Dick Grayson subbing simply cannot be allowed to happen. Not because he’s against it or anything it’s just that his arch game is LETHAL and the man moans and whines so loud that the morning after people literally think it was YOU getting fucked. This man is a WHORE and not ashamed of it. Pegging Dick Grayson will have you thinking with the fake dick between your legs and in his ass
dick grayson moans like a bitch when getting fucked. he’s literally unable to shut the fuck up, not even a gag can quell the steady stream of moans and whines that leave his mouth as your hips buck into his.
don’t you DARE tease him, because he’ll get so loud and whiny the neighbors will think it was you who was getting piped last night.
you’ll still your movements, and. he’s instantly whining under you as he fists his cock, moaning, “why’d you stop?? ungh- don’t you wanna fuck me? please fuck me.” he’ll whine and cry as he fucks himself back on the pink plastic of your strap, murmuring between gasps, “so mean… fine, i’ll do it, shit- i’ll do it myself.”
also he has 0 volume control. just loud as fuck all night.

not to be a bitch, but it's feeling more and more like the fandom is reducing/has reduced Hunter to just being Willow's boyfriend Caleb, and nothing else lately.

AMOR A PRIMERA VISTA
GEKKO (MATEO) x reader pt.1
pt.2 (smut)
summary — you've despised cliches since you were a teen. love at first sight? lame. cafe shop love story? not even believable. getting someone's number after only 5 minutes of talking to them? who even does that? someone letting you stay at their house because of something going wrong? weird and borderline risky. but. . . maybe your life is a cliche.
note — i know i haven't wrote in a while but i'm back! and this is a little bit different from what i usually write so sorry for my other followers! anyways, i had to write about gekko because i love him so much and the lack of fics about him on anything is criminal. i haven't wrote in so long so i might be a little rusty. this is probably going to be three parts, and this is more of a backstory to the relationship, so it's pretty slow paced
w/c — 3.3k
not proofread '' sorry for any mistakes
Tumblr media
you slumped over the counter, glancing up at the clock. it read 4 o'clock, and you let out a loud groan. you still had two hours left until you could finally go home and relax with a cup of hot chocolate.
it was warm inside the cozy little cafe, but you knew with a look outside that the walk home was going to be freezing and you dreaded it. rolling hills of white were all over the streets and sidewalks, and the sun was beginning to set as the streetlights began to dimly light the roads. little crystals were falling rapidly, and you knew that eventually it'll turn into a snowstorm.
no one was inside the cafe at the moment, everyone most likely staying at home away from the stormy weather. as you turned to make yourself a drink, the bell above the door alerted you to a new customer.
"hello! how may i help you?" you locked eyes with the newcomer.
woah.
he was attractive, in a way you couldn't pinpoint. maybe it was his hair, a lime green that you would've never thought would look good on anyone but him? or was it his eyes, a bright hazel with a playful twinkle in them. maybe it was how he brightened up the whole cafe full of muted colors with his vibrant clothes and bright aura.
you could already tell he has a good personality.
you shook yourself out of it. you're over thinking it. you never analyze people this hard.
you watched as he broke out into a smile. damn, even his smile was cute.
"can i have a cup of orange juice?" you nodded and grabbed a cup to write his order on it. you thought it was cute that he wanted orange juice, but you also pushed that thought out of your mind. why would it be cute he wanted juice?
"can i also have a vanilla bean frappe?" he added on once you set his cup down.
oh. that means there's someone else.
you begun over-analyzing everything again. obviously with those looks he'd have a girlfriend. how do you know it was a girl? because who else would drink that drink. you know you were being stereotypical, but there's just no other reason he'd come in here alone during all this snow.
you didn't know why it bothered you so much, but it just did.
no way you were already crushing on someone you haven't even had a real conversation with.
you wrote his second order on the cup and asked, "is there anything else?"
"are you okay? you look mad. did i do something?" he said instead of answering your question, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"no!" you shook your head, not realizing that you smile had been wiped off your face. "i was just thinking."
you turned around to grab the orange juice that you had premade that morning from the fridge.
"are you sure? it looked like it was something i said."
"no, you didn't do anything."
"then you must be thinking of something pretty bad. is there something on my face?" he began moving his fingers around his lips and cheeks to get off some imaginary debris.
"there's nothing on your face," you laughed as you put the lid on the orange juice cup and got to work on the frappe. "it's perfect."
you meant to say "perfectly fine", but you were so focused on the machine in front of you, you didn't realize that you didn't quite say what you intended to say.
"perfect?" you could hear the smirk in his voice as you realized what you had told him.
"wait, i meant like, perfectly fine, y'know?"
"so my face isn't perfect?"
"you know that's not what i meant," you hurriedly tried explaining yourself.
"i'm just playing with you, chica," you let out a little smile at the spanish and finished his second drink.
"here you go. one orange juice and one vanilla bean frappe." you slid him the drinks and two straws.
"you're getting this to-go, right?"
"nah, i'll drink it here. it's too cold outside anyways."
"these are both for you?" you were almost relieved about the fact he was going to drink here. of course, that doesn't completely mean that he doesn't have a girlfriend, which is highly unlikely.
"you'll see," he winked at you as a cute yellow thing appeared behind him.
"what is that?" you exclaimed. not in fear, but in curiosity.
"he's wingman. he loves vanilla bean frappes, so i decided i could get him one today."
you almost laughed at how you would've never thought this drink would be for that.
"i thought it was going to be for your girlfriend or something like that," you admitted.
"girlfriend? you're funny chica. i don't have one."
you could jump with joy right now. you knew that you usually don't act like this and think like this, but if you're doing it now, there had to be something special about this boy.
you hummed as he slid into a stool at the counter so he could still talk to you while you worked.
"was that what was bothering you?"
he was smart, but you weren't going to tell him the truth.
"no, of course not! i just met you, it'd be weird if i was upset by that."
you watched as wingman devoured their drink somehow, while the man kept his eyes on you like he was examining you. you flushed and began to make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, not able to wait two hours to the end of your shift.
"that's true," he agreed as he sipped his orange juice.
before the silence afterwards became awkward, you piped up.
"what's your name?" you questioned.
"mateo. but some people know me as gekko. what about you, chica?"
you told him your name and he smiled, saying it back to you.
"i like it. it fits a cutie like you."
you felt your face turn hot and you turned away to make sure he couldn't see.
"thanks," you huffed as you tried making your blush less noticeable.
mateo let out another laugh and you noticed yourself smiling at the noise.
after you had successfully calmed down and your cocoa was ready, you went over to sit next to him.
wingman let out a noise, and you saw that he was already done with his frappe.
"hey amigo, i'll get you some more later, okay?"
it seemed to be content with that answer, and continued gnawing at the straw.
"is it always this quiet in here?" mateo asked.
"not usually. i think it's because of all the snow outside." your gaze went over from his eyes to the window and you nearly gasped.
"holy shit, there's no way i'm getting home in that." there was nearly seven inches of snow on the ground, and the snow was obviously picking up speed.
"how far do you live from here?"
"it's like a 15 minute walk. but i don't even know if i'll be able to walk outside at this point."
"i could walk you over to my house." he offered. "i know it sounds weird because we just met, but you're not going to be able to make it home in this weather and my house is just less than a block away."
you contemplated his offer. you could tell it was obvious he wasn't a murderer, and he was most likely the same age as you. plus there was no way you were getting home tonight and you didn't want to stay in the cafe or make your friends attempt to pick you up. plus you could hang out with mateo a bit more.
you shrugged. "if that's really okay with you."
Tumblr media
the two of you talked all the way until 6:00, you not having to serve any customers due to the inclement weather.
you had already locked everything up and wiped everything down, and now you were outside in a huge fur parka, which did nothing to stop the brutal cold wind from slapping your face.
thankfully, you had an extra jacket for mateo, who would've froze to death in his regular clothes. he led you down the road, and the two of you continued talking about things such as school and work. apparently mateo couldn't disclose much of his job, but it seems like he really enjoys it.
the two of you had made it to his house, and you sighed in relief when you felt the gust of hot air caress your face.
you made sure not to trail any snow into his house, majority of it already melted by the time you had hung your jacket up on his coat rack.
he led you to the living room, and you plopped down on the couch as he said, "i'll be right back. i'll get you some clothes so you can take a shower." you nodded and he left, leaving you to glance around the room. there were pictures of him with a blue and yellow haired girl, and also another one of him with an equally beautiful woman with piercing purple eyes.
before you knew it, he was back with a stack of clothes.
"this will probably be too big on you, but i made sure that it was my smallest sizes.
"thanks," you beamed.
"i'll show you where the bathroom is. it's connected to my room, so i hope that's okay."
you acknowledged him with a tilt of your head and followed him up the stairs.
"i'll leave you to do whatever you need to. just call me if you need anything." he shut the door behind him once the two of you had made it to the bathroom.
you quickly took off your clothes and stepped in the shower, finally able to take a long hot shower. not wanting to make his water bill skyrocket with a one hour shower, you hopped out after twenty minutes, only to realize something.
"fucking hell," you grumbled. you forgot to ask for a towel. from what you could see, the towels weren't being kept in the shower room.
"mateo?" you called out loudly.
you heard a "yeah?" in response.
"i forgot to grab a towel!"
you swore you heard him giggling. then you heard a knock at the door.
"here, i'll just hold the towel out." he said from behind the door.
you opened the door, snatched the towel, and closed it.
"thank you," you voiced.
"no problem, hermosa,"
you've never bothered learning spanish, so you noted in your head to search up the meaning of that later.
the clothes he gave you enveloped your body, the t-shirt going all the way down to your knees and the sweatpants falling off almost every time you took a step.
awkwardly holding the waistband of the sweats, you walked out the bathroom to see mateo lying on his bed scrolling away at his phone.
"are those too big?" he turned his attention to you.
"just a little," you sarcastically said. "but it's fine since i'm going right to sleep."
"not gonna eat anything?" he asked.
"i'm fine. i ate a while ago and i'm not hungry."
"here, you can sleep on my bed. i'll sleep on the couch."
"it's your house. you can sleep on the bed. i've already inconvenienced you enough by coming here."
"you haven't inconvenienced me at all." he shook his head. "fine. we can both sleep on the bed, if that's fine with you.
"as long as you're not sleeping somewhere uncomfortable, that's fine with me."
"i'll go take a shower. you can get going to sleep first."
you agreed as he scoured his drawers for clothes and then went into the bathroom, leaving you in his dark room, the only source of light a lamp on the nightstand.
you made yourself comfortable under the blankets, closing your eyes while snuggling into the pillow, getting a whiff of mateo's cologne.
you stopped yourself from taking deep breaths, not wanting to be a creep by enjoying the smell.
"i barely know him," you murmured to yourself. sure, you had been talking for more than two hours and you're staying at his house, but that gives you no reason to be acting like you've known him for months and have had a crush on him for that long.
a few minutes passed and you perked up at the sound of the door of the bathroom opening and closing, and then a weight on the mattress.
"did i wake you up? sorry," he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck when you turned over to watch him get into the bed.
"no, you're fine. i was still awake." you lied. you were close to going to sleep, but some part of you doesn't want this night to end.
"remember how i said your face is perfect on accident?"
"mhm," he laid on his side so that the two of you would be facing each other.
"i wasn't lying. i think you have a good looking face." that was your terrible attempt at flirting. it might've been bad, but you could see the look of surprise on mateo's face and his cheeks turn a rosy pink.
"means a lot coming from a pretty lady like you," he responded. "if you work at that cafe i might have to come over a lot more."
now your face was turning red.
"i'd always love seeing you come in." you let out a small yawn.
"go to sleep. i'll be here in the morning."
you knew he'd be here in the morning, but you didn't want the night itself to end. you still had so many questions to ask him.
you wanted to know him.
but against your will, your eyes shut and didn't open even when he brushed a piece of your hair behind your ear.
Tumblr media
the smell of pancakes woke you up.
you realized that you were in the spot mateo was sleeping, and your arms were taking up the whole bed. stretching, you slid out the bed and padded down the stairs and into he kitchen, seeing mateo humming to himself while cooking.
"you can cook?" you asked, and mateo jumped a little, before realizing it was you.
"good morning to you too. and yeah, i can. does it seem like i can't?" he teased.
you acted like you were thinking about his question.
"hmmm, maybe." you put your hands up, shrugging with the corners of your lips upturning.
"i'm a really good chef, believe it or not. wingman loves my food."
"if wingman loves it, then it must be good." you said as he handed you a plate of eggs and pancakes and you took a seat.
you took a bite and nearly moaned. "this is so good."
"i told you," he winked as he turned off the stove and sat down in front of you.
the two of you ate in peaceful silence, music from the radio the only thing breaking the silence.
"can you dance?" he suddenly questioned.
"not really. never had to."
"i should teach you how to dance bachata. it's easy."
you knew that you were terrible at dancing, and whatever he said was easy was probably not.
"i don't know..."
"i'll teach you. then how about we watch a movie? i don't think you'll be able to get home soon still. the snowstorm is still going on." you totally forgot about the snowstorm. if it was still going on, there was definitely no way you were making it back to your house.
"fine. but i warned you."
he led you to the living room and began teaching you moves, usually having his hands on your hips to tell you to emphasize a move or to lead you through it.
you knew that he saw your blush, and you swore that he was smugly grinning because of that.
"i told you i sucked at this," you groaned after trying to learn a move for ten minutes.
"you're decent at it," he assured you. "you just need a bit more practice."
you focused on him, and that's when you realized the small space in between you two. that made you turn even more red.
"something wrong?" he noticed.
"it's just a little hot in here." he probably knew you weren't talking about the heater.
"let's take a little break then."
you laid down on the couch. "isn't it crazy how we went from you just wanting some drinks to me at your house learning how to dance bachata?"
"we could be here doing something else but..."
"something else?" you shot up. you knew exactly what he was talking about.
"nah forget it. i have some other things i need to do before we get to that point."
"other things?" now you were really curious.
"you'll find out after the snow melts."
"can i have a hint now?" you were eager to know what it was.
"a date."
Tumblr media
it's been four months since you had first met.
the first date the two of you had was amazing. he took you out to a carnival, where he got you a big teddy bear and you got to ride a ferris wheel for the first time in your life.
you also got to meet his other little friends, dizzy and moshpit.
the two of you had been on multiple dates, once every two weeks during the first month turned to once a week the second, until eventually you guys were hanging out every day.
you decided that today was when you were going to confess your feelings.
mateo had convinced you to learn how to skate two weeks prior, and today you wanted him to help you perfect the kickflip. it took you all this time to learn how to ollie, and you think you're ready for the next level.
the skatepark was empty, and the sun was setting, leaving a golden hue on everything. especially on him.
it made his tan skin look radiant and his hair stand out even more than it usually does. you knew that if you looked into his eyes that the speckles of gold would be sparkling in pools of chocolate.
the two of you made it to a relatively unobstructed and flat part of the park, and he began by seeing what your kickflip was at right now.
"all you need is some more height and a bit more power, and i think you'll be able to do it." he encouraged you.
you followed his directions, getting close to landing it every time you tried.
you fell once, but he quickly picked you back up while the two of you laughed about it.
the sunset turned from a painting of colors into a black to navy gradient, the stars shining brightly if you squinted enough.
after almost two hours, you were ready to quit trying, but mateo wanted you to do one more.
"this is the one, i can feel it."
"whatever you say, hermoso."
you attempted one last time, trying your hardest. and before your eyes, the board successfully flipped from under you and you landed cleanly on the board.
you quickly jumped off, running towards him. he met you in the middle, and you exclaimed, "i did it!"
"you did it ángel," he smiled.
you looked up at him, and he noticed you lifting your arms up to his neck.
"creo que te amo (i think i love you)" you whispered.
he chuckled. "those spanish lessons have been paying off, huh? me estás volviendo loco (you're driving me crazy)"
he closed the gap in between you finally granting your wish of being able to feel his lips.
you pulled him as close as you could as he rested his hands on your hips. neither of you could get enough.
he pulled away. "you have no idea how long i've been wanting to that."
"i've wanted to do it since i first saw you in the cafe." you said breathily.
"why did we wait this long?" he shook his head as he went back in for a second kiss
Tumblr media
i hate this sm i'll make up for it w smut in part two i swear

This is where my brain is…
Tumblr media
Why do his thighs have to look so comfy?! ☹️
I want to squeeze them to get a yelp out of him.
And then ride them off into the sunset.
The sweetest and happiest of endings.

hello I am going crazy over these two exchanges
Jacobi: See, that's the part of this you all don't want to ever talk about. Goddard's done some good stuff, and it's done some deeply messed up stuff, but that's not the point. Lovelace: What is the point? Jacobi: Progress. And progress doesn't care about good, doesn't care about bad, it's just… forward.
- episode 52, Constructive Criticism
Rachel: You knew what you were getting yourself into. Jacobi: No, I didn't. I didn't know I was getting into mind control. I didn't know I was getting into reducing people to nothing! There is a line. And you're almost out of chances to get on the right side of it. Please. Stay. Fight this. Rachel: You done? Okay. There is no line, Mr. Jacobi. Forwards. Always forwards. Goodbye.
- episode 61, Brave New World
a microcosm of Jacobi's character development if I ever saw one

The Drabble? Blurb? Ficlet? Idk- was very sexy! I love accurate period pieces!! I saw you used ‘stays’ and that made my history nerd giggle like a giddy idiot. Thank you! So, you were using the terminology the anon used- I don’t want to come off rude or accusing! I promise: I love your work.
But uh- back then bodice ripper meant r*pist…
I think it would be appropriate for your story in everything but the dialogue between Lord Mactavish and Lady-… us. Unless reader get’s feisty with him- though I don’t think Lord Mactavish wouldn’t approve of the terminology because in his eyes she’s his. It’s his right as her husband.
My favorite terminology from back then is: He is Admiral of the Narrow seas. (Which was to say: He’s drunk enough to throw up in your lap)
-a very bored history nerd. (My nephew is sleeping on my chest therefore, I’m not allowed to move. So I’m scrolling. I’m very sorry)
I'm such a nerd for historic fashion, I must use the correct terminology or I will die. They're stays! (More specifically they're probably transitional stays, but that's unimportant)
Bodice rippers..... What can I say about them.... What can I say about Lord Mactavish(which just typing out makes my scream AAAAH(I'm normal I'm normal))
I'm very specific in my terminology for everything really.. Yeah I know Bodice ripper is another term for a rapist, in this context it's also a gothic romance genre. Definitely a lot of dubiously consenting sex in those novels, but I've talked before about how women really couldn't consent to sex in this period without labels being thrown at them.
Now LORD Mactavish (hehehehehe) oooooh this man... He can take whatever he wants from me. I think if his lady wife called him a bodice ripper he'd laugh and haul her off to show her just how much of a rake he is. He's only one for her. Rest assured my lovely ladies are never laying back and thinking of England, they're enjoying every moment, even the dubiously consenting ones. It's his right as her husband to make sure she's well taken care of, even when it makes his lovely wife sputter and swear at him because this is terribly inappropriate timing(but also don't stop...).

Is there a fandom word for a supporting character that is rarely if ever a topic for fandom but that you are absolutely obsessed with?
I'm not talking about a glup shitto. I mean a character that everyone knows about but who isn't really anyone's favorite character. Fics centered on them are rare and ones that actually explore them in an interesting way are even rarer. No one really kins them or draws them. No one brings them up outside of discussing other characters.
Yeah, whatever that is.
But then...
A piece of media comes out that heavily features that character... and people finally talk about them.... you are in heaven for a few short months... and then it goes back to how it was.
Oh, sure, maybe there will be more people who like that character now. Maybe there will be an uptick in fics that give you a small backlog to read. Maybe you'll even get a nice catalog of fanart that will fuel your imagination for a little while.
But no matter what; that character won't get as much attention as you think they deserve.
Anyway that's how I feel about Count Fanon-first-name-Yan Dooku.

*smashes in like the Kool-Aid man*
PENDRAGON SIBLINGS YOU SAY????
I have. So many Feels. About Themst™
The complexity?? The layers?? The angst?? Hello??????
Their relationship is just So Much, because you are right, it's all tangled up in miscommunication and missed opportunities, and so many problems that can be sourced back to Uther "War Crimes" Pendragon, who wouldn't know a healthy relationship if it bit him on the ass.
If Merlin and Arthur are two sides of the same coin, then Arthur and Morgana are edges of the same blade.
Because it's the lonely childhoods, the shared grief, the friendship, the vulnerability, the fondness, the teasing, the envy, the jealousy, the almost romance, the protectiveness, the betrayal, the loss, the hurt, the refusal to let go and the desperate hanging on, and the love, the love, the love.
Indifference is the true opposite of love.
Hate is love that's gone rotten.
“If Merlin and Arthur are two sides of the same coin, then Arthur and Morgana are edges of the same blade.” oh fuck….
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK
WAIT HOLD ON WAIT LEMME PIGGYBACK ON THAT BESTIE @0hheytherebigbadwolf (tagging you bc it will be a couple days after you sent this ask)
(Also, for anyone wanting background context on what me and bestie are bouncing off on: voilà)
OK OK SO
we are all familiar with King Uther being the greatest (worst) dad of all time, correct? places such high expectations on his “only son and heir” whilst never officially acknowledging Morgana as his daughter until the very end?
F+ father of the year :)
he is not above sending his children into the dungeon if they disobey him as seen here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Jfc he even put Morgana in chains like wtf)
also, he is not above using emotional guilt towards them when he deems it necessary (aka one of the only times he actually acknowledges them as his children)
UTHER (1x02 Valiant) I trust you will make me proud.
UTHER (1x08 The Beginning of the End) I’ve treated you like a daughter. Is this how you repay me?
UTHER (1x12 To Kill the King) You are the daughter I never had.
UTHER (2x08 Sins of the Father) You would believe a sorcerer’s lies over the word of your father?
not to mention that when Arthur or Morgana try to reason with him or argue with him since they are the only ones with the status to do so, he pulls rank
UTHER (1x12 To Kill the King) May I remind you that you are speaking to your King [...] Take care, child, or I’ll have you restrained.
UTHER (2x08 Sins of the Father) I am your king and your father. You will show me some respect!
UTHER (2x06 Beauty and the Beast) We live in dangerous times, I cannot allow you to undermine my authority.
UTHER (3x10 Queen of Hearts) You have caused this to happen, Arthur. My decision is final.
ngl i could include more but i have already spent hours searching for shit (YOUTUBE WILL DIE BY MY HAND THAT STINGY BITC—) but y’all get what i mean: Uther is an abusive fucker and it has messed up the conditions of Arthur and Morgana
now, about the double edged blade…..
as previously established, Uther is a fucking dick and wants his children to obey him but also adore him. with this behavior, the Pendragon siblings react in two ways: with anger & contempt or submission and remorse
way #1
i’m gonna start with Morgana because anger is the easiest to pick out throughout the show. in the first episode of the first season, our introduction to Morgana’s character is her lecturing Uther about executing the man Merlin witnessed upon entering Camelot (such a warm welcome for Emrys, mh?)
MORGANA I just don't think chopping someone's head off is cause for a celebration. That poor mother. UTHER It was simple justice for what he'd done. MORGANA To whom? He practiced some magic, he didn't hurt anyone. UTHER You were not around twenty years ago, you have no idea what it was like. MORGANA How long are you going to keep punishing people for what happened then?
early on, it is easy to pick up on Morgana’s resentment and anger at Uther, who she believes is blinded by his fear of magic and his need for control (which she isn’t wrong about). also, we find that she isn’t one to back off when poking the bear (Uther). she does it constantly in seasons 1 & 2
MORGANA (1x03 Mark of Nimueh) Why would she kneel on a cold stone floor morning after morning when she could make these things happen with a snap of her fingers? Like an idle king!
MORGANA (1x08 The Beginning of the End) How can this child be your enemy? He's just a boy. UTHER He is a Druid. MORGANA Is that such a crime?…What have these people done to you? Why are you so full of hate?
UTHER (2x04 Lancelot and Guinevere) How many men would you have me sacrifice to save a servant? MORGANA  As many as it takes!
to be honest, i wouldn’t be surprised if screaming, arguing and berating Uther about his morals and ethics is her way of proving that she is not weak or submissive to his actions. i mean, Morgana grew up in a household the complete opposite from her time in Camelot. Gorlois, the man whom Morgana considers to be her father and one and only family member, was said to be “just” and “kind” and someone that Uther even considered a good friend who openly kept him in check. Morgana, until the age of ten, understood parental love and empathy unlike Arthur, who spent his whole life without any good or healthy substance of it.
the culture of Camelot and Uther’s wrath is not something Morgana was ever able to fully acclimate to as Uther himself pointed out in 1x12. She “was at odds with [him] since the beginning” and could never picture herself as a Pendragon (point further proven in 4x05: she looked revolted when Queen Annis compared her to Uther) because she didn’t share in their idea of magic = evil and a king = absolute control.
ironic in terms of future plot events, isn’t it :’)
way #2
compare that to Arthur: man’s respressed af. keeps all his emotions under lock and key if they are anything but haughty and serious. y’all, Arthur even says it himself how he “[can't] disagree with Father [Uther] in public.” whenever Arthur finds himself at odds with Uther, he holds his tongue and waits until he can disobey secretly (2x05 when he leaves to rescue Gwen, 1x08 when he helps Morgana sneak out Mordred in the dark of the night, 2x08 when he sneaks out to meet Morgause for more info about his mom, etc). it is only the rare moments when Arthur feels impassioned enough to speak up without fearing any retribution does Arthur talk back at him (so satisfying 👌)
ARTHUR (1x03 Mark of Nimueh) [Morgana’s] right, Father. You hear the word magic, you no longer listen.
ARTHUR (2x08 Sins of the Father) This is what fuels your hatred for those who practice magic. Rather than blame yourself for what you did, you blame them….You hunted her kind like animals! How many hundreds have you condemned to death to ease your guilt?!….You speak of honour and nobility! You're nothing but a hypocrite and a liar!
ARTHUR (3x10 Queen of Hearts) You can't forbid my feelings any more than I can. I won't deny them any longer, I love her. I love Guinevere.
we can even compare how the two react to Uther’s violence towards them

(ahahahahahaaaaa what a wonderful dad)
on the left, you see Arthur’s face right when Uther crushes the morteus flower needed to heal Merlin (his manservant/friend/????) and on the right, is Morgana after Uther discovers she was harboring a Druid child in her chambers and she refuses to listen to his reason.
notice how both faces are remarkably similar 👀
however, Arthur’s look of shock and dismay come from his hope that Uther would do the right thing. that he would help save Merlin’s life from dying of poison. that he wouldn’t use this as a method to teach Arthur “what it means to disobey and cross the king.” he truly did hope, just like he always does with the people he holds close. Arthur cannot help but hope and trust that those close to him will not betray him and yet so many do. hence the remorse
looking at Morgana, her shock comes from the fact that this might be the first time Uther reacted to her words and actions in a physical manner. my suspicion is that most of the time, all Morgana previously got was Uther reprimanding her and yelling at her to stop questioning his methods (bc, let’s be real, she was the favorite child.) never has he lifted a finder on her like Arthur and i have proof (cue transcript!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND! and, Arthur is constantly warning Morgana about not angering Uther any further because of the consequences she might face (consequences this boy is very familiar with) when Uther deems it necessary to “teach” his children obedience.
UTHER (1x04 The Poisoned Chalice) You have to learn there's a right and a wrong way of doing things. I'll see you're let out in a week. Then you can find yourself another servant.
UTHER (3x10 Queen of Hearts) You have caused this to happen, Arthur. My decision is final [...] This is for your own good. - UTHER She will die. The enchantment will be broken. You'll see I was right.
UTHER (2x08 Sins of the Father) I am protecting you from your own foolishness!
so educational 🥰 but see, because Uther presents his punishments as lessons, Arthur himself views them as just a fucked up but meaningful way of his father’s concern because “yeah, I am the first born son and only heir to the throne. of course I need to learn not to do silly things like disobey, talk back to him, be my own person.” <- I’m paraphrasing here
Arthur does and has never seen a way out of the life thrust upon him by Uther (see 3x06). succeeding Uther as king, marrying a noblewoman of high standing for heirs and alliance strength was always expected of him. Arthur never saw a way out of this. even when he and Gwen were in their secret relationship phase, Arthur had to remind himself that this would never last. he loved her and knew she loved him, but there was always that reminder (that sounded a lot like Uther) in the back of his head telling him that it would never last so long as he was prince. he had a duty (constructed by Uther) to serve Camelot and going against his father would mean (in his eyes) that he is going against Camelot (as Uther always presented it to be).
so unlike Morgana, he did not kick and scream but stood firm because that was what he believed was stronger. if he stayed in his lane and did his part, then he would be a good king, maybe even a better one than his father, for Camelot. however, the show proves that differentiating himself from Uther actually made him the better king and more respected, but this is not the meta for that. I am getting side tracked.
OK: so we’ve established parental issues between the two siblings. now onto their very complex, complicated yet beloved dynamic
sO, as i mentioned in this post (because i am lazy and too tired to copy/paste the evidence from there), these siblings do care for one another. they just go about it in the most hilarious and repressed and in-denial way (hilarious to me 😤)
when we meet them, it’s established that these two have known each other for some time. enough for them to bicker and have banter, you know, as you do with a Pendragon. also, should add, neither character are ever aware they are blood-related until s3 (because of some weak-ass bitch named Uther), so you have that very, uh, interesting subplot in s1 that everybody forgets about until you rewatch it. (honestly, I have so many questions. number 1: why???? number 2: it’s only in s1—was it scrapped??? is it like it never existed???? what was its purpose to the plot??? bbc explain yourself—)
however, despite how much it is shown that they do care for one another, they’re relationship in s1 is still undefined and vague as if they also don’t know how to accurately define what the other means to them. it’s very similar to the whole “i really love this person so much but is what i’m feeling platonic, familial, or romantic?” because….you know, guy and girl besties who are close are typically expected to grow romantic feelings for each other, so tbh i would not be surprised if both mistook their love as romantically inclined in the beginning bc, reminder, neither of them were aware they were siblings until much later.
[and this is ALL i am saying on this subplot. i do not want to cause any negative discourse, so if anyone has a few choice words about it, either keep it to yourself or feel free to talk about it with people you know. personally? not a fan of the ship and never will be, but i am not here to post about that.]
anyway, have some featured receipts showing Arthur and Morgana slipping up and showing how much they care for each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SEE!!!! LOOK AT HOW THE CARE!!!! SEE HOW THEY WORRY FOR THE OTHER AND WISH TO PROTECT THEM FROM HARM!!! (and see how even when they’re on opposite sides there is still that same love. just more warped and corrupted T^T)

^worried/protective Morgana
Tumblr media
^Arthur’s face after Merlin informs him that there’s an intruder heading to Morgana’s chambers
Morgana is very aware of Arthur’s trusting nature. Arthur is very aware of Morgana’s empathy and righteous nature. they understand each other so well which is why Morgana knew just how to harm Arthur in later seasons and why Morgana’s betrayal hit Arthur so hard. it’s also why he never stopped trying to reach out to her in s4 & s5. as @merlinemrys said in this lovely post, the show’s driving force is love. love of all kinds. whatever conflict it is, love is there at the center of it all and, in Arthur and Morgana’s case, it does not save them (just like how love does not save Merlin or Arthur from what lies ahead, as the op of the post pointed out).
that is what makes their relationship/love be like a double edged sword!! that is why they are edges of the same blade!!! they protect and fight for what they believe in and for the people they love, but the same blades cut deep and twist their wounds into a lasting scar.
it is because of Arthur’s love for Morgana that he cannot help but hope and mourn the woman he once knew. it is because of Morgana’s love for Arthur that her feelings of hatred are so strong and ugly.
like honestly,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
look at them T^T compared to before
Tumblr media Tumblr media
their relationship is so tragic T^T because we knew them before it all went wrong. we knew they cared and understood each other. we knew that for some time, they only had each other to rely on for a friend, a crutch, a breather for when the royal life was too much. both of them were fighters and strive to honor their values. both of them had once leaned on the other for support, had wanted nothing but happiness for each other.
fuck, they didn’t even get the chance to really be siblings because they found out too late, and by then Morgana was on a war path and Arthur only found out at the last minute.
like fuck, man
two sides of the same blade: forged with love, yet used for blood
