Call it what you want.^^ I think it is a prime example of how friendships should be portrayed regardless of gender. The way Merlin and Arthur treat each other (forget the master/servant stuff of the 6th century, talking about their relationship besides that), the care they show for each other, the looks into each others eyes, gazes or even ogling, it should be the most normal thing in the world for two [young men who are] friends. We shouldn't call it 'gay' unless they start boning each other lest it might discourage others to follow their example. The world would be a sadder place. So let's *encourage* the people around us to be friends with each other like Merlin and Arthur.
@@granville7 this is so funny because i can't make it any more obvious that i made this video to portray the romance of their relationship. nothing wrong with two men being friends lol but that's not what this video is about. i mean yeah i like them as friends but also as potential lovers, read the lyrics.
@@flowerbookmark I get your point but it does work only with a lot of projection, doesn't it? I don't mean the 'love' part, they certainly love each other but calling it a 'romance' would be the projection part. If not, maybe you can help me see it too.
@@anjamuller3933 I watched that clip many months ago (and others about Sherlock et al). The definition of 'gay' varies greatly mainly because of cultural background. Americans and Europeans already see it differently, not to mention the differences between a Swede and Spaniard. All that despite the influence of the last 40yrs when Hollywood prudery in US films and TV shows formed the minds of Europeans too (or the rest of the world). The fact remains, Arthur never kissed Merlin (not that it means anything), nor did they ever share a bed (not even when lodging in a tavern when looking for the last dragonlord; beds were an extreme luxury back then and it could be entirely innocent) and Merlin certainly never made the first move (would be unbecoming considering his station) so there is no real basis for labeling them 'gay' even by our current standards. Back then it would have been utterly ridiculous since the concept didn't exist and Arthur was free to do with Merlin whatever he wanted.
I'm still working on it too but I finished the show for the first time in autumn 2019. Found some sort of closure in the fanmade script for an imagined s6 called 'Kingdom Come'.
Yes, the S6: Kingdom Come is AMAZING!!!! Also, search “Balencian Merlin S6: Kingdom Come” on RUclips, as someone turned it into an audio version of the script-probably the closest we’ll ever get to the show we all want, but it’s amazing!
I'M SORRY I'M BACK BUT I CAN'T STOP WATCHING???? LIKE THE CLIPS YOU CHOSE ARE PERFECT??? THE SONG IS PERFECT??????? THE SCENES YOU CHOSE FOR CERTAIN LYRICS ARE PERFECT??? GAHHH
@@flowerbookmark you did a stellar job and I thank you for that. I'm curious though: your source material comes in very high resolution, better than my dvds. Where did you get it from?
this is an utter masterpiece. this belongs on a museum wall. everything about it, the editing and matching the song lyrics and THE EDITING is just breathtaking. thank you for making this.
I know I'm almost 5 years late, but I just have to tell you that I can't stop watching this. This is already my 3rd time watching this in the last week..
BEST MERTHUR VIDEO EVER 👏 It was my surprise song on The Eras Tour! I screamed so hard and was sobbing! This song fits them perfectly and I can’t believe i heard it live 😭❤️🩹🫠
The best thing about Merlin fandom is that this video is only one year old and already has more than 2k likes- we’re as imortal as Merlin, waiting for our ship to sail
Absolutely fantastic!! Reminds me of everything I liked about their relationship and this made me super emotional and I had a huge smile on my face the entire video! Really great editing, I love the mood you created sooooo much
It just seems like they are a couple in secret. I mean this edit is a masterpiece and ppl who haven't watched the show must think they are a couple. ❤️❤️❤️
That 'you don't need to save me but would u run away with me' part is so good im crying...... thank u for the video im gonna watch it over and over again😭
so um it happens that i just finished the show and can’t get over the fact that he died and was immediately attacked with this. it’s illegal don’t do this to me. its my frickin stan song and my stan show and IT HURTS I’M SOBBING but i’m so grateful for this thank you for makinv this🤧
i'm so sorry to hear that it always hurts like hell in the first watch but i'm glad you liked this video even if it made you sad! i also really love this song it's one of my favorites from the album 💜
flowerbookmark i didn’t meant it in that way. i meant to say i absolutely adoreee this and even tho i’m sad about arthur, this just made me feel soo much better. you’re honestly so talented i’d love to see more content like this from you. subscribed!!♥️
@@khadijahzzx4736 i'm glad then!! i tried to make it hopeful because i felt like the death scene and everything else wouldn't fit the vibes of the song. and thank you so much, i was considering making another merthur video with king of my heart... that's another song that fits them very well.
So beautiful. I think the lyrics fit well and I’m thankful this didn’t make me cry lol although sad edits are equally beautiful, I think we need more videos like this that still have the same feeling yet doesn’t make me cry. Also I love the coloring
I always come back here to review this masterpiece. This is, by far, my favourite Merthur video and I will never tire of appreciating how much this lyric describes their relationship. Becomes more special to me because I love Taylor and this song. Thank you!
Oh my gosh!! Merlin and Taylor Swift, my two favourite things. You did such a wonderful job with this video, the lyrics match so perfectly with the video. I cannot stop watching, thank you SO much!
This is a really great job :-) the lyrics and the song match perfectly, I really love this. Thank you !! sorry for my english, I'm from Belgium but I really wanted to leave a "congratulations" on this.
ohhhhh. this song works ridiculously well for them and everything about your editing and scene choices brings that out wonderfully. this is truly a delight to watch, thank you! 💖
this is the third time im watching this edit, i associate this song with them i love this and them so much... and now im gonna go watch diamond of the day AGAIN and sob :)
This is literally one of the gayest series without any homosexuell relationships. But I love Arthur and Merlin sooo much... Thank you for the video.

I’ve rewatched this show 3 times.... and I’m still not over his death
I'm still working on it too but I finished the show for the first time in autumn 2019. Found some sort of closure in the fanmade script for an imagined s6 called 'Kingdom Come'.
Same
Me 7 times 🤗
I still have a hard time watching these videos. And watching the actual episode has me bawling. It's too much for my heart to take. :(

@@flowerbookmark you did a stellar job and I thank you for that. I'm curious though: your source material comes in very high resolution, better than my dvds. Where did you get it from?
@@granville7 thank you, i downloaded the episodes from a locked twitter account called logoless merlin i think
@@flowerbookmark thx. maybe netflix aired it in a better format than dvds come in.
this is an utter masterpiece. this belongs on a museum wall. everything about it, the editing and matching the song lyrics and THE EDITING is just breathtaking. thank you for making this.
