Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

Oh Lancelot, loved by the king, loved by the queen

Another Arthuriana idea I had for a while. Guinevere design is much inspired by William de Leftwich Dodge illustration

my type is just gawain tbh - head of a norse-gael family that ends up getting involved in the british court and royally fucking it up forever more

#i just know he was thinking of Ireland when he insisted on everybody knowing about Lancelot and Guinevere #we were discussing dev patel as gawain for context #not that this provides context

The looks on Osferth and Sihtrics faces when Edward sits at their table is so funny to me. Like we know Osferth hates Edwards guts but this look from Sihtric?

U know they bitch about him constantly. They're having little gossip sessions at the back of the party on horseback. Sihtric is osferth's unliscenced therapist and all he says is "ugh ur so right, fuck that bitch" I can feel it in my soul

Alfred: Do you take constructive criticism?

Yea, for I was copying the Bible. And it came to pass that I wrote "gaudium", or joy, when the intended word was "gladium" or sword. And all of the other monks did mock me with cruel words and jests. And when I did recite the Scripture at dinner, I coughed, and Brother Abelard did ask if I had meant to say "gaudium". And on the way to the dormitories I did tell of my encounter with the fearsome black hen of Cheshire, and Brother William asketh of me why I had not slain it with my gladium. And so it came to pass that I took a vow of silence and ceased to speak with all worldly men. Amen.

so don’t get me wrong because a lot of arthurian stuff is super misogynistic. but it’s never really in the damsel in distress way you expect. like the most helpless damsel is lancelot trapped and crying in a tower, completely useless, until this random girl who made him behead a guy in front of her fifty pages ago rolls up with a pickax and rope and is like “ok I’m minecrafting you out of here.” and this works.

I love that every translation/adaptation I've ever encountered refuses to render "questing" in "questing beast" as "barking". Sure. Fine. That's what it *literally* means. But figuratively? Affectively? It simply does not work. The "barking beast" is when a squirrel goes by and my neighbor's terrier loses its goddamn mind. The "barking beast" does not have the gravitas to tantalize Palamedes for his whole career.
