Went on a deep dive about Kay and now I'm reading some PhD student from 1971's dissertation.

if you ask me, the guy who put the sword INTO the stone should be king, not the chucklefuck who got it out.

[acekoral]

I assume the guy who put the "sword that makes you the king" into the stone, doesn't really want the position

[monkeychewtoy]

i think the stone should be king since it held the sword the longest

Speculation that Kay was in love with Guinevere is so compelling because damn that man only behaved mindfully once in his life and then Guinevere and LANCELOT went off and did adultery. How did he not develop a complex. Is this why he wasn't at camlann

[sanddef]

I know none of us are ready or honestly willing to write honorably pining Kay but I am very surprised nobody has yet?

[sanddef]

I have honestly been characterizing Kay as a gay man this whole time guys I'm not going to lie. But this is interesting enough to make me reconsider my stance.

[queer-ragnelle]

Oh people have absolutely characterized Kay as in love with Guinevere but holding his peace. Phyllis Ann Karr does in Idylls of the Queen and related works. I can’t recommend them enough!

[queer-ragnelle]

Wait I’m not done actually. This is my official endorsement for bisexual Kay. He’s bi in Lavinia Collins’s Guinevere and has a threesome with her and Lancelot. So. You don’t have to reconsider queer Kay to include Guinevere! We can have it all!

[sanddef]

A threesome with Lancelot and Guinevere is crazy I love that
