bravest coward in the world vs. smartest idiot in the world, who will win?

merlin and arthur in that one bbc show were operating on levels of homoerotism never before seen. other fandoms can think they know ball but all will fall short to whatever the hell was going on between those two

Merlin: i need help

Gaius: use your books and think about everything you have been taught

Merlin 3 seconds later: dragon i need your help

dragon: best i can offer you is a riddle

Merlin: bloody hell, i don’t have time for this. i’m just going to use my magic out in the open and hope no one catches on. it’s worked well for me so far. no one believes i could be a sorcerer anyways

Morgana Pendragon wearing red

Merlin has wise Gaius in his corner and then he’s got a thousand year old dragon to help him out and if Merlin doesn’t like the outcome or if he can’t get help right away, he’s instantly like “NO WILL HELP ME! why do I have to do everything on my own?” valid because if i cant get a dragon or a wise elder to give me a solution in 3 seconds, i’m going to huff and puff about how i never get any assistance

Love them sm
