And then they took their horses and rode throughout a fair forest; and then they came to a plain, and saw where were many pavilions and tents, and a fair castle, and there was much smoke and great noise; and when they came near the siege Sir Beaumains espied upon great trees, as he rode, how there hung full goodly armed knights by the neck, and their shields about their necks with their swords, and gilt spurs upon their heels, and so there hung nigh a forty knights shamefully with full rich arms. Then Sir Beaumains abated his countenance and said, What meaneth this? Fair sir, said the damosel, abate not your cheer for all this sight, for ye must courage yourself, or else ye be all shent, for all these knights came hither to this siege to rescue my sister Dame Lionesse, and when the Red Knight of the Red Launds had overcome them, he put them to this shameful death without mercy and pity. And in the same wise he will serve you but if you quit you the better. Le Morte D'Arthur, Book 8 | Thomas Malory

i drew this with protoverse in mind but can be taken for normal fate arthuriana since gareth is so androgynous teehee
anyway
gareth's quest to save lyonesse sparked very different emotions the whole time

Fae-coded
You can almost feel like the Christian writers know that Gwen can't and can never be an ordinary lady, especially within THIS kind of setting - the Arthurian Setting, the pinnacle of the Chivalric Romance genre.
A setting where nothing ordinary or mundane is at the forefront. A setting where men like Arthur and Lancelot exist - Men who are objectively superhuman - both in character and in physicality.
This is a world where Arthur, Lancelot and every other male character has curb-stomped entire armies by their lonesome, go toe-to-toe with fearsome monsters, and endure punishing physical challenges that would kill lesser men.
Where Arthur can be the most charismatic and most virtuous king in the world, ruling over a kingdom with strange habits and customs. Where Lancelot can harbor love so strong, that it can both empower him as much as it kills him.
And these men are in love with Guinevere.
Guinevere, as character in this genre, HAS to be an exemplar female in order to fit in and complement the men in her life. The problem is that the exemplar women of this genre are on the cusp, if not outright, of unchristian status.
Other Arthurian women who are Fae-coded include:
Isolde (who is a "doctor", whose uncle is the giant Morholt)
Enide (who has several cousins with strange-looking horses and another cousin who trapped her lover in an enchanted garden; Chretien de Troyes saw fit to assure the readers that Enide didn't use spells or charms to arm Erec)
Laudine (who owns a magical storm-making fountain and a magic ring)
Lynette & Lyonesse (One is capable of reviving a knight that has been cut to pieces. The other also owns a magic ring. Both are sisters of the Lord of Avalon)
Ragnelle (who has a brother by the name of Gromer Somer Jeure, which means "Man of Summer Day", and is made the mother of Gawain's son Gingalain, who is normally half-fae)
...and all of them are described as unbelievable beauties comparable to Guinevere. Right.

Gareth and Lynette Sure don't like each other
Its just so fucking funny to me
I dont have my sources rn but i just find it hilarious how fcking mean some people are to gareth
And the fact that Gareth and Lyonesse are so jn love and trying to have that premarital sex but then Lynette (and iirc in some versions, even the other Orkneys) cockblocks them so bad to the point of enchanting an armor to attack Gareth (and he actually gets stabbed in the thigh the two times they try to consumate their premarriage relationship)

i still ship Gareth(beaumains) and Lynette(lady savage) ngl
They were two egotistical idiots forced by Arthur on behalf of Gareth(Beaumains) on a roadtrip together. Lynette was an ass to him and kept calling him "unworthy kitchen boy". Gareth was an ass to her and won't let her be released from his charge coz "he promised King Arthur". Lynette kept asking other knights to kill him so that she could be free. Gareth kept killing all those knights and wont give them mercy unless she asked for them to be shown mercy.
But ngl it's obvious they pushed and challenged each other the whole time.
And at the end, Lynette finally admitted her mistakes and apologized and went on assisting and healing him.
and Gareth still thought he never did any wrong.
Their toxic hate-hate-enemies-to-friends relationsht was a lot more organic and built thru prolonged exposure with each other in a extended roadtrip filled with challenges.
I wish they just became more. They honestly brought out the best and worst in each other. Gareth x Lynette is probably one of the most fleshed out m/f dynamics in malory i have ever seen.

what are you seeking?
Tumblr media
HOME
"i wish i could say i am a light that never goes out, but i flicker from time to time." // oh, little one, you have burned for so quietly for so long, haven't you? burnt yourself out trying to give others light? wishing, desperately, that they would notice the way your hands shake or the wildflower bruises under your tired eyes. but they never have, have they? and so, it obviously wasn't bad? right? you had more to give, didn't you? how much could you pour yourself out before they noticed? it is all you've ever known, after all. help, help, help, help. (are you providing it, or begging for it?) but you've given too much, spread yourself too thin, didn't you? you are so heavy, so tired. you have spent your life carrying for others the way you wished someone would care for you. but you're worried, aren't you? that if you can't be what they need, if you can't be the pillar for others to lean on, they'll leave you. what you seek is home, a safe place to rest and be taken care of. and little light, you deserve it. you have earned it. you are worth more than what you can provide for others: you deserve the same care you so freely give out. they will love you all the same, honey. set down the world, and rest that weary heart of yours
Tumblr media
PEACE
"i survived because the fire in me burned brighter than the fire around me." // oh, little soldier, how long have you been at war with yourself? how much of yourself have you lost to the fire that's made its home in your heart? oh, but who can blame you? for as long as you can remember, you've had to face the world alone. all bared teeth and bloody knuckles. you learned young the only person you could rely on was yourself, didn't you? learned that the others would leave you to the wolves? and so you learned how to fight, how to stand tall even if you stood alone, how to shed the softness that wounded you before. but that isn't very sustainable, is it? the embers you swallowed, the fire you cloaked yourself in, it doesn't just burn the world around you. you have watched piece after piece of you go up in smoke: your hope, your smile, your mercy. what you seek is an end to the seemingly endless burning. and, little phoenix, you deserve it. please, breathe out. lean on me. the world isn't as cruel as you've made it out to be: it is okay to stop fighting. it is okay to let go of that anger. there is so much more to you, so much more that you have. the serenity you seek can be granted, but only once you are willing to work on letting go of the hate you've harbored for so long now.
