can you tell us more about your camelot dr? anything really ^^ thoughts you've been having about it, visuals, memories
YES. OFC! I'm not sure about which topic to choose so I'll just go with the flow and yap about it. thanks for the ask!
okay. so I haven't been focusing on it so much these past weeks, but it's like one of the coziest and most whimsical DRs I have. The Merlin show was a very specific part of my childhood because I would watch it when I got sick and skipped school, lmao. Since I was little, I have always loved the Arthurian legend and medieval fantasy, so I tried to visualize a world with the medieval aesthetics that I have always liked but with some safety measures and comforts. and of course, no misogyny, racism, or homophobia. I made a post about some random things I scripted if you want to read it (here). The intro post is here. This last one is basically my script, so you will only find a bit of information on how the world is, myself, and my relationship dynamics with everybody.
Anyway, first thing that comes to mind is how i meet Lance because it happens 2 weeks after i arrive at camelot. he was out on a mission and he arrives just when we were in a banquet. i sometimes imagine aragorn's entrance in the two towers, very dramatic of him. but i was just talking with morgana about anything really when we saw him. i was curious and asked her about him. when i realized he was the famous Lancelot i felt a bit taken aback because i had imagined him older, and definetly not that handsome lol. Arthur then called me from the other side of the room where he was with him, to come with them and get properly introduced. i just know i tried my best to act fine but i was a bit nervous. just like it happens on the tv show when he meets gwen, i want to greet him with a shake of hands but the thing is idk if out of nervous or just because he's very polite, he just grabs my hand and kisses it. and i nearly combust. Arthur will probably be enjoying himself with that cocky look he puts when he wants you to know he's not gonna let you live that down. but anyways, the rest of the party continues with sneaky and stolen glances from each other, nothing more. the love will develop progressively i think. specially when we'll end up getting paired in some little trips or adventures. you know the witch and the knight type of story. tho he's slightly different from the tv show, physically and also in personality (because the show didn't developed him at all), so yea he's quite honourable, responsible and stuff but he's just a silly little guy aswell, very intelligent and funny.
asides from that, i'm very very excited to wander and hang out with merlin. he's the warlock in court and he is, supposedly, (huge impact in that) training me to be another magician, but the thing is he's not so much more advanced than me in that regard, so we are both like little ducklings going to gaius and nimue when we have a problem or we fucked things up. and somehow the times we fuck up gawain tends to be involved 🧐🧐 but we'll always have lance to help us clean the mess ofc.
i'm also very excited about portraying the whimsy nymph kind of person at court in the sense of wandering through the forest, brew potions and befriend every possible creature, no matter how large or dangerous. people just go like:"....you are scared of the dark but not about befriending a freaking winged lion?". i think it's a very cool ability. its not like being able to talk with animals per se , more like i read them very well and the aura i emanate just calms them and make them feel safe, so they don't see me as a prey in some cases nor as a menace/predator in others, if that makes sense.
i think these images encapsulate this really well lmaoo:
Alsoooo, since Morgana isn't going evil, we'll end up being those cottagecore witchy best friends, her, Gwen, and me. She and Gwen are the bestest. And yeah, magic isn't forbidden here; it's fully integrated into society, so I bet there would be a lot of druids and pagan festivities as well. Overall, the world is just a little bit kinder. Nature feels more magical, and you can really sense magic because it's basically everywhere: people have light in their houses, running hot water, and even sort of fridges and freezers, all powered by magic. You know, as if Shrek + Ella Enchanted + the medieval 2000s core of A Knight's Tale were all merged into one world.
aaand Queen Ygraine loves me. I'm like her protégée. that's basically why I'm at court in the first place (though, of course, also because of the magic and the fact that I need to learn how to control it). She never really hesitated to let me stay, and since I've never quite beaten the shy, weird girl allegations, i have favoritism on my side because she kind of sees a bit of herself in me . I'm practically adopted by the Queen at this point so her and Nimueh act like mother figures while I'm living away from my parents.
That being said, I'm thinking of having my brother move to Camelot too. I actually asked him (in this CR), and he said he'd like to join the Knights' Guard, so maybe that way I'd feel a little more at home. Of course, Arthur and Morgana are like family to me as well, but you know, it's never awful to have people you care about sharing experiences with you.
i haven't really thought about much more scenarios tbh, but i just know Arthur is going to annoy the hell out of me and i will no hesitate to call him out. and then he will do something nice or kind and thoughtful in his own way and i will feel bad and think "perhaps im too snappy at him". but then morgana will tell me he desserved it anyway, and we will move on. if my real brother doesn't fight with me or annoy me, Arthur will surely do.
finallyy a last appreciation post of some of the dresses i'd like to wear:
my apologies as i took so long, i had it on my drafts for a while and couldn't decide when to post it because of my perfectionism and because of the enslaved state uni put me in lmaooo 😔. but im finally free!! and apologies for any mistake i could have made, english is not my first language.
