No theme rn b/c tumblr is being a butt, however the important pages are up and linked. Head canons will be moved over later via queue lol. All in all not a whole lot is changing, but if you refollow please check the pages out anyways?

         ❝Oh my, small number it is it still quite few that have fallen… So they are curse and a way hasn’t been figured out on how to remove it?❞

         ❝Oh, are the cupcakes cursed?❞

It’s not that she wanted to move this fast but anything she seemed to do, her body was working at a fast speed. She tried to slow down but it seemed a bit painful. “Ate a… cupcake. Do things… very fast.” She tried to stay still but she seemed to fidget for some reason. 

         “Darling, I beg of you do not eat any of the cupcakes.”

Seeing her dad figure, she couldn’t help but approach him even close to crying as she did so. “Idunno!IjustatethiscupcakeanditwasreallygoodbutIstartedtoactlikethisafterwards!” Even as she was explaining, her talking and any hand movements seemed to be exaggerated because of the speed she seems to be going at. Estelle really didn’t like this at all.

          “What is wrong with you?”

Honestly? Probably yes. Will he admit to that? No never.

I also wouldn’t put it past him to use his 9 days/nights of no sleep to get work done.

Now, I will note that these powers are normally attributed to Cei, which is the Welsh name for Kay. As the mythology continued to be told and retold over the centuries, finally written down, and ultimately translated into the different languages a lot of these abilities got lost or completely removed from “Kay” as we know him today. But that’s not the point.

As mentioned he can go 9 days and 9 nights without breathing... and without sleeping. Yeah op didn’t mention that one! It was quite a useful ability for him as he used it in a rescue missing during Culhwch and Olwen, and then I believe in a different documents to save the butts of some of his fellow knights.

As mentioned he is a human space heater, he is able to radiate heat to the point of it being said that “when rain was the heaviest, a hand-breadth before his hand and another behind his hand what would be in his hand would be dry, by reason of the greatness of his heat; and when the cold was hardest on his comrades, that would be to them kindling to light a fire.”

Kay growing power isn’t just to “giant size”, specifically he is said to be able to grow “as tall as the tallest tree if he pleased”. By the way the tallest tree recorded for us modern folk is 379.5 feet ( 115.7 m ) and it’s name is Hyperion.

Now, not named in that post is that it’s said when he “carries a burden, be it great or small, it will never be seen, neither from in front nor from behind”. As well as “none will endure fire nor water as well as he”, though no further explanation is given. Also his sword, while unnamed as far as I know, is enchanted so that any wound caused “can not be healed by any physician.”
