002; "My Lady, My Champion", Arthur&Morgana picspam - 14 reasons why they're epic, PART 1
Here's the first part of the picspam I made for the challenge at merlin_land :). I got a little carried away, especially when it came to my favourite scenes, so I had to divide it into two entries ^^.
Please, also remember that everyone has favourite characters and pairings and I respect others' choices so do the same. Interesting discussion is always nice but if you're here to bash my preferences, just don't comment.
My Lady, My Champion
Arthur & Morgana picspam - 14 reasons why they're epic, PART 1
1. She dazzles him so easily.
Arthur: God have mercy.
So this is the first ArMor scene :D. We can certainly see this huge chemistry between them from this very moment. I mean - only look at Arthur's face :D. They became my OTP afterthis exact scene <3.
2. He finds her beautiful.
Arthur: Here's trouble. Tell me, do you think her... beautiful?
Lancelot: Yes sire, I do.
Arthur: Yeah, I suppose she is.
Again, we have Morgana in that lovely red dress that attracts everybody's attention :D. Just look how Arthur stares at her, add to that their little dialogue and you need nothing more =). I love it when she teases him :D.
3. She cares about him more than anyone else.
Morgana: Let me. I used to help my father with his armour.
Arthur: Thanks.
Morgana: Arthur. Be careful.
Arthur: See you at the feast.
It's my favourite scene so far. Everything is stunning - music, their long stares, silence so thick of emotions that you could cut with the knife. It's beautiful - every time I watch it I keep my eyes on the screen. For me it's a little masterpiece ♥.
Morgana: Okay, let the bragging begin. How did you manage it?
Arthur: I'm not sure. All I do know is I had help. Someone new I was in trouble and sent a light to guide the way.
Morgana: Who?
Arthur: I don't know. But whoever it was, I'm only here because of them.
Morgana: I'm glad you're back.
Short but very sweet scene - I love it when she tells him she's glad that he is back and however much I adore their banter I also love them talking so normally.
Morgana: I don't want you to fight tomorrow.
Arthur: You're worried about me?
Morgana: I don't know what it is. Please, I'm begging you.
Arthur: I have to do this. It's my duty.
Morgana: I understand.
Another short scene but again it shows how much Morgana cares for Arthur. And how much she knows him to be able to understand that he can't let down his father and despite the danger has to fight.
Morgana: Arthur!
Arthur: Morgana, what are you doing?
Morgana: You cannot face it!
Arthur: Morgana, go back to bed. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Morgana: Please, Arthur, I have seen terrible things. You cannot go.
Merlin: She's probably had a bad dream, sire. I'll take her to see Gaius.
Morgana: No, I will not let you go!
Arthur: Please, Merlin, get her inside.
Morgana: No!
Merlin: I will make sure he's safe, my lady. I promise.
Morgana: No! No!
A very emotional scene, it's almost painful to watch Morgana like that. And I'm always angry that Merlin had to interrupt and she couldn;t make Arthur stay, though we see that when she's almost inside he looks at her wondering what this 'scene' meant.
4. She always supports him.
Is she worried? Of course she is. Just as much as she is conent and happy when he wins :D. We all know that this whole Valiant thing was only to make him jealous ^^. Just look how she cheers :D.
5. She's always there to help him.
And here she's the first one to react and this time the one who saves Arthur's life. Also, I love her reaction throught the whole fight.
6. She's the one who believes in him, no matter what.
Arthur: Morgana, you shouldn't get involved. It's dangerous.
Morgana: Spare me the lecture. I've already had it from Uther.
Arthur: You weren't the only one.
Morgana: Not that I listen to him. Sometimes you have to do what you think is right and damn the consequences.
Arthur: You think I should go.
Morgana: It doesn't matter what I think.
Arthur: If I don't make it back, who will be the next king of Camelot? There's more than just my life in stake.
Morgana: And what kind of king would Camelot want? One that would risk his life to save that of lowly servant? Or one that does what his father tells him to?
I always liked the fact that Morgana saw in Arthur better material for a king - that she believed he can rule the kingdom with his heart and won't be as cruel as Uther. I think she could pull out the best of him.
Morgana: You. How proud you must be - son of the mighty Uther. How you must look up to him. Does the king's little helper bring the message or have you just come to gloat?
Arthur: Guards.
Morgana: Get away from me, you cowards.
Arthur: You're free to go. Morgana.
Morgana: Yes?
Arthur: I swore to him you'd never challenge his authority again. I swore that you'd learned your lesson. Tread carefully. Next time I may not be able to help you.
Morgana: Thank you. You're a better man than your father. Always were.
And one more time, I love how she stresses the last sentence - that Arthur is better than Uther. And that he risked in front of his father to release her from dungeons.
7. They can kick ass and know how to play with sword like no one else.
Morgana: Bring back memories of when I used to beat you?
Arthur: That never happened.
Okay, I adore this scene - it's amazing. Especially kickass!Morgana who we don't see like that very often :D. And their little bickering about her beating him up is priceless ^^. Plus - does anyone notice how Katie looks straight at the camera on the first pic from the fourth row? Okay, now I see what she meant when she said in one of the interviews that shee looks to gleeful when she carries a sword. Yep, I see this crazy glimpse in her eyes and now I'm not surprised at all that everybody gets nervous when she's armed, lol xD.
