idk who needs to hear this but if you're writing an arthurian retelling and neglect gaheris...you are my enemy. either cut him entirely (like gillian bradshaw) or use him fully (like gerald morris) but under no circumstances are you allowed to dump his crimes onto agravaine and split. you're supposed to add depth, not shift the maximum two things he does narratively and leave him with nothing. gaheris did not put his whole pussy into his squire duties to be written off as the tagalong matricidal middle bro with zero personality traits to speak of. he's going on a high shelf until authors grasp this.

#the more retellings i read the more im like.....you didnt even try #hes just......there #and then they have agravaine kill morgause for some usually gross reason and gaheris might as well be a fly on the wall #not only should gaheris be the one to do it but setting it up ahead of time is non negotiable sorry #not in the way woolley or white did it for agravaine. if you know you know.#gaheris is lawful evil from day 1 and its so fascinating i want to study him like a bug and expand on it #put that guy in situations #dont be afraid to add stuff please make him engaging #he can still be introverted why is it only the extroverted characters who get depth #wheres our shy crazy people representation huh #gaheris is the posterboy lets goooooo
