Seeking A Book To Read This Winter Break?

Thanks for the tag @lancedoncrimsonwings! tagging @dinogod @warlocklawyer666 @the-tav3rn-0wner @moyavince

1 - What's the origin of your blog title?

First my username was "Vaquinha-de-cogumeinhos" which traduces to "Lil-murshrooms-calf" inspired by my obcession with minecraft and murshrooms when i was 11, but then i changed to "beginning-writer" cause i figured to use a more straight away and inglish username in an INGLISH PLATAFORM would make it easier for people to understand what my blog was for and to write when tagged.

Lancewain; Lancelot x Gawain (weeping monk and green knight, and also in the original literature. They fucking gay in a glass closet fucking eachother. Sorry not sorry.)

6 - Weirdest habit/trait?

I can't sit properly in a chair. You'll see me with butterfly feathers, with my knees against my chest, one knee supporting my chin and the other butterfly, sitting like a hen hatching egg, with my butt on the edge of the chair and my legs stretched out or with my torso lying on the table and my butt correctly filling the right space. But you will NEVER see me sitting correctly in a chair even in public.

6 - hobbies

Drawing, dancing, painting, acting, writing, currently crafts, sewing. Anything artistic really, I'm practically a craftswoman at this point.

7 - If you work, what's your profession?

No work

8 - If you could have any job you wish, what would It be? Realistically?

✨Acting✨. Being an actress has been my permanent dream since I was 12. I know the difficulties and how nothing is perfect, but even so, it continues to be my dream job.

9 - something you're good at

Arts. Basically in all my hobbies. And also in history cause i love throwing random facts at people

10 - something you're bad at

Math. And anything related to exact sciences. And for some reason I'm also terrible at finding my way around with directions and streets using their names. Like, don't give me the name of the street, just give me the damn known reference on it!

11 - Something you love

One of my gods ☀️Apollo☀️, and so far the only one. Me, because loving yourself is important and I do it very well. My boyfriend. My dog. Arts and Daniel Sharman because I love all the roles he plays and how random is all I find of him around.

12 - Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff

Literally anything, I talk a LOT and very fast. But especially drawings. Or animals! Literally anything as you can see.

13 - Something you hate.

MATH. And Intolerant and homophobic people who keep talking about me. Please don't talk about my religion or sexuality. I'll cry 🥺

14 - something you ✨collect✨

The seal on soda or beer cans

15 - something you forget😓

All my schoolwork and I only hear about it again the day before I hand it in.

16 - What's your love linguage?

Handmade gifts and physical touch. And words of affirmation every now and then.

17 - Favourite move/show

I can't just decide One, but i'm going with Cursed and Ordem paranormal.

18 - Favourite food

The pepperoni lasagna that my dad makes and the snowy banana pizza.

19 - Favourite animal

Sharks, dogs and horses, and of course reptiles. Don't make me choose a reptile, I can't.

20 - How where you like as a child?

Lively and, oddly enough, i over talked a lot and was studious. But i was also kind of lonely since I was the only girl on the street where I lived.

21 - Favourite subject at school

History and English

22 - Least favourite subject

Mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology.

23 - What's your ✨best✨ character trait?

I am an adaptable and cultured person. Alternative? I know. Nerd? RPG and anime are my area. Intelligent? Learning and teaching is my thing. Artistic? I am too. My culture is so explored by me that I simply fit into everything and speak to everyone. I adapt and gather everyone.

24 - What's your worst character trait?

I am disorganized and stubborn. But I have an ✨organized disorganization✨, I know where everything is and it is perfectly fine that way. And my stubborn head has always been a problem, but I am trying to improve.

25 - If your could change any detail in your life right now, whit would It be?

My mental disorganization. This is a vicious cycle problem, if I don't help my mental health my grades drop, but if I care about my grades my mental health drops. I'm undergoing treatment to try to balance this out, but it's been the biggest challenge of the last two years. I just want to speed up the process and get rid of it once and for all.

26 - If your could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

My grandparents. I only knew my maternal grandfather, I wish I had known my maternal grandmother and my two paternal grandpatents. All three of them died before I was born and everyone always talks about how cool they were. I wish I could have met them.

Get to know your mutuals Game

Oooohh thank you for the tag @holy3cake

No pressure tagging @gwalch-mei @beginning-writer + OPEN TAG FOR ALL to answer these 27 random questions, I'll put a blank version in the comments!

What's the origin of your blog title?

Originally, "OnCrimsonWings" is my Ao3 username, which was a poetic kinda reference to Dante from Devil May Cry because his demon form has red wings. When I made this blog I knew I wanted it to include a reference to Lancelot/The Weeping Monk, so I just added "Lanced" to the Ao3 name.

It works on so many levels- as I also like winged Whumpees as a trope in general, and the name to me brings an image of a winged creature or person pinned by something sharp through the wing. It also works more as a poetic angel metaphor for Lancelot, as he's referred to as a dark/avenging angel in the role he's been molded into by the Church in Cursed, a role which is ultimately his downfall, like a fallen angel with crimson, or bloodied wings...

OTP(s) + Their shipname;

Lancewain; Lancelot (The Weeping Monk) x Gawain (The Green Knight) from Cursed

Melvik; Mel x Viktor from Arcane (also Jayvik; Jayce x Viktor, and Meljayvik; Mel x Jayce x Viktor)

Zaundads/Vanco; Vander x Silco from Arcane

BuckyNat/WinterWidow; Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) x Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) Marvel

Gwaenyra (Gwayne x Rhaenyra; House of the Dragon)

Colonel Everett Young x Dr. Nicholas Rush; Stargate Universe - I actually never really saw a shipname for these guys or I've forgotten it if I did know one

There's a bunch of others but that will do for now lmao

Favourite colour?

Purple!

Favourite game/s?

The Witcher 3, Skyrim, currently enjoying Monster Hunter, though the thing I have most hours in might actually be Fall Guys...

What song is currently stuck in your head?

In Maidjan by Heilung, I'm excited to see them live again soon!

Weirdest habit/trait?

I sit like a goblin in any and all chairs. (Except for when I'm physically tattooing, or in a formal meeting. Otherwise? If there is a chair I will be perched on it like a bisexual ass Goblin 100% of the time).

Uhhh and I can bend the first knuckle (closest to the fingertips) on my fingers whilst keeping the second/middle knuckles perfectly straight/locked.

Hobbies:

Playing piano, making cosplays, making chainmail, listening to music, playing D&D, keeping snakes and also doing Archery, as of late!

If you work, what's your profession?

Tattooing- for the next two weeks anyway. I also volunteer at my local zoo and do commission pet portraits!

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Realistically?

Tattooing but at a studio with a working toilet, repaired roof and decent non falling apart floors, where I am NOT the sole member of the studio 😂

Otherwise, doing something arty like making things or running my small buisness full time. Or if all goes well with this insane Uni plan I have, then working with snakes in some way shape or form. Not sure how, yet but. I dunno, it might be cool.

Something you're good at:

I'm a really creative person and I come up with a lot of really cool ideas!

Something you're bad at:

Maths, I mean I just struggle with numbers in general. And telling my left from right 😂

Something you love: 

Daniel Sharman. I mean. Look at him man's stunning

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: 

Snakes! And I did that when I took the snakes in to Scouts and taught them about snakes with not much prep time at all 😂

Something you hate:

People trying to control other people or put their views on them. (Eg. Very religious people that try and force you to believe their religion. Or Antis that hate on a fictional trope or ship or theme and think no one is allowed to read or write it. That sort of thing)

Something you collect: 

Books! I have several hundered, at this point, and that's after having to bin about 300 due to severe damp in a previous house.

Something you forget: 

I dunno. I forgot

What's your love language?

Giving gifts, I think, but I also like touching/leaning on people who I love (only when my skin doesn't feel bruised, which is basically always, and honestly most of the time I'm touch averse lmao). I'm not really sure.

Favourite movie/show: 

Movie; Labyrinth, Lost Boys, Avatar I & Avatar II: the way of water, LOTR Trilogy

Show; Arcane, The Witcher and Cursed

Favourite food:

I really like homemade stew and mash, but I can't make it (thanks fatigue) so I haven't actually had it in years. I love roasties (roasted potatoes) with copious amounts of butter on.

Favourite animal:

Snakes! Specifically I love Dumeril's Boas, Madagascan Ground Boas- and have one of each myself- and I have a soft spot for Boelen's Pythons and European Adders!

What were you like as a child? 

Always daydreaming in my own little world, shy, but also I had anger issues at the age of 4... so a bit of a shitbag lmao.

Favourite subject at school?

Art or Science, though I also liked music!

Least favourite subject: 

Maths. I always used to get yelled at for refusing to do homework, and for drawing in my book and putting my headphones in to listen to music. (It was actually helping me focus, but the fact I had ADHD was completely missed so I just got yelled at for it. I still got a B in my GCSEs though so fuck em!)

What's your best character trait?

I'm incredibly organised (because if I wasn't my life would be an absolute shambles as my memory is shit), and I'm very good at problem solving! If character trait more means "personality" then it would probably be that I am a very caring person.

What's your worst character trait?

I can be very stubborn and headstrong paired with the fact I am a control freak and like things organised, then that tends to frustrate both the people around me and myself...

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

I'd cure my disabilities. Just so I could continue tattooing and take on the studio- or just open my own elsewhere, or I'd go get a career out in the field with snakes and not have to worry about fatigue, collapse, pain or dietary issues wherever I went!

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

Chester Bennington, 100%. I miss him. It's one of the biggest regrets of my life that I was meant to go and see him live on that final tour and I couldn't afford the tickets thanks to an unexpected bill. He was, and still is my hero.

How extra am I?

Well I got bored at work so I decided to use a UK map to plot out locations from Cursed based off what little of their maps we do see so I could do reasonable travel distances and scenery etc...

(I then found a whole host of continuity errors in terms of distance and their maps are wildly inaccurate as per the time period BUT what I've done at least works for the most part)

Here Dewdenn is likely at the base of the River Severn, so a touch North of where I placed it, because I decided Yvoire Abbey needed to be right by the river (since Nimue boated out) and Hawksbridge should be at a port, yet the journey needs to be feasible in a day, whilst Gramaire and the Encampments needed a forest, open plains, and to be near enough to Hawksbridge and Dewdenn as travel between would take no more than 1-2 days)

(Red line at the bottom of that pic = 20 miles)

Sooo Dewdenn is now a little further South 20 miles from Gramaire and Yvoire Abbey, and Hawksbridge is 15 miles or so from Yvoire Abbey (wanted it to be closer but alas)

The Minotaur Mountains are now the Pennines, as it's the only ridge of mountains across the center that really works, and Nemos is in the base of the Pennines in Sherwood Forest, whilst Moycraig- the last farm supplying Nemos- is 5ish miles outside Sherwood Forest.

Beggar's Coast was definitely filmed on the south coast, and makes sense for a nickname for the English Channel, so I chose the closest viable point for the battlesite at the end of Cursed/King Uther's ships. It would have taken at least 2 days to get there from Gramaire, but both the book and series are loose on how long it actually took, soooo this will have to do.

Since the Paladins were "from the south", needed easy access to the English Channel to be able to travel to Rome (Likely via France), and Dorset was featured so heavily on their map, I've chosen that as their "main" base, though I plan to add Red Paladin Encampments, Human towns and cities and Fey Villages throughout.

Now to add their journey by Chapter because I am a fucking ass who can't visualise and needs to be able to see it to make sense of it!

If you read all this, you're a legend- or very bored. Or both. (Probably both after this)

Horizons to Battlegrounds

(Chapter 1) (Masterlist)

Sneak Peak! and no i'm not explaining this post

The Reformatory.

“That place is not just a reformatory, knight. They're gonna break his head.” The lady with honey eyes says. Her once happy eyes now fell into a sad and worried glass.

Gawain is confused by the stern words. "...What?" He asks in a state of confusion and disbelief. Gawain knew that the paladins were cruel and that they valued empty heads and blind pawns, but he didn't want to believe that they would have the courage to break that alredy broken blade that the weeping monk was and force him together again and the gods know how many more times.

“You heard me.” The woman says with a firm word. Her eyes finally returning to meet his. “We call that place the devil's nightmare house for a reason. It’s not difficult to connect two dots, knight.”

The devil's nightmare house...? Gawain feels his face grow cold and the color drain from his features with realization. A shiver passes through his body just for thinking about what led to a place having to name like that.

“He's not going to come back, Gawain.” The lady afirms again with a firm voice, her face now completely darkened. “And if he comes back, it won’t be him anymore."

The woman sighs, her eyes returning to the floor and they were now a red glass, trying hard not to cry. The knight couldn't even begin to understand the relationship between the lady and the monk, but they certainly had something. No one holds back their tears so much for someone they don not care about.

She forces a unamused smile, trying to ease the tension. “Think he'll only comes back if some crazy person dares to invade Devil's Nightmare and bring him back.” She jokes, getting up to leave. The nameless lady says goodbye and leaves the knight to his thoughts alone at night again.

…Maybe I am crazy enough.

@lancedoncrimsonwings

Going to school again. I hate having to wake up early, but what can I do, right? First class is human rights, so at least I can rest a little in the first one.

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

So i know in my last post i said i would do another post talking about the cultural dance i chosed to the sky folk, but my adhd just decided i would have an hypercriative time by: Having to post this; do a drawing face test of the weeping monk and one of my original character; rewrite my lancewain chapter; and study for my finals week, this week, and specially for math on monday (in that case today cause i'm posting this at past midnight) and biology. I probably gonna take a bit of time doing all of this, but i promise the Sky folk dance is coming soon.

Hear me out wheel! C: If you don’t know who someone is just look em up and vote based on vibes

Oh Lancelot, loved by the king, loved by the queen

Another Arthuriana idea I had for a while. Guinevere design is much inspired by William de Leftwich Dodge illustration
