Merthur Summer Fest [x] ↳ Day Seven: Aesthetic - Moodboard Arthur {merlin}

i have a question (..i feel too awkward to ask at this point but still going to anyway)..

what is the origin of ‘Lionheart’ with regard to Merlin?

is it the song ‘King and Lionheart’, the fan-fiction of the same title, or something else from the show that i missed?

update: Merlin Offcial twitter is the origin..

Morgause, on the phone: Hi, my idiot brother chased a cat and is stuck in a tree.

Fire department: Sorry, right now we’re only responding to fires.

Morgause: I see.

Morgause:

Morgause: Give me a second.

Gaius: You lost a lot of blood. Do you remember anything?

Merlin: Only the ambulance ride.

Lancelot: There was no ambulance. I drove you here.

Merlin: But I heard a siren?

Lancelot: That was Gwaine.

has this been done yet?

Headcanon that Freya and Arthur become afterlife BFFs in Avalon, and even though they can't return to the living world, Freya can visit, as long as she doesn't leave the lake, and this is how she and Arthur learn about the modern world, including language. Particularly slang. Not all of it is exactly accurate (think Ariel and the dinglehopper) but they're learning.

Stuff left on the docks? Gone. Too close to the shore? Yoinked. Things dropped in the lake? Never recovered. She even takes stuff from boats because technically she's still in the lake.

Freya, rollerskating into Avalon wearing a beach towel like a cape and a pair of giant sunglasses, carrying a boombox and a cooler of beer: Arthur, my good bitch, you will not believe what I found this time.

Arthur, wearing a 'Sun's Out, Guns Out' tank top, jean shorts, and a huge sunhat, reading one of the three dozen trashy romance novels Freya's brought him, drinking a pina colada through a crazy straw: Oh, word?

Say what you want about BBC Merlin, but none of the actors had to go as hard as they did with their performances. It was a show for kids, the CGI was shite, and on Robin Hood (which was the series before Merlin) no one except Richard Armitage bothered to act as seriously. 

But the fact that they did is what makes it so popular, what makes it endure, what pushes it and its characters and ships up the list in the fandom metrics each year. The actors took it seriously, they left an amazing legacy, particularly Colin Morgan and Bradley James. Even the devastation of the ending couldn’t break the fandom apart because it was sad, but it was so well done you almost didn’t mind. And that’s why a show which ended eight years ago is still so strong in the hearts of so many people.
