Merlin rewatch -- S1E1: The Dragon's Call
About that market fight scene
I'm curious about some of Bradley's choices in this scene.
The first one is this. He was laughing wildly when he provoked " Don't run away ~" When Merlin responded though, his face and tone suddenly went more serious.
It could be an annoyed response to Merlin's "From You?", but Arthur didn't seem to be truly offended by Merlin's words in this episode. He always looked amused and confident. Was there a hint of genuine worry that was hidden under an arrogant mask? Could just be my headcanon though.
Then there was the iconic " How long have you been training to be a prat." of which Arthur's reaction was surprisingly soft.
Before this he had been laughing loudly, his tone had been taunting and strong. But here his face softened just a tiny bit. His voice lowered and he spoke slower too. He sounded oddly sincere and serious when he said " You can't address me like that." It's very interesting. He kept turning his head around to check on his men too. All of this really gave me the feeling that he wasn't saying that because his dignity was wounded, but because calling Arthur names really wasn't appropriate, wasn't safe even, and Merlin needed to stop being " dumb".
Anyway, really love this scene, love Arthur and Bradley James.
Bonus:
Look how proud Merlin was of himself after that "my lord".

Grover manipulating ares in that therapy session by pretending to hate kids and rolling his eyes as if he isn't just a single mom working tirelessly to stop his kids from murdering people on accident.
Just everyone thinking he's so peaceful and sweet and it takes 0.00001 seconds to commit psychological warfare with the GOD OF WAR HIMSELF.

I'm rereading TLT because I have horrible impulse control and i will never get over the stark contrast of the Lotus Casino scenes of both the movie and book
Because movie Percy's like:
Percy: *high on lotus flowers having the time of his life* This is amazing~
Poseidon: *godly whispera in his brain* Percy you're in trouble get out of there
Percy: Oh sh*t he's right! We gotta go
Meanwhile the absolute perfection book Percy goes:
Percy: *while playing games* Oh man I having a great time! I feel warm and happy and relaxed and safe and enjoying life! I have not felt this amazing in years!
Percy:.....
Percy: something's horribly wrong

Times Percy could have told Annabeth he loved her for the first time:
When they reunited after 6 months apart.
When having a private romantic snuggle sesh in the stables.
When he’s saying goodbye to her as she leaves on her solo death quest.
When he refuses to let her fall into Tartarus alone.
When he’s trying to convince her to leave Tartarus without him.
When he actually chose to do it:
After making out with her in front of Piper.
