#ygraine pendragon

[whydon-twego]

When Uther decides to sacrifice a life for a son and Destiny chooses the life of Ygraine Pendragon, Uther begins a genocide against the people who possess magic. Little does Uther know, however, that this will cause the magic to concentrate in the earth, to concentrate all at once and give birth to the most powerful being that has ever existed on the face of the earth. But what Uther also does not know is that the magic has split and half passed to his son Arthur, dormant, to keep him safe until his other half goes to find him and they can finally be together and reunite all of Albion under two great leaders.

When Arthur and Merlin meet for the first time, Arthur has a secret and Merlin has a secret. It's the same secret.

Anyone else wish Arthur summoned Ygraine instead of Uther?

I can just imagine Ygraine thanking Merlin for all he’s done to protect Arthur and it meaning the world to Merlin because for starters, it’s acknowledging what he does and also, it’s gratitude for Arthur’s life and Merlin and Arthur’s relationship (platonic, romantic or friends, or whatever else they can be seen as) without the responsibility of titles and destiny there.

And obviously, Ygraine meeting Arthur and them actually having time together would be great, possibly a magic reveal in there somewhere too, but I can’t get the idea of Ygraine thanking Merlin for everything out of my head

Plus The Death Song of Ygraine Du Bois would just turn out better. She wouldn’t try and kill the knights or Gwen or whatever unhinged shit Uther did, and I always imagine her as a good parent for Arthur. Even if it’s usually just an excuse for more angst at the tragedy of losing the one parent (aside from Hunith, obviously) who truly and unconditionally loved Arthur.

But still

We were robbed of Ygraine in the show.

i’m so disappointed that we didn’t get to see a really big conflict regarding Arthur’s birth when the show was building up so much to it back in season 1 and 2. And i feel like we could have seen so much more.

we could have seen uther’s corruption from a wise king turning into a tyrant over the years, we could have gotten more about ygraine’s origin story and who she was as a person, and we could have gotten uther-nimueh/magic relationship before arthur’s birth. they could have shown to us so much more why arthur, merlin and gaius cared so much about keeping uther alive even though he’s a bitch 24/7

okay yes, there was that one episode but with morgouse, but arthur thought it was a lie at the end, and it never got revealed to him

Having dinner at the Pendragon estate.

Morgana: Daddy—

Both Uther and Gwaine: Yes?

Everyone stares at Gwaine. Uther is aghast and his wife Ygraine is unsure whether to be amused or drink more wine. Morgana is slightly horrified she said that out loud. Gwaine as expected had a smug look on his face.

Arthur of course wishes he didn't hear that, he could live the rest of life without knowing what his sister calls one of his best mates.

Merlin on the other hand decided to add his own two cents in.

Merlin: [patting Morgana's shoulder in solidarity] It's okay, it's happened to me as well. I once called Arthur daddy in front of my family too. I also call him master whenever he punishes me for being his naughty baby girl—

Arthur: [face palms] Merlin.

Merlin: [nnocently looking back at Arthur] Yes?

Arthur: [growls] Shut. Up.

Merlin shrugs his shoulders and does the gesture of zipping his mouth closed, you can hear Gwaine chortling in the background with Uther's face even more aghast. Ygraine decides drinking(a lot of) wine is the way to go. Arthur knew they should've stayed home.

Snow and Dirty Rain (Merlin)

Richard Silken, "Snow and Dirty Rain" // BBC Merlin

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4

-

and we've got a part three! with merthur this time! and significantly less angst!

I tried to make this one a bit like a duet, if you pay attention you can see that the words are closer to one of the boys vs the other, rather than spread across the pictures like I usually do.

Gaius, Hunith, and Leon will be in the next part, I promise. I've got it all sorted out.

-

the first one is arthur and merlin in ealdor. I was gonna do the "there is no more rope!" scene for the literal climbing out the window, but I figured the more metaphorical rebellion against uther was better.

peep the poetry with the scene about poetry! haha

I chose the labyrinth of gedref for that catalog line because I wanted to include it, and also I found it fit because they were trying to bring back the food/harvest - like dawn to a field

also that kingdom line was too perfect to not use for Ygraine's sigil! I'm so happy I got to fit it in!

prompt:

Because Ygraine and Uther had to resort to magic, I would assume she had a difficult pregnancy. So Ygraine goes behind everyone's back and meets with Balinor to ensure Arthur's safety throughout the pregnancy. But because all of Balinor's magic comes from his dragonlord abilities, Arthur technically absorbs dragon-related magic. Ygraine figures the magic is fine because Pendragon had to come from somewhere. And because of the prophecy, the magic recognizes Arthur and just settles happily.

But then Merlin comes along and Arthur's magic starts to grow because of how often Merlin uses his magic to help Arthur. Arthur's body is just like "oh, more dragon magic, yay!" Sooner or later, chaos ensues.

Sorry, I just love the idea of Merlin and Arthur having a special dragon-related connection .

Balinor and ygraine watching as Arthur summons uther and not her:

Afterlife exists in BBC Merlin and we all know that since we've seen a lot of ghosts, raised corpses, spirits etc etc.

But it is interesting how those souls look like in the real world. How does afterlife affect them? Because they are all different, I believe that real life events shape their forms. Their past affect them after death.

One of the first souls we see is Ygraine, summoned by Morgause. She died before the show but it is known that everyone loved her. She was kind, careful and, as she said, she would give up her life again for Arthur.

Here she is. She looks almost alive. She's in gold colors, glowing in light of all those candles. She can even touch Arthur as she hugged him earlier. She was pure. Her soul was pure.

She was summoned by magic and died because of magic.

_____________________________

And this is how Uther looks like.

He looks like a ghost. Like a deadman in black clothes. He is there to kill people. To make their lives worse. There is no warmth from him, there is no light around him. All the candles were off the moment he appeared. If Ygraine was ready to die again for Arthur, Uther was ready to kill Arthur if that helped him regain 'Camelot's honor'.

He died in the castle and appeared in the castle.

What if he looks so creepy because of that blue-ish white filter?

____________________________

Well, this is how Balinor looks like.

He also has this blue-ish filter. But that's all. He looks pretty much alive or if it was a nighttime. Nothing has changed in him after his death (only the colors). And he is glowing.

We see him in the Crystal Cave, surrounded by magic light. Because, after all, he was a sorcerer himself.

Even his clothes. Nothing changed in him. Despite having such a cold colors he looks somehow warm. He is there to help Merlin, his son. He is there to give hope.

So yes, after all of it, I believe that afterlife does affect the way the souls look like and how they appear.

even if it's full of love all a ghost can do is haunt (x)

[an-entity-i-think]

I feel like Gaius slowly got used to the way things changed from magic being free to being a death sentence but what if he got Amnesia and the last thing he remembered was Ygraine being pregnant and the kingdom being free and excited for the birth of the new royal heir??

How would Uther react? 👀

Hey, what do you think of Ygraine and Uther and Nimueh x Ygraine

I don’t have a whole lot of thoughts on Ygraine/Uther because obviously we never see them interact, however, I do honestly love the trope of someone going kinda crazy when the love of their life dies. And I would say that’s basically what happens to Uther.

However, given what we see of Uther, it’s hard for me to ship him with anyone because I hate that guy lmao. I would definitely be interested in seeing what they were like together. I imagine she was his moral compass and was the only person who could sway his mind. I think he was most likely head over heels for her.

Uthaine: 35/100

Nimueh/Ygraine is interesting because I never would’ve thought of that on my own, there isn’t much to go on, but now that it’s entered my brain…

I think it’s worth thinking about. I think the idea that they were secretly in love, but Ygraine had to be with Uther because of her duty as a noble (and also because she actually did grow to love him too) and Nimueh had to just accept that is exciting. And then obviously the idea that Nimueh and Uther, the two people who loved her, caused her death together is delicious.

I’m intrigued by this. But it won’t receive too high of a rating since there’s almost nothing in canon to latch onto. But the more this love triangle shapes in my mind, the more I like it lol this might consume my thoughts the next few days.

Nimaine: 40/100

Feel free to send me ships to rank :)
