#it's more likely than you think#ok has anyone written meta about religion in merlin or#i don't mean based on historical facts#i mean literally based on merlin canon#because i'm fascinated#they didn't dwell too much on it (for understandable reasons)#but that scene where merlin talks to his mother and says “THE GODS will protect me”?#implying they're both polytheists#whereas arthur and gaius say things like “thank god”#i'm reading too much into things again probably#i just want to know if the writers gave it some thought even if it wasn't included in the show#i don't know shit about the introduction of christianity to britain but like#isn't it roughly around this time that it was gaining predominance over paganism (5th-ish century??)#so it's possible yeah? idk idk#i just wanna know if the writers thought about any of this#or if merlin mentioning “the gods” was just a random line#merlin#bbc merlin#ramblings#merlin meta#eta: pls read added meta in the reblogs!
