#the hanged man rusts

[kulttuurinkurittama]

Aside from the great round table of the town hall and the fierce-looking seat at its helm, there was one other thing that had been in Camelot since before history: the Hanged Man.

It's honestly barely short from a miracle that I hadn't drawn Merlin yet, like the vibes are so up my alley. Finally did it, and I'm glad that I did. I haven't loved loved my art in a while but this I do.

if a beautiful man made of brass tied up and hung upside down told me to go sit in the chair that makes you scream and die. lets all be real here

There was one other thing that had been in Camelot since before history:

I love the Drumb so much look at him!!

Image description under the cut!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

A digital drawing of Drumbot Brian as the tarot card The Hanged Man. Brian is a brass coloured masc presenting robot with obvious seams on his face plates and hands. His hair is curly and shoulder length, and a slightly more orange colour than his body. He has moderate facial hair in the same colour as his hair. There are signs of oxidation all over his body. He's wearing a white shirt with a brown stripe patterned waistcoat, with dark brown pants and brown shoes. All his clothing has holes and tears in different places. On his chest there is a big tear, revealing an ambigram of Brian/Merlin engraved in his right breast. He is holding a red banjo with 1 loose string.

He has closed eyes and a slight smile, seemingly at peace.

He's hanging upside down and there are copper coloured ropes around his leg which he is being held up from. There are also ropes around his hands, binding them to his banjo. There is one rope around his neck, loosely hanging upwards. The rope comes together at the top and is bound to a gallows-like construction, the rope hanging around all the support beams.

The background is a sandy gradient from dark rust red to a lighter reddish sand. There is a soft glow emitting from Brian's body, and sunrays come from behind the gallows. There is a dark brown border and around that crinkly yellow/orange paper, with the words "THE HANGED MAN" underneath, in a faded, typically western font.]

The Hanged Man Rusts in a Nutshell:

Brian: Don’t be racist

Gawain: No

Brian: Your son is trans

Arthur: That’s literally impossible

Brian: Go sit on the chair that kills people

Galahad: I have literally been waiting for this my entire life

[kreature-ofthenight]

Diversity Win: The hanged man that has been here since before time refuses to misgender you when talking to your dad who thinks you´re dead and dosen`t know you transitioned, wich leads to him not recognising you still believing him a false prophet and dooms you all to a firery death

Everyone draws Brian/Merlin hanging tied up upside down

[cr0wl33]

[majorshatterandhare]

I think “I hear what you say and I’m listening / But hanged man your words make no sense” pretty well sums up what my dog thinks when we tell her to back up or sit down. She understands the words, but she doesn’t care and will continue doing what she wants.

music ask! 6: A song that makes you want to dance & 11: A song that you never get tired of

6: Shut Up and Dance by WALK THE MOON, it just really is a great dancing song for me, it's so bright and fun.

11: Toss up between The Hanged Man Rusts by The Mechanisms and Curses by The Crane Wives

The Hanged Man Rusts always gets me thinking about fathers and sons, the cycle of violence, and some of my favourite tropes in tragedy and Arthuriana. The line "I have no son dead or alive / It’s true that I once had a daughter / But she fell to barbarian knives" also gives me weirdly good gender feelings. Even though it's about Arthur not realising that Mordred is in fact his son, and that his lost child is a trans man... I don't know, for some reason it just feels like good gender to me.

Curses by The Crane Wives is something I can listen to over and over. After the Magnus Archives finale, I put that song on repeat. Something about it reminds me of Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, a song that I listened to over and over again when I was a teenager.
