Talking About the Mundane, Headcanons, and Meta

Introduction

Welcome to my second ship manifesto, and this time I would like to re-visit an old topic I already talked about a few years ago. I’ll be talking about Cravex and Mortdred, and why I love this couple so much!

Yes, Visionaries is the cartoon that just keeps giving because I’m still finding things to talk about. And yes, I’m going to be talking Mortdred and Cravex, again. But, it’s in a more romantic angle than my last study about them. Mainly, I can’t hide my bias with these two and I feel this will allow me to explain some points further than last time.

I know some people will feel as though I’m reaching with this one. Don’t say it because I have my moments where I feel like I am. But, this is a ship manifesto so this is more for fun. It’s also mainly, due to how short this series is, a lot of it is my own interpretations and speculations on these two because they’re were one of the many characters that didn’t get it a chance. So, some of it is more covert in nature (I’m looking at you, Cravex). So please excuse me for becoming unhinged in this work. As I said before, I’m biased about them.

So, I will be retreading some areas if you haven’t read my character analyses about these two, and relationship study. Also, I wanted to talk about some new things I’ve found along with some points I’ve missed in my relationship study. Plus, an interpretation I had of Mortdred that in hindsight was completely wrong.

And without further ado, let’s get right to it.

Note(s): I always find myself writing him having trouble sleeping. He just gives me that feeling that on some nights, he just cannot fall sleep.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and enjoy!

Summary: He saw the horses during the tour, and for a moment he was at peace.

Cravex can't sleep and tries to list a few positives of potentially having a steady job. This leads to him reminiscing a little bit of his old life before the Cataclysm.

Note(s): Finally, I'm back to writing some new material! It's been awhile, hasn't it? The job search still sucks, so I decided to take my mind off of it and write something fluffy for a change.

I think Lexor in the comic deserves to have something good happen to him for once. So, I thought about what happened in the third issue, The Star Stone, in the background with him and Virulina, and it went from from there.

I still hold the opinion that either Cravex in the cartoon or Lexor in the comic would be better boyfriends to Mortdred than Darkstorm.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by, as always.

Summary: Lexor gives Mortdred a modest bouquet as a token of his thanks -along with some hidden feelings for the steward-. But, how Mortdred will react is what worries him the most.

Summary: “Ever since Leoric and Fletchen met, well, I do enjoy her company, don't get me wrong, but I’ve been feeling-” he paused, he could feel his cheeks warming up.

It was the morning after Leoric and Fletchen's wedding, and Feryl was having trouble coming to terms with that fact. But, an unlikely friend would step in to help him out.

Chapter Summary: ‘Darkstorm hasn’t been himself for awhile now. He seems more upset than usual, but this battle is most fortunate for me.’

Mortdred strays away into the foggy woods, far from the battle between the  Darkling Lords and Spectral Knights, but he has his sights on a wolf  roaming these parts. And he will gladly slay Feryl for his master.

But was following such a whim a good idea?

Summary: "When I woke up, I was a Phylot."

Cravex finds himself trapped in an abandoned zoo that leads to the Lost Shrine. Unable to transform back into his human form, he sees that the other knights and lords have met the same fate. Infuriated, he develops an idea. As he attempts to make his escape, he can't help but wonder to himself; why does it feel like he might be forgetting someone?

Author's Note: I want to give a huge thank you to The-06 on Tumblr for beta reading the story. Without her, I don't think I would ever finish it.
