Rambling about Mordred's hair, the King Tut exhibit, the mating habits of guinea pigs, and picspam.

I've been noticing something bizarre; Mordred is canonically fair-haired, but every picture of him I've seen shows him with black hair. My mental image of him includes black hair, which is weird, because while I don't remember any particular description in Malory or Tennyson, White calls him practically albino and Marion Zimmer Bradley gives him

i think this calls for an emo mordred icon

I think it does.

Hmm, I guess you managed to retain the canonical view. Shiny Mordred does have that element of surprise. :D

Mwhaha, I didn't even think of the number of moons- I wanted something to prop up the Flame pendant, and the stars and moons were just sitting around being magnetic, so I went for the Lanfear look.
The Great Serpent ring doesn't really look terribly like my mental image of it (although until I saw them for sale online, my mental image was basically of a wide gold ring with the Wheel and Serpent seal sort of stamped on the top) but it is fun to have one, no matter how silly-looking it is.

You are a far braver person than I.

Ouroboros! That is fun to say.
