Something that makes me sad about Gwen is the change in her wardrobe. As a servant, she wears so many beautifully light, bright colors. Once she becomes queen, her colors are so much darker and stark.
To me, it’s a reflection of her mental state. I’ve talked about it before, but I feel she’s so lonely as queen and her life is so void of happiness. When I watched the fifth season for the first time I felt like she just didn’t feel like her or even look like her and I couldn’t figure out why until this.
Don’t get me wrong, she has every reason to not be the same and not dress the same. She’s been through so much. It just pains me. She looks like a queen, but she doesn’t look like Guinevere.
The only dress she ever wore as queen that felt like her was the one on her coronation. Beautiful, bright Guinevere.
The idea that Merlin, an immortal near deity, fell in love with the personification of the afterlife, and he kept handing every lover, friend, and piece of his heart over to her for safe keeping since he trusted her completely with all that they were and will be again. Giving her his love in the only way he can, by passing along people that meant the most to him…
Merlin and Mordred telepathically having long discussions debating one method over another ✨peer reviewing the magic✨ and Arthurs’ just confused as hell 🤨⁉️
I meant to only check tumblr idly for a moment - like, 2 hours ago - but instead I saw this, stopped what I was doing and drew this lol
