Cromwell, coming from the King just prior to the latter's departure to hear mass, asked whether Chapuys would be prepared to visit Anne in her private suite, and perhaps to kiss her hand there. The King, he said, would be particularly pleased if he would do that. The ambassador resisted so full and open a recognition of Anne's regal claims, observing that this would be inappropriate as [matters] stood, for reasons that he would happily explain to the King when they met privately later. He was evidently wary of appearing openly to pay court to Anne in her own chamber as a supplicant, as he would to a queen.

I know Damian's only volunteering at the hospital and not an actual doctor because he is 14 but seeing him in the hospital scrubs this issue and knowing he could perform open heart surgery if he wanted just made me think "Doogie Howser M.D but with Damian". And I've been cherishing that thought ever since

2024 summary of art! Pathfinder, am I right…?

Hopefully next year I can get more than one piece done per month! I’ve finally gotten more comfortable with fullbodies, so perhaps next year will be the year I finally draw more characters in environments!

youtube recently has developed a tendency to show me videos with really low view counts when i search something up, but i'm grateful for this, because how else would i have stumbled upon a video with under 500 views that contains the line "a group of men immediately jumped Czolgosz, piling on top of him like the last cookie in a kindergarten classroom"

Here is a bunch of art that fits well enough into rectangles. Was the theme of 2024 ominous vertical symmetry?

I have received word that the producer of Deltarune has directly noticed my contributions to the wiki, apparently. Many things happen in life

The fake fic game sounds hilarious. I've decided on some word play with the old saying "between a rock and a hard place." So, tell me about the fic, Between a Rook and a Hard Place.

Hehe thank you for asking!!! I love the word play!!

(ask game)

Now as for the fic Between a Rook and a Hard Place, here is the summary:

You're a skilled actor renowned for never having a scandal, but when an anonymous source begins publishing online news about you with very private, scandal-worthy information your personal and professional life are jeopardized. Now with all eyes pinned on you (for all the wrong reasons), you feel suffocated in negative attention. It's during one particular outing (where you intend to drink your sorrows away) that you meet a man who introduces himself as your stalker: Rook Hunt. He offers to find this no-good villain for you, as it truly pains him to see one of his favorite actors experience something so stressful and difficult. In your moment of weakness, do you place your trust and faith in Rook, your self-proclaimed stalker, or hope that this vindictive anonymous has a change of heart and stops? The choice should be obvious, yet you're struggling to make it.

The deeper I fall down this extreme research hole of reading sutras and Buddhist texts, I feel like the lotus sutra would be what Yangchen chants on the regular. Followed by either the medicine Buddha sutra or the Ksitigarbha sutra

Every so often recently I’ve been thinking about how the first time I read The Outsiders was when my grade eight class studied it and I did not recognize the name Paul Newman at all to the point where I genuinely thought he was just one of Ponyboy’s classmates who’s mentioned to make the world feel more lived-in but not actually relevant to the plot and so he never comes up again. And while I really liked the book I never got as into it as I am now and so when I followed @/hotvintagepoll this year and saw him there and actually got into vintage films I never made the connection because I couldn’t remember the opening passage. And then when I reread it more recently this year because of the musical reawakening my affection for it I STILL didn’t make the connection until I was trying to remember the opening passage on my own and thought his name before going “wait no that’s a movie guy. Isn’t it?” and it wasn’t until I actually paid attention to the lyrics of the musical & the context in which Paul Newman is mentioned in not one but two songs and also googled Cool Hand Luke that I finally understood that Ponyboy was actually talking about actor Paul Newman.

hi! i’m so sorry for asking but was it you who wrote this haechan fic :c i don’t remember much but you were together and he was so obsessed with you like Really Obsessed but then you ran away and then you got together with mark a few months later but then one day surprise surprise haechan’s got mark tied up in your own home and he was like baby you thought you could get away from me something like that and mark tells you to run and you’re like no i’m not leaving you and you and mark manage to run but not far away because surprise surprise (again!) haechan catches up and kills mark and you become hopeless and just accepts the fact that you really cannot run away from haechan

i vividly remember reading this just after reading x marks the spot but for some reason i can’t find it anymore and maybe it was yours and you’ve archived it or deleted it or something REAAAAALLY SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU LOL i’ve been looking for it for months it’s driving me a lil insane now tbh

yes that is my fic! forever yours 🥰 funny that you ask considering that i have it queued to go up at midnight lol fhdkgjdhgdhdgsdh come back in like 10 hours and it should most definitely be up!!!!!!
