its kind of funny to me that people are misconstruing my merlin/morgana twt meme post to make merlin the girl and morgana the sinister homosexual in question. sentences that would kill a victorian child. anyway. true that they are both sinister homosexuals but he ruined her life FIRST and one thing about me is that im always on morganas side <3 except for when shes being mean to gwen of course. he should have just let her kill everyone in season 3 to be honest i mean he should learn to live a little like who carreessssss let her commit a war crime here and there. its fine! #sexism. women cant do shit these days

what if i was a girl who lost everything i ever loved in the end and you were a boy who lost everything you ever loved in the end and we both did it to ourselves on our path to mutual self destruction. avril lavigne voice can i make it any more obvious

hello

morgana 😐 drank 😐 the 😐 poison 😐 for 😐 merlin 😐

this happened to my friend morgana pendragon….

because at the end of the day it’s about how love and hate will destroy you equally. it’s about the fact that merlin and morgana both lost themselves because they became so consumed by their love and hate respectively that it made everything else not matter. because merlin loved arthur so much he hollowed himself out for the sake of it and morgana hated uther so much it ate her alive and became all she was

been thinking about what might have happened if morgana had told gwen about her magic in s1/2 before her turn - i’ve often heard people say that gwen would have sided with morgana and that it would have stopped her from turning evil. which i think is partially true but im honestly not convinced it would be that simple. i think gwen and morgana are somewhat character foils in a sense - gwen is selfless where morgana is selfish; gwen puts her morals before her feelings and morgana puts her feelings before her morals.

i think gwen would have sympathised with her and been on her side if she had told her, yes. that being said! if morgana had tried to kill uther, i can see gwen trying to stop her because of her nonviolent ideals. she says very explicitly that she believes killing uther would make her ‘just as bad as him’. while it’s not a sentiment i would personally agree with, her ideals are clearly very important to her. if morgana insisted on using violence (which i believe she would), i think they would have an ideological break and have become enemies regardless. only if she managed to talk morgana out of it would they be okay and morgana remain ‘good’. but i honestly don’t know if that would be the most likely outcome.

idk. it would have been an interesting plotline. gwen having to choose between morgana/magic users versus protecting uther who she hates but is against killing because of her principals. the ideological divide of nonviolence v political violence in the face of oppression. especially since gwen is not part of the oppressed class in this instance, but she IS in a much more vulnerable position than morgana class wise, so it could have thrown some nuance (which this show is allergic to!) into the mix. we could have had it all. they could have been so messy. but whatever!
