Master of Prospero- when he's a young adult. Before the Emperor found him.
I'm trying to learn about blurring some parts of my drawing and kinda enjoyed it?
(or ellian’s procrastinating so it’s time to talk about my favorite swords!)
The most famous of them all is Excalibur (or Caliburn depending on the text, however some argue that Caliburn is an entirely different sword) and i get it — it’s the sword in the stone, the sword that is proof of Arthur’s heritage and legitimacy over Camelot. What’s interesting is that a lot of other medieval texts (Layamon’s Brut and Wace’s Brut) describe Arthur’s childhood as one in which that he was always royalty, or at least, was aware of it — Malory’s Le Morte and possibly Suite du Merlin from the Vulgate (don’t quote me on this it’s been a year since I last read Suite du Merlin) discuss over how Arthur grew up alongside Kay under the tutelage of Sir Ector. Various different texts have different reactions towards Arthur pulling out Excalibur — some have it that the nobility fell in line right away and others have it in that there was ultimate discourse that erupted forth as there was disbelief that the squire of Sir Kay WAS the person who truly pulled the sword out, and thus, belonging to the throne.
That being said there isn’t much talk of Clarent, which is another sword of Arthur’s. Clarent is not a sword used to fight with — Clarent is the sword that Arthur uses to KNIGHT people with. It’s a purely decorative sword that is symbolic more than anything. And yet, THIS is the sword that Mordred (and sometimes Guinevere) steals in medieval texts and uses against Arthur at Camlann. THIS is the sword that Mordred swears his kingship on and his inheritance to the throne. The implications that it is a CEREMONIAL SWORD (that was thus used in the knighthood of Mordred itself) being used to kill Arthur is thus… it speaks a lot about the mortality of kingship and just how Arthur, at the end of the day, despite being king is also a man, and also one that can be disposed of, and that while Excalibur may have been the one to herald the start, it is Clarent, purely decorative and ornamental and political, is used once again to throw Britain into ruin.
Shoutout also to THE best swords though: Galatine and Secace. Galatine belongs to Gawain and is of equal power to Excalibur — the Lady of the Lake gifted it to Gawain as being the other half of Excalibur. Personally, it cements my own idea in that Gawain, Arthur’s beloved nephew and one of his most trusted advisors, was always meant to be his heir. Secace is Lancelot’s sword and in true Lancelot fashion he only named his sword because everyone else was and he didn’t want to be left out. The Red Hilt Sword (which belongs to Lancelot) is discussed here and here by my beloved friend Lou Gringolet.
Hour 6 of consecutive physics lectures:
there are so few of us now, night has fallen and all the world is numbers…
they have taken the coffee and the second floor…
footsteps sound in the corridor, they are coming…
we have completed the differentiation but cannot rest for long…
a professor moves in the dark…
we cannot get out… we cannot get out…

I'm gonna do some Uno reversing theorizing here y'all. I think Pyotr was gonna win this match. I also think he's won 98% of these Uno matches. @meo-htp made an in-depth post detailing the vamp's hideout.
Picture courtesy of Meo-htp:
One of the details was how their table has huge dents in it and a big bite out of it. Shitbeard has gnarly marks on his arm, so I think he's the one who made the dents in the table.
And I think Kevin was the one who took a chunk out of the table. He's the only one who has the most pronounced canines out of the four of them.
I originally thought it would be Ape Boy, but his teeth aren't..big enough for a bite like that. He couldve caused it due to his excessive hunger, but the others mentioned him "over feeding" so he shouldn't even be hungry enough to bite the table.
I believe Shitbeard and Kevin got into an intense Uno match and now it was Ape Boy and Pyotr's turn.
Ape is clearly looking at Pyotr waiting for him to make his turn, thinking he's 100% gonna win. He's only got one card left in his hand while Pyotr has three.
Unfortunately for Ape Boy, this is a 2 way game. Meaning all Pyotr has to do is use his skip turn card, use the change colour card to red, then put down his red card. Winning him the Uno game.
It just makes me think about how much stuff Pyotr could plan out and his ability to think ahead when he's calm.
I wish I was creative enough for this site. Want a fun fact?
