gold-and-glittering:

Today I took Selina Hastings’ Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady to tutoring because my student (who is 8 years old) loves stories about knights and princesses, and it’s tough to get her to be enthusiastic about reading. It was the most entertaining thing ever…

Gift from the singer Heather Dale: free album to download

fuckyeaharthuriana:

We’ve made a new album of old favourites for you. It’s free (although if you feel like naming your price, we’d be very grateful!). All we ask is that you pass the album on. Think of someone who could use a pick-me-up and send them the gift of free music!

Please, reblog, so that more people can meet this wonderful singer and her music.

As a result from my last discussion where we were talking about arthurian blind casting. I think Merlin BBC is not enough, also because, ew, the characters, so now I want this. This is my cast. Not modern AU but fantasy-arthurian.
As you probably noticed Archie Panjabi and Taye Diggs are here too. Because I love them. They are my dreamwife and dreamhusband. Naomie Harris is here too because she is perfect. And Chiwetel Ejiofor is Gawain BECAUSE HE IS AND YOU CAN’T DENY IT.Warren Kole and Michael Ealy are Galahad and Mordred. What? Are you insinuating I decided to cast them as Galahad and Mordred because I am so superficial and obsessed that in this way I could watch Common Law thinking about a Gal/Mordred AU? You are right.
Gina Torres as Morgause Archie Panjabi as Morgan le Fay Alexander Siddig as ArthurRochelle Aytes as Guinevere Philip Winchester as LancelotRonni Jhutti as AgravaineElyes Gabel as GaherisTongayi Chirisa as GarethChiwetel Ejiofor as GawainMichael Ealy as MordredElaine Cassidy as LaurelChipo Chung as LynetteBingbing Li as LyonesseNaomie Harris as RagnelleWarren Kole as GalahadMorena Baccarin  as NimueMeera Syal as VivianDiane Kruger as Elaine of ShalottEdward Hogg as BercilakRobyn Lively as Elaine of CorbenicTaye Diggs as BedivereSimon Baker as KayAnthony Starke as DinadanChristine Adams as GuinevakRachel Weisz as lady Bercilak

So, lucrenoin posted this amazing Arthurian dream cast (Gina Torres as Morgause, and Taye Diggs as Bedwyr - I can’t even!), and then followed it up with a suggestion of an alternate universe steampunk-esque version of the legends.

I THINK I MUST DRAW THIS. I have a stack of about seven paintings/drawings I am currently working on (a mixture of Good Omens, Tortall, and 13th century Arthuriana), so it might take me a few days, but… this is going to happen. Yup.

Second version. With more.

I am a hostage that lives in Joyous Garde.

My best friend is Galahad.

My lover is Lancelot.

My enemy is Guinevere.

Mordred will kill me [for cheating on him with Lancelot].

Surprisingly accurate.  Or I guess I could be Arthur.
