I would do anything for fandom, but I won't do that.

I'm not sure what the "that" is, but I just felt like quoting Meatloaf because, really, is there a bad time to quote Meatloaf?

Anyway, I was bored this morning and I'm still super cranky over the lack of quest (WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK, BEEB), so I decided that instead of cleaning my room, I was going to transcribe the best bits of just uploaded

Ugh, do not EVEN get me started on how much I hate the Arthur/Gwen relationship. I mean, you've probably read all my teeth-gnashing and hair-pulling, so I'll spare you a reprise. But basically what it boils down to is, like, they're fine an cute so long as they keep it light and flirty. Arthur and Gwen are excellent in the teenaged awkward I-like-you-but-goddamit-I-am-socially-inept place. And if this as Camelot High and all this stuff wasn't for realsies with real consequences, I'd be like WHATEVER, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO THINK IT'S TRUE LOVE FOREVER AND GET MARRIED OR SOMETHING, except, oh wait.

I continue to hold on to my belief that this is all a secret giant gay romcom, and Merlin is the plucky protagonist and Arthur is The One He Wished He Could Ignore and Gwen's the frustratingly adorable red herring that causes our hero(ine) to pine sadly to emotionally manipulative acoustic jazz, which is what I've decided this season is, and then the next two seasons will be the last ten minutes where Arthur and Merlin realize they are MEANT TO BE! And then at their wedding Lancelot and Gwen's eyes meet.

I MEAN COME ON IT IS SO FEASIBLE.

I LIKE YOUR VERSION.

I find that I really like it when Arthur and Gwen are just talking/teasing each other -- I think there's a nice, low-key warmth there (hahaha, which I think is the other side of the 'no chemistry' coin) -- but all the Epic Love stuff grates. I kind of feel like Gwen is too sensible for that crap, and Arthur is too emotionally immature, and basically I wish he was still tugging on Morgana's figurative pigtails instead, SISTER OR NOT! Or, you know, Merlin's. Whyyyyy does he keep throwing things at Merlin? WHY CAN'T THEY BE BROMANTIC ANYMORE?

[chibirhm]

Exactly! I've always felt that Gwen and Arthur would make for an excellent marriage of convenience and good co-rulers, but they have NOTHING IN COMMON and I see no way they could actually work as a romantic couple. A platonic, warm, caring couple, yes. But romance? Quoi?

I just take refuge in the fact that a)half the time Merlin is deliberately provoking Arthur into throwing something at him to ~express his feelings~ and b) Bradley doesn't seem too fond of it either.

TRUTH.

Basically, has season three done anything good for anyone??

Except Gwaine, and all those who have gotten to share screentime with his magnificent hair.

[chibirhm]

IT REALLY HAS NOT. But the last three episodes sound exciting, and unless someone tells me otherwise, I firmly believe that Bradley and Colin will finally choose this week to MAKE OUT LIKE MADMEN.

[dollsome]

DO IT, DUDES.

[chibirhm]

I MEAN IT'S NOT LIKE BRADLEY DOESN'T SHIP MERLIN/ARTHUR LIKE CRAZY ANYWAY.
