I didn’t have any expectations when I started shipping Mergana. I mean, I knew from day 1 that she would turn evil, I just wasn’t sure how. I knew they’d never get together because that’s not how the story goes. I knew he’d probably kill her. But the way they made her evil opened up so many possibilities, and the writers passed them up. They never went into how betrayed she must have felt when she found out who Emrys was, or how much Merlin must have blamed himself. We didn’t even get a magic fight. We got “I blame myself for what you’ve become” (which I appreciate) and then bam, sword. Even a sword fight would be sufficient. If they wanted to do this, why not just have her evil at the beginning like most pop culture Arthurian legend stuff? They set up all of this character development and showed her struggle in season 2, and then Merlin’s betrayal, and they just forget about it? It’s still one of my favorite ships, but HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE A MAGIC FIGHT BETWEEN THE MOST LEGENDARY MAGICAL MORTAL ENEMIES OF ALL TIME?!

I don’t think you people understand. I have wanted Morgana to know for SO FUCKING LONG. Yes, I want Arthur to find out, but fucking hell, think about how betrayed she must feel all over again. Merlin is the WORST possible person it could have been. I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW.

If Colin Morgan and Katie McGrath ever got together and had a kid, the world would explode from its beauty.

mordred singing busted from phineas and ferb to lancelot and guinevere would be pretty funny I think

I think being a shapeshifter would fix me

That look they give each other makes it look like they already know what their destinies will be…

someone tell me that arthur's "well, well, he fights with both hands" isn't an "ohoho he's bi" moment

In Prose Merlin,Pendragon is crowned as rightful king by Ambrosius Aurelius. The Danes that Vortigern brought into the land rebel against him and the Christians. Pendragon in turn lays siege to Angier's Castle.

In the Vulgate, Pendragon is made King. The Saxons that Vortigern brought into the land fight him. And he lays siege to Hengist's Castle.

Merlin tells Vortigern that the red dragon (symbolizing Vortigern) will be burned by the white dragon (symbolizing Constance's sons, Pendragon and Uter)

Vortigern asks Merlin where Constance's sons are. Merlin tells him that they'll invade in three month's time. Merlin immediately flees to Fr. Blaise in Northumberland as Vortigern fortifies his castle and tower.

Pendragon and Uther arrive to the british shores. The people defect to them upon learning who they were. Vortigern and allies make their last stand in the Castle. Pendragon lays siege on the castle and has it burned. Vortigern and allies are all burned alive in it as well.

And thus the White Dragon burns the Red Dragon.

When supper was ready the knight put Sir Gareth in the place of honour before the lady. “You’re an uncourteous knight, sir,” said she, very angry, “to set a kitchen page before a damsel of high degree, you would do better to put him to sticking pigs.” — p. 52, "King Arthur's Wood"

Illustration made in 1904 by Elizabeth Stanhope Forbes for a book titled, "King Arthur's Wood", whom she also wrote. It is based on Thomas Malory's Book IV of "Le Morte Darthur". Published in London by Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., Ltd.

when you think about it, arthur resented guinevere for almost two decades, refusing to love her, because it was his being wed to her that took him away from his first wife.

it's nuts how he just let her run away with lancelot, thinking that they would both be happy that way, only to find out that allowing so had caused an irreparable rift in this kingdom. And then he found out that the gods really meant for them to be together, because if they're not then britain would fall. One word from Caradoc and he realizes he and mevanwi, could never be, so he returns Mevanwi to Caradoc without question.

So then he retrieved Guinevere from Lancelot with all his martial skills (yet without much fanfare), and britain stabilized again.

he allowed that to kill him inside so much

and it made him want to go back home, to his true home, to rome, he was captured, enslaved gone for years...

and britain fell apart again coz he went away from guinevere

and when he returned, he remembered his first young true love, and he remembered that he never stopped loving, never stopped caring... and that he can finally care for guinevere too.

and he he got her back, and the people became whole again

guinevere is really arthur's british empire, it's nuts
