Soooo I've been watching a lot of Merlin. The first ten episodes, I saw while getting increasingly drunk with loveyouallwrong and various Chicagoans. Merlot and Sprite, baby! Pete Wentz's best idea since making Patrick Stump sing! This definitely affected my appreciation, as I went from OH MY GOD THE VOICEOVER AT THE BEGINNING EMBARRASSMENT SQUIIICK to "Lea, this show is ACTUALLY good, right? It's like. REALLY good."

(Lea: "No.")

But it's not just the alcohol, okay? I love this freaking show. It is SO BAD and it feels SO GOOD. Ugh amazing amazing badfic being filmed.

Still, every so often some tiny straw breaks my back and I freak out at how inconsistent it is (OH MY ACTUAL GOD, WHY ARE THEY DOING MAGIC IN OLD ENGLISH WHEN ARTHUR SPENDS HIS LIFE FIGHTING THE SAXONS) (THAT IS NOT WHAT MEDIEVAL SCULPTURES OF DOGS LOOK LIKE) (WHY ARE THE WALLS SO SMOOTH). I can accept the big stuff, the Victorian castle, whatever! And yet then something hits me the wrong way and BANG.

I wasn't expecting Merlin and Arthur to be as attractive in motion as they are, because they're both kind of odd-looking in still shots. But they really ARE hot shit. (And I know it's very very early in the fandom to be crossing this line, but... have you watched the cast video diary? Yeah. YEAH. I'D READ IT.) Gwen and Morgana are also even gayer than I thought they would be, and I'd been warned that they're pretty gay. I love all four of them and their relationships with each other more than I expected.

Anyway, here are some things I would like Merlin fandom to get right on, thanks:

- fic where Morgana and Arthur create a SECRET CLUB for people who want to seduce their super hot servants. They hang a sign on the door! NOBULZ ONLEE, NO SURVANTZ ALLOWED

- fic where Arthur notices Merlin's hickey and frrrreaks out. Basically I am envisioning a situation where Arthur : people who give Merlin hickeys :: Uthur : magic.

- FIC WHERE MERLIN IS PREGNANT

- FIC WHERE ARTHUR IS PREGNANT (!!!!!)

- FIC WHERE MERLIN IS SICK AND ARTHUR NURSES HIM

- sex pollen spells wtf why are there not 1000 fics of this already

- All of the Gwen/Morgana.

- All of the Gwen/Morgana, Merlin/Arthur parallelism fic where Gwen and Merlin are awkward and Arthur and Morgana are grumpy and jealous.

- an Arthur vid to Womanizer. Think about it. Merlin is Britney.

- Lea and I had another great vid idea but I forget it! Essentially, what I want is a lot of Lord King Bad Vids. Because this is, if ever such a thing has been, a Lord King Bad Show.

Um, who else has fallen for this? Half of my flist, if I'm not mistaken? Talk to me! What do YOU want that no one has yet adequately provided?
