You might have noticed that I started to post content on dreamwidth! Just in case, I am moving lists and recs there.
Feel free to join the community, post and comment!
the wordpress back up is going a bit slow, as everyone is moving their blogs 🙂
Apparently, opening the tumblr on a browser hides all new posts I reblog. I apologise. Let me know if opening the tumblr on an app shows the new posts. The last few reblogs were a picture of Lancelot from a cartoon, Merlin from Excalibur 1981, the twitter of arthurianmisquotes, a drawing of Mordred and Arthur at Camlann
I also have an arthurian dreamwdth
arthurianlegend.dreamwidth.org
I will also move the main content there (list of books, lists in general, download resources etc.) and feel free to join the community on dreamwidth! Hopefully nothing will happen on tumblr.
as recently tumblr has been banning stuff, weird things happened (more one of my posts declared nsfw even if it wasn’t?), and knowing that everything online is temporary, I just wanted to say that you can also find me on weebly and discord.
This weebly website is mostly an archive, so I’ll move there all the lists (lists of books, lists of downloads etc.) just in case!
and DISCORD is for the community! The link is on the sidebar.
In any case, I’m going to save relevant arthurian information and any news, if something happens to this website, will be posted on discord
never heard of | so bad I’ll pretend to not know them | boring | indifferent | great!| a favorite | the reason why I started reading arthuriana | ONLY GOOD DAD IN ALL ARTHURIANA
Ohh!! So I can do it for the whole series as a whole!
The Once and Future King
I want to read it | never heard of | so bad I forgot the plot | boring | okay | I’ll probably re-read it | favorite | BEST
I have to admit that the first (Sword in the Stone) would probably fall more towards the “okay” part than favourite, as I much preferred the rest of the books!
Oh no, I want to do the “put a x in my ask and I will answer with “ both for arthurian characters:
never heard of | so bad I’ll pretend to not know them | boring | indifferent | great | a favorite | the reason why I started reading arthuriana
and arthurian books:

I just wanted to share this. I was playing Divine Divinity when I stumbled upon the Holy Grail (it is actually called Holy Grail).
The game also has a sword in a stone (you can pick it up, but you release an evil ghost impossible to kill, if you do).
It’s been a while since I’ve read it, but I remember liking it quite a bit. I was very disappointed by the incomplete ending, as he couldn’t finish the book.
I usually divide novels in two categories: Retellings of Malory (like Steinbeck’s book, Howard Pyle etc), vs Re-imaginations of arthuriana (like Mary Stewart, Nancy McKenzie, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Elizabeth Wein etc). I am quite fond of the second category, while I find the first category less exciting.
Still, Steinbeck definitely puts much of his own amazing writing skill in this retelling (I love his other novels too, he is a great author).
