“your babygirl just killed people” yes but my babygirl is also a man who has given everything to protect the ones he loves. so I think he’s allowed to go a bit insane, as a treat you know.

Milestone Monday

On this day, January 29, 1845, The Raven was published in The Evening Mirror marking the first time the poem was published with the name of the author, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). At the time of publication, Poe was working as a critic for The Evening Mirror in New York and his poem was met with instant praise and popularity, although not much financial success.  

To commemorate the day, we’re sharing The Raven published in 1927 by The Bibliophile Society out of Boston. The Bibliophile Society was founded by Charles E. Hurd in 1901 to study and promote “the arts pertaining to fine bookmaking and illustration” with the intent to publish books of useful literary purpose outside of the element of rareness. The Society’s treasurer and founding member, Henry H. Harper (1871-1953), wrote an extensive introduction and commentary for The Raven bestowing his ideals on the importance of preserving exceptional literature upon its membership readers.  

The book was printed anopisthographically on parchment paper and bound in full calfskin with gold border lines. Title page engravings by Sidney L. Smith and Arthur N. Macdonald greet readers while dry point etchings by Haydon Jones (d.1954) bookend the text. Tissue guards printed with red text mirror each etching. Special Collections copy of The Raven was a gift from our friend Jerry Buff and bears the bookplate of Charles J. Hardy.

slightly cursed rook thought

I remembered that there’s a character (Arthur) in Rune Factory 4 with a similar haircut and color as Rook. Arthur is a traveling prince, and the physical resemblance to Rook led me down a “what if” of Rook secretly being royalty 💀 (To be clear, I don’t think this is canon or that there is a ton of supporting evidence; I’m just being silly by speculating about an alternate scenario!)

cjkBCgqdqjbFjb Boy, would that be awkward for Leona????? Rook being a diplomat between their countries would be another reason for him to get far, far, away from home… only for them to coincidentally meet up again at NRC, IN THE SAME HOMEROOM…

The definitive chart

[rocknroll7575]

Can we get Rusted knight talking to some older characters like Ironwood and Ozpin? Also I feel like there would be something towards Raven

Sure can! Here you go!

XXX

Rusted Knight: *walks on the stage with his broken sword* You were willing to leave so many behind to the slaughter!?

Ironwood: *Unholsetrs guns and aims at RK* Without Atlas, the world is doomed

Rusted Knight: Without it's people, there is no Atlas

XXX

Ironwood: *Loads bullets into gun as he looks to RK* How can I trust you?

Rusted Knight: *Jumps off Juniper and lands on stage* Is a Knight's word not enough?

Ironwood: Words are empty, actions are louder

XXX

Ozpin: *Walks on stage with cane and mug* Is that really you under there, Mr. Arc?

Rusted Knight: *walks on the stage with his broken sword* You mistake me for the man I once was, he is gone

Ozpin: Then it seems I have failed another soul...

XXX

Rusted Knight: *Jumps off Juniper and lands on stage* You lost someone close to you?

Ozpin: *Appears on stage surrounded by a green ball* My daughter's... I lost them

Rusted Knight: Then it seems we are kindred spirits.

XXX

Rusted Knight: *walks on the stage with his broken sword* Another witch? Are you here to torment you as well

Glynda: *Pushing her glasses up* I am here to offer you guidance

Rusted Knight: What Guidance could you offer me?

XXX

Glynda: *Fix's broken floor as she walks on top it* By the Brothers... Mr. Arc?

Rusted Knight: *Jumps off Juniper and lands on stage* Who I once was is gone, I am what remains

Glynda: I have failed to protect my students...

XXX

Raven: *Puts Grimm Mask on* Another walking Fairy Tale

Rusted Knight: *walks on the stage with his broken sword* It seems we both have something in common, Raven Branwen

Raven: Indeed, but who is the better fighter?

XXX

Rusted Knight: *Jumps off Juniper and lands on stage* What brings you here, Coward?

Raven: *Eye's glowing blue with rage* I am no coward!

Rusted Knight: Then what do you call leaving Summer Rose behind?

XXX

Hazel: *Stabs Arms with Dust* You are the Rusted Knight?

Rusted Knight: *walks on the stage with his broken sword* I am, why do you ask?

Hazel: Gretchen thought the world of you...

XXX

Tyrian: *Walks on stage with his tail swaying slowly* The Rusted Knight!? Before my very eyes!?

Rusted Knight: *Jumps off Juniper and lands on stage* Tyrian Callows, You will pay for your crimes

Tyrian: I'm already getting excited!

XXX

Rusted Knight: *walks on the stage with his broken sword* What can your high intellect do to me?

Watts: *typing away on a scroll* Brains over Brawn, my dear boy

Rusted Knight: Then it's a good thing I have both
