Excalibur in the Welsh Tradition

From Encyclopedia of Mythological Objects, by Theresa Bane

Below is an excerpt of the original text and a translation describing Llenlleawg's slaughter of Diwrnach:

Swung it in a circle" Hmmmmm. I looked at some other translations:

The Mabinogion, by Gwyn Jones

The Mabinogi and Other Medieval Welsh Tales by Patrick K. Ford

It does seem like Excalibur has the capability to destroy an entire army

THE SWORD OF RHYDDERCH HAEL - CLAN CARRUTHERS CCIS

THE SWORD OF RHYDDERCH HAEL   ‘Dyrnwyn (‘White-Hilt), the sword of Rhydderch the Generous: if a well-born man drew it himself, it burst into flame from its hilt to its tip. And everyone who used to ask for it would receive it; but because of this peculiarity everyone used to reject it. And therefore he was called Rhydderch the Generous.’   The Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain I draw…

King Arthur's dating Jesus in homestuck

[we-are-knight]

Wait wait wait...wait.

I'm only now finding out that there is a sword named after the Welsh version of Arthur's sword, that I could obtain...?

Look, we're not saying that you need this sword. But..... just hear us out.

This is the Caledfwlch Sword from Windlass.

No, because we're obsessed, too. Here's just a little bit more information on it and a much better look at it in all its glory.

Check it out here!

He wonders what it would be like to talk to swords.

Not that it would help with Caledfwlch. The sword and him are one and the same, one soul split into two beings. And all that.

I ran out of tags

I’ve created a Homestuck Family Tree.

Some observations:

- Harry Anderson is both Yiffanys cousin and Uncle, and while he’s not Technically dating Tavros the whole affair verges on incestuous, as Tavros is Harry’s Uncle. Not that incest is much of a problem in Homestuck. But.

- Through a few leaps in logic, Jade is siblings with a Sword, a Cat, and Doc Scratch.

- I have no idea how to categorize Calliopes relationship to Doc Scratch. She’s sort of… part of him. If Doc Scratch inherits unclehood from Hal, would he inherit siblinghood from Caliborn.

Now, time to tag all 53 characters

🌻Meraki's arsenal🌻

This started as an excercise for dinamic poses using some references and giving my trollsona diferent hairstyles, but i ended up using it as a way to show a bunch of axes she has.

Some are based of canon weapons, like Ahab's crosshairs (Eridan's gun), caledfwlch (Dave's sword), Ancestral Awakening Sword (Vriska's sword), Thorns of oglogoth (Rose's horroterror wands) and The legendary Zilly Weapons.

If the names are stupid you already know it's because i speak spanish👍 (tho names of things in homestuck are kinda stupid anyways)
