(but like, Kay certainly would know all the Orkney brothers just because of their connection to Arthur. And yet. Who’s that kitchen boy that looks exactly like Gareth?? Idk probably some peasant)

“Most of the Scottish chronicles from the late fourteenth century until the early sixteenth present Arthur as having usurped Mordred’s rightful place, rather than the other way around” (Romancing Treason by Megan Leitch) ✔✔ 👍

Arthurian legends are like, Elaine of Astolat and Elaine of Corbenic are different women both related to Lancelot; Queen Isolde, Isolde of Ireland and Isolde of the White Hands are different women all related to Tristan in a way; in some legends Arthur had three wives, all called Gwenhwyfar, in some other he only had one but her sister’s name was also Gwenhwyfar, Ywain and Ywain the Bastard are two different sons of Urien
but by the way, Nimue and Vivianne are the same single character, and so are Morgause and Anna

chatter apparently my favourite stories are the ones so confusing you're not sure what character are you reading about anymore arthurian

I've started reading some arthurian tales and now I'm so excited to talk about them to you! First of all, how did you come to ship Mordred and Galahad? In the stories I've read they havn't met, so I'm wondering about the story of the two. Have you ever drawn Percival? And do you know Feirefiz? I think he's barely in any stories, but he seems really cool. Who are your all time favourites characters?

Ohhh write off anon so we can chat about arthuriana more! \ o \
I sort of– got warmed up to the idea of the ship after reading lucrezianoin’s ship manifesto and generally lurking at her blog; I like the juxtaposition of their stories and the potential of their dynamics but I’ve also never read any book where they’d interact (despite their knowing each other making a lot of sense – both were knights of the round table & unwanted sons of men who were best friends so) but I know that they interact in Blessed Bastard.  You should ask @lucrezianoin if there are any other books.
I’ve never drawn Percival and I’m not that failiar with Feirefiz, I’m rather “meh” towards the whole Grail quest arc (in fact Galahad used to be a character I disliked the most haha oops;; I definitely do like Percival better)
As for favourite characters, it’s sort of obvious from my drawings but Morgause and Mordred are like– my all-time favourite characters, and I like them in almost every adaptation, whether they’re sympathetic or irredeemably evil. I also really like Lancelot (especially T.H. White’s, where he’s all ugly and sad)
(I also really like Faerie Knight, just because he’s a brother of Black Knight and they have adventures together and the visual image in my head is amazing)
