#it gets annoying when you’ve had the same teacher your entire high school career in a tiny class in a tiny school #and he consistently spells your name wrong #for five fucking years #it was not always the same misspelling either #like everyone ik misspells it #like it gets a little. degrading. when absolutely no one bothers to learn how to spell it right #it’s not hard. it’s five letters. and two of them are the same. #there’s a painting on my parents wall that someone did for them #it’s got all of us. it has everyone’s name. and mine is spelled wrong #i can’t stand looking at it

actually obsessed with griflet as a concept. like him begging arthur (newly crowned arthur who is the same age as him, both like…I don’t know literally 17 probably???) to make him a knight so he can prove his honor by fighting this guy who kills people daily and hangs their shields up to brag about it. and of course arthur is like this is stupid. but griflet is like pleeeease I just want to show you what I can do! please sir just let me have the chance to prove myself! put me in coach I won’t let you down! I promise :) so arthur says ok and griflet goes and is IMMEDIATELY speared in the side. has to be sent back to the castle for an unspecified amount of time to recover. the only other thing we ever hear about him is that he is always getting captured. truly and genuinely pathetic. i am obsessed with him

#he’s an icon if we’re honest #he’s literally me as a knight #if reincarnation is real then at one point i was definitely him

have you ever been possessed by a demon that is a single wildly goofy kinda thought and then spent over four hours committing to drawing said thought into a half baked reality.

#as stated going mad in the woods and returning anew is a trans metaphor #hence yvain is trans #either direction works #however it’s SO easy to shuffle (one spelling of) his name in the opposite direction #so #that + i hate drawing men i have drawn nothing but men for so long #i can’t draw lions but it felt immoral to exclude the lion #anyway #arthuriana #arthurian legend #sir yvain #sir yvain and the lion #i think she still uses sir #i think gender is flimsy enough to allow that #yeah #anyway this was a desperate plea for attention hi

fighting for my life to locate a pdf of the prose lancelot bc i so desperately need to confirm this quote i found that, to paraphrase (dramatically), describes lancelot as having giant tits.

#to be specific #‘his chest was such that one so broad and full and well developed could not be found in any other body’ #there is more but i’m not going to try to fit that in my tags thx #reddit tells me a digital copy does not exist #which is. heartbreaking #bc my local library hates all my academic journies and has NOTHING #and my nearest bookstore charges on average 3693463936 dollars for a single shitty paperback #w love to the bookstore but also. not with love to the bookstore DROP YOUR PRICES #arthuriana #arthurian legend #hello crying out does anyone have a copy and the ability to show me this quote

sometimes being a historian (unqualified) is about reading an entire french story in google translate bc you cannot locate a single english translation

#i was promised toxic yuri #and i got it yeah #y’all crazy #i do hate the french in a very deep and personal way #but #y’know #they have a lot of queercoded texts

going mad and running around the woods like a wild man and then emerging later cured by one thing or another is, in fact, a trans metaphor. following this logic, lancelot is trans and none will change my mind

#arthuriana #arthurian legend #hey arthuriana guys pls let me in #i’m mainly here bc i was studying welsh mythology n went on a side quest #but i promise i’m funny #sometimes #lancelot #lancelot is trans to ME #so are tristan and yvain #possibly more #this is a weirdly common theme #i would fully believe everyone has done it at some point #you can lie to me i’ll take you at your word

the arthuriana gays when i take yvain’s name and add an e to the end so i can trans that mfs gender

#i think having a pet lion is a transfem thing to do yeah #i don’t think men can own lions? legally? #at least they shouldn’t be allowed to #that’s not for you #men are not allowed lions #i’m like drunk so

kay has a horse (whose name translates to long lasting wine on google translate??)

(welsh triad of horses)

#all else aside #i find it greatly entertaining that the tradition of feigning more concern for the horse has a well recorded history #one time my horse dropped me into a water jump and i nearly drowned #and the first thing everyone asked me was ‘is the horse okay’ #he’s fine btw he walked back to my trailer n started eating before anyone could catch him #kei is me on many levels #is the point of this #i too am a boorish asshole who everyone delights in seeing fall

my overdue assignments watching me pour all my energy into reading the mabinogion trying to track the origin of a character who is mentioned by name exactly once throughout every single piece of arthurian text

#drych ail kibddar is a figure haunting me #i think the oxford translation fucked the translation tho #bc ail does not translate to ‘fab’ where did they get that #help
