#for sure they’ve both joked about Uther getting married to a troll or something worse when they were both anrgy at him

@unhingedmess I LOVE THIS

I was reminded of the Questing Beast from ‘To Kill the King’ which looked just as peculiar as something Morgana and Arthur might’ve scribbled when they were children. And Morgana’s childhood fear making a return in one of her first visions: that Arthur would be killed while playing White Knight.

And maybe the fact that Arthur knew what she was referring to when they met on the castle steps and she begged him not go, reminding him of the monsters they’d invented themselves. And he reassured her with an “it’ll be alright”….

The idea that they’d mess around like that as kids is so cute! When they’d just spent a few months together, Morgana new and stubborn to the court of Camelot, and not at all! warming up to Prince Arthur. But they’d find equal ground with their crude little drawings, to scare each other, passed behind the backs of their tutors during lessons, and maybe inadvertably create the monsters themselves?! (being that they are both ‘of magic’ and their emotions might’ve tempered without them being aware of it)

Maybe that’s where all the creatures of Camelot ‘came from’ lmao. Like the Wilddeoren, described as ‘giant baby rats’ and the Questing Beast and even the Unicorns!

Inventions of their shared imagination, populating a Kingdom they would one day fight to take from each other, just like when they were kids.

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’
