I’d like to have a moment of silence for Sir Gawain. He fought bravely until the end, grievously wounded and all. He was accompanied in his final moments by his only relative, King Arthur, seeing as his brothers, mother and friends couldn’t make it. He was given his last rites, and then he passed away around noon. Sir Gawain will be very missed by many people. May he be received in the afterlife by all the maidens he assisted during his career as a knight.

Gauvin,

Un autre chevalier de la table ronde.

Enfin, j'ai dessiné Arthur en premier donc, celui-ci serait plutôt le premier chevalier de la table ronde que je dessine...Arthur étant le Roi...il ne compte pas, non? 🤔

Reading le morte d'arthur and the sword in the stone scene is so funny. Arthur pulls the sword out and the nobles are like no! we don't accept you. lets wait until easter. Then easter comes and he does it again like "see?" and they're like no. we don't fw your broke commoner ass lol. let's wait until another holiday and then arthur does it again and they're like. maybe pentecost

this year in honor of mordreds birthday i forgot to say anything about it until the day after, which i think is also how his friends and family mark the occasion

MONTH! OF MAY!!!!

the questing beast by far my fave Arthurian trope. what if trauma was some sort of terrifying, hybrid beast. Incredible

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

i was going to make a joke about how it’s funny that all the arthurian knights are kind of all like living with their own respective genres like gawain is living in a black comedy while lancelot is in a horror movie (he thinks he’s in a romantic drama). but like lowkey this is a quasi legitimate reading of the text??? considering how like le morte in particular draws a lot from vulgate which in turn draws from like chretien de troyes and tristan romances and stanzaic morte etc and so many different sources. so it literally is like the knights a little bit are all in their own universes and mismatched amalgamations of their previous iterations stuck together into one narrative? insane

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

incredibly niche medieval tumblr blogger problem is that “chretien de troyes” as a tag tag sorts differently than “chrétien de troyes” with the é so depending on how french i was feeling the day i posted i may never be able to locate the post i want again

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

do not get me started on trying to find my posts about iseult/isolde/ysolt/yseult who even knows how i spelled it

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

and le morte d’arthur vs. le morte d'arthur which also sort separately. don’t see the difference?

King Arthur had prophetic dreams about everything BUT the affair. OR! He was having dreams about Guinevere fucking Lancelot’s brains out the whole time but he kept assuming they were just wet dreams and not prophetic in the slightest.

King Arthur waking up from a vivid dream where Guinevere pegged Lancelot within an inch of his life: I need to get right with God.

Practice our prayers until some small hope crystallizes / Follow the shoreline till some better hope arises / Behold, the beast awakes! Stand trapped in his great shadow when the dawn breaks...

tbh say what you want about king arthur’s leadership competence but to be so honest with the kinds of people he recruited for the table (guy they found in the lake/nephew who loves to kill people/guy actively sleeping with said nephew’s mom) + seneschal who actively terrorizes his knights + vaguely evil wizard advisor it is frankly a miracle it lasted as long as as it did
