Thought I’d do a little art throwback with my own historically accurate (well mostly) takes on Disney princesses and heroines, which I did from 2021 to 2022! Included in this series are:

Snow White - early 16th century Germany (then part of the Holy Roman Empire)

Cinderella - late 1860s-early 1870s France

Aurora - mid 15th century France

Eilonwy - 8th-10th century (present day) Wales

Ariel - 1830s Mediterranean Europe (maybe Italy)

Belle - 1760s-1770s France

Jasmine - 16th century Arabian Peninsula during the Ottoman Empire

Pocahontas - 1607 Virginia, (present day) United States of America

Esmeralda - 1480s France (Romani garb)

Megara - Classical period of Ancient Greece (c. 5th-4th centuries BCE)

Mulan - Wei Dynasty China (386-535 AD)

Jane - 1900s England

Tiana - late 1920s New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Rapunzel - 1790s-1800s Germany

Merida - 10th-11th century (present day) Scotland

Elsa - late 1830s-early 1840s Norway

Anna - same period as Elsa (duh)

Moana - ancient Polynesian Islands (c. 1st century BCE)

I had so much fun drawing these, as well as doing the research for each one! I actually drew most of the outfits each one wears (in their first movies) but they're waaaaay down further in my blog.

I'm planning to do a digital redo of these someday, as well as do my own historical spins on other characters I haven't done yet.

Which one is your favorite?

Almost all of the "criticism" (i.e., hatred, bashing) thrown at Disney Princesses comes directly from a fundamental misunderstanding, misinterpretation and misreading of the core message of their stories and their respective characters and journeys.

#disney princesses #disney #meta #disney meta #txt #thankfully dp hate isn't as common now thanks to the multiple defense essays that have been done about them there are still people who #spread nonsensical exaggerated and false narratives about them #don't even get me started on the disney princes #if the disney princesses are unfairly lambasted the disney princes are basically burned alive just because they are the love interest #and everything that is said about them is based primarily on the first two princes and even a bit of phillip #but ever since eric they've been pretty damn unique in their own way (except for john because i don't like him but i don't even think he #should count anyways considering the historical basis of his character. anyways that's another topic for another)#i feel like this specially applies to the first 6 who get the most hatred #specially in regards to cinderella and ariel who are undoubtedly the most misunderstood of all #and they also happen to be two of the most popular princesses #if you think all they have ever thought little girls is to be pretty and wait for somebody to “win” them as their trophy wife you are #pretty damn stupid. how the hell do y'all reach these types of conclusions?#the disney princess has always been defined for her HEART the physical beauty just ACCENTUATES their beautiful soul #they have different ways to show it some are tougher and some are softer but at the core they are all good people #if you don't get that about them ofc you are gonna f*cking hate them with every fiber of your very being #this also has to do with the bastardization of the princess archetype being painted as a spoiled brat as opposed to a kind-hearted selfless #and brave individual #also it's kind of funny that they complain about that when they constantly tell women that all they have to do is be pretty and don't have #to do a damn thing because their existance alone is enough and they don't have to do sh*t in the relationship #SO WHICH ONE F*CKING IS IT????????????? JESUS CHRIST #anyway. rant over

We are in the twilight years of a long love affair, and it has recently occurred to me that a day will come when one of us buries the other. But, I remind myself, that is a happy ending to a story like ours. It is the only acceptable outcome to a long and happy marriage, and I am determined not to fear that day, whenever it arrives. I am equally determined to soak up all the days in between. -Ariel Lawhon, The Frozen River

Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane (I take no credit for any photos)

She loved Patroklos, she loved Meryapi, and it had nothing to do with desire, only joy—to see them was joy; to breathe with them was joy; to ride with Patroklos on a cattle raid was joy; scanning the pines for ambush was joy; holding the shield to protect them from Anyasha’s arrows was joy. If she failed, they would die together, and that too was joy.

#photo edit!#i would love to see fanart drawing on the historical inspirations especially #but as i cannot draw take this little pinterest collage #wrath goddess sing #maya deane #mine #my edits #litedit #fantasyedit #queerbookedit #the faceclaim for achilles in the middle is trans model ariel nicholson #(so hard to find photos of her where she isn't wearing super modern clothing haha)#and then the faceclaim for meryapi is kylie bunbury in the tut miniseries #which i have never seen lol #also…dolphins…#books #lulu speaks #lulu reads #lulu reads wrath goddess sing

Heads Up, Seven Up

I was tagged quite a while ago by @space-cadead (ty!). I wrote a little something yesterday and thought I'd share it.

It was the creature who moved Valeria's extended palms to the wounded face of her kneeling husband. It pressed a thumb on the half-formed bruise of his jaw, ripping a pained wince through his stubborn clenched teeth.

Burrowed deep inside the confines of her own flesh, Valeria witnessed how each wound slowly matured under the touch of the wrinkled hands that no longer obeyed her, its bruise chaning colour and healing at an impossibly rapid pace.

With a pang of muted horror she felt her own lips move; shaped by a hallowed voice, her mouth spoke in a willfully forgotten mother tongue filled of glacial contempt.

"You are insignificant," Valeria understood, against all odds. "Do you not see the vast gulf between your limited self, and the extraordinary creature who married you? Can't you see each and every way in which she surpasses you? No," it added, "you can. You see it. It makes you aware of just how small you truly are. That knowledge has infected you, and all you want is to make her suffer for it. Make her as sick as you are. Make her pay."

Each word plucked from deep inside her throat was pronounced with growing rage. Valeria could feel the ground shake through the bare soles of her feet. The angel had finished healing her stranged husband, and now it loomed over his awed form with a deceptively calm exterior that did not match the tumult within.

"We won't let you do that to us," they proclamed, with the force of divine revelation.

The Lakeland Bank Railway

Many years ago on the Mainland, there laid a small railway with small engines. The railway was founded by the Raven family, local landowners and shipping magnates, who had taken a keen interest in the creation of their own estate railway after visiting the lines of Sir Arthur Heywood.

Opened in the early 1900s, this railway was first known as the Raven Hall Railway, and existed only to serve the Family Estate and connect it to a local town. It was serviced by a selection of small tank engines, named after the family’s children: Lila, Ulla, Ariel, & Brady.

The Engines of the Raven Hall Railway.

Lila (She/Her), an 0-6-0 Tank Engine, was the engine most plagued by difficulties over the Raven Hall Railway’s brief history. She had trouble steaming, trouble seeing, and trouble staying on the track. However, Sir Morton remained adamant he could cure her ails, and often would take her on night runs when the line wasn’t as busy.

Ulla (They/Them), an 0-6-0 Tank Engine, was Lila’s twin, and suffered many the same problems as her. Unfortunately, they weren’t as doted upon as their sibling, and often felt overshadowed by her. But they were determined to prove themself, even if they just wanted to be thought of as a part of the family.

Ariel (She/Her), an 0-8-0 Tank Engine, was the biggest and strongest engine of the Raven Hall Railway, though was difficult to handle due to her size. All the same, in spite of this she was the engine most respected by outsiders, even though others felt she was more burdensome than anything else.

Bradley (He/Him), an 0-4-0 Tank Engine, was the “baby” of the line. Despite this, he had a will to power unlike any of the other engines, and would do his best to tackle any train no matter how long, even if it was better suited for the other engines. He was a particular favorite among the family’s children.

These four would continue in service for some time, but after the end of the Great War, a new fortune would strike the line. Metals such as Copper and Iron Ore were discovered on the Raven Estate alongside good stone, and Sir Morton Raven sought to capitalize on this. With his son Brady assisting him, he began his expansion proper as the Lakeland Bank Railway, servicing the new quarries in the area.

With this, more engines would be needed, and, as Heywood had passed away, he sought assistance from Bassett-Lowke and Henry Greenly, who graciously supplied him with the new engines he desired as well as rolling stock. Among the Bassett-Lowke engines arrived two familiar engines named Rex and Mike.

Glenda (She/Her), a Bassett-Lowke Class 30, was the railway’s new flagship engine. She headed the line’s limited passenger services, and acted as quite the celebrity in the local area. Unfortunately, her position would later be usurped by another engine, which did plenty of damage to her ego.

Magnus (They/Them), a Bassett-Lowke Class 60, overtook Ariel as the line’s goods engine, and developed quite the rivalry with her -- one that threatened to destroy them both in time. They were stoic and believed in adhering to authority, but had a great respect for their predecessors. The same couldn’t be said for their brother, unfortunately.

For a time, the line was considerably profitable, but tragedy struck in the late 1920s when Ariel and Magnus collided with one another in a wreck that nearly destroyed both goods engines. Despite his aging condition, Sir Morton got to work with his son to undo the damage that had been done, and as Ariel was in the better condition, she was rebuilt into an 0-8-2 tender engine under a new name. Magnus would not be so fortunate.

Things changed drastically for the line afterwards, as not long after, Sir Morton Raven passed away. His son Bradley inherited his Baronetcy, but had to sort affairs regarding the family’s shipping company, leaving the line to the now widowed Lady Douglas Raven.

Lady Raven worked to ensure the line’s stability during the Great Depression, though at times this meant some engines had to part ways with the line. Bradley was sold off first, being unable to manage the workload. Lila and Ulla were withdrawn and scrapped during the 1930s, with Glenda sold to another railway shortly after. Come the Second World War, only Three Small Engines were left: Rex, Mike, & Bert.

The War went by fairly uneventful, as the engines were mothballed in the ghastly Raven Estate. But the return following proved very difficult. Much of the equipment used by the railway hadn’t been invested in since the 1920s, and by the 1950s, the line officially closed. A worn Sir Bradley returned to oversee its closure, and placed what he deemed salvageable in storage on the Raven Estate. And for some years, that was that.

But, in the 1960s, Sir Bradley received a visit from a rather famous Stout Gentleman, seeking engines to run a special project of his in the Arle Valley on the Island of Sodor. Sir Bradley was eager to find a new home for Rex, Mike, Bert and the line’s old rolling stock, but sad to see the last of his father’s dream leave the line.

#ttte #rws #lore post #ttte rex #ttte mike #ttte bert #ttte ocs #i don't see myself doing too much with these characters in a historic sense #i would like to write something about glenda though #since i kinda combined synolda and sans pareil into one engine for the sake of making things easier for me #also in case you didn't pick up on it bert is ariel rebuilt (also trans-masc)#i'm not doing whatever the fuck was river mite (i) for mike though #lakeland bank railway

Along the way, she encounters the greed of others, the…
