[twitter] What the Heck are Top Trumps?

[thatneedslube]

I'd love to help you out, Bradley, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this a card game? Who tops in fic? Because if you're looking for stories where Merlin tops Arthur, I don't really have any of those.



Oooh, you're looking for which Merlin characters are best at what skill? Well, we're going to have to disagree with you here, Bradders, even though we know you mostly made this list because of your hardon for Percival.

• Gaius: 100 keeping the magic a secret


• Merlin: 100 being the most recognizably homosexual character so that even the generic knights know it


• Sir Leon: 100 Badass Integrity


• Gwaine: 100 Drunken Master


• Percival: 100 Tickets to the Gun Show

But wait, we can expand that list.

• Arthur: 100% not interested in women until affected by a magic spell


• Morgana: 100 stabbiness power


• Gwen: 100% should have run off with Lancelot in series 1


• Male guest stars: 100% have a hardon for Arthur

Tell us your Merlin Top Trumps in the comments! You know, the ones you can't actually send to Bradley because you're a good person.

Top Trumps is a card game where each character gets assigned certain values for different characteristics, like age or magical power or strength or whatever, and you have to select a card you think will win in a particular category so people can try andb eat you with a stronger card. So you could say 'Gaius, most wrinkly-faced' and somebody could try to counter with fake!Old Merlin, and whoever has the highest value on their card wins.
