It's cool when Merthur fics go in depth on homophobia of the time plots but also if there is any medieval setting where you can have the King just decide to say "fuck social convention" and do what he wants its THE ONE WHO USED A ROUND TABLE FOR HIS KNIGHTS

We're pretty used to the concept by now but I dont think we always appreciate how batshit insane Arthur is. Or how crazy it is the amount of unthinkable stunts he gets away with. the magic was secondary to aurhurian legends when the real fantasy was a King who would and could radically change the system that kept the lower classes powerless and unseen

Just the king with his baby boo 💋

Some illustrations I made in collaboration with @magnoliapearl for the Cards of Camelot deck! Magnolia was the heart and mind behind this project; I was but a humble labourer getting to illustrate her wonderful interpretations and designs.

Merlin, Morgan La Fey, Arthur and Mordred.

🤔 Appearance wise, Merlin doesn't look much older than Morgan in the Camelot show. I would put him in his late 30's and I would put her in her late 20's. (It doesn’t help either that the actor and actress have a 10 year difference as well).

If we go with just appearance, that would mean Merlin was a young man, making himself known to the world, when he met Uther.

Starz Igraine commented that present!Merlin did not look any different from the day he took newborn Arthur from her arms tho. And that event happened 18-20 years prior (im not sure of starz arthur's age lol)

And a that time Morgan should've been around 10-15 (i cant peg her younger self to a specific age either) I always think that Merlin and Uther were kinda of the same age especially in more faithful screen adaptations like Excalibur 1981 (tho merlin appearance never changes), Merlin 1998 and Starz Camelot 2011

But in the legends didn't Uther meet Merlin as a young boy? or maybe im wrong.. i havent finished reading the early parts of prose merlin.

Painted a copy of “Arthurian Myths and Legends” with some scenes inspired by Merlin!

A great tv show and definitely my favorite Arthurian myth retelling

"his life is worth a thousand of mine" sounds like a line from a tragic romance, classic novel that puts others like it to shame.

and yet, it is literally from bbc merlin, a show about a magic servant that tries to sacrifice himself for the life of his prince everyday.

but tbh, king arthur and merlin are a tale of tragic romance and a classic novel.

merthur marriage of convenience. arthur is complaining that his council is on his ass about marrying and siring an heir and they keep trying to arrange marriages but arthur doesn't fucking want any of them. merlin knows that arthur would like to marry someone he loves but he also knows that arthur has shown no interest in like anyone except when he was enchanted so like...who tf is he gonna marry? he needs to marry someone to get the council off his ass so he's just like "why not marry a friend? ik it wouldn't be a marriage of love but at least you'd have some control and choice in this." and arthur is like "hm. but who tho?"

anyways they make a list of everyone they know who can bear children (bc arthur will need an heir eventually). then they narrow it down, crossing off names like gwen bc she is happily married to lancelot and in a loving relationship with morgana (she has two hands and i love morgwencelot) and morgana (she's literally arthur's sister but they were just putting every name they could think of down first) and elyan (he may be able to bear children but they know he wouldn't be happy going through it bc of medieval dysphoria). eventually it's down to two names, mithian and merlin and arthur looks at merlin's name then up at him and is like "you're literally a trained physician so you should know this but you were literally born a man...how tf are you gonna bear children?" and my beloved genderfluid magic incarnate emrys just shifts her form to female and is like "don't be an idiot. anyways, mithian or me?"

dumb idiot whipped and in love arthur is like "you" and dumb idiot whipped and in love merlin is like "bet". anyways they marry but they're very insistent it's just as friends. lol they have to consummate the marriage the losers. they insist they did that as friends too. the entire round table has way too much fun with this. anyways they remain married "as friends" as they slowly morph into a very loving and touchy relationship "as friends" until they're like casually kissing as greetings and farewells and have that moment of "oh shit we're like actually married and in love" bc they're stupid dumb idiots.

anyways they unite albion and are recognized as high king arthur and high queen merlin and finally have an heir - the high prince/princess whatever you prefer. uhhhh anyways merthur happy ending bc i'm a sucker for it.

Gwaine: Man, I'm fed up with these two, we have to do something.

Elyan: What are you talking about?

Gwaine: Arthur and Merlin and their stupid desperate flirting

Elyan: What? Flirting?

Gwaine: Are you blind?!!! Of course they flirt. If not, what would you call that?

Gwaine: *turns elyan's face to where Merlin and Arthur are being separated by Lance and Leon while they yell at each other*

Elyan: Social incompetence?
