Hey all,

Normally, I would never consider asking something like this, as I prefer to do things like reading or giving short humorous lectures to earn a little extra. I don't have that option right now.

Our cat, Serendipity ('Seren') has recently been crying when eating solid food due to pain, probably tooth related. He's had a visit to the vet, and there's a possibility he needs to go under and have teeth removed. This isn't a cheap service by any means, and right now, I don't know how to do this. The vet does not offer payment plans via installments, so that's right out.

If anyone can and would be willing to help us contribute toward keeping our cute and evil animal companion around for a bit longer, please consider donating to the Ko-Fi above. If you are a DM or player of a TTRPG, and would like to get something in exchange, rather than donate to my Ko-Fi, please consider buying yourself something from my wife's DriveThruRPG store, where you can find system agnostic lists useful for games set in fantasy, sci-fi, historical, and much more.

If you are more inclined toward pins, jewellery, wax melts and other personal items, and would like to contribute, please consider her other store, which has all sorts of TTRPG inspired items, and lovely LBGTQ+ accessories as well.

Donating to/purchasing from any of the above, helps keep this little furry ball of evil up and continuing to conquer the world using his adorable fuzzy face.

Thank you for reading through this, and if you do make any contributions, by donation or purchasing something for yourself, thank you again for your support.

The third wish :)  I kinda liked the visual of Arthur (he’s younger than in the show) making his wish.  It’s a portal that will send him through time.  Kilgharrah is the jinnie.

Hey Tumblr !

If you happen to know french-speaking people, please share the tale, we need your help ! Also, don't hesitate to DM or ask us anything, we're here to serve.

We're also on Instagram and Facebook for more infos on our quests.

Where is my older Knight that calls me "kid" in a vain attempt at trying to keep distance between us?

[holygrailknights]

I completely agree, thank you so much.

That's Gawain indeed ! Thomas Malory's gawain.

Lancelot is also a great example of "I'm really trying to be flawless and good, putting so much pressure on myself that sometimes I just go full berzerk : time for a killing spree"

So, I would have to guess they're complex characters and figures... And that the truth lies in-between two extremes. On this point, fiction and reality have much in common.

Fiction: "Knights were always honourable and just men, who fought their foes in open battle with grace and dignity." Fact: "Open battles were rare, costly, and stupid. Most of their actual work involved pillaging grain, setting things on fire, murdering peasants, and acting in peacetime as the big stick whenever their lord's subjects got any ideas above their station."

I didn't realise I had become a blog for the cynics that have been re-reading A Song Song of Ice and Fire...?

Not really sure what else to say to this, it's not an ask, it's more a cynical rant, with the actual truth being in the middle.

Oh, to be a heavily armored knight charging with my brothers across an open field for the defense of those behind me...

T’is the dream, is it not, friend anon?

[holygrailknights]

Well, said the haut prince, this day must noble knights joust.

- Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte d’Arthur

Best game, best protagonist, best good boys 👑⚔

I’m back and somehow it’s with video game fan art?? Who would’ve thought

Anyway here’s the sweet prince and his big fluffy boy

[holygrailknights]

Oh i LOVE this movie ~

How is this not a meme yet ?? A gif at least

Some of everyone's favorite knights : Mordred/Galahad !

The King's son : Mordred's knighting.

Under a dragon hanging, no less for the king's son... That green light foreshadows something tragic, though.

From left to right : Sir Agravaine, Sir Gawain, Sir Lancelot, Mordred, Queen Guenevere, King Arthur.

Best Knight Bested : Lancelot is unhorsed by a white knight, actually his son. He cries out of joy, happy to have such a great child-knight.

Lancelot and Arthur have sort of a reverse way to deal with their child, Lancelot being super proud and Arthur... well, not so much.

Hope you like those two young knights !

If you'd like to support young knights, you can buy prints of the new illustrations (and more) right here !

Two more black & white traditional drawings !

First image : The Green Knight is the antagonist from the middle english chivalric romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Definitly an arthurian story worth reading ! As for our hero, Sir Gawain, the belt that shields him prevents his death... at great cost, for he lost honor getting it.

Second image :

Meet Galéhaut, the giant king who gave up his crown for the love of Lancelot. He even became a knight of King Arthur, his former opponent. He is taking Lancelot out of the battlefield and hopefully, out of love's grasp, but Lancelot was badly injured on that matter... And that's a tragic story for poor high prince Galéhaut ! (He deserves some love)

Done for Inktober... And not posted because... Knights are just incredibly lazy ?

Anyway, your beloved lazy knights are also on Instagram !
