Elaine of Astolot would run a femcel blog if she had Tumblr. I say this with love in my heart.

Shallot

The Lady weaves until her hands bleed

She knows no other life

Stitching only what her mirror sees

Her needle draws blood like any other knife

Until the day she saw him there

Lancelot, the Arrogant, in her mirror

She threw down her work without a care

Wishing to see his dark eyes clearer

She took her boat and fled the tower

Feeling the curse twist in her heart

A witch now lost without her power

Her ending soon begins to start

She rows along the river and weeps

Her love doesn’t know her name

In deaths cold arms she falls asleep

Her life now gone, his life the same

He looks at the beauty now laying dead

Her boat never got very far

“I’ll bury her”, the knight then said

Her fingers still covered in scars

He left his troupe of knights alone

Set on his quest to find her tower

Follows the river back to her home

A hungry place that offers power

He looks into her mirrored glass

At her thread upon the floor

Now, at last he has learned her secret

What she left her tower for

He sees his own face in the tapestry woven

The face of the lady right next to his

A lonely witch without a coven

Their images about to kiss

He leaves the tower and goes back to the knights

He still feels a little strange

Knowing she sleeps peacefully through every night

An arrogant knight has now been changed

“Go outside and touch grass” well I can’t 🙄 A curse is on me if I stay my weaving, either night or day, to look down to Camelot

#the lady of shallot #i know not what the curse may be therefore I weaveth steadily #smh people don’t check their non-curse-affected privilege #arthuriana #arthurian legend

Ophelia, John Everett Millais (1851-2) at the Tate Britain

#everything about my trip to the pre-raphaelite exhibition made me feel things #but stumbling upon ophelia and the lady of shallot? #and the awakening conscience? #these paintings which influence half the things I’ve seen and read and loved throughout my life? #i was a gone #pre-raphaelite art is so beautiful #CO Posts #john everett millais #ophelia #ophelia painting #pre raphaelite #pre raphaelism #art #classic art #art gallery #dark academia aesthetic

[hey-scully-itsme]

im relearning cursive (because it's pretty) and killing two birds with one stone by writing out poems i want to memorize in cursive repeatedly. feeling very efficient (and aesthetic)

#right now the poem is ozymandias bc it's an easy one to start with #one of those poems where everybody knows at least one line and way fewer people bother to memorize the whole thing #next up is probably lady of shallot which is WAY longer but who cares

some branch of stars we see

Caleb Widogast is figuring his life out. He has friends now, a job he cares about, and can even – on a good day – have fifteen Bunsen burners turned on in his classroom, and not get pulled into the flames. What he does not have, is any experience training other teachers. Essek Thelyss is a prodigy, one of the Marble Tomes' foremost researchers, and the son of one of the Dynasty's most influential families—he is certainly not a teacher of children. And yet, somehow, he has ended up at a school on the other side of the border, with a list of publications as tall as he is and no classroom experience. All he knows when he arrives is information gleaned from the school's website, and the name of the person who will be training him—Caleb Widogast.

hey folks it's my teaching au! that has been in my head for... literal years now (before we even knew about the m9 epilogue). I have been planning this for ages, and since there are now two (2) chapters up I feel like I can actually share it on tumblr. enjoy!

#critical role #cr fanfic #my writing #shadowgast #mighty nein #so like i don't have a great track record with longfic #and i cannot promise *regular* updates #but i have been working on this when i should've been marking/on the bus/etc for ages and i am very excited to be able to share it #and hopefully there *will* be updates #thank you all for facilitating yet another 'use your job to write fanfic' situation #i appreciate it #also yes the title is from the lady of shallot #i went through a whole list of space-ish titles and this one won

[hexjulia]

it's a shame i have no idea which arthurian lit i read as a child because the image of a king unable to leave his castle because of an unhealing wound was so memorable and probably influenced me

#lady of shallot and the fisherking are sharing a bunkbed in my personal mind-space

It’s 3 in the morning after just having finished watching the Ravening war finale, and all I’m thinking about now is how well the shape of Karna’s story rhymes with the story in this song. I’m not a character playlist sorta person, but boy, if I were…

#the ravening war #dimension 20 #karna solara #ravening war spoilers #emilie autumn #opheliac #me saying shit #I guess my emotional associations with both were similar and specifc enough to pull up that song in particular #I know the song is based on the ballad The Lady of Shalott. but I do like the way this song specifically frames it #in calorum call her the lady of shallot lmao. ok I need to sleep

Modern AU Lady of Shallot where instead of getting all her knowledge of the world from a magic mirror she just gets it from watching TV shows/movies, and instead of weaving a magic web she just writes fanfic

#then someone tells her to go outside and touch grass and it changes her life #the lady of shallot

#The Lady of Shallot by William Holman Hunt (painted between 1888 and 1805)

[elhowe]

For this is it, it’s all I am

The Lady of Shallot. 

I’ve served my cause, 

My noble aim, 

My purpose by and by.

A symbol for a lonely knight, 

A saint for Camelot. 

And yet we still know not who I, 

The Lady of Shallot, 

Could be if not a shell to rot,

Perhaps I am and shall to be, 

A Lady of but naught.

#i am embarrassingly proud of this #my additional final verse to lady of shallot #i wrote it as a character from a different story I'm writing #so its supposed to be from her perspective #but i still think its good and I'm proud so like #writing #my writing #lady of shalott #the lady of shalott #poetry #poem #alfred lord tennyson #how are we feeling about the fucking lord tennyson tag #lmao

This drawing of Fai be like “I am going to make a piece of art that is so metaphorical”

#we’ve got everything: ophelia references; fairy tale prince and princess references; lady of shallot references; longing #yes #bern speaks
