I’ve been re-watching “Merlin” with my mom and I had to draw something about it because it’s one of my favorites TV shows and I really need more of it .
Uhhh au where Merlin glamours aithusa in to a big white dog that he just has now. He convinces Arthur to let him keep it bc it’s “stupid luck won’t keep the bandits from clobbering me over the head forever y’know” which accidentally touches on a secret fear of that exact thing happening that Arthur complies easier than expected.
It maaaay be a bit difficult to explain why the dog occasionally coughs up soot but like,, don worry bout it
Aithusa is the biggest welsh sheepdog Arthur has EVER SEEN like she’s l a r g e. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen one that completely white and wonders how exactly Merlin of all people stumbled upon such a beauty.
The knights have been on a few excursions with her and by gods does she do her job well. During one of the extraordinarily frequent bandit attacks they witnessed this dog absolutely BODY a guy and maul his sword hand to shreds, blood dripping from her muzzle onto her white fur she truly looked like a beast. Merlin made a good effort in cleaning it off- admonishing her for messy habits n whatnot
During mealtimes she targets the weaker willed knights and bullies them into surrendering their scraps. Lancelot in particular seems to have an enduring softness for her, letting her yoink larger portions of his meat directly from his plate. She seriously seems to eat several times her weight in stolen treats it’s a problem.
This dog is FAR TOO COMFORTABLE NEAR FLAMES. poor Gwen almost had a heartattck seeing her stick her face DIRECTLY INTO THE FIREPLACE OH MY GOODNESS Gwen is frantically patting Aithusa’s face with a damp cloth hiding the soot stains from Merlin
Merlin holding up Aithusia: this is my daughter
Arthur: where the hell did you get that
Merlin: hatched her out of n egg.
Arthur: gods, fine- don’t tell me. I feel like I don’t want to know anyways.
using my new Aithusa mug for the first time✌️it looks amazing! Design by @maryluis . yall can find this and her other awesome merlin designs over at her redbubble here✨
