"Gaining Strength and Going Homeward..."

Me: God, Rosemary Miles makes me feel unclean.
Her: What?
Me: She writes Arthuriana. It's--it's not very good.
Her: What's wrong with it?
Me: Well, like, what I was looking at to-day? She was talking about Gawain, and I couldn't believe what she'd done to him. It's just wrong; Gawain isn't like that. Gawain is--there's a reason they call him the maiden's knight.
Her: Ohhh. She made him gay?

...

Me: No! No, no, that's not it! Honestly, that would scare me less. I mean, he's just the model of chivalry and more than that of courtesy and she kind of made him into a stupid, vulgar, randy goatherd type. It was very disturbing.
Her: Oh.

Me: Ahahaha gay Gawain shhh don't tempt me.

XD I would've assumed that a corruption of the Maiden's Knight would be sex-crazed! Although, in a sense, he could still be the "Maiden"'s knight...

He kind of was. I wanted to cry. XD That is not Gawain.

Poor Gawain... Being desecrated so!

--Platonically, there is a True Gawain in some ethereal, unattainable realm. He is likely offended by this corruption.
