Denial. Plain and simple.

Uther hates to hear anything has a magical explanation.

@tansyuduri @miyriu @samwinjester @neptunesyellowsands @godmerlin

Why is Uther always surprised when his enemies use magic? Like, they hate him because they have magic and he wants to kill them for it. So they try to kill him with magic. And every time, he’s like, “They can’t use magic. That’s illegal.”

So this is a thing

[sugar-coated-prat-dragon]

hii!! 😊👋🏻

is there any info on Arthur’s and Merlin’s horses in the books? their names, maybe their personalities? or anyone else's horse?

Hi! Thank you for the question. 🐎 😇

In “Valiant”, Arthur makes it clear that he has multiple horses and that his servant cares for all of them.

Arthur: “My horses need grooming ..”

In “Lancelot and Guinevere”, Merlin admits to never having ridden a horse before coming to Camelot and even now he preferred to walk, if the choice were offered to him.

Merlin treated any horses he encountered with a degree of suspicion and wariness.

Sadly, the feeling seemed to be mutual.

Nonetheless, Merlin’s horse in that moment was a placid mare which tolerated his presence and (simply followed Arthur's great, dark stallion).

- In “The Death of Arthur”, Merlin realized he’d need a dependable horse to get to the Isle of the Blessed- a horse which not only had to be fast, but it would also need great stamina to cope with the trek.

Since he was the prince’s servant, he had access to the royal stables and he took the prince's favourite stallion to use for his journey.

So in the books the only mentions are of Merlin having a placid mare and Arthur having a great, dark stallion, but unfortunately no names.

And of course, Merlin borrowed Arthur’s stallion in the episode ‘Le Morte D'Arthur’.

Horses mentioned Behind the Scenes with the actors:

Colin’s horse is a Welsh Cob sec. D named "Diablo". (Sadly, Diablo has only one eye because the other one had to be removed due to a tragic incident where he was kicked in the head when he was running with the mares, and because of the trauma, a cataract later formed in one eye. Which then had to be removed surgically).

Bradley's horses in show are called either Toranto/Torento, Flyer and Rabanete

Colin's horses in the show are called Diablo, Korra, and reportedly, Sabio (while filming in Wales)

Zaleno … was Angel's horse in the UK

Horses mentioned in the Arthurian legends: (I found these online; I can't speak for how accurate they are to the various legends)

Arthur's horses are Llamrei, the mare and Hengroen, the stallion.

Llamrei – This is the name of King Arthur’s mare. She was said to have been a gift from the Irish king, who had come to challenge Arthur’s rule.

Hengroen – This was King Arthur’s stallion. It was said to have been able to gallop across the sea.

There is also a rock in Wales called "Carn March Arthur", or the "Stone of Arthur's Horse", which is said to have a hoof print left by Llamrei while pulling the Addanc monster from Llyn Barfog.

Gwaine's horse in legend is Gringolet

Merlin describes Lancelot's horse as named Gringalet in the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, which is said to be due to its great strength. In The Awntyrs of Arthure, Gringalet is also called "Grissell" and is killed in combat while Gawain is riding it.

Gwaine's horse: Gringolet. His horse plays no wonderful part, but is always referred to as "Gawain's Horse, Gringolet." In French the name is Le Grin golet.

Galath – This was the name of one of King Arthur’s horses. It was said to have been able to run as fast as a swallow.

Day 7 of @merthurweek2023! Prompt: magic reveal + canon era.

Five times Arthur lies, and one time he doesn't.

I have LOVED participating in this event! All my gratitude to my betas and the organizers of Merthur Week for making this happen <3

[sugar-coated-prat-dragon]

I absolutely love that episode! 🧡

I hope you don’t mind, but I wanted to add a few of my favorite Merthur book moments from that episode.

The episode really doesn’t capture the Merthur (💕) moments in as much depth as the novel.

My favorite line: Justice was the king’s responsibility; Merlin was Arthur’s

Arthur thought that exactly line when he was picking up Merlin’s unconscious body and carrying him to the physicians room. 💘

Other favorite moments:

- Arthur noting that Merlin’s body had become still and lifeless after the convulsions, therefore he had become rather heavy. Yet, Arthur admits to himself that he would have carried him as long as necessary.

- Arthur mentally yelling at Gaius to “do something!” Because he’s freaking out over Merlin struggling to breathe.

- Arthur helping Gaius to remove Merlin’s jacket and loosening his tunic as he tries to help him deal with the fever.

- Arthur admitting to himself that he didn’t see any handholds in the rock over by the Mortaeus flower and yet simply trusting there would be something over there when he jumped…because he was desperate to save Merlin.

- Arthur admitting to himself that there was “a connection between them” (not that he would tell Merlin, of course).

Arthur didn’t want Merlin to die. (“want” is emphasized purposefully in the books text)

- Arthur’s every instinct was urging him to defy the king and rescue Merlin.

Arthur’s “heart” was telling him it was the right thing to do.

- Arthur admitted to himself that he’d never lightly volunteer for humiliation in the stocks and yet doing it for Merlin’s sake.

- After Merlin was saved, he admitted to himself that he sensed the bond tying him to Arthur connected them more closely the. he’d imagined.

He also knew they would never be able to put any of it into words, or even acknowledge it to each other.

Y’all remember when Arthur basically proved how he already had feelings for Merlin as early as S1 EP4 when he traveled to the caves of Mount Argeaus in the forest of Balor to get that morteaus flower to save Merlin’s life?

Yeah, me too
