I thought rewatching sex education before s3 was a good idea but now I'm just feeling sad because I'm past the average age to lose my virginity, not by choice but because I'm unattractive for many reasons, and because I also have issues with doing it solo. Like... None of the content of the show is relatable for me really. Well, some of the issues are but unlike for the characters, my issues don't get resolved.

Theory that Gwaine used to be a bandit

(yes I'm aware that I've headcanoned this in many of my fics but you're getting evidence this time)

In 2×04 we get a cameo from Lancelot, now working as a cage fighter for the bandit leader Hengist. He wears chainmail (who knows where he gets it from but I digress) and, for all intents and purposes, looks very much like a knight. Apart from one small detail.

He has a scrap of cloth tied around his right hand. Knights, of course, wear gloves, but Lancelot is not wearing gloves, and only one hand is covered. And this scrap of cloth looks remarkably similar to one that crops up in s3:

It's never explained why Gwaine wears this cloth and it disappears altogether in s4 and s5, being replaced with the standard issue leather gloves. What's interesting, though, is the way the material is arranged. Lancelot’s covers his knuckles, leaving the skin just above his wrist exposed, whereas Gwaine doesn't mind getting his knuckles out but is very careful to keep his wrist concealed, even having the leather cuffs come up very far.

Later on in 2×04, you can see that Lancelot’s knuckles are bruised, so it's presumable that he kept his hand covered either as a flimsy attempt at protection or to stop his hand from bleeding everywhere. When he's not fighting, Lancelot removes the material.

But Gwaine removes his when gearing up to fight the two assumed knights in 3×04.

He's not trying to protect himself from injury, nor does there seem to be any injury to speak of. Unless Gaius and Merlin treated something, Gwaine's hand seems largely unblemished when we get a shot of it when he wakes up in Camelot.

Aside from those two moments, one of the only times we see his hand fully is in the boot-cleaning scene with Merlin. Shortly afterwards, when Merlin has cut his finger on the enchanted swords, Gwaine is back with the cloth.

So, to recap thus far: Lancelot ties a scrap of cloth around his right hand when fighting for bandits to protect his skin. Gwaine ties a scrap of cloth around his right hand when he is not fighting and doesn't appear to be protecting any injuries. He doesn't wear it as much when he's just around Merlin. The bulk of the coverage for Lancelot is his knuckles, whereas the bulk of the coverage for Gwaine is his palm.

So what if that scrap of cloth is the mark of a bandit? After all, in 2×04 we see several other characters sporting such an accessory, including Kendrick, Hengist's right hand (pun not intended).

Now, Kendrick's is tied in a similar manner to Lancelot’s, rather than Gwaine’s, but he isn't the only one who wears a scrap of cloth: several of the bandits in 2×04 also wear one, but apparently there is a 10 image limit soo...

The cloth that Kendrick has is more similar to Gwaine’s than it is to Lancelot’s. Lancelot’s is still in relatively good condition, especially since it's worn in combat, but both Gwaine’s and Kendrick's are significantly more frayed. Say that the cloth is the mark of a bandit -- you could argue that Gwaine takes it off to fight the 'knights' because he is equal to them, being of noble blood, and wants to do away with any thoughts of him being a bandit. Or perhaps the cloth isn't the true mark, but one lies beneath.

Perhaps there is something more permanent marking the bandits as such, like a scar on their palm. Perhaps Gwaine wears a cloth to cover up the mark, just as Kendrick and his men do to maintain the mystery before Gwen reaches Hengist. Perhaps the only person he feels comfortable revealing the souvenir of his past to is Merlin. Gwaine is one of the only knights to constantly wear gloves in the later seasons -- Percival never wears them, Elyan infrequently, and even Leon and Lancelot don't always wear them. But Gwaine does, even when he's just wandering around the castle (thinking of the 4×06 scene where he tries to get food from Merlin). Say that he does have a brand or another scar that marked him as a bandit. No way would he want to expose that in front of the other knights, particularly if he also had to explain how he was actually nobility.

We don't know what happened to Gwaine after Caerleon refused to help them. We know things didn't go well and there was perhaps something that happened with his sister (he calls her a toad but doesn't elaborate further, which makes me think she did something pretty terrible that he'd rather just brush past), so it doesn't seem completely implausible that the only way to eat was to join a group of bandits. After all, where better to learn about enchanted swords than in an environment where any means necessary are taken to be able to survive and gain as much money as possible?

Maybe Gwaine started off like Lancelot, once, using the material to protect his injuries. Lancelot removes the material outside of combat, when he's with Gwen, as if recognising that the person he is in the arena isn't the person he truly is. Gwaine removes his around Merlin. With Merlin, he doesn't have to pretend to be someone he's not. He doesn't have to be ashamed of his past. The uncovering in the fight with the 'knights' is a warning, if there is indeed a subtle mark on his skin: he knows how to fight and has potentially killed just as many people as they have. And he will not play by the rules.

In conclusion: Gwaine was a bandit before meeting Merlin. And, judging by the state of his covering, he was one for a long time.

Would anyone be interested in some Merlin rp? Or just some rp set in a similar world with OCs e.g. Knight x Princess? Preferably smut

Sir Gwaine in The Diamond of the day | 5.13

Me watching Merlin as an 8-12 year old when it first aired: loved the first few season, mainly watching for the cool creatures, giggling and blushing when Arthur scenes were on because I wanted to kiss him, lost interest for the last two seasons and didn't really pay attention.

Me rewatching Merlin twice in the space of a few weeks (and watching The Night Shift in between) as a 21 year old: Enjoying the plot on the whole, maintaining an interest throughout (but still believing the first three seasons were the best), wanting Gwaine to r a i l me, wanting Arthur, Gwen, Lancelot and Percival to also rail me, but mainly Gwaine, I'm a slut for Gwaine, literally watched the second time just for him, have seen 3x04 at least five times these past two weeks, and we all know WHY I watched TNS.
