realised last night that I was supposed to put the kay and bedivere stickers back up on my shop last week and just clean forgot with everything that's been going on, so I will do that today!

hi fran! today I bring you a tale of joy. a year ago I bought some of your stickers, including "oh gringolet we're really in it now", knowing i was about to start writing my diss on sggk. then! disaster struck! whilst moving house i lost track of the stickers and thought they were lost forever. i turned in my diss two weeks ago, without the accompaniment of "oh gringolet we're really in it now", yet i persevered. yesterday, joy of joys, my partner found the stickers again whilst sorting through some boxes!!! the stickers are now on my laptop :))) very happy about this development.
ohhh that's so lovely ;A; i'm so glad you found it again! and congrats on handing in your dissertation, that's wonderful! and how cool to get to write your dissertation on sggk :D thanks so much for telling me and so sorry I took forever to reply, I'm very scattered at the moment (well, all the time tbh, but particularly lately haha) I hope you have many happy times ahead with your stickers by your side <3333

the green knight and gawain and gringolet stickers are back in stock now!




hey folks, little shop/life update! I've mentioned before that I was making a little handmade zine for my cat and i have in fact finished it! which turns out to be good timing because my little guy is having surgery on his back leg this coming wednesday to deal with a lesion that is refusing to heal and uhh, yeah the vet fees are a lot even with the vets trying to reduce costs, so if any of you would be interested in a silly little zine about my cat, and maybe a wee print or a sketchzine to go with it you can find it here on etsy! Please note that the processing time will be a bit longer than usual since I'm going to be printing and hand binding each zine to order, but I'll try and get them out ASAP
there is also a digital version which includes the mini-zine here on my kofi
in another update the green knight and ruin prints are back in stock again and there are actually a couple of the green knight prints in a5 too if you want to snag 'em quick while they're there


#i will also have the bedivere and kay stickers back up soon but i need to rephotograph them because i changed the designs slightly#i have also made the gawain and gringolet sticker slightly bigger!

thinking about how the fact that gawain and gaheris are so close and gaheris kills their mother could be so interesting if it were in the hands of an author who is not a coward who either passes the buck to a different character or makes morgause outlandishly evil or twisted to justify her murder. like coming to terms with the fact that your brother murdered your mother is such a monumental thing to process, and when you consider the circumstances there's so much to think about in terms of toxic masculinity and misogyny. there is so much that could be explored in this single episode of arthuriana and time after time authors are just unwilling to go the distance and do anything thoughtful with it. like what the actual fuck is going on in gawain's mind throughout this entire thing. what was going on with gaheris and morgause. what the hell is up with this entire family. what is wrong with them. and why is the answer always a tired 'well what if morgause is just evil'. like cmon. have some imagination
#also#i just think it's interesting that people tend to assume the power dynamic between morgause and gaheris is balanced in her favour#when in many real life instances of sons murdering their mothers#you're seeing women trapped with abusive sons not knowing how to get help until it's too late#and like ok it's arthuriana it's just stories but man i think there's a lot of stuff that could be explored here#reblog locking this as i do with all my potentially controversial thoughts because i am cowardly and i don't want to fight anyone lmao

Information for anyone who wants to make a donation in support of Ukraine:
Hospitallers - Ukrainian volunteer medical battalion, which provides first aid and evacuates wounded Ukrainian soldiers
Ukrainian charity fund "Come Back Alive"
Ukrainian charity foundation of Serhiy Pritula
United24 - the official platform for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine
Sternenko Foundation (drones for the UAF)
These are the main platforms that most Ukrainians (myself included) regularly use to donate to support our armed forces. Ukraine needs the military aid, because only through victory we can achieve peace. Russia's only goal is to destroy us. If russia is not defeated, there will be no future for Ukraine.
These funds buy vehicles for the evacuation of the wounded, thermal imagers, body armor and everything else our defenders need to survive.
Why you should NOT donate to the Red Cross
Any help, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you ❤️

Writing a King Arthur story and want it to have a medieval revival vibe so this is how Agravain looks. Melion is the other main character but I have no idea how he's going to look yet.

Hi everybody, a dear friend and I have made a petition for our local MP to vote against cuts to PIP (which is disability benefit in the UK), which is far she has confirmed she is voting in favour for.
This is like, genuinely so scary for people in the UK right now- especially North Wales where I am- because a higher percentage of people are on PIP here.
It would mean the absolute world to me if you could share and sign this petition. It's a change.org petition because this is for a LOCAL MP to change her vote, do NOT donate - this money won't go to me or my friend, it will go to change.org.
#oh man that reminds me i need to write to my mp#tho what i can expect from a former director of save the children who voted to keep the two child benefit cap + its adjacent rape clause...
