Sorry I’m late for this, I had a birthday party to go to yesterday and I was too tired to watch the episode when I got back. But I’ve watched it now, and I have a lot to say! No, really. A lot.

I truly believe this was their reaction when they learned this was a het episode.

YES YES THIS WAS MY REACTION AS WELL. I just can't bring myself to buy this Sudden Epic Romance between Arthur and Gwen. It's about as believable as a Wild Gay Passion emerging betwixt Merlin and King Giles, frankly.

I think the writers were, like, "HOSHIT, WE FORGOT TO PUT THE ARTHUR/GWEN IN! TIME TO PLAY CATCH-UP. #clumsily sews het onto this little gay show like Dr. Frankenstein, creating something which never should have been ( ... )

(or maybe Johnny just wanted to shove all the het into certain episodes instead of drawing it out so they could focus on teh gay in the other eps??).

OH YES THIS IS WHAT I AM BETTING ON. BRING ON TEH GAY BITCHES.

THE MERLIN FANDOM IS ALL LUBED-UP AND READY TO GET ITS GAY ON. WHERE IS OUR BFF HOMOEROTICISM, BBC?? WE'VE BEEN PATIENT, AND THE TIME FOR FABULOSITY IS HERE! ^___^ <33333

OH GOD so I feel like there are Important Things to say about this episode, but really. THEY ARE ALL SO PRETTY. Call me shallow IDEC. First of all, Morgana in her underthings swinging a sword and running while her luscious breasts bounce all over the damn place in the first 10 minutes. AWESOME. And Gwen? SO VERY LOVELY. AND HER BOOBS, TOO.

And Merlin's little face. HOW IS HE SO PRETTY? I just want to squish him sometimes. AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE ARTHUR. Or Pouty McPoutface, who manages to be hot doing just about everything. Even Lancelot, who is not my favorite, was looking pretty good.

So yeah, lots of intelligent commentary floating about but I'll leave that to the smart people and just stick with my conclusion: PRETTY.

ifyouweremine October 12 2009, 02:55:53 UTC

IDEK what serious stuff has been discussed for this episode because I haven't read any episode reactions yet, all I know is that I'M WITH YOU ON THE PRETTINESS, BB!!! LOL, about 99% of this post was me going, "Morgana stripping! Gwen's bodacious boobs! Wet!Merlin! Dildo! Gorgeous snarky Arthur! Smiling Lancelot! Prison bitch! Bondage! <333 ( ... )

I said this in a post recently - I love Merlin so much, and I want nothing more than for him to be happy all the time, but OMFG DOES HE LOOK GOOD WHEN HE IS SAD/SCARED/EMO/ANGSTING. Seriously, his face was made for that shit.

ALSO I MAY HAVE A WET!MERLIN KINK THAT DEVELOPED BACK IN S1.

I can't wait to hear what you have to say, bb <3

ifyouweremine October 12 2009, 20:48:27 UTC

IT'S TRUE, MERLIN'S WOOBIEFACES ARE THE BEST! In one of the comments below, whilst (still) laughing about Bradley's manpain!face, I speculated that Bradley just doesn't have the bone structure to carry off prolonged angst. I DON'T WANT TO SEE FISHFROWNS ON BRADLEY'S GOLDEN APOLLO FACE, THEY LOOK SILLY. Colin's wee little face carries OMGANGST and OMGHAPPINESS well, though.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH A WET!MERLIN KINK. HE'S GOT TO GET ALL THAT COME OFF HIM SOMEHOW, AFTER ALL. LOLOL, THIS IS WHAT FANDOM'S ALL ABOUT, MAKING KINKS WORK TOGETHER! THIS WAY WE SATISFY THE NEED TO GET MERLIN'S THIGHS ALL STICKY-SMEARED WITH SPUNK AND THE NEED TO WASH HIM OFF AFTER, BEADS OF WATER TRICKLING WARM AND CLEAR FROM HIS THROAT DOWN TO THAT TENDER LITTLE HOLLOW AT HIS COLLARBONE THAT ARTHUR CAN'T HELP BUT LICK ( ... )

I laughed at Arthur's manpain face, laughed and laughed and laughed.

I also laughed at this: Merlin: #wide-eyed doe look of sad and bewildered terror#

Out loud. For a few minutes.

ifyouweremine October 12 2009, 03:07:40 UTC

I laughed at Arthur's manpain face, laughed and laughed and laughed.
I have to wonder HOW THAT FACE EVEN HAPPENED, LOLLL OMG! Was Bradley, like, "Oh, you want manpain? I'LL GIVE YOU MANPAIN. #fishface of angst#"

Or did Colin threaten to stop kissing him if he didn't stop using beef-jerky-flavored toothpaste (you know Bradley got it just to piss Colin off, except then Bradley realized that it tasted quite good, actually), so Bradley was really sad and wooby when they filmed that and he used his inner turmoil for his performance?

I also laughed at this: Merlin: #wide-eyed doe look of sad and bewildered terror#
WELL THAT'S WHAT MERLIN IS: A STUPID LITTLE DOE WOBBLING AROUND IN THE FOREST AND GETTING INTO TROUBLE. I bet if Merlin ever watched Bambi, he would cry and cry and identify with him on a ~*~personal level~*~, and Arthur would be, like, "OMFG, IT'S A CARTOON DEER" and Merlin would hiccup (because of course he'd be drunk on two glasses of wine) and say, "You just don't understand Bambi like I do!"

kick_flaw October 13 2009, 01:52:10 UTC

MY FACE HURTS FROM LAUGHING

(And then Arthur would buy Merlin some stupid Bambi paraphernalia expecting Merlin to laugh and brush it off, except Merlin would be all touched and give Arthur a thorough blow job, preferably in his new Bambi socks, or what.)

I cherish you. :D :D :D :D :D

when you saw Arthur’s manpain face

I lol'ed - mom was confused. All I could think was, "Future icon of much lolz."

At first I wondered why Merlin was carrying around a gigantic dildo

THANK GOD MY BRAIN ISN'T THE ONLY FUCKED UP BRAIN ON THE INTERNETS.

It seems like there were quite a few, "Let's give the slashers something," moments in this ep. ... Yeah, more than usual.

THAT'S BECAUSE BRADLEY'S FACE IS NOT MADE TO HANDLE ALL THAT EMO SILLINESS, ONLY SUNSHINE AND HAPPINESS AND GLITTER!! AND CRAZY EYES OF HILARITY.

At first I wondered why Merlin was carrying around a gigantic dildo...THANK GOD MY BRAIN ISN'T THE ONLY FUCKED UP BRAIN ON THE INTERNETS.
OUR VERSION OF THE WORLD IS MORE FUN ^___~

I think the writers either felt guilty for pushing so much het at us or they forgot they were supposed to be writing Arthur as if he weren't madly in love with Merlin. Hence, we get snark and boytouching and face-rubbing and face-splashing and the boys dressing up like gay bandits. The slashers win again!!

bewarethesmirk October 12 2009, 02:13:14 UTC

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DIED LAUGHING.

And I also thought, "Why is Merlin carrying a dildo?" in reference to Arthur's phallic crossbow.

ifyouweremine October 12 2009, 03:34:22 UTC

MERLIN, DON'T BE SILLY, YOU NEED TO WORK UP TO A DILDO THAT SIZE, DO YOU KNOW NOTHING??? WE APPRECIATE YOUR ENTHUSIASM, BUT SAFETY COMES FIRST. THIS IS NOT AN INJURY YOU WANT TO GO TO GAUIS FOR, BB.

IN OTHER NEWS, I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON, LMAOOOO <3333

bewarethesmirk October 12 2009, 03:57:25 UTC

More like a wonderful person. ;-)

I'm sure you could devise some PWP in which Arthur makes Merlin works his way up to some huge dildo. *innocent*

ifyouweremine October 12 2009, 20:57:45 UTC

LOLOL, you are a naughty little minx! I HAPPEN TO HIGHLY VALUE THAT PARTICULAR QUALITY IN PEOPLE, HAAAAA #SMISHES# <33333

Arthur also highly values things in Merlin, if you know what I mean. And I think that you do. #wink wink, nudge nudge# ^_____~
