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.

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!
