Taylor Swift Makes So Much *Sense* Now...
Sep. 27th, 2009 09:37 pmI've been kind of immersed in "Merlin" for a few days now. I mean, I was warned that it had Smallville Season 1 levels of adorability (and gay) and even before I watched, I was unhealthily addicted to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweetestdrain 's Beast of Burden vid, so it isn't like I didn't know, okay.
I just had no fucking idea, okay. I mean CLEARLY someone should have told me about how Merlin goes back to his village and Arthur follows him because he might not come back otherwise and Merlin is always worried because he clearly loves Arthur but Arthur doesn't even really know him, the real him, and everyone is telling him to go for it with the crown prince like a kingdom full of frustrated Clark/Lex shippers, and that when Merlin fans talk about the the slashdragon, they seriously, literally mean a fucking dragon and not some bitter fandom vet who likes to flame newbies and then? AND THEN??? Arthur shoots Merlin's unicorn and Merlin cries about it and eventually Arthur proves himself pure of heart, or some shit, and Merlin is all happy and they stare at each other a lot and then they get into a fight.
They mostly fight about who wants to die for the other more.
Arthur: I am going to die for you.
Merlin: No, you are too important. I'll die.
Arthur: No, no, I need to die now.
Merlin: Seriously, dude, I want to die for you.
Arthur: But I want to die for YOU!
It is like a mortally wounded form of "You hang up first" "No, you hang up first" and I AM LOVING IT!
However, there are side effects of this much gay-awesome (gawesome?): I am suddenly extremely connected to the me that existed in 7th grade, to the extent that my "Merlin" vid-playlist is beginning to kind of reek of 12 year old girl and oddly? It fucking works. Scarily, I think I might be vidding "You Belong to Me." Or... god, surely someone else has done "Glory of Love" right? Didn't I see that at Vividcon? Please someone tell me that this exists cause otherwise, I might have to vid Bryan Adams and I just... God.
Do you know that if they do an episode where Merlin loses control of his magic, I will be compelled by forces beyond my control to vid SWV's "Weak (in the Knees)"? COMPELLED I TELL YOU. Ifsweetestdrain keeps trying to infect the world with Merlin/Gaius, I WILL VID George Michael's "One More Try." I believe the ancient texts of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson are speaking great truths (yet again). I barely survived 1988 the first time, I shouldn't have to revisit it musically, should I? SEND HELP! or, you know, your ideas cause I am pretty sure that at this point I have no shame.
