merlin's role in arthurian canon is very funny & interesting to me cause he seems to tick every stereotypical 'who will betray the king' box. royal advisor. sorceror. extremely morally questionable. literally half-demon. appears to have an incredibly dangerous level of influence over arthur to the point where he can tell him to enact his very own massacre of the innocents cause he isn't sure which may day baby is mordred and arthur just DOES. not to mention that contrary to modern popular canon he has basically zero personal beef with morgana and remains pretty tight with her despite her attacks on camelot. so you see all this and you think well your majesty surely he means you harm!! but NO it turns out this weird little wizard who the king keeps around for moral support is actually the single most loyal person in court. i mean king arthur is like betrayals georg the way he is collecting duplicitous individuals. guinevere lancelot mordred morgana briefly gawain truly ALL his nearest and dearest backstabbed him at some point but not his no. 1 magic freak. he's his only real ride or die. anyway bbc merlin is maybe the closest I've seen to really capturing this dynamic
#if anyone is interested in some sources/ brief elaboration#the may day massacre is included in le morte du arthur#it also appears in some earlier sources although arthur doesn't always agree to do it#merlin being half demon is part of his mythos basically from the start - first described by geoffrey of monmouth#later the verse merlin (c. 1200s) takes this a step further by making him the literal intended antichrist who is saved by baptism#his relationship with morgana is also included in a lot of sources#usually he is the one who teaches her magic and they are either close friends or romantically involved (sometimes this is one-sided)#despite morgana's characterisation becoming increasingly more villainous as the legends developed they are not usually enemies#the post-vulgate suite is a particularly notable source in that it's one of the only times we see morgana actively hate him#but it isn't even mutual#after learning all she can from him she decides he's annoying and threatens to torture and kill him if he doesn't leave alone#(many sources describe him as having a 'joking personality' so i just like to think she didn't find him funny. sick of his fucking jokes)#and he's just really sad about this cause he loved her. just a bit of a tough thing to hear#later on he saves her from execution after she attacks camelot which is pretty much the only time we ever see him go against arthur#ultimately the vibe you get from them is that they are kin in a way and their relationship is seperate from anything going on wrt camelot#they are magical ageless beings who are part of their own story off to the side. they just happen to also be instrumental to this one#ok these tags are getting long I'll be brief about the last one#gawain's brief betrayal of arthur is included in le morte du arthur and the vulgate cycle#when arthur is about to burn guinevere at the stake for adultery he knows lancelot will try and rescue her#so he tells all his knights to guard the pyre and gawain is like no this is kind of fucked up. and i love lancelot he's my bestie🤞#in fact maybe i like him more than YOU. so i'm gonna sit this one out actually i'm really not fucking with you right now#unfortunately his beloved brothers gareth and gaheris end up getting killed in the conflict though which turns him against lancelot :((((#this part makes me unreasonably sad like they were best friends guys...now forced apart...#on his deathbed gawain does then write to lancelot to apologise and reconcile with him#but when lancelot arrives he's ALREADY DEAD and he spends two nights weeping at his tomb#oh and how could i forget!! the reason he was on his deathbed is because he challenged lancelot to a duel and asked him to kill him!!!#which he refuses to do and grants him mercy because he still loves gawain and never wanted to fight him :(((#but little did he know he mortally wounded him anyway. guys. guysss#ok i lied i wasn't brief about that at all

ronan in the graphic novel is such a distinguished member of society. no alcoholism, no drag racing, no saying slurs and insults, no visible self-harm looking scars, no mentions of him skipping class - in fact he's not even getting expelled - no picking fights and no saying inappropriate ass shit to adam and blue just for the hell of it, no reasons to improve on anything about his own character really so he straight up doesn't. declan just looks like a massive asshole for having any issue with this squeaky clean law abiding god-fearing citizen

trc is a very easy series to remove the difficult texture from. like i see fans doing it all the time. removing that ronan is an alcoholic, that he’s been arrested, that adam is inclined to physical violence/self harm, that adam is cold and wicked, that gansey is cruel and vile, that blue is spiteful and judgmental. but that texture is what makes the characters so good. and i guess i just didn’t think the author would undo the texture she so carefully crafted.
#yeahhh everything i see about the graphic novel just feels. interesting#it just doesn't make sense in the same way with all that removed imo

magic=gay interpretation is all well and good but personally i think being gay in camelot is actually fine because uther's so focused on getting rid of magic he doesn't really care about anything else. like that politician from australia but with magic instead of crocodiles

Figures from Arthurian lit as cats:
Arthur - tuxedo British shorthair
Supposed to kind of be an everyman, a random bastard child who randomly pulled the sword from stone. Very approachable, handsome, bog standard looking cat. The tuxedo coloring adds a bit of authority.
Guinevere - flame point/buff ragdoll
Beautiful, elegant, refined. Born to aristocracy, unlike Arthur. Like many orange female cats, she contains a thread of scheming intelligence.
Merlin - can appear as any cat, usually appears as a fucked up looking scrawny black cat with heterochromia
Not explaining this one. That is just what he looks like.
Morgan & Morgause - longhair torties, Morgan has a darker coat pattern and Morgause is more red
Torties are associated with luck and magic and tortitude. Girlboss fairy witch cat color.
Lancelot - longhaired white cat with blue eyes
He’s just got white cat energy. They love to bite randomly and they have pretty privilege not much else.
Gawain - longhair creamsicle (orange and white)
Orange (stupid) and gorgeous. Ladies man. A little unhinged but not Lancelot levels.
Sir Dagonet the Fool - orange
He’s just orange. Most orange cat ever. Orange cat behavior and personality.
Sir Galehaut, Prince of the Distant Isles - tabby Maine Coon
He’s a gentle giant. He’s loyal. He’s noble. He’s beautiful.
Dame Ragnelle - calico Sphynx cat that has started randomly growing hair
It all falls out and she is her beautiful wrinkly self when the curse is broken.

Every day I love Blue Sargent just a little bit more like you're so right 17 year old girls should be vain and hypocritical and insane but also care so so deeply and and be so lovable and be full of contradictions and sensible and a bit messy and everything all at once.
