KA2OTH CELEBRATION | Day 7 - Endings

AN: For today's @ka20th prompt I decided to focus on Guinevere's wedding dress. All the costumes in this film are absolute stand-outs but this one is so undeniably beautiful! Simple and elegant, extravagant and just well made!

Lancelot disagreeing with Arthur's decisions KA20TH CELEBRATION | Day 3 - Loyalty

AN: During my re-watch of King Arthur for the @ka20th event, I noticed that Lancelot had this re-occurring expression whenever Arthur did an act that was selfless or towards Rome. I just thought it was interesting because no matter how hard he disagreed with him he always stuck by him, and I just think that's neat. Don't you?

GAWAIN and GALAHAD King Arthur | dir. Antoine Fuqua

KA20TH CELEBRATION | Day 2 - Love

AN: For today's @ka20th prompt I decided to focus on an underrated pairing. I know that a lot of people ship Galahad with Tristan because of Hannibal but there's something about these two that make me ship them instead. Maybe it's the little smiles that they share, or Gawain's glances, or the fact that they're always side by side on screen. I can't put my finger on it!

ARTORIUS "ARTHUR" CASTUS costume appreciation: (costume design by Penny Rose) inspired by @lady-arryn beautiful costume series [x]

KA20TH CELEBRATION | Day 5 - Sacrifice

AN: For today's @ka20th prompt I decided to dedicate it to Arthur's ceremonial armour that he wore during the Battle of Badon. Not only did he stay behind to fight the Saxons so that his Knights could finally go home and be free, but he looked INCREDIBLE! I must say though, I am bias to the armour that he wears with the red cape, but gosh this one just stands out. Doesn't it?

KING ARTHUR (2004) set design appreciation: ― Hadrian's Wall: The Roundtable [3/?] inspired by @lady-arryn wonderful set design series [x]

KA20TH CELEBRATION | Day 4 - Home

AN: How can I do this series and not include The Roundtable? Gosh the empty seats are a gut punch to the heart. So many men sat around this table but only six survived. So many years lost to an Empire that hey were forced to serve and to cause they didn't even believe in. But they all believed in Arthur and that's all that matters. (P.S. I love that Arthur and Lancelot are sitting next to each other 🤭)

Also to anyone who's writing fics for this film, feel free to use this has visual inspiration if you're struggling with imagery or what-not💖

It was my life to be taken! Not this...never this! My brave knights, I have failed you. I neither took you off this island nor shared your fate.

KA20TH CELEBRATION | Day 6 - Loss Lancelot's Death

AN: Gosh Lancelot's death in this film just kills me because I wasn't expecting it at all. I knew Tristan would die when he decided to face Cerdic alone, but Lancelot's death just hit me right in the heart. He didn't even get to see Arthur one last time nor did he get to say goodbye. How cruel is that? Well you know how these ancient tragedies go...no-one gets a happy ending. (P.S. I'm really happy with how this turned out💙)
