I AM STILL ON THIS KICK

[whynot]

UGH, the fight scenes are PATHETIC. I winced and cringed. THESE are the fuckin' knights of Camelot? "We're gonna crouch symmetrically in the background while we watch our prince ponce around with his spear." And YOU. ARTHUR. STOP PONCING. Let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

"And I need WHOOPS I MEAN-- Camelot needs your red hot lovin' UM THAT IS TO SAY-- your... bravery. Yeah." Oh, Arthur-king.

"I SEE YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THIS, ARTHUR." ...in bed.

Seriously, the music for this show is ridiculous. "Alas, for I have a paper cut!" Orchestral score: "OH NOOOOOOOES!!!111"

If there was a drinking game where you drink every time someone on the show says the word destiny, you would be quite jolly by end credits indeed. Merlin is, apparently, everyone's destiny.

Apparently there are already quibbles about black people on the show, and how that's not historically accurate. Um. Guys, there are also dragons and dinosaurs and gryphons and sparkly magic on the show. If you're going to be sticklers for accuracy, black people are the least of your worries.

Where is the fic where Arthur debauches Merlin and Morgana and Lancelot, being snippy and arrogant and exulting in decadence and, man, it's going to be hard work getting this fucker up to kingly standards. Like, that quote in Anansi Boys, where Spider walks down the street with girls on each arm, lazily kissing them like taking individual bites out of summer fruit. THAT fic.

SREIOUSLY. man, i don't need one more fandom, i need to do my homework. and if i were picking up another fandom, why is it another medieval-esque shtick when i thought i mentioned to me that i wanted something contemporary in an urban setting?

i need to set up a delicious account i think. keep track of this shit.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

HERE COMES THE SLASHER DRAGON.

"MERLIN, YOU MUST LET ARTHUR DO YOU UP THE BUTT. OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND. WHATEVER YOUR PREFERENCE IS."

"But, my destiny never entailed anal intercourse! With another man, no less!"

"HUSH, LITTLE DRAGON-LING. WE MUST DO THE FAN SERVICE AND YOU MUST LOOK SMOLDERINGLY AT ARTHER. AND LET HIM DO YOU UP THE BUTT."

"Alright. If it's my destiny then."

This show is ridiculous but I still want to watch it. I hope it suffers the same British show phenomenon of being badly made but charming in its first season but better-funded and better for the next one (Torchwood comes to mind).

i know right, that dragon is ridiiiiiiiculous. i bet he's writing torrid arthurian slashfic in-between being cryptic to merlin. and ME TOO. i have been a mass of flail and capslock over it. BBC, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO ME.

It doesn't help that Arthur is so stupidly pretty while being hot with a sword and being very fit. And Merlin's all twee and stupidly noble and so goddamn adorkable.

The slash just writes itself. All we need to do is sit back and watch it happen.

ARTHUR IS SUPER GOOD LOOKING
omg i want
merlin is meh, except for that whole superhot chemistry he's got going on with the once and future king. so, it's a good thing that this comprises about 90% of his character.

it really does, oh my gosh it really does, i don't even have to try. i just have to quote!

I think that fic is in your head waiting to be written.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

this is true. SOON, MY PRETTY.

man, there are already multiple fic communities AND a merlin/arthur holiday exchange and THERE ARE ONLY SIX EPISODES.

I have to wait till tomorrow to see this ep.

Life is not fair, I tell you.

it is nowhere near as FTW as episode 4, but the addition of lancelot to the list of people to ship is Hooray. oh, this show and its ridiculousness, how i have a crush on it.
