Great Morgana Icons

[happyevraftr]

These two icons (not my own, credit is given) really just explain my feelings on Morgana's character. Especially with her facial expressions at the end of the latest episode.

She's killed innocent ppl and I know she's not redeemable, but she just makes me so sad! (Some of the time...like when I think how she was in season one)

Anyways..just thought I'd share that random thought.

(p.s. yorkshirewench has some of the best merlin icons...go check them out)

Oh, geez, I totally agree! I think Morgana is very much a victim of circumstance, and although she's done terrible things, she's also been let down by the people in her life. Since Morgause was the only one to really make her feel valued and accepted, it isn't hard to understand why things went the way they did. (And I've always thought that Merlin and especially Gaius should take some responsibility for the way they left her in the dark, alone and confused and believing that everyone she cared about would hate her for who she was).

Also, pretty icons are pretty!

Yeah, I always thought Merlin should have tried to do more. I realize he did try some, but the poor girl thought she was literally going insane! Then when she figured out it was magic I can only imagine the extra amount of fear it must have caused

Exactly. I mean, I feel for Merlin, too, but the show (and Gaius & Kilgharrah) have made a point of Morgana 'choosing' darkness, when I don't feel like she was really given many options. It can be argued that Morgana would've went dark in the end anyway, which is possible, but I think ~this version of Morgana (versus the Morgana in many of the legends) had an extremely strong sense of justice and would've gone about things in a different way if she hadn't felt so alone. It's one of the things I love about Merlin, really! None of the characters are really black and white evil, and the fandom, especially, does such an amazing job of showing that.
