Imagine being Morgana for a moment. You have this complex plan to get the prince's lover killed and then this random old geezer appears, takes credit for it, then bounces.
I'd put everything on hold after that. I'd wanna know who the fuck that was.
Lmfao its even worse than that.
Imagine youre morgana. You come up with a plan to prevent Gwen from becoming queen of camelot by having her killed for being Arthur's gf.
She wouldnt become queen if Arthur isnt king, and killing her isnt going to stop Arrhur from being king, but your attempts on him and Uther arent going too well bc of Arthur's twink manservant so were taking a break. You get them busted. So far so good.
Arthur negotiates down Gwen's sentence down to banishment. Well, she cant be queen if shes banished.
Arthur is threatening to leave with her? And Uther is banishing him too?!?! Hell yeah! Best day ever! No Arthur means the way is open for you, youve won already!
Oh shit that poultice you laid to make Gwen be killed for magic was found and now Uther isnt letting Arthur leave bc hes 'been bewitched' Fuck. Well, at least Gwen's out of the way.
And who the hell is this random ass old dude taking credit for the enchantment
And so the day ends and youve landed yourself solidly back at square one. You goofed yourself. You sabotaged your own plans by invalidating Arthur's reason for leaving camelot with the "oh no! Magic!" Fear. You shouldve seen that stopping at step one: get them busted was going better than you thought and you shouldve let it go as far as it would.
Also imagine youre gwen and arthur and youre in love and then urher finds out and you guys are like "well ok well go to another country and settle down together" and then gwens set to be killed for magic and she spends the night awake watching the stake shell be burned at be built (second time this has happened to her personally) and then this random ass old guy shows up and claims he actually bewitched the both of you into falling in love.
So then gwen gets off of death row and meets up with arthur and theyre both like "???? So do you love me??? Yeah???? I love you so what the hell magic enchantment was he talking about????"
Absolutely baffling to three of the main cast that this guy showed up having done nothing and then escape execution at the last second. Their best guess is that Deagoon probably woke up and decided to ragebait Uther for the sheer love of the game.
