Gareth 🧸🔪 for the ask game if u want=)

🧸Headcanon about childhood

I think Gareth is actually a runaway. He didn’t tell his mother where he was going, he just left. But the journey from Kirkwall to Camelot gives a kid a lot of time to think and Gareth started to make up unfortunate potential outcomes in his head. He went into the kitchens not to try and one-up the competition, but to avoid his brothers seeing him and reporting back to their mother. He’s out of touch and didn’t know how they would react, so his anxiety made a mountain out of a molehill. Beaumains time it is.

🔪Headcanon relating to fighting/violence

While Gareth could technically be considered a protege of Lancelot, he tends to overthink the situation, and initially struggles to reach his full potential as a fighter for this reason. He can’t turn his brain off and get in the zone as easily as Lancelot or Gawain. But when he does, he can’t lose.

Oh Lancelot, loved by the king, loved by the queen

Another Arthuriana idea I had for a while. Guinevere design is much inspired by William de Leftwich Dodge illustration

the dragon’s clickbait 🐉♥️

[hey-im-okay]

Arthur and Merlin would absolutely stay up at night and talk shit. Merlin was meant to have left Arthur’s chambers ages ago but he just had to tell Arthur about the new gossip going ‘round the servants and then Arthur needed to rant about how annoying a visiting noble is -“I mean he’s even more annoying than YOU Merlin I can’t believe it”- and then it just spirals and neither of them can stop talking about the most random shit.

At some point Merlin just falls asleep, he’s not even in or on the bed really, half of his body is led on the soft covers and his legs dangle of the edge.

Arthur doesn’t even notice, continues talking until he himself drifts off.

When they both wake up in the morning Merlin has somehow managed the pull up his legs and curl up on the bed, a spare blanket that had been spread on the bed mainly for looks but was still absolutely soft was laid over him (he has no idea when he had grabbed it, he didn’t, Arthur did it-).

They don’t ever talk about it when it happens, the both just get up, Merlin helps Arthur change and then heads back to his room to get changed himself before going to Arthur’s breakfast.

Gaius is very curious about why Merlin seems to spending a lot of his nights in Arthur’s chambers but he keeps quiet, let them figure it out themselves.
