today i made a joke about ygraine and nimueh sacrifieing uther, ruling camelot and raising arthur together and here's a thread about why it would be awesome https://twitter.com/justmerlinqts/status/1254012097060581377
merlin would have the childhood he always dreamed of. he would have a proper relationship with his father, balinor wouldn't spend his whole life miserable and hunith wouldn't be alone.
arthur wouldn't be insecure. he wouldn't think he was a disapointment and he wouldn't be scared of failure to the point where he was willing to die for not to look like a coward in uther's eyes. he wouldn't be afraid of showing affection without feeling less of a man.
gwen and elyan would still have a father. he died just because uther wanted to, and uther didn't even feel guilty about it that much. tom was a good man and he didn't deserve to die like this.
if morgana is older than arthur, she would still get to spend her life with her dad gorlois and her sister. she wouldn't be so scared of herself, she wouldn't be lonely to the point she lost all the love inside her. she was a good person once and she was ruined because of uther.
the great purge that killed so many man, woman and children in horrible ways wouldn't happen and the druids wouldn't live in fear.
mordred probably wouldn't have a reason to kill arthur if magic wasn't forbidden.
last and the most important, lesbian or bi women are always cool
honorable mention: we wouldn't have writers who think a man can kill so many innocent people, abuse his children and still be morally grey
