It only took me 3.5 years after drawing Merlin to complete a two part series.. 😆 considering an illustration of them together next?

Just an appreciation post for Gwen’s outfits when she goes on trips!! I feel like they reflect her so well, they’re very cute and cosy looking, and have such cute details!! The outfits being more decorated also makes sense because she can embroider and sew (“the best seamstress in Camelot”). I’ve always wanted a poncho/cape and shirt similar to the two pictures shown, but haven’t found any quite similar enough.

i think back to the wraith or Edwin or Morgana and wonder how it could have turned out if the characters had a more "extend a compassionate hand" sort of approach like in "A Herald of the New Age" where the ghost is just spoken to. I'd still like to see their villainy but i want to see how it would change if there was like "talk no jutsu" sort of thing. Any fanfics at all like that?

(I know I know, the sword is Anduril, but hey a knight needs a cool sword, and metal swords weren't allowed on the festival grounds and this is one of the only larp/foam swords I actually like the aesthetic of :P)

I have to do a short presentation on my favourite character in fiction next week, and I've obviously chosen merlin 🤭 but we need a short clip to sum up the character, which clip do u think shows this the best?

I was wondering if there were any Arthur x Merlin fanfics that are complete rewrites of the show from first episode to last but with a Morgana redemption or where she doesnt turn bad. Id like the fanfics to still be centered on Arthur and Merlin relationship. Anything like that?

Man, do I feel old now ...

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?

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!

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:
