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 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.)

I just found this today via linkslinks of metafandom, and while its old, I think, its never been linked here or through the merlin bbc newsletter ( Read more... )

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.

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.
