@robotcatgirls how dare you try and just leave this in the tags lolol

The English: This is our legendary King Arthur. His bravest knight is named Gawain who cut off a green giants head

The French: That’s cool, but what if his coolest knight was FRENCH and practiced INFIDELITY with the QUEEN

The English: That’s not…

The French: His name is Lancelot.

The English: Okay actually that name frickin rules. Proceed.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The English: Uh France what are you doing to our oc?

The French: Making the downfall of his kingdom come at the hands of Lancelot.

The English: The… French one?

The French: Yeah.

The English: Aight then.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Historians: Hey! Are you two making things up again?

The French and English: *quickly throw their Lancelot/Guinevere fanfics into a bush* No! Real historical figures! What are you talking about???

The idea of King Arthur being the equivalent to our modern day shows/anime is both a little insulting but also hilarious.

[what-even-is-thiss]

It is though. It’s the medieval equivalent of the MCU or Naruto.

[cannibalcaprine-deactivated2024]

The stories of the Knight of the Round Table or Charlemagne’s Paladins were 100% just the medieval Justice League or Avengers.

[donateliamitsuki]

I was today’s years old when I learned Lancelot and King Arthur ain’t real????

[what-even-is-thiss]

lol no Arthur might have existed but if he did he was a native Briton warlord fighting the Anglo-Saxons that got so mythologized that within everything written about him whatever was originally true in the oral legends about him was lost and overly mythologized by the time a version of his story was first written down in the 500s. The time Arthur supposedly existed was probably around the 200s to 400s because some of his legends involve him or members of his court fighting the remains of the western Roman empire. Lancelot is just an invention by a French poet lol. Chretien de Troyes specifically. Also he was supposedly a lost French nobleman raised by a fairy that lives in a lake so yeah if you dig into the original written legends for more than like ten lines using modern logic you can figure out that they’re not based on real people. Most people don’t read the original source material though so I don’t blame you for not knowing. I think the original poems and compilations are fascinating but I also have a special interest in old literature and studied it in college and know that most people like to read stuff written after 1890 when literature actually Became Good.

[jenniferrpovey]

Arthuriana has always been reenvisioned. It’s all fanfic. Write your own!

[aqueerkettleofish]

The most historically accurate version of the Arthurian Legends was done by Monty Python. Not a punchline.

[definite-human]

@prokopetz on this issue:

[cloverandcrossbones]

Also there’s strong evidence that Arthur was originally Welsh. Arthurian legends are like a multi-country collab project over the course of centuries

Somewhere out there is a person with your name, except it’s spelled with a “y” and they just can’t figure out why you don’t spell your name right.

[text ID: You’ll be driving along depressed when suddenly a cloud will move and the sun will muscle through and ignite the hills. It may not last. Probably won’t last. But for a moment the whole world comes to. Wakes up. Proves it lives. It lives—red, yellow, orange, brown, russet, ocher, vermillion, gold. Flame and rust. Flane and rust, the permutations of burning. You’re on fire. Your eyes are on fire. It won’t last, you don’t want it to last. You can’t stand any more. But you don’t want it to stop. It’s what you’ve come for. It’s what you’ll come back for. It won’t stay with you, but you’ll remember that it felt like nothing else you felt or something you’ve felt that also didn’t last. end ID]

Good morning to everyone who is going to troll an oil company today 😇

[madeleinejubileesaito]

The goal of bullying Big Oil companies over their climate tweets isn’t just to educate people about corporate hypocrisy. It’s to unite activists around the goal of taking away their social license to operate.

Oil majors have admitted to investors that their business would be in deep trouble without broad public support. They’ve also admitted the biggest threat to maintaining social license is public anger over climate change.

Oil companies could remedy this threat by winding down their fossil fuel operations, and investing heavily in renewable energy. But for the most part, they’ve chosen to combat public anger over climate change by investing in strategic communication.This consistent choice of empty climate words over meaningful climate action is why several Shell executives quit the company this week—and it’s why Heglar says social media call-outs are increasingly powerful.
