seeing pretty abysmally bad merlin takes whats up

#ok this is like..... i Might reply this to the post but might also just not bother idk <3 u might have seen it go around itwas like #both the original post n a reply were uh. well #the original post is like ‘the magical community never backed merlin bc they knew merlin was too devoted to arthur as a person nd not to #legalising magic’ which. fair that was probably what the magical folks who didnt back him had as their reason and thats.. #understandable.. regardless of whether it was true or not he did unintentionally give reasons to make them get that impression..butlike #the op phrased it like ‘he actually does not care abt the magical community at all and is in for it Purely bc of arthur’ which....no lol he #he just didnt know what he was doing. he was not exactly. qualified i guess.. to bear that responsibility #its not that he didnt Care..... its that he didnt know HOW. its that he was told the solution lied in using a prophecy as his manual.. #its that he was told by said prophecy AND by an ~all-knowing creature of the old religion~ #that the one and only key to a future that was in any way liveable for his ppl. lied in protecting arthur #but like okaywhatever i still get where op came from... but then the REPLY #(someone’s saved tags) was like. ‘okay but what did the magical community ever do for him? if they rlly wanted justice they should not have #tried to kill arthur every other week’ Like i am sorry but. they fully had the right to turn against someone who persecuted them for existi #existing. literlly..... do not blame ppl for not wanting to be killed off anymore and not having any faith in anything changing unless they #take action themselves..... first off not everyone knows theres supposed to be this emrys guy whos gonna save them and second its not like #they were given much to believe in..... like i personally know merlin tried hisbest nd i dont blame him bc he never asked to be given #that unbearably heavy responsibility that no sole human should ever have to carry alone. and he did what he believed what was best. But #do not blame the other ppl for not buying that stupid bootlicking royal propaganda tale jesus christ.. they were victims just like merlin #andthey were given zero reasons to not want arthur dead #realising now this sounds like im defending morgana’s and morgause’s (etc) actions which i am not lol im mainly referring to those ppl that #werent trying to get the throne for themselves per se....like kara for example
