If I'm being honest Gawain saying he wishes he were a woman so Lancelot would love him is not that weird because Lancelot is literally in love with Gawain's aunt and bestie

so many decisions made by medieval lit characters are explained by the fact that they all hit each other on the head with metal objects for fun

I wish to make brief mention of an acquaintance which was made in private between the moon and the sun. Do you know of whom I mean to speak? He who was lord of the knights, and who was renowned above them all, ought surely to be called the sun. I refer, of course, to my lord Gawain, for chivalry is enhanced by him just as when the morning sun sheds its rays abroad and lights all places where it shines. And I call her the moon, who cannot be otherwise because of her sense and courtesy. However, I call her so not only because of her good repute, but because her name is, in fact, Lunete. Yvain, or the Knight of the Lion | Chrétien de Troyes
for some reason this little friendship/flirtation has always stuck in my mind and I've wanted to draw something for it for ages. i just like the idea of Gawain having lots of gal pals haha
