THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 91st Tilt

Lord Ravenhurst, The Court Jester (1955) VS. “The Player”, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1990)

Propaganda

Lord Ravenhurst, The Court Jester (1955) Portrayed by: Basil Rathbone

"You know how much of a joy it is to watch the one human person in a story full of muppets? That’s Ravenhurst. A delightfully camp villain trying desperately to win his political intrigue movie not realizing until far too late it’s been infiltrated by (literal) clowns. Also the way he’s so down bad for Hawkins before realizing Hawkins is not a dashing suave assassin who will help him get what he wants? -chef’s kiss- I could watch their sword fight all damn day. Ravenhurst is just so delightfully evil in comparison to Hawkins’s bumbling heroics that it makes both of them an absolute treat to watch. Have you not seen Court Jester? Go watch it. Get it? Got it. Good."

“The Player”, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1990) Portrayed by: Richard Dreyfuss

“A total DILF.”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Ravenhurst:

Ravenhurst vs. Hubert Hawkins Full Swordfight

“DILF RIGHTS!!!!! look at his nose. look at his vile expression. he was 60 somethin’ in this movie, and I’d still go down on him any day”

(+ Bonus Hubert Hawkins)

“Every time I watch this beloved movie, I find myself thinking: "Good god, look at Basil Rathbone's CALVES." Also, from a meta standpoint, I think it is extremely sexy of a man to play a role that is essentially spoofing the roles he was famous for 20 years earlier (and to still have calves like that.)”

For "The Player":

No Additional Propaganda Submitted

"The "Socratic approach" is what you call starting an argument by asking questions. IS there an ESOTERIC ALLEGORY concealed in the apparently innocent legend of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs? A religion based on The Goddess of Confusion? Is that the answer to my question?

[recycledmoviecostumes]

This purple doublet is an excellent example of how costumes are altered and adapted for new productions. 

The costume likely originated with the 1955 film The Court Jester, where Basil Rathbone wore it as Sir Ravenhurst, though it is possible that it came from an earlier production, as The Court Jester did recycle some of its costumes.

The piece was used again in the 1961 film Snow White and the Three Stooges, where Guy Rolfe wore it as Count Olga. The costume underwent alterations to give it the look of having slashed sleeves.

Glimpse into my life: I got the tattoo.

For my wonderful following who began their journey with me by reading my first fic "you kissed the clown"; the most of you know I was inspired by my favourite childhood movie: The Court Jester.

Plot: A former carnival performer, Hubert Hawkins (Danny Kaye) and maid-captain Jean (Glynis Johns), are assigned to protect the infant royal heir from tyrannical King Roderick I (Cecil Parker).

While Jean takes the baby to an abbey, Hawkins gains access to the court by impersonating the king's jester, unaware that the jester is really an assassin hired by scheming Sir Ravenhurst (Basil Rathbone). When Princess Gwendolyn (Angela Lansbury), falls for Hawkins, a witch secretly aids him in becoming a knight.

Tropes: friends to lovers, failing forward, clueless blumbering idiot man x strong forward-thinking woman, hopeless romantic, witchcraft, humour, sword fighting.

Mid-writing, I expressed that I had the intention of getting a tattoo to express my love for the movie, and my love the pitiful black-fox jester played by Danny Kaye.

This was the clip I showed my beautiful artist (who is a one-piece fan), and he interpreted it so wonderfully.

It's still very raw and it'll soften a touch over time, but I adore it 🥹. It looks like a d&d module, and I love it.

He also tattooed me beneath an emotional support Luffy, so that was beautiful.

Happy New Year 🖤

Das ist die Geschichte von Wednesday Addams - einem Mädchen, das zwar im Schatten wandelte, aber das Licht in den Herzen derjenigen entzündete, die bereit waren, hinter die düstere Fassade zu blicken;

Im kleinen Städtchen Ravenhurst, inmitten von düsteren Wäldern und nebligen Mooren, wuchs Wednesday Addams auf. Wednesday war von jeher anders als die meisten Kinder in ihrer Umgebung. Während andere sich an Puppen und Plüschtieren erfreuten, zog es Wednesday zu den mysteriösen Tieren des Waldes und den verwitterten Grabsteinen auf dem alten Friedhof. Ihre schwarzen Zöpfe und ihr bleicher Teint sollten ihr wahres Wesen verbergen - eine Seele voller Geheimnisse und einer tiefen, unerschütterlichen Liebe für das Makabre. Trotz ihrer ungewöhnlichen Interessen und Vorlieben war Wednesday Addams eine bemerkenswert kluge und scharfsinnige junge Frau. Sie konnte die finstersten Bücher verschlingen und auf unnachahmliche Weise mit den Schatten spielen. Ihre Gedanken waren unerschöpflich und von einer Weisheit, die weit über ihr zartes Alter von 17 hinausging. Obwohl sie oft als düster und unheimlich wahrgenommen wurde, hatte Wednesday auch ein Herz voller Mitgefühl und Loyalität. Sie war immer bereit, für ihre Familie und Freunde einzustehen und sich für das einzusetzen, was sie für richtig hielt - selbst wenn es bedeutete, gegen gesellschaftliche Normen zu verstoßen.Wednesday Addams war eine wahrhaft einzigartige Seele, die ihre eigene Welt der Schatten und des Mysteriums erschuf. Sie war eine Königin der Dunkelheit, eine Prinzessin des Makabren und eine Anführerin derjenigen, die anders waren. Ihre düsteren Geheimnisse und ihre schaurig-schöne Natur fesselten diejenigen um sie herum und machten Wednesday zu einer unvergesslichen und faszinierenden Figur in der Welt der Addams Family.

Unordinary Court Jester AU. Is this anything. Isen is Hubert Hawkins. Giacomo is John, Griswold is Blyke, Ravenhurst is Cecile, the king is Arlo, Gwendolyn is Remi, Jean is... idk, Sera? Elaine? (tho Elaine as Griselda... but then relationship wise it would make more sense that Gwen is Sera), and in the end it's revealed it was just Isen making up crack in the Safe House while Blyke tries to interrupt all the time.

is everyone in the city getting a tumblr account??

I guess so, all we're missing are Rooky, most of the fire station, Drs. Wexler and Ravenhurst, Richard Momentous, Billy and the sewer dolphins
