Day 250

[cosmic-walkers]

I might be the only one who doesn't think that Thomas hates being the son of a blacksmith/lowborn (and let's be real, he was a blacksmith himself.) Fandoms tends to think he hates it, and he's ashamed of it, but I just never saw it.

In the books, he is constantly calling back to his past as a blacksmith, soldier, whatever, lowborn man, and he credits his feats and survival skills he learned back then, to the man he is now. To me, a huge thing about Thomas is that he does lose himself, he does love the power that comes with climbing up in nobility like any man would. But there is never a time when he is ashamed of himself, there is never a time when he wants to hide his past and regrets it. He despises Walter -let's get that straight. He does in fact, hate Walter. But the majority of people tend to conflate that with him hating the fact that he is a lowborn man.

When in reality, he loves that about himself. He loves that he didn't have to have a governess, a sophisticated tutor, or learn at the best schools in order to sit at the king's table. In fact, he can afford all those people now (before he worked with henry tbh), to make sure the boys in his house are well-learned. He loves the fact that he climbed up social ranks without having to have a noble family or bloodline attached to him. He adores the fact that Henry has people like Norfolk and Suffolk and other natural born nobles working for him, but they still, with their god given right and power, cannot do half the stuff a lowborn man from Putney can do.

Even in the first wolf hall book, Henry and Wriothesely DO find noble Cromwells and attempts to push Thomas to claim them, and to look into the matter and he says no. Because he doesn't want to be noble by birth, he doesn't want to present as anything else than a lowborn man who rose to the top with his own merit.

There seems to be this idea in fandom that he is ashamed or embarrassed of being lowborn, but I never thought that. Like, he makes constant call backs to it in the books, and always credits his past, being a black smith, and being low born to survival.

Of course, he hates when people look down on him. That makes him upset, especially because he knows he is better than the nobles who are usually speaking down on him. But like, to be angry is natural. Insecurity when people speak down on you, is natural.

But, he does not hate his past. He never aspired to be noble by birth, he never wanted to hide who he was or his past. He began as a lowborn man, and is prideful in the fact that as a lowborn man, he could do so much more than the natural born nobles/royals.

now if you do wanna see people in wolf hall who hate the fact that they are low born or tied to low born people, thomas more and stephen gardiner are standing right there. thomas more, who is extremely self cautious about the fact that he and thomas knew each other from lambeth because he loathes the idea that a lowborn child could one day be his peer. and it has to make him acknowledge the fact that not to far off in his own lineage, he also has lowborn blood in his veins, as either his father or grandfather was a baker, and mistake, and t. more could've also been a baker. and for thomas more, someone so devout to the religious order, and nobility being ordained by god, can you imagine the fuckery that goes on in his mind? he knows that he is noble, but by his religion, should he even be here? was his life falling to shambles a part of divine punishment? perhaps, this is his thought process.

And then there is Stephen, who is not just a bastard but a bastard whom no one knows where he comes from. The theory that he is a tudor is very very, slippery at best, because there is no historical evidence to document that, and even if he was he was utterly abandoned. Historically, Stephen did not come from a family of note, and only got to where he was because of his own merit and skills, and proved himself to both Henry and Wolsey over and over again. The reason that Stephen *is* nobility now, is because he is a Bishop. That is quite literally the only reason, and he had to prove himself. Combining this with whomever we have in the books, it is very very evident that Stephen, hates the fact that he wasn't natural born nobility. He hates the fact he was a bastard, lowborn, and that he probably doesn't even know where he comes from.

So this idea that Thomas Cromwell hates being lowborn, makes no sense to me, and it doesn't hold up canonically. Especially, when we actually see characters in the show how absolutely despite the fact that they are lowborn, or related to people who *are* low born.

Fuck it, I need to stop drawing my favourite characters as if they were eyefucking the viewer.

FIRST ARNO.

NOW JACOB.

I NEED TO STOP DOING THIS TO MYSELF.

I CANNOT FOCUS PROPERLY.

Like.

We know you are one hell of a sensual gremlin, Jacob.

No freaking need to make it a point WHILE I AM DRAWING YOU.

my father's been home more often than not lately (he travels for work a lot) and I'm coping terribly about it. apart from the whole "my body is terrified of him to the point where I start shaking when he's in the same room" he's just always been truly heinous to me about my sensory issues. he won't ever know I'm autistic so I could give him grace about it if he didn't purposefully torture me with noise for pretty much my entire life. but even that would be fine if it didn't mean that now that he's here, he basically set the trend of "let's be as noisy as possible" again. after months of me begging and begging my mother and brother to please be a bit quieter and not let doors slam shut, now everyone is being maximum noise again AND I'm trembling because he came home while I was having dinner and caught me in the kitchen before I could leave. I didn't even talk to him! and yet, I literally couldn't hold my fork from how much my hands were shaking. I'm so overstimulated and stressed and I've had no reprieve. and the worst part is he walks around like it's nothing, meanwhile I feel like I'm in a waking nightmare

hi! (Ik requests are closed but i just wanted to ask!!!)

I don’t know if this is like a reaaalllly weird question or not so im really sorry in advance! but, you write piss so it doesn’t really stray too far from it—? but would you ever consider writing either a character pissing themselves or even reader pissing themselves??

I’m really really sorry if this is weird to ask!!! I’m just really curious- you can ignore this question if you don’t feel comfortable answering!!

oh hi love, its all okay don't worry! and yes!!

amazing question! i just tend to write about piss that way because i find it more fun, but a good omo is also very great! <3 ( and hot

and don't worry about asking whatever you want, there are no judgments here!

Screaming about Unholy Ascension because I feel like it :)

And I do need to update the info for the characters,,,,,,

AHEM (cw for mention of cults, violence, and non-consensual experimentation (I’d call it human experimentation, but none of the UnAsc MCs are human))

Character names stay the same, but their backstories and places in the story do in fact change!

Jeiviin — Back to being a 16-year-old emo weirdo, though a lot less murderous than they were in beta stages. They still end up getting experimented on by a cult, and they still aren’t transformed into some crazy-ass immortal shapeshifting freak of nature, they just uh. Get some funky New Magic. Idk what magic yet, but it probably has something to do with ghosts and spirits and stuff.

Avaki — Still 17. She’s scene now, good for her! She still doesn’t get experimented on, and goes looking for her dumbass little sibling after they get kidnapped, but doesn’t find them until they escape the experimentation facility they were stuck at. By then, they’ve completely changed, and she is kinda scared of them. Uh. Idk what else to say about her.

Sivea — ALSO an experiment still! She gets to be tradgoth, as a treat. Also she’s trans now. Anyway, she gets new magic like Jeiviin does, but not the Death And Ghosts kind. Probably more centred around blood stuff. She’s also a sweetheart that is very much capable of killing you. And she will, if deemed necessary.

Astrallon — Sweet angel, literally. Back to being an experiment (skill issue). Their reason for entering the UnAsc universe is still mostly the same — looking for their deadbeat mom — but they also just wanted to see what life was like outside of the Concept Universe. Anyway, the experiments performed on him are very different from the Dragons’ treatments. For Ast, the experiments were more of a research type thing; I mean, they’re literally an Angel, of course the fuckwits that captured them would wanna know more about their biology. That research is eventually used by the scientist-cultists to create medical procedures to turn mortal creatures into Other Shit, and those medical procedures were used on experiments like Jeiviin and Sivea.

Now that the OGs’ information remakes are out of the way, it’s time to introduce a new concept OC I made for UnAsc!

Its name is Pheromone, and it’s a being of the Concept Universe like Ast is. It already had a fuckton of weird-ass magic from the beginning, but as they were also an experiment, that magic was made a LOT crazier. It can do illusions, mind control, limited possession, soul-stealing (which is a whole other can of worms for a completely different post), and some limited shapeshifting as well. The experiments done on it accidentally made it completely immortal, which was very much not the cultists’ intention — they just wanted to make it more powerful — and it eventually broke out of its containment and started Killing Shit.

Also, it’s Astrallon’s love interest. It’s been routinely hitting on him for the last century, and he is completely oblivious to the fact that it likes him.

By far, Pheromone is the most edgy OC I’ve created since the experiment trio’s initial conception.

I’ve decided to be unapologetically cringe about my originals now, so this is gonna be a story full of sluts and gore. It’s my original work, and I get to do whatever the fuck I want with it.

…….I think I need to rebrand this blog.
