You made a promise.
Anyways cukibola we get it youre in love with me stop stalking my blog and taking my discussions out of context to demonize me and my close friends over blatent lies <3
grabs ur face
stop disconnecting from the thing ur making just because ur afraid it’s not good. I know you don’t wanna get ur feelings hurt caring for a project that other people might not like but dammit that’s better than deciding not to give a shit and hiding behind self-deprecating humor and dispassionately trudging ahead! fuck!
god im too tired to articulate this but the consistent attention to guinevere and gawain’s friendship in the dutch texts??? hhhhhhhhhh. like it makes so much sense cause they both came to camelot as teenagers in ways which were not of their choosing, they are both very political characters, and especially in the dutch texts they’re the ones controlling the court and especially controlling arthur (which is also the case with gawain in the vulgate->malory tradition as well). but i havent seen many other instances in other traditions of the kind of details the dutch put in. in die wrake gawain steals a dog for guinevere because he thinks she would like it (this might be in the vengeance, idk, i havent forced myself to trek through the old french yet and theres no translation). in lancelot and the hart with the white foot it’s mentioned that gawain and guinevere are hanging out specifically without arthur. in walewein ende keye gawain sends his vanquished foes to guinevere and not arthur. and it also ties in to the really complex court intrigue going on in dutch camelot (which im making a more formal post about so i wont go into here) but also aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh they are frieeeeeeeends. they ARE the queer trans disney channel original movie villains we all deserve. they are mean and awful and bully arthur canonically. they own my whole heart

“He slid into the skin of a solitary Satan as though he had never enjoyed the flourish of language, the delights of civil power. It was war, now. Naked and bloody.”
- Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake
Yeah so according to @gawain-in-green this quote from Gormenghast is very unhinged-Gawain-core (I agree). I’m not very experienced at comics but I’m actually very into this one thank you for looking at it <333 gawain…. blood…. kissing…. archways… favorite things to draw
(btw if anyone ever wants requests for art or like. writing. please send in ask box i would die for you)
Please please please look at my old shitty unfinished art and tell me I exist
heyyyyy everyone!!! people have been talking about how there are a lot of underappreciated side characters in arthuriana, so me and some friends figured we could do a side characters appreciation week, especially with female and/or poc characters who don’t get talked about much. we’re going to make content for these characters starting on monday with elaine of shalott, plus ahead-of-time info sheets on them for anyone who wants to join in!! :)
