I'm noticing in scholarship that no one agrees on who the man Lancelot loves the most is, this man was just pulling everyone apparently

#It's kinda funny honestly #Like one person will talk about him and Gawain or him and Arthur #I've seen someone talk about him and Mordred too?? #And the yesterday I found someone talking about him and Gareth??? #Like sir please #What are you doing #arthuriana

[beheadinggame]

polyamory and bisexuality could have saved camelot

#Big fan of the Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot trio #Also Gawain being caught in so many bisexual situations #It's what he does

A year and a day.

#sir gawain #sir gawain and the green knight #arthuriana #sggk #merry christmas everyone #pray for my boy today

Actually now that I think about it, looking at this from the perspective of the traditional Irish myths of the loathly lady turned sovereignty goddess...since Gawain is the one actually bestowing the sovereignty onto Ragnell does that mean he is the goddess???? Incredible

#Gawain gender theories #Please ignore me I'm insane #This is only a half formulated thought and I KNOW that this is not how the tradition is meant to be read but what if I do anyway #Like technically Ragnell is still the one bestowing rightful ownership of the land onto Gawain but consider #This

*rises from my fucking tomb*

So like if Sir Gromer Somers Joure's name means "Man of the Summer's Day" and he represents the Summer Solstice, and is trying to get his land back from Gawain (via Arthur), only to be thwarted by Ragnell's sovereignty, could we say that this is an analogue to the Summer/Winter king battle for dominance meant to take place at each solstice?

Alternatively, since Gawain experiences both summer and winter beheading games with Lord Bertilak and Sir Gromer is he perhaps the land being fought over? Much to consider

#please ignore my insane ramblings #I am so deeply unserious after the semester I experienced lmao #Yes I am rereading Ragnell #I just think it's funny to think about #Also once again we got Gawain “laying like a coward” #At this point we just have to accept that he's a bottom idk what to tell you

Becoming truly insane about medieval optics and how it affected the perception of love. You're telling me the arrows of love were literal? Absolutely gobsmacked

#Yes I'm still alive #Yes I'm still insane #Will I expand on this point more later? It's likely

[beheadinggame]

happy may 10th everyone

#Gawain #Lancelot #they're so silly <3

Finally taking up the medieval tradition of embroidering curses into pretty patterns

#my needlework game is so weak I keep stabbing myself #the loathly lady fiber crafts group would be so disappointed in me

[beheadinggame]

the lady: oh he must be cheating on me. i KNOW it. i KNOW. where else does he go for three nights every week?

the knight in question running around the forest because he’s a werewolf: awoo

#❤️❤️❤️ #Bisket posting

[beheadinggame]

#how I'm trying to be

Arthur's best and loyal knight.

#arthuriana #lancelot #arthur #arthur and lancelot #as promised #here's your food #lancelot has always had pretty long hair to me and i cannot explain why

[beheadinggame]

#Don't even get me started on what the towns look like

[beheadinggame]

Actually delighted that Arthur won even though I would have been happy with all of these

#They make me bonkers dude #Gawain put up a good fight but you'll see him with Lancelot soon

[beheadinggame]

#arthuriana #Lancelot #this is very important

[beheadinggame]

Books are soooo yonic it's pretty cool I think

#So yonic and in the most nonbinary way #Especially manuscripts #Don't even get me started on the book genders

[beheadinggame]

And If? If I were to re-write SGGK as a graphic novel that does not add too much more to the story (beyond perhaps some dialog where it only says “they talk about x”) than to visualize exactly what is written in the text including the positions the characters are in when such things occur? Then what?

#this is still a pipe dream but y'know #I have never been entirely satisfied with anyone's comic versions of SGGK
