@oldtvandcomics on an AO3 thread: “I think the best way someone put it in a post was "What do you mean Arthuriana is one of the big founding texts of our current society, enjoyed by uncountable people over time? It is just ten gay people on Tumblr!" Yeah, that is EXACTLY my experience.”

Me, thinking to myself: That’s delightful, sounds like humorous hyperbole for effect.

Me, searching for Arthurian blogs to follow on Tumblr: ….IT ISN’T HYPERBOLE.

I think I have followed all 10 Arthurian blogs on Tumblr, they’re all queer and it’s great, please @ me if you’re an Arthurian Tumblr, because I am hyperfocusing on Arthuriana hardcore at the moment and would like to immerse myself in more of it.

(I tried to find the original post that @oldtvandcomics was referencing and my Google fu is failing me, not that Tumblr cooperates with Google searches in the best of times. So a quote from an AO3 comment it is. Hopefully that’s okay!)

@brightclothesforwinter

@the-merry-otter (more medieval/SCA but some arthuriana)

@missing-rache

hey look @oldtvandcomics I found more than ten! The fandom is *twenty* gay people on Tumblr*.

...I think this is the smallest fandom I have ever been part of, and I was involved in a niche fandom back in the early 2000's on a much tinier Internet, so that's saying something.

(also I really hope I am not violating any kind of Tumblr cultural etiquette by tagging people, or by stalking through tags and reblogs to find every arthuriana blog I could and following them, etc. I was only vaguely active on Tumblr from 2011-2014 before now, I don't know the cultural norms here very well yet, it's a terribly anxious feeling)

*no, I don't actually know that they're all queer, just a lot of them seem to be

[id: a series of small digital drawings. the first shows the back of someone’s head with headphones on; the speech bubble beside it reads “Lamorak.”. the second shows the same person slightly more turned around and somebody moving to tap them on the shoulder; the speech bubble reads “Lamorak, what are you listening t—”, and the third drawing shows lamorak facing the viewer, eyes closed and looking content holding an lp of fountain of wayne’s Stacy’s Mom and a bubble originating from it reading “# Stacy’s mom has got it going on, she’s all that I want a” /end id.]

♫ i know it might be wrong but i’m in love w gawain’s mom ♫

[moriaen]

[id: a messy digital comic with a limited colour palette of blue, yellow, and orange, against a cream-coloured background. the first panel is in blue, showing two knights pulling up on horses. one of them asks "pardon us, but have any of you seen sir gawain pass by here, perchance?". the second panel is in yellow and shows a village on fire with dead people strewn around; it is captioned "[ fiery remains of some poor dutch village ]". the third and fourth panels are similar, showing a faceless man resting against a wall and clutching at his side, where he has been impaled with a sword. he points off to the side. the last panel shows the knights again as one of them says "...thanks". /end id.]

The Virgin and Child with Angels by Jean Fouquet circa 1452-1455

[magnuspng]

The King himself took Bisclavret inside, and closed all the doors tight; he returned when the time was done. He brought along two barons, not one. They entered the chamber, all three. On the king's royal bed, they see lying fast asleep, the knight. The king ran to hug him tight; He kissed him a hundred times that day. When he catches his breath, he hands him back all his fiefs and lands, and more presents than I will say.

— “Bisclavret,” Marie de France

[renthony]

"Sir" not in a masculine way but in a "heavily armored knight with an ambiguous gender and a very large sword" sort of way.
