So, there's a lot of books that you complain about being awful (most of which I haven't read), usually because of the interpretation of some character (or many characters).
Is the problem with most of these books:
1. That the character on question has been written as a bad person,
2. That the interpretation differs from the Vulgate Cycle,
3. or the specific combination of those two things?
Or have I completely misread this situation?
See the thing is, yes it has to do with interpretation of characters, but perhaps not as superficial as it sounds! While I do love the Vulgate and prefer a more nuanced Mordred, that’s not really the root of the issue. I want Mordred to topple Camelot. I don’t expect or want authors to follow the Vulgate exclusively, there’s plenty from Chrétien or SGATGK or Parzival or the Mabinogion I’d love to see incorporated and they often are! Yay!
The real answer is a complicated thing that can only be expressed through examples because citing “misogyny” or “racism” doesn’t convey the magnitude or severity of the problem. Medieval society was misogynistic and racist at times, I don’t think those things should go ignored in a retelling. It would cheapen the narrative to pretend Guinevere’s or Morgause’s situations weren’t brought about largely due to the patriarchal systems at play nor do I want to pretend everyone who met Palomides was race blind.
Here’s an exhaustive list of sourced examples to indicate what I’ve encountered that really turned my stomach in retellings…content warning for everything from animal abuse to rape to genocide. This is gonna be long….
Adding more/intentional incest.
Agravaine sexually attracted to his mother Morgause (The Once and Future King by T. H. White) or to his aunt Guinevere (Arthur Rex by Thomas Berger, The Road to Avalon by Joan Wolf)
Gaheris sexually attracted to his mother Morgause (The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart)
Mordred sexually attracted to and raping his mother Morgause (Morgawse by Lavinia Collins)
Uther sexually attracted to his step-daughter Morgause (Igraine by Lavinia Collins)
Kay sexually involved with his uncle Lancelot (Guinevere and Morgan by Lavinia Collins)
Mordred sexually involved with his aunt Morgause (Guinevere Evermore by Sharan Newman)
Morgause attempting to seduce her teenage son Mordred (The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart)
Arthur marrying his sister Morgan (Bedivere by Wayne Wise)
A life-long sexual relationship between Arthur and his aunt Morgan (The Road to Avalon by Joan Wolf)
Mordred and “auntie” Morgan having sex (Merlin and the Sword (1985))
Exceedingly graphic first-person rape of Guinevere by her cousin Maelgwn (Queen of the Summer Stars by Persia Woolley)
Mordred kidnaps and tries to rape his sister Avlynn (Merlin and the Book of the Beasts (2009))
Increased racism.
Using modern slurs like the N word against Palomides (The Once and Future King by T. H. White)
Aggressive and confrontational Safir “restrained” by white characters and called “homicidal Moor” by Kay (The Book of Gaheris by Kari Sperring)
Palomides speaking in broken English mentioned as a “turn-off” for Morgause (Morgawse by Lavinia Collins)
Palomides a former slave orphaned and raised culturally British instead of immigrating to Britain and constantly othered as “the Arab companion” when the others don’t have modifiers like that (Queen of the Summer Stars and Legend in Autumn by Persia Woolley)
Depicting Arab Bertilak as perpetrator of pederasty, random anti-black or anti-Asian allusions, random antisemitism, etc. (Arthur Rex by Thomas Berger)
Tristan wanting to put down “barbarian” Palomides and drives him to madness (The Enchanted Cup by Dorothy James Roberts)
Black face Palomides (The Black Knight (1954))
Adding pedophilia/child brides.
Girls including Morgaine forced into ritualistic sexual situations for “ceremonial” reasons (Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley)
Eleven year old Morgause given to Lot in marriage by her mother Igraine who lied about her age (Morgawse by Lavinia Collins)
Child bride Isolde (Legend in Autumn by Lavinia Collins, Enemy of God by Bernard Cornwell)
Merlin sexually involved with fosterling Nimuë and later attracted to young Olwen (The Winter King and Excalibur by Bernard Cornwell)
Morgause preying on minors (The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart, The Book of Gaheris by Kari Sperring)
Pedophile/serial killers Kay and Mordred (Dragon’s Child and The Bloody Cup by M. K. Hume, The Queen’s Knight by Marvin Borowsky)
Morgause sexually abusing Agravaine (Queen of the Summer Stars by Lavinia Collins)
Pederast Arthur sleeping with young Peredur and Geraint (Arthur the King by Allan Massie)
Lancelot grooms young Mordred to be his lover (Mordred, Bastard Son by Douglas Clegg)
Bademagus raping 13yo Lynette (The King’s Damosel by Vera Chapman)
Warp a character into a rapist.
Morgause/Morgan tricking Arthur to sire Mordred (The Once and Future King by T. H White, Excalibur (1981), The Hollow Hills by Mary Stewart, Bedivere by Wayne Wise, Morgan by Lavinia Collins, Guinevere by Sharan Newman, Camelot (2011))
Gawain threatening Guinevere with rape then eventually banished from court for raping someone else (Guinevere and Morgawse by Lavinia Collins)
Exceedingly graphic first-person rapes of Morgause by Lot and Mordred, Morgan by Urien (Morgawse and Morgan by Lavinia Collins)
Morgause laughing when she learns how traumatized Arthur is after her seduction of him (Queen of Summer Stars by Persia Woolley)
Agravaine threatening to rape Guinevere (The Road to Avalon by Joan Wolf)
Perceval raping Layla and getting turned on watching the rape of someone else (A Knight’s Tale by Richard Monaco)
Lancelot forcing himself onto Guinevere (First Knight (1995))
Lancelot raping Galahad’s gf (The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell)
Bors tries to rig a dice game in which the prize is sex with Nimuë (Cursed (2020))
“He would not fucking say/do that.”
Arthur, Lot, Geraint, Urien, and Lancelot are wife beaters with minimal to no consequences (Warrior of the West by M. K. Hume, I Am Mordred by Nancy Springer, Igraine and Morgan by Lavinia Collins, Knight Life by Peter David)
Lancelot doesn’t rescue Guinevere leaving her to burn at the stake by Arthur (Fall of Knight by Peter David)
Lancelot used Guinevere for political gain (Excalibur by Bernard Cornwell, The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman)
Lancelot married to Elaine then cheats on her with Guinevere and causes his wife’s death leaving Galahad an orphan (Merlin (1998))
Agravaine skins Elaine’s cat and wears it (Queen of Summer Stars by Persia Woolley)
Gareth helps Gawain torture Pellinore to death (I Am Mordred by Nancy Springer)
Genocide.
Arthur picks up where Uther left off and continues to commit genocide against magic-users, Merlin helps (BBC Merlin (2008-2012)
The red paladins commit genocide against the fay, Lancelot helps (Cursed (2020))
Gawain uses sun powers to commit genocide in the holy land, other knights like Tristan, Mordred, and Agravaine help (F/GO Camelot Wandering (2020) and F/GO Camelot Paladin Agateram (2021))
Lancelot as high king of Britain commits genocide against allies of Arthur to stay in power, other knights like Dagonet, Lot, and Calogrenant help (Kaamelott: First Installment (2021))
So yeah. It isn’t ideal that Lamorak is old in Sword of Lancelot (1963) or Dagonet is stoic and boring in King Arthur (2004). But like, whatever! I like those films! Same goes for replacing Gaheris with Geraint in Sarah Zettel’s series or cutting Gareth out of Gillian Bradshaw’s trilogy. Kind of a bummer, lame even, but not a deal breaker. The things about these bad retellings that drive me mad are much more sinister than that, rooted in really detestable opinions about women and children and people of color.
Can’t Mordred, Agravaine, and Morgan be normal scheming/evil/power hungry like they were in BBC The Legend of King Arthur (1979) or Howard Pyle’s books or Knights of the Round Table (1953) instead of whatever the above are doing? Not to mention the complete violation of Guinevere, Morgause, Lancelot, and Gawain as characters. I’m so tired, man.
Hope this clears things up. Sorry if you made it through that list. I’m sure you hated reading it as much as I hated writing it. But I think it makes it clear the problem here and that I’m not just being picky. The psychic damage is taking its toll.

Stromer ST5 la primera bicicleta eléctrica con frenos ABS
Tumblr media
Stromer ST5 vuelve a sorprender con la innovación a la que nos tiene acostumbrados la marca en el mundo de las E-bikes, para nada es aventurado decir que la Stromer ST5 podría ser la mejor bicicleta eléctrica que se haya fabricado. Sin embargo, la marca Suiza es más prudente  con la difusión de sus productos, ellos prefieren asegurar que es el artículo del que nunca te desprenderás entre todos los que tengas, coches de alta gama, joyas, etc. De todo ello podrás prescindir salvo de esta auténtica pieza única. Los 2 años de trabajo de diseño que ha llevado el singular manillar de la ST5 dan como resultado una ebike totalmente futurista, cualquier bicicleta que coloquemos junto a ella será eclipsada por un producto que roza la perfección. En Merkabici solo quedamos a la espera de que en un futuro Stromer vuelva a sorprendernos, de momento la Stromer ST5 no es solo la mejor ebike del momento, es, desde nuestro punto de vista, la mejor ebike que se ha fabricado. Stromer ST5 - Manillar sorprendente Al observarla sabes que estás ante un producto diferente, único, es una obra de arte en si misma con la que podrías disfrutar solo viéndola en un rincón de tu casa como si de una escultura se tratara. Poco importan sus 1000Wh de batería, las posibilidades de su renovado sistema omni, su modo Sport que exprime los 850W de su impresionante motor, su cambio electrónico XTR Di2, sus cubiertas de 27,5 Pirelli, entre otros detalles más los cuales mencionaremos a continuación. Rocket eBike la primera bicicleta eléctrica que se recarga sola. Stromer ST5 a detalle Olvidando el precio y el peso, el Stromer ST5 tiene algunos elementos hechos a medida: - Guardabarros de aleación tubular, que atrapa la suciedad cuando está mojado. - Luces delanteras y traseras. La luz delantera está incrustada en el marco. - Sistema de bloqueo automático mediante un teléfono inteligente. - Controlador de pantalla táctil en la barra superior. - Bocina integrada. Para una batería con un alcance de 180 km, podría pensar en lo pesada que es la batería; 4,44 kg Por esta razón, la batería siempre se puede quitar para reducir el peso, especialmente antes de intentar montarla en un bastidor de automóvil. El cuadro y la horquilla tienen una estructura de aleación de aluminio , lo que proporciona una resistencia y durabilidad más que suficientes En cuanto a los colores disponibles, solía haber verde marino y ahora grafito. Creo que la marina verde fue perfecta. La pantalla de la luz delantera y trasera es muy brillante cuando se tira de la palanca del freno. Esto es beneficioso para que el tráfico que viene en sentido contrario lo vea, especialmente de noche. BH Core Carbon una nueva Ebike con hasta 220 Km de autonomía Características destacadas de la Stromer ST5 Stromer ST5 - Motor SYNO Lo primero que notará es el potente motor de buje deportivo SYNO sin engranajes . El motor funciona silenciosamente, tiene un diseño duradero y reduce la fricción. Además, ofrece frenado regenerativo con cinco niveles de recuperación . Lo fantástico es que puede simular subidas y recarga la batería al pedalear en descensos largos. El sistema de frenado es lo suficientemente potente (diseño de 4 pistones) que también reduce el desgaste de los discos hidráulicos. Alternativamente, el sistema es más complejo y han actualizado el diseño del enchufe con HIRT. El servicio de la rueda trasera es cómodo y, con un solo cable, el diseño ofrece menos desorden. Sillín Morgaw con sistema de amortiguación para absorber los golpes que se produce en la pelvis Sistema ABS Para empezar, cabe señalar que Bosch ya ofrece un sistema ABS para bicicletas eléctricas . Sin embargo, incorpora un módulo que se monta debajo del manillar, por lo que no está completamente integrado en la bicicleta. Este fue incluso el caso de una bicicleta eléctrica de concepto de Bosch , que fue diseñada específicamente para adaptarse al sistema. En cambio, el Stromer ST5 ABS de fabricación suiza utiliza un sistema de frenos antibloqueo más sigiloso creado por la empresa italiana Blubrake. La configuración ya se utiliza en la bicicleta eléctrica Trefecta RDR bastante exagerada, junto con algunas otras. En 2016, Blubrake se asoció con Pinarello para desarrollar un sistema similar al ABS que advirtió a los ciclistas sobre derrapes inminentes haciendo que las palancas de freno zumbaran ; sin embargo, en realidad no impidió que los frenos se bloqueen. Este no es el caso del sistema más nuevo. En el caso del ST5 ABS, incorpora un módulo electrónico dentro del tubo superior de la bicicleta, un actuador conectado al freno de disco hidráulico delantero, un sensor de velocidad de rueda en la rueda delantera y una pantalla integrada en el tubo superior que confirma que todo está funcionando correctamente. Un nuevo diseño más eficiente Otra cosa fantástica es que el motor está separado del tren de transmisión de los pedales y no interfiere durante el cambio. No importa en qué marcha pedalees, acelera continuamente. El cambio del desviador es electrónico con Di2 y ayuda a reposicionar la cadena cada vez. Cerca del agarre izquierdo, hay un gatillo estilo botón que ofrece cambios de varios pasos cuando se presiona. La carga de la batería de la bicicleta eléctrica se realiza a través de este puerto y no está conectada a la batería. Bicicletas Eléctricas: Motores, Baterías y Componentes El ST5 está equipado con una batería de iones de litio , que es de 48 voltios y 20,2 amperios hora con un total de 983 vatios hora. Incluido, recibe un cargador voluminoso que genera 4.5 amperios de carga rápida con una punta de carga magnética. Otro punto a destacar es la pantalla a color LCD OMNI . Con el botón de goma debajo de la pantalla, puede ver el recorrido y los menús de configuración. Debe usar la pantalla para expulsar la batería. Con la pantalla LCD, puede ver su velocidad actual, nivel de batería, niveles de asistencia y mucho más. Además, la pantalla tiene un sensor de luz que cambia de un fondo blanco a negro automáticamente. Una vez que conecte su dispositivo iOS o Android, puede ajustar la configuración de velocidad, aceleración y más. Especificaciones Stromer ST5 - Cuadro: Aluminio - Motor: Syno Sport 850W, Torque 48Nm - Velocidad de asistencia: 45Km/h - Batería: 983Wh  - Frenos: Stromer By TRP. - Horquilla:  ST5 aluminio, opcional horquilla de suspensión - Cubiertas: Stromer by Pirelli Cycl-e - Sillín: Stromer Custom Ergon - Cambio trasero: Shimano Alfine XTR Di2 11 Speed 11-42 - Puños: Ergon - Luz Delantera: Supernova M99 Pro - Luz Trasera: Supernova M99 Taillight - Luz de Día: Stromer Daylight - Guardabarros:  Stromer Custom Aluminio €9.490,00 Precio Read the full article

Sillines MORGAW
Os presentamos una revolución en los sillines para bicicletas, son los nuevos sillines MORGAW, creados por los ex-ciclistas de montaña profesionales Martin Moravcik y Slawek Gawlik (MOR+GAW).
Tumblr media
Presentan un nuevo sistema de suspensión en los sillines basado en un juego de raíles con elastómeros que proporcionan una práctica amortiguación extra con un recorrido de entre 5 y 10 milímetros para proteger nuestras pelvis siendo capaces de absorber pequeños impactos y oscilar con nuestros movimientos.
Tumblr media
Otro aspecto importante de los MORGAW es la posibilidad de reemplazar los railes en caso de romperlos por caídas sin tener que comprarte un sillín nuevo. Esperamos que os hayan gustado, podéis consultar su catalogo aquí.
