“Go outside and touch grass” well I can’t 🙄 A curse is on me if I stay my weaving, either night or day, to look down to Camelot

The Lady of Shallot by John William Waterhouse.Tate

[andalon-historian]

Book called "The Loves of Lancelot" that's in four parts:

1. Lancelot and Morgan, living at court as young people. They can keep up with each other mentally, socially, and have the same sense of humor; the few who notice, including Arthur, are very supportive. Morgan is jealous of Gwen, and tries to "win" Lance for herself, but Lance can't make the decision to leave Gwen and Morgan cuts it off.

2. Lancelot and Galehaut, living as soldiers during Arthur's conquests of Britain and the English. They are extremely codependent, and worship each other; most people are impressed Lancelot managed such a catch, and expect them to move away to live together in Gaul. Galehaut enables Lance and Gwen, playing wingman for them, and eventually he dies. Somehow. Haven't figured that part out.

3. Lancelot and Elaine, at court and in Astolat during the adventures. After the events of Lady of Shalott, Lancelot's touch miraculously resurrection her, and she worships Lance completely one-sidedly; the court begs Lance to go for the poor girl. She is completely oblivious to the Gwen situation, and eventually Lance cuts it off out of guilt.

4. Lancelot and Gawaine on the adventures of the Grail. They are long-time best friends, and know each other well, and slowly fall while isolated from court. Gawaine cities Lance and Gwen, and tries to be that person for Lance to stop him from going back-- and he keeps trying until Lance, after the boat ride with Galahad, goes back to Camelot.

The book ends as Lancelot has finally made a firm decision that he can't take back-- he kills his last lover's family, and he and Gwen ride away from Camelot as fast as his horse can take them, leaving behind-- for each other-- everything they are, and everything they know, and everyone else they love.

Murder In The Mews

A review of Murder in the Mews by Agatha Christie – 240801 Murder in the Mews, the eighteenth in Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot series, originally published in 1937, is a collection of three novellas and a longish short story. On the plus side there are four opportunities for the reader to be astonished by the acuity of her eccentric sleuth’s little grey cells but on the other hand they are…

Hey,

who in Westeros would wear Aesthetic dresses and those dresses you see in Pre Raphaelite paintings? (asking 'cause George has cited the Pre Raphaelites as one of his inspirations)

Pre-Raphaelite art is my religion and Edmund Leighton and John William Waterhouse are my gods

Obviously the Sansa-core of it all is very strong like the loose, long shapes, the floral motifs, the gentle haziness of it all... Sansa Pre Raphaelite stock are through the roof

Also young Cat and other riverlanders girls in general it's all very "lost in a dream" vibes if u get my drift. And hot take dare I say young Cersei at some of these...try and see my vision

Modern AU Lady of Shallot where instead of getting all her knowledge of the world from a magic mirror she just gets it from watching TV shows/movies, and instead of weaving a magic web she just writes fanfic

some branch of stars we see

Caleb Widogast is figuring his life out. He has friends now, a job he cares about, and can even – on a good day – have fifteen Bunsen burners turned on in his classroom, and not get pulled into the flames. What he does not have, is any experience training other teachers. Essek Thelyss is a prodigy, one of the Marble Tomes' foremost researchers, and the son of one of the Dynasty's most influential families—he is certainly not a teacher of children. And yet, somehow, he has ended up at a school on the other side of the border, with a list of publications as tall as he is and no classroom experience. All he knows when he arrives is information gleaned from the school's website, and the name of the person who will be training him—Caleb Widogast.

hey folks it's my teaching au! that has been in my head for... literal years now (before we even knew about the m9 epilogue). I have been planning this for ages, and since there are now two (2) chapters up I feel like I can actually share it on tumblr. enjoy!

it's a shame i have no idea which arthurian lit i read as a child because the image of a king unable to leave his castle because of an unhealing wound was so memorable and probably influenced me
