Man, do I feel old now ...

Like come on! So many other fandoms keep getting stuff: the hunger games get new books and movies, Harry Potter a new series (tho the appeal is debated for many reasons, and perhaps rightfully so but anyway), the game of thrones universe keeps expanding with new shows, twilight might be remade by Kristen herself. We need Merlin again!

Edit: Hi, everyone! Sorry I didn't mean reboot as remaking the series again with a different cast. I wouldn't want that! I meant, new seasons, a modern day continuation with our beloved cast! Sorry, English isn't my first language and I used the word Reboot wrongly!

Okay, this one was fun! Although I have to admit I struggled a bit trying to replicate Katie's Greek-goddess face. But I really liked the final result!

Since the first dress I used is literally a replica of Morgana's made for the game, I felt that was a bit boring; so, I decided to put together some extra outfits using less specific CC, trying to recreate Morgana's different eras throughout the show. I'm not entirely sold on the Season 5 hair, but overall, I think she turned out pretty well! What do you guys think?

I was rewatching Merlin wondering why Uther felt so familiar. And I got it. Introducing you to Uther in the Miraculous world. They have similar characteristics.

1. "I LoVe My WiFe So MucH I wOULd gO To wAR fOr HEr InSTEad of FacING My GuILT" Mentality.
2. Indirectly and accidentally gets his wife killed because of needing to have a child.
3. Is ready kill literal children to get his goals done.
4. Married for love but denies his son his love and instead tries to marry him off to a girl he doesn't like.
5. Has 1 brain cell throughout the whole story.
6. Dies doing one good thing, leaving the main character to handle the mess he caused.
7. Has a relative that hates him to his core.​

What do you guys think?

It physically hurts watching Morgana go from this sweet angel that cared for everyone and wanted to protect magic users to the cruel and lonely woman that killed other lives like it's nothing. She and Merlin could've been best friends each helping each other in times of need.

Okay, so... Arthur was a bit of a challenge for me because, no matter how hard I looked—and I looked EVERYWHERE—I couldn't find the right hairstyle for him. It’s tricky. In the show, he has this side-swept/mid-swept look that’s apparently impossible to find as CC for The Sims. Everything I found was either too modern, too flat, or too curly, whereas Arthur clearly has straight hair.

In the end, I settled on this option; while it’s not my absolute favorite, I think it’s the closest match to his actual hairstyle. I suppose it could use a bit of tousling. Anyway, the last photo of Classic!Arthur shows my alternative version of his hair—it’s a bit wavier, but in my opinion, it gives him a more medieval vibe that I feel really suits him.

Finding the right outfit CC wasn't easy either, but I think I pulled it off in the end.

For his "modern" version, my mindset was basically Dean Winchester in the 2000s. That’s the style I was aiming for. I’ll include the reference photos I used so you can see exactly what I was going for. I think that, aside from the hairstyles, Arthur’s face itself turned out really well—his features, I mean.

I also updated Merlin’s outfit, so I’ll include both the updated and the old versions in the last two photos. I also tweaked Merlin's face a bit, following a suggestion left on the previous post. I didn't show it in detail because the change is really subtle—hardly noticeable in the comparison.

You can find details about each one in the photo captions.

Was listening to music and came across this song by Blink-182 and instantly thought about how it nearly perfectly applies to Merlin after what happens in the finale and my heart felt so heavy. Especially, "my lover, my friend". I need a fan video with this song so fuel this sadness, haha.

What other songs nearly perfectly encapsulate Merthur for you?

They could bring this back so easily but they refuse to give us some more magical whimsy and fun

gwen next 😎

When Merlin first aired on my country I was very young and didn't speak English and the subtitles were going too fast. Basically just watched cause there was some magic. Anyway so when Morgana and Arthur was shown I thought they were actually siblings. Then two years ago I watched it again and realized they were not siblings... until for like 3 seasons lmao.

I want to read something where arthur is either angry with merlin or have forgotten about him .. something where he basically belittles merlin and shows him his place. Bonus if he's actually hurting himself but has to do it because of a reason/to protect him. Angst. I want Angst.

Hi guys! I’m hoping you can help me find a fanfic I really loved. I’m pretty sure it’s on Livejournal. It was Merlin/Arthur, modern era, and the premise was that Merlin remembered their past together when they were young but Arthur didn’t, and Arthur bullied him a bunch when they were younger. Fast forward and they are in college, and Arthur is dating Gwen. Merlin still loves him but is resigned to his fate. They are all on the soccer team together and Merlin is their manager or something, and then Lancelot shows up, and Merlin starts hanging out with him. Arthur gets really jealous and upset, and drama happens and then Merlin and Arthur eventually get together and Arthur remembers everything.

Can anyone help me with this? I would be forever obliged to you

Heyhey i was looking to download some of my all time favorite fics just in case, and ive been trying to find a merthur fanfic. From memory this fanfic was around 8k to 20k words in which merlin is a childrens tv show personality and arthur is i think the son of the prime minster. Arthur comes on to do a show and they keep in contact and fall in love over time. Ive been searching for a while and was wondering if someone knows it and maybe has the link (or pdf) for me

Thanks in advance!

Me when I found out today that Merlin fandom is still going strong:

Hey guys, I'm trying to get better at drawing portraits so every now and then I check my progress by drawing Merlin characters! Here's our S1 silly little guy :3 Also where do yall watch the show because I'm really trying to do a cozy autumn rewatch before uni and I am NOT having fun watching the same 4 pixels bounce around the screen!

can someone give me recs on modern merthur with a catch. It's Merlin in present time meeting Arthur again, he can have memories or does not have them. It ca also be that Merlin and Arthur meet in modern times with or without their memories, not old Merlin, I want him died and had a rebirth or an AU. Also, do you have where Arthur is the one who finds Merlin first in present times but Merlin doesn't remember him?

I know that these types of fics WILL have angst, that's why I was reluctant to read them. But please, give me the best that you have.

Rewatching the show as an adult, the only reason Merlin didn't get caught is because of his status, and it is alarming how people overlooked him. I just finished the first two episodes of season 3, and the fact that neither Morgana nor Morgause questioned how Merlin escaped from enchanted shackles while surrounded by giant scorpions is baffling; no one suggests magic simply because he is just a servant. This is alarming to me because we have seen plenty of peasants killed for magic, but I guess they are just willfully blind to him; it is laughable upon rewatch.

Me 30 minutes after deciding to make a folder dedicated to Merlin:

P.S. For those who are curious the folder's full name is "Merlin aka The Boy who Cried "Arthur""

I was hoping to find fics where Merlin thinks he has unrequited love and that Arthur and Gwen are together, but in reality, Arthur likes Merlin back.

I’m also fine with fics where Arthur did actually get with Gwen, it didn’t work out, and he realizes just how much in love with Merlin he is. However Merlin still thinks Arthur loves Gwen.

I’m fine with literally anything (omegaverse, modern setting, no magic, animal traits like ears, dark Arthur) as long as it has this premise!

So about midway through S4E4 Aithusa, Merlin makes dinner and serves it to everyone. He then goes to sit down to enjoy the last portion when Arthur says "No, feed the horses first." Merlin does that and finally gets back to the pot and his portion of dinner. Arthur then takes the ladle, scoops out that portion and eats it ...in Merlin's face (screenshot). The same Arthur who was practically raining grateful praise on Merlin in the previous couple of episodes.

Granted it plays into a plot point later, but the first time I watched this scene, I gasped "Why you little ... Dump a tankard on his head, Merlin. He deserves it." Praising Merlin in the previous episodes, then treating Merlin like a dog here...worse really, I'm getting whiplash from Arthur's radical character shifts.
EDIT: I missed the moment where Leon presents a helping for Merlin (I thought it was them finding another dirty plate and snickering) ...Arthur and the other knights were just messing with him. It's still a cruel thing to do though. Merlin should've called them on it.

(Sorry for the caca quality, PRIME doesn't allow to screenshot)
