#poor poor Merlin
Text
I was reading a merthur fic (this one) today and..
In the fic Merlin tells Arthur that he has magic, and Arthur asks why has Merlin never told him and then.. this..
"Just because Arthur could trust Merlin with his life didn't mean Merlin could do the same."
"JUST BECAUSE ARTHUR COULD TRUST MERLIN WITH HIS LIFE DIDN'T MEAN MERLIN COULD DO THE SAME."
This.. is the most devastating line I have ever read in a Merthur fic, ever..

arthur, to me, is the most tragic merlin character. he is betrayed by everyone he is close to. his whole family. uther was such a bad father to him, morgana went against him, agravaine was never with him. even merlin lied to him. all he tried to do was his best, yet he constantly felt like he was failing. he felt like he had to push people away, that he couldnt let them in. his life was cut short before he could show people who he was.
yes, merlin lost everyone, but he knew the whole time. he knew what was happening, he was able to try and stop it. arthur didnt know. he wasnt told a lot of things. people kept him out of their decisions.

The phrase ignorance is bliss is coined by King Arthur Pendragon after finding out his manservant and only friend has magic and has been using it to accomplish increasingly dangerous feats in order to protect Camelot and his King. Where before, Arthur could mock Merlin’s laziness, clumsiness and cowardice, afterward Arthur is in a constant state of anxious worry.

In some random modern Arthur returns au, Merlin would be living in this small little everyone knows everyone village. And magic or not sorta world, everyone knows that Merlin is much older than he looks, that's he's lived there for a very long time and just keeps to himself most of the time.
Then Arthur comes crawling out of the lake and joins Merlin in the village, living at his sweet wee cottage.
And the little everyone knows everyone community goes mental that this new and random guy just starts living with the town cryptid.
One day, both Merlin and Arthur are at the town's only cafe/restaurant/ literal hole in the wall, and someone finally works up the courage to ask how the two met.
Arthur, still getting used to the modern world and trying to be very polite to the villagers: we knew each other when we were younger
Merlin who no longer gives two shits: yeah, and then I found him at the lakeside bleeding out from a stab wound after he had escaped a crazy cult
The poor person who now regrets asking: oh... That's nice?
#Merlin would just say the stupidest stuff thats actually true#Arthur has a heart attack over everything#The poor villagers just get used to both of their shit#And are also very happy that theyre seeing Merlin so happy#bbc merlin#merlin#arthur pendragon#bbc merthur#merthur#arthur returns#in this essay i will

“average citizen of camelot experiences 3 betrayals a week” factoid actually just a statistical error. king arthur, who was betrayed and lied to by his father, sister, wife, uncle, two favourite knights, best friend and personal manservant,
#i'm 99% sure i've made this joke before but i can't find it now#i tag everything and i can never find shit. typical.#no but seriously i think about this all the time#poor arthur#arthur pendragon#merlin#merlin memes

Merlin, on the phone with Arthur: turn around
Merlin: no the other way
Merlin: no wait now the other way
Merlin: okay one more time
Arthur: OH MY GOODNESS WHERE ARE YOU?!?!
Merlin: oh i'm not there yet but the thought of you aimlessly turning around in circles amuses me

partying in the lake with Merlin's exes must be awkward. Freya Merlin's first love who tried to kill Arthur and Arthur ended up killing her, Lancelot with whom Arthur's wife cheated on him and well Arthur. This soup is very interesting
#they have their fish party#This must be so awkward#Besides#Arthur is offended because he's the only one who didn't get flowers. Again#poor man#Merlin#lancelot du lac#freya merlin#arthur pendragon#merthur#mercelot#merlin x freya

Remember Morris?
I love the idea of him feeling indebted to Merlin. So while Merlin goes around protecting Arthur, Morris just covers for him. With no hesitation.
Merlin covered in blood? Oh, he was simply helping the kitchen butcher some animals, sire.
Merlin dragging an unconscious body? Oh, he was simply taking them to see Gaius, sire.
Merlin holding a sword over some noble's head? Oh, he was simply demonstrating the sword's balance, sire.
#what did happen to morris??#poor boy got insulted#weapons thrown at him#and fired within a span of minutes.#merlin emrys#bbc merlin#merlin#they could have been besties#I JUST KNOW IT
