I will never get tired of using this icon.
It's like the writers are all, "How many different types of awesome/ships/Harry Potter rip-offs can we achieve in one season?" Clearly I should be doing homework right now, so I'm just going to tell you
Morgana: "I will never forgive you."
Is this a purposeful throwback to Episode 8's "I do not seek her forgiveness" (one of my favorite lines from Episode 8, BTW)?
In any case, LET US TALK OF UTHER/MORGANA. Because she DOES forgive him, and he TOTALLY SEEKS HER FORGIVENESS. He needs it! omg. His declaration of love by the cairn? Oh my sweet holy fuck, in so many ways. AND THEN SHE KILLS FOR HIM and they HUG AS THEIR BEAUTIFUL CLOAKS WAVE BEAUTIFULLY IN THE WIND.
SHOW.
WHAT.
At first I totally thought this episode is where we see Morgana go evil, but she's the type who would go evil because she cares, you know? She goes evil because Uther made her girlfriend cry. And I'm sure Morgana going evil would have been awesome, but then there was Uther/Morgana cuddling and BEAUTIFUL CLOAKS and it was so much better.
Ummmm, let us TALK ABOUT THAT DUNGEON. I was like, "That's going to make it into fics." And then I realized IT ALREADY HAS. This fandom is like rife with dungeon porn!
Uther: "Take care, child, or I'll have you restrained."
Morgana: "You just try."
Uther: "And you will stay here until you've learned your lesson."
Writers of Uther/Morgana bondage fic, YOU HAVE BEEN VALIDATED. It's like someone should set up a fic challenge where they take actual dialogue from the show but change the setting to PORN because, god, between THIS and the Rat Stew Incident, oh my god.
Morgana: "I spent the night in the dungeon."
Gwen: "Uther."
See?! Gwen knows what's going on because it is a FREQUENT OCCURRENCE. Dungeon by day, boom-boom room by night.
"Is it usual for Uther to chain his friends to a dungeon wall?" I think the answer is a COLLECTIVE AND RESOUNDING YES. Kings of Camelot, they are kinky.
OH MY FAVORITE MAGNIFICENT BASTARD (and least anachronistic character on the show). One day you are going to lose EVERYTHING YOU LOVE, so you enjoy your dungeon while you can. Don't forget the safety word.
I am instituting a category called IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, for obvious reasons. Things in this category include the following lines (which are, strangely enough, all Morgana's):
-- "You're a better man than your father. Always were."
-- "Nothing a hot bath wouldn't fix." WHERE IS THE FIC WHERE THERE IS MORGANA/GWEN SEXYTIEMS IN THE BATH.
-- "It's understandable to feel so alone." Eww, Morgana, stop trying to seduce Gwen at her most vulnerable.
-- "I thought only of Gwen."
-- "Do you think we can have some privacy?" The knights, like Gwen, know what's up. At least when it comes to who is sleeping with who, and that's no mean feat when it comes to Camelot. Still, it was a good thing Morgana went to see Torin instead of the knights; they probably would've just eaten spam at him.
--"I know how he respected you, my lord."
Morgana, what a tart. ...An awesome tart.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH. She has the king and prince of Camelot wrapped around her little finger and she KNOWS IT. She knows how to get what she wants from Arthur and Uther. She knows her trump cards with both of them and knows how to use them. Morgana knows her power as a woman and a royal, and when she finally knows her power as a magician, WATCH OUT WORLD. I love this girl. And her stole.
Okay, so this destiny and impending doom thing. I can't help but think that the way Merlin keeps on doing the opposite of what the destiny-seeing dragon tells him is going to come back and bite him in the ass. And that's going to be what brings Camelot to tragic ruination. Which would be awful and great, but I dunno if Show has those kinds of balls. I can only imagine that at the end of it all there's going to be some Aesop about forging your own destiny, or that our beloved Dragon is pulling some sort of Oracle-telling-Neo-he's-not-the-One kind of thing.
What else? OH YES. I love Merlin letting Gwen sleep in his bed. And that the night before, she was too distraught for Merlin to let her go home and be alone, and they end up cuddling on the bed as Merlin says comfortingly awkward things as Gwen sniffles into his shoulder. At some point, he kisses her face. Awwwwww. Oh, it totally happened.
...The MAGE STONE?? Dude, we know what it is, stop fucking around and just call it what it is. And then I remembered what show I was watching and took the stick out my butt. NEXT WEEK: Camelot has to fend off Dementors and Merlin uses polyjuice potion to infiltrate a Death Eater orgy. Hilarity ensues!
I LOVE THAT THEY BRING BACK THE MAGIC WAND. MERLIN. HAS A MAGIC WAND. Oh god, this fandom doesn't need MORE phallic symbols. But we would certainly enjoy them all the same!
And the rest of it:
-- I like the little detail of the guard following Morgana to Gwen's place. Her royal guard or whatev.
-- I CANNOT SEE THE FUTURE hahaha, oh show.
-- "Do not question my father's orders." I love how he says it -- much more compelling than starting swordfights over it. Arthur was especially fetching this episode, for like the twelve seconds he appears in it.
-- Arthur and Merlin share clothes, y/y.
-- THE ARTHUR/GWEN IN MERLIN'S ROOM MAKES ME GO LIKE THIS: hfoaskfs;'gk;dk;flajgiofld,cremie. ARTHURRRRR. GWENNNNNN. The both of you SO STOUTLY HONORABLE. (arthurrrrrr.)
-- PASSING THE APPLE OH MERLIN
-- Gaius's double chin is weird and creepy.
-- "Where in my destiny does it say I have to murder people?!" Merlin, you have been murdering people since Episode 1. I suspect we have seen you kill more people than Arthur has, and he's a knight.
Also, the dragon started his own LJ account.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slash_dragon, 'cos it's not like there's much to do when you're chained up in an underground cavern.
I love this fandom so much.

Oh SHOW! Crossed fingers that is re-newed.
no subject
morgana is so awesome! and she has the most GORGEOUS EYES. oh merlin, with your eating of arthuriana and feminism and democratic attitudes, and shitting out of PINK SPARKLY GLITTER.
no subject
Also Merlin's moral conundrums about killing people are so freaking adorable. It's like watching a puppy. A dumb puppy. COME ON YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE KINGMAKING HERE.
no subject
SREIOUSLY. it's weird sometimes reconciling his casual killing with that guileless face. he does it all for arthur, of course.
no subject
i love it soooooooooo much
no subject
And may this trend continue when Arthur is king. :)
NEXT WEEK: Camelot has to fend off Dementors and Merlin uses polyjuice potion to infiltrate a Death Eater orgy. Hilarity ensues!
And that would STILL be less gay than the unicorn episode.
This fandom KILLS me with how cracktastic it is. And how fast it got there, too! *twirls fandom around*
no subject
the fandom is only slightly more cracktastic than the show and i love iiiiiiit
