MERLIN - S3 - Picspam - 3.13 1/2
This was the picspam from hell, from the recap from hell...I lost days finishing this off. Days I shall never get back, though luckily some of them turned out nicely - so I'll post the nicer ones XD
I got into my head to cap very epic thing that happened, which became everything that happened...which lead to craziness.
My favorite thing that happened was Gwen and Leon being revealed as childhood friends (THANK YOU WRITERS), and there's quite a lot of Leon in these - but it's not my fault he was central to the plot and made an LOLy team up with Gwen!
...
*crosses arms*
OKAY, fine there's a little bit of favoritism going on. Just a tad.
But... can you blame me?
Anyway, I'm going to try something different and a bit of my random recap observations/quotes...oh and the colouring on this depended on my mood and level of tiredness. Tho I found I was partial to GOLDEN.
------
Leon: *is thrown to the ground before Morgana*
Morgana: Tell me Sir Leon, how have you enjoyed the first week of my reign?
*silence*
Morgana: Speak up. *silence* Are you and your fellow knights ready to honor and serve me? (does this not sound a little leery?)
Leon: I would rather die.
Morgause: *chimes in while her sister stews* That can be arranged.
Leon: My loyalty is to the King and Prince Arthur. There is nothing you can do to change that.
Morgana: We shall see.
I suppose Arthur misses his sulking window. Can't have a proper sulk without it.
Back at Castle DOOOMEH, Morgana's giving a motivational speech to the Knights...it's not going well. There are men with crossbows.
You would not want her coaching your little league team.
Morgana: Father.
Uther: Why are you doing this?
Morgana: Come, come, surely you of all people must understand? Sometimes such measures are necessary.
Uther: *steps forward, chained to the wall* Those people are innocent.
(the fact that Uther knows this and can say it, boggles the mind. I'm actually starting to think ONCE UPON A TIME, before the purge, he might have been a good King O_0)
Morgana: As were so many that you put to death. (two wrongs don't make a right, Morggie and OMG that's not even logic - you killed people, I'm killing people, their innocent...blah)
Uther: *Takes a breath* If you must kill someone, kill me.
Morgana: *smiles* You'll get your wish, *smiles drops* but not yet...*steps closer* First I want you to suffer as I suffered. To know what it's like to be alone and afraid. To be disgusted with who and what you are. (WAIT WHAT?! SINCE WHEN? ...BE HONEST MORGS- YOU'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOURSELF HAVEN'T YOU?)
Uther: *teary as she turns to go* Do you really hate me so much?
Morgana: You cannot begin to know how much I hate you. (I betcha it's not as much as I hate peas).
Merlin: ...Oh believe me you've eaten far worse. I've definitely served you things that I would never have touched, but you wolfed them down no problem. (EEW. MY IMAGINATION CAN COME UP WITH SO MANY POSSIBILITIES...TOAD, FOR EXAMPLE)
Arthur: Merlin. Leave me in peace, please. (DUDE. MOPING. RESPECT IT)
Merlin: *Leaves the bowl and gets up* I understand (oh, you have a crazy evil sister too?) your father lied to you about Morgana - I don't know why. (WOW. You're not even going to own up to overhearing Gaius and Uther...) I'm sure he had his reasons, but now is not the time for that. He's still your father, he needs you.
Arthur: I've known her all my life...how could she do this to us? (IDK enchantment? That loophole hasn't been used enough)
Merlin: I can't answer that (meaning 'I refuse to get into who tried to murder who first'). But you have a duty to your father, to your people - you can't give up on them now.
Arthur: I cannot defeat an immortal army. (okay, good some logic. How will Merlin handle this?)
Merlin: We don't know, until we try. (Right...of course, blind ATTABOY faith)
Morgana: I'm beginning to see the challenges that I face. being Queen is not so simple, Gwen. (NO DUH. ALSO WAY TO RUB THE QUEEN THING IN GWEN'S FACE)
Gwen: You're doing well, your majesty (OMG the convo where Morgana told Gwen to call her that must have been LOLy. ALSO HOW MUCH DOES GWEN ROCK FOR SOUNDING LIKE SHE MEANS IT?)
Morgana: You think? ...The Knights do not share your view.
Gwen: *seeing her opportunity knocking, steps over* They don't know you. (If they did they'd have broken out and made a run for it)
Morgana: *smiles* (is it just me or is that small bald patch on the side of her head REALLY distracting?) I need their allegiance. Without that the people will not yield to me.
Gwen: My mother was a maid in Sir Leon's household (ONSD! UNEXPECTED BACKGROUND MOTHER INFO \o/ My squeals were so high they could only be heard by dogs...) we grew up together. I could talk to him. (♥!) Try to make him see sense.
Morgana: You would do that for me? (I like to think it's THIS point where Morgana starts to suspect something's up, not the whole time)
Gwen: Uther killed my father.
Morgana: *mouth opens in surprise, then closes her eyes for a second* Yes, I forgot you too had suffered. (OF COURSE YOU DID)
Gwen: Let me meet with Sir Leon.
Morgana: *nods* I will arrange it.
Gwen: *looks pleased, then curtseys* Thank you, your majesty. (SHE IS THE MOST ADORABLE LIAR EVER)
Morgana: *Smiles creepily*
Leon: *stands* Guinevere. (Hee, I like him saying it. I can imagine them as kids. SO DAMN CUTE. Tall and short XD)
Gwen: It's all I could get.
Leon: I don't understand, what are you doing here? *starts eating*
Gwen: Morgana sent me. *earns a look* To talk to you, to make you see sense.
Leon: *spits out the food (gross Leon, it's probably not even poisoned)*
Gwen: Listen to me-
Leon: I'd rather starve. GUARD!
Gwen: *steps closer to him and whispers* I'm going to help you escape.
*Guard comes*
Gwen: It's alright. Get me some water. *Guard stands there and Gwen gets a little 'bitch please!' on him* The Queen has instructed me to get the prisoner food and water!
Leon: *softly* Do you know what will happen to you if you're caught?
Gwen: We have to find Arthur.
Leon: I have a good idea where he'll be hiding. (So we've decided he's not dead - good assumption. Also HA Arthur was one of those kids that hid in the SAME place every time for Hide and Seek wasn't he?)
Gwen: Then I need to get you out of here.
Leon: How? It's impossible surely? (looks like it's time for Gwen to prove someone wrong)
Gwen: I'm a trusted member of the court. (is there even a court anymore? Isn't it just Morgana, Gwen and Morgause and a bazillion soldiers?)
*watching through the grate are Morgause and Morgana, aw makes me think of Cenred*
Gwen: *whispering to Leon* Morgause has the keys to the cells in her chambers...
Leon: No. Gwen...*too soft to hear*
Morgana: It as we suspected, she's betrayed me. I will have her executed at dawn.
Morgause: No. Wait, this is good. let her run to her beloved prince, she will lead us straight to him.
Morgana: Did you speak to Sir Leon?
Gwen: Yes.
Morgana: And will he do as you asked? *crazy eyes*
Gwen: It might take some time. But I think he will come round.
Morgana: Gwen *laughs and gives crazy smile. She looks like she's lost control of her face muscles. And moves over to get drinks* This deserves a celebration.
Gwen: Your majesty... *frowns but accepts glass*
Morgana: To friendship and loyalty.
Gwen: To friendship and loyalty.
*They both drink, and it's like a double fake out crossed with Snow White*
Determined, Merlin runs out into the night to go talk to Slash, I say talk, I mean bum a ride.
Dragon: I am not a horse, Merlin!
Merlin - If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem - I read that on a t-shirt.
Dragon - OKAY OKAY WHATEVER. I DID COME ALL THIS WAY.
Merlin does his acorn boat thing. At least it looks like a giant acorn. And I can't help but feel sorry for the poor trusting soul who keep leaving his boats in the reeds. Merlin having torched the last one.
Gwen: *warning bells chime as she opens the door and lets Leon in. Thrust dress into his arms* We haven't got time to waste.
Leon: Y-...you can't be serious.
Gwen: *with Merlin's impatience* Just hurry!
Leon: Buh.
Gwen: Every guard in Camelot will be looking for YOU. They won't be looking for two women courtiers (tho at this time of night ANYTHING would look suspicious - but okay Gwen's word is truth.)
Leon: *sighs and reaches for his belt*
Gwen: *turns her back*
(LOL these two guys! I LOVE THEM.)
He doesn't even try and go behind the screen he just starts stripping off in the middle of her kitchen...
Gwen: What's taking you so LONG?
Leon: *lurches out from behind the tree she's leaning on* I'm a woman! *struggles in vain*
Gwen: *moves to him* Let me help you. (lol she's a professional...OH I WANT COMMENTARY ON THIS ONE! Bradley, Angel and Rupert - I can imagine the talk of her helping a Knight take off his dress :P ...and Bradley teasing Rupert about the pictures Angel took, and Angel denying the existence of these pictures and...then Katie and Colin crashing the commentary - and IDK someone write this for me *pouts*)
Leon: *sighs, while she undoes the back.*
Gwen: *returns to where she was*
Leon: From here we need to take the path heading to North *shrugs down the top half of his looooooong shift. The woman Gwen stole that off must have been a giant or a supermodel*. There's a cave in the Darkling woods, five minutes dues East of the fallen oak. *Drops shift and starts putting on tunic* It has a concealed entrance and fresh water.
Gwen: *looks back wondering if he's finished changing. He hasn't. Looks back to the front*
Leon: My guess is that's where Arthur's hiding out. (out of the whole woods there is ONE hiding spot, that's just sad)
Gwen: *looks back again, Leon is putting his boots on*
Back to Camelot, where Morgause apologizes and Morgana's all SHRUG SHRUG I'll just kill the Knights - that will solve all my problems. Morgause is all - OH....KAY. Lets go with that, I like your enthusiasm.
Arthur tells the Scooby Gang to split up and find stuff.
You'd assume bad things would happen. But no. Not this time.
Merlin lights a fire, Gwen lights some candles, Percy's gets a drink for Gaius (hopefully nothing too strong - drunk Gaius would not be pleasant) and Gwaine just comes back with an armful of weapons. Apparently bandits are forgetful or maybe just careless with such things, which the boys crowd around excitedly- OOOH STUFF TO INJURE PPL WITH COOLIES.
And Arthur discovers there's a Table under that sheet. A round table, which Gaius has already sat himself at. Good one.
Arthur's all DUDES AND DUDETTE, LET US BE CIVIL AND TRY OUT THIS TABLE.
Arthur: Guinevere.
Gwen: *uncomfortable, looks at the guys loitering and drinking on the other side of the room* They'll see.
Arthur: I don't care. (♥) I want you to know, if I never see you again-
Gwen: You will. You will see me.
Arthur: *stares down at her*
Gwen: *cups his face (HEE)* I watched you last night, you gave us hope. I saw the King you'll become. I'm so proud of you Arthur. (OH, AWESOME AWESOME WORDS)
Arthur: *leans down to kiss her*
And I was all ♥_♥ ...WAIT LOL COULD YOU NOT FIND A CORNER OF THE CASTLE? WHAT IF- *shot of Lancelot and I break into inappropriate giggles* YOU GUYS! PDAS ARE GOOD, BUT NOT IN FRONT OF THE EX XD
Note: You can repost these in your LJ or Comm as long as credit me and you don't change or add anything to the image. If you really want to then PM me or comment and IDK I'll probably let you do whatever your awesome idea is. The only thing I won't agree to is you cutting this up for icons...that's my job :P
