Picspam Tiem

Why I ship Merlin/Arthur
A look back at season one, and how I was slowly and completely converted to the worship of Merlin/Arthur
★ This picspam was created for [livejournal.com profile] merlin_land. GO TEAM MERLIN! ★



Reason #1 - Meet the First


Merlin: That was my mistake.
Arthur: Yeah, I think so.
Merlin: Yeah. I'd never have a friend who could be such an ass.
Arthur: Or I one who could be so stupid. Tell me, Merlin. Do you know how to walk on your knees?


Reason #2 - The Second Altercation


Arthur: I could take you apart with one blow.
Merlin: I could take you apart with less than that.
Arthur: There's something about you, Merlin.


Reason #3 - Trusting Merlin


Merlin: I know I'm just a servant, and my word doesn't count for anything. I wouldn't lie to you.
Arthur:I want you to swear to me what you're telling me is true.
Merlin: I swear it's true.
Arthur: Then I believe you.


Reason #4 - Saving You (and Defying Uther)


Gaius: Few who've crossed the Isgard Mountains in search of the Mortius flower have made it back alive.
Arthur: Sounds like fun.


Reason #5 - Meet the Parents


Arthur: Put the sword down, Merlin. You look ridiculous.


Reason #6 - I'd Die for You


Arthur: I had no idea you were so keen to die for me.
Merlin: Trust me, I can hardly believe it myself.
Arthur: I'm glad you're here, Merlin.


Reason #7 - Sacrifice


Merlin: I'm happy to be your sevant. Til the day I die.

For some reason I can´t get into the TV series. Tried to - oh how I tried - but no such luck, but the fandom has me by my eyelashes. Can´t stop reading it. So thank you for this, it has fuel more midnight reading *beams*

I miss S1 terribly. This is a gorgeous picspam - the colors are so vivid.

Ahhhh.....season one goodness! I especially love your reason #5 - "Meet the Parents." Hunith totally ships them! I'm 100% convinced of this. Also, even Uther knows how close Merlin and Arthur actually are. Gah, I love this show so much! The boys are just wonderful and their friendship/love so pure and true! Thanks for sharing ♥

PIC SPAAAAAMMM!!!! *flail*
OMG that was so wonderful! You know I've often wondered why I started worshipping Arthur/Merlin since I'm not really a slash girl at heart, but this pic spam just summed it all up.
Their love is just... wow. So hard to deny. *happy sigh*
And Season 2 was even better!!!! This show is so good to us lol.
Thanks for this, really made my evening :D

Absolutely gorgeous picspam. ♥ ♥ I like the reasons you chose and the coloring is great too. The scenes from Poisoned Chalice, Labyrinth of Gedref and the S1 finale are the best. The "sacrifice" one breaks my heart. Poor Merlin. :(

Lovely. Says it all.

Sometimes I wish that I'd been able to stay in this fandom - point me to some amazing fics and I might be able to get back into it!!!!

(Though, Torchwood has stolen my soul and heart and even my brain - every song I hear has Torchwood inflections and possibilities for fic! *points to icon*)

Lovely picspam, hon! Surprising intensity with the specific pictures you chose, but then, neither of the boys are really anything but intense, yeah? :P

[identity profile] noonwise.livejournal.com 2010-02-22 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
These reasons are all fantastic ones! I especially love #7!

[identity profile] gwy.livejournal.com 2010-02-22 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
So beautiful, oh those boys :D ♥♥ This made me smile a lot and i miss them so much on my screeen *cries*

♥ thanks!

...WE'VE STILL GOT TIIIIIIME
RAISE YOUR HOPEFUL VOICE, YOU HAVE A CHOICE...

Sorry. That was stuck in my head the whole time I looked at this :)
And back on topic, OMG ABSOLUTE LOVE.
<3<3<3
I have so much love for this picspam, you have no idea. And constructively, the colouring is amazing and I am very envious.
