I don't think we as a fandom talk enough about how arthur actually desperately didn't want to be a prince

#“I’d sacrifice my place on the throne for her to see another sunrise” #“We can leave Camelot and never come back” #“If I wasn’t a prince I think we’d probably get on” #“Sometimes I dream of leaving Camelot. Become a farmer.” #if a guy threatens to leave the throne for you once he loves you #if he threatens to leave the throne a hundred times he loves leaving the throne #he wanted his destiny probably less than merlin wanted his own that's insane #he just wanted a farm. and his mom. :(( (via @rosemarytales)

yesterday a friend told me to look up this thing called "archive of our own" because she thought i would really like it... no one will ever achieve my level of Normie Passing

Do not cite the deep magic to me bestie i was the one who wrote it ✌️

was it casual when you drank the poison for me was it casual when i drank the poison for you was it casual when you said my life was worth a hundred of yours was it casual when the beast of the old religion said we were two sides of the same coin was it casual when my mother said the same thing was it casual when you said you’d run away and take me with you was it casual when you were borne of the same magic that courses through my very blood. was it

bbc merlin has a lot of faults but i do think the way they blithely ignored the existence of christianity was very funny of them

"#'old religion' they said. and then simply said nothing of a new religion" yeah Uther Pendragon, noted athiest. Entirely agnostic court. It's crazy that there's no belief system backing anything up. Like, we're going to get by on vague prophecies but also prophecies are magic which is evil. Divine right of kings but no divinity. Mirrors and mirrors but no windows.
