Gwen is the most kind, loyal person you would ever meet and she has been more than a friend to all of us.

If you think about it, Morgana holding Gwen prisoner in the dark tower is insane for more than just yuri reasons because a large portion of her scheme depended on the idea that Gwen's husband would be the one dying to save her, but it was actually her brother who charged in first. This moment was about Gwen and Elyan, but it can also be about Morgana and Arthur, since it shows very clearly that Morgana simply doesn't recognize the power of a brother's love. To Morgana, Arthur's identity as Uther's son is far more important than his role as her brother. She cannot accept that his affection for her was ever genuine, and yet it's proved time and time again that Arthur wants to be the one catching her when she falls.

Morgana's efforts to destroy him all come down to a fundamental misunderstanding of how he feels about her. In this case, she fails to kill Arthur because she forgets that a brother will be the first to die for his sister. Even though Arthur's love for Morgana was never enough to redeem her, Elyan's love for Gwen was still able to foil her schemes.

Say all you want but Arthur’s ass was infact NOT listening to whatever Merlin is saying in this scene. He is hungry and it’s not for food.

Bradley James what WERE you thinking in all those scenes where you’re looking at Colin’s Merlin’s neck or lips or whatever the hell is going on here?

the thing about lancelot is that he IS first and foremost merlin's knight. he's mr. "your secret's safe with me." mr. "oh merlin you need to get to the cup of life? awesome i'm coming with you." mr. "i made a vow to gwen to keep arthur safe but merlin got hit by the dorocha so i am immediately going to abandon both the mission and my vow in order to look after him for however long he needs me. obviously" and it's really funny because nobody expects it from him. the difference between him and gwaine (also merlin's knight) is that he's quiet about it so nobody ever fucking suspects him. if arthur ever gave him an order he'd be like yeah sure alright and do it BUT if merlin pulled him aside to ask him if he would go against the order to cover for him saving the day (as usual) lancelot would be like "Say No More <3" and kronk wrong lever arthur into a pit on purpose. and then he would throw himself into the pit as well like "oh my god sire i am SO SORRY </333 i must've pulled the wrong lever or the rigging was messed up or something </333333 please my lord you have my utmost apologies and you can execute me for my foolishness if you want :((((" and arthur would take one look at his sad little face and be like No lancelot it's not your fault.....You are The Best knight i have and i trust you Completely....that lever must've been Tampered with...with Sorcery.... and merlin saves the day in the background and then he and lancelot go out drinking that night to celebrate

the fact that colin morgan gets built between seasons 4 and 5 is extremely funny to me and I like to imagine Merlin just showing up to work one day and Arthur noticing that hes suddenly like twice as wide
