honestly living in camelot is not that great like you guys love to romanticize it but as someone who lives here it low key sucks. the public transit system is so bad bc trains and buses dont exist yet and the rent is crazy high. “oh but the culture” what culture? the tournament scene? watching some random relative of gawain get unseated by some random relative of lancelot every three weeks is not culture its barely entertainment. and dont get me started on the tourists

#vent #personal #no hate im just so sick of squires posting about going to camelot and making their fortune #not gonna happen and dont move here #ur driving up cost of living 🙄

Hey gang I've moved back after like 2 or 3 years of trying to enjoy using my sideblog as a main blog. The last straw was not getting to display my stupid boop badges on there. Here's some merlin brainrot dump bc I'm not finished with anything rn

Merlin overhears a bunch of nobles talking about how much he really gets away with, so he slowly pushes the boundaries.

Merlin, sitting patiently beside Arthur in a council meeting: My foot is injured, my lord.

Merlin, walking down the hallway, blatantly eating Arthur's food: I am testing the king's food for poison, my lord.

Merlin, wearing Arthur's crown: I am trying to see whether it needs to be resized, my lord.

Merlin, sitting on the throne: I am trying to see if the king would benefit from a cushion, my lord.

I wish to make brief mention of an acquaintance which was made in private between the moon and the sun. Do you know of whom I mean to speak? He who was lord of the knights, and who was renowned above them all, ought surely to be called the sun. I refer, of course, to my lord Gawain, for chivalry is enhanced by him just as when the morning sun sheds its rays abroad and lights all places where it shines. And I call her the moon, who cannot be otherwise because of her sense and courtesy. However, I call her so not only because of her good repute, but because her name is, in fact, Lunete. Yvain, or the Knight of the Lion | Chrétien de Troyes

for some reason this little friendship/flirtation has always stuck in my mind and I've wanted to draw something for it for ages. i just like the idea of Gawain having lots of gal pals haha

i wanna watch merlin from arthur's perspective. just imagine your servant/best friend who you're like 90% sure is a complete idiot and yet is constantly saving your life or making miraculous get aways and sometimes he says really strange cryptic things that are actually kind of wise? and he's always just...there when shit's going down even though he never really does anything as far as you know.

"Oh no."

Merlin pauses in cleaning the table - spilling the soup had been an accident but the fact that Arthur had been so quick to dodge probably says something poor about his track record - to look up. Anything that upsets Arthur tends to become his problem eventually. "What's wrong?"

Arthur's reading a letter with a crease between his eyebrows. Actually wasn't he just reading the most recent report from Ealdor? Where did that come from?

He sighs, dropping the letter on top of the scroll Merlin had thought he'd been reading. "My aunt wants my help softening up my father. Except he's just going to blame me for this because my uncle keeps making those comments about taking hostages."

He's probably spent too much in the castle because he's actually able to parse out what he's talking about. "Lady Nimeuh took someone hostage?"

She's supposedly returned to the castle several times in the past month but Merlin's managed to avoid her so far. She's apparently rather skilled in portals and doesn't bother with doors, jumping across several kingdoms as she's needed and almost never bothering to dine in the great hall.

"It seems she's stolen an apprentice," he sighs, rubbing his forehead. "From Camelot. What a sorceress is doing there in the first place I have no idea, but this is definitely one they're going to miss. Couldn't she take the son of a blacksmith or someone useless? What was she doing in Camelot in the first place?"

"An apprentice?" Merlin asks weakly. Great another person for him to avoid - from Camelot and a sorceress! Although maybe those two things cancel each other out.

Arthur rubs his hand over his face. "She's the daughter of Lord Gorlois."

Wait. "She's kidnapping a noble?"

"Now you see what she wants me to talk to my father first," he says dryly.

He'd really thought it couldn't get any worse.
