women in fiction should kill people more
(credit to Rey for the very good words)
i produce content that is relatable to no one and makes no ones life better
But it all feels so much bigger than/ Some blame-filled, lonely break up/ Like all our narratives and mortality only distill to/ Oh my gd, we’re gonna die - “Archive” by Mal Blum
ID: A digital illustration of characters from The Magnus Archives, interspersed with song lyrics. Some are already dead (Gertrude, Sasha, Tim) while others are in danger (Martin, Basira, Daisy, Jon). The lyrics read “Oh my gd we’re gonna die/ We’re gonna die and it’s gonna be alone/ And no one will find the things we left behind/ Because/ Because we/ Because we never thought to leave a fucking archive.” At the bottom of the image is a pile of cassette tapes.

Oh! Also! Lest it get overshadowed by the transphobia-- it's time to bring up the fact that in wilder culture, being interested in king Arthur is a frequently a red flag for being a racist (not so much in teenagers, I'm talking about adults). Although online that is thankfully not the case anywhere near as much, we should not ignore racism in this fandom. Fans of colour have repeatedly criticized certain trends and elements of the literature and fandom, including but not certainly not limited to th White's influence, and been repeatedly talked over. They have done critical, interesting analysis of racism in medieval literature and been dismissed as starting discourse instead of doing great meta at an academic level. Theyve been harassed for character designs (dont have receipts on that one but multiple ppl have told me about it). And if you think this fandom is safe from white nationalists, ppl have gotten anons accusing them of ruining arthuriana as a symbol of "western society," as well as repeated dismissals of colonialism and the existence of racism in med lit. If, like me, you're white, then please be aware of the white nationalist associations of the genre and listen to fans and creators of colour within it!!! They are not "starting discourse," they are making incredible content and doing really awesome analysis and deserve to be heard and anyone who doesnt like it can fuck right off
And our love is a monster, plain and simple Though you weigh it down with stones to try to drown it, It floats
i think the evil cursed sword is pretty cool
