iconic moment when percival who’s never left his house in his life and doesn’t know how anything works comes to arthur’s court all excited about being a knight and he’s like oh please could i please have the armor of that horrifying knight i just passed? please please might i have it if it wouldn’t be a bother so i can become a knight? and kay wanting him to get beat up is like lmao yeah it’s all yours! go on and take it from him! and percival is like yay thanks!! and goes outside and kills him.

Au where Arthur, Gwen and the knights think that Merlin doesn't know how babies are made because he mentioned drunkly that his daughter was born out of an egg.

Guinevere : he can't be that innocent! He grew up a peasant!

Arthur : exactly ! He must think people are chicken, Guinevere!

Gwaine: so what he thought because he jumped on someone back they became pregnant? I don't buy it.

Leon: maybe he adopted a bird?

Perceval : but I never saw him with one

Leon : true...

Elyan : but can someone be born out of an egg?

Arthur:

Guinevere:

Leon:

Gwaine:

Perceval:

Everyone : nah he is getting scammed 100%

Elyan: hey!

(Lancelot, trying to fade in the background: You deal with this Merlin.)

((Late at night, Arthur having a crisis about all those time he put his arm around Merlin shoulder and how what he must have assumed : I chicken-style-agressed my manservant?????))

I have been reading more arthurian stories but the thing i’m most obsessed with is Perceval by Chrétien de Troyes.

Perceval is like…. what if you had a medieval knight but he was a stupid teenager with ADHD who is also a mary sue that can kill everyone in a single hit and is the best at being a knight with zero training. He gets scared of the sounds of metal armor and thinks its demons coming after him. He doesn’t know his own name until like 3,000 lines into the poem and even then he’s just guessing what his name is and somehow gets it right. He seems to love his mom and always talks about her but he also saw her faint one time and was just like ‘oh well, that’s probably fine. I’m leaving.’ ..???????

Ive only seen like 5 posts on tumblr about perceval i need everyone to read perceval i am begging you please please please please please please please please please plea-
