"I'll turn you into my puppet queen" Is such a goddamn line. Sleep Token knows what they are about. I am vibing with Ascensionism.

Yeah ok.

So I actually wasn't ever planning on doing a wing analysis for Lancelot since they're not...real... Like they're not a normal part of his body, he only has wings when he wants to and since it's a transformation he gets to choose what they look like... But it turns out his choice might be for a reason so let's go.

But first, as always, links to the other wing analyses; Harlequin Helbram (add 1) Gloxinia (additional) Dahlia Elaine General (add 1) (add 2)

Lancelot has a very standard wing type. They're like the third most common wing structure, the second most common vein configuration and the actual most common color. That being; a standard two set(upper and lower), a large/small cell vein config, and being more or less colorless, or white since Fairy wings are never as transparent as colorless insect wings.

They are consistent between his model in Grudge of Edinburgh and the Four Knights of the Apocalypse manga. So there's that anyway.

So they're consistent and they're very uninteresting. And, as I prefaced, that's on purpose which is the only reason I'm making this post.

Why did Lancelot choose these wings? Because there is one abnormality in Lance's choice. They're small.

It's been established that wing size corresponds to magical power in Fairies. And while we're still figuring out what all Lancelot can do, it's clear that he is very powerful. So why are his wings so small? That comes down to his personality and the place he's fit himself into in the world he lives in.

Lancelot is an assassin.

He spent the first 48 chapters disguised as a nearly powerless little red fox, doing everything in his -considerable- power to appear harmless, if not helpless. Working very much behind the scenes and very much under cover to keep Percival and his group alive till they got to Liones, without interfering with Percy's own growth and decision making.

He went out of his way to be unassuming and perceived as weak and inconsequential. A fine edge for an assassin to have, being able to totally and completely catch your target off guard like that. This can be further reinforced by his first Fairy appearance in the manga. The first time he appears as a Fairy, he actually chose this form

Which is...uh...yikes... But it was very deliberate. So much so that he actually explains, so I'm not even extrapolating.

(Tumblr did not like me putting these images next to each other no matter what :p)

The analysis for that set of wings can be summed up as "literally the most common wings in the Fairy Clan, literally". And also unimpressive size-wise.

And Lance pretty well straight-up tells Malascula, and by extension us, that he chose that form to throw her off.

lost power for five hours last night WHILE sick AND it was dark and i was soooo bored 😩 tried to nap to no avail. had my candles going and was doing a crossword by flashlight but there's only so long before that becomes annoying. so i dug out one of my old i spy books i haven't looked at since childhood and spent like 45 minutes finding all the objects. it actually turned out to be the ideal way to experience that book, because the flashlight beam forced me to focus my attention on small parts of the image at a time. went back to twiddling my thumbs after that but at least it killed 45 minutes.

not bad i think. the light pink hibiscus and petal of the same shade are not great looking but i'm not sure why and the flower is still sticky but otherwise dry? not sure what to do... the stems dried better than i expected, they're not as fragile as you'd think. i love the hellebores, exactly what i wanted them to be like. the choisya/mexican oranges are sooo cute, there's a very faint scent from them. the leaves look exactly the same. the purple pansy is basically perfect in my heart. something fucky happened with the iris petal literally all the color leached into the paper and now it's transparent?? did not expect it to have so much water and this didn't happen with anything else. the dark hibiscus dried really good, their colors are still bright but bc of the shape of the flowers they look a little weird i did struggle trying to arrange them.. the dogwood looks good too, the veins of the flower rlly pop and it looks a lot better than the other pale pink petals? same with that other big flower on the same page. i forget what it was though. it might be because the petals are less fleshy. pink pansy is falling apart im soo sad but i can probably... glue... idk. those smaller flowers in the corner are a bit fragile im scared to move them but they're pretty!! they were kinda old and falling apart already when i picked them so i had to manually arrange the petals around the core but they're staying so far. now i just gotta figure out what to do with all of these. i want to make pngs!! make cards!! im gonna see what's blooming still tmrw!!
