did u know that while Guinevere is nearly always the wife & queen of King Arthur, her adulterous/courtly love affair with Lancelot is much, Much less universal?
there are even Lancelot-centric stories where he falls in love with someone else entirely and lives happily ever after with her.
Actually, let me tell you a little bit about the arthurian character Iblis/Sebile/Sibyl, especially in relationship to Lancelot, since it& #39;s relevant to speculation about Cursed& #39;s future storytelling choices
I& #39;m not a scholar(tm), i was just curious about non-gwen lancelot romances and down a wikipedia rabbithole after i watched cursed the week it premiered, lol

Anyway, Iblis/Sebile is an enchantress &/or fairy princess, sometimes villainous, sometimes heroic, often a known associate of Morgan le fey. She& #39;s also one of the several different characters sometimes given the title "Lady of the Lake."
Sebile& #39;s earliest appearance in arthurian mythos is in a 12th century lancelot-centric story where she is a fairy and the daughter of a sworn enemy of lancelot& #39;s foster parent (fosterling Lance is a pretty old trope but i digress).
She falls in love with him in a dream before meeting him in person. He kills her dad. He finds out his real identity. They experience angst & separation but he finds his way back to her. They marry, rule their combined lands, have 4 children, & die of old age on the same day.
Anyway, with what Cursed has already set up, there& #39;s an opportunity to combine the venerable Emo Religious Angst Monk lancelot tradition with the less well-known Husband Of Fairy Princess lancelot tradition. Idk if they will, but i& #39;m begging y& #39;all to free your minds from Mallory.
beautifully heartbreaking tragic end arthurian stories arent the only possibility; mega angst-with-a-happy-ending arthurian stories are possible! I mean, they& #39;re possible even without historical precedent, bc stories aren& #39;t the boss of us, but there IS precedent...
YOU& #39;RE WELCOME, NIMULOTS. Even if canon doesn& #39;t go there, our fic can

Iblis/Sebile is a very obscure arthurian character, BUT if you consider the possibility of cursed& #39;s nimue being a sort of composite of several different "lady of the lake" characters, rather than just the best-known traditional Nimue then, well...
