The most important knowledge that I gained from this is that Dael lives a life where you need a constant supply of party poppers and I feel like I am not living my life right because I don't
I kinda want to make a green knight NPC now: a high level knight that goes around making fun of people, insulting and challenging them to absurd challenges for chuckles.
Sounds to me like the Gawain-poet did not know how to make overland-travel interesting. "You're going where?!!" "No, it's fine. totally prepared for that, let me just roll... Aaaand you get attacked by two giant Snakes, a direboar, three bandits and a hillgiant - well of course it makes sense in the lore..."
I don't see why he didn't tell "The Lady" about the deal on the first night, say he was going to ask Bertilak because communication is key, then just ask Bertilak on night 1 if he could get down with his wife. He would have been able to sleep with "The Lady" during the day, and The Lord at night. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! I mean, come on Gawain, the dude was clearly into you and just constructing elaborate rituals so he could kiss you. To paraphrase Elanor Shellstrop: ‘Why not? More guys should be bi, it’s [2020], it’s like “get over yourselves”.’
@@MonarchsFactory I have not heard the name of that animal since I was reading Redwall. Brings back memories. And it is about as terrifying as I imagined haha. Sending you and Australia my best wishes for the bushfires. Let us know if there's anything we can do.
There is a 1969 film titled "Sword of the Valiant," which VERY loosely adapts this story. Its not a good movie, but it stars Sean Connery as the Green Knight, wearing an outfit with a circle cut out of it to reveal his chest hair. And frankly thats almost worth the price of admission. Thanks for the story Dael! Happy new year!
Frat Bros makes sense with the knights throwing parties and getting shmammered, bro insults, and throwing in some 'no homo' homoerotic make outs? It's college varsity all over again.
I love how Morgana’s original plan was “well, I would like to spook Guinevere. Maybe she’ll die if she gets too freaked out by my Green Knight and his missing his head act!” And that maybe Arthur breaking the ice after he leaves with some laugher may have saved her?
Hey Thom. I've got a friend who's been happening into a lot of Green Knight-related encounters lately; would love to hear why this tale is your favourite, and what the story means to you.
when I first heard the story, I thought it was just Gawain's family getting tired of him being a bachelor and decided to elaborately hook him up with their friends in the countryside who are a swinger couple and saw Gawain at a bar once and really liked the energy he was giving off. but the actual story and the film's portrayal of it is also good lol
The smooch to Bertilak also gave me Sir Ulricht vibes. "Did she give you anything for me in return? A token, perhaps?" I stumbled onto your channel for dnd content, but have been binging these stories all morning. You are an awesome story teller and so funny! I appreciated the holy (k)night joke too! 🤣
Nice! The other day I thought to myself it would be cool to have a Green Knight character in my StarWars campaign, and voila, here's the "sign" to do so..... I didn't realize it was a New Year tale or a holiday tale at all. Been sometime since I've read,heard, or watched it. My subconscious must have remembered it was associated with New Years, and hence why the thought came to me.
Great vid. I remember learning about this tale in 1987 in my Literature class from a Cambridge grad teacher. What a story. Always reminds me to be as honest, kind, noble and truthful as you can. I'm glad Sir Galahad eventually proved equal to the knightly requirements. Gawain did as best he could.
Awesome rendition! I read this way back in the late 70s and this brought me back, to a class called Arthurian Legends which I took at Wellesley while a student at MIT. A+ for your modern interpretation!
I've been catching up with Critical Role's campaigns for a couple years now and watch bits and pieces of various D&D content when you popped into my feed last week. I greatly enjoy your way of storytelling and enjoyed this video.
This is hilarious! You are an amazing storyteller! And the way you impersonate dialogue! Thank you for those. Please, Dael, make more mythology videos (and especially from the knights of the circular countertop)!
that could have been a Halsey song... everything is green, his hair, his eyes, his boots were green, and the saddle and the bridle and the horse were green... it's all greeeeeen... hahaha
It's pretty nerve wracking, isn't it. We brought the grandparents up over New Year to be safe, and Nanna's coming up from North Nowra, Grandma from West Nowra today and over the weekend. Just sad thinking of my hometown burning. :(
OMGs... KNIGHT OF THE CIRCULAR COUNTERTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am dead. I call that line the Messiah as it killed me and brought me back with a 3 day guarantee!
Yo listen up, here's the story about a giant guy that lives in a green world, and all day and all night and everything he sees is just green like him, inside and outside.
The most important knowledge that I gained from this is that Dael lives a life where you need a constant supply of party poppers and I feel like I am not living my life right because I don't
Everyone needs 24/7 access to party poppers!
I always have some of that cheap plastic pirates gold in my backpack, guess I'm adding party poppers too :P
Any time Dael says the phrase "itty bitty waist" I can't help but think "and that round thing in your face you get SPRUNG."
Betta roll up that tongue.
I'M SORRY LEVI DID I JUST FIND YOU IN THE WILD!?!?!?!?
@@spellhaus Woah! Fancy seeing you here.
Sithen a ladie fayre graythez with wast worthily smale and thing both rounde and gret, SPRUNGGEN I lach
"Because you betrayed me for your own survival and not to sleep with my hot wife" might be one of my favourite lines ever.
I kinda want to make a green knight NPC now: a high level knight that goes around making fun of people, insulting and challenging them to absurd challenges for chuckles.
This is a bit of a trope in Arthurian myth; lots of freewheeling/disguised knights talking smack and 'testing each others virtue'
Dnd 5e You have the Oath of the Ancient Paladins which are known as green knights.
Fey patron hexblade for sure
This honestly sound pretty close to what knights did in their spare time anyways.
They weren't exactly stick-in-the-mud puritans we think of today.
'testing each other's virtue' is that what the kids were callin it in those days
Bertilak's wife is the ultimate wingman. She was gonna bone this dude just so her husband could get some too. Seriously, relationship goals.
She was the carrot, he was the stick ;)))
Sounds to me like the Gawain-poet did not know how to make overland-travel interesting. "You're going where?!!" "No, it's fine. totally prepared for that, let me just roll... Aaaand you get attacked by two giant Snakes, a direboar, three bandits and a hillgiant - well of course it makes sense in the lore..."
How to play an Oath of the Ancients Paladin everyone. Though you may have to take a level of Bard to get vicious mockery.
Magic Initiate?
This video is gonna get so much more views when that movie starring Dev Patel releases soon
It's why I've returned
I don't see why he didn't tell "The Lady" about the deal on the first night, say he was going to ask Bertilak because communication is key, then just ask Bertilak on night 1 if he could get down with his wife. He would have been able to sleep with "The Lady" during the day, and The Lord at night. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

More guys should be bi, it’s [2020], it’s like “get over yourselves”.’
But the Gawain poem was not written in 2020, or even 1920.
I mean, it really depends on what calendar you're using. And if you believe in a linear flow of time.
@@michaelsommers2356 Also, I'm pretty sure being bi wasn't a big deal until like, the 17-1800s.
@@drekfletch You must have missed the dark ages...
Ah the sass in this video. I love it. Beautifully told. Lovely stor--- OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THE GENTLEMAN???? o.O
I think technically he's a stoat?
@@MonarchsFactory I have not heard the name of that animal since I was reading Redwall. Brings back memories. And it is about as terrifying as I imagined haha.

Sleeping in your armor imparts a level of exhaustion.
There is a 1969 film titled "Sword of the Valiant," which VERY loosely adapts this story. Its not a good movie, but it stars Sean Connery as the Green Knight, wearing an outfit with a circle cut out of it to reveal his chest hair. And frankly thats almost worth the price of admission.

Don't forget all the glitter in said chest hair!!
That was the first time i heard about the story!
It came out in '84. And yeah, I wouldn't call it "great," but it's great fun. :)
Frat Bros makes sense with the knights throwing parties and getting shmammered, bro insults, and throwing in some 'no homo' homoerotic make outs?
It's college varsity all over again.
This tale is bless'd with the chaotic bi magicks.
My favourite kind of magicks.
I love how Morgana’s original plan was “well, I would like to spook Guinevere. Maybe she’ll die if she gets too freaked out by my Green Knight and his missing his head act!” And that maybe Arthur breaking the ice after he leaves with some laugher may have saved her?
How did I not realize I was bi until my late teens- this was one of my favorite stories growing up, and I think this may have been a clue.
Two disaster gays just smoochin it up being all like "Oh no it's the oath, we gotta do it cause of the oath". I see you, Gawain & Bertilak.
Poet: "I'm not sure I can do these fight scenes justice."
Teacher: "Just write what you know."
Poet: "Slaughtering pigs and Green."
that awkward moment when you decapitate someone, they walk away as if nothing happened and everybody around you just laughs. Happens all the time.
Green Knight straight up gets decapitated and he be like:
*"Tis but a scratch"*
"It's only a flesh wound" is a punchline that will never die.
what if 😳... we kissed 😘🔥 when you returned from the hunt 🦌🛡🤭 ... and we were both knights 😱🪓🤴🏾🧝🏽
Of course I don't WANT to kiss you! Unless...
@@digitalbrentable ...No...that's crazy...lol...unless...
This is my favourite Arthurian myth, thank you so much for retelling it in your signature way 😊
Hey Thom. I've got a friend who's been happening into a lot of Green Knight-related encounters lately; would love to hear why this tale is your favourite, and what the story means to you.
Gawain, was from Orkney. Us Orkney boys are great at parties, we make our own fun as there isn't another option.
“Pinkie swear?”
“Pinkie swear, bro!”
😂😂
this has always been a favorite story of mine and this was an inspired retelling. “vorpal blade, snickersnack”
Arthurian Mythology is just ridiculous, I love it
when I first heard the story, I thought it was just Gawain's family getting tired of him being a bachelor and decided to elaborately hook him up with their friends in the countryside who are a swinger couple and saw Gawain at a bar once and really liked the energy he was giving off. but the actual story and the film's portrayal of it is also good lol
I heard that Reel Big Fish reference. You can throw it away but I will catch it.
Yeeeeeea, I knew there had to be at least one out there!
@@MonarchsFactory yep, great song
Surprisingly wholesome of the Knights to all wear green belts so their homie didn't have to stand out. Real wholesome frat bros.
The smooch to Bertilak also gave me Sir Ulricht vibes. "Did she give you anything for me in return? A token, perhaps?"
I stumbled onto your channel for dnd content, but have been binging these stories all morning. You are an awesome story teller and so funny! I appreciated the holy (k)night joke too! 🤣
I needed this 2 AM New Year's Dael Kingsmill video far more than I thought I did
I can't believe I put off watching this for so long! My favorite story of yours to date.
“It’s only a flesh wound!”
Definitely one of my favourites. I was just telling this story to someone today.
Gawain didn't notice the castle because it was just a model.
(Nice to see the drawings again.)
This is just one more of Gawain's stories to explain where he's been on a night out. "I swear, Lord, it was Morgana!" I'm not buying it, Sir!
"It's Loki's fault!"
Nice! The other day I thought to myself it would be cool to have a Green Knight character in my StarWars campaign, and voila, here's the "sign" to do so..... I didn't realize it was a New Year tale or a holiday tale at all. Been sometime since I've read,heard, or watched it. My subconscious must have remembered it was associated with New Years, and hence why the thought came to me.
I absolutely love your infusion of Jabberwocky and A Christmas Carol. ❤
Ok but now we need a video with the Gentleman as the narrator
That moment when you go looking for ideas for your Oath of the Ancients Paladin and find Dael Kingsmill.
19:00 Aw yeah, A Knight's Tale reference. I love that movie so much
Great vid. I remember learning about this tale in 1987 in my Literature class from a Cambridge grad teacher. What a story. Always reminds me to be as honest, kind, noble and truthful as you can. I'm glad Sir Galahad eventually proved equal to the knightly requirements. Gawain did as best he could.
I've just watched an hour of Dael telling old stories. She's that good.
I'm disappointed, Dael. Two mentions of an itty bitty waist and nothing about a round thing in anyone's face. Missed opportunity.
I'm a FOOL! I was in such a singing mood too!
I read and discussed this story for my British literature class but still watched the entire video because I love listening to your stories
Came to re-watch this after seeing the movie and my god, The Gentleman hits different now.
My favorite character was the gentleman at the end. What a dude.
6:49 “A giant with an itty bitty waist and a big axe in your face”
Definitely my favorite telling of this tale!
like a dorito. so johnny bravo shaped then?
Holy Knight and the RBF Drunk Again earned my like. Exquisite taste, truly the most refined of palates.
Here because of the new trailer(DAMN!) Great retelling!!
I love your energy. Clicked on this for the story i love, stayed for your presentation.
Reel Big Fish quotes had me surprised.
this is great. My Podcast celebrates January as Gawain Month so seeing you put up this video so I could reblog it made my day.
Came here immediately after seeing the trailer for the new Green Knight movie
It sounds like they were just looking at a big plant.
Oh my word, 'holy night for this holy knight' had me in actual tears and pause the video. Your pun game is strong.
Just here to repeat to repeat my assertion that Dael is a bloody good egg.
If cats have nightmares about their equivalent of a boogie man, it looks like that thing you showed us at the end.
Thanks for helping the movie make more sense
Had to come back to this after watching the Green Knight trailer
Aaaah Reel Big Fish, Drunk Again!
I JUST saw the trailer. And I had to find out MOAR!!!. Thank you for the info!
Awesome rendition! I read this way back in the late 70s and this brought me back, to a class called Arthurian Legends which I took at Wellesley while a student at MIT.
A+ for your modern interpretation!
I love The Gentleman. So very, very much. He is awesome
🎵🎶It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie enchanted green belt chainmail bikini,
That he wore against the Green Knight today.🎶🎵
Hope you had good holidays yourself, Dael - and also hoping that you and yours are safe with all the flaminess Down Under...
I love MonarchsFactory, I think it'd be awesome for her to be a guest at a comic con or cosplay con.
Damn this video is really good. Your channel deserves more views. Well done.
It was the holy knight joke that made me subscribe, not gonna lie
I've been catching up with Critical Role's campaigns for a couple years now and watch bits and pieces of various D&D content when you popped into my feed last week. I greatly enjoy your way of storytelling and enjoyed this video.
The Warhammer's Green Knight mini is sweet.
Off, with your head for all of you who, like me, came back to this video after they watched The Green Knight movie xD
You’re the best storyteller ever!!! 😍😍😍
This is hilarious!
You are an amazing storyteller! And the way you impersonate dialogue!
Thank you for those. Please, Dael, make more mythology videos (and especially from the knights of the circular countertop)!
Bruh I’m learning more from RUclips than from my professors thank you you adorable gatekeeper of knowledge
that could have been a Halsey song... everything is green, his hair, his eyes, his boots were green, and the saddle and the bridle and the horse were green... it's all greeeeeen... hahaha
I love you! I love your stories! You make life better for so many people!
I... Legit teared up a little reading this
You deserve it. Ive been listening to you for a year and ive got to say you have a talent for story telling. Peace and all the loves
I’m here because of the green knight trailer. It’s a dope story and I wanted to learn more about it.
you are awesome in telling stories...
8:00 is the most hole-some thing I've ever seen on this channel
hey Dael, hope you and yours are safe from the fires. Nowra is quite smokie. thanks for the awesome video as always,
It's pretty nerve wracking, isn't it. We brought the grandparents up over New Year to be safe, and Nanna's coming up from North Nowra, Grandma from West Nowra today and over the weekend. Just sad thinking of my hometown burning. :(
@@MonarchsFactory im in currarong, looks like it is going to miss us out here. But the cars packed, all the esentials including my mtg cards.
@@iwillalwasecomelast Glad to hear you're prepared -- stay safe this weekend!
Fun fact, in olden times "green", as all colors did, meant brown and/or red. Early in the Second Sepia Age.
Thank you so much Dael. You made this story so much easier to process. You got yourself an extra subscriber in me
I love your retellings so much xD
Revisiting this video in preparation for the Green Knight movie.
Just watched the movie.
1. This was better.
2. The movie would have made absolutely no sense if I hadn't seen this first.
OMGs... KNIGHT OF THE CIRCULAR COUNTERTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am dead. I call that line the Messiah as it killed me and brought me back with a 3 day guarantee!
Here from the latest Dev Patel movie trailer... thanks for explaining the story
Oh my god, Reel Big Fish!
Yo listen up, here's the story about a giant guy that lives in a green world, and all day and all night and everything he sees is just green like him, inside and outside.
Big fan of a good A Knights Tale reference
I just saw they have a movie about the Green Night coming out soon. It looks great!!
Yeah, the trailer looks awesome!
Dael, you have such a light... 🌝
your little awkward dance after the holy knight joke was cute as heck
Moral: Don't cheat, unless..you are the protagonist and/or what you're doing is really hard.
Nice job! My son is named Gawain. He's my favorite knight.
A great story told by a gifted storyteller.
