Once again again thinking about how we were robbed of Gwaine and Lancelot interactions in bbc merlin.
One, because it would’ve been iconic. Two, because of their individual friendships with Merlin. Three, because of their differing views of nobility and knighthood (at least the way their views began). And four, because they were homoerotic as FAHCK in arthuriana.
Inspired by this post of incorrect quotes by @mcbender10
Here i introduce my other main merlin bbc ship, such an underrated one, i love my boys, true to the original script as well X)))) (Gawain and Lancelot definitely had sth going on lol) completing my duty by making some cutesy fanart for them <33
Dedicated to my friend @eviltoxicmosssauce that appreciate this ship as much as i do X)))
The fact that Gawain spent his whole life despising royals and hiding the fact he was from a noble family because he never wanted to be a knight just to be knighted by Arthur when he thought his death was soon
The look on his face there’s so many emotions so many thoughts in his pretty head
“Only for Arthur would I do this”
“I can’t fucking believe I’m gonna die a fucking knight”
Like yadda yadda modern interpretations and stuff but like, the quote is
“I wish I were a fair maiden, then I would woo him [Lancelot]”
There is some context to this, and based on the context it can be debated whether or not Gawain was trans, but still. Oh but on that note.
Gawain is absolutely bisexual. Regardless of the context, if you’re a man and unironically express a desire to sleep with what is clearly a man, then you are some flavour of gay. And Gawain, the ladies man of Arthurian myth, expressed a desire to sleep with the handsome knight. He is at the very least bisexual, probably poly or pan given how he’s slept with magical creatures and loved a wide range of women.
