#annowre

If you never seen the Shrek the third DVD, they have ACTUALL information on some of the students (worcestershire academy yearbook ) and low-key Annowre kinda gives me Joan Arc from Clone High. Which brings me to a whole other thing of WHY they didn’t just make a spin-off from the academy?? Either way in the yearbook (and the actual story, I know.) she have a crush on Artie which I thought was too cute not to make fan art! PLEASEE BE MORE SHREK THE THIRD FANS😭

[...]

I... don't know what to make of it.

A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.

Arthur’s mind was foggy. He closed his eyes, trying to clear it, and then looked again at Guinevere. Somehow, that only made him more confused.

She placed her hand on his. “Is there a problem, my dear?”

The way she said it was…wrong, somehow. Something about her voice, or the intonation…he narrowed his eyes at her. The fog in his head seemed to be swirling without actually clearing up.

“Guinevere? Is that you?”

She laughed in a way that made that wrongness even more acute.

“Of course, my lord. I am your queen. Did that silly imposter leave you confused?”

Her voice was too whispery, almost purring. But with a cold edge underneath. It didn’t sound like Guinevere at all.

Guinevere. There had been another one, another woman claiming to be his wife. And this one…seemed wrong…

The twin thoughts were spinning around in Arthur’s head. They wouldn’t stand still so that he could put them together, figure out the connection at the edge of his consciousness.

“Here,” said the strange Guinevere, holding out the goblet of wine to him again. “You’ll feel better once you’ve had a drink.”

Dimly Arthur thought that wine was only going to make him more confused, yet he couldn’t seem to stop himself from accepting the cup and bringing it to his lips.

It tasted odd, but as he drank, the fog in his mind seemed to clear. He sighed with relief as he put down the goblet. He blinked at Guinevere again, and it was Guinevere, because of course it was. It was her, not that other one that he loved. And at that moment, he wasn’t sure if he had ever loved her more.

“Better, my lord?”

Annowre

A very interesting question! If I had to rank them by power, I would say:

1) Nimue is definitely the most powerful. She defeats Annowre, she steals Merlin’s magic and “kills” him, and she is also saves Arthur from Morgana’s machinations. Definitely the winner.

2) Morgana has to be just after Nimue as the power of turning a bunch of people into stones seem quite useful and out of the realm of normal possibilities. Not to mention that she plays plenty of magical tricks all around and survives till the end to move to Avalon with Arthur’s half dead presence.

3) Merlin, sadly, has to get third place even if I would love to put someone else here first. But he is a powerful wizard, probably the most powerful one given the fact that he is a redeemed anti-Christ- still, he is defeated by Nimue and Morgana outlasts him, so he gets the third place.

4) Vivian (Lancelot’s adoptive mother) has a whole underwater kingdom that she protects from external influences and no one ever managed or tried to defeat her.

5) Every lady of the lake - I mean, living in a lake and appearing when most convenient: A+

6) Annowre as she got so CLOSE, so close to kill Arthur and she even managed to enchant him.

7) I suppose it goes to Morgana’s queens friends and Vortigern’s wizards.

Kings/Gym Leaders Part 2

Flying Type Leader:

King Lot

I mentioned in the Gawain post that his family had a tradition of receiving flying type egg when they come of age. So, Lot is a Flying Master. And after he dies, Gaheris is the Flying type but he and Agravaine will get their own joint post when the time comes.

Lot likes to parade Tropius and Archeops around. They are both extremely rare. Archeops was created from the fossil using magic. Tropius lies around and Lot picks a banana and gives it to someone. He likes getting bananas in a non tropical region. Morgause will always roll her eyes when he brags about them.

Anyway, the gym is broken up like the Orkney Islands. You have to fight a train on each little island and then you have to fly to the next island. And of course, it’s a puzzle, because you can go either of the directions and it might be wrong.

Charizard’s moves are Air Slash, Dragon Pulse, Fire Blast, and Solar Beam.

Archeops’ moveset is Rock Slide, Fly, Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw.

Emolga’s moves are Thunderbolt, Aerial Ace, Volt Switch and Light Screen.

Oricorio’s moves are Revelation Dance, Hurricane, Calm Mind and Air Slash.

Gliscor’s moveset is Earthquake, Poison Jab, Aerial Ace and Fire Fang.

Tropius’ moves are Solar Beam, Fly, Synthesis and Energy Ball.

Grass Type Leader:

Mistress Annowre

I was desperate for female leaders. She lives in an Enchanted Forest, so I picked grass. Also, I like how an Enchantress has a Parasect.

We will be playing with the Enchanted Forest theme for this gym. It’s a puzzle gym where a tree could be a tree, or a Trevenant. It also moves. Image the Lost Forest from Zelda.

Abomasnow’s moves are Leech Seed, Giga Drain, Blizzard and Earthquake.

Shiftry’s moves are Sucker Punch, Leafstorm, Rock Slide and Nasty Plot.

Trevenant’s moves are Will-O-Wisp, Wood Hammer, Shadow Claw and Protect.

Ferrothorn’s moves are Gyro Ball, Iron Defense, Spikes and Power Whip.

Parasect’s moveset is Body Slam, Spore, X-Scissor and Seed Bomb

Gogoat’s moves are Horn Leech, Rock Slide, Wil Charge and Toxic.

Poison Type Leader:

King Claudas

Evil man gets the type often used by the evil teams. After he dies, Morgause will take over as the Poison Master. But Morgause is special, so she gets her own post.

Claudas’ gym is in the dungeons. There is ooze coming from the falls and it’s dark. You might need a Pokémon who knows Flash or a torch. If you go in the wrong cell, the cell door closes and you have to fight the trainer for the key to go out. But of course you eventually end up meeting Claudas.

Venusaur’s moves are Sludge Bomb, Solar Beam, Earthquake and Leech Seed.

Weezing’s moveset is Shadow Ball, Clear Smog, Destiny Bond and Thunderbolt.

Amoonguss’ moves are Spore, Igraine, Sludge Bomb and Giga Drain.

Swalot’s moves are Ice Beam, Gastro Acid, Shadow Ball And Sludge Bomb.

Ariados’ moveset is Toxic, Spider Web, Big Bite and Sucker Punch.

Toxicroak’s moves are X-Scissor, Brick Break, Earthquake and Ice Punch.

Electric Type Leader:

King Cador

I’ll be honest, this was the last gym leader I figured out. I created the team before I figured who would own the team. I’m like Cador should be a gym leader, he raised Guinevere and he is very important. And only the electric type was left.

The gym is in a tin mine. To advance in the gym you have to mine for keys to go into the next room. One you find all the keys you can battle Cador.

Ampharos’ moves are Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt, Light Screen and Power Gem.

Luxray’s moves are Ice Fang,Wild Charge, Crunch and Superpower.

Galvantula’s moves are Thunder, Bug Buzz, Sticky Web and Energy Ball.

Eelektross’ moves are Spark, Energy Ball, Crunch and Coil.

Jolteon’s moves are Volt Change, Signal Beam, Shadow Ball and Thunder Wave.

Electivire’s moveset is Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Brick Break and Psychic.

Ground Type Leader:

Sir Hector de Maris

He took the gym after his father died. Lancelot didn’t want it, so he gave it to Hector. Ground is strong against poison and I would like to imagine that Hector is getting justice for the death of his father and uncle.

You get to the ruins of his father’s’ castle and you are wondering where’s the gym? You look through the ruins and find a doorway that goes underground. Then you see that the castle was reconstructed under the old castle. You have traps and zubats. It’s basically a mini cave.

Steelix’s moves are Dragon Tail, Rock Polish, Earthquake and Iron Head.

Donphane’s moveset is Stealth Rock, Earthquake, Stone Edge and Rapid Spin.

Gastrodon’s moveset is Scald, Earth Power, Ice Beam and Body Slam

Claydol’s moves are Toxic, Ice Beam, Earthquake and Psychic

Marowak’s moves are Fire Punch, Stone Edge, Earthquake and Swords Dance

Hippowdon’s moves are Ice Fang, Thunder Fang, Iron Head and Earthquake.
