Merlin Opening (Skins Style!)

God, this was fun! I don't even care if it doesn't resemble the original opening. I had fun with it and oh my giddy aunt is this song ever so fucking cute!

I started watching Skins last summer and at first I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with it; on the one hand I felt I couldn't relate to any of the characters and the narcissistic exaggeration of their parents was a little annoying to me, on the other the writing was really good and the kids were actually really good actors. Eventually, I was able to look at each episode through the protagonists' points of view and I understood why it spoke to so many of its fans. In the end, I gave in and saw it as a pretty damn good series and certainly refreshing on the lines of teen drama.

So, to indulge in my fangirlishness over Merlin, I decided to make this. I think it makes sense, seeing as both Skins and Merlin are both really character-driven shows. And couldn't you just see so many of these characters as the characters from Skins? Arthur and Morgana would totally be Tony and Effy, Merlin would be Maxxie, Elena would be Cassie, Gwaine would be Chris, Vivian would be Michelle and in this case Nimueh and Freya are Naomi and Emily 'cause I think that pairing is sweet!

I actually have ideas of what would happen in this if this were actually a show, but I'll let you guys figure it out by watching the clips and just give you the implied pairings I put in...actually, I might even vid for some of these pairings 'cause I just find them so freakishly cute!

PAIRINGS:
Merlin & Arthur
Gwen & Lancelot (& Arthur)
Gwaine & Elena
Leon & Sophia
Morgana & Edwin (yes, these two again...I can't help it!)
Nimueh & Freya
Percival & Vivian
