Happy Valentine's Day!! Have a little piece of my Big Bad, Aloysius Dragone, and his Queen, Eirian. They may be awful people, but they can at least take comfort in each other...You can read all about them at @vowcomic, which is my webcomic, The Vale of Wales :)

Afanc

Now we move from our tropical paradise to the lakes of Wales, where our next entry resides. The Afanc is said to be a demonic creature found in Welsh mythology, though also referenced throughout British and Celtic folklore. The descriptions of this creature vary, with some saying it looks like a crocodile, while others claim it looks similar to a large beaver, or even a dwarf. It is said to be a violent creature, attacking and devouring anyone who steps into its waters.

There are a few different tales of the Afanc. One such story is that of how Hu Gadarn, king of the first Britons, slayed the beast. After causing a massive flood by thrashing in its home waters, the Afanc was dragged to shore by Hu’s oxen, where it was able to be defeated. An earlier version of this story claims that the oxen actually threw the Afanc into Llyn Ffynnon Las, a lake with a rocky shoreline that prevented the creature from escaping. Another variation says that the floods killed everyone in Britain except for two, Dwyfan and Dwyfach. And again another claims that a maiden tamed the Afanc, letting it sleep in her lap so that the other villagers could capture it. Apparently its struggles upon awaking crushed the maiden.

The legendary creature is even tied to King Arthur. It’s said that the king slayed the Afanc near Llyn Barfog after having his horse drag it from the water. In doing so, the horse left a hoof print in a rock, now known as Carn March Arthur (stone of Arthur’s horse).

There are a few locations where the Afanc is believed to reside, including Llyn Barfog, Llyn Llion, and Llyn-yr-Afanc.

An aquatic beast for Librum Prodigiosum ! The Afanc, from Welsh mythology! This lake monster is vicious, killing anyone who swims in its lake- there are many stories of failed attempts to subdue the beast, often ending in tragedy!

Today's beast, the Afanc! While originally a lake monster, these were brought to the Americas, (for reasons unknown) where they found their niche in the everglades and other swampy regions.

How's the sequel going? Could we get one cursed fact about it?

well, i think it's cursed that it still doesn't have even a working title, much less a list of semi-concrete ideas to pick from.

the sequel is still in "have to edit for consistency and i hate editing so i've mostly been playing farming sims or trying to write fanfic" mode, but i'm dragging myself through prep month since i'm gonna be working on it for nanowrimo! i still... hope to have it done by next spring...

i'm reaching for some low-hanging fruit here, but i think a very cursed fact about the second book is that the afanc is in it. that's enough, right.

want a NOT CURSED fact?

how about A BOOK BLOG TOUR STARTING TOMORROW.

i honestly have little idea what to expect outside of the materials they asked me for, so this deserves some hype! i'll be retweeting as much as i can on twitter, and hopefully i'll remember to use tumblr for more than silly reblogs.

i also have some fun promo pics planned that i just... need to do... (and figure out a background for because the last thing i want is an off background to ruin the Very Spooky Pics i have planned)

#ask #anonymous #it was hard to come up with a cursed fact and i think me and all of the old guard readers are already jaded by the afanc #but if you're fresh to it #that shit's nuts #wait here's a second cursed fact: there's only one nosebleed in it so far

This is for @violetvolute and Jacob the Precious on Twitter! We recently had a great conversation about establishing shots, dynamic angles, and the importance of letting my readers know where my characters are.

Faebruary Day 10~Afanc

This was very interesting to draw. At first, I couldn’t decide if I wanted it to look more like a beaver or a crocodile. This is a little different than my initial idea, but I’m still glad on how it turned out.

~

Afanc is a water faerie that resembles a mix between a beaver and a crocodile. Be aware if you see this creature. If you get to close, it may drag you into the water and drown you.

Movie Night

✧ RP  ･ only those who are tagged can reply

꒰ “Ugh!” A frustrated sigh had been let out, sounds of hangers clanging against each other could be heard as he quickly moved them aside, trying to find some decent looking outfits he could wear for later. 

It was safe to say that Afanc was clearly in a state of panic.

He and a colleague of his made a plan to watch a movie together. A few other co-workers said they’d join too, so he expected to see them there two. It’d be a little awkward for him if it was just him and Thespian after all.

“Aha!” Afanc exclaimed, finally finding a fitting outfit to wear. Specifically, some simple beige-colored pants and a dark blue turtle neck. ( the outfit was recommended by Lakan. there’s no way Afanc would trust Phoenix with his outfit choices )

The agent wasted no time putting on the clothes, putting on some shoes as well for the sake of not walking around HQ with just socks. Once he finished, he rushes to see himself in the mirror, smoothing out unpleasing clothe folds as well as seeing if his hair looked good. His heart beat rapidly whilst Afanc sprayed on some perfume, a lavender scented one.

“God...” Afanc sighs heavily, staring into the eyes of his reflection for a few seconds, before then whipping out his phone to text Thespian that he’s ready.

I’ll be heading over in a bit! :)

Afanc takes a deep breath, quickly pressing the ‘send’ button then immediately shutting his phone off once he did so. He shot up, trying to cool himself down as he left his room, making his way to Thespian’s.
