#there are these moments throughout the show where arthur is just ... HE ISS king

[marcskywalker]

I was rewatching sword in the stone pt 1 for shits and giggles (cause I remembered simpleton Arthur and thought the ep would be hilarious. spoiler alert: I WAS WRONG 😭)

and my God, my heart hurts at the look on Arthur's face when they're taking him brainwashed and away from Camelot.

No will, no memories, no sense of "himself" and still he yearns for Camelot 😭 at his core he is king. you can take everything away from him but his love for his kingdom and people is etched in his blood and bone
