(The young Duchess of Mandalore doesn’t like it very much when her Jedi Protector is not giving her his undivided attention)

#Satine Kryze #Duchess Satine #Obi Wan Kenobi #Obi Wan/Satine #obitine #Star Wars art #my art #pencil sketches #it is okay Satine he is just doing his job protecting you #he may be checking the exits but he is definitely thinking romantic thoughts while he does it

For all that Mandalore would paint Satine as their weakest ruler, she is the only ruler of Mandalore to have any Jedi willingly bow to them, let alone have a member of the Jedi Council willing to drop everything and fly across the galaxy on their request. Like having your people's sworn enemy bowing and obeying your orders without question is a pretty BA power move right there...

#like she opens her mouth to ask for help and obi is on his way #meanwhile bo will sit there begging ahsoka for help for weeks before she agrees to shut her up/because its the right thing to do #and most other rulers of mandalore would never even approach the jedi for help #star wars #duchess satine #satine kryze #mandalore #mandalorians #obitine #i love their disaster culture

Boba Fett 🤝 Sabine Wren 🤝 Din Djarin

Going through an unbelievably traumatic past, losing your family, getting cast out, throwing yourself into bounty hunting, but ultimately finding a new family and choosing to be good and kind despite everything

#boba fett #sabine wren #din djarin #the book of boba fett #star wars rebels #the mandalorian #was thinking about what little boba went through in clone wars (sent to prison? with hardened grown men? at 11??!?)#and that linked to thinking about sabine (all that stuff that happened with the duchess and the acedemy? yeah. she was like 14)#aaaannd that led to din (little din losing his family at like 7?)#and yeah it hardened them. they all ended up bounty hunters on their own (for a while)#but they found family and friends and they care? poetry. it’s poetry

thinking about star wars as gothic horror...

luke skywalker as the bright-eyed ingenue who comes to work in the half-rebuilt, half-burnt husk manor of the sinister lord palpatine, ignoring the dire warnings of old ben the groundskeeper who he is apprenticed under, and trying to unravel the mystery of the beautiful couple in all the curtained portraits, as well as the rumors of a horrifically burnt masked man who lives in the basement

#the shocking twist was that the manor is his inheritance from his mother padme #who was murdered by her husband after her kindly old uncle palpatine poisoned him against her #featuring han and chewie as the unsavory criminal and his loyal dog that luke befriends #and lovely duchess organa who is searching high and low for her long lost twin

For your Buggy in Wonderland AU, if Shanks is the Red Queen, when who is White Queen? Maybe Mihawk or Crocodile?

Ooh I have some lore for that!!

So originally, there was 3 main queendoms

Red, White, and Hearts

Shanks was set to be the next Red Queen after Red Queen Roger adopted him

Rosinante and Doflamingo's parents came from White and Hearts queendoms so Doffy was going to become Queen of Hearts and Rosi becomes White Queen

Rosi loves his brother but knows that Doffy isn't fit to rule Hearts queendom with how he never cares about them and he also doesn't want his role to be White Queen

He also knows that Shanks has the right to become Queen of Hearts too bc his og parents were from Hearts

So he secretly stages a coup w Shanks for him to take both roles and once everything is done, tries to destroy the White Queen throne

But then Wonderland refuses and instead shifts it into the Duchess role

On Doffy's side, he's forced to take the role of Cheshire Cat as part of the Duchess' Household, not aware that Rosi worked against him

He's incredibly mad that his birthright was taken from him but since the World actively worked against him by fully accepting Shanks as both Red Queen and Queen of Hearts, he couldn't do anything but seethe

As for Crocodile, he's the Caterpillar !! Or atleast a crocodile that calls himself a caterpillar 😂

Also, Law was meant to become the White Knight but instead was put in the role of the Duchess' Baby after the shift 😂😂

#buggy in wonderland au #asks #cora was originally going to be a cheshire cat w doffy but then I thought OH WHAT IF HE'S THE DUCHESS INSTEAD??#AND HIS TITLE CORAZON IS ACTUALLY DUCHESS CORAZON?? maybe bc of the Hearts influence since Hearts and Red are merged and the Duchess works-#-under the Queen of Hearts Shanks #BIWasks

dontstandmedown replied to this post:

re:tags could you share the playwright you're talking about? :0

No problem! For others, the tags in question are this:

#thinking about this partly because the softer & gentler versions of fanfic discourse keep crossing my dash #and partly because i've written like 30 pages about a playwright i adore who was just not very good at 'original fiction' as we'd define it #both his major works are ... glorified rpf in our context but splendid tragedies in his #and the idea of categorizing /anything/ in that era by originality of conception rather than comedy/tragedy/etc would be buckwild

I am always delighted to share the good news of John Webster! If you're not familiar with him, he was an early seventeenth-century English playwright known for being a slow, painstaking, but reliable writer. He did various collaborations with other playwrights (and acknowledges a bunch of his peers in an author's note to The White Devil, including Jonson and Shakespeare) and wrote some middling plays in various genres that could be more or less termed "original fiction," but he's remembered for two brilliant, bloody tragedies.

The basic premises/plots of both of these were essentially ripped from the headlines of the previous century, and Webster makes zero attempt to conceal that fact.

I couldn't shut up about my guy so more under a cut!

The White Devil is based on the actual murder of Vittoria Accoramboni in the late sixteenth century and the characters in the play are generally given the same or similar names as the real life people in the story as known at the time, so there's no attempt to conceal the play's origins (the anti-heroine/villain???[debatable] is named Vittoria Corombona in the play, for instance).

The original production of The White Devil largely failed, which Webster blamed mainly on bad weather and an audience who just didn't get his ~vision and what he was trying to do. It would not be unsurprising for a contemporary audience to struggle with it given that it's a complicated play in which, among other things, Vittoria is put on trial and rhetorically shreds the underlying misogyny of the entire legal process.

The Duchess of Malfi, generally considered a still greater achievement, is based directly on the murder of Giovanna d'Aragona, Duchess of Amalfi by her brothers (it was presumed, likely correctly). Lope de Vega also wrote a play about this tragedy not long before Webster did, though the plays are very different and it's unlikely that Webster would have had the time or linguistic knowledge necessary to read Lope's version. Probably part of the reason for the differences between Lope's and Webster's takes is that Lope had to be careful about the reception by the Catholic Church given that one of the murderers was a cardinal, while obviously an English Protestant like Webster could say whatever he wanted about eeeeevil cardinals.

Webster takes a lot of artistic license, a normal approach at the time to adapting previously-established narratives, but the source material is very recognizable. One of the commendatory verses at the beginning of the play (blurbs in poetic form from other playwrights) is like "I'm sure the real duchess was cool but she couldn't be as cool as Webster's heroine, wow <3". (One of the other commendations is by another fave of mine, John Ford.)

Bosola, the historically mysterious minion of the Duchess's murderous brothers (=Bozolo in the historical narrative) gets an elaborate quasi-redemption arc in the play. And the play is extremely critical of various characters' obsession with and attempts to control the Duchess's sexual behavior (a fixation that is often extremely normalized in early modern British drama, but which comes off really badly here).

Ultimately this obsessiveness leads to her brothers, the Cardinal (=the historical Cardinal Luigi d'Aragona) and Ferdinand (=Carlo d'Aragona) orchestrating her torment and murder in which she emerges with her sanity and integrity intact and dies with dignity. Meanwhile, the Cardinal is exposed as a remorseless villain (he proceeds to murder his mistress with a Bible) and Ferdinand's already-shaky sanity snaps under the realization of what he's done.

Webster's Duchess is often considered the first real female tragic hero in British drama—the tragic is especially significant because tragedy was typically considered a higher art form than comedy and the truly great female characters from that era of drama are often restricted to comedies or secondary roles in tragedy (a marked trend in Shakespeare, for instance). The Duchess in the play is virtuous, strong-willed, witty, and fairly unabashedly sexual in the context of the time, a concept that several hundred years of critics have struggled with. (My favorite OTT complaint is from Martin Sampson, an early 20th century critic who lamented the conspicuous absence of a "strong active man, following righteous things" in Webster's work, to which I say l m a o.)

Anyway, among scholars of early modern British drama, Webster is often considered second only to Shakespeare as a tragedian, on the basis of those two plays. And the modern obsession w/ originality and novelty makes this kind of fascinating, given that his "original" work (in our sense—again, the original vs fanfic dichotomy was not a thing in that cultural context) is sort of meh but his work with pre-existing sources turns them into these staggering dramatic achievements.

Princess Alice with her sister Victoria, Crown Princess of Prussia, Berlin, 1865.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, January 29, 1865 | The journey went off very well, and we are so happy to be here. Vicky and Fritz are kindness itself, and Vicky so dear, so loving! I feel it does me good, that there is a reflection of Papa's great mind in her. He loved her so much, and was so proud of her.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, February 4, 1865 | I have not been sight-seeing anywhere, as it is too cold for that. We drive in a shut carriage, and then walk in the Thiergarten. We spend the whole day together, which is a great enjoyment to me, and of an evening we go out together. It is pleasant to have a sister to go out with, and all the people are so kind and civil to us.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, February 14, 1965 | We leave next Saturday. I shall be so sorry to leave dear Vicky, for she is often so much alone. Fritz is really so excellent, it is a pleasure to look at his dear good face; and he is worked so hard - no health can stand it in the long run.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, 17 February 1865 | This will be my last letter from here, and I only regret leaving here on account of parting with dear Vicky and Fritz, whom we see so rarely, and usually but for a short time. I have spent such pleasant hours with dear Vicky: that is what I shall look back to with so much pleasure and satisfaction.

#princess alice #empress victoria #victoria princess royal #grand duchess of hesse #kaiser frederick iii #prince alfred #louis iv #hesse #prussia #*it is a pleasure to look at his dear good face*#same alice same #sigh #and when she says *no health can stand it in the long run*#i choked #the foreshadowing :'(
