Arthurs’ a big history nerd and you can’t convince me otherwise ‼️

Why?? did he know so much about Carleon’s attack and retreat in ‘Castle of Fyrien’

And then he proceeded to happily geek out about it for Gwen 💀 (kinda adorable ngl)

Also he’s just generally very well-versed in Camelot history, ex: the deleted scene in s4ep1 where he just goes off! about the citadel of Daobeth with only minor prompting from Merlin

Exposition King 😌✨

And how does he seem be the kingdom-wide #1 expert on Wilddeoren? Hmm??

I rest my case

#bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #king arthur #he’s just patiently waiting for the opportunity to infodump on the knights if they ever make the mistake of asking 💀 #I honestly love how excited he looks about stuff like that tho #his secret hidden passion #queen Guinevere had to limit him to 1-2 tomes of Camelot history per day otherwise the kingdom wouldn’t run #don’t know what to get Arthur for secret santa? #problem solved: raid Geoffrey’s historical fiction section #tbh he’s probably already scoured it #Geoffrey finding teenage Arthur skipping a few training sessions on rainy days to sit in and read #he turns a blind eye but secretly loves that at least someone’s taking an interest #literally the reason Geoffrey decided to compile and record all of King Arthur’s adventures and doings for the future generations #because he knows that Arthur would’ve loved to read about something like that 😭💖 #why did I have to make it sad why #it’s the cycle of tragedy of Arthuriana or smthg ig 🥲
