I Believe it's now over a Year since I've joined Tumblr
First of All
THANK YOU so much to all My Followers and Mutuals!
I wish I could mention all my 99 followers, but I felt it was too unwieldy so I'll just settle for keeping it small:
Thank you very much to:
@cesarescabinet @sanddef @0rions-belt @fairyhagmother
@mistoffeleesisawitch @moirailsupport @taliesin-the-bored @dullyn
@gailyinthedark @enjoyerofstories @rainbluealoekitten @a-funeral-pyre
@agravaineoforkney @gingersnaptaff @sagewiththyme @emperorcandy @nukethebees
@jimmythejiver @oneshoulderangel @salomania @wandrenowle
@wildbasil @sickfreaksirkay @liminalpsych @neapolitangirl
And Shoutouts to:
@tiodolma @delphiniumpacificguinevere @the-king-and-the-druidess @thesquireinvictus
@adhd-merlin @joemerl @gellavonhamster
and many, many more!
With special thanks to:
@queer-ragnelle - who's Arthurian Preservation Project was the best resource that I was fortunate enough to discover. (You should go check it out HERE)
SO... a whole year has passed since I've joined Tumblr and wow, I didn't think I would come to love blogging here; I don't really engage with social media much at all, even now. But here, it's different. I first came to Tumblr because of my growing obsession with the Arthurian Tradition - something that had been growing for a long time since I was still in High school. Back then, I was also a freak for folklore and mythology. And having since come here, I think it's helped me a lot, both in my personal life and with my obsession with Arthuriana. The community here is wonderful and comfortable to talk about our little niche
With all that said, I thank you to all who've liked and reblogged my posts and, trust me I've got PLENTY MORE things to show and talk about King Arthur and his mythos.
So, I hope I can continue blogging about our favorite knights and ladies at Camelot for the forseeable future.
Finally, to cap off
I wish you all love, peace and happiness no matter what
#this might be the only time im doing this becuz it's kinda not my style#but#i want to be grateful to this site and to the people who I interactive with here#happy anniversary#arthuriana#my blog#my thoughts#oc#long post#arthurian fandom#arthurian tumblr community#tumblr#tumblr community

I love TOAFK myself but... well, it did that.
Also, lots of comments on how queer The Vulgate Cycle is.
I keep seeing medival arthurian literature pop up on my dash, and I did a little digging because I'm a huge literature, arts and language nerd

Arthur: I know he might seem clumsy,disrespectful and idiotic but he is not a traitor.
Merlin: jeez... What have I done to earn such a good defense?
Arthur: Shut up Merlin, I'm trying to prove that you didn't break the law.
Merlin: Well, you certainly believe that so that's half the battle won.

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

May I just say, non-condescendingly, that I love how we’re all such nerds about these characters that we take weird, obscure tidbits, like Kai’s laundry list of superpowers (which upwards of 99% of everyone everywhere will never know or care about), for granted as common knowledge.
hello. i was wondering sumn. what makes a knight of camelot ~A Knight of Camelot~? there are so many of them and they’re all different but do they have characteristics in common that are found in the average Famous Knight of Camelot and that when you see you think “ah yes that is very arthurian of them”. i hope my question is not a bother to you and too confusing.
Hi! Like every other answer I ever give, it’s highly dependent on the text.
In the Mabinogion, Arthur’s best knights tend to have special abilities, even magical powers. We all remember Kai’s fun list of attributes.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1ee6c03f1e7fa7d7bf98bad3964065a8/eec7e7a4b87658ec-85/s540x810/0165af40bb71080460a742c838f8f6101c3858e3.jpg)
But generally speaking, fame in Camelot comes from 3 things:
Every successful knight is hot. I don’t make the rules.
They have to be good at beating the snot out of other guys. Obviously.
Branding. I’m so serious.
My basis for this comes from the Vulgate descriptions of the Orkney Bros. Specifically, Gaheriet/Gaheris. Not because he’s famous, but because he isn’t.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dc272245399f1a658d3a331cf5b4b143/eec7e7a4b87658ec-e7/s540x810/5751250e3f29a905598459625c788d56e4aa4eee.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8978f44e149e6fdce830e2adfacb18f2/eec7e7a4b87658ec-ee/s540x810/79aa14bc47eee5f257c50795771621124f053ac8.jpg)
It’s no accident that Gaheris never makes it to the big screen the way his brothers do. He is, by design, basic. The quintessential middle child. He doesn’t have a Special Trait (such as Gawain’s courtesy or reputation as a ladies man or noontime powers etc.) and that makes Gaheris forgettable. To be a famous knight, you gotta put your whole pussy into it, in front of a live studio audience, or you won’t be famous no matter how good you are. Makes sense when you think about it!
Not sure if that answers your question, but that’s what I got. Take care. :^)

The ICONIC moment Merlin and Arthur meet. I’m still in complete shock that I went there and walked on the same concrete that the whole cast and crew walked on. Such an adventure, one I am so grateful for. The meaning behind my @ name is back in 2012 for some reason some of us were calling ourselves ‘Merlanians’ - am I the only one who remembers this?! Also taking these photos was so fun and I highly recommend it if you get the chance to go 🥰

Lancelot: How have you been? I feel like you recently acted a bit... strange
Merlin: I have no idea what you're talking about
Lancelot: So nothing is happening? Something for which you act like this?
Merlin: No, no, a lot of things happen all the time so I have no idea what you mean by "recently"

once i hit 100 followers on my sideblog, i'll be taking bbc merlin and arthurian art requests from my followers. i want to post more of my designs and get into the writing aspect, but i also don't want to have so few followers when i do that the posts flop... here's my attempt at posting "advertising" for this project! ⭐️
