captain K.P hob and delloso de la rue as lamia and the soldier by john william waterhouse.
if hob has dreamt of rue, I think the dreams may look something like this; haunted by peonies. another beautiful painting by waterhouse this time that I felt the need to fit these two into. I cannot wait for episode 6.
Some A Court of Fey and Flowers fanart featuring Hob and Rue inspired by Alphonse Mucha’s “Flirt” piece.
Putting this together was so much fun and presented a lot of unique challenges. You can check out some of the process here and follow for future art streams!
Translation: Sometimes, you need a friend to talk to when you're at work, especially about some recent tender feelings that were neither expected nor prepared for. It has been a bad time, and everyone who says it will get better is lying. I cannot sleep. It has taken me forty-five minutes to write the past four sentences.
Captain Hob going from "I am nothing more than a blunt instrument to follow orders and my own loneliness and desire to love and be loved are just obstacles to upholding my honor" to "I renounce the goblin court in its entirety and forswear all oaths of loyalty to king and kin - you will never know a lonely day again" because of Rue. Prince Andhera going from "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I'm a fraud, I'm so terrified" to "I have pledged fealty to you - for the rest of our existence, every time you are scared, I will reassure you" because of BINX. I am unwell. I am crying and sobbing and throwing up.
WOWWW....that Rue x Hob scene during the masquerade ball got me major effed up. I had to pause and gasp after every word Brennan spoke, holy shit. I just haaad to redraw it and I only hope I captured even just a fraction of the tension (and to be quite frank, eroticism) of the scene.
The Hob/Rue romance is just if those two core parts of Mr. Darcy were courting each other.
Hob is the whole “I’m tall and have anxiety+ someone who I’m trying to protect” Thing
and Rue is “I’m in love with you, I’m going to write dramatically about it, but oh god shit fuck society god wait give me the letter no one can know oh shit was it hold on no wait-”
If the bloom wasn’t happening, the goblin court and the court of wonder would probably be at war because of the broken engagement. That’s what kind of upsets me about Rue breaking it that the marriage was a political thing and a breaking of an alliance like that results in retaliation and for Rue not to take that into account is frustrating. Cuz the broken engagement would have lead to the deaths and traumatization of the lower class for the sake of the love of the upper class.
The world of international politics, which in this case is the court system, does not take into account morals and reason only power in the poker game where everyone is cheating. Just because one party can act out of care and ideals does not mean everyone else will.
In conclusion, I would like to have Hob yell at Rue that he could’ve died in the war that would have resulted from their actions cuz I think it would be angsty :)
captain K.P hob and delloso de la rue as frederic william burton’s the meeting on the turret stairs.
since my klimt rendition of these two is now outdated due to episode four I decided to make another battlemaster of ceremonies work, this time with rue in their beautiful true form!!! the meeting on the turret stairs is so so beautiful and suits them quite well I think. thank you for all the love on my previous the kiss fanart, this community is so lovely <3
I do not have a favorite, I said like a liar #acourtoffeyandflowers (really they are all wonderful but my heart just ached this whole beautiful romance <3)
Hang on. HANG ON. IF WUVVY RIPPED UP THE LETTER, WOULD IT NOT GO TO THE GOBLIN TRASH PILE?????? THE SEAFOAM COURT SEEMED ENAMOURED WITH KP (and Rue for that matter).... And is there no better trickery than the scandal of ANOTHER goblin engagement being broken?
