Bedivere is hungover, Guinevere is probably sleeping behind her screen, Galahad couldn't care less amd Gawain is here to learn. Covid classes but make it arthurian 😭
Arthurian legends are bonkers this weirdo dumbass kid got sticks thrown at him for being a loser with a stupid horse and not five minute later he murders a guy with a fork
Can we just take a minute to truely appreciate Sir Lucan The Good. Like this guy has known Arthur for YEARS. He knows what Arthur's temper can be like, yet he still tries to persuade him not to fight Mordred at the end of Camlann:
// Arthur: 'Now give me my spear', said Arthur (...)
Lucan: 'Sir, let him be,' said Sir Lucan, (...) 'for here, we be three alive,' \\
Of course, Arthur fights Mordred anyway, but (spoilers!) it's how Lucan dies that really gets me. When Lucan and his brother, Sir Bedivere go to lift Arthur up off the Chapel floor that they are sheltering in from battlefield thieves, he's observed only through Arthur's eyes; "he beheld Sir Lucan, how he lay foaming at the mouth, and part of his guts lay at his feet."
Which is an absolutely awful fate for anyone, but especially for this sweet man, who was so loyal and so genuine, which is hard to say for many knights of the round table funnily enough.
