Please please please look at my old shitty unfinished art and tell me I exist
–SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES S3– Continuing on my Magnus Archives obsession, here’s a S3 Daisy for tonight’s cooldown. Slowly getting back into the swing of drawing for myself again!
I cannot believe you left out ‘maybe were not so different after oh wait we are jesus christ’
best google doc titles from me and @gringolet‘s long long history of writing together
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
Hello! I did a thing for Nova and Mali's "Classics...but make it gay" art book! The pre-orders are closed at the moment but I think they'll reopen again in winter/fall so please keep an eye on their twitter page if you'll like a copy! Everyone in it is amazing and I am very thankful for being accepted for the project! I did a reinterpretation of Leighton's "God Speed" because I just want an excuse to paint two knights staring lovingly at each other haha > <
sir gawain and the green knight but it’s buzzfeed unsolved and its narrated by side character knights
Ahhhh today is Ysabele day!!! shes a really interesting character and im hyped to talk about her. I recommend this article (mentioned above) which discusses the proto-racist portrayal of India in the Roman van Walewein.
my reason for loving ysabele comes down to: she does actual literal murder and the text finds no problem with this. i think that is hilarious
this was written by me but with help from @pendraegon and @gringolet!!
