Cool, Thanks!!

Cool, thanks!!

Sorry if this is a question you have answered before, but what versions/adaptations of the Arthurian legend would you recommend? My main entry point has been The Sword and the Stone (both book and movie) and The Darkness is Rising, and I'd love to explore others.

hi!! I'll link a response to a previous similar question here but i generally recommend reading more medieval texts i think to get a better feel for arthuriana as a whole! so you can understand where adaptations are going with the medieval stories they're based on. sir gawain and the green knight is a nice and easy place to start w medieval lit if you're looking for a story that's not too complicated and hard to follow. it's kind of fun i think. knight of the cart (by chretien de troyes) is also fun. le morte d'arthur (thomas malory) is kind of one of the most famous medieval king arthur texts comprising a lot of the big adventures of him and his knights etc but i personally find it very very hard to get through chronologically (and it kind of works fine to hop around generally). actually if you would like an adapted version of it that's a little more readable and easy to follow i'm reading john steinbeck's version right now (the acts of king arthur and his noble knights) and it is seriously such a blast. very fun and i am just such a steinbeck fan so i love his writing. he never finished it but he adapted a good chunk of le morte and it is just an absolute delight to read. highly recommend :) but anyway there's no wrong way to get into arthuriana so these are some jumping points but follow ur heart. hope this helps!

the ache of nostalgia

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

as much as i understand being a hater you have to offset that shit with genuine, sincere enjoyment & wonder sometimes lest YOU become the one who is corny. and sad. imo.

I’m just thinking about how many times I’ve heard my dad on a long call with an obvious scammer and I’ll start begging him to get off the phone because I always think he’s a very easy mark and he’ll just keep going and then after a while he’ll say something like “I died 20 years ago” and hang up.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

biggest mindfuck is the fact that it can be so so difficult to tell the difference between when it's time for "do it bored/scared/stupid but by jove just do it" and when it's time for "if it sucks hit the bricks"
