So, my heart is really breaking. Tonight will be the last ever episode of Merlin, it's weird but Merlin has actually been a HUGE part of my life since 1x01 in 2008, and i don't mean in just fandom terms (though Merlin/Arthur really were one of my truest OTPs) but just generally my life. In 2008, i was a TOTALLY different person to who i am today in every respect, physical, mental and emotional. And, i dunno, Merlin has always been there while i changed, and the years passed. And that's kinda important to me.
But enough mopey nostalgia shit, on with my real-time review to the Merlin season 5 finale!
(Which i have posted on the merlinxarthur comm, and i am happy for anyone to comment or debate on anything i write here, in fact, i welcome it! I miss having Merlin-related squee/chat.)
Ooooooooooooh my god, i'm not ready for this.
IN A LAND OF MYTH, AND A TIME OF MAGIC, THE DESTINY OF A GREAT KINGDOM, RESTS ON THE SHOULDERS OF A GREAT MAN, HIS NAME........ MEEEEEEEEEEERLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN!
I hated Merlin's scream of anguish, it was too emotional for me, like it was him shouting about the past so many years of hiding and fighting.
RIDE EMRYS RIDEEEE
Bitch, that's cheating.
Badass!Gwen! Awesome! Still in a skirt too
omg
omg
OMG
he's so powerful omg
aw arthur, you know who it is, don't you? you just know
Aw Gaius, you're so right. Merlin never gets any thanks.
oh god no, Mordred.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEDRTKL;HUIYFTDRSERTYGUHIJKLHFTYRETYUIJHUGYFTDRERTYHUJHGYFTDRH
I can#t breathe
omfg
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo arthur noooo you're too beautiful
aw gwen what a leader you've become.
save Arthur Merlin, save him. Your husband is dying! Or dead!
wow, epic battlefield shot.
HE'S BACK! tHNK GOD.
aw they're so in love. aw don't cry baby, don't cry. oh god look at the way he's holding arthur's hand. oh god. love.
no arthur, don't do this, he loves you, don't turn him away.
Gaius? Omg no! PLEASE GOD DON'T SAY HE'S DEAD.
Oh thank god.
Aw Arthur, poor baby.
"Merlin!?" lol, Arthur even now can't believe how amazing Merlin is. XD
God even Gaius knows how much Arthur and Merlin are meant to be. Aw Gaius, doing his best to get the boys together forever.
Omg, Merlin's emotions are plain on his face, so much love and devotion for his King. Aw baby, he's so broken up about telling Arthur, god it's like every angst h/c fanfic come true, gah.
Holy shit Morgana. Girl gone mad. Madder than normal.
God does this mean Arthur will definitley be dead by the end of this episode, the whole episode i'm gonna have to watch him slowly and painfully die, not sure i can handle that.... ;___;
"Look after him" - Look after your husband baby.
Damn Gwaine looks hot there. Oh what a shame.
omg Arthur's finally seeing Merlin's power and strength. Finally. And it's kinda hot. I like dark!Merlin.
Oh god, seriously am i the only one that sees them as two husbands? The way Merlin cares for Arthur, does tiny things like taking off his boots, the way Arthur looks at him, the way they talk to each other, they're so freakin' married, it can't just be me right?
"It's my destiny. As it has been since the day we met."
"Friend", uh-huh, yeah that's one word for it honey.
I love Gwen and Gaius equally acknowleding Merlin's love for Arthur.
Am i talking too much about Merlin/Arthur? Probably. Sorry 'bout that.
I'm totally going as 5x13 Morgana for Halloween next year, no jokes.
Oh no boys, don't ride to your deaths, i'm gonna start crying my eyes out soon, i can sense it.
God this really is like every fanfic i've read. I love it. Weldone writers, weldone.
Eye!sex.
"I was born to serve you Arthur" - IN THE BEDROOM. Sorry.
Boys. Boys. No. They're okay right. Gwaine? Percy?
FLIRTING. And i totally just shouted that out loud.
No Gwaine, no no no
I love this, watching Merlin do magic infront of Arthur, this should be everything from now on. Merlin casually doing magic and Arthur being all in awe and love. Oh fanfics, i may need you dearly after all this.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO r.i.p gwaine
YOU'RE SO MARRIED. omg the way he's cupping his cheek, he even stroked him. i can't. i need a love like theirs. I need someone to love me like they love each other, i really do.
NO NO NO NO NO
he did it. he finally killed morgana. it's the end. yeah he did, he brought peace, Merlin saved us all.
"Just hold me, please." *incoherent high-pitched scream*
Crying.
Definitley crying now. It's raining on my face.
"Thank you."
;___________;
