miscellaneous_section: An older knight petting a cat after saving it from under rubble. (cindarr)

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.

I watched Strange Aeons' video (here) about Internet Archaeology and the website Blingee. While the video was made two months ago, I checked to see if Blingee was still around. It's a yes, but no kind of deal. You can still go there but the developers are doing major re-hauls leaving this message behind here. So, I found a couple of alternatives: Picmix (here) and Online Image Editor (here). I went with Picmix and I am having the time of my life!

I don't have an account, but It's just so fun creating these gifs and edits. I'm so glad it exist! Here are a couple of them that I posted on Pillowfort.

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.

This ficlet takes place during the "The Trail of the Three Wizards" episode, somewhere about halfway through the second act.

Without further ado, enjoy!

This piece of fanart was posted back in 2021 on Pillowfort, and I wanted an excuse to use that new white gel pen I bought. Surprisingly, I still like it! :D

Cross posting from Pillowfort; I made this moodboard over three years ago. I still like how it came out, and I would like to get back into some day.

So in Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, there are moments where Mortdred shows impressive feats of strength. Seriously, he's pretty damn strong from these two episodes here and here. I like to headcanon that the other strong guys keep freaking out a little whenever Mortdred does the same thing that they can do, if not the task itself has more weight to it. Also, Mortdred can totally carry Cravex bridal style -full armor, no less- and it's like carrying a watermelon around for him.



I got to re-draw this piece one of these days.

Ah, the very first piece of meta I've posted on AO3 and the path for the Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light getting some tags wrangled up. Personally, some of it felt like I was stretching at times but I genuinely thought there was a potential in their dynamic/relationship. I'm a fan odd-ball pairings in general; two vastly different personalities somehow making it work is a classic.

I do have a piece of meta about another odd-ball pair, but that's mainly a ship manifesto for a different cartoon and I don't want to spam my journal.

Anyway, you can read it on AO3, here, or down below if you like.

I posted this back in June 18th, 2020 for the March Meta Matters Challenge along with Meta Manifesto 2020 Fest. I'm still proud of it and I find myself re-reading it to this day.

I wanted to write about my favorite Darkling Lord, Cravex, because he has many (potential) layers to his character than most fans will ever talk about or even explore in fanfiction. In essences, I wanted to share what I thought of him and maybe someone felt the same way that I do.
