Agravaine Preparing To Reveal Lancelot And Guineveres Affair, 532 Ce Colourized

wow leap year days are so weird right? blink and you miss it….

arthurian characters giving presentations on topics they are too familiar with

a series of shitty drawings I found while I was cleaning my room

Elaine (Carbonek): You Don’t Have to Name Your Daughter Elaine

Morgana and Morgause: Killing Your Little Brother Isn’t That Bad

Lancelot and Guinevere: Being Hot is Really Hard

Lamorak: Gawain’s Mom Has Got It Going On

Nimue/Lady of the Lake: Why Camelot is Doomed to Fail

Dinadan: Why Courtly Love Sucks

Arthur: Why Are So Many People in Love with Lancelot?

Gawain: The Reason Everyone in Camelot is Fucked Up

“He slid into the skin of a solitary Satan as though he had never enjoyed the flourish of language, the delights of civil power. It was war, now. Naked and bloody.”

- Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake

Yeah so according to @gawain-in-green this quote from Gormenghast is very unhinged-Gawain-core (I agree). I’m not very experienced at comics but I’m actually very into this one thank you for looking at it <333 gawain…. blood…. kissing…. archways… favorite things to draw

(btw if anyone ever wants requests for art or like. writing. please send in ask box i would die for you)

i know its easy to think about what the ideal arthurian tv show/film would look like but for me in terms of paper media i actually think a comic series would work best to capture the meta storytelling themes that are almost required for modern arthuriana. im thinking, like– there’s a bit in Young Avengers Vol. 2 where the villain grabs the narrator’s speech bubble off the page and eats it. there’s another moment where a character hops into the space between comic panels, and another where someone rifles through different versions of themselves and picks the one they want to be. and its all visually represented using the conventions of the comic genre, twisted them and warping them and turning them on their head. loki: agent of asgard does this as well and also sandman overture– i think all these stories that have to do with perception and reputation and living traditions as meta work really well in a medium that is, in my mind, perhaps one of the most fluid and versatile storytelling venues in existence. also i think gawain should be able to read the narration boxes and lancelot should be able to travel between panels and guinevere should be able to rewrite other characters dialogue

–lou like 5 months ago. its been haunting me ever since

Tag Yourself as Things the New Arthurian Encyclopedia Says About Gawain

a blind adherent to custom with frivolous attachments to the opposite sex

a hardened and unrepentant sinner

almost but not quite perfect

an out-and-out murderous villain

unimpeachably courteous

such a serviceable figure

by and large admirable

debased and debauched

neither a good foil nor a good hero

northern, possibly Scottish, 

im “unimpeachably courteous”

Nott headcanons

Although she doesn’t bathe often, Nott is actually surprisingly clean because she’s grown up as part of a race that cleans itself without the need of baths. She often subconsciously cleans herself as part of her nervous fidgeting - picking at her nails, her skin, her hair, cleaning her face. 

There’s nothing in her hair that wasn’t put there deliberately for safekeeping or as good luck charms.

She’s got this kind of pleasant musty, peaty smell about her, like autumn leaves.

Her eyes are big and round and slightly yellow, and they seemingly glow in the dark when near a light source because unlike humans, goblins have a tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer of cells just behind the retina which allow her to see better in the dark - aka, it’s what gives her dark vision. 

(The point above is also why I will not accept any headcanons that do not give goblins - or any races with darkvision for that matter - reflective eyes. It’s just more obvious for goblins because they have huge eyes which can reflect back a lot more light than those of e.g., dwarves or elves.)

She wears shoes, but has big, long toes and sharp nails that tear through socks and leather like butter. All her shoes have been modified to let her toes poke out because she wouldn’t be able to wear them otherwise.

She only wears shoes to blend in. She would much rather walk around on bare feet because goblin feet are very sensitive and give her a lot of information in regards to where she is, the people around her and movements (tremors), and give her added grip, balance and dexterity. 

She really likes the idea of wearing something more cute and fashionable, but doesn’t think she could ever pull it off. It’s something that is so very low on her priority list that she has convinced herself it’s completely unimportant, and it’s not something she even ever thinks about in her day-to-day life. Being inconspicuous is more important.

She sometimes casts message at other members of the M9 in the middle of the night when they’re in different rooms at an inn. It’s usually to ask some really weird or silly question and the other members of the M9 think they’re humouring her when they answer. Jester thinks she understands, because she thinks Nott gets lonely like her sometimes. Nobody understands the real reason Nott does it is because she wants to reassure herself they’re all still there and safe. 

Even though she’s eaten him twice, out of everyone in the M9 (outside of Caleb) Frumpkin will only listen to Nott. Not always, but still. She’s completely oblivious to this fact.

She’s considered casting message on Frumpkin because she’s curious if he’d be able to talk back…. but she’s too afraid of what he might have to say.

Sometimes, when she’s on watch and far enough away from everyone, she casts message up at the stars and talks to them as well. They were the first thing she had to guide her when she escaped from those dark, clammy caves where her clan lived, and sometimes they kind of feel like her oldest friends.
