"Gone their master, gone their sun."

[HD + earphones]

I've joined the overload of videos about the finale of Merlin super-late, but here I am!
As impossible as it may seem, that damn episode killed all my video inspiration and I really struggled with this, I think it shines through because I am not really happy with how it's come out...but at least I can show you I'm not dead! -unlike certain characters we know Dx-

This song is sung for a character's death in SWATH, and I wanted to give the video a sorta "requiem" feel because the finale was a tragedy for everyone and it depressed me for days (along with some wonderful but heartbreaking works I saw on here). Never in my wildest imagination would I have ever thought, when I started this journey with Merlin, that all of my beloved characters would end up dead or forever mourning their lost ones and the loss of their supposed destiny. Everything just feels so unfair and crushing, especially when trying to work with old episodes and seeing all of those moments of hope and joy and comparing them to the bitter end. To be honest, I wasn't happy at all with how some crucial aspects of the ending were "solved", and that's also probably a reason that kept me from vidding it so far. For example, I hated the way they disposed of Morgana so cheaply, no final meaningful talk, no redemption or even the actual magical fight between her and Merlin I had been patiently waiting for since s3 (no, pushing each other around doesn't count and only looks cheap after a while). It was as if she was utterly unimportant, not one of the main characters they spent 5 years with, let alone one of their most interesting and compelling ones...and let's not get started on all the unanswered questions they STILL left hanging.
However, what I did love was how heart-wrenchingly beautiful Merlin and Arthur were. As the two halves of destiny's coin, there wasn't another way they could live their last adventure but together and with Arthur finally getting to know his sorcerer's truest self...no more layers between them, just their unique bond of friendship and brotherhood. And right then, Merlin had to let go of the one and only constant that had given him purpose, lose the one he cared for the most, and on top of that had to live a thousand years thinking he had failed him and waiting to find him again. I don't think I can imagine a more heartbreaking fate than his :'(
I also felt immense ache for Gwen, who didn't even get to say goodbye to her love, who lost everything, her husband, even her best friend because I got the impression Merlin never went back to Camelot (or did he? another mystery there :/)...she couldn't even allow herself the time to cry because she had to be strong for her people.
And my poor Gwaine T___T his death was so unnecessary?! So.much.pain! I think I'm only starting to cope properly now, with the help of uni distracting me ^^'' anyway, things I didn't like and things I did aside, this series will always hold a piece of my heart, and I will never stop vidding it. I already have a few ideas, and I'm in a Merlin contest which has just started...so expect to keep seeing me vidding my favourite story and characters in the world!

...and if you've gone through all my rant, you're officially a hero! :D
