[ID: A color illustration from a medieval manuscript, showing a knight on a brown horse using his sword to slice in half a dragon that is biting the tail of a lion.
The knight has chainmail and a red shield with a rampart lion, the dragon has two visible legs and a skinny tail, with brown-red skin. The lion is drawn relatively realistically, except that its fur is blue rather than tan.
There are stylized green-grey trees behind them and gold for the background.
The illustration is bordered by blue lines meeting gold square corners, with the horse's back legs outside the square, the hooves standing on a small drawn ledge, to show how quickly the knight entered the scene.
End ID.]
(I assume the lion is blue because of colors fading or something)

Arthurian Tumblr: Sir Kay just can’t get a break.
German, French, English and Dutch writers: And this new, totally not new super awesome OC beat up Kay because he sucks so much.
Welsh writers and inheritors of the truth: Sir Kay is awesome. Lancelot and Yvain are nothing but little turds.

Very dubious about the state of my Arthurian retellings because on one hand Yvain/Owain could be an extremely interesting character to write...
On the other hand, I HATE HIM

Gauvain and Yvain recognizing each other on the battlefield and going « I am defeated. » « No, I am defeated. » « Shut up, I already said that I am defeated. » « Well, I don’t accept that, because I say that I am defeated!! » while Arthur is looking from one to the other with the biggest smirk is exactly what I ask of classic literature
