Merlin 2x04 MASSIVE Episode Reaction/Picspam (SPOILERS)

[ifyouweremine]

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 like it when Arthur grabs Merlin and puts him behind himself so he can protect Merlin from whatever dangerous thing is attacking them that week. DON’T JUDGE ME

Arthur mom-arming Merlin (>.> that's what I call it anyway) is probably as hot for me as all the manhandling.

And this cap inspires very dirty thoughts.

Hello! I think I should have done this awhile ago, but I'm adding you as a friend now - I look forward to your recaps and fic so much, and you seem like such an awesome person. You make me laugh and we share many kinks (oh, dear, I'm just shameless), so. ♥ It's selfish, really; now when I read your posts, I'll feel better about not being a total stalker/stranger. :)

That cap does indeed inspire dirty thoughts. JFC THAT BOY HAS THE LOVELIEST MOUTH I HAVE EVER SEEN.

LOL, that's totally what it is! Now you've got me thinking there's an outtake from, like, episode 1x10 (The Moment of Truth) where a horse or something is charging towards Merlin, and Hunith flings out her arm in front of him only to find Arthur yanking him back to safety already, Hunith and Arthur's eyes catch and they share a nod of understanding.

Also, we got Arthur mom-arming Merlin TWICE this episode, w00t! I just love it because it's a way of trying to keep someone safe, so seeing Arthur do that for Merlin so instinctively (to protect someone important to him from being harmed) makes me coo at my screen and clasp my hands together and say, "BRADLEEEEEEY! <333 (Or, alternately, ARTHUUUUUR! Or BLOND APOLLO-LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER! ^___^)" Uh, the manhandling is good for me as well, though, hoyes. #wink wink#

Re: naughty-looking screencap: YES. AND THEN HE DOES THIS:

HIII I want Arthur/Merlin (+ Hunith) mom-arming fic! I'll probably slither over to the kink meme soon to make a request; and I really hope we're not the only two who want it.

ME TOO. Seriously, protective!Merlin is so canon and pretty much Merlin in every single episode, so I just love it when we get to see protective!Arthur for a change.

lololol, omg, it's a sad, sad day when I'm seeing Arthur's invisible peen there. That day is today! Hello! ♥

OI, DID YOU MISS THE CANS OF BEER? DUDE, DUDE, I WANT TO HEAR YOUR WACKY WTF COMMENT ON THIS ASAP.

[ifyouweremine]

WHAT CANS OF BEER? I THINK I GOT DISTRACTED BY COLIN'S CHEEKBONES OR SMTHG AND MISSED IT, TELL MEEEEEEE

See last photo.

HA HA HA SHOW. I LOVE WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR ANACHRONISMS \o/

HOMFGGGGGGG

God, and now I want fic. #facepalm#
Honey, I think you just WROTE fic. I was eating it up, no joke.

But god, if that were fully fleshed out? GUH.

*I would hit this like the hand of an angry god
ILU

your recaps rock. will rec this.

[ifyouweremine]

LOL, I kind of did! A mini-one, anyway. Aw, man, now I sort of want a, like, "Five Times People Were Overprotective of Merlin" fic or something; it would be LOLarious! There's just something about Merlin that makes everyone want to pinch his little cheeks and feed him a sandwich and take him home, amiright?

Also, awww, thanks for the very sweet comment and the rec, BB! #TACKLEGLOMPS# <3333

[sleepy_orange]

I'm going to be shameless and butt in and just pretty much BEG you to write that fic. Cos it would be awesome. There would be some shouting? Maybe some angsting from Arthur? And lots of sex? Sounds like a good combination.

[derryere]

But god, if that were fully fleshed out? GUH.

FSJDKF BAM. I don't even remember how I found it, but THIS IS BASICALLY ALMOST EXACTLY IT. At least re: knights loving on the Merlin. AND TRYING TO PLAY MATCHMAKER BETWEEN HIM AND ARTHUR. And Merlin being oblivious, and Arthur is frustrated, and just all kinds of loveliness.

God I so hope it gets finished soon. THE BEGINNING IS A BIT SLOW, but once you get through that--THE KNIGHTS, MAN. The knights. This fic is just my knights canon now. IT OVERRIDES EVEN MY ARTHURIAN LEGENDS CLASS CANON. S'THAT GOOD.

(HOWEVER, that said, ifyouweremine, if you choose to write this anyway I WILL EAT IT. HARD. Can never have enough of this theme. FANDOM NEEDS MORE KNIGHTS ♥)

[mmestalker]

I think you loved this episode just as much as I did. Btdubs, loves how you analyzed the foreshadowing, very English Major of you <3

[ifyouweremine]

Honestly, I was expecting not to care for the episode because I thought it was going to be all about the love triangle angst, but mostly it was Arthur and Merlin acting like an old married couple, Lancelot and Gwen acting like newlyweds, and Morgana streetfighting in her undies, so, yeah, I was cool with that. ^____~ <333

[shei]

Hahahaha, yes to the R.O.U.S.es. That was my first thought when I saw the Giant Baby Rats.

[ifyouweremine]

I think the Merlin writers signed up for reel_merlin and they're letting it all play out on screen. So far the movies I've noticed them rip off was A Knight's Tale, The Princess Bride, and Mad Max: Thunderdome. What will they do next?? My guess is Ever After, which would explain why (SMALL SPOILER for the season 2 promo that aired after episode 2x01! Highlight to see) Merlin was holding up Morgana's dress against himself in that promo, LOL! (END SPOILER)

[shei]

I think that would pretty much make my life.

[ifyouweremine]

I'M NOW EXPERIENCING AN OVERWHELMING NEED TO SEE MERLIN WITH SPARKLY EYE-MAKEUP AND BUTTERFLY WINGS, LMAOOOO <333
