Queen Morgana

MORGANA FEST: Prompt 6.

↳ Betrayed and Alone.

“I don’t want to be alone anymore.”

My visions have always been plagued by death: I saw Camelot burning, my family bleeding, the old world crumbling—so many times—I tried to warn them, begged for help, strived to prevent the evil. They laughed at me, thought I was mad, said it was nothing. All right then. What my Sight had never showed me was who did it. Now I'm happily setting everything on fire, fulfilling my own prophecy. "It's you." I say to myself, "You are the omen and the plague".

sometimes they're subtle about it. and sometimes they yell "HE IS THE SUN" right in your face with all they have and that's okay too.

Morgana in red

Early Morgana was whimsigothic(lilac and green, sheer fabrics, tiny jewelry, layers); later she indulged herself in romantic gothic(dramatic black, lace, corsets, magic pendants) 🔮💀

I like that her hem is tattered and dirty, that her cloaks are patched all over and threadbare, that her dusty boots are worn. This bears the mark of the miles of the forests she walked through, the dark caverns and heaths, the poverty of the hovels and forgotten ruins. She is still the queen in exile.
