Considering Starting To Derail Bbc Merlin Posts With Medieval Rambling, Just Because I Think It Would

Considering starting to derail bbc merlin posts with medieval rambling, just because I think it would be funny to reverse roles

This is the funniest shit

Really proud of myself rn

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

Lancelot and Gawain's polar opposite reactions to being faced with their sins is so funny to me. Lancelot has a total breakdown, but Gawain goes "Hm. I'd repent, but then I'd have to feel bad, and I don't."
