#a thing that Uther canonically despised even BEFORE it “”“killed”“” his wife???

[dollopheadsandclotpoles]

The fact that in ep 1x09 they went with the choice to dress Uther and Gaius up like Merlin and Arthur is making my brain draw comparisons I really don't want it to draw

#bbc merlin #Gaius's loyalty to Uther despite his treachery against his own kind??? #Uther still trusting Gaius despite knowing he practiced sorcery once #a thing that Uther canonically despised even BEFORE it “”“killed”“” his wife??? #Gaius being the only one who knows about Nimueh!?!?!? AND MORGANA!??! #HELLO /hello!!!!!!!! #they were the original failed merthur the gods were like we gotta do this again but we gotta do it right this time #LITERALLY IN THIS SCENE UTHER IS LIKE YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD FRIEND DESPITE MY TEMPER #I hate this so much #this is the ep where uther is even like you and Arthur have a bond huh #like he’s thinking back to his own fractured relationship with Gaius #am I reading too much into this? you decide
