His name... MERLIN

@secretmerlin / secretmerlin.tumblr.com

Side blog of lnkycat - a blog solely dedicated to Merlin ~!

and u know what... in contrast to merlins trauma which is much more evident in canon (like we get to SEE all the suffering he goes through for arthur) and acknowledged by the narrative. gwen suffers SO much and sacrifices so much for arthur's sake too but because it’s never acknowledged by the show to the same degree we’re just supposed to ignore it.

and gwen doesn't even have a greater reason to believe in arthur or any reassurance that her suffering isn't in vain. merlin has a dragon telling him that arthur is The Most Special Boy and his trauma will be worth it to achieve world peace or whatever, but gwen genuinely sees arthur's greatness with her own eyes and stands by him because she loves him!!

she forgives uther killing her father, she forgives arthur breaking her heart time and time again. and when arthur banishes her and she's basically trafficked into sexual slavery by helios, she still risks her life to defend arthur from morgana. not to mention that she survives being attacked by uther's ghost and kidnapped and tortured by morgana and much more

and she endures it all with such grace and becomes a strong and compassionate queen. SHE brings about camelot's golden age, the destiny that merlin was told arthur would fulfill. and she doesn't do it because some magic sword told her it was her fate, she just does what she believes to be right. she's so full of love 🥺

pretentious moment incoming but why is everyone's idea of fashion so fucking boring these days. why the fuck did my manager just ask me "what's with the scarf". "what's with the scarf" fuck man do I need a reason to wear a faggy little scarf now? you could just say "nice scarf man". what's with your attitude
