@oneknightstand-if the code is held together with plaintext, javascript, and html—which is to say it is very inefficient for long-term use.

for my silly little projects, the code is sufficient.

i, however, am craving more arthurian ifs but am coming to realization that, if i want to play more arthurian ifs, i must make them.

(and if you all wish to have a person—mind you, who thought king arthur was with the spanish inquisition—making your arthurian ifs, i don’t know what to tell you!)

@myeraland replied to your post “Was Lancelot a black knight in OKS lore?”:

seeing this makes me remember how a mere four months ago, i was so unfamiliar with king arthur that i thought monty python and the holy grail was about the spanish inquisition (i didn’t even know who lancelot was; imagine my shock when arthurian lore newbie knew more than me! the only things i knew were merlin and excalibur… thanks to the legend of zelda.) and now, here i am, reading celtic arthurian tales, generating a personal wiki, and going through arthurian media week by week 💀

Merlin: ( •᷄ὤ•᷅)？Dear heavens, what have they been teaching you in school these days, poor child?

Yeah, the Spanish Inquisition is more Flying Circus than Holy Grail.

Otherwise, you might soon surpass me in recent Arthurian media at that rate. It's been... awhile... since I watched any western TV series or movies.

2025 myera: is… king arthur from the spanish inquisition? 😭

2026 myera: on my fourth arthurian choicescript minigame

(yes—i created a tooltip add on for desktop/mobile just for this sole purpose, haha)

Hey hey. On the OKS wiki, Adrian's fav horseman is War instead of DEATH, I think.

thanks for the correction! hmm, he was talking about a book series when he said this, right? i’d not gotten around to reading it. 😔

oneknightstand-if

Yes, that particular part of the apocalypse discussion with Adrian is a Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse reference from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

myeraland

still haven’t read it. for those who have, what’s the series like? (by the way, that entry should be updated on wiki)

speaking of books, i did get around to reading stephen king’s the stand, and am very much side-eyeing its ending. at first i thought it was a pandemic gag, but…

first draft for the round table (the item) because i also didn’t know this information!

do we want updates? funnily enough, there are enough pages to post one page everyday for a year (though not all the pages will be packed with content)

No assigned seating in OKS Arthur's Round Table (outside of the "Beware!" ones like Siege Perilous) since he was aiming for equality + we're doing the 1600+ seat version, and that would be a whole lot of gilded writing.

Also, what if your assigned seat was in a section where the nearest hundred people were off questing instead of sitting at the table?

myeraland

good to know we’re doing the 1600+ seats version. makes we wonder if we’re going to have some climactic army-like (avengers: endgame-like?) with the fellowship of the round table.

every single time i write bleoberis, i impulsively write his name as “blueberries”. this has simultaneously made him one of my favorite knights and one of my knights where i hope i didn’t just fumble the name. (unless bleoberis wants to pull a good ol’ “parsifal” maneuver with blueberries.)

Oneironaut (Interlude Arthur)

The colors of deep space unfurled all around them. Green with the far-distant slow curl of ionized gas clouds. Blue were the nebulae filled with massive stars spinning idly at their feet. Soft gold and red, the halo reflected of older galaxies drifting in the background.

The surcoat of the man standing before them matched those latter shades, silvery stars caught within the crystalline depths of armor that idly shifted on a spectral breeze.

The recently regained memory of Camelot pricked at the back of their mind, newly excavated and smarting like a freshly disturbed scrape.

MC stared down at their hands. The ones that'd borne the bier carrying the Pair Bywyd. They still had them both, unlike Bedivere, who—

Something rumbled silently in the distance, more pressure than sound.

Something darker than the black void between the stars was once more creeping in from the edges of the heavens. Their current companion seemed unsurprised, even as he tilted a red-gold head to glance back from where they'd come.

"We dare not linger any longer," Arthur Pendragon spoke above their protests of how they'd only been here for a few short moments.

A few scant heartbeats. Only a few small words exchanged between the two of them.

"Tis always most dangerous at the Edge, where other things besides Dreamers linger. Retreat to the safety of your own normal slumber. Or awaken instead, if such should suit you, and think upon the implications of what you just witnessed."

And after saying such, the once High King reached forward, both physically and otherwise, as a jolt of awareness pressed against the back of MC's mind, a light shove to more easily send them on their way. "I shall lead them astray to—"

That was Arthur's mistake. That was MC's chance. And so, as the newly budding dreamwalker also reached forward with phantasmal fingers, with mind intent, with will as sharp as a white-burning blade, as they wrapped both hands around the king's gauntleted wrist.

The stars rushed past in a blur of rainbow-reflected hues as something roared in the distance like the collapse of a high-rise wreathed in flames.

And the winning drabble for April is "Arthur and Dreamwalker MC visit Broderick's dreams together" at 2211 words.

Finally, a normal dream. Somewhat. With a bit of a more serious business MC, who has reasons why they're lingering in the dreamworld with Arthur. Thankfully, for Broderick's sake, his socks are safe this time.

Available on the "Rider Groupies of the Apocalypse" and higher tiers of my Patreon for a while now.

arthur! 🥳 the high king is back! (oh and mc and broderick too, i suppose) 🥳 thanks greater circle!

unused assets i made for one knight wiki.

what could these be used for?

starting to feel better.

oneknightstand-if

These kind of remind me of the text boxes in Renpy visual novel games. 🤔

myeraland

unsurprising, seeing as i’ve created renpy novels. though, using (nvl) mode, not adventure (adv) mode.

(nvl mode is when the most of the screen is text in front of a background, like some modern twine games i’ve played. horror games — please exercise extreme caution searching these titles: higurashi, otogirisou, saya no uta, etc. — largely use nvl mode.)

more unsurprisingly, i used nvl mode because of the prose-focus and less visual. i can’t really see well enough to make vns these days, but i had much fun!

if one knight stand were a visual novel it, in my personal option, would work best with a blend of the two styles. i’d imagine horror segments or, more likely, camelot sequences would benefit exceptionally well under the nvl mode. the prose and volume of information in the latter would be stronger for nvl mode and create narrative space between the player and their camelot selves.

…i rambled a lot as per usual.

the vulgate cycle which is very confusing for newcomers (me)

also called pseudo cycle or lancelot-grail… i think?

it was inevitable lancelot showed up in the second dream—this guy is everywhere!

the low-vision font you see is just for me! you won’t see the same

#one knight stand #oneknightstand

one knight wiki also has the guide links for your convenience

you all worked so hard putting together your tutorials. thank you so much ☺️

#one knight stand #oneknightstand

slowly grinding my way through the characters, which is why i keep saying the oks dev put in a lot of hard work here

not to say other authors don’t; i simply want to acknowledge that this is hard to do. even more for me since everyone is brand spanking new, so i have to re-read multiple times
