My brother (in med school): today we learned that humans lack the capacity to regenerate neurons. Why are you wasting yours on finding gay subtext in arthurian legend?

Little announcement for Arthuriana people :D
My friend and I have made a discord server!
If you've ever wanted to yell about knights but not want to make a whole post about it, or wanted some of your Hot Takes peer reviewed, this would be a good place for you ☺️☺️
Whether you're an expert and have read every text in existence (thank you for your service) or you like something tangently related and want to explore what this arthuriana thing is all about (bbc Merlin/hnoc fans I'm looking at you) you're welcome here :D
We have dedicated channels for Arthurian subtopics - this will to be expanded but so far there is a high noon over Camelot channel, and bbc Merlin and fate are to be added when we come up with good names (please give us name suggestions)
It's still under construction, but I'm hoping that we can play Kahoot or do some artsy activities like dtiys and art trades because that sounds fun
Current topic of discussion is Tennyson so if you have anything to say about him we would love to hear it

okay okay okay, thinking thoughts
So I find the concept of Names really interesting in Camlann, reading into the extracanonical stuff put on the tumblr is giving me food for theory crafting. The Catacylsm seems to be some kind of return of magic to the world (possibly heralded by the return of The King of the Britons in their hour of need?) and thus people with significant Names have access to something because of it. they fall into the stories of their namesakes; Perry, Gwaine, and Kay are Knights, Morgan is Morgana Le Fay, and we now have a Gwen in Shújūn.
Based on Kay's dicussion with Perry if more people can fill in the roles of their stories to more 'to plan' the stories will go, Of course this is not good news if you know the general end point of Arthurian legend (Betrayal, muderer, war, most everyone dead, the 'Glory' of camelot gone). It's inherently kind of a doomsday cult if you stay in those stories, you know where parts of this are going (i'll get back to this)
it also seems like there may be some, for lack of a better term, kin drama going on. There are 900 members of the court and Kay mentions that Peredur is a really uncommon name outside of Wales, meaning there are certain knights who are more common, i assume Lancelot's, Kay's, maybe a few Talisin's, a bunch of Gareth's, and like 50 Elaines like in the legends lol
We also dont have the context for how Names work full yet and neither do our characters. I think theres a lot of answers to be had with Shújūn/Gwen with how it works, how you know other than the buzzing in you're head and desire go through the motions and Follow the Story
Now, where does Dai fit in all this?
Dai doesn't have a Name, and I think theres going to be a point where he changes his name in a major way, but not to a Name, but a Bardic name. In welsh poetic and story telling tradtions Welsh poets, THE OG Bards, will take on pseudonyms tell their stories. This practice stems from the medievil era, but goes forth to today, and many modern Welsh and welsh heritage poets have connections to this tradition (Dylan Thomas' middle name was his great uncles bardic name, Sarah Williams published her work under the name Sadie), I believe it's also a requirement to have one if you intend to perform in the major Eisteddfod, (I am Australian so my experiance of Eisteddfods here is very different so if i'm wrong on that let me know)
Why would he do this? I think Dai is going to, at least try, to write him and his friends a way out.
Much ink is spilt over how Arthurian legend doesnt have an 'orginal text', and as such there are lots of stories that are inherently contradictory; Bedwyr is the best knight, but so are Gwaine, Lancelot, and Galahad. Mordred is some random king until his Arthur's son. Arthur has a sister, no he has two, actually he has three and one of them is an Elaine. This could be used to explain any doubles (are you my Gwaine), as well as why we see a few different spelling varients which are, the very welsh Peredur as opposed to Percival or Parzifal, the anglisised and more boarish Kay as opposed to Cei or Caius (this last one might just to keep Dai and Kay distinct tho). These variations are no more or less 'canon' than any other telling of the story, and so often the writer of a given telling of Arthurian legend is going to have their own bias. But things dont HAVE to end the way they always do, and sometime you need to have someone outside the story you're caught in to tell you a new one.
You are not locked into that ever looming cloud of Thomas Mallory and Le Morte d'Arthur.
Other evidence I have for this is that Dai sings at the begining of each episode, and sings in welsh at that. He also is, to a point our narrator, existing both in and out of the current narative. Also his name is an a lyric of Sosban Fach (a song i would be surprised if it wasn't in the show at some point) 'Dai bach y sowldiwr' which is also not from the text the song was based on. Tangential yes, but i think it's worth thinking about.
I think there is also something to be said about choice in what your name is and how it feeds into the overall theme of identiy, and how that plays into other themes at play in the story, like Transness, Imperialism, and Predestination
TL:DR; While he doesnt have a Name, Dai's gonna give himself an epic bard name and save them all by writing a killer hook to get them out of the story

I got reminded BBCs Merlin exists and that spiraled into remembering a bunch of other really, really shitty adaptations of Arthurian canon and now I'm mad so I'm going to list some true facts about it that should hopefully demonstrate why adding "gritty realism" to it pisses me off so much
-Morgan le Fay serves as a Rita Repulsa-esque figure who throws problems at Arthur. She is also a wholly separate person to Morgause, the mother of Mordred. Morgan le Fay is a badass sorceress who's only motivation for being a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain(tm) is that Guinevere snubbed her in some way.
-It's full of Welsh folklore, especially regarding faeries, and initially started as a recounting of a bit of Welsh military history before people started adding their OCs to it. It then broke containment and spread across europe, especially during the renaissance.
-Loads of the knights have superpowers. Straight up superpowers. Gawain gets stronger (and in some sources, bigger) the higher the sun is in the sky. Kay has some sort of fire shit going on... It's great. People would add their own guys to the round table and give them Cool Powers because they could. Though mostly it was just super-strength. This fell out of favor as it was Christianized because people are COWARDS.
-Lancelot is a French guy's OC, and despite the whole thing being full of those, Lancelot is the most OC of them all (affectionate). The second most OC of the bunch is a dude known for his edgy coat that he always wore that belonged to his dead dad (I am not joking)
-Half of the dudes are described as 'the fairest' or 'the most handsome'. Some have the caveat of 'second only to Arthur'. I legit read a description of how handsome a random knight was that filled a full page once. This is hilarious.
-There's a knight called Bedivere (he whose name has no set spelling) and he's my favorite. He has a prosthetic hand, is head butler, and is the only bitch to survive the big last battle in retellings that I respect. He's also one half of a comedy duo with Kay, also in retellings that I respect. I am admittedly biased because I played him in a middle school production of a really bad adaptation of a knockoff spamalot
-People just fucking murder each other on accident all of the time to show off how STRONK they are. After jousting got added they started having the horses die when lance met shield which DOESN'T MAKE SENSE but is there to, once again, show how STRONK the knights are.
-More on the note of casting, but there are dark skinned people in the canon. Specifically Moors (which is old europe for muslim north-african people with dark skin, a term not really used anymore because it wasn't actually one ethnic group but several). MORE SPECIFICALLY there is one explicitly biracial knight who's the son of one of the other knights and a (and I quote) "Moorish Princess". His name is Morien because people have never been subtle and was one of the knights for whom the tales waxed poetic about how stronk and handsome he was.
-Saved the best for last but this all gave way to the an early historical examples of larping and possibly kinning. King Edward the Third loved a knight named 'Sir Lionel' so much to the point where he'd hold big round table tourneys where everyone would larp as different characters from Arthurian legend (himself always being Lionel) and even named his son after him. The kicker? Lionel doesn't actually have that much in the way of story. He has like one story to himself and is functionally a sidekick in every other appearance I can find. King Eddy 3 had a Blorbo.
All of this to say that Arthurian canon is lovely and goofy and if I see someone make Morgan le Fay into Mordred's mom again I will spew fire and rain hot, bloody terror from the skies. I also think we should start adding OCs to it again and nobody can stop us.

Work is slow, so I did a ctr f for the word 'penis' in one of my fics, and I would like to present to you now My Very Serious Take On Arthurian Legend:
'He threw off the blankets very confidently, and stood up very confidently, as if it were not quite cold; and marching past Merlin, asleep on his pallet, the Once and Future King, Uniter of Albion, went out to have bequeathed unto him the mighty Excalibur wearing nothing but his penis.'
'An erect penis has something of a fine ear for comedy (so to speak); it is not that sad sea vegetable of which the flaccid penis is close kin, but a sort of merry absurdity which has been put on in afterthought and might as well do as it pleases.'
'But very soon there was the familiar, pale face, and the blonde hair all round it: and the feeling of wonder, and the expression of it, which comes from casting loose the bonds of the limiting penis.'
'“I’ll have to go a whole night with a penis?” she asked pleadingly.'
'By morning she had invoked 357 euphemisms for the penis, and was utterly pleased with herself.'

Crossover canons? Ah, anon. Sweet, humble, unknowing anon, having a crossover canon is why I got bullied and harassed out of the Disord server I first joined when I realized I was fictionkin and why I haven't ever tried to connect to the community again.
To summarize: my father was Nero Wolfe so we're already in crossover territory since he himself is in many canons Sherlock Holmes' bastard son. My half-sister was Maria Carbonelli, which Marvel comics' readers may recall was Maria Stark's name prior to her getting married. I was Lee Travis aka The Crimson Avenger, which DC comics' readers may remember means I was from Marvel's rival company. Except it gets somewhat worse, as my memories include Justice League Unlimited's portrayal of me, meaning I at some point got flung forward in time, and also that the MCU and JLU ended up happening in the same universe for me. And just to put a cherry on top of this sundae of ridiculousness? I met the protagonist of Drowned God, which means that apparently their canon, which had canonical Arthurian legend characters in it, was also canon for my universe.
This is why I got accused of lying, being an anti-kin parody of otherkin, etc. You can't say your last life was a Nero Wolfe, Sherlock Holmes, MCU, DC comics, JLU and Drowned God crossover without sounding ridiculous. - Travis Lee aka The Crimson Avenger

I recently started meditating to past life videos/wolf videos. And… I think I’ve gone through my whole wolf past life line! Or lineage? Not sure what to call it!
I wouldn’t necessarily consider each past life it’s own separate kin type, rather they all fall under, in some way, wolfkin/caninekin, as either vaguetypes or clado-kintypes! And note I do mention a few past lives I do not consider ‘kin, but they still are related to my wolf past lives.
Lemme go in order chronologically! I’ll try and add the subtypes too :)
400 BC: Demaenetus the Wrestler (past life)
An Ancient Greek wrestler who was able to transform into a wolf
400s: Mythkin / Wolfkin
A very old legend that the Neuri (near modern Belarus) villagers would turn into wolfs a few days a year
400s/Arthurian Era: Melion (past life) , Werewolfkin / Wolfkin
Melion was a figure from King Arthur myth who was said to have transformed into a wolf to hunt a stag for his wife, but becomes stuck as his wife leaves him for someone else. He becomes one of King Arthur’s prized animals, and King Arthur finally realizes it’s one of his knights, as such he finds a way to transform Melion back to human.
1100s: Ossory Werewolfkin
Known as Irish Werewolves, ossory people were thought to be descended from Laignech Fáelad, who like the figure were able to transform into wolves.
1400s Werewolfkin
During the era of witchcraft trials across Europe, werewolf hunts also populated the land. What is distinct abt 15th century werewolves is that it was not a disease nor birthright, but rather a regular human making some ‘pact with the devil’ (read: magic). The werewolves from then would killed dozens of people and commit many crimes, and act feral once human again.
1500s: Blackshuckkin/Blackdogkin
The black shuck was a legend of hellhounds Ronaldo dogs that roamed the moor killing people
Subtypes:
Blackbeastkin: different from a dog or cat, this kin type spans 1500s to modern day
Houndkin: not to a specific time period but it falls specifically under blackshuckkin, and not caninekin
Phantomcatkin: this is a modern subtype under blackdogkin, since black dog sightings continued into modern day, along with the phantom cat sightings in England.
1500s: Benandanti Werewolves
People of a specific tradition were said to turn into wolves in their dreams and fight devils and witches. Considered themselves as good werewolves and hounds of god.
1700s: Beast of Gévaudan, Wolfkin
In the 1760s there were a continuous series of wolf attacks in the town of Gévaudan France. Though wolf attacks occurred, it is merely a legend of a terrible beast who would be killed by men and who come back another day. What was thought to be one regenerative creature, was more than likely multiple wolves in the area continuing to hunt in the town.
1800s: Wolfkin / Redwolfkin
This kintype was alive during the 1800s when settlers killed wolves in the US en masse, resulting in a wolf genocide.
Modern: Mythkin / Werewolfkin
My main and most prominent wolf related lossy life is definitely my modern werewolf kintype. It falls under the depiction of werewolves/lycanthropy as a disease that is passed from people.
Modern: Caninekin Vaguetype / Canidae Clado-kin
I count this since many of my shifts end up being connected to my caninekin or canidae clado-kin kintypes.

Which "evil" woman from mythology/folklore are you?
Tumblr media
🍰 VENUS FLYTRAP - MORGAN LE FAY
Morgan Le Fay, also known as Morgana, was a sorceress in Arthurian legend. In many legends, she is portrayed as a witch who can fly and change into shapes. Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Vita Merlini (c. 1150) named her as the ruler of Avalon, a marvelous island where King Arthur was to be healed of his wounds, and it described her as skilled in the arts of healing and of changing shape. You are extremely versatile and adaptable. Like Morgan, you may change parts of yourself to suit the current situation. You are multifaceted, but you don't always let people see your complexity because you fear judgment. You believe yourself to be a bad person, but those nearest to you find you warm, loving, and kind.

I might spruce up the aesthetics and theme at some point, but I can't say that's all that likely.
All headcanons/assertions/statements regarding characters here are kinon-based. Other interpretations of these characters aren't wrong, they're just not me.
My kins:
Strongest kin: Akechi Goro (P5/R) (multi)
Jack Noir/Sovereign Slayer/Spades Slick (HS) (multi)
"The Phantom" (Ace Attorney) (canon+)

Sigma Klim (Zero Escape) (canon)
Kakyoin (jjba) (multi)
Roy Mustang (fma:b) (canon)
Ava (Ex Machina) (canon)

Erhard Müller (Trauma Team) (canon)
Lance (Epic Battle Fantasy series) (canon)
Kaido Shun (AU Saiki K.) (AU)
Gaheris (arthurian legend) (specific)
The Alarming Scholar (Sunless Sea) (ambiguously canon)
Unknown/unspecified kins
-someone with relations to the kirijo group and knowledge of the cognitive world in persona
-monster historian in undertale
Rules
I will block at my own discretion
Doubles are fine. I like doubles
Feel free to reblog whatever you want
I don't tag things as kin/id/me
I like being asked questions about my kins
Blog is run by an adult but will not post any sexual content. There may be other mature content.
Refer to rule one for the dni.

Shitty Lancelot du Lac aesthetic: idk i think if you feel this bad about having sex with your best friend’s wife you could maybe just... not have sex with her? that’s an option. why are so many stories about like “oh i couldn’t help but betray you; i was beguiled by getting laid” dude. jerk off and go to bed knowing that you have the moral high ground
