Evaine is so lonely Arthur keeps them company when he can. They are so lonely because they are either envied or scorned.

They are the Round Table Knight that is most gossiped about - mostly in a negative light.

And if your MC pursues their route, they will either need to be extremely careful and hide their affection, or people will talk even more.

The Whumps of March 2024: "Fairies"

A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.

It was not enough that Queen Elaine of Benoic had lost her husband and her kingdom in one night. Somehow, she didn't even know how, her baby had disappeared as well.

She had put him down to try and revive her husband. She had failed, and when she came back...she had only gone a few feet away. She couldn't have lost him, and she couldn't have failed to hear someone come up and take him—even a fox couldn't have been so stealthy. But as much as she looked, tearing through the foliage and screaming in panic, she found not a single thread of his blanket, nothing but an indentation in the grass where she had left him.

She wept all night, and many more besides.

A year later, as she was living in a covenant with her sister Evaine—also widowed and bereft of her own sons—they saw it.

A vision. Not a dream, no, they were awake, and this was real, as real as magic or love or despair. They saw their boys—not babies but boys now, approaching manhood, laughing and playing with sticks as toy swords. She recognized the shape of Ban's face and her own nose, the features blending beautifully in their handsome child.

She reached out to touch him, but the whole image disappeared.

For a long moment, neither spoke. Evaine was the first to start crying.

"The fairies have taken them," she whispered, her face pale, a stream of tears running down her cheek.

Elaine didn't answer, just stood there, frozen with her hand out to touch her illusionary son.

Who could understand what fairies did? Why had they taken these children? And why send this vision, all these months later? 

Perhaps it was meant to be reassuring. To tell the sisters that their sons were alright, living happy and strong in some fairy paradise. 

Maybe. But to Elaine, it felt more like the fairies were just twisting the knife.

hey kal!! want to start pff this by saying that im a big fan and i love your work. i was curious if you were aware of the discussion around giving poc unnatural eye and hair colors in fantasy settings. basically one of the criticisms most (particularly white) writers get with fantasy settings is giving poc different eye colors for no reason other than for it to look cool or make them seem different (while they don't always feel the need to do that with their white characters, this suggests that poc have to be made to look different to be cool, desirable or special, stuff like that) of course it's possible for poc to have any eye and hair color but it's also rare for there to just be good rep that looks like most people do. because good rep is already so rare especially in fantasy i think that it's a good idea to give underrepresented people characters they can see themselve in. i noticed it first with tkh especially with evaine and then noticed it again yesterday with rascia. just something to maybe keep an eye out for and have a conversation about.

Hi, dear! I think it's fair for you to bring this up and since I have too recently been reflecting on this I will share my thoughts on the matter.

Actually, I too saw the discussion about poc characters with unnatural eye/hair colors, and I have skimmed through some of the comments under one particular post that was addressing this. I wholeheartedly agree that there is a real issue that needs to be considered, and while some people explained the reasoning behind some of the characters taken as an example being not that problematic, the point still stands.

For my characters, I feel like Rascia is a separate case, if only because of the universe they live in. Most of their fellow kaehans share a similar skin tone as them (that is, coral, dark red or lighter red), while the hair and eye color vary from yellow to blue to green. In general, characters in TCO have predominantly unnatural hair/eye/skin colors, as does the MC themself (most of the choices are unnatural colors).

This is why I don't find Rascia problematic, though it should be noted that my perspective is that of a white person who grew up and is living in a predominantly white country. So if anyone has any kind of motivated criticism about them I will gladly hear and reflect on that.

Now, about Evaine. I'm going to agree with you that Evaine's character does indeed have unnatural eye color and eye color. And while they live in a somehow fantasy world, this argument does not completely justify them like it does Rascia because in the TKH universe there is a lot more realism in terms of appearance.

But also: I myself have been thinking over this for a while, and you're giving me the perfect opportunity to bring this up. In particular, I feel like Evaine's hair texture should be changed. (You might have seen that I've removed their hair texture from their description a wile back)

Evaine's (and Gwyar's as well) eye color may be in my opinion justified by the universe and the fact that unnatural eye colors are pretty common. Their hair is another matter, though. As a person with straight hair, sometimes I fall into the implicit assumption that my characters too reflect that while writing or coming up with ch. designs.

I'd like to say that I've been educating myself more and more since creating Evaine's character, especially about cultures and ethnicities different than my own. Lately I've been reflecting on this and I've come to the conclusion that Evaine's hair should be coily and maybe a bit darker (like dark auburn or dark brown).

I have postponed a definitive decision because I feel bad for changing things halfway but I also feel it's important to aknowledge our previous doings/mistakes and right them if it's possible.

Sometimed unsticking a plot point is like “ah-ha! This Guy Needs To Die” and sometimes it’s like “ah-ha! This Guy Needs To Live But Be Real Fucked Up About It.”

I'm adoring the Ping universe, it's incredible! I love all the extra details, too, so thank you for sating all our curiosity! So... Can I beg for more details about Evaine's abilities? Are they lights under her skin? I don't think she had any shape shifting, just light and colour? Thank you so very much, lovely Violet!

The ability to create and manipulate the visible light spectrum! She could light up her own body and create separate lights around her as well

Theoretically, she could have developed it into a full illusory power, but she never tried. Evaine never wanted to be anything other than an average person, and was happy to just entertain babies with colorful mobiles

window shopping - radiance series

On AO3

Leth halts in the bedroom door at the sight of their bed covered in clothes. Clothes he knows they didn’t own this morning. Suspiciously familiar clothing.

“You said we were going window shopping.”

“No, I said I would take you window shopping,” comes Evain’s voice from above him. He leans forward and kisses behind Leth’s ear. “I made no promises to content myself with that.”

“That’s cheating,” Leth grouses.

Evain just hums, spinning him around. He smiles, eyes gleaming red.

“I’m sure I can make it up to you somehow, little Leth. Do you want me to try?”

Leth smiles.

Here are a few assertions they offer. “Lonely” is one of several dozen words Sidney introduced into the English language that Shakespeare later used. She provided patronage to Pembroke’s Men, one of the early companies to perform plays that were later attributed to Shakespeare. Sidney’s extensive library included many of Shakespeare’s sources, and she was familiar with pursuits as varied as falconry, alchemy and cooking, whose vocabulary Shakespeare drew on.

Shakespeare’s First Folio, published about seven years after his death, is dedicated to Sidney’s sons, William Herbert and Philip Herbert.

What would you say are the main "themes" or "tropes" for every route? (poly routes too, if possible)

Arthur: arranged marriage (duh), extreme devotion (on both sides), destined love

Evaine: pining (mutual or one sided at first - by Evaine), healing from past relationships (Evaine), dealing with rumors (about Evaine, about MC, about both)

Yniol: slow burn, mutual protectiveness,

Morien: annoyances (affectionate) to lovers, strangers to lovers, recovery

Gwyar: forced proximity, confidant to lover, partners in crime

POLYS

Arthur/Gwyar: power dynamics (you know who has the most power - gwyar), power throuple

Arthur/Evaine: fluff and comfort, found family, gossip (both done by the poly, and done to the poly)

Yniol/Morien: healing from trauma, slow burn, taking care of each other, pining

Morien/Gwyar: 2 menaces and 1 cinnamon roll (roles are not fixed), heated arguments (with happy endings)

Lil update of life -

{

-- got a new hi-fi system, a TEACusb for a good deal on eBay only 250 and brand new just doesn't have a lid

-- went to a TENNIS concert and to my pleasant surprise I had forgotten that Sam Evain was opener. a bit of a funny moment was I guess he had popped a new reed in for the sax before the show and the first note on set was dry af. crowd had a good chuckle.

[neil-gaiman]

Hello Mr Gaiman, hope you're well. A small Stardust question that I've not seen a definitive answer for and really I'll only accept it from the horses mouth. Did you invent the name Yvaine or is it actually an old Scottish name? Either way thank you for introducing me to my daughter's name.

Evaine is a name that turns up in the Arthurian romances. Yvaine as a spelling is probably mine.

#but it just as probably isnt
