Merlin Picspam - 1x05 Lancelot

exsequarSo having expressed my frustration with the lack of normal, decent-sized capspams in this fandom, I'm doing something about it! I started with the Lancelot episode because, well, pretty.
Credit for the caps goes entirely to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
potthead at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
inadream_caps, except for a small handful I took myself. Mostly of Arthur in the red v-neck tunic. YOU KNOW THE ONE.
108 caps behind the cut! Contains all characters, but with something of a bias towards Arthur because, um. I have eyes! Enjoy!
We begin with Merlin looking slightly silly. I feel this sets the tone appropriately. Mushrooms!
Enter Lancelot, the dashing yet humble hero. Isn't he lovely? Also about to pass out from a stomach wound, but you can't really fault him for that.
Merlin is very concerned for his newboyfriend friend.
Said friend is very pretty, even when sick. I suspect he may be a sorcerer as well.
The Pendragons! You know how ridiculous I am about family dynamics. *chinhands* And this is a particularly screwed up one! I'm fond of the matching cloaks. And their pretty ponies. I'm also amused by the fact that Arthur's horse is taller than Uther's.
N'awww, Lancelot. No wonder everyone loves you on sight! *ruffles hair*
"You know Arthur?" "Oh yes!" I can add nothing that hasn't been said a million times, but really Merlin? *draws hearts*
Aaaaand enter the REAL hero. Don't worry Arthur my love, we didn't forget about you. I love how he manages to stand with attitude even when covered in chainmail and armor. Unf unf. *climbs like a treeee*
FACES. ♥
His hair is so.... shiny. I frequently want to play with it.
I'm sorry, Merlin's ears just make me laugh. Sticky outy ears are a serious barrier to hotness for me. Also, the Ryan Ross haircut just has to go. But he is unspeakably adorable!
Simply here for admiring purposes. Mmm. (You know, I KNOW he was Isaac in Heroes, but I can't seem to make the cognitive leap. Isaac was annoying and a waste of space. Lancelot makes everyone (including me) within a 50 meter radius swoon. I don't even know!)
*snorts*
Again, simply soak it in.
Then again, there are times when I would very much like to lick the dip at Merlin's throat. *hands* I never said I wasn't fickle!
And again. He has a very beautiful profile, I must say.
Aww.
Who's made of win?
Lancelot is skeptical.
Lucky, LUCKY girl! I thought it was pretty fabulous how these two were in a room and it was like ♥____♥ all around. Merlin's over in the corner pondering the feasibility of a threesome.
Gwen! I never knew you had such... proclivities.
Lancelot seems to find them pleasing. Carry on!
Or just go back to your "I'm so ridiculously cute and fumbly and innocent, please love me" act. Pssh. I see right through it.
They are such teenage BOYS here. "Are you and Gwen......... you know?" Lancelot's hand motions are quite illuminating!
Lancelot and his personal harem.
Aaand on his arse. Already. Arthur wastes no time!
He's unimpressed. He likes at least a little bit of a power struggle first! (See: Merlin.)
N'aw.
Cheekbones.
*giggles* Had a bit of a roll in the hay then?
Gaius's faces are pretty much the best thing ever.
That's never going to work on him, Merlin. (Me, on the other hand...)
I would like to introduce you to THE V-NECK RED TUNIC OF JOYE AND SEXE.
Seriously. I. Can't. Words. Nope. Fail. With the necklace and. The bracelet. And the tied belt. And the ARMS and the CHEST and the HAIR and the ARTHUR. OM NOM NOM.
SERIOUSLY. I have watched this scene an embarrassing number of times :>
Don't worry Lancelot, I'd be bamboozled in the face of that much hotness too (you ain't looking too shabby yourself in the white. The v-neck could be a bit more plunging though. Take notes from your prince).
*reduced to flapping and noises*
And then he fights with a staff and it's really unfair. To my ovaries. In all seriousness, Bradley is really fucking good at this. Even if his fighting faces are truly hilarious.
"Come on." *combusts*
And so it begins.
Arthur fights dirty!
Lancelot makes a ridic face!
Arthur smirks and I die a little more!
His tunic's been rucked up by all the fighting! And the v is plunging even MORE! I may be young but that doesn't mean I can't have blood pressure problems! *fans self*
Look at how the light just caresses the planes of his face, glints off his hair. All those fics that describe light highlighting his hair like a halo... aren't exaggerating!
And then he plays with Lancelot a little, like a cat with a toy. Mmrph.
And then he goes on his merry, completely inconsiderate of how many fangirls he just singlehandedly murdered. THANKS ARTHUR.
Phew. Okay. Deep breaths. More Pendragons being simply gorgeous, instead of illegally hot. We can all calm down now.
Father and son. Oh Giles. Tony Head is so fucking fantastic in this role.
And there he goes with the being all princely and beautiful again.
Oh there you are Lancelot! I see you've been heeding Arthur's example in the v-neck front! Good boy!
I'm sorry, but the helmet always makes me laugh. It makes him look like he's got duck lips, like this guy I knew in high school.
Lancelot is PWNED!
But wait... he PWNS Arthur back!
Neener!
Lancelot's fanclub is very pleased.
Lancelot is very pretty.
I don't know why, but the orange tunic makes him look like he's a little boy playing dress up. It's ridiculously cute.
Ah, there you are, my dear Morgana! I'm sorry, this is an episode where you prove to be rather pointless. On the bright side, your hair looks phenomenal, and I am quite amused by your immediate subscription to the Lancelot fanclub. So's Gwen. "He's mine, bitch!" she'd say, if she wasn't, you know, Gwen.
Uh oh, Uther's being pleasant. Something's afoot!
Teehee. I'm rather fond of these two <3
Meanwhile, Arthur has appropriated Merlin's new boyfriend to be his own.
And is busy getting him sloshed.
Then they ogle different girls. Arthur's face here is... I don't know, wistful? Of course he knows Morgana's beautiful, so why is he asking? His emotions towards her are so obviously potent, yet he hasn't quite gotten past their teenage sibling rivalry stage. He's really just starting to see her as a woman. I love how Bradley plays that. ANYWAY! /tangent
Then Morgana does something sinful with a cherry or something, and I don't know how Arthur doesn't sweep her away and ravish her that very moment. I know I'm tempted!
The mirrored poses crack me up.
Awww, girlfriends! Merlin is so hilarious and clueless. And I think the "So if you had to, Arthur or Lancelot?" "But I don't have to, and I never will!" exchange is kind of the best thing ever. Just you wait, Guinevere!
Faces faces faces! *draws hearts*
To my new boyfriend! I'm prince of Camelot, so I get to have him even though I totally didn't see him first! \o/
I really don't think Lancelot minds.
But then.... oops. He has to get on his knees, but not in the fun sexytiems way. :(
This is a gorgeous shot, except for the rather... unfortunate positioning. *g*
Poor Arthurface :( *pats his head*
May I just take a moment to say that I vastly enjoy his ring? His hands are not my usual type (his are strong, sturdy and capable - I have a thing for long, graceful fingers) but um. They're ARTHUR'S. So. *noms*
This cap is here solely for Arthur's darling bowlegs.
Awwww, PUPPY! *feeds him cookies*
The Knights of Camelot apparently cannot form a proper circle. I feel this may become an issue when they become the Knights of the Round Table.
This whole scene is kind of unintentionally hilarious. But Arthur continues to be pretty, so! *shrug*
HOSHIT.
*licks*
His lips are kind of sinfully red here. And his bangs are doing very fun things.
This is Merlin's I Know I Did Wrong But I Will Fix It So Please Stop Yelling face.
Let's face it, Arthur looks perfect in pretty much any light.
These two have a pretty epic little arc for a one-episode relationship. Filler fic, anyone? The night after the feast, perhaps?
Again with the MOUTH. Geez.
*sniff*
Dirty pretty thing <3
There's a lot in this look! Basically, Lancelot has chemistry with everyone and everything.
Case in point. Now THAT I would watch. *chinhands*
DUCK LIPS.
Merlin checking on his fallen boyfriend. He does it twice, you'll notice. Entirely unnecessary. <3
Again with the profile. His lips are, too, a little sinful sometimes.
I love this shot. With the mysterious blue light that totally isn't coming from a spotlight placed right behind that little hill, what are you talking about. And the ghostly castle in the background.
Again, pretty!
Awww. Poor baby missed all the action. (Side note: Is it just me, or do a significant number of knights get killed off practically every episode? It's like he's got a Mary Poppins bag full of them!)
Hee!
HEE!
*manly hugs*
You did it! I love how Tony puts a little vicious pleasure into Uther's victory smile.
Awwww, prince pouty pants! Somebody needs a nap!
Who know a furrowed brow could be so sexy. (Who knew GILES could be so sexy?)
Awwwww. The fond farewell!
*sigh*
So noble and knightly. *sniff* My baby's all growed up!
"But... you're staying, right? Right? *woobies*"
"I have to go far away. Sire. Prince Arthur." The way his voice stumbles ever so slightly over those words, the way he uses his name instead of an honorific.... *flaps* EPIC, I'm telling you!
Goodbye, Sir Lancelot, my beautiful new boyfriend. We hardly knew you, and yet we all fell madly and head over heels in love with you. I'm sad to see you go. *sniff*
And thus ends the tale of Lancelot, and how he brought much pretty to the land of Camelot! (And maybe some angst and conflict, but whatever.) If you want the really full size of any of the caps (1280x704) you can either go to the comm they came from where they're up in a gallery (inadream_caps) or ask me for a specific one.
I hope you had fun! :)
