Got to see my favorite painting of Morgan le Fay in real life at the Victorian Radicals exhibit! An unexpected surprise. Details and colors were amazing. #morganlefay #arthurian #merlin #kingarthur #victorianradicals #artmuseum #artistsoninstagram #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writersofig #amwriting #graphicnovelist #lefayseries https://www.instagram.com/p/B18_r2RjYJT/?igshid=1mmzwqi7er5pq

That love business is a powerful thing. Greater than gravity? Well, yes. In its way, yes, I’d say it’s the greatest force on Earth. - Arthur to Merlin I remember from the entire movie I still remember this one quote till now. . . . #theswordinthestone #disneyfanart #disney #disneymovies #disneyart #disneyarts #disneyartwork #disneyfanarts #disneygram #disneylove #kingarthur #arthurandmerlin #fanart #animationart #disneyanimation #characterdesign #chibi #disneychibi #chibiartwork #JDart #disneycharacters #instarts #acrylpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CA40PxzB0ZK/?igshid=1ohqakn9h8jb
‘Don’t the great tales never end?’ ‘No, they never end as tales,’ said Frodo. `But the people in them come, and go when their part’s ended. Our part will end later - or sooner.’ ~ Tolkien — To be alive today means that you are part of a great story. The story of the race of men. And everything you do plays a part in that. Some parts are more visible, some are remembered longer. But every single person that is born on to this earth is part of that story. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you don’t matter. It’s easy to feel like you are not a worthy part of that tale or that you should just end your part. But nothing could be further from the truth. This is not a “feel good/self esteem” sentiment. It’s the truth. What you do matters. Your part in the story matters. No matter if you are a president or a prisoner, a bishop or a beggar, play it well. — #medieval #book #tale #story #legend #kingarthur #knight #king #chainmail #sword #reading #adventure #literature #lotr #tolkien #prince #princess https://www.instagram.com/p/CM2oRnOnyNS/?igshid=j3o6i5afsa6p
“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers — As long as evil exists, so must war. As long as some prey on the innocent, others must fight–and die–to protect them. So raise a glass to the living, and hail the victorious dead! — I’ve always loved this quote. I think it perfectly honors the most noble aspirations of those who fight to defend others. It’s why we chose it for the name of our beer collaboration with @13stripesbrewery when they asked us what summed up what Fell & Fair is about. While we all wish (and fight) for a world of peace, at this time that is a dream beyond any of us. So in a world where War Must Be, and especially on this #VeteransDay let us indeed honor those who signed up to pay the price, up to and including their last breath, that others may be defended! —
“From the ashes, a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.” ~ Tolkien ~ —
Good leaders are hard to find. They always have been. I wrote this a year ago and it seems even more true today: “Oh how the heart soars at the mere mention of the return of a good king! We all want a real-life Aragorn. Though history constantly shows us bad examples of kingship, something inside us yearns for the truly good sovereign, one that we have never seen but we know can be. We look for a king that will cast down tyrants and bring justice and peace, a king that will serve his people to his very last breath, a king that will let no evil thing abide. It is as if all the failures in kingship, point to how great it will be to have a truly good King on the Throne. A once and future king in truth.” Thanks @asta.darling for reminding me of this today. — One of the pictures that inspired this photo was a book cover by @jasonchanart check him out! — #medieval #knight #sword #swords #bladesmith #king #kingarthur #aragorn #tolkien #lotr #lordoftherings #viking #vikings #norse #chainmail #armor #larp #cosplay #costumedesign #costumedesigner #crown #kingship https://www.instagram.com/p/CHQemjHnXOA/?igshid=1u0gtlaz3mhme

Good and Evil. Two sides of the same coin? Or something less defined, something more liminal?
Entertaining and always thought-provoking, author J.M. Frey offers a collection of remarkable short stories that explore the grey area of the hero/villain dichotomy in this short story collection. Heroes. Villains. Monsters. Fairy Tales. Myths. Legends.
Who is the good guy, who the bad, and who gets to decide which is which? After all, ‘hero’ is just another four letter word. . Link to books page with all retailer options in bio. . . .
Found another simple shot from Sakuracon thanks to a friend, and all I can think about is how good we look while just being huge dorks. Even though very few of our outfits go together, I always enjoy having a group of people from the same series just hanging out and being friends. Getting to make memories from your bond of a series and building upon new and old friendships is a big part of cosplay for me. The older I get the more I welcome those bonds because it builds upon a creative passion we all love to share! __________________________________
