Gaius, Kilgharrah, Morgause, and others probably: The future is never clear, there are many paths

The Disir and the Triple Goddess: oh lol, no, that doesn't apply to you lot <3

#bbc merlin #merlin #yes yes ive watched the disir episode again and i am having thoughtsTM #it's just such an episode where they do briefly touch on that destinies can be changed #while fate is something that cannot be changed unless the gods themselves and in this case the Triple Goddess allows it to change #again this is why the whole prophecy thing is in place before anyone involved is even born #Arthur's death Mordred's death even Morgana's death they were all decided because it wasn't destiny it wasn't this destined path #it was all fate in the end #even Arthur in this very episode is like I make my own path! then later when Merlin is talking about who he's destined to become #he says if it's fated it doesn't matter what i do it will still happen #and i think that really shows how Arthur ping pongs between having faith and being kinda secular? #anyway that's far from the point (i really cant help it i will tangent however i like :P) my point being here is like #there is an awareness that fate does exist and that there is a difference between it and destiny #and if anything destiny itself in the show is more fate - because what does change when anyone is given a vision? #every single vision comes true even if its a bit hazy around the exact details - i dont think there's a single one that is actually thwated #the future has many paths? lol yeah right - only the gods themselves can change the course for these legendary figures :P
