Elyan Bbc - Tumblr Posts
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OK
(long paragraphs incoming you've given me too much freedom here)
I totally think Elyan would be act like such a an insufferable older sibling, like, I don't know the age gap between him and Gwen but I like to imagine it at NO MORE THAN two years so they grew up close and I love them for it
He's a blacksmith (before knighthood) because family trade and all that but he was never fully connected with it, it was just something to help him earn a living.
He FOR SURE could have made a living traveling and gambling (sort of Gwaine adjacent, if you will) but he didn't because he wanted to stay central to where Gwen is, even when they were no contact.
His favorite color is green. He probably really likes sweets and his fatal flaw is his compassion (come on we all watched the episode with the druid spirit). If given the choice yes he absolutely would make a bet and you better believe he'd win. He's probably tried doing magic after the ban is lifted (because it will be lifted) and found that it's just not for him, but he won't shut up that he TRIED it like a middle aged mom talks about partying in her college years.
He makes his own clothes because Gwen showed him how and now he's better at sewing than she is (she doesn't mind, in fact, she's the one who wanted to continue the blacksmithing in the family anyway)
Percival knew Lancelot because he once bailed him out from another kingdom's dungeons because it definitely was his fault he was there anyway. He was probably an only child but grew up with other children so he didn't get to be insufferable.
He's got two moms. He just does I don't know how to explain it. His favorite plant is a tree, and he probably beefed with the squirrels that lived near his home growing up because they never nested in his preferred trees.
He's absolutely awful at lying and doesn't have a subtle bone in his body, his fatal flaw is his single mindedness. He's got a thought? Going to happen you can't stop it he's gone.
okay next question: what do you think percival and elyan are like? (To me they are the least unexplored knights in the show) What are your thoughts? What are their personality like? What do they do in their free time? What was their life before becoming a knight? How was their childhood and: if you were to rewrite them in canon how would you do it?
