There’s no way you can convince me this plot point isn’t a direct Monty Python reference

snake are beasts of the air, that’s a new one to me

“I’ll tell you what I did,” she said, “I had spent a long time raising in my castle one of the beasts they call serpents; he was more useful to me than you can imagine. Yesterday, that beast flew by chance to this mountain and found a lion cub that she carried to this rock. You ran after her with your sword and killed her, though she had done nothing to you. Tell me why you did this. Had I done something to you to warrant this killing? Was the lion yours or in your charge, so that you felt obliged to fight on its behalf? Are the beasts of the air so insignificant that you can kill them without cause?”

— The Quest for the Holy Grail, Chapter 29, E. Jane Burns translation

Since I’m in an Arthur mood, I decided to find a book I remember reading and liking as a kid. It’s so cute and small. 🥰

“The Night of the Holy Grail”  by Frederick J Waugh

* * * * *

“A time may come soon,“ said he, "when none will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.” She answered: “All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.” “What do you fear, lady?” he asked. “A cage,” she said. “To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

I know plenty of people find Eyck way too pompous and, well, fair enough, but I simply can't fathom not bringing him along in the party. He's so sweet and earnest and funny. Lovely silly little (/extremely gigantic, encased in armor) man.

#i find him endearing what can i say #he turns my quest into a Monty Python Holy Grail adventure a little bit and it's fun. it appeals to me. #eyck of denesle #thronebreaker
