the things society tells you make you an adult are so fucked up. like going to parties and dating a bunch doesnt make you an adult. what makes you an adult is beheading the strange green man in your uncle’s court and living for a year in lonely terror as your horse carries you inexorably to your doom in the haunted chapel past the valley

Download Arthurian texts (6th century/16th century)
I wanted to write down in a post all the links of the download tag but only the ones about arthurian ancient texts, the ones that are many people want when they ask about “original arthurian legends”. So you will find those arthurian texts pre-1600 that I managed to find online.
Please, if you see mistakes or if you want to add links send me a message. *I added the symbol * and bolded my favourite ones and the ones I consider fundamental (and this is my personal opinion).

“In Welsh, the very word for ‘meaning’ (ystyr) comes from the Latin historia which has given the English language both ‘story’ and ‘history’ … The old Welsh word for ‘story,’ cyfarwyddyd, means ‘guidance,’ ‘direction,’ ‘instruction,’ ‘knowledge,’ ‘skill’ … Its stem, arwydd, means ‘sign,’ ‘symbol’ … and derives from a root meaning ‘to see.’ The story teller (cyfarwydd) was originally a seer and a teacher who guided the souls of his hearers through the world of mystery.”
J. H. Delargy, “The Gaelic story-teller,” quoted by Alwyn D. Rees and Brinley Rees, from Celtic Heritage: Ancient Tradition in Ireland and Wales (Thames and Hudson, 1961)
british romanticism: i went into the woods and i found a beautiful woman, but she wasn’t really a woman, she was my Muse and the woods is my mind
american romanticism: i went into the woods and found the devil and he gave me a clock, but the clock was actually the industrial revolution and it fucking killed me
italian romanticism: i went into the woods and toppled face down over a root which proves nature is but a cruel stepmother, also this must somehow be a sign that God wants us to get rid of those fucking austrians
french romanticism: i went into the woods and found a peasant woman, but she wasn’t really a woman, she was the Republic and the woods is the people of France, wild, free and unconquered
polish romanticism: i didn’t go into the woods and i didn’t find any woman, we held a seance instead and summoned ghosts and listened to how they died, and then i was in a prison cell listening to my inmates while having existential crisis, but bottom line fuck Russia, Prussia and Austria
probably my favorite thing ever; the 4 stages of a woman’s life. from The Mirror (1975, Andrei Tarkovsky)

those who dream only by night: the gothic short stories rec list
have you ever felt like you want to read more fiction in the gothic tradition, but you haven’t the money or the time, or you’re the sort of person who only reads a novel if you’re sure you like the writer? i can help with that! here is a list of short stories, novellas, and one poem, all of which are important in the gothic tradition, the gothic revival, or contemporary gothic fiction, and they are all on the internet! for free! (i enjoy making rec lists, but i particularly enjoy making rec lists where i know that everyone who reads the list can get all of it for free.) so, take a night, make some hot chocolate, and frighten the life out of yourself. you’ll thank me!

#PotterWeekPrompts Day 8: Happee Birthdae Harry and Jo!!
Date a boy who loves ancient cultures and will gush about them to you
The desert was the apotheosis of all deserts, huge, standing to the sky for what might have been parsecs in all directions. White; blinding; waterless; without feature save for the faint, cloudy haze of the mountains which sketched themselves on the horizon and the devilgrass which brought sweet dreams, nightmares, death. An occasional tombstone sign pointed the way, for once the drifted track that cut its way through the thick crust of alkali had been a highway and coaches had followed it. The world had moved on since then. The world had emptied. (x)
