Guidance.
Ughhhhh art block is killing me. It took me WEEKS to finish this one, 16 hours in total. Not the one I worked on for the longest hours but there are so many times I was just basically gawking at my canva and went Ok, I can’t draw shit and then turned procreate off. I’ve never been into situations like this before and it is, really, PAINFUL. And in the end I still don’t find me feel content with the result :( nevertheless it’s not good enough but I hope people who see this would like it tho!!
And here are some rants from a history geek:
Though it might not be very visible, but the color palette of this piece is actually a lowkey tribute to the Alfred jewel :)
Tumblr media
This is a commission from Alfred to a goldsmith - we can see that through the texts on the side which wrote “AELFRED MEC HEHT GEWYRCAN (Alfred ordered me to be made)” Alfred, as a man who loved wisdom, ordered to translate many books from latin into old english, and those manuscripts were distributed throughout Wessex and accompanied by pointers, and archeologists suggest this is probably one of them.
-
Below is a short piece I wrote but I don’t feel I am capable of turning it into a fic that has full plots so I just decided to put it here. Enjoy :)

Mon 26th June
We had the loveliest little weekend away! We went an hour up the coast and camped Saturday night. Spent most of that night at the beach, in a BIKINI, SWIMMING IN THE NORTH SEA! I have never been able to do that before. It was like being abroad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Walked 20 something miles on Sunday, just following the coast south along the beaches most of the way, through all the little seaside towns we used to visit as kids! Had ice cream at the last one, then turned round and walked back to our campsite. Got caught in some heavy downpours (weather forecast said light showers!) so we ended up wimping out and coming home Sunday night rather than spending another night in the tent with wet, soggy, stinky stuff. I like camping, but once my shoes and rucksack are soaked through I am not happy 🤣 we had pizza in the car at the end of our walk while it was raining torrentially and hopped out to pack the tent up as soon as it stopped and came home lol. Glad we did though bc we got up this morning feeling refreshed and went back to visit Bamburgh Castle which we had passed on our walk. Had dinner at a pub in Bamburgh and came home. A whirlwind of a weekend but a weekend very well spent!

Hi! If it's not difficult for you can do yandere Aethelstan headcanons from the series "The last kingdom" thanks in advance!
note: he's my little pookie 💔
warnings: yandere content, gn reader, possessive behavior, protective stan,
Tumblr media
♡ He's really rather quiet. Aethelstan is someone who doesn't exactly have time for romance, so once he does finally fancy someone he sort of just admires from afar. He's quiet because he has other things to do, but that doesn't mean he's content to let his darling roam to other men or women.
♤ Aethelstan is a rather jealous lover, though. I do think that he'd end up in a secret relationship with his darling, so he can't really do anything about them being married off or anything like that. He'd definitely ask Uhtred to put a stop to any marriage proposals, though.
♡ He loves very passionately, and once he finds his darling, he knows that he never wants to be separated from them.
♤ Once he comes into power, Aethelstan would keep his darling by his side as an advisor. He's under a huge amount of stress, and just seeing them gives him peace. Speaking on how possessive he is, Aethelstan would lose his shit if anyone ever suggested that he not take advice from his darling. He loves them too much, and the thought of them being a traitor or incompetent is absolutely impossible to him.
♡ If he and his darling were to end up in a romantic relationship, Aethelstan's possessive and jealous behavior would increase tenfold. He's paranoid that someone will take his lover from him, and so it's really the best option to keep them secure in his bedroom.
♤ That's not to say he's forcing them to stay there... but it's pretty hard to say no to the king.
Tumblr media
he will forever be my daeron targaryen fancast just look at his lil face
side note, i still have no idea how to spell his name, lol

well looks like your milky way headcanon is right XDDD
OK LITERALLY I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST ABOUT THAT I KNEW IT I FXCKING KNEW IT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THIS HAPPENS TO STRAWBERRY CREPE BUT NOT MILKY WAY SO IF THEY DON'T ALLOW KIDS ONTO THE SHOW (which makes sense because like would you let your middle schooler compete on Total Drama-) BUT MILKY WAY IS ALLOWED THEN THAT MEANS SHE WAS HONEST ABOUT HER AGE AND THAT SHE IS AN ADULT
unless she gets like caught for this too or there's some kind of joke about this or whatever that says otherwise I think we can say here that I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG-
...ok for random people who were reading through the tag: look I didn't think they would let a little kid be a professional train conductor alright I just thought she was some comically short adult, that's what I thought of her ever since she was introduced and I was. Shocked learning that that wasn't how other people see her. So I never really go into her tag 'Cus I'm scared I'll find untagged ship art of her with kid characters 'Cus this fandom has a problem with untagged ship art but like I'm guessing if people are actually watching this series then that's gonna hopefully gonna not be an issue after this-

this little last kingdom blog has reached the 1,000 followers milestone!
Tumblr media
a massive thank you to everyone who has liked, reblogged, commented, it has been such a joy to create these gifs and share them. ♡
also to those who have sent in lovely asks discussing the show - its always nice to be able to discuss things with people who hold different opinions/have different favourite characters, but can still be respectful and have conversations discussing aspects of the show without coming across as rude, superior, or forcing their opinion onto others, etc. i’ve had some great discussions that have changed the way i’ve looked at things, made me remember things i forgot, etc. so a big shout out to those people who are willing to keep an open mind when it comes to difference of opinions/view points/favourite characters!
it’s been a wild ride from the day i discovered the last kingdom scrolling through netflix, to making this blog, to being able to celebrate season 5 and seven kings with the fandom. and even though, sadly, last kingdom’s story is over (still have my fingers crossed for a sigtryggr or finan spin-off, ahaha), it’s still great to see content being made.

Dear all... where to start?!
This last weeks has been so crazy to me! I mean, I was about to change from my guild, last week, but as we are still on an intermediate planning (a time before the real planning and new sprints start), I am still stuck on some tasks I already delivered, and that got a problem on production.
One of them is solved, but the other will be pretty hard to solve (crying), mainly because it was made in an old application that has at least other 5 groups working on it.
My personal life is good, at least with my husband, sisters and parents... but my father-in-law is very sick, it is so severe that we are getting some preparations for... you guys know... I am just praying for him to do not to suffer too much. Alzheimer is an awful disease, and he also has lots of comorbidities. That's so sad, I am doing my best to provide my partner all the love, support, and strength I am capable of.
Studying... I was doing my best about studying, but among working day and at night for about 4 days, my daily habits, including study were compromised, and I wasn't able to do everything and be fine.
So I managed to keep studying French with Duolingo, was able to start my Angular course (yay) in a slow pace, but still doing my best, but IELTS was left behind ... at least I am reading a book in English.
About this book, I finally bought a KINDLE! I am so happy! I already got some books I wanted such as: "Dead until dark" from Charlaine Harris, "The Dark Forest" and "The End of Death", by Cixin Liu and other I will inform you as soon as possible.
I will tell you guys more about my readings, but for now, I just would like to tell you this.
Furthermore, I hope you all are safe and good! Please, love and respect yourself. As a great Brazilian singer called Emicida said? "You are the only one standing for your dreams in this whole existence".
Have a great week you all <3

on 'aldhelm's wardrobe' & tlk costumes
[this post contains my opinion, and it might not align with yours. it is fine as long as we are respectful. keep that in mind, thank you]
[around 1.5k words]
as one can see, i’ve been posting a lot [and more to come lol] about Aldhelm’s wardrobe lately, and i want to clarify something: i post mainly because i enjoy the character, and i’m utterly stunned by Aldhelm having such a chokehold on me [yes, at some point you might say that i was simply gifing him, and you will be correct]. but i have to say: those posts are not an appreciation for the well-done costumes, because...well, i was genuinely disappointed by how poorly they were made. but why is it important? [NB: i'm not an expert; it was just details that i noted from the perspective of a person who likes this stuff].
part I: let’s focus on Aldhelm first [i promise, it’s about costume design and its influence on a character’s development!]
if you go through my tags for those posts, you can see that sometimes i leave notes of what i have noticed so far. the latest set was for one of the first fits that we encountered with Aldhelm. many didn’t like his blue ragged cloak, and so do i, because i don’t find it appealing or flattering.
but it makes sense: Aldhelm is still relatively young, probably isn’t that wealthy as later in the series, and he is dressed for the road and any occasions [robbery, scuffle, etc.] that might occur. so, i find this cloak rather suitable for a young man who is still making his way in a career as a warrior and advisor. that way, you can clearly see that his position within the hierarchy is lower, especially when he is side by side with Aethelred. later in the series [around s3], we’ll see him wearing another bluish cloak made from a sturdier fabric with a rolled edge [no doubt, a boy got a promotion]. even his court mercian outfit [that i haven’t gifed it yet] looks considerably less prominent than Aethelred’s, and that’s the point [though why Aldhelm’s is brighter i would never get]. it is a simple tunic with and a god-knows-what sleeveless garment [write me if you know what the hell it is] without any embroidery. again, later, the outfit changes, and Aldhelm is serving the look with that collar embroidered with golden leaves. the outfit underlines his status and signals to the viewers that the character has undergone some changes. above that, we are getting small details that reveal the character [examples: the length of his mail in comparison to Aethelred's, the short knife in addition to his sword, which is a common thing but again cannot be seen on Aethelred, and even if he has one, it’s unlikely to be used as anything but adornment].
thus, you can see my point: a costume is important.
but it’s not only about what it consists of but also how it was executed. spoiler—badly.
most of Aldhelm’s silhouettes are simply ill-suited for him, and he is painful to look at in this respect. his tunics are more than always way too short for him because of how tall and lanky this man is, and the brooch attached so high and in the middle creates a puffy look but makes him seem fettered and tighter in the shoulders, as if the garment is too small for him. the 2nd outfit [in order of appearance in the text] is clearly made out of cotton [which is not available at the set time period] and has the weirdest texture that again won’t be easily achievable. his chainmail? at a closer look, you can see how poorly, almost haphazardly, rings are connected to each other; moreover, it doesn’t even look like a proper sturdy iron or steel. the embroidery on his collar and the hems on the shoulders are made by machine [and that’s okay! not everything has to be made by hand in order to preserve accuracy, but leave small details for viewers to believe it was actually made by hand! a few sticking threads? amazing. uneven pattern on the embroidery? wonderful]. and where is his pouch? more complicated buckles, anyone? finally, the thing I hate the most: s5 and Aldhelm becoming yet another leather man. *cries in mercian*
if we follow the tendency of elaborating the outfit within the character’s development, then we would want to see in s5 that Aldhelm’s wardrobe to be more well-put, restrained, but bold in colours and high-status style that would be perfectly fitted for his age and position [think somewhat of lord Odda s1]. fitted my ass, we didn’t even get an updated version of the mercian look. ideally something like a long blue linen tunic with golden threads along the edge and a yellow wool wrap-over coat with decorated cuffs [the guy is loaded, he can afford it, come on]. but nope, just another leather waistcoat. yeah, yeah, there was that dirty-red-coloured cloak, but I won’t buy it, underneath it was something I cannot even come up with a name for.
phew, we get to the others. my leather-pretty boys!
part II: Let’s talk colours and materials.
why is this show so bloody dark? i am not only complaining as a gifmaker, but as a viewer: yes, i want to be able to see what is happening on the screen! i'm more than sure they use some sort of god-forbidden filter, and everything looks so dreary and bleak cause there is no sunshine in Wessex, you know.
the same goes for clothes’ colours. why is every item either black, or gray, or any other dirty-washed colour? people in the 9th century had natural dyes, garments had colours, especially if we are talking about someone wealthy. we have a lot of manuscripts and pictures that show it! bright yellow, deep blue, bold red, olive, and many others were available. why are even members of the royal family dressed mostly in gray? yes, we’ve seen Alfred rocking some red, but still, it was awfully plain.
speaking about rock, have you, guys, ever thought why heavy metal groups are popular in the North? It cause all Danes were wearing leather while pillaging and plundering Saxon villages. duh.
so, yeah, even if we want them to look super broody and cool, leather was not very common as an everyday material to wear. nor was it suitable for a battle as a whole garment. or are you going to tell me that it is so convenient to sweat the shit out of yourself in summer and freeze to hell in winter while wearing your trendy sleeveless vest [yes, i am looking at you, Sihtric]. don’t you want to protect your arms at all? not even a bit? i have a nice linen or wool shirt that you can wear underneath. no? okay. i'm more than sure that one can achieve a great look using the correct materials. but what do i know? [let’s ask king Constantine of Scots who wears this tartan picnic blanket that looks like a rug from Ikea. or Brida, her jacket from Zara, those awfully sewn squares of fur from s1].
and my, oh my, how ‘historical’ dramas are terrified of headgear. especially the female ones. i haven’t seen a veil, a headscarf, or anything else that would have been appropriate for the time, specifically for married women. other adornments or jewels? have you seen Aethelflaed’s crown? it’s supposed to be golden and decorated with precious stones, but it looks like an easily flexible piece of tin. and I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who saw that Aelfwynn was wearing temple rings instead of the actual earrings [even though we have preserved examples of real earrings that were common in the period].
so, what do we have? awfully combed Vikings in leather with modern hairdos, inappropriate shapes and materials, and poorly made garments. is it really that important?
instead of a conclusion:
personally, i think yes. i'm a historical fashion enthusiast, and i do love great costumes that represent time periods correctly. to my mind, it is significant because most people would never search for real studies on the subject and would just believe things they saw on screen. and that’s the problem that will cause a lot of stereotypes and wrong perceptions of history and the people in it.
when we create something that is history-based [i am not talking about fantasy; play however you like with clothes there, i will only support] we have to remember that those were real people as well. they differed by status, but they still wanted to look good, ate well, didn’t like to get wet, quarrelled with their siblings while they were teenagers, and played with their dogs. they wanted to be warm, so they wore wool; they wanted to feel fresh while working in the field, so they used linen. they wanted to appeal to their potential partners, so they adorned themselves with embroidery, jewels, headpieces, and small accessories. they were humans that shouldn’t be looked upon as inferiors, but those [as they portrayed them to be] small details that were overlooked created truly Dark Ages.
so, yeah, costume design is important; characters speak through it.
thank you, if you've read this post.
[and stay tuned for more gifs of Aldhelm’s wardrobe].
