I love that one scene in the cup of life episode where Arthur and Gwaine are peacocking about who’s the better fighter and Merlin is just like: “shut up, you’re both pretty. But hey, maybe don’t try and impress slavers, dumbasses! Let’s go.”
And it fucking works?!
Merlin was absolutely in charge of all the knights lives 100% of the time, even if he let them think otherwise for their pride occasionally.

Can’t stop thinking about a very specific dynamic
A healer and a knight fall in love.
The healer spends hours healing everyone but themselves. Caring for the sick, stitching wounds, setting bones, pushing dislocated limbs back into place. Wearing themselves to exhaustion.
The knight gently tends to the healer. Holds them in a hot bath, rubbing the soreness from their muscles under the warm water. Applies balm to their chapped fingers. Brings them tea and tucks them into bed before climbing in beside them.
The knight defends everyone. Fights off the enemy with a sword and a shield, takes the blows intended for someone else, holds the line until help arrives, fights through any and all injuries they need to in order to defend those under their protection.
The healer defends the knight when they’re down for the count. When the knight collapses, the healer takes up their sword and defends them until they get back to their feet. If someone dares to say anything against their knight they get in their faces and the healers words are sharp and cold as any blade, cutting deep into their opponent.

I love how the fandom collectively agree that the knights of the round table are basically just Merlin’s fangirls

Merlin will see the most dysfunctional members of society he can find and be like “yes. This is it.”

Merlin: [about Arthur] I think we have to convince him that we can't solve this thing without him.
Gwaine: How do we do that?
Merlin: Most likely through the use of trickery.

This is my first post(sorry had to point that out)
So I've recently joined the Merlin Fandom and have decided to ask about what's happening with the ships.
So like with every Fandom the MC is normally shipped with anybody and everybody but normally the ships have no way to actually work, but with Merlin you could ship him with practically everyone and it would work in canon because everyone has had a crush on him.
Arthur? Their infatuated with eachother
Gwaine? "Not Arthur" he's so FAITHFUL AND LOYAL AND IT HURTS
Lancelot? Obvious
Will? Childhood friends to lovers? Claiming he's the sorcerer instead of Merlin to protect him?
Morgana? GwEN? LEON? PERCIVAL? ELYAN?
EVERYONE FREAKING WORKS AND ITS SO CONFUSING
Mordred had a puppy crush on him (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called when you admire someone as greatly as Mordred admired Merlin) like there's no such thing as a rare pair in regards to Merlin because you could ship him with anyone above and almost everyone would be like "that works" or "okay" like obviously everyone has different tastes in ships and prefers a ship VS another ship but still (for example, I don't like morganaxmerlin or Mordredxmerlin)
Anyways thanks for coming to my TED talk
