If Arthur had left Camelot, would Leon follow?

I’m just thinking through an idea for a fic, and I wonder what your thoughts are: if Arthur had rebelled against Uther and left Camelot for some reason, maybe to lead a rebellion or something, would Leon have gone with him? I’m just wondering if Leon would actually be a member of the Round Table in that scenario, or if he would have remained loyal to Uther until Uther’s death. Idk just thinking.

FANFIC RECS

Does anyone have any recommendations of fics that are closest to the actual Arthurian legends? Yk where Merlin is actually an allpowerful immortal sorcerer who's been alive long before Arthur? He doesn't necessarily need to look like Dragoon (ill accept both)

Did youtube remove Merlin?

Been watching merlin on YouTube and I can't stop, I'm on season 3. I go on there a bit ago and it's completely gone from the "free with ads" type videos. They aren't in my history, they're deleted. Why would they do this? Also where else can I watch it for free... every free site I've found has some caveat, like it's super blurry with no audio or has 7 ads every 10 minutes.

Merlin and Lancelot

When Lancelot first came to Camelot, were they sharing Merlin’s twin bed?

S3 Ep6 - The Changeling.

I don't know if I've used the right flair so please tell me if I have (I'm fairly new to Reddit.)

Anyway, has anyone else noticed Arthur and Elena's horses change? As they're leaving the palace, Elena is on a grey horse with a white mane, and Arthur is on a chestnut horse with a black mane. Once they stop at the river, Arthur dismounts a bay horse with a black mane, and Elena dismounts a grey horse with a greyish mane. Once they return to the palace, Arthur is once again on a chestnut horse.

It's hard to tell if Elena's horse changes, but Arthur's definitely does. Are there any other instances where something like this happens?

Merlin vs Gandalf

Who would win

Gandalf (Both grey and white) vs Merlin (with full magical power and >!Immortality!<)

Personally, Merlin seems to have better speed and reaction time, so in my opinion he has an edge

Youtube captions ship Uther/Mary Collins?

Rather than threatening Uther, according to the youtube captions, Mary Collins has other ideas...

Season 2 Episode 5 - Good thing he dodged that first kiss. The second one was different, cause he was already under her powerful spell, which made him ignore the taste of rotten fruits. I still remember my sister went: "ewwww" when we were watching this episode together, for the first time.

(Game of Thrones spoilers) Don't you think Morgana has many similarities to Daenerys Targaryen?

  • They both start off as very idealistic heroines, wanting to do good for the people, and suffering under an authority figure who is their closest relative (Viserys and Uther).
  • They are both wronged and betrayed, time and time again, which warps their view of good and evil.
  • They both have a supernatural gift, often associated with fire imagery.
  • They start off weak, and slowly but surely rise to possess unimaginable power.
  • They both form a close bond with a dragon (or more than one).
  • After losing their last remaining friend (Missandei/Mordred) they both snap completely.
  • In the end they turn into power hungry monarchs, the very thing they set out to destroy.
  • They are both betrayed (and killed) by a person they used to trust and love.
