english :: You all must know already that I ship EVERYTHING when it comes to Merlin. If you don't, consider this my statement. I've been planning to do this for a looong time, luckily for me, my top ships have remained quite similar to how I left them when season 1 ended. ANYWAY. THIS FANDOM NEEDS VARIETY. I NEED VARIETY. ANYWAY. MY LOVE FOR THIS SHIPS, I WANT TO SHOUT IT ACROSS THE INTERNETKINGDOM. :DDD
español :: El que no sabe que lo mío es le multishipping, debe vivir bajo una roca. Si no lo saben, supongo que esto será prueba suficiente. He querido hacer este picspam desde que termino la uno, y mis gustos no han variado tanto, solo se le han sumado varias cosas I guess. BRINDO POR LA VARIEDAD, Y/Y?!!!!!!!!!!!
ETA porque tengo memoria de chorlito. Esto va a oficiar (a falta de algo mejor!) como pequeño regalito de navidad para mini!me, como parte de las lecciones de como shippear al mundo entero XD. DARLING SE TE LUVEA AUNQUE AUN NO CAIGAS EN EL ARTHUR/GWEN (ya lo harás, ya lo harás!). Gracias por seguirme mis locuras ♥ *se la achucha*
THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ALL SEASON 2
merlin
merlin/morgana
morgana: I was worried about you. [...] You're a good friend.
watch you fade away
when I saw the pilot one of the first things I thought was... if I'm going to ship anything, it's going to be them. They have awesome chemistry, they distort the edges between Lady and Servant without it being actually erased, they are friends, and OH THEY ARE TRAGIC. The poison scene is probably my favourite in the entire series and I ship them EVEN MORE after it. I can't wait to see them facing each other again. And weird as it might be, a part of me still hops it could end well ♥
merlin/nimueh
nimueh: You too are a creature of the old religion. You should join me.
guide you in the night
this was indeed my first OMG OMG OMG ship. It was instantaneous, I saw Nimueh and I knew it, it just grew stronger episode by episode, and even though Nimueh is gone, it will remain one of my favourites pleasures of the show. I love the idea of Nimueh being obsessed with him, such a strange creature to pop out in her already broken world, and the idea of him addicted to her magic, to her. Also, POWERFUL MAGIC PEOPLE, what else could you want?
arthur
arthur/merlin
arthur: If I need a servant t in the next life
merlin: don't ask me
a journey to make
I don't think I need to explain why I love these kids so much, do I? I do ship them more in fandom than in the series to be quite honest, but I LOVE the way they are, the bickering, the making each other be better, the fighting together, being the last ones standing. The last two episodes gave me two scenes that kill me, I have this thing for Merlin & Arthur at battle, back to back, fighting. And I can't explain how much I LOVE the show for giving me that ♥
arthur/gwen
arthur: she's not dispensable to me
the last thing I saw coming
I'll admit it, I started liking this two for the name!sex, k? Happy? XD Truth is, I have really grow to love them and ship them. There's something really fairytale about them that I love, The fact that he can push the right strings to make her stand up, to act more secure of herself, and the fact that she can show him how different the world is. It's like they are two kids learning about something that's not just lust but it's not friendship and not knowing what to do with it. ♥
morgana
morgana/merlin
merlin: You can trust me, Morgana. You know you can.
on the other shore
Yes. This is here TWICE. I ship Morgana with a lot of people, but Merlin is always there. It's so compelling that they would attract each other, being the same and so completely different. Merlin being destined to become the good one and she the bad one, and the middle, all the possibilities. It's fascinating. The number of times The nightmares begin could have gone different is impossible to count, and with it, their whole relationship. Did I say I love them? ♥
morgana/uther
uther: Without you, I cannot hope to be the king this land deserves.
sorry for your tears
OH HAI SHIP OF AWESOME. The way I squeed over this ship in the first season and the ÑASLALS YEY moments it gave me in the second I can't explain them. I know they are supposed to be in a father/daughter relationship, BUT WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES SO. They acted like a married coupled since episode 6/7, worrying over Arthur, she being the only one to really have a power over him. Also, they have one of the most complicated relationships in the series; the love/hate dynamic is awesome (still when rushed up!). They are also the most grey characters the series have and seen them go backwards and forwards together looking for balance is more than intriguing it's hot too XD.
gwen
gwen/arthur
gwen: Because I thought you'd shown some humility. You had done something kind for me even though I'm just a servant.
learned to trust it
Ok, I have to admit, they weren't supposed to be here TWICE. Because, they are on the edge between my TOP ships and my love-but-not-top list. XD But the thing is, I don't ship this two with that many people (as i do with other!) So, they get lucky. And anyway, they are pretty, and ♥ anyway, so, I won't complain. I decided to use 2x02 caps for Gwen because in this episode she was the hopeful one, when in episode 10, Arthur is. ANYWAY. THE PRETTY LET ME SHOW YOU ♥
gwen/morgana
morgana: She is more than just my maid. She's my friend.
me encantaría volver a verte reír
AWESOME GIRLS ARE PRETTY AND AWESOME. I have loved them since a long time ago, with them being so friendly and looking at each other knowingly. They are canon, even with Morgana drifting apart (why write4rs why?!) Gwen remained worried about her, always caring, and was the ONLY one to actually realize things were wrong with her. I wouldn't be surprised if Gwen actually knew about Morgana's magic and wasn't surprised with her going away. And they love each other, period ♥
nimueh
nimueh/merlin
nimueh: Pity. Together we could have ruled the world.
to the mountains we'll meet, it's almost a trap
Did I say I love them? I know my illogical love for Nimueh probably has something to do with it, BUT GOD THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TOGETHER; see, even they know it! And I think, it would have been great. She knows his potential and he could use some real guidance when it comes on his own power. And they would look pretty and be awesome at it. I loved to focus on Nimueh obsessing over him, and Merlin being the one to take her away. IN MY PERFECT WORLD THEYLL BE TOGETHER IN SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY ARE NO MORE. Makes sense? XD
nimueh/uther
nimueh: i was your friend, uther.
forget what i've done
PRESERIESLOVE♥ The amount of love that I have for these two can't be contained in the whole world. Nothing will make me believe they weren't involved somehow. They are probably the reason why I love Excalibur so much, and even with such a little scene I go all WIHI every time I see it. There's so much we really don't know about the pre!series part, but, these two are, for me, canon. ♥
uther
uther/morgana
uther: If she should die; a large part of me would die with her.
todo mas que nada sufre
If season 2 has proved something is that Uther really really loves Morgana, every doubt I could have about him harming her if he knew about her magic were erased. I don't think he would find himself capable of raising a hand against her. And I think her loss will drive him eve more lonely and make him even more incapable of running his Kingdom. He needs her, and in the end, I think she needed him too. To know that he would have loved her no matter what, that she had his unconditional love. ♥ The fact that I'd love to eventually see Morgana be the one to take Uther life is not fucked up at all, OK? XD
uther/nimueh
uther: Will I never be rid of her?
En este exilio que me has obligado a compartir
GAH. More love for this two. It was really hard to picspam them TWICE when there's so so so little about them. I believe in a whole preseries!orgy, mind you, but these two lead them all. I like the idea of them being friends, being well, more than friends, and really loving each other even though they probably just weren't together, Igraine and all (OT3 ANYONE?) and their actions just feeling time and space with betrayal and pain. I'm pretty sure Uther never had the heart to really kill Nimueh, so, he just banished from the Kingdom ♥ Also, I believe their relationship was fucked up from the start obviously. IM SO CURIOUS ABOU THEM AND THE WHOLE PRESERIES PEOPLE. I can't really be the only one, rite?
gaius
gaius/nimueh
gaius: My lady.
nimueh: It's a long time since you called me that.
huele a traición y es difícil de entender
PRESERIES LOVE TAKE #2. I dont' think I can explain how i SQUEED when this scene happened. They shared like.. nothing, actually, probably only the first three sentence they said were the ones to make me ship them. BUT GOD HAVE I LEARNED TO LOVE THEM. I know some people are appalled by shipping Gaius with anybody, BUT GOD THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. I also kind of like the idea of Gaius never actually being enough, it's weird, I know, never too brave, never too magical, but then, with her, he could have been GREATER. I DONT KNOW. THEY ARE JUST AWESOME. They are also part of another one of my OT3, SO WHATEVER. ♥
gaius/uther
uther: Gaius has served me with unfailing dedication. Without his knowledge, his wisdom, I would not be sitting here today.
and it feels like that you're with me or against me
The merlin/arthur of the pre!series, y/y?. I have no clue when I started shipping them, I just did. The fact that Gaius would go against EVERYTHING HE IS to stay by Uther's side, or little things as Uther ALWAYS turning to Gaius for advice just make me go YEYEY. Actually, I find it very funny that in The Last Dragonlord, when Uther doesn't know what to do, he looks around at his court and instead of asking every single person who seems to serve as advisors for help, he asks Gaius. ♥ PRESERIES LOVE THAT CAN ACTUALLY STILL BE THANK YOU. XD
bonus
morgana/nimueh
and you can bring me to my knees
merlin/morgana + merlin/nimueh = OT3 => nimueh/morgana = AWESOME.
I don't care, not even morgana/morgause can take the place these ladies have won. I *KNOW* they didn't share a scene. I *know* one of them is dead, the other missing and WHATNOT. I DONT CARE. Nimueh/Morgana is my TOP FEMSLASH SHIP FOR THE SERIES: Because, they would have been SO AMAZING. And the merlin/morgana/nimueh relationship so fucked up and intense. ANYWAY, they are not UP there because the other ships have priority, but you get the idea ♥
honourable mentions
leon/morgana, morgana/morgause, uther/igraine ♥, igraine/nimueh ♥, merlin/freya, morgana/mordred
the way that you would tied in
Uther/Igraine & Nimueh/Igraine SHOULD, by all matters, have been in the BONUS section of this picspam. I'm too lazy to change it now to be fair, and I'm going to interpret it as my subconscious telling me I'm still mad at Igraine (which yes, I'll keep writing like that, because I liked it very much like this from the start). As I said, OT3 ♥ We very much know Uther was in love with Igraine, and somehow, I can't bare the thought that Nimueh wouldn't be so. SO. THERE. TWO AWESOME SHIPS THAT I DO REALLY LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART.
The other ones, well, I just love them, they didn't fit anywhere (because, really, they are not my top ships for said characters!) BUT THEY MAKE ME GO SQUEE AND AHH! ♥ AND YES I VERY MUCH ACTUALLY SHIP THEM ALL ♥ ALSO LEON/MORGANA FTW ♥
other
ships that didn't make the cut but I appreciate anyway and... you know, care about because I'm random like that. some weird rare ships in here if you ask me XD some... not so much XD not in any particular order, and yes, I do care about some more than the orders, I'm not THAT WEIRD XD
Sir William/WORLD ♥. (WORLD = merlin or gwen or morgana or sir leon) !!!!!!!!!
Merlin/Will (first love aw!)
Hunith/Gaius (I refuse to accept they are supposed to be related THANK YOU)
Hunith/Balinor ♥
Merlin/Gwen
And I really hope I'm not forgetting ANYBODY. XD OH SHIT DRAGON SHIPS.
DRAGON SHIPS = dragon/uther, dragon/merlin, dragon/nimueh... and a tiny bit of dragon/hunith.
I also do not mind Morgana/Alvarr, Morgana/Aglain, Merlin/Lancelot, Sir Leon/Arthur, Balinor/Gaius AND in a really innocent canon way: Arthur/OBJECTS (OBJECTS = broomstick or Camelot or chicken or sword -Excalibur gets bonus points :D- And really, by all means, I do not ship this in any... fucked up way, just in case you were thinking what you were probably thinking XD) AND Merlin/Magic ♥
i'm not happy without a goodbye?
english
If you made it this far and actually READ all my random explanations, and didn't faint with the content, then, you probably deserve magic cookies from Merlin. As I don't have a Merlin on my own who can provide me with them, you just get virtual hugs ♥ *HUUGS*
Now, whoever feels inspired to write or draw or vid or whatever any of these (and by these, I mean ll but arthur/merlin or arthur/gwen BECAUSE TRULLY I CAN FIND THOSE ON MY OWN!) then, please DO. (DO DO. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING !!).
The blockquote's tittles come from different songs I have associated with such ships over the last year ♥
español
Si han llegado hasta aquí se merecen galletitas mágicas y esas cosas, pero deberán conformarse con abrazitos virtuales *se los achucha* Porque además, el fandom en español ya se banca todos mis disparates y mis locuras normalmente cuando se trata de ships, so, gracias por soportar todo XD ♥
No me quejo si alguien se inspira un poquito y me llena el fandom de más variedad ♥ incluso podemos hacer algún negocio por allí, dependiendo de que se oferte XD.
Los titulos de los bloquecitos explicativos son de diferentes canciones que he asociado con las diferentes parejas o que servían en fragmento para la ship que quería representar en lso casos donde no tenía canción (aka, el pobre Gaius XD!). Perdonen que no escriba todo en español, pero estoy segura que ya saben porque shippeo a todos estos, y si no lo saben, y por alguna extraña razón del mundo quieren saberlo, solo tienen que preguntar :DDD
♥
I'LL SHUT MY MOUTH NOW.
Please, do not edit ♥
Hope you liked it ♥
done, point any remaining typo if you see one :D! thanks!
