GUINEVERE

IS

SO

Fae-coded

You can almost feel like the Christian writers know that Gwen can't and can never be an ordinary lady, especially within THIS kind of setting - the Arthurian Setting, the pinnacle of the Chivalric Romance genre.

A setting where nothing ordinary or mundane is at the forefront. A setting where men like Arthur and Lancelot exist - Men who are objectively superhuman - both in character and in physicality.

This is a world where Arthur, Lancelot and every other male character has curb-stomped entire armies by their lonesome, go toe-to-toe with fearsome monsters, and endure punishing physical challenges that would kill lesser men.

Where Arthur can be the most charismatic and most virtuous king in the world, ruling over a kingdom with strange habits and customs. Where Lancelot can harbor love so strong, that it can both empower him as much as it kills him.

And these men are in love with Guinevere.

Guinevere, as character in this genre, HAS to be an exemplar female in order to fit in and complement the men in her life. The problem is that the exemplar women of this genre are on the cusp, if not outright, of unchristian status.

Other Arthurian women who are Fae-coded include:

Isolde (who is a "doctor", whose uncle is the giant Morholt)

Enide (who has several cousins with strange-looking horses and another cousin who trapped her lover in an enchanted garden; Chretien de Troyes saw fit to assure the readers that Enide didn't use spells or charms to arm Erec)

Laudine (who owns a magical storm-making fountain and a magic ring)

Lynette & Lyonesse (One is capable of reviving a knight that has been cut to pieces. The other also owns a magic ring. Both are sisters of the Lord of Avalon)

Ragnelle (who has a brother by the name of Gromer Somer Jeure, which means "Man of Summer Day", and is made the mother of Gawain's son Gingalain, who is normally half-fae)

...and all of them are described as unbelievable beauties comparable to Guinevere. Right.

The Whumps of March 2024: "Lonely" (ALT. Prompt)

A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.

“Do you think he ever loved me?”

Lunete looked up from her sewing, blinking owlishly. Lady Laudine’s gaze had drifted out the window again.

“I know he did, milady. I wish you would believe that.”

“Not enough to stay with me. Not enough to come back, either.”

Lunete didn’t have a response for that.

“I loved Esclados, you know.” Her eyes clouded. “He was a good husband. Even though…I’m not sure if he ever loved me, either. I didn’t think I would love Yvain at first. I just needed someone, for protection. But by the time he asked to leave…”

She sniffled. 

Lunete leaned over and placed her hand over her mistress', trying to be comforting. But she could tell that Laudine was longing for a different kind of companionship.

lancelot, guinevere and arthur from the book of romance (1902), luned by @gringolet and laudine by sir edward burne-jones

[ID 1: colourful art of lancelot escorting guinevere, both on horses, to a standing arthur while knights look on in the background. /end ID 1 ID 2: digital artwork of a woman with long hair braided holding up a ring. next to it is artwork of a woman in a green dress asleep on a chair. /end ID 2]

arthur/guinevere/lancelot manages to take the biggest problem in arthurian literature and sort it out nicely preventing frankly most of the deaths and whole lot of pain.

both luned and laudine have strong beliefs and opinions and could easily run a kingdom together. given that luned was helping yvain the whole time he tried to date laudine, she is basically laudine's girlfriend anyway.

Laudine: This year, I lost my dear husband Ywaine.

Ywaine: Quit telling everyone I’m dead!

Laudine: Sometimes I can still hear his voice!
