Arthur is my boyfriend, I’ll take him and Lancelot and Morgana and hell Elaine and Kay can come too, Maris, Bretta, and at least a good 50% of Guenevere’s characters honestly.
To me, Arthur is the funny man to everyone’s straight man. He really does brighten up the day even if it does come with a side of chores. Without him, everything would just be politics and bland. And don’t forget you Morgana lovers without our marriage to Arthur we would have never met her.
G- Ok people this is a good news, bad news and great news situation.
The good news is that I’m going to unite all together in peace.
The great news is that I’m going to accomplish all this with my new wife the lady Morgana.
(Gwen and Morgana share a passionate kiss.)
Random lord- But what about your husband?
G- sigh That’s the bad news.
(Gwen reveals a duffel bag and empties it. The heads of Arthur, Lance and King lott roll out. There are gaspes in the crowd.)
G- I had to kill these three. But don’t worry I’m going to be a fair and just roller like always. Now for the new laws. Women will be masters of their families and homes, men will do the work, we will make the decisions. Next…
Random lord- ENOUGH! I will not sit by and let this country fall to ruin. Death to the Queen!
(south from the crowd rise. Gwen points at the Lord incinerating him with dark magic.)
G- Any one else?
(Morgana stands next to Gwen, dark energy flowing and pulsating from them. A young Lord runs out and kneels before them)
There then proceeds to be a broad based peasant, ex soldier, and noble led rebellion. With Merlin in charge presumably they stand little chance. Pitchforks don’t beat magic after all, and Merlin is into that light magic nonsense.
I am so glad Guen will be able to marry Morgana. Thank you @jeantown for such wonderful news.
Divorce would mean acknowledging the validity of those so-called “marriages” in the first place. Still, Arthur and Lot had better hope a non-lethal legal way to free Guen and Morgana comes about. Camelot is in desperate need of a cultural revolution and Guen may certainly be inspired enough to pursue just that.
Unless it is a magical pitchfork…and to be honest, I don’t know anyone who would want a magical pitchfork, unless they are a stableboy and it helps them clean out stables faster.
This is interesting! And leads to a bunch of different thoughts for me (sorry for the upcoming question dump). Is the prohibition against divorce thing true in all cases, or is it especially so in Guen’s and Morgana’s case where their marriages are political-alliance based? If two people get married for love, is divorce still a no-go? Does the anti-divorce sentiment come from the canon of Goddess-worship, or is it secular societal taboo? Would there be legal consequences if a couple seperated and one or both of them remarried, or would the consequences be limited to social fallout (e.g., broken alliances)?
