Merlin 2.1 reax post made up mostly of visuals and glee
Oh Merlin. You're back.
First off, HI. What is Arthur wearing to bed these days? They're like... tight black leggings of some sort.
OH FACES OF BRADLEY.
"He keeps the key in his *private chambers* and there's only one person allowed in there. His servant." Um yeah, that's the actual line. Okay, I may have included the asterisks. But look at the video while the deus ex extra speaks in voiceover:
I like the setup of Merlin so much. It's the standard underdog story, of course. The nebbishy, seemingly clumsy character is really a super hero *gasp*. But as opposed to Smallville's handling of Clark Kent you have a guy who's tucked up close to the future King, who can't show his King all the many times he's saved his life, and the King keeps on thinking he's just a dunce. A likeable dunce, but still a dunce. Clark just got all moony-faced over having to keep his big ol' burden of a secret from Lana, who didn't really deserve to have her life saved five million times. If you'll pardon the comparison there.
As much as Merlin may think Arthur is a prat, he knows his life is worth saving and his secret is worth keeping.
"Someone else got the credit. Just the usual."
And later... after Arthur appears looking scrumptious in blue velvet:
...Merlin says:
"I just want Arthur to trust me, and to see me for who I really am."
AW. *sniffles*
And:
"Everything I do is for him."
GAW. Also, bravo Gaius for being so awesome.
If I were in a femslash challenge, my prompt would be: Gwen helps Morgana sleep. And not with a blow to the head. Ha!
But then... Gwen busts out the boobs, but not for Morgana:
"Close your eyes, Merlin," the dragon says, " and open your mouthmind."
Also, I love Mackenzie Crook, who played Cedric. I wish he wasn't "dead." He's such a great character actor. (He was the pirate in PoTC whose eye kept popping out). Where are the Evil!Merlin AU fics?
Okay THEN. This morning, after a near-sleepless night, I had this really er... perverted dream. Wherein Sorcerer-Cedric kidnaps Arthur and steals away with him into the forest and keeps Arthur in this small hut as his er... toy. And does dirty things to him. And then Merlin BUSTS down the door with his magic powers and rescues Arthur. Yeah. *hides*
In short, I am a sad, silly fangirl.
