Moments when Gwen has made my stomach
Very nice of the writers to have Arthur throw a jousting tournament for Gwen as an engagement present considering how a jousting tourment was the key factor in why they had had their first kiss.
If you’ve ever watched BBC Merlin and if you’ve also ever studied Macbeth, you will know that prophecies can’t be trusted in the slightest because they seem so beneficial for our protagonists at first at but the further you get along with the story, it turns out shit for them with a lot of blood and death.
oh wow,,, i just realised Mordred stabbed Arthur in his side for a reason… He could’ve easily killed Arthur straight away right then and there in that moment at Camlann yet he stabbed him in side where it wouldn’t kill him instantly. I was just thinking, Mordred had been training as a knight under Arthur I’d be surprised if he didn’t know how to kill someone instantly. And then it hit me that that’s what he wanted, he wanted Arthur to suffer like he had suffered before he died. He could’ve also known that not killing Arthur instantly would awake hope in Merlin that he could maybe save him only knowing that it would inevitably be crushed- I’m assuming Merlin most likely used his magic to keep Arthur alive longer than he should’ve been here. It also adds weight to the smile after Arthur had stabbed him back. Which I may I mentioned was a fatal stab meaning Arthur most likely had no desire to see Mordred suffer before he died because he still felt that profound fondness for a boy who he would’ve thought of like his son.
Elyan literally canonically said that Gwen raised him,,, oh yeah and then the writers killed him off and Gwen was left with no family because there was apparently some reason to do that. I’m not convinced.
Look-
Gwen most likely had to grow up really quickly for reasons we never found (thank you BBC) and take care of Elyan which makes me think what the hell was Tom doing at the time and was their mother anywhere to be seen-?
My god couldn’t the BBC just given us a little more than a smudge i want to know their backstory.

Subtle parallels-Gwen confronting Morgana and Arthur about their profound fondness for Mordred.
“You’re risking so much for this boy.”/“I do believe you’ve grown fond of him.”

Gwen didn’t have kids with Arthur because then she would’ve been a cottagecore mega milf and we could not have handled the sheer power from her as that.
Gwen and Merlin carried BBC Merlin for being the strongest characters. Thank you, that was it.
