imagine being so unproblematic sweet and loyal that when you openly threaten to kill the king the loyal knights willing to die for him just laugh it off like "he's in a silly goofy mood"😂😅
Honestly the plot of Merlin is 1000% funnier when it’s from the POV of the knights. Like yeah, there’s a bunch of weird stuff that goes on in Camelot and it usually involves your king so his poor manservant always finds himself in the middle of it. Not only is this servant forgetful, dramatic and overly sarcastic but he also has no self preservation skills and regularly goes missing. For the life of you, you can’t understand why Arthur keeps him around but you root for him anyway because he’s basically the world’s biggest underdog. You’ve seen him poison himself, knock himself out and get outran by a 90yr old man - but still he stays optimistic. He is possibly the worst servant ever but everyone loves him anyway. He’s a treasured friend to you. Now imagine finding out that THIS guy has magic. The knights see Merlin as the human equivalent to an 18yr old Yorkshire terrier with no depth perception - finding out he’s a sorcerer would drive them insane.
@Lily-Sue Rawding ikr even tho yes merlin has to be there and save arthur cos its his destiny but like he does alot more then just saving arthur and thats why i too ship them 😏
Arthur: I don't care about Merlin Merlin: seems sad Arthur: immediately asking what's wrong Merlin: goes missing Arthur: sends a search party out to find him Merlin: still missing Arthur: goes to find him himself Merlin: nearly dies Arthur: does everything in his power to help him Uther: insults Merlin Arthur: defensive mode
does it mean there was no hetero explanation for all the hundreds of guys who could watch me walking around naked in common shower rooms, locker rooms etc over the span of 20yrs or so? oh my. 😱
Not to put a dampner on people's Merthur headcanon, but Merlin *is* Arthur's manservant. He looks after Arthur's rooms, equipment, helps him get dressed, prepares baths etc. (which I think is what is happening in that particular scene), so Merlin seeing Arthur in all states of undress is probably not that unusual. If it makes you feel better, I'm sure the moment at 9:40 sparked all sorts of fun Merthur fanfic 😉😏😂
@@Incoherent-excitement ty, at least one sane opinion to it all. the trouble is, fans want to see Merthur stuff no matter how absurd the notion in the particular circumstances. I like the concept of Merthur too but it needs to make sense. In my head Arthur was far more affectionate (even when people were watching) than was ever shown. Bradley's eyes give away his true feelings more than anything Arthur ever did
Merlin is his servant -: that is sufficient reason apart from any sexual innuendo. The difference in status is so great that the nudity is unimportant even if they become friends of a sort. Or it could be both.
Arthur in general: Merlin, I don't care, sod off Also Arthur: *Merlin hasn't smiled in .03 seconds, therefore something Must Be Wrong, and I absolutely MUST find out what!!*
@@karol_the_kakapo_lover maybe because he spends more time with Merlin than with his wife. wouldn't be surprised if that's actually the case given their duties and daily routines
I love how everyone knows Merlin and Arthur's dynamic enough that he can get a crossbow from the armory, tell a knight he is going to kill the king, and they're all like "yea that's just how they are"
Arthur: „what are you doing creeping around in the woods?” Merlin: “I’m following you. What are *you* doing creeping around in the woods?” Best. Comeback. Ever.
Poor Leon gets stuck with literally everything between Merthur. The constant eyesex, flirty banter, Merlin literally talking about killing Arthur with a CROSSBOW and let's not forget all that poetry. Seriously, I would be surprised if anyone in Camelot knew they weren't boyfriends
Still, Artie's hug was much more honest than Gwaine's or anyone else's. You could really see the bromance between Bradley and Colin come through in this one hug scene. Artie even presses his face into Merlin's neck there, while Gwaine's hugs are much more distant.
@Zayalla Fantasy Its more honest and emotional, because it shows how much more Arthur cares for Merlin. It also shows how close the 2 actors are in real life. Gwaines hug is just a buddy hug. It feels quite distant and unemotional. Arthurs is the right opposite.
@Zayalla Fantasy Their is such thing as a honest hug. If a person doesnt like the other, but hugs them out of politeness, thats a dishonest hug. Because you know, you dont hug people because you hate them. So if you do, thats not a hug out of hate, but simply a dishonest hug out of politeness. So yeah, such a thing does exist.
@@jessicawanyan9785 how could it? Arthur wouldn't seriously hurt Merlin anyway and all he did was tackling him which Merlin, starved as he is, probably filed under 'Arthur hug'
I love Colin (and Merlin) but honestly, that bog mud probably smells rotten and I am not entirely sure my joy of finding him again would negate my revulsion
Is no one going to talk about the part in the last episode where Arthur, after accepting Merlin exactly as he is (the fact that Merlin has magic), apologies for how he's treated Merlin over the years, and he MEANS it! It could've been a new beginning for the two of them, but no, Arthur goes in the forever water and never comes back
merthur is canon and no one can tell me otherwise: merlin: *literally pulls down arthur’s pants so HE can pull them back up* arthur: *literally scared to death when they don’t find merlin also hugs and almost kisses him when they find him covered in mud* both actors: *ships it. bromance and the romance*
see it this way. we are down to spoons. Arthur started with a mace, worked his way around the training grounds and smacked him with all kinds of weapons. Later he used sticks and kicks. Then he used water several times. Now we are at spoons...
It’s really depressing in how Merlin gradually changes and loses his sarcasm and ability to find joy in situations bc he’s so stressed and traumatized about not being able to fulfill his destiny then keeps making mistakes so nothing is enjoyable and everything is PAIN AND DEPRESSION
I could barely watch season 5, hadn't it been for the few extremely well-written jokes and that ghost episode where Merlin fucking slays, I wouldn't have gone through with it. He was so perky in the first seasons, so jolly, and slowly changed to depressed. I really don't understand why Merlin didn't tell him and tortured himself instead, there was no reason to lie after Uthers death it makes no fucking sense
@@lilybliblablubb5023 I was so looking forward to Uthers death so Arthur could know, and IT DID NOT HAPPEN. I just kept waiting through season 4 & 5 just expecting the next episode to be the One Where Author Finds Out and I am still sad it didn’t happen for at least one full season😢 Two episodes in which Arthur is dying isn’t enough at alllllll.
@Marczie-chan trouble is, that 'jealous Merlin' is under the influence of that fomorrah creature Morgana put into his neck. Merlin doesn't remember anything he did while it was active trying to make him assassinate Arthur. We have yet to see a truly jealous Merlin.
My favourite part is this Arthur: tells merlin not to tell anyone about his belt 5 mins later Merlin in front of everyone:be careful we don't want any more holes in that belt
that moment when you stumble across a merlin compilation thinking it's from 2012 and then realising it was published 2 weeks ago.. *_ah..I see the merlin fandom has awoken_*
Magiwren M yeah. Rupert Young who played Leon said in the DVD commentaries that their original plan was: Leon comes in with a cook holding hands walking around the corner, and the 2 pairs run into each other and are rly awkward. He said they actually wanted to film it but weren’t allowed bcz it would be too naughty.
@@annavilavelle632 How does that make Leon gay? Most of the cooks shown in the show were women. All it would have shown is the suggestion that Merlin and Arthur were roaming the halls for the same reason Leon and the cook were. That's why it wasn't permitted - because it was a "family show" and the bloody BBC would only allow so much innuendo to be slipped into the series, despite the show runners admitting that they viewed the show as a love story between Arthur and Merlin.
12:22 I love how Lancelot's immediately like "Oh, Merlin goes, yeah that's probably safer, I'll put my sword right back into my belt and stay here while Merlin handles the situation". Just this subtle recognition, really nice to see
*Merlin appears whenever arthur literally needed him but doesnt want him around* "Arthur: WhY aRE you HerE?!!!" *Merlin disappears for even less than a minute at home* "Arthur:MERLINNNNNNN!!! HaS aNyOne SeEN MERLIN?!!!!"
ikr, as long as something is readily available you neglect it. But once it disappears and you think you lost it the joy of unexpectedly getting it back can make you do such things as Arthur did with the mud covered Merlin out of the bog. Shows how much he cherishes 'that useless toad of a servant'.^^
I love how Gwaine sees the disappointment in Merlin’s eyes when Arthus doesn’g give Merlin a hug 2:03 and he does it instead 2:06. That is real friendship
I love how Arthur never hugged Merlin while he was clean but then literally throws his swords down and hugs Merlin who is covered in who knows what 👁👄👁👀
Friendly reminder that Merlin will never remember Arthur hugging him despite the dirt and mud, and he'll never remember Arthur telling him that he's the only one in the castle he can trust.
arthur: *worried about husband* “wHerE wErE yOu” *stalks husband* “do not leave me again” merlin: * the sassy husband* “BY PUTTING UP WITH YOU” *”friendly” slaps* “sorry i scared you, looks like you jumped out of your skin”
Arthur: lol if you died I wouldn't care Merlin: * doesnt smile * Arthur: I haven't seen you smile in days what's wrong Merlin: * isnt with arthur * Arthur: MERLIN Merlin: * might die * Arthur: *M E R L I N* Also Arthur with his WIFE WHO HAS BEEN POSSESSED: Gwen who?
No, but yes, like he didn't notice when his wife got literally POSSESSED, but as soon as Merlin hadn't been smiling for a few days he was like, MErLiN ArE yOu OKay I'm sO wORriEd.
Arthur : “I hate Merlin, I’d beat him for free” Also Arthur once Merlin disappears: “Where has the other side of me go? The love of my life? My first and last? The other side of my coin? My soulmate? I want him beside me all the time, no rest for those who search him until he is found.”
11:18 I read somewhere that in this scene Leon was supposed to be with a woman, meaning they just had sex, so the scene would have been way more awkward and gay, with Leon heavily suspecting that Arthur and Merlin were doing just the same thing lol
I watched this show the firstxtime when i was around 9 and i'm still not over it. Just finished rewatching it 3 hours ago, cried alot and start it again today
Maybe our grief about the show not continuing is what brings Arthur back cause we need our chaotic duo back that is obviously and totaly in love with each other
I think my favourite thing is how Arthur clearly enjoys Merlin talking back to him. Even in their first meeting he looks pleased with the novelty of someone calling him out, and as time goes on he's relieved to have someone who doesn't put him on a pedestal, someone who will tell him when he's wrong and point out flaws, but still cares about him and will reassure him when it's needed. Merlin is honest with Arthur in almost everything, and while Arthur does develop similar friendships with some of the knights and Gwen, Merlin was his wake up call and the person who never backed down, who just treated him as a person and not a prince, who saw someone stronger than him bullying someone and refused to stand by and let it happen. Whether you consider their relationship romantic or platonic, it's definitely very special and it would be even if they weren't literal soulmates because Arthur needs someone to call him on his shit and Merlin will happily do so
If only we could have one last episode of Merlin with Arthur rising into the new world!!! Even a small instagram video with the two actors would do at this point!
There is something called "kingdomcome" search it up. There is a whole script, a soundtrack, and such to encourage them to give the fans what they wanted for awhile.
@@pauchavez5122 totally, it really destroyed me. If I re-watch the show, I never watch the end. I just imagine that at the end Arthur accepts merlins magic. Merlin is promoted to court sorcerer and later to court phasician (he becomes both when gaius retires) and together with Arthur he slowly brings magic back to Albion.
@@bisnesify Spoiler alert Dude I hate it so much since merlin appears to be waiting for arthur return in the future Like arthur was suppose to bring back magic to Camelot , but in the future arthur wont have any authority , I even imagine that magic in the future will just be a myth The ending to me makes no sense at all
@@pauchavez5122 you're totally right. I don't get it. The prophecy said that they together will unite Albion and restore magic. Great job dude, you failed - - "
1:00 Arthur: 'Ouch. I want Merlin back. Where is he?' To his wife no less. The whole show in a nutshell. The best thing the writers did was to put in all those banter and friendship scenes. Such a joy to watch.
Everytime Arthur avoids hugging Merlin, all I can think of is: When you're gay, but have to hide the fact that you have a boyfriend from your homophobic family and friends or your title as prince and the future king will be revoked
Merlin: *Disappears for a moment* Arthur: *Realizes Merlin is gone* (In his mind) What is this feeling??? Why is there this, what feels like a hole in my soul? Like I'm a coin and I've lost my other half. What will I do?? How will I get through the day??? Arthur: MERLIN!!! Gyus, have you seen my idiot of a servant??? He may be utterly useless, but that doesn't mean he can get out of doing his work!!!
Arthur externally: "Have you seen my useless toad of a servant?" Arthur internally: "Have you seen my precious husband?! I haven't seen him in 5 minutes and I'm scared that I did something wrong!!"
Merlin: *Just walks towards Arthur with a sword* Arthur: *Continues walking* Merlin: *Walks into a pillar and falls and passes out* Arthur: *Looks behind him thinking* (What's up with you?)
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not even Gaius:
Arthur: *mErLiN*
*mErLiN!*
Is it weird I can hear this text?
Aeno not one bit
*_~mErLiN~_*
Actually Gaius does call him... occasionally.... when not being called by Arthur...
"Why have you got stew in your hair?"
*"Well because he was reading"*
One of the best parts of the show 😂😂
And he says it with such a straight face!
He says it as if it was an obvious thing 😂

@Marczie-chan trouble is, that 'jealous Merlin' is under the influence of that fomorrah creature Morgana put into his neck. Merlin doesn't remember anything he did while it was active trying to make him assassinate Arthur. We have yet to see a truly jealous Merlin.
This fandom will never die. I'm convinced
The fandom will never die... but Arthur did.

That would be amazing 😂😂😂
powerful? He would never get out of the stocks again
11:15 Meanwhile Leon totally thinks they’re secretly making out in the halls
Magiwren M yeah. Rupert Young who played Leon said in the DVD commentaries that their original plan was: Leon comes in with a cook holding hands walking around the corner, and the 2 pairs run into each other and are rly awkward. He said they actually wanted to film it but weren’t allowed bcz it would be too naughty.
@@yzoe356 Leon gay? Accepted it.
😂😂
Annavi Lavelle I agree
@@annavilavelle632 How does that make Leon gay? Most of the cooks shown in the show were women. All it would have shown is the suggestion that Merlin and Arthur were roaming the halls for the same reason Leon and the cook were. That's why it wasn't permitted - because it was a "family show" and the bloody BBC would only allow so much innuendo to be slipped into the series, despite the show runners admitting that they viewed the show as a love story between Arthur and Merlin.
arthur and merlin are the two characters who willNEVER fail to make me happy.

he should have kissed Merlin instead o.o

So no one is going to touch on how gay the scene was when Arthur wasn't wearing pants and turned Merlin around against the table??? lol

ikr, as long as something is readily available you neglect it.

Merlin: Let me help you sire.
Everybody in the room: seems pretty gay.

8:13 Arthur was completely fine walking around Merlin naked but panics when Gwen is there instead of him.
well, maybe he doesn't have to prove anything to Merlin...^^
YES oh my god someone else mentioned it! I died!
And he like did it hundreds of times because Merlin basically takes him a bath and he comfortable with him
@Wildmage Nobody totally agree
bruh you guys r so deep in the ship that you've forgotten how straight people work lmao
I love how Gwaine sees the disappointment in Merlin’s eyes when Arthus doesn’g give Merlin a hug 2:03 and he does it instead 2:06. That is real friendship
Gwain was such an amazing friend to Merlin 🤩
STOP
if Merlin would ever show any sign of getting tired to put up with Arthur a minute longer, Gwaine would happily step in and scurry him away
Thats a friendship, that is a REAL HUSBANDS
I love how Arthur never hugged Merlin while he was clean but then literally throws his swords down and hugs Merlin who is covered in who knows what 👁👄👁👀
covered in mud fresh out of the bog. stinky, rotten smell. the worst. Arthur: nvm

Arthur : “I hate Merlin, I’d beat him for free”
Also Arthur once Merlin disappears: “Where has the other side of me go? The love of my life? My first and last? The other side of my coin? My soulmate? I want him beside me all the time, no rest for those who search him until he is found.”

11:18 I read somewhere that in this scene Leon was supposed to be with a woman, meaning they just had sex, so the scene would have been way more awkward and gay, with Leon heavily suspecting that Arthur and Merlin were doing just the same thing lol

me: 'it's just a show, it's just a show, they're not REAL'
also me: 'LONG LIVE THE KING! ' *crying intensifies*
We need the once and future king of Albion! Long live the KING!
Long Live the King
I am going through that right now..cant stop thinking about this..
I watched this show the firstxtime when i was around 9 and i'm still not over it. Just finished rewatching it 3 hours ago, cried alot and start it again today
Maybe our grief about the show not continuing is what brings Arthur back cause we need our chaotic duo back that is obviously and totaly in love with each other
Too bad merlin doesn’t remember when arthur hugged him, only the one where arthur asked him to
I should adopt that attitude. Iirc Arthur asked Merlin to 'just hold him'.
I think my favourite thing is how Arthur clearly enjoys Merlin talking back to him. Even in their first meeting he looks pleased with the novelty of someone calling him out, and as time goes on he's relieved to have someone who doesn't put him on a pedestal, someone who will tell him when he's wrong and point out flaws, but still cares about him and will reassure him when it's needed.
Merlin is honest with Arthur in almost everything, and while Arthur does develop similar friendships with some of the knights and Gwen, Merlin was his wake up call and the person who never backed down, who just treated him as a person and not a prince, who saw someone stronger than him bullying someone and refused to stand by and let it happen.
Whether you consider their relationship romantic or platonic, it's definitely very special and it would be even if they weren't literal soulmates because Arthur needs someone to call him on his shit and Merlin will happily do so

@@pauchavez5122 totally, it really destroyed me. If I re-watch the show, I never watch the end. I just imagine that at the end Arthur accepts merlins magic.
