BTW, Gawain is called "Gawainet" when he was young.
Ywain/Yvain has his own diminutive version of his name when he was young: Yvonet.

reading the story of merlin
the backstory of Merlin’s mother and how he was conceived differs here and in Book I of Lancelot, and I prefer the less moralistic, funnier version in the latter, but I do like the idea of idea of a literal baby talking and essentially being his mother’s lawyer during her trial (and basically telling the judge “your mom’s a hoe”)
he was also born remarkably hairy for a child, so does it mean he’s supposed to look like your traditional picture of a demon but without hooves/horns/tail? Or what?
has Vortigern considered, well, building the tower in some other place?
“Then they dragged one dragon near the other, and they smelled each other’s backsides” like dogs on a walk
“I must, by the force of my nature, be away from people at times. [...] If you want to keep me as a friend, you must not be upset whenever I go away” Snufkin behaviour
Merlin built Stonehenge. Brought the stones from Ireland and put them there. I’ve heard this part before but every time it’s like. Okay
reading about Uther trying to court Ygraine and absolutely SEETHING. Get a job! Stay away from her! She has told you no!!!
interestingly, this version specifies that Morgan is a bastard. Further it is said that “Ygraine [...] had five daughters, three by her husband the duke and two by her first husband”, while earlier it is mentioned that she had three daughters. Anyway, my question about which Arthur’s sister is Lore’s mother seems to be pointless because the number of his sisters is inconsistent here
“and she learned so much so well that she mastered the arts. She became wonderfully skilled in an art called astrology, and she worked hard all the time and knew a great deal about the healing arts. For her mastery of knowledge, people called her Morgan the Fay” <333
Antor (Ector) is described as “one of the worthiest men in [Uther’s] kingdom”
I feel so, so bad for Ygraine, she doesn’t even know who had sex with her (probably thinks it was the devil or something, because her real husband died that very night), and now her newborn baby is given to some random old man that refers to him as “the thing you are bringing me”, and then she “began to weep because she was filled with great sorrow” 😭😭😭 no one ever tells her anything! God!!!
“You know that Ygraine your wife is dead” what?! She doesn’t even get to meet her son in this one?? Oh for fuck’s sake!
Arthur bursting into tears when he finds out he’s adopted gets me every time
for reference: Kay here is “barely half a year” older than Arthur
“She is very beautiful and young, and she is one of the cleverest women in the world” - Merlin about Guinevere
“Yvain the Great, whose heart will be filled with every kindness” I love you normal guy <3
gonna turn inside out the classist notion that Kay got his rude manners from being nursed by a commoner woman and conclude that this is how he got the skills necessary to run the castle household as a seneschal
I’ve heard about Arthur and Guinevere having a son called Loholt in some romances, but here he is the son of Arthur and a lady called Lisanor. That reminds me how in Le Morte Arthur also had a son with some lady, and both of these sons are mentioned to become knights of the Round Table... and there’s never any drama around them. I wonder if they knew who their real father was
apparently, the Duke of Clarence also is Arthur’s nephew. Literally who ISN’T Arthur’s nephew
I confess I am still very confused about how Gawain’s solar powers work, it seems to me different stories have slightly different interpretations of when he is at his strongest
“That day Gawainet killed more of them than all the others, and he and his horse were all covered with blood. He wielded an axe, and right away, any man he went after could do nothing to avoid being split open down to his bowels [...] But above them all, it was awesome to see the death and destruction that Gawainet meted out” - I say that is my baby and I’m really proud
“When King Arthur saw the maiden, who was of such great beauty, kneeling before him, he was very eager to look at her, first of all because her breasts were firm and hard like little apples” I read this with my own two eyes and now you also have to
chapter titles that sound like superhero comics:
Tumblr media
“And he said to himself that he would be most unwise to fall asleep in sin and lose his mind and his knowledge just to know the delights of a young lady” - she is TWELVE years old.........
“Sir Pearmuzzle led the ninth; he was a good knight, but his nose was no bigger than a cat’s” - the authors’ attempts to make up a guy are really starting to get out of control
on how to distinguish the two Guineveres: “King Arthur’s betrothed was a little taller and darker than the other Guenevere; she was better-spoken, for of all die ladies in the world, she was the best trained in eloquence and speech, and her hair grew much thicker, but in every other way they were so much alike that people could hardly tell one from the other, unless it was a lucky guess”
I’ve completely lost track of how old everyone is at this point. During the war with King Rion Arthur is “still only twenty-eight years old”, but Mordred is only two years old, and Arthur was still a squire when he slept with Morgause, and he was a teenager when he was crowned
“And while they were staying in the city, Morgan and Merlin became friends; she was endowed with great learning, and she grew so close to him and came around him so much that she found out who he was. He taught her many wonders in astrology and necromancy, and she kept them all in her mind” !
“Yvain the Bastard and his four cousins who were all named Yvain” I laughed
weird as fuck to read about La Rochelle here after having recently read The Three Musketeers where it also plays a big part
I just met Grisandoles/Lovely (the lady who came to Julius Caesar’s court disguised as a squire, was knighted and made seneschal) but I am already obsessed with her 
more details on Morgan in the Vulgate: “she had a rounded build, not too thin and not too plump”; she’s “the best worker with her hands that anyone knew about in any land” and a very good singer; there’s a bit when she spins golden thread to make a headpiece for Morgause
Mordred is referred to as the “uncrowned lion” in the prophecy
Gawain just got turned into a dwarf. This is a thing that happens
Nimue imprisoning Merlin in this version because she wants to keep him for herself forever: boring. Nimue imprisoning Merlin in Lancelot because she’s sick of his advances: awesome, a girlboss move

The Whumps of March 2024: "Twins"
A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.
Morgan had never loved Urien. Years later, she would muse that she never had a chance to. Uther had arranged their marriage. It didn't matter how good of a husband or a man Urien was; Morgan was doomed to hate him. He was one more enemy to fight, one more target for her smoldering resentment.
The twins were her only consolation.
From the first moment that she held them in her arms, it was a shock how much she loved them. Yvain, already rambunctious as a toddler, always trying to prove that he could do what he shouldn't try. Morfydd, gangly and awkward and placid, but with a hint of steel underneath. Each so different, each so wonderful and infuriating and perfect in their own way.
And they were hers. She could see bits of herself in their looks, their personalities, and she could sense, ever so faintly, a bit of her own magical power running through their veins. Her children. It meant so much, when it seemed like nothing in her life was ever truly hers. Each was a balm in her life of loneliness.
And yet, there were bits of Urien in them too. Traits that she loved in isolation, but turned bitter when she remembered where they came from.
She might have made her move sooner, if not for the twins. She knew that Urien's death would hurt them. It made her hate the man more, but it stayed her hand for a while.
And then, when she finally decided to act...as she stood over Urien's sleeping form, prepared at last to end his miserable life, they burst in. Morfydd screamed, Yvain grabbed her hand, and, and, and—
She fled. Soon everyone knew that Queen Morgan had tried to kill her husband, and it wasn't long until they discovered that she was behind Accolon's rebellion and the theft of Excalibur, too.
It was freeing, really. After all these years, she no longer had to play nice with Urien or Arthur or any of them.
But her twins, left behind at Garlot...the look of horror on Morfydd's face, and Yvain's rage...
They were her children. So how could they have chosen her enemies over her?

hc sorti de nulle part mais imaginez l'enfant dans kv1 qui arrive en retard à la réunion de la nouvelle table ronde c'est en fait le fils d'yvain qui prend son relais parce qu'il pas pu se libérer ? ou parce qu'il s'est fait capturer ? (ou parce qu'il est mort ?)
genre le dédain avec lequel le p'tit parle quand il dit qu'il a été poursuivi par des méchants, l'air saoulé, le décalage du chevalier plus jeune par rapport aux autres, le côté nonchalant...en plus c'est un gosse astier qui le joue...je sais pas hein...mais...imaginez...

[ID: A color illustration from a medieval manuscript, showing a knight on a brown horse using his sword to slice in half a dragon that is biting the tail of a lion. The knight has chainmail and a red shield with a rampart lion, the dragon has two visible legs and a skinny tail, with brown-red skin. The lion is drawn relatively realistically, except that its fur is blue rather than tan. There are stylized green-grey trees behind them and gold for the background. The illustration is bordered by blue lines meeting gold square corners, with the horse's back legs outside the square, the hooves standing on a small drawn ledge, to show how quickly the knight entered the scene. End ID.]
(I assume the lion is blue because of colors fading or something)
