i call bbc merlin a comfort show as if it weren't frustrating and traumatizing on like ten different levels, didn't kill off almost every single character, and didn't have the most disappointing, devastating, unforgivable series finale i've ever seen.
Are these not the same

this post & merthur
#you know it really does fit merthur#like its well said how tragic merlin as a whole is because a lot of decisions he made ultimately led to arthur dying#despite his intention that they have the opposite effect#and its so easy to look at choices merlin made that had a more direct effect on arthurs fate and be like. i wouldnt have done that#HONESTLY ive said that a couple times. but like#just like the post says. yeah you would. every choice he made was fueled by how much he cared for and believed in arthur#thats the whole point etc etc#its like i can feel this post carving itself into my brain#bbc merlin#merthur#5.13

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?
It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!
because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.
Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.
let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done
