uh i understand your knight kink post is engaging with the literary construct of the knight rather than the historical actually existing social role but you really failed to engage with the themes and tropes of late medieval grail literature

I think about "seinfeld is a better arthurian adaptation than bbc's merlin bc it has a woman named elaine" every single day of my life. @ whoever commented that can we kiss.

JERRY: I dont know about this green knight fella. I mean, almost chopping a knight's head off? what kind of sick man does that.

ELAINE: it was part of a GAME, Jerry! Sir Gawain willingly stepped up to it. 100% fair play.

GEORGE: yeah, and Gawain didn't even have to chop off the guy's head. He could've cut off his pinky or something.

ELAINE: oh, like you wouldn't have cut his head off.

GEORGE: *chuckles* Beheaded. Oh, I can only wish to get beheaded. The Lord would never grant me a death so honorable.

JERRY: yeah, you're more of a 'run over by an oxen cart' kind of guy

*ELAINE and GEORGE nod in agreement*

*KRAMER bursts in, wearing a full suit of armor*

KRAMER: I'm gonna do it. I'm going to find the holy grail.

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