Beginning-writer - Don't Know What Type, But I Write Something.

The last show I watched (Rewatched acutally) was Cursed... This takes place in a war-

Me: spending time looking at references on Pinterest

My brain: We want to see Lancelot in this

Me: But what about the other hundreds of unfinished drawings?

My brain: Now!

Me: Okay, okay, Fine! I'll do it now!

Just a poor drawing, without a face or a hand, and disproportionate. But enough for today.

@lancedoncrimsonwings

Me when I come up with an awesome scenario for my Cursed Lancewain fic that combines a FUCKING AWESOME foreshadowing for my planned ending and has major plot points from two separate character's arcs and also happens to bring in two other stories from various Arthurian lore, as well as adding extra lore and shiny things to said planned ending too;

Also me when I remember not only do I have to write all that but none of this will even happen for FUCKING AGES UGH FML;

... 'cause uhhhhhhhh it really may be worth mentioning I'm STILL editing Chapter 2 and uh. I don't even know where this all fits in but it ain't gonna be till Part 7 AND. Well. I may have like 15-25 chapters planned for each Part so far. Whoops.

I survived the day with four hours of sleep, a bottle of water, two cookies, a piece of cake and a piece of meat. Ps: No lunch or breakfast.

How am I alive these days after New Year's? Only the gods know.

Made a design for the Lady of the Lake cuz she was a minor character in my fanfic but then got attached to her so here’s a bunch of doodles.

📍Church of the Gesù, Rome

The Church of the Gesù, constructed between 1568 and 1584, is considered one of the finest examples of Roman Baroque architecture.

FINALLY I HAVE TIME TO ANSWER! Sorry i toke three days to answer, i would have answered you yesterday but now i have school on saturday too 😭

Anyways. Damn right i do, lots of them actually 'cause i think about them having tattoos way more than it's considered normal.

1. The Tattoo Stile

I thought of the water color style (at least i think it's called like that, Please correct me If I'm wrong) and for that i have the only and simple reason of: IT FUCKING LOOKS LIKE FIRE SMOKE.

This is the style (open to better quality image):

It's a really short topic really, but since it's short i'm gonna add the place and the reason why i think it should be there.

1.2 The place and the reason.

I also thought that Lancelot would do a tattoo on his back, and i have a good reason for that one.

Hear me out, Lancelot's back is absolutely destroied, and i'm not exagerating, it is for a fact. His back is full of wip scars, and they all very much irregular and painful to look at, so i belive that he having a tattoo on his back is something as a tentative of making it pretty and less painfull or saying like "I survived, and i turned my scars and pain into something beautyfull again."

And come on, back tattoos are sexy and hot as fuck.

My head canon cause i really wanna talk about it.

So, me and my friend, who i unfortunely have also turned into a lancewain fan and i made him watch cursed so he could understand me, created a au where Lancelot's folk came from actual dragons.

In this au the ash folk have horns, wings and a tail, but Lancelot doesn't have these 'cause the red paladins cut it all out to make him look more human. Since i created it i thought "dragon tattoo on the back, dragon tattoo on the back, dragon tattoo on the back" (i promise to turn this into another fic when i finish the first one)

The design is basicaly this:

Your headcanons

Well, enough with my stories, let's talk on yours. Here i have three ideas but i didn't found my inspiration design online so i have to actually drawn them. It will take a while, so i'm just doing another post later.

I remember two very specifc things about your Lancelot.

Snakes

He's favourite season is autumn

i didn't found the fire or autumn inspiration desing, so i'll post them later, when i jave them drawned down, but i did fund the snake ones! I didn't found one good enough to his back tough (i mean i did found ONE good enough), but that's alright, let's just use his thights.

I mean, damn man he have some really good thights! Plus we need more man with tattos in "womanly" places.

There's also in some other places, and yes they all black, why? Cause he's an Ashman. Black and red are his colors. Blue to, but that's for the fire tattoo.

Well, even it i can't find the design i wanted, i still gonna explain it to you.

1.2 fey fire

I did thought about a fey fire tattoo, like, uh do i explain it... in my vision, it's still the watercolor stile, but blue and green water. It'd start on his fingers and go all way up to half of his forearm.

There's the back and hip saxy version where it beings on his back (same colors) and spread along it to his shoulder blades and then down his hips, plus, it could also come to his nape and collar bone. It'd make his back look like the scars are just on fire and give him a damn sexy look.

1.3 Autumn leaves

This actually is nothing that big, but i thought, this is a Lancelot and Gawain tatto, and they propably act like two idiots in love. Lancelot is a romantic man, maybe he would do it.

I don't remeber the name of the plants that apear in the skyfolk cheeks, but you know what i am talking about.

The Autumn leaves tattoo is basically this plant faling down Lancelot's shoulders and back, and chest if you want to.

I think that's it all, sorry for leaving you waiting Tavo, i would have loved answering this earlier, BUT CELLPHONES ARE BANNED FROM SCHOOLS IN MY COUNTRY. Sorry I'm still mad at this stupid new law.

@lancedoncrimsonwings

Kinda wanna write a "Lancelot and Gawain get a tattoo" thing. And of course I wanna draw the designs they'd get.

But now I need to actually decide what they'd get. I feel like Gawain's would be a stag in a linework heavy intricate Celtic knotwork inspired design...

What the heck would Lancelot's be?!

@beginning-writer I feel like you'll have ideas halp

i think. medieval authors should have given lancelot a cat. other characters have fun little pets like there’s gringolet and gawains dogs and yvains lion. why doesn’t he get a fun little animal

anyways i think hed have one of these

How extra am I?

Well I got bored at work so I decided to use a UK map to plot out locations from Cursed based off what little of their maps we do see so I could do reasonable travel distances and scenery etc...

(I then found a whole host of continuity errors in terms of distance and their maps are wildly inaccurate as per the time period BUT what I've done at least works for the most part)

Here Dewdenn is likely at the base of the River Severn, so a touch North of where I placed it, because I decided Yvoire Abbey needed to be right by the river (since Nimue boated out) and Hawksbridge should be at a port, yet the journey needs to be feasible in a day, whilst Gramaire and the Encampments needed a forest, open plains, and to be near enough to Hawksbridge and Dewdenn as travel between would take no more than 1-2 days)

(Red line at the bottom of that pic = 20 miles)

Sooo Dewdenn is now a little further South 20 miles from Gramaire and Yvoire Abbey, and Hawksbridge is 15 miles or so from Yvoire Abbey (wanted it to be closer but alas)

The Minotaur Mountains are now the Pennines, as it's the only ridge of mountains across the center that really works, and Nemos is in the base of the Pennines in Sherwood Forest, whilst Moycraig- the last farm supplying Nemos- is 5ish miles outside Sherwood Forest.

Beggar's Coast was definitely filmed on the south coast, and makes sense for a nickname for the English Channel, so I chose the closest viable point for the battlesite at the end of Cursed/King Uther's ships. It would have taken at least 2 days to get there from Gramaire, but both the book and series are loose on how long it actually took, soooo this will have to do.

Since the Paladins were "from the south", needed easy access to the English Channel to be able to travel to Rome (Likely via France), and Dorset was featured so heavily on their map, I've chosen that as their "main" base, though I plan to add Red Paladin Encampments, Human towns and cities and Fey Villages throughout.

Now to add their journey by Chapter because I am a fucking ass who can't visualise and needs to be able to see it to make sense of it!

If you read all this, you're a legend- or very bored. Or both. (Probably both after this)
