marguerite_26YAY!!! I've watched every. single. episode!!! YAY!
OMG! so much fun. Come talk to me about it!!! I've kinda devoured the show and haven't had time to process all the little bits and bobs. I've read two fic. (wot? you didn't believe me when I said I wouldn't?)
I have several (dozen) plot bunnies bouncing about it my head. YAY! OMG! those boys are soooo damn cute together. I am in looooooooooooove.
Also! icon! ha! There is also a cross-dressing one and a bondage one. :D
Got them here if anyone is interested. :D
I wish I could spend hours making comments on everything single episode, because I totally could ramble quite a bit. I was very open to falling in love with this show and I did, easily. :D
I'm surprised how much I love Arthur. For all the lameness and over the top silliness that the show has, there is a complexity to Arthur that is fantastic. He is such a prat. OMG! And he hasn't moved past being a prat (which I appreciate!) he simply allows enough glimpses of himself that make me love him while still knowing he is a such a prat. *squishes him* I like characters that don't suddenly become 'not a prat' because it's season 2, or whatever.
And Merlin! *flails* while the whole '*sigh* I have a secret identity and everyone thinks I'm a tool and I must trip and fall be ridiculous' is all very over done by every popular 'hero' atm, it works for me because Colin true is a total adorable geek and not ZOMG!gorgeous!athletic guy playing a geek. And MAN that boy can wear emotions on his sleeves with the best of them. He is the EMO KING. *loves*
Misc. Stuff I LOVED:
You shall be Arthur's Manservant. ok - totally obvious, yet.. ahahaha! WIN!
The 'married to a Troll' episode. Oh.My.God. I was prepared for it totally lame filler episode but bwahhahaha! I died laughing throughout the entire thing. Tony Head is just FABULOUS in love, isn't he?
Ok - a little segue into another life - on Buffy, Tony was famous for not WEARING TROUSERS. So like if a scene was going to be shot from the waist up, he didn't wear his trousers for the scene. HAHAHAHA! I can't help think that every time he shoots a scene in Merlin. *snorfles*
Arthur being jealous over Merlin giving Morgana flowers? LOL! There is a missing scene there where Arthur spanks him manservant for inappropriate behaviour. o.O
Also, Arthur should bathe more in season 3. Bathing is VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE. just ... one.. only one little scene with Merlin washing Arthur's hair? PLEASE? pretty PLEASE??? *begs* Also towelling off. VERY IMPORTANT and clearly manservant work.
cross-dressing? this needs to come up more often. Also more water tossing. and tending to wounds. And just a little thank you to whomever decided that Arthur's chest was basically it's own character in Season 2 and that it needed more screen time that anyone else. That was lovely.
OH - and my favourite moment - and this is kinda weird, but when Arthur is 'officially' crowned, the way Merlin looks at him which such pride. *flails*
ok - talk to me people!!! favourite eps, favourite quotes.
I would also love recs to fics, but my time is VERY limited so I'm going to be specific...
- only absolute favs, no AUs (I'm not ready for that yet), Arthur/Merlin, I'd pref. top!Arthur (no, don't get into the 'top/bottom shouldn't matter' debate with me. I'm just telling you my preference at this moment. for whatever reason, top!merlin just doesn't do it for me.) and 'fits into canon' stuff would be TOTAL WIN.
