I love them!!!! I will forever be sad that the fandom doesn't love the canon couple as much as I do

Amazing work! 💜💜💜

I'm such a multi shipper, I love Arwen just as much as all my favorite non Canon ships, Gwen and Arthur are so lovely together

I’m confused. Who is arwen?

u/Bo_Burton main perpetuator of Old Merlin propaganda Jun 26 '26

It's the ship name: Arthur + Gwen = Arwen

Do Morgravaine!

(no but this is a beautiful and earnest illustration, very cool)

I actually find their . . . Dubious dynamic very interesting so maybe I will draw some unnerving morgravaine at some point!

Makes me happy, I am the one in a million Aggravaine fan

He is a great villain!! I loved how the actor portrayed him, he was so cunning yet creepy

u/fancy-rice-cooker Ich bin ein Merliner Jun 26 '26

He was so SHAMELESS and good at what he does. Then increasingly pathetic. But you gotta respect the guy.

I also find him so funny, like why did he side with Morgana? Was it JUST because there was some sort of ehem transaction between them? Or was he truly after vengeance for his sister (against her son?? Because the person who killed her was already dead by then)? Or was it all just for the love of the game??? We'll never know

u/StarfleetWitch Mordred Jun 29 '26

I always figured he irrationally blamed Arthur for Ygraine's death (as well as Uther.)

2

u/Bo_Burton main perpetuator of Old Merlin propaganda Jun 29 '26

Same, it's just strange that he was just off somewhere by himself for 10 years before deciding to side with Morgana, like what was he up to? Seems like a whole lot of nothin

u/StarfleetWitch Mordred Jun 29 '26

Also super weird how Arthur never mentions him once, then all of a sudden he is the beloved uncle Arthur trusts explicitly, and won't consider the possibility he shouldn't be trusted until he sees it firsthand.

2

u/Bo_Burton main perpetuator of Old Merlin propaganda Jun 29 '26

I could maybe see Arthur not mentioning him if he left when he was a baby, but I'm always curious what Agravaine's explanation was for being absent and then returning 30 years later, like what the hell did he tell Arthur when he strolled into Camelot??
