#well i mean im PRETTY SURE its son and nephew idk theres some versions out there where hes just one or the other bc like

so im reading this ya book based on arthurian legend and its pretty good so far, its interesting, its enjoyable, but the thing is. since its young adult there is of course at least the buildings of a love triangle. understandable. it happens. i enter every ya book with the affirmation that i will be ok and expect it if theres a love triangle. especially understandable since, of course, arthurian legend has a love triangle of its own, and the main pairing here is guinevere and arthur- but the thing is. the thing is. instead of lancelot being the third. its fucking mordred

#8lah #WHY IS IT FUCKING MORDRED #LANCELOT HASNT EVEN APPEARED GHNFGNHMGHFHFHM #for my unaware followers: in the original; mordred is arthurs son and nephew (yes); and also eventually kills arthur #in this one hes just his nephew (from a significantly older sister so theyre about the same age) #no word on the murder yet :/ #its just. why him. why #well i mean im PRETTY SURE its son and nephew idk theres some versions out there where hes just one or the other bc like #they only had 3 names for women and some got combined or separated throughout the ages
