everyone must go an watch the way on bbc right now!!
it's one of the best things i've seen in ages.
it's written and directed by welsh people. it's set and filmed largely in wales. it has a plethora of wonderful welsh actors and actresses. it's totally made by welsh people FOR welsh people.
i loved the pure welshness of it: the relations to the story of king arthur (orginally a welsh story); the feeling of hiraeth the whole time. i'm going to be thinking a lot about this mini-series for a very long time.
#it's so so so good#i'll never stop recommending or talking about it fr#escxelle#elle's interests hyperfixiations and shenanigans#the way#the way bbc#bbc the way#wales#cymru#welsh tv#hiraeth#<- adding the hiraeth tag to reclaim it back to being about wales#welsh#cymraeg#teledu cymraeg#king arthur#brenin arthur

A lot of debris has been washing up on the shores of Scuttle Town recently, probably from a storm somewhere far from there. However one shattered piece of a ship floating in the water is carrying a young man who lays unconscious on top of the board.
Shantae, the Half-Genie Hero of Sequin Land, and the Genie Guardian of Scuttle Town was out on her leisurely walk over to Sky's Hatchery, until she had noticed a young man unconscious at the shores of her town.
"Oh no! This poor man! I have to help him!" Shantae gasped as she rushed over to help him. She then brought him to her Lighthouse, for him to recover, and she waited for him to wake up.

I know I have problems, but when Homelander said “I’d prefer to be loved, I would. But if you take that away from me, then well, being feared is a-one okie doke by me” my pussy clenched so hard that Brenin Arthur couldn't pull him out me..."screaming"

ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?
I have indeed! Because Google is constantly spying on all of us, my news feed contains a lot of archaeological news, so I got several alerts when this first came out.

PHISICAL TRAITS
1'78, complexión algo delgada. Nunca ha tendido a ejercitarse, versándose en las artes de la magia antes que en las de la guerra como cierto discípulo que su padre nunca ha dejado de nombrar, Arthur Brenin.
Ojos rasgados de un castaño profundo, el color similar a los de un cervatillo. Tez blanquecina de haber echado demasiadas horas en la biblioteca, pero disfruta del sol en su piel. Cuida su apariencia al detalle pues sabe la importancia de esta, llevando siempre prendas de fina confección y porte elegante, normalmente de colores fríos e invernales decorados con filigranas doradas o plateadas.

“Oh, oh! Look at this one!” Arthur snorted, staring at his phone as he sat next to Merlin on the couch in the living room of their flat that evening. Merlin tore his eyes away from the movie they were supposed to be watching and raised an eyebrow at his boyfriend.
“What is it now?” He almost didn’t want to ask. When Arthur used that voice, it was almost always some bogus gossip story trying to either make them look bad, create a crazy affair for them, or somehow do both at the same time. He grimaced slightly, wondering which one of them and what it would be this time.
Arthur scooted closer and wrapped an arm around him, holding his phone between them so they could both read the screen. “Looks like you’ve got a secret girlfriend I didn’t know about! Who is this Freya Waterson, Merlin? I’m simply heartbroken!” He feigned distress, almost immediately killing the ruse by grinning stupidly.
-OR-
Arthur & Merlin, well-known actors who play leading characters Brenin & Gwyn in popular show Once & Future, have been together for eight years, everyone knows it! Well... They thought everyone knew it.
I literally love Gwyn's writing more than I love myself, which says a lot about my character, I guess.

lila's 2021 writing wrapped!! (i don't use spotify and i felt a little left out lmao) this has been my best and favorite year for writing, and i want to go over what i've written this year as well as tell yall what i have planned for next year. though we know thats very subject to change, since i can't stick to projects for shit and new ideas pop up like weeds.
projects i finished this year:
gold king, blue king (86k) the book i wrote and finished so i could query! i also did all the research/put together the querying materials this year. super, super proud of myself for that. it's very hard to keep going, but i'm trying.
a council of golden swords (96k) a book i had a sudden idea for while doing chores and decided to drop everything and commit. three months later, it was done as one of my proudest projects. this includes the in book short cyril's hell, which to this day is one of my favorite pieces i've ever written.
the order trilogy: order of the sun (72k), order of the ice (82k), and order of the phantom (81k) i wrote all three of these in about two months and it might be my proudest achievement of the year. i hit new personal bests for word counts in a day (my new record is now 11k!, and i wrote 25k in one weekend) and i learned so much about my process. just another project that proved nothing is beyond my reach.
when the witches call (112k and counting) am still editing this but i count it since i wrote 60k of it for nano. i know with more work i can make it exactly what i dream it is in my head, but i'm so proud of where it's at right now anyway.
brenin (44k) which i have been trying to finish for two years. i finished this literally in the first days of january but i'm still very proud.
i want it to be you, (23k) the camp nano project i honestly forgot about until now lmao
i also edited my first completed novel the ruby savior (113k) which included tense and style changes, and am halfway through editing the second and third books of that series up to my current standards
other things i wrote this year:
30k of of blood drawn, the third book in the revolution of nimath. also came up with the ideas and plot for those six books.
shorts for the adventures of the existential three (bailed on that but it's fine)
10k of queen artura and the knights of arrinshire, the queer king arthur retelling i've been trying to write for two years
11k of a game of golden wind, the wlw fantasy sports rivalry novel set in the acogs universe. very excited to eventually get back to this!!
a 6k short for the death of seret ashling, which i also kinda bailed on. endlessly proud of this too.
various thousands of words for the last three eingard series books
projects for next year:
edgelia and other poetry, a wlw tragedy inspired by the song of achilles and @aelenko's he called me finch
as the sea horn blares, a mlm romance with a side of crime family plot in which a traumatized crime boss falls in love with his therapist
the daughter of esla, book 5 of the eingard series. realllly hoping to finish at least one tes book next year. it's been a year and a half since i finished the 4th book, and i really want to see this series through.
queen artura
whatever else buckwild ideas hit me!
a massive, MASSIVE thank you to @magic-is-something-we-create for being the best friend one could have, fundamentally changing the way i create for the better, drawing my freakin characters like WHAT, listening to my endless fandom and writing rambles, reading my books, letting me read your book, and the everyday conversations. i love you dearly <3
another huge shoutout to @aelenko for answering all my querying questions and being an incredible force in the writing community, and for being partly the reason EAOP exists. your projects are incredible and you are endlessly inspiring. thank you <3
other huge thanks go to: @ashen-crest @47crayons @ettawritesnstudies @ren-c-leyn @worldbuildng @faithfire and so many more for supporting me as i write, loving my projects, and being wonderful pillars in writeblr yourselves. i love everyone in my little writeblr family so much. i am also about to hit 2 years on this hellsite, so i might have to do Something for that
speaking of, i also hit 1000 followers this year, and i just hit 1300 like yesterday, so thank you all so much for supporting me and reading my stuff!!
i talk about what i read this year under the cut, if you're interested in that!
this year i read (only including the ones i really loved):
pax's absolutely stunning book firebreathers, now one of my favorite books
the stormlight archive, which easily made it into my top 10 books ever
the first mistborn book
any way the wind blows by rainbow rowell, the incredible and mindblowing end to one of my favorite trilogies
one last stop by casey mcquiston, which had everything i loved about rwrb and was wonderful
rule of wolves by leigh bardugo
return of the thief by meghan whalen turner, the final book in my tied for favorite series ever. it was an incredible, tear jerking end
blood of elves, which met expectations in all the weirdest ways
empress of salt and fortune & when the tiger came down the mountain by nghi vo, a wonderful queer read!!

merthur fic recs: actor!arthur pt 3

~~~
kind of random but that scene where they were acting as brenin and gwyn made me squeal. i adore that subtle reference to the actual merlin show. their interactions with eh once and future fandom is also really cute and it made me smile soo hard.
2. world looks better by helloearthlings
The next night, there were already flowers in Arthur’s dressing room when he returned from offstage – daisies this time, a little classier than grocery store flowers. The note inside them was just signed –M but it made Arthur smile. When he got home, he added them to the slightly upturned bowl of water that was holding the last night’s bouquet.
The next night, they were daffodils. The night after that, they were tulips. The night after that, Arthur finally bought a vase.
~~~
i adore this fic so much. it’s so cute and fluffy and “you can’t possibly think i’m still asking about the part” made me squeal.
3. Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies by rageynerd (@rageynerd)
Arthur Pendragon, coined the prince of film, is more than unimpressed with Hollywood's latest rising star Merlin Emrys. He comes in with naivety and a chip on his shoulder and, when they're cast as co stars in the same movie, he is sure that Merlin won't last long.
Merlin can’t stand that absolute tosser, Arthur Pendragon, that everyone seems to love. But he must learn how to make peace with him if he can star alongside him for this many months— in a romance, no less.
They both plan on leaving each other alone and focusing on work until the fans decide they love them together, and in an act of good publicity, Arthur and Merlin must spend way more time together than either of them want.
~~~
ahhh the fake dating with mutual pining trope!!! i adore arthur’s inner monologue and pining in this fic. it’s so well written.

pov: 3rd person, multiple
status: first draft, worldbuilding as needed
summary:
Arthur Brenin was raised alongside Merlin Ambros, so when she got promoted to Captain and handed command of the exploration vessel, Excalibur, she knew exactly who she wanted as her Head of Science and Research.
Two years into their new commands, the Excalibur returns home to Avalon Station for routine upgrades to Cal, their onboard AI. The crew jumps at the chance to spend shore leave on Mars, while Merlin, on loan to the Artemis Research Centre, is ecstatic to reunite with his crew.
However, not all goes to plan.
With orbital defences set to minimal for Merlin’s final test flight, Mars is uniquely vulnerable. Vulnerable enough to lure thieves to their midst.
Now, Arthur must journey into the underbellies of the Three Galaxies in order to retrieve the technology stolen during the attack and, against orders, find a way to bring her best friend home. Meanwhile, Merlin, flung into the past during the battle, must scavenge resources in a technologically primitive time in hopes of making it home.

excerpt from the medieval au:
“In the interest of clearing the air, do I even,” Declan said, already rubbing his forehead in anticipation of what was to come, “want to ask? What lead to you coming back with no ordination, no Holy Orders, nothing but a pack of wild stories about ghosts and trying to revive Brenin Arthur and all that?”
“Simple. I dropped out.”
“Right. Because the monastery sent me a courier telling me you’d been expelled for heresy and other unseemly behaviour.”
“No, I dropped out. On my own decision. Hate the fucking Saxon bastards.” Ronan paused, suddenly aware of how much over the last four years he himself had come to sound like a fucking Saxon bastard, how many mutations initial mutations he’d dropped in the last sentence, which might have been the source of Declan’s raised eyebrows.
“So now you’ve come back to Ériu, no degree, expelled from the good sort of Church.”
“Yep.”
Declan gave a look around like he was hunting for a stronger drink than ale.
“It’s exactly what happened to Saint Pádraig.”
A long silence. The sound of some poetic lyre-strumming in the corner of the hall, and then Mathew’s voice screaming for Declan.
“Have you considered for thirty fucking seconds that you are not, in fact, Saint Pádraig?” He got up with a sigh. Ronan cursed him out in three languages.
“A fine priest you’d have made.”
“Exactly. Why are you so pissed off about it? I’m not going to try to steal the fucking kingship Dad rightfully gave ME back from you. Or did you forget? This is my land.”
“You couldn’t hold it together for a week. Passing some final exams safe away in a fucking monastery was too much for you, eh? Try keeping a handle on a whole tuath while you’ve got the entire Otherworld breathing down your neck because Dad owed them money and half of Dál Riada about to make a power play.”
Ronan slammed the table so hard all the goblets on top clattered. One tipped sideways, pouring blood-red wine everywhere.
“DON’T YOU DISHONOUR OUR FATHER’S NAME LIKE THAT! I’LL FIGHT-”
“Save your breath. Nothing I say could dishonour our father’s name more than what he did in life.”
“Guys,” a blond head suddenly shoved its way between them, “pleasestopfightingpleasestopfightingGodinheavenpleasemakethemstop-”
Ronan backed away, shaking his hands out from the fists they’d been, ready to strike. He would do what Matthew asked, if not Declan. Declan sighed and backed away. Getting in a fistfight where all the tenants would see would do nothing at all to preserve his already flimsy image as a competent king, although if the kingdom had recently had one was its own question.
No, if they were going to fight it would have to in the middle of nowhere under cover of night. Like men.

KING ARTHUR
King Arthur (Welsh: Brenin Arthur, Cornish: Arthur Gernow, Breton: Roue Arzhur) was a legendary British leader who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of Welsh and English folklore and literary invention, and modern historians generally agree that he is unhistorical.

At just twenty years old, Arthur Pendragon of Camelot has conquered all of Prydain and Hibernica. Where does he go from here?
This is how I coped with reading the History of the Kings of Britain for a class last semester. I haven't seen Merlin (it's on my to-watch) but I've read a fair amount of Arthurian lit and dw i'n gallu siarad Cymraeg (tipyn bach). I'll probably make this a series - I know that it won't all be that accurate to the literary cycle, but I'm just having fun! :)

Walking The Golden Road in the Preseli hills
The Golden Road, running along the spine of the Preseli Hills (Mynydd Preseli), is one of the finest high ground walking ways in Wales.
This gently undulating route, with views as far as Ireland, deep into South Wales, and north up the majestic arc of Cardigan Bay towards Snowdonia, links ancient monuments and burial places, cairns and rocky tors. Its star features are two of the possible quarries from which stones are believed to have been taken to Stonehenge 4000 years ago.
(Photo: Preseli Hills, Dec 2015, by the writer).
Archaeologists still dispute the importance of the road, which may date back 5,000 years to Neolithic times. Was it one of the hundreds of ridgeways, high trails which people and animals used to avoid the dense forests and difficult and dangerous terrain at lower levels?
Or was the Golden Road altogether more important, part of a trade superhighway, along which gold mined in the Wicklow mountains in Ireland was carried south east as far as Wessex?
The seven miles west-east trail begins at Bwlch Gwynt, not far from Foel Eryr. (Allow four hours in one direction. Bwlch Gwynt is on the B4329, about 2 miles north of the crossroads with the B4313. The end is a lay-by at Llainbanal, one mile west of Crymych).
Foel Eryr is a dramatic start, the “Place of the Eagle”, with a Bronze Age burial cairn at its summit. That majestic bird is no longer seen, but buzzard and red kite glide overhead, and wild ponies browse this raw grassland.
Just after the path passes the Pantmeanog Forest (to the south), it’s worth taking the footpath the short distance to the highest point in the Preselis, the 1,759 high Foel Cwmcerwyn.
Walking on east you come across notable ancient (man-made and natural) landmarks, such as the Bronze Age burial cairn at Foel Feddau, one of the finest in the Preselis. There’s a view north to the coast, and the site of Castell Henllys, the ambitious reconstruction of an Iron Age fort.
The rocky tor Carn Bica, with its large lozenge-shaped rock, overlooks Beddarthur, a ring of stones in the shape of an eye, one of many places recorded by antiquity as the grave of King Arthur. In truth this monument dates back to Neolithic times, long before when Arthur is believed to have lived, between 400-600AD.
Close to the path’s end is the formidable Foeldrygarn Iron Age fortress (around 350 BC) with its double ramparts and ditches. 1200ft up, it is on the
site of three Bronze Age burial cairns. Look for a large flat stone, Bwrdd y Brenin (King’s Table ). But you won’t find the pot of gold said to be hidden there.
Just below it is Carn Meini, its bluestone rock eroded into jagged shapes. For many years it was believed that the bluestones in the inner circle at Stonehenge were quarried here. Then, in 2013, new research was published suggesting that the particular stones might in fact come from another Preselis location, the nearby Carn Goedog.
Another, intriguing, discovery was made in 2013. Scientists found that as many as one in five of the stones scattered across these mountains give off metallic sounds like bells, gongs and tin drums when tapped with small, handheld hammer stones. This ringing quality is replicated in the same bluestones at Stonehenge. This raises the intriguing possibility that they were chosen for some kind of ritual musical value.
If you walk east-west, (or came by car) an excellent place to end your visit is the Tafarn Sinc (Zinc Tavern) in the nearby village of Rosebush.
The pub has a wood-burning stove, and its own brew, Cwrw Sinc. Rosebush was the centre of a once-thriving slate quarrying industry in the Preselis. In a workshop at nearby Llangolman, craftsman still make items from Welsh slate.
