do you think there was an argument about who would get to collect gawain's body from the green chapel, or did they just, like. assume. the big green guy would bring his headless corpse back.
#was he supposed to be buried AT the chapel?? was that the idea? I mean someone still has to go get gringolet (OBVIOUSLY you can't leave him)#so there would still have been a 'who's doing that' question in the air#sir gawain and the green knight#arthuriana#all this to say imagine being young agravain and having your first quest be retrieving your beloved brother's body. would that be fucked up#or what#(<- is deeply compelled by this idea)#the timeline is murky (if you're going by vulgate) what with gawain being young and lancelot already present but I imagine that at least#agravain would be around. maybe as a squire or something (hence the whole first quest part). realistically i think arthur would say no#and send someone like yvain instead but. would that stop you? it's your brother whom you likely followed to the court. your brother whom#you're here for. your brother you both equally admire and despise. your brother.#I think he'd go anyway.#damselposting
