Tumblr's May Day Parade 2024!
Calling all Arthurian creators!
This May 2024 let's celebrate Arthurian Legend in all its bloody spring time glory with our unique creations and contributions to this ongoing tradition. Artforms of every variety welcome and encouraged. The May-themed prompts are...
May 1-5: Morbid Month of May {May King Mordred}
“Know that he will be born the first day of May in the kingdom of Logres.” —Post Vulgate
May 6-10: Queenly Month of May {May Queen Guinevere}
“Seeing it now, this crown of swords...Guinevere is the only one who knew where it was.” —Alliterative Morte
May 11-16: Lusty Month of May {Free Space/Flower Festival}
“Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That lovely month when ev'ryone goes Blissfully astray.” —Camelot Musical
May 17-21: Grumpy Month of Kay {Seneschal Celebration}
“Sir Kay, the Seneschal. Is that your name?...Now wit ye well that ye are named the shamefullest knight of your tongue that now is living.” —Le Morte d'Arthur
May 22-26: May le Fay {The Anti-Queen Morgan}
“Now come forward and see a king's daughter wield a sword.” —Post Vulgate
May 27-31: May Day Melee {Violence is Romance Enacted in Blood}
“A melee quickly ensued in which a large number of knights took part; spearheads and broken shafts soon covered the ground.” —The Crown
✧✧✧
Rules: Each prompt allows 5 days except for free/flowers which is 6 days. All mediums accepted: Illustrations, paintings, writing, music, videos, gifsets, webweaves etc. No AI generated content.
Remember to tag #May Day Parade and @queer-ragnelle so I can reblog your creations! If you have any questions feel free to ask. :^) Good luck!

Too many of my neighbours have gotten themselves caught up in a false idea of success. White picket fences. Two-point-three-five children. A career that advances. All of these things are impossible now, for a variety of reasons that all rhyme with the sentence "rich people said no."
That's what we in the engineering world call "a constraint." Engineers are used to rich people getting upset about things like properly bolted-on fenders, fully-welded roll cages, and not having a big ol' hole in the side of the space shuttle. They want to hold onto as much of their ill-gotten blood money as possible. Your job is to subtly undermine them, working around the specific letter of their wording to implement the best shit possible. This is because everyone knows that if anything goes wrong, your ass is the one that's getting in trouble instead of Uncle Pennybags.
So, how do we make irrelevant the fact that the limitless promise of capitalism is, at best, an illusion? Getting real weird with it is my usual choice. Human creativity can come up with any number of totally unprofitable but somewhat enjoyable endeavours that you can be doing, instead of work for The Man.
Sure, they're gonna catch you and yell at you for doing things like "spot-welding together some reclaimed yard-lantern batteries on your company-approved ergonomic productivity pod's work-surface." Take heart: HR had to learn a whole lot of words to write up that complaint. They are irreversibly changed by that encounter. Maybe one day, the trauma will resurface in a strange way, and they'll start collecting old tractor tires, building a model train layout, or throwing tinfoil-wrapped rocks at the Amazon drones charging on the overhead power lines. That can be your legacy. Now isn't that a lot better than having to remember how to maintain a lawnmower?

if I may reminisce for a moment. one of the most vile parts of the ~2016 surge in acephobia on this site was when acephobes would pretend it was lesbophobic for ace ppl to warn each other off of blogs with “lesbian” and “allo” in the url, when in fact that was an extremely common naming convention in acephobe circles and those urls were very much chosen deliberately to signal their viewpoint
#would see that sentiment daily for months and months#every single time I saw a blog with that naming convention I would compulsively check their content#a vast majority of the time their blog would be practically dedicated to spreading hate#one of the most insane and underaddressed moments in tumblr history tbh#that shit ruined actual real life friendships for me

To me, reading Le Morte d’Arthur felt like following a trail of breadcrumbs looking for the loaf of bread and never finding it.
The Vulgate is the whole bakery.
