if you haven't gotten lancelot for character bingo, then LANCELOT. if you have, then whatever morally questionable arthuriana woman you love most <3 (also p.s. when I reblogged that photo of the wet lil man on the beach I was like. this is tumblr user jetiisse's lancelot. he doesn't know it but that's what he is)

poor wet bastard is doomed to a life of suffering and doesn't even know it 😔✊

SO all lancelots are fun and i enjoy when he's horribly violent and tortured about it especially the way lou writes him, when i mess with him i tend to lean more into the sad pathetic angle with the violence as a bit of an afterthought. he is my biggest blorbo. i'll project issues i don't even have onto him. i'll give him issues that no one has ever had. he Has to be carried in a handbag otherwise he gets overwhelmed and starts trembling and barking at strangers. i'm sure we're all aware that he has chemistry with a lot of people but a/g/l is still my unrivalled favourite because i Need him to angst over it for like twenty years and then it turns out to be like not a big deal at all and then they're happy <3

okay Now i'm gonna get unhinged so everyone stop reading if u don't wanna hear about elaine (of corbenic) and lancelot's many mental illnesses. so obviously my favourite thing is when he's very very distressed and i think more media should lean into this plot point bc it's very interesting. one of toafk's best features imo was that white went fairly hard on describing how deeply lancelot was upset by his assault and how long that stuck with him. i also liked when guinevere was dismissive or downright cruel about his struggles, for one because lancelot thinks this is a reasonable response and for another because it hits to me like she's uncomfortable acknowledging the fact that her very best special knight Is vulnerable and Could vanish forever just because his brain doesn't work quite right. i also also liked when he almost hanged himself to avoid public embarassment <3

in conclusion my opinion is that he should and does suffer!

#and that doesn't even touch on my au opinons. so now i will!#in my head tgk verse lancelot has sort of passed the worst of his instability and mostly settled down #galahad has returned to camelot without the grail and is struggling to figure out what to do with his life #neither of them expected to coexist for this long and lancelot is still upset by galahad's existence but really doesn't wanna #see him Descend Into Despair too #so he very awkwardly tries to start reconciling with galahad. arthur mediates a lot #and the far more fucked up au is a modern one i talk abt with my dead dove pals #in which (EVERY TW AHEAD) elaine is a pastor's daughter of the entitled cultlike-christian variety #who fucks lancelot while he's drunk and blames him for the backlash when she gets pregnant #he's guilted into staying with her once galahad is born but she mostly resents him. he has his typical psychotic break from the stress #which more or less makes her medically responsible for him and ruins his life #arthur eventually insists that he come stay with him and guinevere and he's basically just on suicide watch for a while #he decides he wants custody of galahad after it becomes clear that galahad is austistic and elaine is pushing for really inappropriate #treatments basically treating him as contaminated by his father's 'sin' or psychosis #so arthur and guinevere help him thru the custody battle and he narrowly wins #he and galahad go to family therapy a lot and kay is here and they all help raise galahad #and lancelot discovers that his new passion is being a househusband and going to pottery classes and taking galahad to soccer practice #and they're happy 💕#so that's my lancelot opinion!#oh also none of this reflects how i actually interpret the story jsdfhsdjshj the point is purely to torture lance
