So first of all Gwen did have a personality and I have never once said she didn’t (would love to know where you’re even getting that lol bc most of my posts are about how she did have a personality even with the bbc limiting her screen time). Calling her a blank bed warmer is neglecting the majority of her scenes. She is a good and just human who strives to always be kind. Wanting the writers to include her more isn’t because she didn’t have a personality, it’s because she did and they chose to put her under a spell in season 5 instead of letting her being the character she is.

You missing her character beats is actually a you problem that probably needs to be looked into. You’re taking it so very personally that I think Gwen is the best character of the show, and honestly you're just continuing to tell on yourself by not seeing a woman as a fully realized character.

Wtf do you mean Gwen is a bed warmer? How did you miss her personality? She shows up for people in almost every episode she’s in and genuinely affects change in most of the scenes she’s in. Her ‘drive’ is to love completely and truly, and she achieves that in more than just Arthur, for an entire country worth of people. Her ‘spirit’ is always trying to do what’s right for as many people as she can.

I’m assuming you like Merthur bc of this comment and that might make an ass out of me but nothing you said here is at all original. It’s all takes I’ve seen a hundred times before by people who like Merthur. It’s fine for you to like Merthur, but I do think we should confront the side of fandom that continues to make Gwen into a background character when we see over and over again just how influential she is on characters and the plot, especially Arthur.

Really, the stagnant character in the show is actually Arthur specifically in his relationship with Merlin. He treats Merlin the same in season 5 as he does in season 1 and never tries to view his father’s genocide as bad. He changes for everyone else in the show other than Merlin and I give Gwen most of the credit for the pieces she was able to get him to check his privilege on.

If you can’t see the love Gwen and Arthur have for each other (I don’t understand how you can’t but whatever) than whatever but to insult the woman of color for a personality she has and is used as a contrast for other characters actions more often than not (Agravaine, Uther, Morgana, Elyan, Lancelot, Merlin, and Arthur) is somehow more sexist than what the bbc did.

Do I want a story where Gwen is allowed to have faults more than just the lacking confidence and slight awkwardness she shows up until season 4? Absolutely. Do I think people like you would crucify her for it? Yep! Am I glad the bbc didn’t do that? Kinda yeah since you people are choosing to make it such a problem.

She is a fully realized character despite your best attempts to make her into something she’s not. And really that says more about you than it does me.

I believe that the entire ‘Arthur is the greatest warrior alive’ thing is complete propaganda that Uther spread and Arthur whole heartedly believed. We know in season 2 Leon makes a point to say that the knights hold back due to the fact that Arthur is the prince, and I know he ended up winning that tournament but the assassin was killing his competition so I’m giving that just to Arthur being an ok fighter and that someone was trying to take him out.

Hey everyone, i’m ashamed of making this post, but as many of you know i’ve been constantly sick for the past 2 months and a half. it’s been very hard for me to get any income while i’m also trying to get better, that plus not being able to keep looking for a stable job and being in massive debt is making it really bad for me to focus on anything. So i come here asking for help in case someone can give me a hand with rent please? i’m also looking for any job so if you have information about any remote job it’d really appreciate that, i’m fluent in english and spanish and i’m also a fast learner

i have until the 30th of this month to be able to pay rent, so i’ll be sharing my links in case anyone can give me a hand, if you can’t help sharing this post helps a ton too. also if you want to talk feel free to slide into my dms and i’ll try to reply as soon as i can

thank you everyone for your help and always being kind to me
