#bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #mordred #i know i know that quote is very popular on tumblr everybody uses it but i just think is truly perfect for arthur #even the episode's title basically conveys the same message #that no matter what arthur was already doomed the moment mordred introduces himself #it was just a slow countdown to his end from that moment on #in my mind arthur still had a chance but the moment mordred's name is revealed the tragedy sets in motion and there's no turning back #and it's the same for all tragedies #that quote from the oresteia really sums it perfectly doesn't it #web weaving
