i wholeheartedly believe familial dynamics have the potential to overshadow any romantic or platonic relationships fr like yes merlin and arthur have this great destiny together and gwen and arthur have a love for the ages for sure but imagine the sting of betrayal arthur felt when morgana turned evil. she's a sorceress. she was a comforting presence when uther's hand grew too heavy. she's a traitor. she knows his favorite places to hide in the castle. she hates him. she was one of the few people who's ever seen him cry. she's his sister. she's his sister.
