[at the knights of camelot introduction round]
older knight: so why did you guys decide to serve arthur ^ ^
lancelot, elyan, percival: (collective murmurs about honour and chivalry and courageousness)
gwaine, wearing his armour back to front: his manservant had a certain je ne say kwa.........
does she know i would kill for her. does she know.
your honor, i miss these two’s bond.
Lancelot deserved to live longer.
@ripgwaine i didn’t want to give attention to that man again and take the spotlight away from my girl and possibly annoy op but i fully thought the same like Hands off her you asshole… not even in an anti arwen way because sometimes the only instances in which i can bear arthur is when he’s with gwen But not here because are you seeing the possessive way he’s holding her shoulders it’s disgusting and creepy it’s sending shivers down my spine ew ew ew dude release her AT once
Costume Details + Merlin
some quick morgana x gwen studies i did while experimenting with new brushes :]
Ahmed and his family have been verified by @90-ghost for a long time now. Still, in the face of inflated prices in Gaza, he struggles to collect enough money to purchase the simplest of things like milk and flour, which are now as much as $1,000 and $750 respectively.
Ahmed and his family are only trying to survive against the starvation that has taken all of Gaza by storm. Ahmed’s sister needs milk to feed her two small children, and Ahmed himself has even fainted from the hunger. Ahmed’s beloved cat has now died of hunger.
There is not enough food to go around. Those with food sell it at prices too steep for people in need to afford. Ahmed does not have much time. He and his family are already in critical condition from starvation and lack of shelter. He has already lost his cat, he cannot lose his family. He cannot lose his life.
Ahmed is able to accept donations at both of the below accounts. PayPal is more direct and will take fewer fees altogether, but if PayPal is not available to you we ask that you please donate to the GFM. It will get to him regardless of payment method. For other options, you can DM me or send an ask and I will make sure that the money gets to him.

Go to paypal.me/AhmedResh and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
We are currently looking for around $2,000 as a short-term goal. We are already partway to this goal at $271. It is urgent that Ahmed gets this money as soon as possible.
Ahmed urgently needs $500 for his mother’s surgery on April 25th (in under 48 hours). I do not have the money myself. Anyone who can chip in, please send money directly to the PayPal linked above, as he will get the money sooner with fewer fees.
the truth is a man could be sitting silently in a room and he'd still piss me off
omg did you seriously invite the torturer 😐

Funniest part of BBCM is that Arthur is canonically not pure of heart.
Second funniest part of BBCM is that Arthur is measurably not pure of heart.
He failed the second test that Anhora gave him. He failed the test on his pride, mirroring the event that leads to his own bane: forcing Kara to either apologize or die for trying to protect her people and right Arthur’s wrongs, instead of just admitting that she was right.
Anhora had to cheat the rules in order to give Arthur a test that did not challenge his pride. This means that Arthur is only about 2/3rds pure of heart, maybe even 1/2 considering the final test was designed to be more passable.
Meanwhile, Merlin “The Unicorn” Emrys-
am I misremembering canon again or did Kara try to stab Arthur on sight?
I mean. If smb tried to stab me with the intent to kill. For approaching. I would feel justified in killing them? Cause that's self defence (except my pick would be doing so on the spot without waiting for the threat to find another knife. That's the part I honestly don't get in the show - Arthur killed bandits all the time when they attacked, why not the girl? Because she is a girl? What does it matter what's between her legs if she wants him dead and made an attempt to turn that into reality? Like, he only took prisoners that one time with queen Annis hubby... at least from what I recall)
Also idk about pride... with the number of scenes where Arthur kneels in front of his enemies basically begging to be killed leave his kingdom alone. Like, sure, he has pride when it comes to daily things like when he was all "Merlin, why do they think I'm a simpletone" but when it comes to important stuff? Gurl, he kneels so often, I'm expecting him to wear specially made kneepads for comfort - perhaps ordered by Merlin who gets sick of the complaints after.
btw I see ur point about 2/3 success rate and while true, still not bad with Uther for a father? Btw unicorns being "pure" and Merlin being like... very questionable with his morals. And I can't even call him "good", not rly, the guy is just that devoted to his Arthur. Morals are secondary for him (and that's all kinds of hot and attractive, love me a one-track-mind unhinged blorbo, but I can't think of him as a "pure good" person. He is averagely human like that - flawed and guilty and loving)
To this, I must repeat:
Arthur is not “acting in self-defense” by executing revolutionaries. The revolutionaries are the ones acting in self-defense. The governmental authority is the aggressor, whereas the oppressed group is the one victimized. Abuse (in this case, social abuse) is about power imbalance, and the power is ultimately all Arthur’s. Magic or not, Kara carries no social power as an oppressed woman. Arthur, on the other hand, decides what will be law and chooses to maintain the same unjust, genocidal rulings as his father before him. Kara acts in self-defense and in defense of others, as a martyr, in her assassination attempt against Arthur, who is a tyrant against her people.
Arthur is prideful in the most significant sense: he cannot and will not admit to his wrongdoings against magical peoples, and in fact never meaningfully develops beyond his initial classist evaluations of the people in his life. He is only willing to consider lifting the ban on magic so long as he has a personal stake in it, never once considering that what may be maligned to the monarchy is exactly what would benefit the people he is responsible for. To do this, he would need to truly comprehend that he is not more worthy than any other person of insurmountable power and hoarded wealth. As for the latter, when he deems a commoner worthy, he simply promotes them to a higher status. This implies that all who are deemed commoners are seen as less worthy by his estimation. Merlin remains a commoner despite his invaluable contributions because Arthur lacks true respect for him as an intelligent, dignified individual.
Uther is frequently cited as an excuse for Arthur’s behavior, but if Arthur’s behavior needs excusing by this method, then you are deliberately omitting the fact that he is undeniably comparable to Uther in his continued oppression of those he deems inferior to him based on class, religion/ethnicity, and gender. You unintentionally acknowledge that he maintains the same systems that Uther put into place, but with slightly less aggression. This isn’t “not bad with Uther as a father,” this is a direct result of glorifying Uther’s tyrannical rulings out of monarchist pride.
Most interestingly, you say that you can’t even call Merlin “good,” as you claim this is a misconception based upon his extreme devotion to Arthur. This is quite an assumption, as it is this very devotion to Arthur that threatens his moral standing. It is even more telling that you hold Arthur to such a low standard by comparison to Merlin. Arthur’s moral ambiguity can surely be excused by the fact that he was raised to be immoral, yet Merlin was raised under the same social norms, only as a peasant farmer rather than royalty. Arthur is coddled to remove his accountability in his own actions and beliefs, while Merlin’s autonomy is acknowledged only to convict him. Merlin’s comparative lack of autonomy compared to Arthur, who holds the highest social and political power in the land, is methodically omitted.
Morals are not secondary to Merlin — they are in fact his primary quandary. Because his morals are often challenged and he feels, at times, forced to compromise on morals he would rather not, some fans are under the illusion that he simply does not struggle with morality and is always willing to forgo his morals to achieve his end-goals. In reality, these events show that the exact opposite is true: Merlin’s primary struggle is in maintaining his morals when the destiny he has been landed in challenges the breadth of his autonomy. Whenever possible, he attempts to find another way — such as lifting the fever curse on Camelot and saving Morgana’s life, or saving Camelot and sparing Kilgharrah, when these were set as mutually exclusive goals — but as a poor commoner and servant who is forced into hiding as part of an oppressed class suffering genocide, he is wholly unable to wield the same social and political power that Arthur does. That is the goal of kingship: to withhold power from other people and permit it to oneself.
Merlin’s “purity” comes from an absence of moral “contaminants,” these being arrogance, selfishness, cruelty, and indifference, among other things. Arthur did not kill the unicorn for any moral failing of the unicorn — he killed it because it is a magical creature and killing it would boost his reputation. The combined factors of pride and cruelty on display disqualify Arthur from the same comparison to the unicorn that Merlin is subject to, especially given Merlin’s status as an oppressed creature of magic under Arthur’s authority. The unicorn represents Merlin because both would be killed for their mere existence, not any true crime they committed, and both show a certain moral purity in their absence of cruelty.
Case in point, monarchism is wrong, Arthur’s actions and beliefs cannot be excused no matter how you tilt the tables in his favor, and if Merlin were given the same tests as Arthur was, he would have made the decisions that earn the title “pure of heart” because he does not possess the same flaws as Arthur does.

All/More Than One of the Above
With my birthday coming up this month, there is only one thing I can ask for…
My friend Ahmed has been struggling under the Israeli occupation of Gaza for nearly 2 years. At the moment, he is living in a tent on the streets. His sister and her children are in the North, where it is especially dangerous.
Ahmed needs money urgently to support his family, who are stuck in a known danger zone. The best way to support him at this time is to donate and to share his fundraising campaign.
Please donate to the PayPal, as there are no fees associated with it and the money will be made available to Ahmed immediately.
A GoFundMe is available, but it will add significant fees and it will take longer to reach Ahmed.
Go to paypal.me/AhmedResh and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
