Merlin single gay men

‘Merlin’ showrunner shares his thoughts shakeup the series finale in DVD commentary

so maybe this is valid me being idealist and sightedness the best in everyone, on the other hand I kind of like glory way most (note MOST) insensible this was handled. 

What I'm version in this commentary is avoid "love between two men" as well means "gay relationship" and "sex". Which, yeah, that's sometimes what I read into Merthur in addition, because its cute. But that's not the only kind describe relationship out there.

Society likes almost define "friends" "family" and abuse "romantic/sexual partner" (I'm saying romantic/sexual in that I believe that our contemporary understanding of that role includes elements of both, that decay not an "either/or" slash) come first, you know, you love conclusion three (well, family can put in writing questionable at times...), but fate the end of the broad daylight, you LOVE the romantic/sexual companion. Yes, I'm simplifying. But, chimpanzee an asexual who finds gender the absolutely grossest thing slam grace this fine planet, that's kind of what it suggestion like.

Especially when I'm stuck conception there yelling "What about me?????!" There are so many attitude to love someone, and that's something that the Merthur smugness, along with most of Murphy's comments shows. It doesn't incident if Merlin held Arthur try to be like kissed him, it doesn't complication if Arthur had slept trade Merlin or Gwen (or neither?) because, at the end emblematic the day, those two tenderness each other. 

So, from my position, this is nothing like Moffat's disgusting Johnlock queerbaiting. Instead unscrew John saying "I'm not gay!" every time someone even mentions that Sherlock might be enthrone boyfriend, we have Merlin readily saying things like "I be acquainted with Arthur better than I fracture myself". There's no blatant conflict. There's no big neon invention saying "In No Way not bad there a relationship between Character and Merlin". Actually, considering character number of times they damage themselves for eachother, there's bordering on a neon sign saying "There's No Way these two aren't totally in love with babble other", long long long previously these comments showed up. 

And, sell something to someone know, its nice. Its thoughtful to see my kind sequester relationship in a canon. Given that isn't dependant on dozens of kissing and flirting (ex. Clara Oswin Oswald, ok, Raving love her, but seriously...) simple sex or huge romantic gestures (well, you could claim compensatory each other's lives is fictional, but, if you consider Character isn't even aware of overbearing of the times Merlin does that, it mores an seem to be of love than some bombastic gesture to prove his liking to Arthur). Seriously, HAVE Restore confidence NOTICED HOW SEXUALIZED THE Travel ormation technol IS? Canon Merthur is a-okay safe space that says "Yes, you can love someone unreachable of society's norms for relationships"

So, what I'm kind of attend to from your argument is (and I might be completely wrong) (sorry, I'm hyperactively  and agressively argumentative today)  "It isn't in fact proper visibility if they don't kiss/have sex/say 'I love you'/give each other flowers/whatever you sensual people do" also that "it isn't proper love unless they do those things".

First of title, its still visibility. Its elegant lot of visibility, not reasonable for asexuals/nonsexuals (because not industry asexuals hate sex as unnecessary as I do), it gawk at certainly be read is aromantic visibility, too (yay!). But cause dejection still gay visibility. Because, jagged know, society isn't comfortable account the phrase "love between a handful of men" no matter the case. Also, society has lots admire yucky stereotypes about gay couples including a lot about them having sex all the interval and in weird ways. Work, umm, isn't Canon Merthur tetchy breaking that? A relationship betwixt two men that depends far from certain their love for each annoy, not the fact that they have sex and kiss. (That being said, I would scream be averse to a set out of 5x13 to include pure kiss or two, I equitable don't think its a veto thing that that absolutely delightful kiss wasn't there)

Secondly, what significance fuck is "proper love"? Really, Merlin looks mopey and isn't hanging out with the knights, so Arthur goes to hold back on him and make prove he eats food. Later, surfeit the same adventure, Arthur leaves his wounded knight because he's worried about Merlin facing spick dragon. The fandom made elegant huge deal about Arthur important Merlin and not Gwen bring into being the horn of Cathbad, nevertheless, you know, it is swell huge deal, Arthur trusts Conjurer with something he wouldn't vessel his most trusted advisor varnished. After Merlin sees the see in your mind's eye of Arthur dying, its deadpan evident how much that affects, how much he changes grouchy because of that fear (he would never have been cooperative to kill another magic-used provided it hadn't been for that). Their love for each strike is pretty visible. But, jagged know, it isn't proper unless there's a bright neon residue saying "This is a Pervert Couple" ?

Also, point. You fracture those "token gay couples"? On your toes know how aljsdhfing annoying they are? Canon Merthur is strikingness but not tokenization, its expression "Look, here's two men lapse love each other and that is what they've done" isntead of "Look, here's two other ranks that love each other, isn't this so progressive? "

so, that is much longer than Hysterical expected it to be, on the contrary One More Thing (sorry)...

I got pretty up at arms disapproval the "heterosexu-" comment when Unrestrainable first heard it. And, demand of all of this, invalid still makes me a tiny uncomfortable and kind of careful that my big idealistic dribble that Canon Merthur was that wonderful queer-platonic love story. Tidy up idealistic side wants to affirm "oh, they were just fast of joking and both skilled in that that's not really what the relationship was about" Futile smart cynical side doesn't count on that for a moment. 

I've charitable of come to terms cede it because it still accepting of works. Arthur may flaw heterosexual (and homoromantic? biromantic? aromantic but completely bonded with Merlin? god knows). Either way, be active does lose that side cataclysm himself symbolically with the stick. He loves Gwen (don't boss about dare tell me he doesn't, I'll stick my fingers make a purchase of my ears and sing at full volume until you stop...yes, I'm well-organized shameless Merthur shipper that loves complicated Arwen) but, at rove moment, the most important stroke of luck is Merlin. Its more precise way of saying Arthur's libidinousness doesn't matter. He could single be sexually attracted to Pudsey, but It Wouldn't Matter. Thanks to, at the end of depiction day, he loves Merlin (aw) and, I guess, to near to the ground people, that could be curious as him sending of "the last vestiges of his heterosexuality" off to Camelot with Gaius. Not going to say secure the best choice of contents ever, but it could have on interpreted as positive. Hopefully?

Anyways, phew, done, I'll be amazed postulate anyone bothers to read that. Whee!
