Own opinion now but I think that's probably why Merlin could just be himself around Lancelot. Once he knew, and was cool with it, he never had to hide it. I would have liked to have seen something of a 3-way relationship with Lancelot, Merlin and Gwen as Lancelot and Gwen did have feelings for each other
‘He doesn’t know your story like I do’ hits so hard because lance was the one who knew about Merlin’s magic and not Arthur. Also, this is such a beautiful and well put together video - sincerely, a hardcore Merthur shipper💕
@@elysiaedits2010 and you transported the whole theme most excellent with your superb editing throughout the video. 3:10 is such an emblematic moment in their friendship when Lance rushed to see what is wrong with Merlin while Arthur was concerned but didn't move. made me a happy camper
I love Merthur, I'm not gonna lie. BUT damn if Lancelot and Merlin don't have a beautiful relationship- I'm 100% convinced that Lancelot loved Merlin, and that's why he sacrificed himself in that ep. I'm crying now TTATT
that is the only explanation that makes sense. Lance loved Gwen and as queen she made him promise to keep Arthur safe but it was his love for Merlin (and Lance knew, he just knew Merlin would sacrifice himself for Arthur) that made him do it and *not* his promise to Gwen, that was just an added bonus
@@elysiaedits2010 I think Gwens brother should have sacrificed himself. Was lost without Lancelot 😢😢😢😢😢 Made me depressed when he was no longer their. 😂😂😂
i swear Lance might be the only other person I shipped with Merlin as much as I did with him and Arthur no lie like my freaken babies omg the chem they had was beyond me
No really cause Merlin has chemistry with all the knights I swear. Lancelot and Merlin can compete with Merthur even with just limuted episodes together.
i'm really crying😭😭😭😭😭 lancelot and merlin had such a beautiful relationship, i'm so sad bc they both deserved to be happy aaaaaa i miss them so much :((
I feel like Merlin was somewhere in Lancelot’s heart as eventhough Lancelot promised Gwen to protect Arthur, he instead helped Merlin when he was about to die on going back to Camelot, leaving Arthur and his men. ALSO, when Lancelot was telling Merlin that Arthur should’ve made him a knight aswell?? HELLO?? That conversation was sugary sweet my goodness. Plus, Merlin was about to sacrifice himself for Arthur but stopped by the Cailleach during this, Lancelot was already walking towards the veil. And finally, the most obvious one. Lancelot’s way of looking at Merlin so passionately. 😍😍
The fact that being a prince/head knight/king is the equivalent of being cheer captain is hilarious lol p.s. Mercelot is amazing and this video deserves more views!!!
Arthur had so many scenes with Merlin over the course of five seasons there is no surprise they got along well and both actors obviously enjoyed working with the other. Lancelot otoh had just a few eps to show us what kind of guy he is but he made good use of it. if this edit wanted to sell us the idea of him being the ideal partner for Merlin then congratulations - it worked! Merlin is so popular everyone would want him given half a chance. it seems however, he made up his mind early and the lucky bastard in question knew it and made anyone else back off.^^
I love this so much omg!! Them with this song hits extra hard because I'm convinced that Lancelot knew that Arthur was Merlins destiny, the man he'd willingly dedicated his whole life and purpose to, and he knew exactly that he could never take his place, and to ensure that Merlin and Arthur could stay together and to save Merlin, he sacrificed himself. Merlin did love him too, and the fact that he could never have Arthur, as well as Lancelot could've never had Gwen, led to the beautiful intimate relationship he had with Lancelot. I'm convinced that he was Merlins first love, his first teenage crush, and later their bond only grew stronger, given the fact that he could unapologetically be his entire self around Lance and didn't have to hide who he was. "Lancelot needed you and you needed Lancelot. Your destinies were entwined." (Gaius to Merlin while they were watching Lancelots departure in S1 E4) I personally believe that thats way more intimate than "You're like two sides of the same coin" aka whats said about Arthur and Merlins relationship in the show. I really need more people to get into the Mercelot side of this fandom, there are not enough fics and edits of them 😭💔
One of the best Merlin edits ever. Clever, funny, but also very poignant in the way that it tells the story of Sir Lancelot, bravest and kindest of knights.
Merlin always felt so at ease with Lancelot. the only person apart from his mother and Gaius knowing about his secret and allowed to survive the episode (and some more). Colin is such a great actor making us see the difference in his demeanor compared to all other characters (including Arthur) very clearly. 😙
I ship merthur but godamit that's great ! That song fits very well with the scenes, exspecially with the 'she's cheercaptain' and it shows arthur in the crown and 'and I'm on the bleachers' lancelot become one of his knights. ( And ofc the ' she doesn't know your story like I do ' with merlins magic) It's really awesome!
It still marvels me how perfectly the vid matches the song (and it helps that You Belong With Me was one of my favorite songs from way back when and very nostalgic)
I ship the hell out of merthur but this is a work of art omg I'm getting into this ship. I'm just a fan of when people recognize that Merlin is amazing and Lancelot definitely gave him due credit
I found this video a couple months ago and I've rewatched it so many times. It lives rent-free in my mind. I am OBSESSED with Taylor Swift AND Merlin/Lancelot (it truly is 500 times better than Merlin/Arthur) and I honestly can't believe that someone else understands. 10000/10 thank you so much for making this 😭💖
I have only ever shipped Mercelot/Lancelin while watching this video, but while watching this video, I ship it hard. I thought Gwenarthur lacked sufficient chemistry, so in the world of this ship, I’d put Arthur with Mithian and Gwen with Leon or someone.
@@elysiaedits2010 It's so clever. Every single clip ties into the song lyric so well! It's just a joy from start to finish. Please create more of these.
ok I'm a hardcore merthur shipper but UGH Merlin and Lancelot are so CUTE and i love them and i will never forgive the writers for killing lance off. also this edit is amazing and making me tilt more to the mercelot side of things-
well, he was the only one who knew about his magic outside family (Hunith and Gaius) or dead (Will, Freya and everyone else who got a whiff of it later in the show) - except for Mordred
Omayghad!!!!! Literally they deserved better 😭 everything just clicked, I'm a super solid Merthur shipper, But ackkkk MerLance deserves it too, ackkk my heart is breaking. Like while arthur knows nothing about merlin, Lancelot knows everything!!!! Why?! why are you doing this to meeeeeee 👉😭👈
¿como supero este video? si es simplemente perfecto y no, no me encuentro llorando por el hecho de que este video combine tan bien con la cancion y por el hecho de que se notaba que Lancelot amaba a Merlin.
I can't be the only one to think that Merlin is bi Like he like that one girl that die, Freya? Don't really remember her name- But... The tension between him and Lancelot or with Arthur.... Love it .
This kind of video is a perfect childhood pie : TV-at-my-grand-parents-house flavor, in early-middle-school-music dough, taste better when served between 1 and 4am with a generous glass of adults-problems-to-forget
pin-point accuracy with the song lol. Also, I'm still mad merlin's magic was never revealed until the last like 3 episodes, that's why I think lancelot is one of the best characters because he was able to marinate in the story potential of knowing that merlin's a sorcerer, especially so early on. I know it's like destiny or whatever idk it's dumb, it's just wasted potential.
THIS IS SO PERFECT OMG I thought I was the only one shipping them instead of Merthur. (Don’t get me wrong, Merthur is also good but my main is def. Lanceot and Merlin)
So pleased Lancelot knew about Merlin's magic
Own opinion now but I think that's probably why Merlin could just be himself around Lancelot. Once he knew, and was cool with it, he never had to hide it. I would have liked to have seen something of a 3-way relationship with Lancelot, Merlin and Gwen as Lancelot and Gwen did have feelings for each other

okay as much as adore merthur, lancelot was merlins first love no criticism
bitch hell yea!!!
agreed
lancelot loved merlin so much!!!
oh yeah definitely
True that!!
‘He doesn’t know your story like I do’ hits so hard because lance was the one who knew about Merlin’s magic and not Arthur. Also, this is such a beautiful and well put together video - sincerely, a hardcore Merthur shipper💕
thank you so much! that line is the one that sparked the idea for the video :)
Omg are we calling him Lance, now? Because I’m into that
@@elysiaedits2010 and you transported the whole theme most excellent with your superb editing throughout the video. 3:10 is such an emblematic moment in their friendship when Lance rushed to see what is wrong with Merlin while Arthur was concerned but didn't move. made me a happy camper
I agree!!! Merthur is otp but Lancelot x Merlin’s friendship was so good 😢😢😢
I love Merthur, I'm not gonna lie. BUT damn if Lancelot and Merlin don't have a beautiful relationship- I'm 100% convinced that Lancelot loved Merlin, and that's why he sacrificed himself in that ep. I'm crying now TTATT
lancelot gave his life for merlin it’s so messed up
that is the only explanation that makes sense. Lance loved Gwen and as queen she made him promise to keep Arthur safe but it was his love for Merlin (and Lance knew, he just knew Merlin would sacrifice himself for Arthur) that made him do it and *not* his promise to Gwen, that was just an added bonus
Loved him like a blood brother dude.
@@elysiaedits2010
I think Gwens brother should have sacrificed himself. Was lost without Lancelot 😢😢😢😢😢
Made me depressed when he was no longer their. 😂😂😂
0:30 "And she'll never know your story like I do" Oh my gosh my heart 😭💘
i swear Lance might be the only other person I shipped with Merlin as much as I did with him and Arthur no lie like my freaken babies omg the chem they had was beyond me
their chemistry is off the charts and they only had SIX episodes!!!
And Gwaine also. They're best friends literally
Loved mercelot
Gwaine might object to that. if he had his way Merlin would belong to him
No really cause Merlin has chemistry with all the knights I swear. Lancelot and Merlin can compete with Merthur even with just limuted episodes together.
i'm really crying😭😭😭😭😭
lancelot and merlin had such a beautiful relationship, i'm so sad bc they both deserved to be happy aaaaaa i miss them so much :((
Everybody knew the story so we already knew what's gonna happen

IM CRYING I MISS LANCELOT
HE WAS THE BEST

lancelot loved merlin sm and he wasnt even trying to hide it huh😪
for real he was so in love it’s unreal
I love this so much omg!!

This needs more viewers and possibly more likes as this is one of THE best Merlin ships out there.
Yeah, right
@@Who-yo6wm I was being sarcastic merthur is obviously first then it’s merlance
@@azazeldryu851 oh ok
im a full on merlin/lancelot supporter the bait for them was SO good
why tf is it so perfect??? like everything bout this video just clicks
thank you so much! once my brain thought of the idea I couldn’t rest until I’d made it lol
One of the best Merlin edits ever. Clever, funny, but also very poignant in the way that it tells the story of Sir Lancelot, bravest and kindest of knights.
I’m so late but this is such a kind comment thank you 😊

Ah yes Armor: the medieval equivalent of short skirts lol
Love this video so much, I keep coming back!
Gwaine,Arthur,Merlin and Lancelot are the best

This is the cutest video I've watched and I'm laughing so hard at the same time!
thank you haha
This is so cute! Wonderful edit.I’m currently rewatching Merlin on Netflix and the bromance between Lancelot and Merlin was 😍Thanks for capturing that
Ok but the clips fit wayyyy to well with the lyrics 😭
convinced miss swift wrote this song about them actually
I ship the hell out of merthur but this is a work of art omg I'm getting into this ship. I'm just a fan of when people recognize that Merlin is amazing and Lancelot definitely gave him due credit

ah omg thank you! im so glad you enjoy it ❤️ and they are so much better than merthur you are so right!
"I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like" - Lancelot listens to Kilgharrah 😂 so true
the editing is full of those gems
I HAVE NEVER SHIPPED MERCELOT THIS HARD IN MY L I F E
YOU GET IT!!!!!
I have only ever shipped Mercelot/Lancelin while watching this video, but while watching this video, I ship it hard. I thought Gwenarthur lacked sufficient chemistry, so in the world of this ship, I’d put Arthur with Mithian and Gwen with Leon or someone.
HOW TF IS THIS SO PERFECT!! I'm obsessed🥺
thank you :))
A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.. TRULY BEAUTIFUL 😍😭
Omg I love this!!! !! Lancelot Totally had a crush on Merlin 😂😂🥰 also Arthur as the GirlFriend worked SO well!! This was a beautiful video 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Arthur really has "cheer leader vibe" =)))) I laughed my ass off
I watch this every day. Thanks for creating it.
wow that’s means a lot. thank you for watching it!
@@elysiaedits2010 It's so clever. Every single clip ties into the song lyric so well! It's just a joy from start to finish. Please create more of these.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Merlin fandom we keep thriving.

THIS WAS SO GOOD
THANK YOU!!
I never knew that I need this ship but... well I think I need it now. Fanfiction? xD
😭😭😭😭😭 i want a lancelot
Elysia, you are THE BEST!!! THIS SONG DESCRIBES THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO GOOD!!! AMAZING!!! - ps. multi Merlin shipper
wow thank you so much!!! YOU are the best :)
ok I'm a hardcore merthur shipper but UGH Merlin and Lancelot are so CUTE and i love them and i will never forgive the writers for killing lance off. also this edit is amazing and making me tilt more to the mercelot side of things-
ur such a genius
thank u sm
He really was the one who understood merlin 😭
well, he was the only one who knew about his magic outside family (Hunith and Gaius) or dead (Will, Freya and everyone else who got a whiff of it later in the show) - except for Mordred
This is unnaturally incredible
WOW thank you!!!!!!
the song fits perfectly ❤
I love that Kilgharrah is the music Arthur doesn't like XD
it fits too well 😂
STOP, this was so good. This just made my obsession with the show so much worse 😩. I’m too close to rewatching the whole show again.
honestly I have to resist the temptation to rewatch everyday!! I’m so glad you like it!!
this is the most perfect video that exists (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
taylor swift? queen
I like this edit so much! every second is in perfect timing and you are so talented!
OMG this edit is everything >> I ship Lancelot and Merlin soo bad!! Almost as much as I ship merthur lol but this was so cute great job 👏👏
This is levels of perfect that I can't describe
This is just wonderfully edit love it 😍 Merlot love them
thank you ☺️
This is beautiful!
I need more mercelot videos in my life
The way lance looked at Merlin 😢😢.if any one ever looked at me like that I'd kiss them
PLEASE I'm obsessed with them bye I can't do this rn
LITERALLY cannot stop thinking about them
I’m simple ,I see Merlin
I click.
thank you for making this! i love it!
thank you so much for watching it!!
didn't know i needed this but wow yesss please
I love that edit!!!! the best one I've seen!!!!!
thank you so much!!!
I'm crying 😭 this is beautiful, I'm in love with Merlot
Is it just me or is this much better than the original music video?
what an honour ❤
Omayghad!!!!! Literally they deserved better 😭 everything just clicked, I'm a super solid Merthur shipper, But ackkkk MerLance deserves it too, ackkk my heart is breaking. Like while arthur knows nothing about merlin, Lancelot knows everything!!!! Why?! why are you doing this to meeeeeee 👉😭👈
arthur will never know merlin’s story like lancelot does!!!! it’s the sad truth
pure art...... pure gold
Im litterally crying
¿como supero este video? si es simplemente perfecto y no, no me encuentro llorando por el hecho de que este video combine tan bien con la cancion y por el hecho de que se notaba que Lancelot amaba a Merlin.
currently on s4:e2 ANS THEIR CHEMISTRY IS SO GOOD
why did i never notice the look at 1:47 ???? he glanced over and smiled at lancelot and I never noticed coz I was too caught up in the merthur...
😭😭😭 this is literally so perfect
(I’m a big merthur shipper though)
I can't be the only one to think that Merlin is bi
Like he like that one girl that die, Freya? Don't really remember her name-
But... The tension between him and Lancelot or with Arthur.... Love it .
why did this fit so well
if this is bl, Everyone be having the second lead syndrome too.. cause Lancelot will surely be the second lead
At 3:06 I shouted "NO! WHY??" And I'm kind of concerned about what my roommates might think about me
it hurts me every time
them >>>>> merthur
FINALLY someone who understands!
Lancelot is very handsome
This kind of video is a perfect childhood pie : TV-at-my-grand-parents-house flavor, in early-middle-school-music dough, taste better when served between 1 and 4am with a generous glass of adults-problems-to-forget
don’t mind me scream singing and being hit hard in the feels
true art.. pure art!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Beautifully done! 😍
My man didn’t get Merlin or Gwen. I feel for him, I loved Lancelot
SO TRUEEEEE SO TRUE
YOU GET IT
@@elysiaedits2010 YOU get it.. heritage video
I recently got to S4 E9 and my friend sent this to me afterwards.
This is so cute and funny at the same time lol
thanks :)

люди всего мира восхищаются этой работой!!!!! СПАСИБО
Sir lancelot was brilliant he was a great friend
Thank you it was fun to watch
Thank you
Thank you it was fun
Thank you he was
Good to see a typical Tuesday night for Lancelot and Merlin is lying three feet apart in the most uncomfortable looking positions possible.
Fantastic
Wait- (on my 100th viewing of this vid...) did Lancelot cut his hair to look more like Arthur?!?!
I never noticed that you’re on to something!!!!
THIS IS SO PERFECT OMG I thought I was the only one shipping them instead of Merthur. (Don’t get me wrong, Merthur is also good but my main is def. Lanceot and Merlin)
🤣haha this is lovely and sad at the same times 😭
what i was going for!!!
Oh god. I'd forgotten how young Colin looked. xD
