Oops, I started #Merlin.
It's been like ten seconds and I already want to shout about this precious boy's ears and also GILES so I'm just going to start this thread and a hashtag so you can mute as you wish. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Sorry, is Giles called Oother Pendragon? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
So this is basically like Smallville but for an Arthurian legend instead of a comic book superhero. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
HER HAIR! HER ACCENT! HER ATTITUDE! HER REFUSAL TO GO TO THE BEHEADING PARTY! I knew I'd love her but whew. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Me: Maybe this voice is his father.
Voice: *is a dragon*
Me:

MORGANA DOTH BARE HER SHOULDERS AND SLAY ME WHERE I STAND #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Gosh, I almost forgot what it was like to see a K'tay character smiling and laughing. Granted, I imagine it won't last much longer than this knight tournament but it's still happier than I've seen her in like three seasons of two TV shows. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
HER HALF-SMILE AS SHE SAYS HOW ANNOYING ARTHUR IS. hello I am gay #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Honestly, I'd cheat in a competition to go on a date with Morgana, too. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Gwen brought Morgana flowers to cheer her up because she's been having nightmares and Morgana said, "YOU cheer me up." I SHIP IT. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Know what I DIDN'T really need? A plague episode. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Now Morgana is standing up to the king to defend Gwen's honor. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Giles is yelling at K'tay and I feel like my dad is being mean to my girlfriend. So many emotions! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana just said "We must tell Uther," but for a heartbeat it sounded like she said Luthor. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
K'tay McGrawww manipulating men to do her bidding is my sexuality. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I don't know who this cave witch is but I like her Faith Lehane hair twists. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Oh no! K'tay is in a beetle coma! Her girlfriend is so worried! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Let's not leave the eerie stranger alone with the unconcious body of the most beautiful woman in the realm?! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
It's just a box of bugs, Merlin, nothing to worry about. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
This eerie man is smart and it's making me anxious. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Did the eerie man have two dads? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"Our village was sacked, we ran with what little we could carry." Glad those huge staffs with gaudy gems was on the short list. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I love that K'tay's brogue peeps through even when she is doing a British accent. IT CANNOT BE STOPPED. 
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Especially when she's agree. That "about'r" is pure Irish. The ink is starting to dry on that contract!! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I don't really understand how being the king's ward puts her at his right hand or what her position in the court is but I'm glad Morgana is around so often. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Oh gods, Morgana is dressed like Little Red Riding Hood and protecting a child BE STILL MY GAY HEART #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I would like to reiterate how physically unsettled I am every time Giles yells at K'tay. Morgana is perfectly in the venn diagram of Lucy Westenra and Lena Luthor and I want to PROTEC but also Giles is basically my second dad so I don't like when he's mean. #PunkyWatchesMerlin
I swear I know this wee lad. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
THIS BOY HAS PLAYED OPPOSITE KATIE MCGRATH AND GILLIAN ANDERSON WHAT A LIFE #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
If this sword doesn't end up in a stone I'mma riot. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Dragon: Take this far away where no mortal man will ever find it.
Merlin: Meh, this nearby lake will do.
(Not a stone but I'll take it. Assuming there's a lady in there.)
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Merlin: Meh, this nearby lake will do.
(Not a stone but I'll take it. Assuming there's a lady in there.)
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana just came in wearing PANTS and I audibly gasped. She said she knows how to fight and then I died. I am dead. PANTS!! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
SHE IS SWORDFIGHTING. I AM SCREAMING. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
K'tay had really perfected the waking-up-from-a-nightmare gasp/scream. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Also Merlin and Arthur are absolutely in love, right? We already established Morgana and Gwen are. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Yesterday I was trying to figure out why I've had Show Yourself stuck in my head so much lately. I've just realized it's probably because they say it A LOT on this show. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana had a nightmare. Must be Moon's Day. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Everyone gaslighting Morgana to make her believe she is less powerful than she actually is might become my villain origin story. Especially since the one person who understands what's going on with her is also DRUGGING HER. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Et tu, Merlin? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
AND ANOTHER THING why are we trusting this asshole of a dragon? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Here lies Valerie Anne. Cause of death: MORGANA SWORDFIGHTING IN. A. NIGHTGOWN. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
This emotional Gwen/Morgana reunion is GAAAAAY. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
KATIE MCGRATH IS JUST SO ATTRACTIVE. She was just doing this adorable smirk whilst dressed to the nines and I am just so, so gay. There's literally a troll pretending to be a lady and I don't care because K'tay. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Hi hello this epsiode of Merlin (2x05) and therefore this scene would have been recorded pretty close to when Repo! The Genetic Opera came out... #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
...so I refuse - REFUSE - to believe this is just a coincidence. REFUSE. #nichetweet #RepoTheGeneticOpera #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
These troll episodes are...vile. But K'tay face acts stunningly throughout. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Also I'm furious with this dragon for making me dislike a dragon. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Merlin sure does get knocked out a lot. Almost as much as Giles did in---OMG. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
She's even good at breathing. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
A HOT LADY KNIGHT #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana is like, "I knew I loved her before I met her, I think I dreamed her into life." #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I should really go to bed. But. LADY KNIGHT. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Oh my GODS Morgana is IN THE LADY KNIGHT'S BEDROOM. Send!! Help!!!!! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"I'm glad we've met know." GAAAAAAAAY #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I KNOW THIS LADY KNIGHT IS UP TO NO GOOD BUT I SHIP IT #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"You knew my mother?" "I knew her very well." HOW WELL, MA'AM?! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I keep almost using #Morgana because in my heart that's the true name of this show. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Welp. My ship just hit an iceberg. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
A witch named Freya?! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
This asshole dragon keeps insulting M'Lady K'tay and I have had QUITE ENOUGH. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Merlin just watched a wee boy gleefully run into Morgana's arms and saw her smile genuinely for the first time in a long time and HE'S STILL GOING TO RUIN THIS ISN'T HE #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
What's hilarious is that none of this would be an issue at all if Merlin had just told Morgana the truth about himself and also HER OWN SELF. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Ope. Druid man has made an enemy of me on this day. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I don't know why Morgana is dressed like she's going to the Oscars on this random Chyuesday but I am not mad at it. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Wait hold on is this badass swordfighting lady druid THE WIDOW?! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin #IntoTheBadlands
It! Sure! Is!! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Merlin: I have to stop Morgana and kill all her druid friends so no one uses this stone!!!!
Also Merlin: *IMMEDIATELY uses the stone*
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Also Merlin: *IMMEDIATELY uses the stone*
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
This douchecanoe of a dragon is now advocating for Merlin to KILL MORGANA. I hate him so much. YOU'RE A TRAITOR TO YOUR KIND, YOU MISOGYNIST ASSHOLE DRAGON. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
K'tay's lil worried face is hurting my feelings. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
GUESS WHAT BITCH, SHE LIVES. AND YOU'LL REGRET THIS, SIR. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I liked Merlin a lot until this very moment. He is dead to me now. How dare he. HOW DARE. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
STOP TOUCHING HER. YOU DON'T GET TO HOLD HER. THIS IS YOUR FAULT. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Oh good her not-girlfriend-but-only-because-she's-related has her now. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
HEY! GUESS WHAT! MAYBE MORGANA WOULD HAVE KNOWN HOW TO USE HER GIFTS FOR GOOD IF YOU ALL DIDN'T GASLIGHT HER FOR MONTHS ABOUT IT! AND DRUG HER! FUCK ALL THESE MEN. BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND, MORGANA. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I feel like they think having K'tay smile wickedly at the end of every scene is going to make me turn on Morgana because she's "evil" now but...it is having the opposite effect. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Where do I get one of these crystals that just show flashes of Morgana on a loop? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Bless Morgana's shiny silver trophy dress that keeps making an appearance. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Okay but THINK of how much better a magic mirror message would be if Morgaus was Morgana's secret magic girlfriend in the woods and not her sister. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
LONG LIVE THE RIGHTFUL QUEEN. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Her hair! Her dress! Her mischievous grins! Her accent in full throttle! Send help! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
This creature that is like the cutest Jurassic Park dinosaur combined with a grumpy old man is UNFORGIVABLE. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I can't believe I had to watch 37 minutes of that thing squirming around with ZERO Morgana to cleanse the palate. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
PURPLE!! So many outfit changes making up for the disrespectful lack of Morgana in the last episode. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
The lengths Morgana is going through to get the throne would make Cercei Lannister proud. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I'm not looking forward to the fallout of Gwen turning on Morgana but at least SOMEONE finally clocked her smiling evilly (and beautifully) to herself in plain sight. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana just announced this tournament and I feel like that should be her audition to be queen. She nailed it. So regal, so stunning. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I'm going to start living my life imagining Morgana is lurking mischievously around every corner. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I WILL HAPPILY HONOR AND SERVE YOU, MORGANA. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I SWEAR FEALTY #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Gwen at the roundtable! Hell yeah! KNIGHT HER, YOU COWARD. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
My kingdom for one (1) show that doesn't put Katie McGrath through a hellish emotional torment. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
The sword! is in! the stone! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
She has fully leaned into her powers and just took down so many men and is wearing a black cloak and I STILL LOVE HER. TEAM MORGANA. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"I'd rather drown in my own blood than see that day." Morgana has become quite the dramatic witch and I am LOVING it. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Guinevere is all but singing "Why won't he be the kiiing I know-he-is, the king I see insiiiiiide" while Morgana is a WHOLE 2020 moon. Season 4 is wild. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"Don't think I don't understand loyalty just because I've got no one left to be loyal to." Wild Woods Witch Morgana is my favorite Morgana yet. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
How dare Arthur tell Gwen she's as good as a knight and that he's proud of her MERE SECONDS after making fun of Merlin for "being saved by a girl" and saying he'd rather be dead than have that happen? SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR YOU, YOU MISOGYNISTIC TWAT. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
A: Gwen will be queen.
Morgana: Not if I have anything to do with it.
A: What are you going to do? Kill her? Blackmail her? Kidnap her?
Morgana: No, I'm going to bring a guy she had a crush on once back from the dead.
So extra, this one. Love her. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana: Not if I have anything to do with it.
A: What are you going to do? Kill her? Blackmail her? Kidnap her?
Morgana: No, I'm going to bring a guy she had a crush on once back from the dead.
So extra, this one. Love her. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Hot take: Gaius is the actual villain of this show. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I know they're doing this to me on purpose, like I am fully aware I am being manipulated by soft lights and tinkly music, but heck I am charmed by Princess Mithian. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Morgana is chasing Gwen through the woods and I'm just shouting KISS KISS KISS. It's been so long since two women shared a screen, feels nice, even though they're being pitted against each other. But also Morgana's casual cruelty atop a horse is HOT. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
My girl is back on her rightful throne and sitting like a gay and I'm quite pleased. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Also she's been hiding out in the medieval woods, where did she find eye shadow? Did she just rub plants on her face? I mean I guess she brought a man back from the dead, but cosmetic changes just feel beneath her, magic-wise. Not that I'm complaining. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
WHO IS THIS GIRL WITH A SWORD. BE STILL MY HEART. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
SMUGGLER WHAT IS THY NAME #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Are...are these smugglers named Tristan and Isolde? I...I have to go. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
He just pulled the sword from the stone, how is there a whole ass season after this? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
MORGANA HAS A SWORD. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. :runs in gay circles: #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Isolde is tragically dying in Tristan's arms what a surprise who could possibly have seen this coming I am so shocked 
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
#PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
If Gwen was destined to be Queen of Camelot, and it's Morgana's rightful throne, there was another solution, JUST SAYING. #Morgwen #Gwengana #TwoQueensToRuleThemAll #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
KHALEESI #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I'm back on my #Merlin bullshit and Morgana is really out here starting off season five looking better than ever, bashing men over the head and riding around via WOLF as if I needed any more reasons to love her. Long live the rightful heir to the throne. #PunkyWatchesMerlin
HOLY SHIT IS GWEN'S NEW HANDMAIDEN GAY FOR HER?! I thought she'd be a forced love interest for Merlin but THEY ZOOMED IN ON THEIR HANDS TOUCHING! Her face went into a panic I know well! (Don't really answer, I've almost made it to the end unspoiled!) #Merlin #PunkyWatchesMerlin
Also is this actress related to Evan Rachel Wood? #Merlin #PunkyWatchesMerlin
SORRY JK IT'S A WEE ANN WALKER #Merlin #PunkyWatchesMerlin
Morgana just strutting into the sea of soldiers on her horse LIKE A FUCKING BOSS. I swear fealty! Again and again! #Merlin #PunkyWatchesMerlin
IS GWEN SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?! GWEN, WHO HAS BEEN COMPLICIT IN MAGIC, GWEN, WHO WATCHED HER OWN FATHER BE PUT TO DEATH? PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS A RUSE SHE'S PULLING #Merlin #PunkyWatchesMerlin
Also excuse me there is a conehead alien all of a sudden did I rage blackout or #Merlin #PunkyWatchesMerlin
Morgana being sweet to her lil dragon bb!!!! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Is it really so surprising Morgana wants the "key to all knowledge"? After she spent her life being lied to, about her lineage, about her dreams, about her powers? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Oh thank goodness. I don't think telling Gaius was the best idea but I'm glad to know Gwen hasn't been possessed by a troll or something. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
No but really I don't remember there being aliens in the Sword of the Stone. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
MORGANA JUST SILENCED A MAN WITH A LOOK AND I AM AROUSED #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"I want to put his head on a pike and watch the crows feast on his eyes!" Never lose that drama, babe. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
If Morgana just died by being stabbed in the back by the boy she once saved I WILL stop watching this show right now. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"People change, perhaps you should give him the benefit of the doubt," - Gaius, who wrote Morgana off before she ever did anything wrong. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Bless Morgana being too stubborn to die. Okay that's all for tonight but I'm almost done and even though I'm pretty sure this won't end with Morgana standing on a pile of the bodies of all who wronged her a girl can dream. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
HAHA was I not supposed to recognize K'tay in old lady makeup? I'd recognize those eyes (and that bone structure) anywhere. Can't fool this ol' lesbian. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I can't believe we're five seasons in and STILL taking bad advice from the Asshole Dragon. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"There can be no place for magic in Camelot." Merlin truly is an idiot. I had hopes for him but he was raised by an old fool and an asshole dragon and he wasn't strong-willed enough to forge his own path. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"You mustn't blame yourself." Yes he should! He tried to play god and he made the wrong choice! Where the hell is Morgana, SAVE ME FROM THESE FOOLS, MY QUEEN. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I'm sorry but Morgana torturing Gwen just to be the one to comfort her is PEAK chaotic evil gay. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Honestly? I love this for Gwen. Let her and Morgana be Evil Queens of Camelot together and live happily ever after. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Merlin just killed one of the two most powerful sorceresses on Earth after she helped him...on his quest to usurp the other. How are they still trying to tell me he's the hero of this story? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Update: Sorceress isn't dead. I hope she steals Merlin's magic. He doesn't deserve it. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
I hope Gwen retains some sympathy for Morgana. Everything Morgana told her was true, even if she had been betrayed so many times she thought she had to trick Gwen into seeing her side of things. She can still be redeemed!! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Glad the episode I decided to watch on my lunch break is full of the true and rightful queen, Morgana Pendragon. Snappin' necks and takin' names. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
She's leading a band of men through the woods like a boss and I LOVE HER #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Okay. It's finally, finally time for the two-part series finale. Surely Morgana will win and kill everyone who wronged her and take her rightful place on the throne of Camelot with Gwen as her queen and this journey will all have been worth it. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
"I blame myself for what you've become." Oh that's convenient since it's LITERALLY YOUR FAULT. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
That can't possibly be it though, right? The high priestess and rightful queen can't have been taken down with a cheap shot? #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Long live the queen I GUESS. She is the second best person on the show and the rightful queen is gone... But WHEW I am salty!!!! Not even a blaze of glory!!!! People love doing my girl McGrath so dirty! #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
Thanks for everyone who went with me on this months-long journey. It was worth it to see K'tay become the high priestess she deserves to be, even if no man respected her as such. Long may she reign. #PunkyWatchesMerlin #Merlin
