If TPTB don't want me to slash them, they have to stop giving me this material

[blamethewizard]

Okay, I MIGHT have been a bit out-of-it last night, but I decided to LOOK INTO IT today and yeah, HOLD THE PHONE GUYS, I AM SERIOUS HERE

OKAY: SRS bzns scene, Arthur is woken out of his trance by Uther.




Uther asks Arthur what the Low Down is on the quest deal, and reminds him that it has to be (and I am paraphrasing here) PRETTY FUCKING EPIC




Arthur says, "yeah, life or death, got it covered"





Merlin is very concerned by this




Uther reminds Arthur that you had better return with your shield or on it with the Trident or die trying, and NO you can't have help like you usually do at Chuck-E-Cheese where you get your friends to hold their hands over the holes while you rack up tickets on that gopher game. PLEASE NOTE MERLIN SHOWING UP IN THE BACKGROUND AND HIS LOCATION. WHY?...




BECAUSE ARTHUR THEN LOOKS DIRECTLY FUCKING AT HIM.   ......



HE DOES NOT WANT TO GO TO FACE LIFE OR DEATH WITHOUT HIS MERLIN.
(screencaps all byrawr_caps  by the way, to whom I am wholly indebted for allowing me to document this moment of awesome)

......

ETA:lightstarangel  reminded me that Arthur totally says "I do" right when he looks at Merlin. So they are, like, MARRIED in front of Uther or something. IDEK I can't make this stuff up.

I'M SORRY, YOU GUYS, BUT IF I AM NOT SEEING WHAT I AM SEEING, THEN I FEEL LIKE I AM TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE. HOW IS THIS A) NOT ON PURPOSE and B) NOT ON PURPOSE


AS IT IS, I ASKED MYSELF "DID I JUST SEE THAT??"




PLEASE DISCUSS. THANK YOU.

Also, a very happy birthday and many happy returns to dreamdustmama <3!! Because that is v. important too :)

omg i fucking love you!!!! you know Arthur didn't want to leave without Merlin! he was giving him the eye....you know....the one that says "you better fucking come with me or no sex for you later!"

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

<3

He can't face life or death circumstances without his love!

[hermette.livejournal.com]

Is that -- I mean, did everyone not notice that? I thought it was pretty obvious. IDEK about the stage direction, but fact is Bradley CANNOT KEEP HIS EYES OFF HIS BOY AND NEITHER CAN ARTHUR. THE END.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

I don't know....I just felt the need to document because THIS IS NOT MY IMAGINATION. THAT JUST HAPPENED.

I dunno if it was the stage direction, or an actor's choice, but either way IT'S KIND OF A SUPER MOMENT. They cannot be in the same room and not communicate their chemistry.

[dreamdustmama.livejournal.com]

I TOTALLY SAW THAT. ♥

And thank you!!! :DDDD

With the sort of widespread rumblings that sense M/A is going off the, um, slashy railroad, I got very excited over this small but significant development. IT'S JUST LOVE.

I hope you have some excellent plans for your b-day, and that you get some excellent treats. You get the "good" candy today, right?

[dreamdustmama.livejournal.com]

Those rumblings make me sad. :( A/M will forever be my OTP. ♥

I definitely get the 'good' candy today. :P

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

Me too bb! But I will just go with my observations...and like lighstarangel pointed out, Arthur totally says "I do" right at the end there :)

YES to the good chocolate...I am partial to kit kats myself

IF TIM GUNN SAYS IT, IT MUST BE TRUE.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT YOU KNOW

[lightstarangel.livejournal.com]

YES THAT HAPPENED. I swear they're trying to kill us. AND THEN HE GOES "I DO!" O.O AKJREOIUR)#(UDLJFLDKJ!!!Eleventy1111!!!

I TOTALLY SWOONED

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT IS A WORD

AND I AM STUCK ON CAPSLOCK

I watched this ep this morning and I really seriously loved like every fucking minute of it. It's like, I loved both story lines and Gwen is finally on the fucking ball. And then it was kind of like...I hope they aren't going to force Gwaine too hard and make him the save the day person rather than Arthur or Merlin or whomever and they didn't because I love Gwaine so much I was like I love this guy and want to have his babies.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure this ep will go down as one of the best...because not only did we get some good storyline (and I loved the side-plot of Gwen investigating and figuring things out) but it was like a glimpse of the future with Arthur going on quests with Merlin and the knights.

It's hard not to love Gwaine (or G.love as I am now calling him, because nobody can decide how to spell his name) and I don't think they pushed the Merlin/G ship in as much as demonstrated that the guy is really sort of lonely and tired of living his roaming life. He just wants a friend!!

[aramis-chan.livejournal.com]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Oh Arthur, you know you need Merlin around. Secretly, you were probably totally expecting him to show up!

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

He didn't seem all that annoyed when Merlin did arrive :)

[eldee.livejournal.com]

Many hearts to this post!

♡♡♡

and to you as well <3

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

It's not you. I mean Bradley can't keep his eyes of Colin anyway and this just gives him an excuse. :D

Loved Gwaine. Loved that he was man enough to hug Merlin and Arthur is still too constipated to do it, even after all this time!

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

:D I think you're right!!

I wonder if Arthur knows how to hug properly...or Uther for that matter!

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

Probably Arthur has no idea how to hug properly. Gwaine should give him lessons by hugging Merlin and showing him how it's done.
