Prompts for Plance x Kallura Week 2018 (11/01/18 - 11/07/18)

Since so many great suggestions were given, each day will have two prompts to choose from (or you can combine the prompts if you’re able to to)!

Day 1 (November 1st): Secrets // Surprises

Day 2 (November 2nd): Youth // Parenthood

Day 3 (November 3rd): Sunset // Moonlight

Day 4 (November 4th): Body Swap // Role Swap

Day 5 (November 5th): Cooperation // Competition

Day 6 (November 6th): Garden // Desert

Day 7 (November 7th): Sleepover // Double Date

REMINDER: This week is for both couples so make sure your works reflect them as equally as possible. For instance if you’re writing a fic we don’t want to see Kallura ft. Plance or Plance with background Kallura. Give both of them lots of love!

ALSO: If you don’t think you’re good with fics or art (or simply don’t have the time) but want to contribute we will absolutely accept your headcanons, metas, playlists or anything else as they relate to the prompts!

Weird Medieval Marginalia

So I got to see an epically cool manuscript of Arthurian romance (Beinecke MS 229), written in French sometime in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. It contains many fully illuminated illustrations, but the most interesting thing about it turned out to be the marginalia.

All the big images were the same kinds of scenes of knights fighting, people going into or out of buildings, people lying in bed, occasionally people on boats or talking, etc. After a while they just felt repetitive. But there are these little cartoons in the margins, and they are WILD:

I mean I don’t even know what’s going on here.

Apparently knights fighting snails appear in a lot of manuscripts. We have no idea what they mean. Might be the medieval version of a meme.

What even is that gray thing?

Knight riding chicken.

Derpy horse.

A very weird-looking unicorn.

Rabbits hunting people. (RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!)

Balancing act.

Baby Yoda in the corner there.

WHAT

There’s plenty more, but that’s as much as I can fit into one post. And this is all one manuscript!

I have a nEED FOR LANCE TO REALIZE HOW BEAUTIFUL PIDGE IS

Also idk what came over me, I woke up this morning after having an amazing Plance dream (which i cant remember) and felt the need to animate this.  So yeah i literally spent 12 hours straight making a five second clip…… I regret nothing XD

there's a (justified) focus on that one particular illustration from le Roman de la Rose in the general public, but i feel like we need to talk about this one from the same manuscript (BNF français 25526) some more

don't ask me wtf is going on here

To those saying boycotting tumblr is dramatic and that not everyone cares about porn blogs:

Staff gives zero fucks about porn. They care that the iOS app was taken off after not listening to the users’ pleas for them to get rid of MAPS, nazis, child pornography, porn BOTS and other harmful groups.

I don’t give a fuck that they’re banning porn blogs BECAUSE they’re banning porn blogs. I’m mad because they’re pussyfooting the problem and scapegoating through innocent users that just want to be horny. They’re not going after the problem, they’re going after things that have, honestly, held up tumblr in its lowest moments.

If they want to fix the site, they should listen to their users instead of banning people who have marked their blogs as explicit, denounce underage people on their blog, and have done anything they could to abide by the rules to not be taken down. Maybe it’s time that staff learns that the site won’t last if they don’t serve the people that use it.

That’s the tea sis

reasons i would make a great medieval monk:

• aroace - no problem with a vow of celibacy and the idea of not being able to marry isn’t a concern for me personally

• autistic - a segmented day? separated by hour? with specific things to do in those times? excellent!

• big lover of bread and cheese

• do love a little sing-song and chanting in a rhythm soothes me

• love scribing shit

• love doing those silly ass looking flouncy letters

• one of my special interests is medieval religion. so. bonus.

• oh i need to be silent for bit? i already go non-verbal sometimes babygirl that's not a problem

• monk robes provide 0% body shape. it’s all rectangle. excellent.

Dwarf: what the heck is lightning?

Elf: enormous bolts of electricity from the sky that sometimes kill people or set forests on fire

Dwarf: ....

Elf: after they happen the sky roars at you

Dwarf: you're not selling me on this whole "living above ground" thing

Elf: ooh, let me tell you about tornadoes

Honestly... this is me. Getting all dolled up to go read a book.

I feel you, Francis Bacon.
