Summer is here! Where did the time go, eh? Us Mods are gathering once again as we crawl out from our hibernation. We're wiping the sleep from our eyes, well-rested and ready to plan this year's whumpfest!

Keep an eye out for graphic updates, a refreshed FAQ, and of course, your chance to pick your favorite tropes to be included in this year's list!

We hope your blorbos have had a relaxing summer, because Whumptober is returning soon!

Alright it's that time of year again...

Arthuriana August

An art, writing, playlist making, gif-ing, edit creating and anything else challenge based on Arthuriana!

The challenge officially runs from August 1st to the 31st, put things in the tag #arthuriana august and/or @caer-gai and I'll reblog it! Now, for what you're really here for: the prompts!

OC Week (1-5) : This week we celebrate the time honored tradition of adding your own little guy to the legend! Create something to do with your Arthurian OC, or a character original to another work (ie Brian from The Adventures of Sir Lancelot)

Child's Play (6-10): Kids! They're cute, they're lovable, and in Arthuriana they're often traumatized! Create something about your favorite arthuriana character as a child and/or your favorite "next generation" Arthuriana character!(i.e Gingulain, Kelemon)

Variety Pack (11-15): Look I get it, swords are cool as fuck, and if you're like me they might be the safest bet for a weapon you can draw. But there are soooo many cool weapons out there, so this week I challenge you to create something that contains at least one weapon that is not a sword. (Bonus points for each additional weapon /j)

Ye Olde Arthurian Tale (16-20): Time to go back to the classics! Create something directly inspired by a medieval Arthuriana piece! (I'll count anything before 1600 here yes I know that's not all the medieval period don't come for me)

Arthuriana.com (21-25): It's the far flung future year 2025, and we are still obsessed with our silly little knight stories! Create something inspired by a retelling (1600-present, for the purposes of this) OR create something for a modern/reincarnation/futuristic AU.

I Can't Believe It's Not Arthuriana! (26-31): This week we dive into the wonderful world of arthuriana adjacent stories, anything from contemporary (Biscarvet, The Song of Roland) to modern (Knights Tale(2001)) and even parody and satire (Don Quixote, Monte Python and the Holy Grail).

Rules:

You can create anything you want! (Please no AI)

NSFW and gore are allowed, just tag appropriately! I will use discretion while reblogging

I will be checking the tag and reblogging between August 1st and August 31st 2025! Feel free to post before or after that time frame if you need to, but I might not see it if you don't tag me

MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF THE WHOLE CHALLANGE: have fun! Don't push yourself too hard this is a silly and fun thing! Take the time you need, just tag me when you're done. I run these because I like seeing what you make

As always send me asks/notes/DMs/page boys with any and all questions! I'm happy to help=)

See y'all in August!!!

“What is thine gender?”

“I am a knight”

“indeed, but art thou lord or lady?”

“A sworn tool and weapon of my house in equal measure”

“prithee, what is within thy codpiece?”

“fealty to mine leige lord”

Don't you just love it when the team get captured and it's revealed that Whumpee has met Whumper before.

The twisted delight in Whumper's voice when they say "Oh, has Whumpee never mentioned me?"

The shame burning in Whumpee's face as Whumper recounts the fun they used to have together.

The confusion, disbelief, and horror on the teams' faces as the truth unfolds.

Praise for THE MOONLIT KNIGHT!

THE MOONLIT KNIGHT, my first book in the ELEGY OF AN EMPIRE series, is coming out 1st July 2025!

The Lady of Ruby was a beautiful dream from which Sir Gawain never wanted to wake. King Arthur's famous nephew, Sir Gawain of Orkney, Knight of the Round Table, is known by many names: Hawk of May, Dawnbreaker, Maiden's Knight. With great acclaim comes even greater expectation. When a challenge from Persian knight Sir Gromer Somer Joure draws Gawain east of the Mediterranean Sea, a new confrontation arises from Gromer's outspoken sister. The Knight of Maidens' reputation could be his undoing. Zoroastrian widow Osti Mahtab, granddaughter of Iran's revolutionary Mobed Mazdak, detests violence. And the men who make names for themselves through it. While long resigned to her devout life within the Old City's walls, she would sooner die than admit her little brother's challenger to the inner sanctum uncontested. Yet by forestalling this game of blows betwixt paladins, has Mahtab inadvertently entered the fray herself? In this retelling of The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle, Persian mythology clashes and mingles with Arthurian to create a new and exciting tale of romance, self-discovery, and fantasy. THE MOONLIT KNIGHT marks the first installment of the ELEGY OF AN EMPIRE epic that promises to entice old and new fans of the legends for years to come.
