"I'm not a witch, I'm barely a magic wielder, I'm just a ticking time bomb." (from Morfydd)

"Do you just tell yourself that because you don't wish to believe that? Because whether or not you choose to deny that part of you Seeing someone with.the amount of power you wield says otherwise."

The Whumps of March 2024: "Twins"

A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.

Morgan had never loved Urien. Years later, she would muse that she never had a chance to. Uther had arranged their marriage. It didn't matter how good of a husband or a man Urien was; Morgan was doomed to hate him. He was one more enemy to fight, one more target for her smoldering resentment.

The twins were her only consolation.

From the first moment that she held them in her arms, it was a shock how much she loved them. Yvain, already rambunctious as a toddler, always trying to prove that he could do what he shouldn't try. Morfydd, gangly and awkward and placid, but with a hint of steel underneath. Each so different, each so wonderful and infuriating and perfect in their own way.

And they were hers. She could see bits of herself in their looks, their personalities, and she could sense, ever so faintly, a bit of her own magical power running through their veins. Her children. It meant so much, when it seemed like nothing in her life was ever truly hers. Each was a balm in her life of loneliness.

And yet, there were bits of Urien in them too. Traits that she loved in isolation, but turned bitter when she remembered where they came from.

She might have made her move sooner, if not for the twins. She knew that Urien's death would hurt them. It made her hate the man more, but it stayed her hand for a while.

And then, when she finally decided to act...as she stood over Urien's sleeping form, prepared at last to end his miserable life, they burst in. Morfydd screamed, Yvain grabbed her hand, and, and, and—

She fled. Soon everyone knew that Queen Morgan had tried to kill her husband, and it wasn't long until they discovered that she was behind Accolon's rebellion and the theft of Excalibur, too.

It was freeing, really. After all these years, she no longer had to play nice with Urien or Arthur or any of them.

But her twins, left behind at Garlot...the look of horror on Morfydd's face, and Yvain's rage...

They were her children. So how could they have chosen her enemies over her?

are there twins in arthurian legend?

Oh for sure! The Welsh Triads has an entire section devoted to “Fair Womb-Burdens,” ie, multi-baby pregnancies.

So King Urien has a twin, his children Owain and Morfydd are twins, and Peredur [Perceval] is a triplet! This family tree from Warriors of Arthur even includes mention of this.

I'm sure there are more outside Welsh mythology, but none that I recall.

Arthuriana August of @caer-gai, blood or no

First prompt and I'm already late, but that's how I roll baybee

I feel like Morfydd and Ywain are like the scary twins who know everything about everything around them lol. Ywain is also probably covered in bird shit like 85% of the time, so it's quite bold of him to have long hair.

Been on a botany kick recently so it's probably safe to assume that plants will continue for this challenge. Chose cotton grass for them because it gives kinda weird fae vibes y'know. Also good lord apparently I can only draw Morfydd's face from the front and everything else is off limits:')

#saving this for later reference becuase I'd love to have more stories with masc ladies in them#ragnelle definitely struck me as masculine when reading her story#very fond of the idea of Morgan and Morfydd both looking masc as well. In my heart Yvain and Morfydd look damn near the exact same#but I want to read up more on those two (Morgan and Morfydd) before making a final call#and lunete. beloved lunete.#not exactly masculine presenting but she throws on whatever clothes can get the job done. Armor or dress or tunic or what-have-you.#tomboy-ish might be the word?

yes i hope to get more suggestions and thoughts from people! so far it's been fascinating and i love every single one! oooh i will read up about Morfydd, she sounds cool! Lunete beloved, honestly the handmaidens in arthuriana are so fucking cool!

and yeah all forms of masculine headcanons are accepted here, no matter if you headcanon them as queer or not <3

i was thinking this morning about how many depictions i have seen of arthurian female characters are quite feminine. we headcanon many of these characters as girl kissers and of course not all queer women are masculine but there's so little masc rep out there...

so i am wondering what female characters in the arthurian legend yall headcanon as butch/masc?

do you write about them? make art/crafts about them? do you have any face headcanons for them?

please share!
