Hunith would be supportive of Merthur and Balinor would invite Lancelot to every family dinner in hopes of Merlin changing his mind eventually.

my nuance pervert take on arthur and why i find him so fascinating as a character is rooted almost entirely in the ways violent systems of oppression, toxic masculinity, cultural heteronormativity, and generational cycles of abuse warp people who are positioned to benefit from them. especially if they have to mold themselves into a different shape to fit into those boxes or the ways in which they attempt to rail against those confines or the blind spots they have because of them or or or

like arthur is so much more interesting to me because his upbringing left him so deeply flawed. because his innate kindness and compassion and morality got twisted inside him for so many reasons, and his tragedy is that he ultimately doesn’t escape the influence of his father or the systems that allotted him enough privileges that he never felt the need to examine how he was (knowingly or not) perpetuating those patterns

my other nuance pervert take is that the show writers weren’t brave enough to lean fully or consistently enough into what they were trying to say about arthur or the war on magic in general for that aspect of his character to have the impact it could’ve

@merthurmicrofic prompt: regret

Even though he faced all manner of deadly situations, maybe the bravest thing Merlin did was tell the truth.

No joke I was the only one who noticed that the lake of Avalon is a grassland in the modern day and I didn’t say anything because so many people in this fandom are emotionally dependent on the imagery of Arthur rising from a lake.

The idea that I expressed to @fishoutofcamelot and @witchcraft–and–wizardry last night is that Arthur sits up from his grave and immediately goes rolling down this hill at full momentum. It’s Merlin’s first genuine laugh in decades.

OKAY OKAY BUT

I’ve been here (Glastonbury Tor) and what happens is mist rolls in. Y’know, the famous “mists of Avalon”? And the mist makes it look LIKE THE LAKE IT WAS IN MEDIEVAL TIMES

But do you know what this phenomenon is called in real life??

It’s called a FATA MORGANA

Real photo!! There’s your lake. Conjured back into existence by the mist when Arthur returns

#okay I actually love the image of Arthur Gwen and the knights emerging from the mists WAY more than them walking sopping wet out of the lake @sneakyboymerlin

Okay, same?? The Mists of Avalon is a well-known King Arthur story (even if the author is… not great). I think the mist imagery it just super cool and since the Isle is supposedly the final resting place of the Holy Grail/Cup of Life as well, it could be using that that Arthur returns

There’s also this lovely well there in the Chalice Well Gardens next door

The symbol with two circles is 2 realms–our realm, and the Sidhe realm–and the line through the middle is Excalibur. I headcanon Freya can be summoned from here!
