OCtober day 18 - swap 🩸👼 (their original forms look like this!)

i went with "role in the story" for this one. i've thought abt this AU a bit before, but i think a lot of things would change if gwyar was sacrificed instead of claret…

The Cooler Claret spawned from a face monster and so i thought it would b cute to have gwyar mutate from a crimera! (<- objectively uncute thing to say). the monsters r somewhat significant bc they represent unfulfilled desires from when they were still ppl, like claret becoming strong enough to protect her home/family and gwyar's desire to be free (hence y she can fly now).

even though claret emerges as an adult in canon, i chose to keep gwyar as a child in the swapped version bc it felt more fitting. clarets new role in the story is similar to gwyars in that she aims to purge the crimson, but where gwyar becomes quite apathetic, claret takes on a much crueler personality... 😔

I love my character Gwyar Cypress

I really wanna show you all Gwyar from my Bloodlines WIP, which a co-written with my friend/artist that does my Arigale artwork. Seriously, she's so hot. I think she is the hottest character I ever made. She's suave, she's cold-blooded against dicks, she's a singer at a tavern, she murders people she knows are up to no good by luring them to her house, usually drunk. She handles her own alcohol well. She's sultry and pan and knows what she wants and needs. She's got some deep seated trauma. She's a weird sort of half-born fae concept I made based somewhat on alraune myth (at least of their creation kinda) as well that makes her fae wings somewhat formed from viscera. She doesn't know much about herself and masquerades as a half-elf because it's easier with her ears and with wings hidden. She's got so much blood on her hands and no regrets. She looks like a goddess. I only have a sketch right now and it is planned to be colored and all at some point, but here.

(art by @fracturedfable - Twitter/dA) Also, her name has meaning like all my WIPs. Gwyar - Bloodshed Cypress - The type of tree she has a spiritual connection to on the hill outside town. A tree often planted around funeral plots. They are a classical symbol of mourning, but also they are a symbol for everlasting life. She carries on the wills of people who died in the town wrongfully and avenges them. Hopefully I have some colored art and can work on her Bloodlines WIP page more by end of the month as planned.

who are the main characters in welsh arthurian mythos?

Hi anon! You know, I looked at this question and just fuckin DIED with GLEE! Ehdhdjdhdjd I LOVE SHIT LIKE THIS!!!!! SHDJDJDH

First off, Arthur is pretty big. He's less a king and more of a warlord, but there's still a lot of cultural reverence for him in Welsh things. Seriously, Henry VII - a notable faux-Welshman - named his firstborn son Arthur purely because he was going to be Prince of Wales. Also, in Culhwch and Olwen his retinue has TWO Welsh GODS in it - Manawydan and Pryderi (my beloveds.) Idk what they're doing in it but I am inordinately pleased that they are there.

Also, Uther Pendragon / Uther Ben. Taliesin wrote a poem about him which is super fun. (Also, oddly enough Taliesin himself HAS been linked into Arthurian legends on multiple occasions. He's also another Arthur-type in that he's still regarded as tooling the line between mythical and real.)

Gwenhwyfar is also important even though she takes a back seat. Speculation is rife about whether she had a quest/myth about her (sorta like Culhwch and Olwen) and also her name means 'white phantom!' BRING IT BACK. I, for one, think she definitely did have a quest attributed to her in which Arthur had to do something to get her hand in marriage but idk WHAT.

Also, she's a GIANT!!!!!!!! EJDJDKDKDKD

Gwalchmai is also Super Important. There's speculation as to whether he was a mythical character who got implanted into the mythos or if he was always Atthur's nephew. Basically, he's a giant and he kills giants. Seriously, he's CONSTANTLY killing giants in the mythos. Plus he is called 'Gwalchmai Golden / Silver-tongued' in poetry too. In the Mabinogion, he's very often the one to soothe discord between the other knights so he's very diplomatic too.

Cai and Bedwyr, obviously! They come as a pair. Do Not Separate. Now, Cai is sometimes also seen to be a giant but his dad is Cynyr Ceinfarfog who was a real king. He ruled Dyfed and was the dad of Saint Non and, therefore, grandad to SAINT DAVID. (Wales' patron saint!) So Cai, like Arthur, has a saintly lineage. Before the French Romances shifted his character into the more recognisable Kay, Arthur's grumpy seneschal, Cai was a warrior of great renown. And literally superhuman. Like, nobody would received from.a blow from his sword, he could brave fire and water like nobody else, he has the ability to go nine nights and days without sleep or the need to breathe. He's a ledge.

Now, Bedwyr! Again he's a great warrior and ONE-ARMED. He's called Bedwyr Bedrydant (Bedwyr of the Perfect Sinew) and he's HOT SHIT. Seriously, he's like the most beautiful Knight in Arthur's court. The 10th-century poem 'pa gur' says that assailants 'fell by the hundred / before Bedwyr of the Perfect sinew ... fighting with Garwlwyd/ furious with sword and shield.' (Also, BTW Garwlwyd is possibly a werewolf.)

They have to put up with SO MUCH SHIT from Arthur's escapades it's ridiculous. They had to convince Arthur not to intervene in a King abducting a princess and carrying her back to his court, ffs. Give them a HOLIDAY. WITH SALMON TAXIS.

Now, I would say Merlin BUT he is added later into the mythology. He isn't there straight off. But he is Welsh. He's FUN. He was apparently based on Myrddin Wyllt. He went mad, and lived in a forest. His bestie was a king who died.

Now, I also think Owain, and Geraint on account of their having stories written about them but they're two kings who got folded into the mythos a bit later. Urien (Owain's dad) is another example.

Also, Macsen Wledig too. But again writers melded him in later. And I mean this in the sense that he and Arthur share similarities in how they're perceived in Welsh culture.

Anyways, anon, I hope this helps. I'm probably forgetting a TONNE of characters (Peredur, for one.) But I Don't want to bore you or make anybody trawl through this unwillingly so I shall stop! Hopefully, this helps! Thank u for the question!!!!

had the absolute best time playing @the-kingshound demo!! im a big fan of arthurian legend and i love how the author took it and made it better mhm; so i felt like drawing my new faves Gwyar and Morien

[falkecat]

My first artfight attack ever for @sylphwing! I hope you really likies how I drew Gwyar and Nissa hehe

[the-kingshound]

The first thing you notice is how cold the bed is. Still mostly into the grasp of sleep, you turn on your stomach, reaching out with a hand to seek your bedmate beside you.

"Gwyar, love?"

You find the other half of the bed empty.

Immediately, panic starts to grow inside you, dissipating quickly what remains of the restless dreams you had. Gwyar hadn't come as they promised, while you passed them in the eastern main hall. With the naked sincerity they always had while talking to you, they had promised to join you later.

But the bed is cold, so Gwyar didn't come at all.

You are half dressed and out of your bedchamber in moments. Like a beast that hunts the castle of Camelot, you pace the hall restlessly, panic and guilt making your vision cloud at the edges more than once.

No NO how could you let this happen to THEM-

You find three guards with their throats cut, one after the other.

You do not find Gwyar.

You do not find Gwyar.

[buttcheekr]

this is my durge, gwyar. he is very pretty. he's also what i would call a murder himbo. because his characterization is born of me impulse selecting the evilest options available at any given time. he may be stupid. he may be murderous. but i just kind of like him, idk. like he's the playthrough i've gotten furthest in. thankfully, astarion, lae'zel, and minthara have found it within their hearts to put up with him

[thcdoomed]

"Halsin has been kidnapped."

|| @bhaalsfavorite

Dronia was tending to Inkblot when Gwyar came running toward her tent, urgency in both his step and his voice. Maybe even genuine concern. But he had fooled her before, feigning to be a kind and good soul, her trust had not yet been repaired. A dark brow quirked, the woman shot him a look, still uncertain if she should believe him after everything.

"If this is a ploy to lead me away from the others..." She would not allow him to manipulate her or play with her emotions again. "He was here not even an hour ago."
