So I wrote a short picspam meta/comparison thing, comparing some dialogue between Lancelot and Gwen, and Arthur and Merlin. Has slashy overtones and pretty pictures. Basically me trying to show how Arthur/Merlin is like Lancelot/Gwen... or something. XD

It's over here at my LJ.

I'm pretty excited to find this LJ.  I've been looking for an LJ where I can post my thoughts and discussions are open to a variety of topics in relation to Merlin.  So thanks for existing.  This is essentially my first post, I hope not the last.

Okay so this is my thoughts on the characterization of Morgana and Guin and their relationship in S3 ( Read more... )

I don't know if you know Verbotene Liebe (a German soap), but there are these two characters named Christian and Olli...

and they look EXACTLY like Arthur and Merlin. No joke.

Photographic evidence here.

(Mods, please delete this if not allowed.)

Some meta expanding on the idea that in Merlin magical means gay. It's Arthur/Merlin and Merlin/Morgana friendly, with medieval sodomy, hot fairies and some femslash thrown in. Fake cut this way:

Magic as a Metaphor for Homosexuality

Hi, I come bearing meta.

I ramble about my view of Arthur, his characterisation, his relationship with Merlin, etc. on my LJ. Feel free to come tell me how wrong I am!

Hello, I posted some meta on archetypes in the show and Arthurian legends in general.

Contains spoilers for the whole series and slash/femslash overtones.

Having Fun By Picking Things Apart: Archetypes In Merlin

I've only seen five eps so far, but in nearly every scene between Uther and Arthur, I keep holding my breath waiting for the moment when they say or do something that completely shatters their relationship ( Read more... )

One of the comments the producers made in the commentary for ep 1 got me wondering Arthur's opinion of Merlin is, as of ep 11.
