i haven't been able to stop thinking about how these two are parallel variations of the guinevere archetype that complement and contrast each other so, so perfectly: tashi is a woman who above all else wants to be a champion. fate cruelly takes her dream away from her, so she opts to marry and live vicariously through the (blond) man who loves her (named arthur). she molds him in her image and helps him rise to greatness in her stead but it's not enough, he's never good enough. gwen is a woman who never truly expects to have power but it is thrust upon her through the (blond) man she marries for love (named arthur). she, too, uses her wisdom and leadership to mold her husband and help him rise to greatness. she believes in him, but fate and the world outside their bubble do not. he is not good enough for them. fate wants her. both women and their husbands set aside their desires to focus on the bigger picture (said desires partially exemplified by brunettes who may be exceptional but don't quite fit into the high-stakes social structure), and yet, despite everything they've sacrificed, despite navigating their lives with the utmost grace and caution, in the end both women lose the things they worked hardest for. but they do, however, gain the things they've needed the most: gwen loses her soulmates/family but gains immeasurable independence and the power to use her wisdom and talent on an enormous scale (the sort of thing tashi would've killed for). tashi loses her dream and her claim to power but she gains a family of two soulmates who adore each other and her (the sort of family unit gwen would surely have preferred more than anything). HOWEVER. crucially. although they'd never admit it and the story never quite spells it out. their respective fates align perfectly with who they truly are, deep down.
#ive been saying this delusionally since rewatching merlin so thanks for making it sound not delusional anymore#merlin#challengers

Do you think it's embarrassing for dragons to be killed by humans or is it like a bee allergy situation

They're friends :)
It's sad that Linnéa and Elias didn't get more time together before the events of Cirkeln because Linnéa seemed to be the only one who ever understood him :(

"Marxist-leninist" Girl just say fascist.
Marxist-Leninists actually did the most work towards defeating fascism like in real life and not in political compass posting world
