Alexander Vlahos

I promise you I am still a Colin fangirl, but goddamnit, I need to squee about Mordred. There has been plenty of squee about Merlin and Arthur on my flist, but not enough about Mordred to suit my needs. Here, go watch this video and then come back and tell me that

Damn, Alex is so frickin cute!! He can't come close to Colin for magnetizing fascination (I only know of one other actor who has ever caught my attention that way) but he is absolutely charming and adorable :D

I think you aren't hearing much squee yet because he was onscreen for so little time. Just wait, it will be coming, you are just the leading edge!

[jelazakazone]

I know, right? Definitely, he doesn't match Colin, yet. But I think he will be giving Colin a run for the money. I can't wait to see more interactions between him and Bradley too onscreen.

Who was the other actor to catch your attention that way?

LOL. I'm on the leading edge. I have to admit that the fact that "normal" people seem to falling all over Colin makes him slightly less attractive to me now. I mean, he's gorgeous all filled out, but also looks a lot more "mainstream gorgeous" and that doesn't appeal to me nearly as much.

Alex is definitely charming and adorable though. Squeeee:D

Oh, I think a lot of people are not excited about him because they are nervous about Mordred and TPTB and what is going to happen with Arthur. Eh, I don't care. Arthur dies in the legends at Mordred's hands. I know/expect this. It's how they get there that I'm interested/invested in.

Ah, the only other actor I've ever lost my heart to is David Tennant.

Much as it pains me to admit, I actually prefer Colin a bit skinnier than he's looking in S5. I like my men tall and lean! S4 he was just about perfect. Shh! Don't tell anyone I said it cuz I'll only deny it *looks shifty* It's one of the reasons I really liked that Radio Times shoot, he looked skinny again. Still, for me, Colin has always been TP so it's more than just his looks that captivate me

[jelazakazone]

:) I know a lot of DT fans. You are not alone.

S3 was good for me for Colin/leanness, but S4 was all right too. But you are right, Colin is TP and it's not just about the looks. That's how I am with everyone.

Ok, I wish you'd read Mordred's Blood even though I do kill off Arthur in the end because it's just brutal. I don't think I put the story together in a totally skillful way and it probably needs some editing, but I really like the ideas in it. It's canon era, but definitely AU. Where is the fic that you liked?

[dunderklumpen]

That's the main question I had as well when he appeared. He knows about Merlin's secret identity. The question is: Will he use it at one point to make Merlin's life absolutely miserable? Or does he honour the fact that Merlin was one of the two who saved his life once...
Nevertheless he will always be a dark shadow over Merlin's life from now on.

[jelazakazone]

It is an interesting question, eh? I think it's going to bring out some fascinating fic in the meantime.

Oh, speaking of fic, want to give me a little prompt and I'll whip something out for your birthday? ♥

[obliqueo]

YAY I can watch the video! I've clicked it on another site so many times but it didn't play. Now it streams itself lol

He kept slipped of tongue in Colin/Merlin, so adorable. They did have a lovely time in filming. I can see a new trio trend is forming *wink wink*

[jelazakazone]

YAY! So glad it worked for you. Isn't he ADORABLE?

Heh. Trio in my mind, perhaps. I am undecided about how things will play out. The man just has chemistry!

[dunderklumpen]

I get a birthday drabble? Cool!

Would love some Merlin/Arthur but take also friendship. AU, H/C or just a fluffy moment between the boys is fine. I really need a happy end.

Oh... and I'm a little confused about Mordred's timeline because there's 3 years between season 4 and 5 but how many years were between Mordred's first episode and season 5. Surely not 8. Because he wasn't older than 10 when he first appeared. I would guess younger so...

[jelazakazone]

Yep. I would love to write you a birthday drabble:D Happy endings are my specialty!

It might be 8 years since Mordred's appearance. I was trying to figure that out yesterday and lost count. Doesn't he appear in S1? There was a year between 1 and 2. I think another year between 2 and 3. 2 (or 3) years between 3 and 4 and now another 3 years. That easily gets us to eight years.

ETA: could I do something with Mordred in it too, assuming a happy ending? I'm kind of taken with him at the moment.

[millionstar]

The fact that I am so damn taken with Alexander after, what, maybe 60 seconds screen time speaks volumes. I've told you on my own LJ that I have rewound that last scene loads of times simply to see him shoot Colin that little smirk again and again. Blew me away. I am stupidly excited. Stupidly.

And yes, dammit there SHOULD be more AV love, I was gonna do this myself but I am glad you did. ;)

*needs a Mordred icon* *goes to search*

[jelazakazone]

I KNOW IT! I can't believe how taken I am with him. I was actually taken with him from some stills I saw from PF filming.

He is really intense and just *fans self*. He is definitely up to Colin and Bradley and watching them interact is just going to be AWESOME.

No no! Don't let me stop you. We need more AV love. Go for it!

Feel free to take the one I'm using here. gealach_ros made it for me, but it was my crop she used (because I made a really crappy Mordred icon and she made me one based on that one:)).

[jelazakazone]

OK! It's not just me, thinking he looks like Andrew McCarthy! Sometimes you scare me, in how much we have the same thoughts. Come back to Merlin. *clings*

Soooo shippable. Right?

[jelazakazone]

*jumps up and down* Yay! *drags you in, or is that under* Come back!

LOL. We are not crazy! We are brilliiant:D

I read ridiculous as delicious. Mmmm, delicious:D Soooo shippable:D
