#the incest. adultry. general bad stuff

[raspberryzingaaa]

I cant read King Arthur books anymore because they make me So Sad. He is this man trying so hard to be a wise and just king and his sisters are messed up beyond all belief, his wife is cheating on him, his best friend is both in love with his wife and also goes missing for 7 years because he went insane briefly, and his mentor disappeared. It's just so heartbreaking. All of the odds are always against him and they keep getting So Close to destroying him.

This is why I can only read the kids book I have from my youth because it's just about valient adventures and good times. And also Lancelot is in love with his Own wife in that version (elaine my beloved) but is it too much too ask that Guinevere love her husband? And mayhaps the court is all good and fair and the only evils are the ones against the battle field? But then I suppose, to quote the old monk "evil knows how to climb walls"
