#lake caliburn

[seeminglyseph]

Man idk. Another wip tonight but it does resemble more a polished drawing than many of the last ones…

Like honestly Lake partially got top surgery for dysphoria reasons, but also because after like 25 big tits are just heavy and uncomfortable. When I don’t gotta carry them they are very fun to draw, so I am giving myself a treat in the form of some like solid H cups…

SatBK 2023 - Day 6 - Lake

Thought it would be nice having Sonic and Nimue catching up on the progress with a cup of tea by the Lake.

Day 3: Sword for SatBK week by @satbkpromptweek

Arthur’s having second thoughts even though he’s came all this way just to find the sword, and it looks like Nimue isn’t going to take “no” for an answer lmfao

(This also feels like a downgrade compared to the other two entries I submitted, but i hope you all like it nonetheless)

[antvnger]

Yeah, Excalibur was gifted to Arthur by Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, when Caliburn shattered in the middle of combat.

It also came with a scabbard that could cure any poison and heal almost any injury, but Morgana La Fey stole that from Arthur.

That’s so cool! Wow. I had no idea. Boy, you’re filled with a lot of neat information, aren’t you, History Anon?

Okay SO! I'm a fairy tale folklore mythology girlie and this episode of neverafter hits so fucking hard.

BUT when the Sword of Truth was first introduced as gold and gleaming and PIB said that it was used to cut wood, there was a moment after that where it cut to Brennan's face and you know what kind of face he fucking has when the PCs say something off the cuff that has relevance later on or something he never thought of but might work later on. you know the look

And it reminded me of the folk tale/fable of "The Honest Woodcutter" and I fucking know it's an Aesop's fable and the sword is called the Sword of Truth and I feel like I'm grasping at strings here (ha) but in the promo for ep 8 the sword is potentionally a person? So MAYBE just maybe hear me out, the sword is Aesop

"Sonic gets sucked into Camelot and wields the talking sword Caliburn. He kills King Arthur, who is revealed to be a fake created by Merlin. In the final battle, Caliburn transforms into Excalibur; afterward, Caliburn explains that the fact that Sonic is his wielder means Sonic is the true King Arthur."

"As a known supporter of trans rights, openly ACAB and constantly making people aware of bisexuality, I think Sonic would be exactly the king that England needs right now"

[emistations]

Hi, it's me agian. Saw the Amy Prime art you made and I thank you for making that, I love it. I had another idea in my head that forced me write this to you. It's a Sonic and the black Knight art idea about Amy being brought to Camelot (I think that's what it's called) instead of Sonic completely by accident.

I made this concept before hand and decided to revamp it!

So the gist of this what if:

Merlina, in a moment of deep grief over the loss of her grandfather, cast a spell to bring him back. The spell backfires since you're not supposed to bring back the dead, and it corrupts the sacred swords (minus Caliburn*).

It ends up corrupting their respective knights (Lancelot, Percival and Gawain), as well as King Arthur (who's Sonic in this case). They all chase down Merlina & Caliburn with a killing intent, but they escape. Cornered and in a moment of desperation, Merlina casts a summoning spell. She hopes for an otherworldly hero...

Who happens to be Amy! The poor girl who was waiting for her date to arrive! And so, she's pulled into Camelot to help Merlina & Caliburn purify the kingdom, using the magical "Armlets of the Lake", said to grant control over the Misty Lakes and their magic. If perfected, their wielder is to be referred to as the Lady of the Lake. And so, Merlina takes it upon her to help teach Amy how to use that magic, while Caliburn watches from shadows so that they would not be discovered.

Each Knight Amy purifies is a trial to test her control over the magic of the lake.

Note: * It turns out Caliburn was corrupted the entire time! He waited until Arthur was purified for him to unite with the scabbard, thus becoming a corrupted version of Excalibur. In his mind, Merlina is imperfect because of her mistake. Anyone who makes a mistake is imperfect and a threat to a perfect kingdom. He seeks to wipe out Camelot and rebuild it from scratch, eradicating any imperfections. He & Merlina swap roles in this AU, so he's the main villain. And is eventually taught that everyone is flawed, and that imperfection is a part of life.

I still really have no idea what I’m doing but it’s been a few hours and I need to... I think soak in the bath to reduce back pain.

I do not know how to paint.... his expression will probably look better when I actually give him an eye rather than avoiding it. and an eyebrow. I just wanted to do skin first and then... not skin.

Art Dump -- Lake, Rain and Gawain

[mistilteinn-magolor]

as i teased the other day,

introducing...

the Magolor and the Black Knight AU!!

the au where magolor gets summoned randomly appears instead of sonic in sonic and the black knight's world !! and gets betrayed by merlina i mean what

basic au synopsis below cut (also a logoless version of the drawing and the original cover image for satbk bc i redrew it for the drawing lol :3c):

magolor, in his epilogue rags, as this takes place instead of the epilogue, falls out of the sky just as merlina starts the summoning ritual to summon sonic, and magolor ends up saving merlina with the last bits of his full magic. he goes to fight king arthur as well, but his magic fizzled out to what had remained of it at the start of the epilogue. merlina takes him and flees, then explains everything (haha get it. get it lol. get it explains everythi).

the rest of the au pretty much just plays out like the actual game, with a few minor changes.

lancelot (shadow) is represented by meta knight

gawain (knuckles) is represented by dedede

percival (blaze) is represented by kirby

the blacksmith (tails) is represented by bandee

the lady of the lake, nimue (amy), is represented by lor. well, my hologram sona thing for her anyway, except organic (for the former thing, think nicole the holo-lynx from the sonic archie comics. i promise ill post what she looks like eventually alkjjkldsajkls)

nimue fixes magolor up new clothing, close to the same clothing he originally had, when he and caliburn visit her first

when magolor first sees the knights of the round table and the blacksmith, he starts apologizing profusely before realizing these aren't the same dream team he knew and hurt

when he sees nimue, he feels a faint sense of familiarity within her, but he can't tell why... then, later, if magolor eventually gets back to dreamland, when lor shows him her voice finally, he also thinks she sounds familiar, but just cant place his finger on how… then once lor unveils her hologram sona thing, magolor realizes. he realizes that nimue was the lor starcutter… and he promptly tells lor about nimue <333

magolor and caliburn retain the latter and sonic's relationship curve, from bickering and quips to friends/mentor and student

More info under the cut!

The Blacksmith:

Maoilios the Blacksmith, known as Smithy, is a 43-year-old two-tailed fox. He's the best blacksmith in Camelot and knows a thing or two about weapons. His knowledge and skills are very appreciated. That wasn't always the case, though. Smithy was very ostracized during his first years, as everyone seemed to think that a two-tailed fox would bring bad luck and curses. Smithy spent most of his time doing research and building swords, which made Arthur was curious about him. Not wanting to scare the fox away, he approached him in disguise and befriended him, nicknaming him Smithy for his blacksmith skills. After seeing that Smithy was just a lonely boy living in a burrow all alone, Arthur invited him to live with him. Smithy was very shocked to find out his new friend was King Arthur himself. Arthur worked hard to make sure no one saw Smithy as a bad omen and took good care of the little fox. It didn't take long for the two to form a close brotherly bond. Smithy really looks up to the king and admires him, even after 35 years.

Nimue:

Nimue is known as the Lady of the Lake. She is a magical fairy enchantress, who disguises herself as a hedgehog to be more approachable to mortals. She knows a lot about sacred weapons, and even gifts them to knights she deems worthy. She often has missions for knights, and Sir Percival especially likes to fulfill them. Nimue has grown quite fond of the knightess and looks forward to her visits. She is also the foster mother of Lancelot, who lost his family and home castle when he was just a little boy. Nimue took him in and taught him how to fight, eventually gifting him the sacred sword made from the stars, Arondight. And when Lancelot had his own son Galahad, Nimue naturally took the role of a grandmother, helping Lancelot take care of the young boy and looking after him when Lancelot had to go on his missions. She also taught Galahad to fight and gifted him a cinquedea which has telekinetic powers. While teaching fighting isn't the most conventional way for parenting, Nimue genuinely cares for both Lancelot and Galahad, and considers them her family.

King Arthur:

King Arthur Pendragon is the legendary king of Camelot and the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, as well as the alternate reality doppelgänger of Sonic the Hedgehog himself. He owns the sacred sword Caliburn which can transform into the legendary Excalibur. He can always be seen carrying its scabbard which was a gift from Nimue. The scabbard protects him, preventing any wound he receives from bleeding. His looks aren't the only thing that resemble Sonic – he's friendly and laid-back but can be short-tempered, has a strong sense of justice, and treats everyone equally. He's a skilled fighter, a fast runner, and the most powerful knight in the land. While he isn't as fast as Sonic is, Arthur is physically stronger than him. However, Arthur mysteriously disappeared three years ago, and no one knows what happened to him. The court isn't worried anymore, as Sonic's arrival's timing was just right – they believe Sonic is the lost king. While Sonic must pretend to be Arthur who has lost his memories, he also wonders what even happened to the king. Will he be back one day, and will Sonic be in trouble if he does return?

[peppermint-jade]

not at all what I normally post, but I just have to talk about this book. As an amateur Arthurian nerd who is slightly out of practice, this book was amazing. Now granted, the King Arthur Brainrot has been on the downlow for a bit for me, but safe to say I'm back into it. I picked it up on a whim and finished it in record time (I don't have the time/energy to read like I used to) so I know it's good. It's so refreshing to read something Arthurian by someone who gets it??? Like.... so much good stuff here. we have:

Kay centric narrative (!!!)

Historical accuracy for the 6th century! (mentions of no plate armor, accurate weapons, place names, romans, saxons, etc)

Galehaut (who I didn't even know existed but am now obsessed with. what do you mean he acted like a romantic rival to Gwenhwyfar??? (as her name is spelled in the book))

on that subject, queer Lancelot

Warrior King Arthur (who swears like a sailor and is depicted in a unique, almost negative light)

Glastonbury Tor as a central location (yes I know he was "buried" at the abbey but the tor is so iconic)

calling the sword from the lake Caliburn rather than Excalibur

Neutral Morgan le Fey/Morgana figure (sorta net positive I guess)

Christopher Marlowe is here

probably more stuff I'm forgetting tbh

anyways please someone go read this book. It's very good I promise. Especially if you're an Arthurian nerd. You can tell the author had all of this knowledge and decided to write about it, rather than an author who decided to write about an Arthurian topic then researched it if that makes sense.
