Knight and Kiss Divine - O Beloved, it is my dearest wish to be known only by you. To Partake in your laughter, to feel the leather of your scabbard, and become your flesh. To tread through the field where flowers were left kneeling under your gait, for mine road I hope to be illuminated by your radiance.

"As he rode thus through the land, he found trees down and grain destroyed and all things laid waste, as if lightning had struck in each place, [...] He found half the people in the villages dead, both bourgeois and knights, and he found laborers dead in the fields. [...] It was later called by everyone the Kingdom of Waste Land." — Vulgate Cycle: The Merlin Continuation

I bet it feels good as fuuuuck to slightly draw your sword with all the other knights in anger when a treacherous knave shows their face in the court

ok, i'm pretty curious as to what people's religious backgrounds are especially if you engage with arthurian medlit, which is suuuper super steeped in catholicism and christian mysticism.

personally, i grew up roman catholic myself and i went to catholic school my whole life. (i am filipino and i live in the philippines, just to give more context)

christian studies is mandatory in my country, even in university, so i'm taught in a lot of biblical lore and history. (this is on top of my personal niche interest in abrahamic mythology despite being an ex-catholic lol.) so navigating european medieval lit, from cultures i'm not entirely familiar with, is something i never had much difficulty in despite being southeast asian and never having stepped foot in those countries.

i don't identify as catholic anymore nor do i align myself with those beliefs, but having that upbringing does help me a lot in understanding a lot of medlit especially perlesvaus and vulgate. not completely just bc of how dense it is but it still helps!

of course, everyone is more than welcome to share their experiences in the tags/comments ^^ if your background isn't specified feel free to do so in the tags

reblog for bigger sample size 💕

Lancelot and Galehaut for "classics... but make it gay II" zine by Nova and Mali early version of this legend was deleted in later Arthurian books, so... I think it's important to remember how much how much LGBT censorship and erasure is still in many, many countries

At first I just wanted to draw the badger, but I couldn’t resist drawing more characters. The process of searching for references is so fun.

April Arthurian Showers!

A fanart fanfic fan creations challenge for the month of April! This is going to be a bit different from other challenges so make sure to read the instructions!

(I'll type them out below the cut <3)

So that's a lot of prompts! Good news is you don't need to do all of them (in fact i would encourage you not to do all of them unless you really want to).

This event is organized into four weeks (plus two free spaces) where each day has a prompt that goes with the theme! Instead of trying to do every single prompt, try doing at least one per week, or just doing all the ones that you like!

While each prompt corresponds to a day, feel free to post whenever, just say what day and prompt you're doing.

Additional rules:

Tag me (@caer-gai) and tag with April Arthurian Showers so everyone can see it!

Gore and nfsw is allowed, but please tag appropriately! I will use discretion when reblogging posts

No AI may be used in this challenge

Any fan media is welcome and encouraged! Fics and art may be more common in challenges, edits, gif sets, memes, web weaves ect are all also awesome!!

While I won't start reblogging posts until April 1st, feel free to post early, or late for that matter. Posting early or late will NOT effect wether your post is reblogged, just make sure to tag!

I concocted this whole thing in the space of two hours, so if anything is confusing or unclear at all please please send me an ask, comment, or dm!!
