"Ser Barristan," she called, "I know what quality a king needs most."

"Courage, Your Grace?"

"Cheeks like iron," She teased. "All I do is sit."

Daenerys in "A dance with dragons".

Ever since I saw this quote I knew I had to draw it.

I'm not very happy with this, especially the colors, the colorless sketch seems better to me.

This is a study from John William Godward I did a while ago, I would've given you the title unfortunately I can't find it. The goal was to force myself to color and render it. As you can see I failed, then I gave up on the cloth. I can't manage to find a way to paint in a way that pleases me and tutorials nowadays are so unhelpful.

I made the mistake of clicking on a link to a reddit thread about abigail marston.

the way the men on there talk about her makes me physically feel sick. the names they call her, the way they describe her and john’s relationship, the way they constantly bring up her past in a negative way.

They seem to lack any and all artistic thinking skills. to me, one of the main points of media and art is how you’re supposed to analyze and discover the things they aren’t outright said. You have to dig a little deeper, you have to actually think. The people on that godforsaken website seem to just not have/be able to do that!

abigail was a prostitute. yes, we all know this men of reddit and it’s okay! please shut up about it!!!!

she was also an orphan, even worse for the time, an orphaned girl. she had little to no opportunities in the world she was born into. EVEN JOHN KNOWS THIS. “she’s a woman in a man’s world” and they act personally offended on johns behalf. john was an orphan too, i can promise you he understands how hard it is to survive and he doesn’t look down on her! Not that it even begins to matter if john or anyone else “understands” her reasoning for her choice of survival. It doesn’t. it simply matters that abigail was incredibly strong throughout that time of her life and rest. she survived and did whatever she could to and that is to be appreciated.

These men seem to have this one single idea that “abigail was prostitute so john thought baby not his cause so many men 🤓” SHUT. UP. no actually that was so much more actually john not ready to be a father and being afraid of himself!!!! honestly speaking, the entirety of that situation has very little to do with abigail herself. but no they’ll never understand that because it was written out in black and white and you may have to think a little to get to that conclusion. not to mention, they could never accept it because then john marston wouldn’t be as “alpha” BE QUIET IM BEGGING YOU.

the way they discuss abigail and uncle made my skin crawl. there is nothing else said about that relationship, there is no one specific cannon explanation as to how or why they knew each other. but the men i saw discussing it said such disgusting and vulgar things about how uncle “reallyyy knew abigail”. truly horrifying. There’s so many different ways they could’ve crossed paths. she was a prostitute but that’s not all she was. she was still a woman, a person. i can assure you she had other hobbies and activities that she did, that she enjoyed doing.

not to mention how it seems to be such an odd and disgusting fantasy for them that “everyone in the gang had abigail” i hate to break it to you but no they didn’t! Now this is up for debate for a lot of people and i actually want to make an entire post just dedicated to this. When looking at both instances where that was said, it was purposely said to hurt john and throw him off. not to mention, abigail was never around when it was said. There wasn’t an instance of anyone saying it in camp or even throwing an insult to john about it in rdr2. hmmm i wonder why that is????? Bill said it to make him stumble and dutch said it because he knows john and he knows how to hit him where it hurts. But, i don’t think any of it is true. of course no internet bro is going to actually think into enough to even be curious so!

abigail marston is someone to be admired. someone who persevered as much as any man in that gang but she doesn’t get the same appreciation. she probably had to work just as hard if not harder than some of the men just to stay alive in her youth. Abigail marston is not a nag, she’s not annoying, she’s not “mean” to john. take a step back and look at what she’s responding to and give her the same grace you give arthur and john. “oh well arthur just had a hard time showing emotions because of the way he was raised” “oh john couldn’t deal with everything so he ran away for a little bit it’s okay.” let abigail have that same grace.

so sorry this was not meant to be this long. clearly it has been nagging at me. if you read this love you and love abigail marston!

I am going to single-handedly double the amount of Lucy/Maximus content on AO3 don’t worry everybody just give me a week

[tinyjackalope23]

Me when the majority of the Fallout show fandom does not ship Lucy and Maximus (who are so in love, adorable, princess and prince coded, awkward, and just everything) but Lucy and the Ghoul

[tinyjackalope23]

I love that Maximus is a heroic character, but in a way that's flawed, relatable, and human. I think the scene that sold me was him rushing to save Knight Titus, and immediately stopping once it's clear he's going to scapegoat his ass. Like yes, actually, I think that's what most of us would have done. I sure af would have.

Also I like that on one hand he's grateful to the BoS for rescuing him, but he's not a fanatic. When he and Lucy found Vault 4, I assumed he was going to hate it no matter what for simply not being the BoS. But same as her, he's willing to learn from the world around him, and change his mind. By the end of season 1, he's gone from wanting to be a Knight to wanting Happily Ever After with his sweetie in a vault.

Anyway, I'm blocking anyone who says Maximus is boring. He's not boring, you're just racist.

[tinyjackalope23]

Tuning into some interesting frequencies...

I loveeee spinning the idea of them travelling together and getting that fucked up horse around in my brain :-)

[tinyjackalope23]

Thinking about the little wins today. Thank you fallout on prime for letting Lucy be apologetic and understand why Maximus was lying and still offer to take him to her home, because she understood how bad it is up there and that you cannot trust people as easily as she did once and him telling her this means he truly trusted her!

Thank you fallout on prime for making them canon and have that weird soulmates vibes going on for them and having them be opposites but the same

[tinyjackalope23]

This was so cute

[tinyjackalope23]

I’m going to go insane why are so few people talking about him LOOK AT HIM.

[tinyjackalope23]

Okey-Dokey

[tinyjackalope23]

“imagine caring so much about fiction” imagine being so lame that you scoff at the timeless human practice of falling in love with art and stories

[tinyjackalope23]

Imagine not loving Maximus. Cringe fail king. Never makes the right decisions. Quite literally Lucy’s knight in shining armor. Doesn’t know what sex is. Stole his power armor from an asshole. Cannot use his power armor properly.

His loser boy personality has captivated me

[tinyjackalope23]

just found out a bunch of people on reddit hate maximus for letting titus die meanwhile i was cheering like it was a football game. people say they love neutral karma characters until they get one.
