Happy Valentine's Day!! Have a little piece of my Big Bad, Aloysius Dragone, and his Queen, Eirian. They may be awful people, but they can at least take comfort in each other...You can read all about them at @vowcomic, which is my webcomic, The Vale of Wales :)

[vowcomic]

After several weeks of computer ups and downs, I'm proud to announce that The Vale of Wales is back in business!!! Enjoy!!!

Figures that my big comeback would feature these two disasters LOL!!

Afanc

Origin: Wales The Afanc is a lake monster, the description varies, from resembling a crocodile, beaver or dwarf-like creature. Accounts come from the 15th century.

The Mari Lwyd says, "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the Afanc bite."

[beastmode-daily]

Today's beast, the Afanc! While originally a lake monster, these were brought to the Americas, (for reasons unknown) where they found their niche in the everglades and other swampy regions.

Was watching Um, Actually's 'Monsters, Myths, and Folklore' episode, and surprised my boyfriend that I instantly knew about the Simurgh and where Afanc live. What's funny about all that is that I only know about them due to research for my Harry Potter fanfic.

Faebruary Day 10~Afanc

This was very interesting to draw. At first, I couldn’t decide if I wanted it to look more like a beaver or a crocodile. This is a little different than my initial idea, but I’m still glad on how it turned out.

Afanc is a water faerie that resembles a mix between a beaver and a crocodile. Be aware if you see this creature. If you get to close, it may drag you into the water and drown you.

me and some of my friends made a persona 5 au for our valorant ocs and I’m just. it’s so silly :3

(yes I got reminded abt this because of the post I just reblogged)

I was tempted to try and work in a futaba situation for my oc overture but it didn’t rlly work. so I just gave him his mom as a palace. but I really want to work in his fucked up perception of himself

there’s a jazz club in our au… Ryūji…

^ world’s jazziest star confidant

OH I NEED TO CLEAR THIS UP Ryūji ≠ Ryuji

Ryūji karasuno is. the star guy for this au

ryuji sakamoto is our little runner man. coincidentally they both have something up with their legs? Ryūji is an amputee (this was decided before that doodle of him sobbing on the floor I just. forgot to draw his other foot)

If anyone was paying a great deal of attention to my ~two ~most recent posts;; you'll see the predicament I (apparently trhoughtlesly) got myself into.

Two artworks. Both I thought weould be good for using as banner images, but also both artists were kind enough to permit me to use them! (I mighta imagined I coulda been lucky enoguh to only get one permissionsing,s)

Now, undecided on what to use? So basically I'm going to use Charlie's Afanc as the banner image for one year, then switch to Irawhiti's dragon after that time.

Just felt I should say. (e.g. what if one

This is for @violetvolute and Jacob the Precious on Twitter! We recently had a great conversation about establishing shots, dynamic angles, and the importance of letting my readers know where my characters are.

girl who gets periodically insane about cryptids and folklore creatures: hmmmmmmmm getting a lot of afanc vibes from this throwaway monster in this adult oriented cartoon

A little more of "The Mark of Nimueh"

Arthur: (Knocks the door to Gaius's Tower) Merlin!

Merlin: (opens the door) I'm on my way. Sorry I'm late.

Arthur: (Smiles at the feeling of deja vu) Don't worry. I'm getting used to it. (stops smiling when he notices the flowers on Merlin's neckerchief)

Merlin: Oh, uh. (pulls out the flowers) Gwen gave it to me.

Arthur: (jealous) You two are pretty close aren't you?

Merlin: (confused at Arthur's sudden question) Uhm.. Yeah, I guess? I mean, we just known each other for a couple of weeks so-

Arthur: Do you like flowers?

Merlin: Uhm... I do actually (smiles a little). They're a nice gesture but...

Arthur: But?

Merlin: It's sad they have to cut them. Just to die in days time. (thinking) Why did you say that?! He's going to think you're a sappy petticoat now! 😖

Arthur: (points the flowers) And you like forget me nots?

Merlin: I love them! 😊(puts the flowers back in his neckerchief). Not that I think the other flowers aren't beautiful. But there aren't many that are purple and-

Arthur: And you like purple.

Merlin: Yeah... (blushes, thinking) Why are we talking about what flowers I like? He never asked me that before.

Gaius: (interrumping) Sire? Do you have a message for me or...?

Arthur: (blushes) Oh, right. My father wants to see you inmediatly.

Time skip. Merlin and Arthur fighting with the Afanc.

Afanc: (Throws Arthur aside)

Merlin: Arthur! (runs infront of him and raises his torch to the beast, ready to use his wind spell)

Afanc: (blows the flame)

Merlin: Oh, fuck. (falls on his back when the beast aproaches him)

Arthur: Merlin! (covers him with his body)

Merlin: Your torch! Arthur, your torch! (points the fallen torch that fortunatly still has a little flame)

Arthur: (grabs it and raises it at the beast while still on top of Merlin)

Merlin: (thinking the spell so Arthur can't hear him) Lyfte ic þe in balwen ac forhienan se wideor!

Afanc: (is set on fire and dies)

Arthur: (turns to Merlin and gets to see just a bit of the gold in his eyes before it dissapears, thinking as he catches his breath) So this was also you.

Merlin: (Catching his breath but also nervous, cause Arthur is still on top of him and keeps looking at him directly in the eye) Ar...Arthur?

Arthur: (caress Merlin's face, concerned) Are you okay?

Merlin: (Nods, red to his ears) Ahm... could you...?😳

Arthur: Oh, right. Sorry. (stands up and helps Merlin to stand up)

Merlin: (covers his embarrasment with anger) You! You can't keep putting yourself at risk like that! 😡

Arthur: (shouts back) I could tell you the same thing! You came here to fight the beast alone, didn't you? Why didn't you come to me? (thinking) As you did last time.

Merlin: I had it under control! I just needed fire to defeat it (thinking) And wind and magic. But you can't know that! (says) I didn't want to put you in innecessary danger!

Arthur: (in shock for a second but then smirks) You care about me?

Merlin: (red again) N-No. But I can't keep my job if my master is dead!

Arthur: So you love being my servant.😏

Merlin: I... 😳(thinking) WHAT IS HAPPENNING?! 😨😱(says) It pays well 😠. (starts leaving as dignified as he can)

Arthur: The exit is the other way.

Merlin: I knew that! 😡 (goes the other way)

Arthur: (laughs a little and follows him, thinking) Do you love me already? When exactly did you fall in love with me?

Time skip. Merlin enters his room and finds a purple lily in a pot next to his bed. Surprised and confused, Merlin reads the note next to it. The note says "There are many purple flowers you just have to look for them carefully. Here is one in a pot so it doesn't die, but knowing it's under your care I bet it'll last a few days anyways. Don't go into danger alone again. Atte Arthur".

Merlin: (puts the lily back in the table and sits on his bed calmly... and then sinks his face in a pillow to scream)
