only for you

I love these few seconds of Merlin: the exchange of cold stares with Mordred, his resentment toward Arthur for not listening to him, and—fantastic!—the way he just wants to kill the man who dared to strike his King! #merlinbbc

Please, look at Merlin’s face the moment he catches sight of Mordred... He turns ashen, frozen—as if he has slipped once again into the vision that has been upsetting him for days. From now on, he will never be the same. Nothing will ever be the same #merlinbbc

Ah, that natural death wish that characterizes Merthur! Whenever it comes to protecting one another—a trait that has yet to grow tiresome ( like anything else about the two of them, actually) One of the reasons we love them so much #merlinbbc

Two things two: - Merlin is the most powerful sorcerer on Earth, but his brain goes haywire when he’s hungry - Arthur is the most powerful warrior in Albion, but he ends up trapped because he can’t bear the thought of not protect his servant 😅 #merlinbbc

I don’t know why I find this moment so fascinating. Arthur’s gesture is appropriate—Merlin isn’t very good at staying quiet—but it’s longer, as if it were normal; in some way, it becomes intimate (as is often the case with their physical contact) #merlinbbc

Merlin and Arthur did not know everything about each other, and yet they knew one another. They did not need to know, because together they are one #merlinbbc

The contrast between Arthur, who just wants to rest, and Merlin, who desperately wants to warn him of the danger. The urgent need to speak. The final promise to protect him with his very being—a promise that will become his obsession... #merlinbbc

In Season 5, Merlin— Emrys, now—is, partly driven by his visions, much more possessive when it comes to Arthur. Phrases like "I worry about you" and "I will protect you" come to his lips more easily, strong in his significance of his role in Arthur’s life #merlinbbc

- the softness with which Arthur calls "Merlin" - their mutual concern - the intense gazes that speak volumes, worth a thousand unspoken words - the haunting music Everything is PERFECT (I read once that in the script, Arthur says "Merlin, it's cold here") #merlinbbc

This scene always makes me think of "Secrets" by OneRepublic, because Merlin is so tired—weighed down by the burden of everything he has to keep hidden. "I'm sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away"... #merlinbbc

Annis is smart, she remembers that Merlin is a "fool"—but, obviously, she realized that he is "Arthur's fool." Indeed, Merlin does not deny it, and neither does Arthur; with nothing more than a dazzling smile from the King, Merlin becomes a "fool" as well #merlinbbc

"Now, more than ever, it is you and you alone that can keep Arthur safe". I understand the dragon’s good intentions, but these words just mess with Merlin’s head even more He’s already quite panicked... #merlinbbc

This scene is crazy because you can clearly see the no return point: when Arthur’s voice pulls him out of the vision, a thousand emotions cross Merlin’s face, and you know that nothing will ever be the same again Colin's acting is exceptional #merlinbbc

Honestly, these lines by Arthur in Season 5 make no sense. By now, we all know that for Arthur there is no difference between Merlin and the Knights, and that he certainly notices when Merlin disappears. Why have him say such stupi things again? #merlinbbc

The mere mention of Morgana’s name is enough: Merlin’s face hardens, and from his expression, you can already tell that something terrible is brewing. The tragedy of Season 5 is palpable from the very opening #merlinbbc

I would have preferred it if Gwen hadn't shown up, just to see how that bickering would have ended 😂. Merlin had dropped a bit of a bombshell there, but we'll never know what Arthur would have done. What a shame 😅 #merlinbbc

This scene is beautiful on multiple levels (look at the moment their hands meet! Pure aesthetic), but they really should have shown us Arthur giving his "too girly" jacket to Merlin #merlinbbc

Arthur and Merlin feel guilty, the King certainly forgives Gwen here. And yet, for anyone familiar with the series finale, It's the parallel with Arthur's death that hits more than everything... #holdme #merlinbbc

We deserved to know so much more about the beautiful Isolde, about her life with Tristan, her dreams, and her courage... #merlinbbc

Right in the middle of such a tense, dramatic scene, seeing Merlin’s smug little smile— since he’s the one who blocked Morgana’s magic- Is priceless. But also the pain-filled gaze with which Arthur looks at Morgana—the lost sister who was never truly his sister... #merlinbbc
