QRV - Story of Merlin 4.1

preface | intro pt 1 | intro pt 2 | HHG merlin pt 1 | merlin pt 2 | merlin pt 3.1 | merlin pt 3.2

Ulfin the pickup artist / dudebro podcaster over here 😒 advising King Uther Pendragon on his "love" (lust) for Duchess Ygraine (who is visibly distressed by Uther's advances, btw. Enough so that the rest of the court notices she's upset):

So Uther asks Ulfin what he should do, and Ulfin says, "You groom her husband Duke Gorlois of Tintagel and the rest of the court by showing Gorlois so much favor, being his best friend, gifts, spending tons of time with him. Meanwhile I'll court Ygraine on your behalf and send her lots of gifts and compliments."

Which Ygraine refuses, because she's aware that Uther's stalking her, and she's not into it.

When Ulfin finally admits he's doing this on behalf of the king, she crosses herself and says, "God! what a traitor the king is to make a show of loving my husband and me, yet he means to shame him! Ulfin,” she went on, “take care not to let it happen that you should ever say such words to me! For I want you to know that I would tell my husband, and if he knew it, you would have to die!"

Ulfin: ::slides into Ygraine's DMs on behalf of Uther:: hey my king thinks ur hot

Ygraine: wtf no, he's been acting like a friend to my husband and me just to try to get me to cheat on my husband? Don't say anything like this to me ever again. I'll tell my husband next time and he'll kill you.

Ulfin: gladly :D

Ulfin: oh c'mon, what about a pity date, he's dying bc he wants u so bad, ur such a (expletive)

Ulfin: haha funny joke

Ulfin: fr tho, date the king

Ulfin: or else

(later)

Uther: omg of course! She's just saying that for appearances, I just have to be ✨ persistent ✨ and then she'll be into me

...

...y'all, some things haven't changed in 800+ years.

(and at the same time, the narrative of the Vulgate is explicitly calling out this behavior as Not Okay. Uther and Ulfin are being drawn as In the Wrong here. by french medieval monks or whatever in the 1230's. soooo .... recognizing that this behavior is Not Okay is also not a new thing!)

being into medlit will REALLY have me saying things like oh, this copy is not even from 200 years ago or so; it's not that old. when most people i talk to have not held a book older than 50 years.

Can’t believe the battle of Camlann happened because this guy told Medrawd that Arthur told him to go fuck himself and Medrawd took it badly

[dyke-terra]

Went to tell my much cousin that I wanted to go to Orkney because it was the home of Mordred, Gawain, and Agravaine and… one other brother? but she probably wasn’t familiar with Agravaine and then realized, wait, does she even know Mordred and Gawain?
