Is anyone playing ‘Guinevere’ on Choices?

Because choosing to interact with Lancelot over Arthur at every opportunity is so funny to me.

Merlin: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Elyan: Several traffic violations.

Arthur: Three counts of resisting arrest.

Gwaine: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Lancelot: Also, that's not our car.

Arthur is looking for Merlin, unfortunately Merlin is nowhere in sight in fact he's been captured by the fashion fairies!

In order to save Merlin and return him safely to his king, we must first strike a deal with the fairies.

you know those moments when arthur is ready to go off and face whatever it is alone but the knights volunteer one by one? yeah, there's just something about the way arthur always looks to merlin last, like he's terrified of both answers, like yes is a death sentence and no is a betrayal, the way he looks to merlin last not because he's least but because by rights he shouldn't be going anywhere near whatever battle they're about to face but arthur has grown so accustomed to merlin's presence right by his side against whatever danger they're facing today that he wouldn't know what to do without merlin there, the way merlin always looked so shocked whenever arthur looks to him, like there ever was a choice, because in those moments arthur considers him an equal, a knight by all but title, and the way arthur lights up every time merlin says he'll go.

The symbolism with Arthur Morgan and King Arthur from the Arthurian legends is going to make my mind explode in this essay I will-

Guinevere marrying King Arthur

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

actually i can't stop thinking about this now. like, from jarthur's pov, the convo with yellow in The Order is the emotional resolution of arthur acknowledging that yellow's only sin was being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it's arthur's own fault things turned out the way they did. it's also him getting to be petty and annoy larson at the same time for a fun bonus but that's unrelated

from noel's pov though?? ten minutes ago he thought he was gonna be facing down with the outer god who tortured him for ten years nonstop. he was prepared to do Anything At All to avoid falling back into his clutches. and now this random anemic underfed brit he came in with is? shamelessly antagonizing him with zero fear? looking at the mainstay of his worst nightmares with pity? going "you're so far beneath me that i feel responsible for and sorry for you." and he's done this twice?? there's been two different fragments of The King Himself in his head and not only is he not dead, not only has he not been driven completely mad, he's playing this one like a goddamn cheap kazoo. earlier noel watched yellow take a man and drive him to bash his own brains out so he knows how far from toothless he is. arthur just called him a pet. he's calling him yellow for fuck's sake. he gave the KIY a stupid diminutive nickname and is absolutely unconcerned by how pissed off he's getting which is fair because no consequences are materializing for him. and this is the bad end, apparently. the other king fragment is just like, a guy now? he wants to be called john. larson is making fun of him for being sensitive. like, actually, what the fuck. how did he do that. why did he do that. noel didn't even think he knew the king. why did he not mention any of this at any point before just now.

like, this is all possible bc yellow and john are both just fragments, but the more relevant thing is that you kind of can't tell that because arthur carries himself like the idea of the king being any kind of a threat to him is laughable. honestly really impressive that noel just goes along with it. im dying to know his internal reaction to arthur's "your whole 'i'm a god' shtick is honestly so sad and pathetic and i'm sorry for how many times i kicked you while i had you trapped and collared" thing to yellow. then again he did also see how he dealt with collins earlier so maybe he's just realizing that arthur's completely incorrigible at all times constantly. what was i talking about again. anyway.

I wonder if Merlin convinced/asked King uther to adopt Arthur

Than she set up Excalibur so Arthur could be king

Why is Merlin going to these lens for Arthur of all people considering there have been other chaos users and as long as Merlin's been around I'm sure there have been other humans she could have given Excalibur to and help them become a great ruler a king in order to use chaos why does she have to

pick Arthur pacifically I wonder I know it goes with the Arthurien Legends and all but why is it in this story Merlin shows Arthur that's just one of the many things that was never really cleared up like there's a bit more about their past we don't know and then there is the stuff that happened in between the end of seven deadly sins till what we're looking at currently I've been trying to piece the timeline together

From what I can tell it goes in this order

First we have the end of the seven deadly sins after the god-awful chaos ark

Then we have the safe by light movie which I'm still convinced a large majority of this fandom has not watched including myself I got the screenshots I have with Arthur and Merlin in it off of a YouTube clip

Then there's the next part from the night from the beginning of the manga who the age the characters when they've got to the Crystal caves I can't remember his name right now

And he showed how Arthur recruited him and it seems this happened right after the demon King's my asthma was affecting the southern Britannia and our large amount of people in it right after the attack the when the demon King finally was defeated or whatever around this time so could Arthur's personality have begun to split and he not know it at the time where chaos was in control and then he would go back to normal and then at some point it was just completely chaos and control

Cuz looking back at it Arthur's outfit is the exact same as it was from the movie unless Merlin just made him multiple copies of the same outfit cuz they were working on just rebuilding Camelot at the time so focusing on appearance and what they look like wasn't probably a top priority which is understandable so Arthur just has multiple of the same outfits in different colors because even in color we see that this outfit is the same one from the movie just in Black

Or maybe the my asthma was just so bad that it had a longer lasting effect on Britannia I'm wondering and this takes a place a bit later this could be a year later from when the movie was set because if I'm correct from what people have told me king and Diane were getting married in the

movie so I'm guessing it took place a few weeks maybe a few months to maybe several months later cuz that's how long it takes to plan a wedding or whatever so this could be several months later and Arthur started to turn at that point and maybe at

first Merlin didn't notice it because around her even though he was still with seemingly seems to be depressed about everything that happened with Camelot and trying to rebuild it he was still trying to maintain his own personality but glimpses of chaos would come through

I'm trying to piece together the timeline and what's happening with Arthur's personality because it's clear like we all been saying from the beginning it's been chaos and control not Arthur and personal having Spirit magic I think will be a driving Factor helping bringing the real Arthur back there was also the theory and I mentioned in another post before that I saw from Reddit where someone had

mentioned that Arthur could have been being controlled by the spirits and Excalibur but I think it's pretty clear especially when looking at the anime and color and you see Arthur's eyes change you see more white in his eyes than his own color of his eyes which are purple meaning that chaos truly is slowly taking over Arthur

(sorry I don't have a visual for this right now Tumblr won't let me post any more pictures in this post )

I'm assuming Arthur is Chaos's first true host it's had full length too I

believe before maybe at some point on chaos was creating humans it puts larger parts of itself in certain humans so that way maybe one day it could have a host and maybe Excalibur was always the key to that but it got corrupted over time and at

some point the Lady of the lake meant Merlin and told her about the key to chaos and maybe that's why she used Excalibur to wake and Arthur since Excalibur seems to just be a chaos key I don't think it was meant to hold the spirits of the heroes but for some reason it did and now that chaos is more free and had gained more control over time I'm

guessing within a year or maybe even a couple years it fully consumed Arthur and about 10 years ago from what pellegard said that's when Arthur's fully started to change because it was around part two after the time skipping for nights and and Donnie met pellegard he mentioned he hadn't been able to fully understand Arthur's motives and almost 10 years something major had had to change where Arthur was willing to fully let chaos consume him

In Merlin disappeared or maybe chaos trapped her away or something but we can tell that Merlin has been active there have been hints that she's possibly hiding in lions , and then there's gwaian who I believe isn't like a clone or hybrid or anything I believe she's just like a normal baby that Merlin saw had magic potential maybe like she did with Vivian and Arthur so she left the granny golem with her to train her to use magic and sunshine is something Merlin enchanted on to her as it's next host so Sunshine could be active again and possibly used to defeat Arthur or at least stop chaos at some point the same can be sailed the Lady of the lake who I believe still had some magic left over from one Merlin had the seven deadly sins send their magic towards the leg during their battle with the demon king and there was some residue magic left over and the lady of the late gave it to Lance a lot which is why he's so overpowered and people say he's on the same level as the seven deadly sins is because he has some of their magic in him

what if arthur's bane was merlin all along
