You made a promise.

as an astrophysics major which stars do you think lancelot gawain and guinevere are thank you this is not an astrology question i want to know about stars or space anomalies

ALKDJF;LAKDSJFSKDJF FIRST OFF ANON THANK YOU FOR PREFACING THIS WASNT AN ASTROLOGY QUESTION BECAUSE. HHHHG. okay look there is nothing theoretically wrong with being into astrology BUT the number of people who have said “you’re an astrology major, right?” to me is so infuriating that i now hate it, perhaps unfairly

anyway. complaining about astrology over. i love this question. i have no idea how to interpret it. i dont know if you mean individual stars or class of stars? and i will go with class of stars cause thats an easier answer.

so to start off. gawain is a high-luminosity main spectrum blue star because he burns fast and bright but is extinguished before his time. he’s seen from far away, far more than many of the other characters, but all the light that reaches the viewer is dead light, and there’s nothing real or living on the other end. thats the edgiest fucking paragraph ive ever typed wow

guinevere is a red dwarf star because the life span of a red dwarf is longer than the age of the universe. she is still alive. literally you cannot fucking at me at this she is alive. but jokes aside she is a red dwarf star because her light is mostly invisible but at the same time forms the vast majority of the universe. unseen but also incredibly important

lancelot is a variable neutron star, once great and now collapsed into a high-stress ball of misery with an off-kilter magnetic field that makes him look very weird. i mean this literally, in that i do believe lancelot du lac the medieval literature character is rotating at high velocity and flings out electromagnetic radiation owards anyone who looks at him

I saw Seven Birds

“Weeping was her most common expression, So strongly was her heart set on him.” – A Selection of Verses Concerning The Maiden of Ascolot, the Stanzaic Morte Arthur (trans. Lou G Gringolet)

It’s Elaine day! I have a very special place in my heart for Elaine, and @gringolet​ Lou’s translation of her bits in the Stanzaic Morte is AMAZING. But also :((( so tragic. This piece is kind of a mesh between the Morte story and Tennyson’s story. 

also a bonus Elaine and Gawain that i did as a warmup sketch because their friendship is VITAL to me:

I’m back! I have an alternative theory and I like this one slightly better because it would mean Nott isn’t as fucked up, what with the whole ‘actually posing as a child’s death mother’ thing.

So, alternative theory:

1) Nott is a goblin.

2) She and Yeza met when he was captured by her clan.

3) She freed him, they ran away together.

4) Nott lived at Yeza’s place.

5) Yeza already had a son, but his biological mother already died.

6) Through his alchemy, Yeza was able to create potions that allowed Nott to become Beth/Veth. This is probably at Nott’s request.

7) Beth is not in any way related to Luke’s actual mom, but is a new person who slowly became Luke’s adopted mother.

8) Nott became more and more disillusioned with having to pretend to be someone without actually being them. She hates being a goblin.

9) Yeza probably doesn’t even see the issue and just wishes she could just be herself.

10) Nott and Yeza have a huge falling out over this. She leaves because she feels it’s more important to figure out her goblin situation than it is to stay and care for Luke.

11) Yeza is angry at her for abandoning her family. He’s not sure if she’ll ever succeed with her quest. He thinks she’s not coming back. Lots of complicated emotions.

12) He decides to tell Luke that Beth was killed by goblins (and to him, technically, she was). He lies about the packages because it’s too complicated.

13) Nott only wants to come back as Beth. But recent events have forced her hand.

14) Nott is incredibly ashamed of abandoning her family, and lies about it to the group.

Ahhhh today is Ysabele day!!! shes a really interesting character and im hyped to talk about her. I recommend this article (mentioned above) which discusses the proto-racist portrayal of India in the Roman van Walewein.

my reason for loving ysabele comes down to: she does actual literal murder and the text finds no problem with this. i think that is hilarious

this was written by me but with help from @pendraegon and @gringolet!!
