01 i only write with people over the age of 18. if you are under the age of 18, please do not interact.02 the platforms i write on are instagram and tumblr. i'm new to tumblr, so i'll have to figure it out first, but you can always message me in private.03 please match my writing! quality over quantity, but it's demotivating to be met with only short responses. of course, it varies between roleplays / vibes!04 my mordred is open for shipping, HOWEVER. i am iffy with shipping and will only ship if there is chemistry. other relationships, like friends or foes, are welcome!05 i have many headcanons, so my portrayal may not match canon completely. it may also not match your perception of my character. please respect this!06 do not godmod my character. your writing should not include anything that my character thinks, feels, or does.

Emrys, the greatest warlock that has ever roamed the Earth, will stand by his side until the end.” Mordred has witnessed the state of the world and how dangerous it is to live in it if you possess magic. His entire life, he has placed his hopes into these two characters from the prophecy. He believes Arthur and Emrys will save them all.Mordred lives his life as a timid and sensitive boy. He always follows what his elders tell him to do, he helps others the best he can. When he is in Camelot and his master is captured, Mordred believes that Emrys will help him, for he is the sorcerer from the prophecy. He finds only kindness in Camelot and is hopeful for the future.The world is cruel, but Mordred keeps believing in love and compassion. One day, he will be able to live without hiding his true self. So for now, he will do his best to survive.

canonverse “the prophecies speak of an alliance of mordred and morgana. united in evil.”
following the canon storyline, mordred betrayed merlin and arthur and went to morgana. he has never truly felt disconnected from her; he simply did not agree with her ways. but mordred felt betrayed by arthur and merlin, and returned to the person he trusted most.sir mordred "arise, sir mordred, knight of camelot."
where he never betrayed arthur. being the youngest knight, mordred is seen as a little brother by the other knights, and they like teasing and caring for him. when the knights go out for drinks, mordred is the only one with apple juice. he also has to carry everyone out of the tavern.good morgana "you saved my life once, many years ago."
where morgana never turned evil. after becoming a knight of camelot, mordred naturally latches onto morgana, as she's the one who took care of her all those years ago. if morgana was arguing with anybody, mordred always took her side. he swore to protect camelot for her sake.independent "he's a likeable boy."
portrayal independent of the merlin universe.
