How did the knight and the princess meet?? Maybe she's the mischievous type and sneaked out that one time but he saved her from trouble OR maybe the queen was looking to hire a bodyguard and she personally chose price! The princess managed to make all her previous bodyguards quit and the queen was just fed with it😂 Sorry my mind is just full of ideas 🤣

No sorries!! I love it

Price is captain of the royal knights and has been for years because he rose the ranks to it since he was basically a child. So you two sorta knew each other since then.

You have a tendency, even in the past, to sneak out and go places where you shouldn’t as a princess so you had a few bodyguards in the past but none of them ever caught you.

Eventually around the ages of like 20-24 he was assigned as your bodyguard to stop you from sneaking out and suddenly you couldn’t go anywhere alone.

Price was too good and ever since he’s stuck by your side because of the queen.

You’ve known each other for a long long time now and you’ve mostly given up on trying to sneak away (sometimes you try still) because he’s gotten really good at catching you, to the point that he knows what you’re planning on doing before you do.

#knight!price #princess!reader #you’re a couple years younger than him but not that much #and yeah it’s like not historically accurate #that you’re a princess and not married at a big adult age #but shhhhhh #just let me have this

"... afraid she was no longer there, and eager to see her, the lover turned his eyes. in an instant she dropped back, and he, unhappy man, stretching out his arms to hold her and be held, clutched at nothing but the receding air. dying a second time, now, there was no complaint to her husband (what, then, could she complain of, except that she had been loved?) ..."

Accurate Reenactments Based On Facts

Most cultures across the Galaxy do their utmost to preserve and remember their history, both the great achievements, and the terrible mistakes. Humans go a few dozen steps further.

They introduced us to a concept called "Historical reenactments" - accurate recreations of the situations and conditions of ancient events, usually battles, played out with prop equipment by real people. They also said they sometimes do these just for fun and don't care about being 100% accurate.

This particular reenactment was of a battle called Thermopylae. Using numerous historical records, they recreated the location, printed slightly lighter versions of the armor (well, helmets only for some) they wore, and dull weapons with embedded stun shockers that would create a kinetic "bump" upon contact to prevent actual injury by pushing the person back instead.

Once everyone was geared up the atmosphere changed, both visually as the holographic projectors did their thing, and from the Humans themselves - their demeanor became that of... wilderness. Ferocity. Deadly focus. It was quite fear inducing even from afar.

Then the defenders in red, the "Spartans", created a sort of spiky dome with their shields and spears. Then the attackers in blue, the "Persians" unleashed a terrifying volley of arrows, the sky hologram went darker, then a bright beam of light shone upon the defenders as they swept off arrows stuck to their shields in dramatic fashion before proceeding to charge towards their assaulting foes.

We noticed the "Spartans" were all much larger than the "Persians", and actually were equipped with subtle and very modern exoskeletons. Perplexed by this we asked if these Spartans had a very particular technological advantage for their time:

"Well, not as far as we can tell, but based on the materials we have, Spartans were, like, really buff and super strong compared to the average person of the time. Plus, according to the feats of strength they supposedly displayed, we suspect they became an extinct branch of Humanity at some point, so the exoskeletons are there to mimic what we think they were like. Anyway, look, this is the coolest part."

As they spoke, the artificial gravity was lowered slightly and there was a spike in the power output from the exoskeleton equipped Spartans. Now they were flinging the approaching Persians dozens of feet into the air, a single bare-chested man kicked three of them at once backwards at a whole group, knocking the wind out of them.

This sort of extreme violence continued for several minutes.

Suddenly, an incredibly large Persian man on a throne was carried to what was effectively the center stage. Him and a heavily bearded Spartan exchanged a dramatic dialogue, the Spartan threw his spear at the Persian, who dodged it with a single turn of his head, then proceeded to summon a massive horde of small Persians who quickly began to overrun the Spartans.

There were bodies and shields and spears and pieces of armor flying everywhere, but gradually all the red became engulfed by the blue, and only one remaining Spartan managed to wriggle his way out of the carnage and make a run for it back to their city in the distance.

Seemingly satisfied after plucking out the bearded Spartan from the pile, the giant Persian roared in triumph and this is when the reenactment ended and everyone gathered for a feast.

So this is how ancient Human Battles went, huh.

"Well, not all of them. Usually it's between more equal forces in large open fields, or prolonged sieges, which can be a bit boring to recreate.

You should come back next month, we'll be doing an old naval battle between the British Empire and Independent Pirates Lords. It ends with a really sweet whirlpool showdown. Man, what are the odds of that happening, eh?"

#humans are space orcs #humans are space oddities #humans are space australians #humans are deathworlders #humanity fuck yeah #story #carionto #300 #reenactment #pirates of the caribbean #humans like movies #movies are historically accurate if you've gone through several civilization collapses

It’s finally mermay so you know what that means-

Beakheron pirate au let’s goooooo

Black Heron is the princess of a corrupt monarchy in a seaside kingdom, she hasn’t inherited the crown yet but she’s already cruel and ruthless and would rule with an even more brutal government when she does.

Beakley is a pirate captain who goes around doing piracy while also trying to take down the terrible monarchy- and unbeknownst to anyone but her closest crewmates she is also a siren. She has a few run-ins with the princess and every time they’ve tried to kill each other.

One night Heron ends up nearly drowning in the ocean (not. sure why tho.) only to be saved by a certain siren that happened to be in the area. Beakley doesn’t recognize her until after she’s already ensured she’ll live- much to her chagrin. Herons mostly out of it when she’s rescued and in a very Little Mermaid fashion doesn’t recognize her rescuer, not putting it together at all that it’s her worst enemy. Beakley later kidnaps Heron for a ransom, and it’s during that prolonged meeting that something of a romance starts 💕👀

#DOOMED YURI DOOMED YURI DOOMED YURI #I gave heron cursed long hair #I HAD to make beakley and octopus siren too like. required #bentina beakley #mrs beakley #mrs. beakley #black heron #beakheron #beakheron pirate au #Yeah so it’s pirate/siren/royalty wahoooooo #this one takes place over the course of like. 40 years like their canon relationship #(there’s the young versions of them and the older ones)#so it’s from late 1600s to early 1700s and I’ll tryyyyyy to keep it more historically accurate but. we’ll see #<- NOT WITH THE LANGUAGE THO #looking for references for herons formal dress and found that cool circle pattern #I used it because it looked vaguely like octopus tentacles like cmon #I fucking love their designs too like Beakleys sea star boots and squid skull and herons poofy sleeves beloved #ducktales #ducktales 2017 #dt17 #duckverse #wackys art

Do Clerics have like. Doctor-patient confidentiality in general?

[Shrek meme: "They don't even have HIPAA"]

Nope. ZERO protections babey, the Cleric is a tiny Pope without a funny hat. They can do whatever they want unless the OTHER unaccountable religious cult leader decides to do something about it.

Cats like Featherwhisker, Spottedleaf, Runningnose, and Jayfeather are hit with realizations about this. For a few simple restrictions... you have nearly unquestionable power. You answer directly to StarClan. The amount of influence you have over a Clan is actually kind of insane.

The "Leader's Rights" and "Cleric's Vow" commandments were attempts to reign in the power of Clerics, with a lot of collateral damage. The Cleric is only overruled by the direct command of a leader, which means that the Cleric can ALWAYS act first unless the Leader pre-empts them.

Pearstar was a Cleric who violently overthrew Morningstar, before the invention of the Leader's Rights. The Leader's Rights were created in response to Larkstripe's Cleric Strike.

#did you know hipaa didn't exist until 1996 #Your doctor could literally just phone your boss and blabber about your mental health disorder #It's so universal NOW that it's easy to forget this was not a value historically #But yeah no I chose the word CLERIC for a reason. They really are like high-ranking members of the clergy #I once half-jokingly referred to Fire as the Thunderpope and like... that's accurate.#Clan Culture #Queen's Rights #Better bones au #Also btw I'm thinking about giving Clerics a staff for smacking things with #Allow them to be the ONLY cats in a Clan who are allowed to regularly use weaponry #And also because Cinderpelt deserves it. I want to see her spear something to death tbh #Me when a girlie is on screen: ``What if she was armed tho.``

I don't know how I'd ever convey this in art but. Thinking very deeply about how in boy king au, a very crucial part of characterization is that Seb is a wolf in sheep(or lamb more specifically)'s clothing and Fernando is a sheep in wolf's clothing.

Seb is very unassuming, very delicate, seemingly very vulnerable and malleable. But, deep down, he can be very ruthless. It's in the the way he hesitantly declares war, with a spark in his eye and a suppressed smirk. In the way he challenges someone to a card game or a horse race, proclaiming that he's not great, but winning every round and prancing around the room and mentioning it ad infinitum. The way he's able to instantly turn the tide in a debate in one fell swoop. By showing all his cards constantly and letting himself be vulnerable, he's making himself invulnerable. No one would ever consider him to be able to make big moves, so he wins every single time, because no one even thinks to expect it from him.

Fernando on the other hand, is constantly committed to having a looming presence and harsh reputation, but deep down, he's soft. He knows what happens to people when they're vulnerable, and he's not going to let himself be taken advantage of. The way he keeps a brave face when being informed of the marriage proposal, but goes back to his room and cries. The way he proclaims that he was always going to be the rightful ruler of Spain, but confides to Flavio that he never thought there was any real chance of it ever happening. The way he takes himself so seriously in public, but inside feels so giddy whenever he can make someone laugh. Everything to him always feels unstable and ready to crumble at any moment, and he's not willing to contribute to that by letting himself relax.

I think thats why it's very difficult for them to get along at first, because they have completely different approaches to how they carry themselves and make their way through life. Seb is confused at Fernando because he feels that he's very bland and overly serious at first, but truthfully he's not really seeing the actual Fernando. And Fernando finds Seb to be naive and easily taken advantage of, but that's because he's never seen Seb at his most cruel. Seb really loves when he eventually gets to see Fernando being vulnerable, and Fernando really admires and respects Seb when he sees him being serious. I think it just takes a while for them to show the other their full and complete selves, even the parts they can sometimes be ashamed of. There's this very compelling dichotomy in Seb laying out all his cards, but still being very difficult to read, and Fernando keeping his cards to his chest, but his intentions often being easily seen through.

#meanwhile everyone else: what is this weird fucked up mating ritual they are participating in #though i think its very interesting how their motivations differ #seb wants to lull people into a false sense of security(and also really just likes to be his complete unadulterated self)#and fernando is guarding himself because he doesn't want to get hurt #and i think seb convinces Fernando that its okay to be openly soft and yourself :) not eveyrone is out to get you #and fernando teaches seb hey maybe dont invite this obvious assassin to your chambers?????#i think seb also has insecurites but Fernando's are just more easy to explain bcs hes in a much more difficult situation #at the end of the day both of them are putting on facades in some way #(i think seb likes to be himself but also does feel really hurt when people dont think he has the capacity or ability to rule effectively)#(he likes to be kind and playful and doesnt want to obscure that part of himself. but hes aware it can hurt his image unfortunately)#also lol the way i characterize fernando is very historically accurate btw #bcs the spanish court tradition was basically to be above it all and be a lofty unobtainable figure if that makes sense #yknow having just this insane level of confidence and infallible image of yourself as the ruler #the guy seb is based on really bought into that idea but i dont think it really suits seb so yeah #seb I think is very much a unique figure that others have a lot of trouble reading him and his intentions. which is great!#AAAAAHHH MAN FELT REALLY GOOD TO WRITE ALL THAT OUT !!!!!!!!!#i love writing their characterization so fucking much you dont understand #its nice to put it in words like this bcs yknow i dont rly enjoy actual writing. but this i enjoy greatly #hope this is compelling to more than just me hahaha #boy king au #catie.rambling.txt #vettonso

So this is my review of Die Kaiserin season 1:

#it is so historically inaccurate oml #i would like to see an actual accurate portrayal one day #but it's fine to watch when you know the aim wasn't to be accurate #and it was written in such a way that made you wanna keep going so that's nice #did laugh at the angry sex scene tho 💀 sir what was that #somehow i enjoyed the series despite its faults #and will i watch the second season if it comes out? absolutely lmao #this is the only period drama made recently that i can stand #also certain moments were ABSOLUTELY mirroring/lifted from Marie Antoinette 2006 #anyway yeah i am on the fence #it is bad but it is also good if you just accept it wasn't trying to be accurate at all #would like to see a version where she doesn't madly love franz tho bc the girl was not nearly that interested in him if at all irl #die kaiserin #the empress #2022 #period drama #costume drama

I’m assuming this is a picture of them out in the shops, pretty basic. What got me wondering was the little look they’re sharing. Like they’ve got a secret or an inside joke. What could they be buying that would bring about this teasing look? And then it hit me…

What if they’re buying the mirror???

#polin #bridgerton #the mirror #like they’ve had naughty times and Colin said the whole in front of the mirror thing #but now they need to buy the mirror #and this is their little look like yeah #we’re going to fuck in front of this mirror #I have no clue if it’s historically accurate that shop vendors sold large mirrors #and I don’t care

#saw a good tweet about this today actually #about how like #there's a difference between fate stay night making artoria a girl #which ties into her backstory and is explored in an interesting way #and ultimately just adds another layer to the king arthur myth #compared to now in fgo making the 300th waifuified skimpily dressed historical figure #fate (when it's good) is yeah not accurate #but it keeps the spirit of the myth #creating its own myth by weaving together various interpretations and new ideas #babbage being a robot is not 'historically accurate' but it makes sense because he was one of the inventors of computers #vs (as the tweet i saw mentioned) making zenobia into a lazy fanservice design while taking away her agency and making her masochist #erases the meaning of her story completely #perverting it really #i think honestly complaining ABOUT people complaining about how fate handles characters #is honestly selling the series you like short #the people who are complaining are doing it BECAUSE they know fate can be good #and make really good interesting characters and interpret history well #and if you don't get that then you're underestimating fate's ability to be good #and treating it as just another shitty waifu game when it's way more than that #ok rant over sorry #sfw #fandom criticism #fate series criticism

Omg are people complaining that the exchange didn't include enough old white racist guys or something?!! Maybe not all spaces are FOR them! Thank you for running the exchange and I'm looking forward to next month!

No, no, we're all good, no one complained, I just personally think that in the future I want to clarify that the events are for creative works involving LMM's OCs in the hit musical Hamilton, and not the actual historical figures - especially considering the idea involving rare pairs which deer brought up; I suppose the pool for those would be much larger and potentially less fun for musical fans if these events were planned to include the AmRv figures!

#hella okay with people making their own amr v events!! but these are for the braindead musical girlies 🥰#ov made a good point of saying that bringing historically accurate figures into ham events would be like bringing the 1776 musical versions #yeah they're based on the same people; but the fans engaging with it are different!#i hope this makes sense 🙏🏻

what was your inspiration to create your game? how was the creation process?

all the best, and good luck with the game! :D

OOO I CAN DEFINITELY ANSWER THIS!!

My inspiration for Weeping Rosemary was? a bit varied throughout it's creation, since I had first conceptualized it in 2018. I don't recall what led me to it, but I remember first creating Ophelia and drawing her around this time.

Weeping Rosemary was originally a webcomic series, since it was what I knew best and what was easier for me around this time, even though I always imagined it as a game in my heart. However, uni came along and made me too busy to continue it - which, to be honest, might have been a blessing in disguise LMAO

The story of Weeping Rosemary was... not well written at all. Coming out of the hands of a teen who's main consumption of media was edgy horror manga, or really outdated harem anime; the writing of it was so juvenile and cringe ( and not in a 'but free' way! )

As I got older, and my interests expanded, as well as my own growth within myself - it affected a lot of how Weeping Rosemary has changed and developed.

Now, for what inspired - a lot of it is the gothic! And not gothic as in like, the fashion & makeup, etc. ( though I still like these elements a lot ); but the books of gothic novellas! The books that mainly inspired me being:

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter

And then of course, movies such as Crimson Peak, directed by Guillermo del Toro, and the series Penny Dreadful. They are other media I like as well that have inspired me, but I can't comment solidly as I only know them from an outside POV ( for now ), like Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, and Bram Stoker's Dracula, for example.

I really like sensual ( sexy? ) horror, that does a nice balance of blending in elements of sexuality with terror - and I feel that gothic novellas do a nice balance of this; which is what I plan ( and hopefully succeed ) in with Weeping Rosemary's full game. It's also why WR's horror is not, like, a loud jumpscare horror, moreso than a subtle horror.

As for the creation process - The game production had commenced around February of this year, as it was my final semester as a art student. I had to do a thesis and all I knew was that I realllllly wanted to make a game, but I was unsure of what. I decided to revise and redo Weeping Rosemary, my webcomic, because I felt confident that I could not only give it the writing it deserved, but make into the game I always imagined!

My dear friend & classmate had the program, and she gave me hers, and so I got to work! Weeping Rosemary became my thesis, and I had completed the demo game around?? April 30th?

I'll show in the images below, but I had done a lot of writing; around almost 30 pages of script writing and 5 page outline to hand to my professor so he could see my plan. And then a lot of thumbnail planning and art to make for the CG and sprites! As well as see what art style would suit the game best.

Some progress shots, to show the general gist:

See the thing about not easily conquered is that it’s superseded. that’s what happened. To me ❤️

#my sister was like yeah it’s taken over the movie for me I’m like no #the movie is the movie #bucky barnes got his 13 letters published in real life.#i read them standing up in barnes & noble because i didn’t want to buy the textbook for my class <3 #sorry we were just talking about how she cracked 2 weeks after I had my meltdown and reread lol #like im aware this is an insane thing to post a full 2 weeks after we thought I was done with posting. unfortunately noa operates on a delay #anyway #marvel #immediately wished I hadn’t posted this but I don’t delete posts. my blog is an accurate historical record :/

"Steve's super smart and a great artist and really funny and has a pretty face and beautiful blue green eyes and a deep voice and likes reading and he's really kind and speaks Gaelic fluently and is a Good Catholic Boy™ (a lie)"

Also why did Beardalina get so offended when Steve offered her peanuts. I do Not understand that at all

Poor Bucky, wanting nothing more than to wax poetic about Steve's aquamarine eyes and hollywood starlet eyelashes and fearless integrity and intelligence and artistic gift and baritone singing voice, only for it to backfire because his girl's plus one is always a fuckn incel idiot who resting-bitchface's her way out of the best thing that ever would've happened to her, if only she didn't believe that none of those qualities could possibly exist in a short disabled man! 🙄
