What? Did Gwaine really say that he wants to wear a dress?

*facepalm* I can't believe that fans ask about Merlin/Arthur and especially Colin/Bradley. Ugh.

gealach_ros February 16 2013, 15:24:03 UTC

Apparently so. He probably has the legs and collar bones to pull off wearing one. :P

I sometimes think that just because 'Merthur' and 'Brolin' are a ~big thing~ on Tumblr some people tend to forget that not everything about fannish shipping of characters (or people) is 'real'.

We're probably well past the time where asking about Arthur/Merlin seems overly weird (esp. after that last ever episode) but that wasn't always the case (I remember earlier conventions where A/M questions were brought up and fandom collectively groaned/facepalmed about it).

Over the past 2-3 years the 4th wall crumbled and mostly vanished and maybe that's not always a super bad thing per se, however asking about Bradley/Colin is just REALLY strange and all kinds of wrong (at least in my book).

Hee hee. Gad, why are we always trying to dress up Merlin in dresses when we should be putting knights in dresses (in fanfic, of course)? :D

*sigh* I guess it's that fourth wall thing, eh? I like the fourth wall. I feel like an old fuddy duddy on the one hand, but on the other, surely the actors want some privacy.

Agreed. Be done asking about Bradley/Colin already.

Oh, Eoin. He's hilarious.

I understand that people ship A/M in a slashy way and while I don't, I accept it.

On the other hand, asking about any romantic relationship between Bradley and Colin is crossing the line. Especially when it is apparent that they are both straight. I have nothing against gay people, but claiming that two people are gay when they are not is not on. There is shipping two actors together for fun (which is weird but fun! I do it too), but I have seen posts of people claiming that they saw Bradley and Colin at restaurants together apparently holding hands etc suggesting that they are in a romantic relationship. That is where I have issues.

Absolutely. Totally. Huge issues!
Just posted my comment, totally agreeing with you!

issy5209 February 17 2013, 22:47:03 UTC

I couldn't agree more,

What's more however, is if this sort of behaviour continues, then the actors, in particular Colin and Bradley themselves may refuse to be a part of any conventions, or q@a's, because they don't want to put up these sort of questions

ella_rose88 February 17 2013, 23:41:51 UTC

Exactly! That is my point ( ... )
