So. Watching the Mists of Avalon miniseries. And there is Edward Atterton.
* Sword swinging: check
* Period dress: check
* LOL dialogue: check
* Getting the ladies (or just, y'know, Lancelot): check

But one new addition to what I'm (prematurely?) thinking of as standard Atterton. This time, he's blond. He's blond. Sort of curly, really artificial, and just, just, LOL.

It's so distracting. I kind of can't stop laughing every time I see it. ...him. It. His hair. I love it, even while I feel it's a little... hideous? Hair in this miniseries is awesome, guys.

... OMG Arthur/Morgaine OTP! SHUT UP I CAN'T HELP IT. OH EM GEE. CUTEST. EVER. From 5:58 on. Poor Lancelot. Poor Gwen. "But I am sworn to Arthur." "As am I." Honour ruins everything for everyone. Honour and love. So much suck, guys. Sigh.

I don't think there's a KevinMerlin in this miniseries. Too much trouble to explain. I am not yet in love with mini Mordred. Oo, or older Mordred.

Let's get these Avalon priestesses to meet the Bene Gesserit because I think they are distantly related. "Witchcraft" and political meddling and bloodline manipulation and crazy self control and so on. The only major difference I can think of is their official stance on religion, and that depends on how Merlin-esque you take the philosphy of Avalon. Also, uh, birth control.

I had never thought of this. I cannot yet decide whether you are a genius for thinking of this, or a horrible, horrible person. Possibly a little of both. It would be like ultimate mindfuck times all the time.

I can't much remember the movie, but I remember loving the book! I was ten when I read it, but it was fun!

Haha yeah, but if they could get over the religion thing, I don't know. They might ... . .. actually scratch that, I really don't know. But I'd hit that read it.

You were... ten when you read Mists of Avalon? ... I think I was still getting over (failing to get over in any way) Animorphs at that age. Wasn't introduced to Mists until maybe tenth grade. ... There is no fandom.

MOST BELATED COMMENT EVER.

I was either ten or eleven. My aunt gave it to me, and I didn't understand a lot of it and I think I skimmed some sections of it, but I did read it all the way through. I was a super advanced reader I guess. I'm making up for it now with all the YA and comics I read.

If it helps at all I can remember hardly anything about the book now other than 1. I loved it 2. threesomes 3. incest.
