I'm currently rewatching the dark tower for reasons (fic reasons), and when Gwen said "Morgana's enchanted it to protect me," it rang an alarm bell, this time 'round.

"[...]to protect me."

hm. huh. you don't say. interesting. As in, the knights are the enemy not the rescuers? hm. curious.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it (i mean, hey, that's the fun of it), but that choice of language stood out to me.

#I've got more thoughts on this but i don't really have the time for it rn #(i.e. I'm trying very very hard to focus on this fic im writing and im being so cool about it and not struggling at all lol)#so have this half-baked observation merlin fandom #but feel free to add if u guys got any thoughts ��#anyway i've never been the biggest fan of the evil gwen arc #do I absolutely love angel coulby's acting throughout it? YES. that was incredible and she deserves all the awards #was the dolma an instant shot of serotonin and i clap like a happy seal when she waltzes onscreen? yes #was the arthur/gwen moment in the cauldron of arianrhod absolutely gorgeous and beautiful? yes #but do i think - narratively - that it took up far too much time in the final season that was better suited elsewhere? yes #i could write essays on where the attention should've been directed...#anyway yes fic writing i've distracted myself enough #bbc merlin #merlin #sir elyan #guinevere pendragon #bbc gwen #bbc elyan #the dark tower #merlin meta #meta #ren rambles #scheduled
