Gwen: Arthur, which dress should I wear today?
Arthur: You’ll look amazing in anything.
Gwen: Thanks, but I’m actually having a hard time deciding what to wear, so I’m asking you.
Arthur: You look beautiful everyday.
Gwen: I appreciate it, this isn’t a trick question, please just tell me what to wear today.
Arthur: Absolutely anything.
Gwen: This isn’t working.
Gwen: Merlin! Red dress or light purple one?
Merlin, shouting from the other room: Red! The purple one makes you look too friendly for council meetings!
Gwen: Thanks!
“Do you remember the first time I kissed you?”

arwen + freylin parallels
Medieval Welsh poetry refers to [Arianrhod] as possessing the cauldron of poetic inspiration (called ‘Awen’) and the Tale of Taliesin recounts her swallowing her servant Gwion Bach who is then reborn through her as the poet Taliesin. In the 12th century Gogynfeirdd or Poets of the Princes, according to Hutton, Ceridwen is transformed from a sorceress into a goddess of poetry. Robert Graves later fitted her into his concept of the Threefold Goddess, in which she was interpreted as a form of the destructive side of the goddess. (x)
Merlin 1x10 The Moment of Truth
had to make my own version of this (the original template was uhh… questionable)

ngl it does fascinate me on a level that people love lancelot and gwen over arthur and gwen. i think it says a lot about how people want to instantly fall in love because that’s what happened with them. they fell in love instantly and then lancelot left and the feelings still stayed but lancelot left because he saw competition. he didn’t even fully get confirmation that gwen liked arthur he just knew that arthur liked gwen and backed off immediately. meanwhile arthur and gwen are very much a growing relationship. yes sure when they start up it does feel sudden but they become to know and understand one another. they admire each other for their qualities but can also lighten/make fun of their flaws in a blunt way. it’s really cute to observe anyway they have YEARS to develop their dynamic as a whole with one another. they have years even outside of what we see meanwhile gwen and lancelot’s relationship is very much an immediate thing
