Propaganda:

Les Prophesies de Merlin:

- “morgan/sebile toxic yuri CANON”

- I am 100 percent serious there is lesbian bdsm in this medieval text

The Byelorussian Tristan/Povest o Trischane:

- “this excerpt: "palamidezh said to tristan, "knight, for all the service that i rendered you, and i plan to serve you yet, give me one thing which i will ask of you." tristan said, "whatever you ask, i wll give you, except izhota." palamidezh said, "be my greatest enemy, as you were before." tristan said, "let us leave this, knight; you have done me a great honor, and i also want to think of your honor." palamidezh said, "i do not want anything else but this."" HELLO??? "and i plan to serve you yet"??? "i do not want anything else but this"??? it's absolutely FILLED w moments like these. the holy text of tristanmydes nation. also palomydes (already bisexual (https://www.jstor.org/stable/27870489)) has two swords. two swords. he dual wields. y'know what dual wielding is a euphemism for? bisexuality .”

- guinevere and isolde are also like . very much giving friends with benefits in this one

[povestotrischane]

NO I WAS TOO LATE

[povestotrischane]

32+ people didn't all vote for a text only available through 2ndhand sources . none of you have actually read that shit that's so embarrassing

[povestotrischane]

and not only is it a text only available through 2ndhand sources but the gay shit rumor started in a wikipedia edit which was removed due to not having sources. if i told you it said gullible on the ceiling i bet you'd fucking look

GAYEST ARTHURIAN TEXT BRACKET

Nominate a gay arthurian text!

‘Gay’ broadly meaning queer here; feel free to nominate a text thats fun with gender, campy, erotic in an unusual way or just kind of a vib

I’ll keep this up for a couple days until we get a good crop of responses, then I’ll announce the round one matchups.

rules: only texts from the arthurian canon (ie medieval) though arthurian adjacent texts (like bisclavret) are elegible

[gringolet]

reblogging for those who missed it; there are a couple of big ones which havent been suggested yet so if ur thinking of one send it in, and if its a repeat then the propaganda will still be included

[gringolet]

go crazy on it!!!

[povestotrischane]

rip sir gawaine you would've loved wearing a virginity rocks shirt to family get-togethers

[povestotrischane]

be honest, if i Were to make an arthurian adaptation zine (as in adaptations made By contributors, not bbc merlin, fate/stay night etc) wyd?

i would be interested in being a contributor

i would be interested in buying the zine

i would be interested in reading the zine but would not pay money for it

i would not be interested

Voting ended onNov 23, 2024

[povestotrischane]

wish there was a zine for arthurian adaptations but unfortunately idk enough abt zines to run one so i can't take matters into my own hands probably

[povestotrischane]

maturing is going from isotristanmydes to iso²tristanmydes

[palamidezh]

how it started

(all from august-september 2021)

vs how it's going

(from earlier today/two days ago)

[palamidezh]

cringetober (but i'm using last year's list) day 6: neko (or other animal features)

me drawing gawaine as a foxboy predates the creation of this blog, this design for him, and the existence of both my arthurian adaptation AND the half-finished fanfic i decided to turn into a full adaptation . so basically i've come full circle

[palamidezh]

hi

[povestotrischane]

people only want me for the fanlore article i wrote in freshman bio class and promptly forgot about and not the mecha arthurian adaptation i've been chipping away at for over a year. sad. 😔

[michael-rusts]

Woke up to 99+ notifs, thought "oh, hey, people are loving my anatomy study of jonny d'ville from the mechanisms :)", opened notifs

Hi arthuriana fandom what are you doing in my house

Fav tags so far

I found half a culprit btw, they've crawled out of the pits of hell:

@povestotrischane what do you have to say for yourself regarding the bad grammar

[povestotrischane]

my excuse is that i had this horrible disease called being 14-15ish at the time and also was juggling writing it w a freshman biology zoom meeting, at least one tumblr tab open and also probably at least one youtube video playing in the background and thus was not paying close attention

[povestotrischane]

thinking about round table mecha but i can't think of anything i haven't already posted abt it off the top of my head (i haven't posted everything i just go head empty when my only jumping off point is 'post abt rtm' bc that's too broad) . anyways i realized how badly i shot myself in the foot w it as an au bc i could've picked some genre/setting that ppl who like to read medieval literature for fun actually know of but nooo i had to go for the weeb shit as if more than like two ppl max have watched eva and maybe 1 has heard of gwitch once or twice (note: this is not a declaration of gwitch's quality or worthwhileness, if you want to know my thoughts on gwitch you have to ask me abt gwitch, gwitch is an example merely bc it's popular at the moment). actually there's a decent chance ppl here might know code geass bc of the arthurian motifs but like that's still probs the aforementioned 2 max that have watched eva.

[michael-rusts]

I keep seeing medival arthurian literature pop up on my dash, and I did a little digging because I'm a huge literature, arts and language nerd

I dont know you, and you dont know me, but I really love you guys, wherever you may be

Good for you good for you

I admire the dedication

[gringolet]

love this is feels like scientists are observing me. “subject 83 posting about agravaine again, mark it on the graph”

[povestotrischane]

give it a few weeks and i'll have deleted those two posts to make it seem like rt⚔️ms was a spur of the moment joke i got too attached to and not the natural workings of my sick and twisted mind. but you'll know babes. you'll know.
