I like Gwen. I do think that she became a boring character though. She should've done a lot more but I was so pleased when she figured out Merlin had magic. Some people will say that was just more mary sue but idk I loved it and I thought she was great.

Let's be real a lot of her Merthur haters (not shading Merthur, it's my otp to end all otps) aren't capable of being critical of her character or seeing the actual problems with it and only hate her because she doesn't have a penis and because she's a poc. I once saw a post saying it's not historically accurate for Arthur to be with a black woman and the post had 200 notes. Um, it's not accurate for HUMAN CIVILIZATION ON EARTH to have magic and dragons. I know this secret isn't about Merthur v Arwen but damn.

Super-late to the party, but on the off-chanc you'll see this, next time someone DARES argue about inaccuracy about race and (early) medieval representation, just point them to this: http://www.yorkshiremuseum.org.uk/page/ViewNewsArticle.aspx?ArticleId=30

And if they go on about late-medieval, you can remind them that the medieval Arthurian stories (1200 onward) often included 'Saracen' (i.e., Moorish, not-white) knights that converted. Palamedes FTW.
