Gods but the way people think Arthur was stupid, trusting Agrvaine so much, first, Agravaine was a manipulative bastard, who came just after Uther died, a time when Arthur sorely needed parental support, seeing as his Father died and in a way, his whole family was gone. Mother, already dead, father, his king, dead, his sister betrayed him, forgive him for thinking, someone who was his last link to his mother, who was manipulating him on daily basis into thinking that he's the only one who had good intentions and cared for him. At a time, when he was most vulnerable. Forgive him for thinking that person won't betray him. Forgive him for thinking he had little of his family left. Forgivr him for thinking, even after all that has happened he was still loved by someone of his family.
Gods but I hate agravaine more than Uther, more than Morgana, more than any other villain. The way he manipulated Arthur, Gods, that's legit breaking the whole man, I wonder how Arthur managed to trust people after such deepest betrayal. Nobody talks about it,
But to think even after all of this, he still accepted Merlin and loved him so much!

Okay poll time who do you want to be with Guinevere more (literally any adaptation. I’m talking Le Morte D’Arthur, I’m talking the Once and Future King, I’m talking Camelot, I’m talking Merlin BBC)

To my beloved bbc merlin fandom:
Can you send me wallpapers that I could make a phone case (cover) with? Preferably a simplistic merthur design.
I really want to customise one with a quote from my heart is readily yours, but I'm not this talented. My talent stopped at writing that fic lmaoooo
So I'd love to see your favourite wallpapers!

🫂 for arthur, 👽 for guinevere and 📓 for lancelot?
🫂Headcanon about Arthur’s friendships:
Arthur’s beloved but not many get to liking him. He’s an ideal, a symbol, godlike in such a way that the majority of people revere him and it puts up a wall that’s very difficult to surmount and develop close friendships. There are of course exceptions: Kay, who will always be Arthur’s no-nonsense big bro; Guinevere similarly, who always tells Arthur exactly what’s on her mind whether he likes it or not; Gawain and Yvain/Owain could fall here too, although they’re young enough to somewhat revere Arthur, there’s real trust there; last but not least is Lancelot who, again, worships Arthur, but there’s a mutual understanding which many of Arthur’s other relationships lack, and that makes them very close.
👽Headcanon about Guinevere’s weird quirk:
Guinevere was raised in nobility, a pampered princess. but she’s perceptive. Maybe it’s her giant ancestry, maybe she’s just got the same special something which makes Arthur and Lancelot so good at what they do, but she puts it to great effect while at her seat of the Round Table. She’s not easily intimidated, she can sniff out her “opponent’s” weakness quicker than they can formulate a rebuttal. She’s informed and lethal. It makes her a trusted ally and even friend of Kay. Gawain refers to her as “politicking assassin.” He also has this ability, but Guinevere’s a natural. She unnerves people. Mrs. Pendragon has claws and knows how to use them.
📓Headcanon about Lancelot’s hobbies:
Lancelot loves long horseback rides with no destination. Usually in accompaniment with someone—Arthur, Guinevere, his kinsmen, Gawain, Gareth. It suits him best when adventure finds him, he just has to be in the right place for it. He doesn’t wait around for people to come knocking on Camelot’s door. He searches for the call for aid. Aside from that, he does love a good game of chess with Guinevere. Arthur can play too but it’s like facing an apprentice, the King’s just not a real challenge. Lancelot should probably be letting him win (the way Owain does) but the Queen’s Champion has never been very good at social cues…

Arthur: Merlin says insane stuff all the time! How was I supposed to know this one was true?
Merlin: If anyone sits in this chair, they’ll die.
Arthur: See!

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
