nothing will change your perspective on a character like someone who is batshit obsessed with them

how i feel when someone convinces me a character is so awesome by constantly talking about them and i find a new found appreciation for that character and i would have never come to that realization without them

[id: a small little character sitting down. it's turned its head around, looking up at something with big eyes and upturned eyebrowns. end id]

happy trans day of visibility to sir mordred of orkney, arthur's bane and destroyer of camelot

my thing i haven’t made is so good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

April Arthurian Showers!

A fanart fanfic fan creations challenge for the month of April! This is going to be a bit different from other challenges so make sure to read the instructions!

(I'll type them out below the cut <3)

So that's a lot of prompts! Good news is you don't need to do all of them (in fact i would encourage you not to do all of them unless you really want to).

This event is organized into four weeks (plus two free spaces) where each day has a prompt that goes with the theme! Instead of trying to do every single prompt, try doing at least one per week, or just doing all the ones that you like!

While each prompt corresponds to a day, feel free to post whenever, just say what day and prompt you're doing.

Additional rules:

I made an ao3 collection for this, so if anyone wants to post their writing/art/what have you to that it'll be here!!!

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/april_arthurian_showers

Or you can add a fic to it by typing 'april_arthurian_showers' in the collection box when creating or editing a fic!

Since I'm doing trucking through refining Gawain (big job), I realised that for basically the first act of KAMD I have most of the main cast for the 1st act drafted out, so I figured out of curiousity I'd open the floor to see if there was consensus on who I should try to draw next ^__^

KAMD cast line up so far for comparison ^

Congratulations to our poll winner Percival, who managed to take victory despite all odds. His campaign manager must be very pleased. Congratulations also to our poll runner up Kay for a close fight! We'll aim to see them both again sometime soon. Thank you all for voting, its been fun to watch ^_^

MAYDRED 2025: Long Live the Kingslayer!

Join me in celebrating our favorite traitor and ursurper, Sir Mordred in his BIGGEST birthday bash yet!

The concept is to celebrate Mordred and the different aspects of his character althroughout the stages of his life. His birth, youth and prime, his relationships with his kin, and his downfall at the battle at Camlann. The last prompt is a Free Day, so you have free reign to do whatever you want so long as it's about Mordred!

I know thee now, Mordred! My son! My very son! The child of Youth and Doom, sent to me from the past with life's young glory in thy wilful eyes and in thine hand, stark death! —Mordred: A Tragedy by Henry Newbolt

The youngest brother was named Mordred. He was greater in stature than any of the others and the worst knight; although he had great strength and was more inclined to do evil than good, he nevertheless delivered many fine blows. —Vulgate, Lancelot IV

Well, Mordred, go thy way. Thou'rt a bold spirit: if the rest of us could match the sanguine color of thy thoughts, perchance too we might come to govern kings, and do the thing we would.—Mordred: A Tragedy by Henry Newbolt

This traitor allowed a tear to trickle down his cheeks. Then he turned around and said no more but went away weeping, cursing the day that destiny that dealt him such a blow. —Alliterative Morte Arthure

Thus did the father kill the son, and the son mortally wounded the father. —Vulgate, Death of Arthur

"Arthur should have more dread of me than I of him." — Mordred Manuscript by Norris J. Lacy
