I don’t want a romantic/sexualized relationship with Merlin and Arthur on screen. I want the love they have for each other to show on screen, but I don’t want romance. But that’s a contradiction! No, no it isn’t. Someone once said that every story is a love story, and it’s true. Look at any book or film and try to find some sort of love in there. Love of violence, love of family, love of another, love of oneself, love of nature, love of art, love of sport…it’s there.
This, this, this, this, this times a million! They do have love. Of a brotherly and friendly nature. Why does all love have to be sexualized and taken in the most literal way?
There has been no indication, regardless of what the staunch shippers think, of them having a romantic love for one another. I see trust, friendship, and brotherly love. Both would die for one another. And that kind of friendship is hard to find. That goes deeper than romantic love. That's a whole other level.
