corilannam | He's my shippy boy

Goodness, Merlin fandom has been really good to me the last 24 hours. I'm hoping this is a good omen for the S3 premiere tomorrow!

It seems like every time I refresh my flist, there's a new bit of Merlin delight:

* First, the joy of every slasher's heart, Mr. Bradley James is asked by The Digital Spy which he thinks is the stronger relationship: Arthur's romance with Gwen or his bromance with Merlin. He does not hesitate even for a second. Full interview is here, if you'd also like to hear him be amusingly undiplomatic about Morgana.

And if you can't click at the moment, here's the transcript:

Interviewer: "And finally, which do you think is stronger: Arthur’s romance with Gwen or his bromance with Merlin."

BJ: "Bromance with Merlin. It’s there for everyone to see. He’s been round for dinner at Gwen’s. He spends all his time with Merlin. No contest."

This is, of course, with Colin sitting next to him, just off camera. ♥♥♥

* Colin and Bradley were also adorable on The One Show the other night.

* And the latest thing -- I still haven't figured out who made Colin and Bradley do this or why, but damn, they are adorable doing whatever it is.

* In Merlin fanworks, the big bangs finally finished posting earlier this week. I've been trying to finish reading one per day, and I have to say, I have yet to read one that was not really excellent. The master lists are here, courtesy of our miracle mod,

the_muppet, if you need some help organizing your reading. I tell you, this challenge has been almost enough to sell me a Kindle.

* And finally, given the special interests of my flist, I can't help but point out this little fan art gem -- the cutest darn tentacle porn I've ever seen.
