#character: uther

[stevenslittleshop]

Listen, I love going “the people of Camelot must’ve been so oblivious” just as much as the next person

But think about it

You’re living in a time of constant crisis. People are getting accused of magic, most of those people barely even know what magic looks like. People are killed, every day, just because they were accused of something they couldn’t disprove.

And in comes this young lad. This awfully cheery little man who takes his punishments with a smile and is slowly turning the future king into an actual person instead of some little spoiled twat. And everyone loves him. It’s the most joyous Camelot has been since the queen died.

And yes, maybe his eyes glow a little sometimes, and maybe things move on their own when he’s around, but he’s a good person and hes not hurting anyone, quite the opposite in fact.

So at a time where Merlin could’ve been killed if you said the wrong thing to the wrong person, nobody was gonna say a damn word because they did not want to see this boy, practically the one who kept the place running, the light of Camelot, burned at the stake.

They weren’t oblivious. They knew. They just refused to believe it, because if they did, then the great purge would most likely restart and Camelot could fall.

My piece for DarKymi for the Merthur Glompfest 2023!

#uther hates this day but it's tradition #gwen might never be queen in the merthur timeline so she gets one day as a treat #and it's the best day camelot's ever had #morgana never wins because she always spends her time trying to find a way to find the crown without actually scavenging #gwaine and lance have snuck in in the hopes of winning and getting their banishments revoked #percival's just here for a fun time #merlin and arthur haven't even realised what day it is #my art #bbc merlin #merlin bbc #merthur #merlin #arthur #i'm not tagging every character #merthur glompfest 2023

Writing Mordred is slowly making me realise I don’t actually hate him.

The more I think about it, the more I realise he’s just a traumatised child who felt trapped and ran out of options when every single person in his life who was supposed to help him failed in some way or others. Most in more than one way if we’re being honest.

The kid literally had no one to turn to when the girl he loved died and was openly hated by the guy he’s thought of as a god since he was a child.

Like let that sink in.

Merlin openly wished him dead, and Mordred literally worshipped the ground he walked on.

(I’m usually a Merlin apologist but bloody hell he fucked up at every opportunity when it came to Mordred)

Morgana was the exact opposite of his morals but wanted magic free, (at the cost of non magic users lives which is also problematic, but that’s a different conversation) so he didn’t stick around with her, but when Camelot no longer felt safe for him, he ran.

Which is definitely a trauma response considering how he grew up with the Druids and then whatever the fuck happened after he left them.

Arthur was the only person who was continuously good for him, saving him as a child and later becoming a brother/father figure, but then he killed Kara and Mordred had to watch another magic user be killed by Camelot except this time it was someone he truly believed was good. He didn’t see her attacking Arthur like she did, just that the king of Camelot was killing another magic user which was bound to bring up trauma that he hasn’t felt safe enough to unpack and heal from.

I have a lot more to say on this, but I’ve got to leave for work in a few minutes so I’ll come back and scream about it another time

Fucking Mordred though, poor kid. He really went through it.

not ashamed to admit i cry at uther's death

#well #i mean it's mostly at arthur's reaction and #i didn't want you to feel that you were alone #but i think it counts #i mean i despise him as a father and a person #but i am willing to admit he's a very interesting character that is well written #he has his moments #merlin #bbc merlin #uther pendragon #merthur #arthur pendragon #blue rewatches merlin

[justaz]

as much as i hate uther, i don’t believe him to be homophobic. him and gaius definitely experimented when they were younger. i think it much funnier that uther doesn’t care that merlin’s a boy. yeah sure he’s a little stuck on the class difference (why on earth would arthur go for a servant???). but the thing that really sets him off, has him spitting with rage, is the sorcerer part.

he doesn’t care that his sons gay, he can even excuse the class difference, but he draws the LINE at sorcery

#no homophobia in my camelot #in fact everyone is queer #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #uther pendragon #arthur pendragon #merthur #uther welcoming his son in law with the ghost of a smile bc uther is a Dick but he does vaguely care for his son and his happiness #then doing a complete 180 the second he sniffs out the magic like a bloodhound #just frothing at the mouth as merthur is sucking face and tangling tongues in the back of the room #passive aggressive meat cutting while staring daggers at merlin #tom and jerry ass antics #that’s what i wanna read #gimme crack fics #NEOWWWWW #uther poisoning merlin’s food so merlin fills others chambers with a bunch of goats that are shitting and pissing everywhere #while eating all the fabric in the room including his expensive imported silk sheets #no one knows how merlin managed to get all the goats up there without raising any alarms #uther pushes merlin down a flight of stairs and merlin lands like a family guy character at the bottom #merlin cursing uther for a day or two to only be able to sing instead of speak #uther sending assassins after merlin and merlin waiting until uther gives a big important speech in front of all of camelot to pants him #despite how hard uther pulls...his pants just wont come back up. he overcorrects and falls on his face #uther vs merlin rivalry ftw #i know of 'no. just...no' by theroundbartable but thats about it

[quotidian-oblivion]

So i'm thinking-

Merlin is basically a show about everyone falling in love, adopting or trying to kill a scrawny pale clumsy boy who can change the weather at will

#quotidian convos #bbc merlin #literally everyone in the show falls into these three categories in one way or another #and character development for this show means going from liking merlin to wanting to kill him (morgana) #or not liking him to liking him (arthur) #etc etc #crack interpretation of bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #knights of the round table #emrys #uther pendragon #guinevere

A Remedy to Cure All Ills, 1x06

#coincidence? i think not #there are a few instances of characters saying “i have no choice” in the series actually #unsurprisingly. given it's also a series about the inescapability of fate. but this is in the same episode #also i am thinking about merlin saying “i have no choice” about letting mordred escape with kara #because he very much did have a choice but risking arthur's life wasn't an option #and merlin's loyalty to arthur in S5 very much mirrors gaius's loyalty to uther #and they are both a bit fucked up. gaius's more so of course #but i like to think it was a frog in a boiling pot situation #because uther didn't start out as a child-drowning tyrant surely #and like. what happened. #i'm intrigued by gaius and uther's relationship #toxic codependency #ep 1x06

Merlin should've ended with Arthur going, "I know" when Merlin reveals his magic, AND HERE'S WHY

In Arthur's mind, magic is an act punishable by death— It's something that's been pushed onto him for years, with (almost) valid backing. After all, one of the few things he knew about his mother was that she died of magic.

Arthur is also the prince of Camelot, a kingdom that is pretty much notorious for its distrust and hatred for magic and all magic users. So in staying silent, Arthur not only is passively betraying his father and upbringing, he is also going against his own royal position and power over Camelot. His destiny.

So being silent about Merlin's magic betrays his teachings and his royal position. Blah blah blah, we've heard it all before. But there's more.

Arthur is very clearly a man that puts honour and loyalty above all else (as seen by his obedience to the Knight's Code). He's been raised with chivalry embedded into every word and sentence, so this act of deception should absolutely enrage him.

Because Merlin isn't a knight that he sees only for hunting and training, Merlin bathes and feeds and dresses him every single day. He is the closest person to Arthur possibly ever, so it only makes sense for Arthur to be outraged at this blatant act of betrayal.

But he isn't.

Sure, he may have been at some point in time, but the important thing is that he still stayed silent.

And THAT'S why Arthur knowing about Merlin's magic could've been so good. Because Arthur isn't just betraying his father and his kingdom and his entire fucking destiny for Merlin, he is also betraying himself.

His unshakable morals, his unwavering standards for loyalty— He throws all that away for Merlin.

Arthur knowing about Merlin's magic adds nuance and substance to his character. No longer is he a prince who is naive and also apparently selectively blind and deaf, he is a prince who is willing to go against everything he's ever learned and who he is for the people—the man— he loves.

And it also shows how he loves. We all know that Arthur has problems with communicating affection like a normal person, but having him know Merlin's magic gives him a way of bypassing that emotional blockage by showing that he has other ways of showing his love.

Because despite his taunts and jabs, Arthur still hides Merlin's biggest secret from everyone, even Merlin himself. He lives his entire life staying quiet about a secret that could ruin both him and Merlin, because that's how Arthur Pendragon loves—Quietly.

Anyways that was my rant bc I was pissed off at the ending again for the fourth time today lol

Day 20: King Vortigern

Vortigern was an early villain of Arthurian legend, ruling before Uther Pendragon.

He didn’t become king by birth; while Constans, the eldest brother of Uther, was king, Vortigern secured a marriage into royalty. As King Constans was still quite young, Vortigern installed himself as the king’s advisor, and conspired to have the young king killed. 

Constan’s younger brothers, Aurelius Ambrosius and Uther Pendragon, were children at the time, so once Constans was dead Vortigern seized the crown for himself and ruled with a tyrannical fist.

Alright I want feedback about this.

I have a strong inclination that Morgana was not originally written as Uther’s daughter, but was added when they came back for season 3. What do you guys think?

#morgana pendragon #uther pendragon #seriously the way morgana's father is talked about in season 1 #it feels so out of place if she was always uther's daughter #that's not the kind of dialogue you'd use if it wasn't true and your character knew it #uther treats her more like an advisor than an adoptive daughter #then suddenly she’s his child in season 3 #merlin polls #merlin #merlin bbc #bbc merlin #the once and future fandom
