I first started watching Merlin because...: I was there from the beginning. I was pretty excited there would be a fantasy tv show. My first reaction to Colin was 'oh, that's the guy from Midnight'. I remember how I waited every Saturday for a rip to be uploaded somewhere I could download it from. I think I completely fell in love with the show after the hurt/comforty 1x04 Poisoned Chalice. I wasn't even shipping anyone back then (I didn't even know what shipping is, to be honest). But then on a con, I watched a few Merthur music videos and met Merlin fanboy who is also very much in love with Bradley. And after the con I read my first fanfic. That's how it all started. :D
Favorite season of Merlin: definitely the first. I keep going back especially for the unicorn episode which is my comfort episode. I thing I watched it at least thirty times already. :D
Merlin OTP: Merlin/Arthur. It's canon after all. :D
Merlin second favorite ship: I don't really have one. I have just a bunch of sidepairings that I enjoy. Leon/Morgana (I have absolutely no idea why when it's absolutely nonexistent in the series), Gwen/Lancelot, Gwaine/Percival (and Gwaine/anyone)...
Favorite knight: I'll go with Leon because he's so calm and mature, but still so sweetly naive at times
Favorite female character: Morgana. But I like her more when she's not evil.
If I were a character on Merlin, I would be... I'd like to be Merlin because he has magic and gets to have Arthur. :D But I'd probably be more of a Gwen. You know, ordinary, has to work to survive, has younger brother, and falls for a guy who's very out of her league. Or maybe I'd be Mary, the barmaid from the Gwaine episode. We definitely share the physique. :D
Merlin fic I recently read & loved: k_nightfox's Drawn From the Heart
Merlin fanart I recently viewed & loved: puckboum's art that served as an inspiration for my reverse bb fic. It's really awesomely lovely. :) http://puckboum.livejournal.com/9292.html
Merlin comms that are improving my life: merlinxarthur all the way
Three Merlin LJ friends I recently made: I don't really know and am too lazy to look it up. :D
Last Merlin LJ post I wrote: With a Sweep of a Charcoal (Merlin/Arthur, NC-17)
Latest cast news that had me flailing: Probably the news about Colin in Tempest. :)
My feelings about Colin Morgan performing in the Tempest: flailing :D also, sadness I won't be able to go see for myself. I just hope there will be pictures. And that we'll get some barely clothed Colin. I wanted to see him shirtless for ages.
Here's a gif: yep, that one again... :D
