King Arthur || imagine
Tumblr media
Метки: флафф; любящий свою жену Артур.
Слов: 553
Твои прикосновения нежные и ласковые, успокаивают Артура. Он прикрывает глаза, расслабл��ясь и наслаждаясь теплом воды в ванне и своей женой, сидящей позади него. Ты снова зачерпываешь воду ковшиком и выливаешь её на голову Артура, заставляя его немного откинуться назад. Другая твоя рука ложится на его линию волос на лбу, теперь она в виде препятствия, чтобы вода не попала ему на глаза.
Зачерпнув немного жидкого мыла, ты растираешь его по голове Артура, одновременно массируя его кожу. Довольный стон срывается с его губ, а глаза прикрываются.
— Ты доставляешь мне удовольствие, даже не находясь голой в одной ванне со мной. Я думаю, это волшебство. Я женился на ведьме.
Хихиканье разносится за его спиной, заставляя Артура расплыться в улыбке.
— Не скажи только это при священнике, боюсь он не верно истолкует твои слова.
— Он вряд ли вовсе сможет поверить, что женщины так прекрасны, — Артур снова слышит твой смешок.
Зачерпнув снова воды, ты выливаешь её аккуратно на волосы своего мужа, стараясь смыть всё мыло. Ты проделываешь это несколько раз. Единственный шум — это плеск воды, свечи вокруг вас помогают тебе видеть обнажённое тело своего короля. Мышцы под его кожей кажутся напряжённым, даже если горячая вода и ты должны были бы ему помочь избавиться от стресса, накопившегося не только за этот день, но и неделю.
Быть правителем оказалось сложнее, чем он мог предположить. Ты и время с тобой – его отдушина, даже тренировки с мечом стали чем-то непосильным для него.
— Я хочу уехать с тобой, ненадолго, есть одно место в лесу за Лондиниумом. Всего пару дней. Или недель. — Его рука опускается на твою икру, свисая через бортик ванной. Его ладонь мокрая, и оставляет влажные следы на коже твоей ноги, заставляя чувствовать прохладу. Он не перестаёт гладить тебя.
— Твои обязанности...
— Я найду кому их поручить.
Ты отставляешь ковшик, и тогда Артур двигается ближе к краю ванной, так, чтобы откинуть голову и встретится прямо с твоими глазами. Ты наклоняешься к нему, оставляя небре��ный и смазанный поцелуй на его губах.
— Это согласие? — он интересуется.
Твои ноги разведены так, чтобы ты сидела как можно ближе к своему мужу, который продолжает гладить тебя, но теперь его пальцы скользят к твоим ступням, и он легко проходится по твоей пятке. Ты держала ноги на носочках, и у Артура есть шанс пощекотать тебя, чем он и воспользовался.
Ты сразу отстраняешься от него, вскрикивая.
— Тебе спать в моей постели, жена, я добьюсь своего.
— Артур, — твой тон серьёзный, но ты боишься, что твой муж решит замучить тебя щекотками. — Конечно, я согласна.
Он довольно улыбается.
— Ты поможешь мне вытереться? Кажется, королю обязаны помогать обсохнуть.
Ты закатываешь глаза, поднимаясь со своего места.
— Боюсь, мой король, вам самим придётся с этим разобраться.
Тебе не сложно догадаться, чего хотел твой муж, всё ещё имевший желания мальчишки с улицы. Иногда его слова были слишком откровенными, а иногда ещё не переходили грань неприличия.
Подойдя к деревянному стеллажу с полотенцами, ты отворачиваешься от Артура. Всплеск воды за твоей спиной заставляет тебя понять, что он поднялся из ванной. Мужчина без стеснения, обнажённый, подходит к тебе и забирает своё полотенце.
— Некоторые слуги с удовольствием бы выполнили такую просьбу.
— Мне позвать их? — интересуешься ты, нахмурившись, почувствовав маленькую инъекцию ревности в сердце.
— Я просто подшучиваю, жена. — Артур склоняется к тебе, всё ещё мокрый и обнажённый. — Я предпочитаю только тебя.
Его губы захватывают твои в жадном и любящем поцелуи. Отстранившись, ты уже не чувствуешь себя такой злой на его слова.
— Я буду в спальне.

one aspect i wish was shown more in king arthur: legend of the sword is what arthur’s plans were with the money he’d been slowly and carefully accumulating for 10+ years. 
was he going to stay in londinium? or leave and start a new life for himself? i think its a shame we weren’t shown more of arthur’s motivations beside his drive to murder his uncle.

thoughts and opinions on bree's birthday gifts!!!!
[spoilers for legendborn and bloodmarked, read at your own caution ;)] it's been long since i got to do long ass posts hehe i'm back in the game yall
first of all, happy birthday bree!!!! (real footage of me making cakes)
Tumblr media
starting off strong with alice chen;
Tumblr media
that's so cute?? and two gifts!! bree gonna keep that gift card close to her heart!! like common we all know they are book besties like awwieee so cuteee!! and tickets to eras tour?? keep up with the spoiling your bestie i love you alice!!
then we have edwin matthews;
Tumblr media
this is so him tho, ofc he's gonna take care of his lil girl for the winters. that winter coat is gonna be very handy on the run. and bless his soul i hope he doesn't have to find out what the battle is-
our golden boy, nicholas martin davis;
Tumblr media
that is so thoughtful tho?? and it's so cute he had it handmade like damn dude, and with her initials too. and what did you say about late-night sword training sessions you mean they trained whennnnnn we have been robbed????
our favorite sorcerer, selwyn emyrs kane;
Tumblr media
the coupon?? that is so fucking hilarious, imagine selwyn drawing that coupon and smiling to himself like "ahh the perfect joke" comon this is so cute and i bet bree loved it. and the rose?? got me giggling and shit like dude i had headcanoned something like this as like a ring during bree's college trips but comon a rose is so much better?? ahhhhhhhh I'm in looooooveee say what you want this is so cute mann (and the rose kinda reminded me of the rose in tracy's insta story?? is this something or am i too obsessed??)
our rootcrafting companion, mariah;
Tumblr media
lmaoo she is not wrong about the reasons tho. bree definitely needs that spa day. maybe add in a braiding session too. she needs those curls fresh and on for the newest adventure.
the cutest legendborn!! greer taylor;
Tumblr media
oh my gosh that is so cool bree in training gear yalls I'm so pumped for bree's 1v1 fights with anyone honestly like my oh my!! good job greer!!
our deadliest softboy, william sitterson;
Tumblr media
william is a tea guy for sure, ofc his birthday treat is at a teahouse!! spending the day enjoying william's favorite tea and maybe a lil bit of teasing on both sides?? what will be the treats tho him baking his favorite biscuits or a luncheon with his king, i say bothhh
now there are a two people that i really wanted to see;
larkin douglas; yes he hasn't been around in bloodmarked too but comon even he would know sometime from William hehe about bree's birthday what would he gift her?? he did gift her those leather gauntlets, an updraged version of them?? metal gauntlets?? now if bree has her powers in control ofc she doesn't need the gauntlets but it could be a gesture of trust, for the old days sake
valec; like comon i do think he'd just give her a chocolate or a life advice and move on, but given that he has taken a liking to her and has become very protective (as his baby sister okay guys he's not in love) he might offer something else. his knowledge maybe, he has been around for 200 years you bet he has a lot to tell. or like he could answer three questions she wants the answers to, we all know our bree is best at questioning everything.
my thoughts??
can the order of how the people are placed have any correspondence to how events have passed or any foreshadowing to what could happen?? because i am the type of person who likes to order things like that; so if this is foreshadowing, because for the past events we need to put sel after alice and all that yk, does this mean we are going to start oathbound with a different pov?? because alice and edwin are shown first so it is possible oathbound can start from the new pov (either nick or selwyn)
nick giving bree a scabbard, foreshadowing?? i still have to read on arthuriana more, so i can't say for sure but please enlighten me is this related to the legend. all i know is that excalibur's scabbard was gone which is why arthur fell in camlamn. so that means nick giving bree could potentially symbolize him protecting her?? but from what?? selwyn?? shadow king?? who??
also, from the whole order apart from the found family, only greer is mentioned. now i was assuming that sarah will be in charge now after tor has been "betrayed" aka kicked out of gc. so if greer is mentioned does this mean greer will be in charge?? but aren't they kinda young in the whole order, like young as in new?? and if they are in charge, then what will sarah do because by the order of lines sarah should be after tor, right??
and if this order of names thing is correct, we will be seeing mariah yayy but William is last, so is this for the whole book or like the first half?? because there's no valec no lark (my babies i wanted to see themmm??)
or maybe im just reading too much into this

This Rsa stone sword is making me think of too much scenario...
Like, after Book 7 end, perhaps in Book 8, the Diasomnia family walks in for the Magishift Tournament NRC lose every year. And for the event, this stone sword is exposed and people could try to put it out of the stone because of some prophecy telling only the heir could take it out.
Some descendants of the Silver Owls are there, in RSA, and they are kinda awkward seeing Lilia. No hate or anything. But General Vanrouge is like a scary child tale and here he is, all silly walking and teasing his sons. Then, Silver's ring starts shining a bit under his clothes and he ask about the sword -and Lilia tells him the legend behind it.
Sebek being the cute pround boy he is go tried to take it -he fails.
Malleus be like "I feel some kind of curse on this sword...should I try to dispell it ?"
Lilia answering "No, you will destroy all the fun. And you're still in overblot recovery young man"
Then, it's Silver turn. And like in the King Arthur legend, boy take out this sword like nothing. Everyone is speechless, and Lilia reconized the Knight of Dawn sword.
"Oh, freak, I should've see it coming"
[referring to this post]
Hello Anonie 🌺🌷🌻
The RSA sword in stone has always interested me because of the potential symbolism it can bring. I have always been curious how RSA would play a role in the future especially after the Knight of Dawn was introduced. Then we add in the fact that RSA was established fairly recently and how almost each twst character has an rsa counterpart… 👀🤔
If Book 8 takes place during the Spelldrive tournament, it would be a very curious connection. We know the next book will have Diasomnia helping out with (presumably) Grim OB, but also adding in the tournament would be curious move because then we have a possible connection there with Silver (as talked about in linked post above).
I would be very interested to see how they connect the past to the present as Yana mentioned that past, present, and future will play a role 🤔
(This is also me hoping for more Knight of Dawn content 🙏 OTL)
I do wonder where the sword of the Knight of Dawn is 🤔, just like the Princess Glow, we don’t know the whereabouts of these powerful magic items.
Yet, items such as Lilia’s hatchet and Dawn’s ring is known. Interesting how it’s always the ‘protector’ items that’s shown but not the ‘weapon’ of destruction if that makes sense.
I fully believe if such an event like this was to occur the headmasters of both sides played a role somehow.
I would find it very funny if the sword was comically found like this 😂
Just…can you imagine? It’s supposed to be fun and games. And Lilia probably has a feeling but you know, what can go wrong? (Famous last words) and, whoops, Silver pulls out the sword.
Lilia: Oh, so that’s why the handle looked familiar.
Malleus: How could you forget?!
…well, it looks like they have another weapon to chop wood with 😆🤣
Someone help the sons deal with their father 😂🙏

Hello! I am the anon who talked about Konrad's manipulation and mental torture of the reader. While reading Idylls of the King by Alfred Tennyson - a poem which retells the legend of King Arthur, his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal of him, and the rise and fall of Arthur's kingdom - I began to think of a new scenario about Lion El'Jonson's beloved. Also this a bit of rant, sorry
Also this was inspired by the legend of Lady Godiva and the Arthurian Queen Guinevere :)
In some sort of a chivalric romance, Lion falls in love and begans to court a Terran noblewoman. Like Ulrich von Liechtenstein - in his work Frauendienst (trans. Service of Ladies), he retails his often-fictional, self-styled autobiographical where he, as a young knight, becomes obsessed with the lady he once served as a child - I imagine the Lion being the type of guy who does everything he can to get his beloved's attention. Maybe she had lots of suitors, maybe she was from a great family, maybe she was just a plain beauty, but nonetheless the Lion was absolutely smitten and happy to do anything. He duels her suitors, in jousting, in sword-fighting, but most, obviously, simply didn't accept. The Lion was 10+ feet tall "man", ruler of the Black Angels and son of the Emperor of Mankind. No man with a sane mind would fight such a person as the Lion!
He, after a long time, finally can marry the woman he loves. I didn't imagine how marriage with Lion El'Jonson would be like, but it's clearly not that great. He's a cold and serious, who often struggles with his emotions. His wife would have a soothing nature with him and helped him with his struggles. He would be those types of guys that completely changed when around their lovers lol. This guy is definitely a cuddle bug, loves receiving kisses and loves simply talking with his beloved. But, out of the room, he would definitely just ignore her. Firstly, he is a busy, he doesn't have almost to no little time. Secondly, he'll be genuinely scared for his sons to perceive him as weak and soft. He must be beacon of hope and power to his sons which is clearly possible when around his beloved.
Fast forward to the end of the Horus Heresy, his beloved somehow lives through all of it. I didn't think of a mortal living for over a millennium, some suggestions maybe? However, as we know, Lion takes his 10,000 nap, leaving Azrael to take the mantle of Chapter Master. In this case, Lion's beloved would be a Penelope-like figure: eternally devoted and in love with Lion. A legend would form around her, spoken between the Dark Angels, a woman who refuses to show herself, a woman who waits and waits for her husband arrival, a woman would take and take care of parts of Lion armour, such as his helmet and shield, and walks around, holding them. The Dark Angels would take an example of their mother's loyalty and devotion, often pressuring and reminding the Fallen of their mourning mother: "When our Mother weeps and mourns for our Father, you dare betray them?!" or something like that.
I love when people add traditional knight imagery to the Dark Angels, it makes what is usually a some what boring chapter far more interesting. I really like this anon <3

Thanks for tag! If you haven’t read @kaleidoscope1967eyes’s stuff, it’s so great! Def go check it out.
This list is in no particular order:
1. Conflict Within - that was my first ever Luke x Reader I wrote, so I’m very emotionally attached to that one and glad it did well.
2. My Random cute Luke x Reader headcanons that live in my head rent-free series (part 1 here!) - just because they’re fun to write and there’s a lot more freedom with them since they’re lists of headcanons and not a full fic chapter that has to be edited to a T.
3. Show Me - a King Arthur (from the Arthur: Legend of the Sword movie with Charlie Hunnam) x reader because that one was fun to write, I love that movie, and I love their take on Arthur and never see it get the attention I feel it deserves (really wish they could’ve made a whole series in that universe like they’d originally planned).
4. My World Without Monsters series - a Raleigh Becket (Pacific Rim) x reader series that’s currently ongoing, but is on a bit of a semi-hiatus (but I do have plans to continue), for similar reasons to #3.
5. A Crime of a Different Kind - a Luke x Reader that has a part 2 in the works. I had a lot of fun writing this one and am a sucker for the fake dating trope.
Tagging @darthpotater (so many fun reads), @little-skywalker cuz I’ve really been enjoying their stuff lately, @stonegoldsxcrxt, @starobi and @lukefics !
Also honorarily tagging @coffeeorsomething-irl. They only have one fic published that I know of (correct me if I’m wrong!), but their OC Ciri is adorable with Luke and it’s so so sweet and the world she’s built is so compelling.
Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
Aww!! Thanks @soft-girl-musings
These are my most recent/fave writings so far
1. spider’s sweetheart
2. lazy day
3. I think I might like you
4. Lay by me
5. Rest and relaxation
I’d like to tag fellow writers @ruiniel @wyyvernn @kaleidoscope1967eyes

I was working on the requests but I remembered a conversation I had with my sister the other day about an interesting topic,
How Nakaba WASTED THE GOLDEN OPORTUNITY of using Morgana Le Fay as the VILLAIN of 4kota(Even if it's cliché)
and it could have been implemented much earlier!! After all, in the Arthurian legends, Morgana is Arthur's half-sister, she could have participated in NNT as an ally who little by little went to the dark side (like Cassandra from Tangled but without a happy ending).
Imagine this, Morgana was just born to Uther Pendragon, having a great ability for magic, but he decided that she could not inherit his throne for x or y reason (being a woman, some profession, being a daughter out of wedlock) and sent her away to Avalon, where She lives her entire life away from her father's influence, but with great resentment towards him for having pushed her away (maybe even killing her mother too?) so she hones her magic with the fairies and wizards of Avalon.
So time passes and Morgana becomes a very strong magician, but she learns from others that her younger half-brother, Arthur, has just pulled the sword from the stone, and that he will be crowned king of Camelot.
NOW, Morgana would like to believe that her hatred is only reserved for Uther, so she goes to Camelot as soon as possible and the whole way she doesn't stop thinking about all this: how long has it been since she went to Camelot? What is her younger brother like? Is he like his-their- father? Although in general I think that Morgana did not want Arthur to be alone running the kingdom, whatever it was, he was her brother after all.
I think Arthur wouldn't even know he had a sister until shortly before Morgana arrived, like "oh by the way, your sister is coming to visit, your half-sister from the king" and Arthur would obviously be nervous about Morgana rejecting him but VERY EXCITED once he hears that she is a powerful mage.
And when do they meet? It's like putting a black cat with an orange cat, but surprisingly they would get along, at first.
Arthur would take Morgana as an advisory figure as she was more in contact with the political environment and helped him adapt to the royal environment, they shared tricks for fights, etc. Everything seems to be going smoothly, they both get along well.
Arthur has a STABLE and loving figure who is willing to teach him and be a family figure at the same time. and Morgana has someone who listens to her and makes her feel important.
but during the series the problems begin.
As the series progresses and Arthur becomes stronger and more mature, Morgana feels that the hatred she had towards Uther is no longer enough, as she begins to doubt whether or not she should love Arthur as HE is her replacement for a "proper heir", yes, she knows that's fucked up to think like that, but on the other hand, is it really wrong if it's your birthright?
and Morgana may have had these moments of weakness where she questioned her recently found platonic love for Arthur and her former bitterness with the Pendragons, having her ups and downs.
She loves Arthur, but she's also very recent about what her father did, and she's trying SO hard not to let it affect him.
But that's not the only thing that pushes her to the limit.
Let's say when the holy war begins, Morgana has a thousand and one doubts about her place in the world and then Arthur DIES.
and what's worse! When he revives, she realizes what Merlin wants to do with him.
(It would be especially horrible if Morgana and Merlin end up having a relationship as friends or as a pupil and teacher themselves).
Morgana pleads, BEGGS, Arthur not to trust what Merlin tells him, that what she wants him to do will not be for the greater good, but for her own benefit and Arthur is confused.
On one hand he wants to believe that after everything he's been through with Morgana she wouldn't lie to him, but Merlin is the closest thing he has to a mother...and the baby is very confused about what to do.
and here two possible endings and how Morgana reappeared in 4Kota:
1- STICKED TO THE CANON:
Arthur ends up bringing chaos, realizing that Morgana was telling the truth, Camelot is destroyed (maybe even Avalon too?) and that makes Morgana lose faith in wanting to help Arthur and the deadly sins, since THEY were the ones who brought that destruction to HIS HOME, and decides to do what has to be done.
which means that a plot begins against the Monarchies, especially against Liones and the Demonic kingdom, seeing them as the main causes of the destruction of Camelot (Meliodas and Zeldris), at the same time that he would try by all means to usurp Arthur's throne. . Even if he tries to make her reconsider.
(good alternative, Sunshine Arthur with wife Guinevere but that has some congruence in the canonical story, but I have a better one:)
2: FUCK THE CANON
Morgana applies a Cassandra from Tangled and obtains chaos instead of Arthur, becoming an antagonist who, although she helps defeat the demon king and so on, at the end of the conflict becomes a full-fledged villain.
having been devalued and pushed aside her entire life NOW even by her brother, and finally having the power to have what rightfully belongs to her makes Morgana very power-hungry. At the same time, Arthur would be having a lot of regret for not having believed his sister at the time and wants to redeem her, but it is difficult when Morgana begins her sale to all those who do not follow her to her "new Camelot."
Arthur here would not have Chaos but he would have Escalibur, which would be his advantage against Morgana in a certain way. although she is working on a "bastard sword" to change that.
Arthur is still a cinnamon roll, only with trauma and above all WITHOUT THE CHAOS, so he thinks things through better and is not corrupted.
Morgana, on the other hand, suffers a great mental decline due to Chaos, but she disguises it under the face of a smiling Queen.
Can you imagine if she created a Mordred from Chaos? ☠️ she says he is her son but trains him so that he can face Arthur and win the crown for her (because Morgana knows she couldn't handle all the allies Arthur has in this reality).
or she just wants to make Mordred do her dirty work because deep down she still loves his little brother...
(it would be especially creepy if said Mordred is similar in appearance to both her and Arthur ☠️ as if she wants a child, but also a version of Arthur that if he had listened to her and joined her...)
anyway...what do you think?
Tumblr media
regardless of that, FUCK YOU NAKABAAAAAA!!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
as i was saying the hetalia star wars au--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yes i very much based it on cardverse (honestly guys cardverse is freaking wonderful)
i feel very childish for this but im literally out of ANYONE i can share this hc with and im feeling creative with crossovers
details, drabbles and refs under cut 🤓
King of Spade/Alfred F. Jone
-double blaster. can't imagine him without a blaster fr
-non-force user, but can sense force
-ref using captain Rex's double blaster (and others like Tech)
Queen of Spades/Arthur Kirkland
-magic (i mean, typical of him) via the clock
-technically is not a strong force user but can sense force and occasionally use it
-ref the nightsister magic like Merrin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack of Spades/Yao Wang
-saber sword. pretty sure i either made this up or it's in a mysterious star wars legend comic
-just think of it as a lightsaber shaped like a sword
Ace of Spades/Matthew Williams
-classic blue lightsaber
-yea pretty much it. the hilt looks a bit like obi-wan's saber hilt but not quite a ref

Cavendish and The Little Prince
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Chapter 784 "Gear Four" Oda forestalls the reveal of Luffy's new form to emphasize he and Law as the "eye of the storm" to follow Doffy's defeat through the words of Cavendish "The Pirate Prince."
But given the implicitness of that conclusion; the scene more so exists as character building for Cavendish.
Sitting criss-cross amongst the chaos grants him a very understated character moment for Cavendish and the reader to just "be" and soak in the beauty and adventure of Dressrosa; a feeling the anime expertly captures.
Displaying concern and appreciation outside of self from a character who's core gag/drive is self-absorbenent; putting his own place on the seas into perspective.
But there's more too it.
Tumblr media
Cavendish's archetype is that of the White Knight/Knight Errant in European lit/mythos; his epithets being a verbalization of that fact.
Tumblr media
Dressrosa is One Piece's analogue for Spain-
Cavendish's name is English in etymology and his real world namesake "Thomas Cavendish" the privateer is partly known for his raids of Spanish ships.
He's the former prince of the Borgeoise Kingdom, hailing from Rommel where himself as Hakuba became known as their slicing winds (a Kamitachi; a Yokai in Japanese mythos) alluding to Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde and Jack The Ripper as you may know, both English refrences.
His former kingdoms name shares it's etymology with Mary Geoise in the French word Borgeosie and Cavendish's aesthetics/rapier are very Musketeer/French.
His weapon/attacks are all references to European mythos/lit/plays.
-Durandal a French blade of legend
-Round Table (King Arthur)
-Blue Bird
-Biken: Zan t-Exupéry
-Precious Metal Axe
The tontattas/fairies being another tie to literature and mythos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Given that pastiche it's notable that Oda chose Cavendish to sit in a childlike manner and note one of the two most fantastical aspects of the arc in the "dwarves" (the other being the toys).
It taps into the feelings fantasy ferments in children and the inspirations behind Oda's writing, in a land where Doflamingo has cast a cruel veneer over the settings beauty.
A recent realization on my part is on the fourth attack listed above "Biken: Zant t-Exupéry" or
"Beautiful Sword: Stardust Prince."
The attack's name coming from French novel "The Little Prince-" and it's author; a childrens novel dealing with space, a loss of imagination in adulthood, love and loss and the human experience more broadly.
The titular character being the lonely, blonde "little prince" of an asteroid where he resides and tends to his love.
A thorny, vain, rose that "The Little Prince" knows not how to love properly until they've lost each other and he learns to see the uniqueness in those he values through their worth to one another vs outside validation/being a lone rose.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cavendish is first seen with a red rose and his attacks often have rose petals swirling around him.
He's a blonde prince, exiled from his home with his animal companion Farul (The Little Prince tames/makes a companion of a fox on his journey).
From Oda's SBS we know that he also carried roses as a child and in a cover page we see him tending to a garden of roses with Farul, his vivre card lists roses as his favorite food, making it clear that Cavendish and roses is imagery Oda is intentionally/continuously associating him with.
Knowing this all; I propose that Cavendish's character is partly inspired by The Little Prince (the novel/character) in his design, own emotional makeup having aspects of various figures in the book, and the tapping into child-like wonder described above as the Little Prince's narrator is a man at risk of losing that imagination, as multiple adults seen through the stories pages already have.
Also:
-The stars on his pants are similar to the stars on the little princes coat which is also similar to Cavendish's coat
-They both use rapiers
Tumblr media
It makes me wonder what Cavendish's childhood was like; if there was any lonliness, whether there's anything to be said abolut the potential of "taming" Hakuba and growing in self-love/past his obsession with uniquness.
Of course there's much more to his character than a single inspriation and differences to see between him and The Little Prince but I'll definitely keep the story in mind going forward.

We know absolutely nothing about Tristan but the fact that he swore to come back one day and technically did is so iconic of him and he took two knights back with him.
Would have took uther too if Merlin was able take the sword back. Omg imagine and it’s not like he would have stayed any longer because he just wanted revenge on uther. Then Arthur could have been king earlier and it lowkey would have been more legend accurate because Arthur takes the sword up after uthers death and becomes king. Oooh and gaius could have told him the truth sooner leading into the golden age actually happening.
Might write this into a fic I’m really bad at it so we’ll see.

A little character study I did a while ago, trying to figure out new ways of painting, style changes while remaining more on the realistic side... And sword props, 'cause I LOVE drawing swords.
(And I made up the thing written on Excalibur, I know the Legend says it's "Take me Up/Cast me Away", but I wanted something more tied to Arthur's character and why he's the only one who can wield it)
King Arthur and his Knights are one of my favourite stories, so I wanted to work on some ~character designs~ for them (a little d&d-ish like...?)! Working as well on presentation and something I'd enjoy having on my portfolio/doing as a character comission/project/first draft.
Also, tried to test some different layers while colouring, ended up with a sort of vitral looking thing for him:
Tumblr media
Which I also enjoyed a lot :3
Now, regarding character and clothes and all - and some of my takes on Arturian Legend, and just me being a big Arthur and his Knights fangirl overall, under the cut ^^
When it comes to King Arthur, I enjoy more the historical findings and more modern retellings that Arthur would have been a war general, not a king, around the 5th century - fighting saxons on the bloody fiedls of Britain while praying to pagan gods. So that's the direction I'm going for here - even if I took some ~historical liberties~ regarding how everything looks.
(alsooo BIG DISCLAIMER: I'm a product of catholic school and I have a personal beef with all the religion/God/catholic values of the ~legends~ hence why I prefer seeing all of them as a bunch of normal guys surviving the drenched in blood politics of the 5th century rather than chaste, virtuous knights of the 11th century - it's a personal stance, you are more than welcome to disagree in a civilized manner ^^)
Here we have him then: Arthur, uncrowned king of Britain, probably Uther's bastard son, one hell of a war general and politician dealing with the saxons and pulverized british kings fighting for the Great King crown - who just dreams of having a normal life in a nice place with Guinevere and watch his sons grow in a land with peace and justice.
Oh, Arthur, my sweet summer child, I've got news for you...
I Used red on him as a more ~regal colour~, even if usually purple are more the colours of kings and royalty (historically speaking, as far as I know, I'm not really a historian T-T).
Now, a lot of his armor - and looks - comes from Bernard Cornwell's The Winter King book series, that is about Arthur and his Knights. I remember reading Arthur's appearance in a field of war for the first time and my own imagination had me in awe of how stunning (heroic like, not beauty like) he was HAHAHAHA
Shiny dragonscale armor, white vests, white cape, bright sword, mounting on a white Shire Horse (one of the biggest horse breeds ever) that only he and his Knights mounted, making them famous for it... A vision, to say the least!
The white cape and clothes didn't work for this design though. I wanted to make a white cape, dirty with mud and blood, but overall, not good for the design. Went with red because it looks better, it's a royal looking colour for me and it has that blood thing. Arthur might have been fair and with great morals for his time, but he was a killer drenched in blood, head to toes, just like every other great war general.
I want to make a series of Arthurian Legend related illustrations and such, so this is the Arthur I picture and the one I've always had in mind: idealistic, fighting for peace and justice, suffering a lot in a world where blood and corruption is the accepted currency; but even so, he won't abandon his own values and will keep fighting for a better Britain, even if he has to coat himself in the blood of his enemies.
After reading a LOT on Arthur and his Knights - be it classic Arthurian Legend tales, Le Mort D'Arthur, Mists of Avalon, all the Arthurian movies ever made, researches, university talks on Arthur as a character and who were the historical figures he was based on, Bernard Cornwell's books, and a bunch of other stuff told ya I'm an Arthur fangirl :') - I decided to work on my own take of the story, as a lot of people have done before.
Whenever you see any illustrations from me, it's going to be this idea I have in my mind of how his story was like - and what I would've liked to see in books/movies on Arthur and his Knights :)
just you wait for my Lancelot and my Guinevere

HOW THE TURN TABLES IT IS 101 TIME WITH FLUFFY :D
ok so
bbc merlin is actually called “The Adventures of Merlin” but everyone just calls the show bbc merlin bc it was aired on bbc and the protag is Merlin (also the intro to the show says Merlin name every episode so we all just agreed that the show was called Merlin and forgot the real title)
anyway
you know Merlin? great, powerful wizard Merlin? the old dude with the felt robes and pointy hat that’s in Arthurian legends?
so imagine that guy is young, a brunet, and the personal manservant to a Prince Arthur and now must keep this suicidal/sword-ho blondie alive in order to fulfill his destiny as the Once and Future King because a dragon under the castle told him
through the eyes of this younger and adorable and smashable Merlin, we get to watch as Arthur grows from a selfish and lonely prince to an honorable and compassionate king (no longer living his father’s legacy but his own), AND we get to watch Merlin’s friend Gwen grow to become a confident and powerful queen of Camelot. AND!!! AND!!!! we get to watch Morgana become the nemesis she is in the legends (I have my own transgressions on certain decisions made for her corruption arc but this is not the 101 for that)
long story short: Merlin and Arthur begin the show as reluctant not-so-friends and end the show the closest of friends and Merlin still never told Arthur his magic until his dying breath and we celebrate this end every Christmas (bc that’s when the series finale ended)
annnnnnd scene
oooooooo
are any of the other knights of the round table there or is it just arthur merlin and gwen? (i mean merlin and gwen aren’t knights either but i just woke up so)
and merlin really never told arthur about his magic? damn
