Rhia

Warnings: smut, masterbation, riding

Summary: You’re bored on a hot day, your friends are busy, but your mon doesn’t know that. Why not visit Carl who’s probably reading, or doing something a littleee different, won’t hurt to peak. 500 words

It was freezing. Your mom insisted you kept the air conditioner on 46 degrees, instead of turning on the fan in her room. It wasn’t cold outside, actually the complete opposite. You glanced out your window seeing your alexandria neighbors sweating and playing around with water balloons. All of your friends were busy. Well not all of them. Carl was probably reading or playing with Judith.

You climbed off of your bed, and changed into a brandy melville set, one with hearts, that you were sure he’d like. It was a little wrinkly but you didn’t have time to pay mind to that. You looked in the mirror, brushing your hair back and shifting your top around to show a little cleavage.

“Mom!” you called out from the hallway.

“Yes y/n?” she replied from the living room

You swiftly walked in to see her reading peacefully, with her granny glasses pushed slightly down her nose.

“I’m gonna go to my friends house for a little, is that okay?”

“Which friend?” she said, turning to see you.

“Mariam” you lied.

“That’s fine. Oh! Can you take this..hold on” she got up and brought out a book from the shelf “Give her mother this, and tell her it was amazing”

She handed you a copy of Animal farm by George Orwell.

“Got it! See you later”

You figured you would just stop by Mariams house after you left Carls’.

Once at his door, you knocked, in a special pattern only you two knew.

To your surprise the door opened after only a few moments.

“Oh y/n hello.” Michonne smiled.

“Hi Michonne, is Carl home..or?”

“Yeah he’s upstairs, come on in” she said cracking the door open furthur.

You walked in, breathing in the smell of pinecones that Carl and Rick carried around, which they passed onto Michonne. It was always so comforting.

You made your way up the staircase and down the hall, stepping over various things like, Judith's toys, her laundry, boxes, and laundry. You chuckled to yourself thinking about much you knew Carl hated this mess, though the rest of the house was relatively clean. You tripped over a lego truck and ended up on your knee in front of Carls room.

You quickly got back up onto your feet, realizing you forgot to take off your slides at the door, you kicked them off, then you heard something. At first you thought it was your slides hitting the floor, but then you heard it again. It was almost like..heavy breathing. Not normal heavy breathing, like erotic.

You froze for a second not knowing what to do. You weren’t sure if you were even right about what you were hearing. You leant up against the door, pressing your ear to it. You heard the noise nice and clear now.

Carl was moaning, almost whimpering. You weren’t sure what to do, obviously you hadn’t been in this situation before. You were sure he’d thought you had tons of experience after he found out you are a but older, you could tell. But you only had some.

After a few more seconds of contemplating, you looked around to see if anyone was coming then knocked on his bedroom door.

Immediately you heard rustling but you took the initiative to just open the door right away. He was sitting on his bed with a comic in hand and pillow across his lap, of course.

You turned your back to him, twisting the lock on his doorknob. “Hey Carl! What are ***you*** up too?”

He sat there looking baffled, eyeing you from head to toe. “Oh nothing.”

“Nothing?”

“Well reading” he smiled, lifting up the comic.

You gave him a suspicious look then noticed something you recognized on the floor. You picked it up and realized it was a Polaroid of you. It was slightly wrinkled and somehow worn out, which makes you think he put it to great use. In it, you were wearing a bikini and smiling in front of a lake you and Carl found and swam in.

“Aw this is such a cute picture” You grabbed his arm and squeezed as you said that.

“It-it is- um a nice picture” He blushed heavily.

Your smile turned into a smirk as your attention went back to the pillow still residing on his lap.

“What's this for?” You asked even though you knew the answer well.

“Nothing,” he said once again.

“Really? I think you were doing something…something with this picture” you smiled, leaning down to match his level.

“I’m sorry- I just, I don’t know why-“ He sighed looking genuinely apologetic, and..cute.

“No Carl it’s okay. I can help you. Let me help you.”

You were now eye to eye with him, basically speaking your words into his mouth.

He crashed his lips onto yours eagerly. His hands roamed across your ass and your waist roughly, almost like he was impatient for whatever you had planned. His lips taste like cheap lip balm, and you’re sure yours tastes like cherry gloss.

You wanted to take it slow, but that was impossible at this point, lust filled the air, so that idea got lost.

You moved your hand down to his crotch and massaged swiftly. His lips quivered against yours, being unable to kiss in rhythm. He thrusted up into your hand, making a soft and warm feeling erupt in your stomach.

You pulled away and began undressing. You both hurriedly rid of your clothes, and once completely naked, you were on top of him, with his back leaning against the bedframe.

You dragged your bare cunt against his dick, earning a low moan from him. His face, and the feelings were making you turn blush pink. You continued your motions, he grabbed your thighs as he looked into your eyes.

“You look so pretty like this” he whispered

“Thank you…have you ever done this before?” you asked, now regaining your senses.

He stayed silent for a second, “No. Is that okay?”

“That’s definitely okay.”

“What do you want me to do?” he asked

“Don’t worry baby I’ll do the work” you said grinning

You took a hold of his dick and pumped it a couple of times before lining it up with your slit.

“Are you ready?”

He nodded, and you sunk down onto him. You bit your lip to contain the moan from slipping from your lips. His eyes were shut, completely taking in the bliss.

You waited a few seconds before you started moving back and forth. He was bigger than you expected, he reached far within you, places no one else has ever reached. He began to kiss your neck surprisingly, and it just added to the sensation by ten times.

You took his lips to yours while you tried to focus a little more on his pleasure. He was already a mess, trying to keep quiet by groaning against your skin.

You began to try and see what he reacted best too. First you lifted yourself up a little and sunk back down, seeing his face twist up made you smile without even realizing. Then you rocked your hips in circles, and then bounced up and down rhythmically.

You could tell this was all too much for him, but he liked it that way. You brought his hand up to your chest, letting him massage it. He was already lost in the clouds but this basically brought him to god. You giggled lightly at his vocal expressions.

You felt that sweet euphoric feeling deep in your abdomen and sped up your movements.

“God Carl….do you like it?” you moaned

“Yes…” his eyebrows furrowed. He was just as close as you “Kiss me again”

He did not have to tell you twice. You attached your lips once again. You didn’t even have time to warn him before you came. The orgasm sent goosebumps to every inch of your skin, while you saw stars. You moaned into his mouth, just as he did. You felt him throbbing mid-orgasm before he came deep into you.

You got off of him after the pleasure wore away. Both of you huffed in the comfortable silence.

“That was amazing,” he said looking far into your eyes.

“Really?” you crawled up to his spot and placed a soft kiss against his cheek. His eyes traced your face as his hands graced your hair.

“Really.”

A/n!!

I’m too tired to even write this part aghhh! Sorry I’ve MIA. I didn’t expect this past weekend to be so crazy. I won’t go into detail but I think someone was praying on my downfall HAHAH. anyway hoped you enjoyed this. I will be posting kinktober day three tomorrow to make up and day 4-5-6 will be posted on regular schedule, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday 8:30pm Pacific time. Have a nice night or day idk hahahhhgg

I was not aware of any of this until recently so I hope I am explaining it correctly -- but apparently Mattel originally designed and advertised a doll to tie in with the 1997 Cinderella starring Brandy... and then never released it.

I'm not sure why it never actually hit shelves - there may never have been an official reason given by Mattel. Now mostly what is found by searching for it is people who have created their own OOAK customs out of other Brandy Barbies.

Such as the "Singing Holiday Brandy", released a couple of years later. (This isn't prominently described as a Barbie on the box, but it does feature the Barbie logo and website on the back so I'll count it.)

Mattel have very recently remedied this... kind of. They have recently released a fashion doll themed around Cinderella as she is depicted by Brandy - not in the 1997 Cinderella, but in Descendants: Rise of Red.

While beautiful, this isn't quite the same!

So for now we will have to stick with people's OOAKs and customs. Like this one, from r/dolls!

[spooky-feline]

How Chad Charming got his name:

"Here's our son Prince Charles Arthur Vincent Henry Chad William James!"

"Chad?"

"Yes Chad"

"You named your son Chad?"

"Yes! ... Wait, oh no."

Based on the joke in the Brandy Cinderella that Prince Charming and his parents all have a ridiculously long list of names and one of them is always out of place.

After all his father is King Christopher Rupert Windemere Valdimir Carl Alexander Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman (Herman?!) Gregory James

[keepingupwithzaynmalik]

Zayn Malik is gearing up to release his long-awaited fourth studio album, and he’s co-produced the upcoming LP with Grammy-winner Dave Cobb, Rolling Stone can exclusively confirm.

In working with Cobb — one of Nashville’s most accomplished and in-demand producers — Malik will explore new sonic territory and lean into pairing his unmistakable vocals with live instrumentation. The soulful singer-songwriter had spent several years writing the album at his home in rural Pennsylvania before enlisting Cobb’s help as a co-producer. There’s no release date or title yet, but the album will be Malik’s first on new label, Mercury Records.

“What got me about Zayn was his voice, you can hear love, loss, pain, triumph and humanity in it. I feel as if this record is removing the glass from his spirit directly to his fans,” Cobb says. “Zayn has really created his own universe on this record, he really has no fear and is speaking straight from his soul.”

In an interview on Call Her Daddy last year, Malik teased the upcoming album a bit, saying, “I’m doing a record I don’t think people are really gonna expect. It’s a different sound for me. And it’s got some more narrative going on, like real-life experiences and stuff. My daughter’s mentioned in there a couple of times.”

Malik’s last album, Nobody Is Listening, was released in 2021. Since then, he’s shared a couple of scattered singles, including “To Begin Again” with Ingrid Michaelson, a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel,” and last year’s “Love Like This.” Back in January, Malik collaborated with the up-and-coming Pakistani group Aur on a reimagining of their hit single, “Tu Hai Kahan.”

As for Cobb, his credits include hit albums and critically acclaimed projects with Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Lady Gaga, Jason Isbell, Lori McKenna, and Sturgill Simpson. More recently, he’s teamed up with some classic rockers like Slash and Sammy Hagar, as well as Barry Gibb, Greta Van Fleet, Gavin DeGraw, and William Prince.

random shameless headcanons: debbie edition

i’m doing every (main) character btw i’m just starting with debbie cus i’m me

she had a pink stuffed bear as a child that is now the most musty, disgusting thing ever with one eye and a big patch on it that debbie sewed on so that she could give it to franny.

she definitely owns dior lip oil (did she actually buy it or steal it? who knows).

she has like every social media platform ever and has multiple backup accounts because she gets banned all of the time because she either has been reported by somebody, said/posted something wildly out of pocket and inappropriate, or just spammed too much. she also definitely shit posts on tiktok and posts a minimum of three videos a day.

she puts on a ridiculous amount of perfume every day because she got bullied for smelling bad as a kid but now she just wears way too much.

she loves vouge.

little debbie drank her coffee black, and older debbie drinks it with an ungodly amount of cream and sugar.

i feel like she liked brandy melville but was furious about their sizes so took to twitter and made a very angry post about it.

veronica and fiona pierced her ears when she was nine.

she doesn’t smoke (cigarettes, at least), but she vapes.

she uses pinterest religiously.

she texts all of her siblings (and mickey) on a daily basis and only gets a response half of the time (usually from carl, lip, or fiona, if she’s lucky she gets one from liam or ian, mickey will respond but always responds with something stupid).

she sets up playdates with franny and fred ALL of the time.

on franny’s sixth birthday, she threw franny a party that franny wanted, and it was vampire themed. debbie thought that she’d hate it but she actually had fun because of how excited franny was (i’m writing a fic about this rn, i’ll link it when i post it).

she EVENTUALLY gets therapy and learns to cope with her trauma and gives herself and franny a good life and gets a good, nice, loyal girlfriend (maybe it’s sandy, maybe it’s not. all i know is that it isn’t heidi).

Madlyn headcanons!

-Ashlyn calls Maddox Bub

-when everyone goes back to camp the next year, Ashlyn takes the bunk Maddox’s bed is on so that she can hold hands with her from the top bunk, and she starts writing her little notes and sending them down to her with a string. Maddox makes them a little mail box out of the wood she uses for sets so that she can send notes back. (They paint the mail box like Carl and Ellie in up)

-Ashlyn gets one of those shirts that says “I don’t need google, my girlfriend knows everything” and Maddox gets them both shirts that say “if lost return to Ashlyn” and “I’m Ashlyn” like that cute old couple with shirts that said “if lost, please return me to Dee” and “I’m Dee”

-Ashlyn says I love you first, and Maddox is so stunned she literally can’t get any words out and had a panic attack cause she wants to say it back but didn’t know what to do on the moment. She ends up asking for tips from Big Red, who is more than happy to help, and she ends up going backstage at the barn at camp and working the stage managers panel to drop a note on a string

(like they would do in the honey comb) where she tells her she loves in the note. (Including that Bug Red helped, cause who else could’ve inspired that -after all his little things like the light up sign, who else was gonna help her think of something that cute-. everyone is waiting outside and being nosey -in a sweet way- to their cute moment)

-Madlyn goes on double dates with Big Red and Andy, -I’m thinking Bandy or Brandy for their ship name, idk. Do we know if they have one and what it is?)

-Maddox becomes good friends with Big Red and bc they’re both neurodivergent they have a sort of symbiotic understanding in certain things. Big red knows all the best spots in school to go for quite. when Maddox gets overwhelmed for the first time around him he takes her to one of his spots, and some time afterwards he shows her where they all are in case she’s in a retain area of the school and needs one

-Maddox is ace and Ashlyn isn’t but she doesn’t necessarily need anything more than to have Maddox by her side and she doesn’t mind going her whole life without that side of a relationship as long as she has Maddox.

(Maddox eventually voices her worries about that when she tells Ash that she’s asexual and subsequently tries to avoid her -Ash is too good at knowing her girlfriend and finding her in a room full of people to not track her down to talk about why she’s avoiding her- it goes very well but Maddox can’t promise her reaction to stress won’t always be her running away and trying to avoid the person or thing causing it)

-For their one year anniversary, Ashlyn gets Dewey Wood to keep the camp running late (they keep it open for field trips and events during the year until camp over the summer) and she gets EJ as Val to drive them to Cali and sets up a movie night where they watch Maddox’s favorite Disney Channel original movie, Camp Rock 2 (the final Jam)

-after opening night Maddox’s mom asks why the hell she put a chunk of a tree in her room until she see’s what’s on it and they have a cute moment where Maddox gets to tell her mom Ash is her girlfriend offically. Her mom’s just happy Madison is out of the picture (she didn’t know what it was but she never liked Madison), but she’s so happy for her cause Maddox has been unknowingly gushing about Ash for weeks.

-When Maddox tells Ashlyn she’s autistic, Ashlyn does some research and gets her a little stuffed animal with the weighted beads inside it, (you can decide what animal cause I couldn’t pick between a d purple triceratops-which is what I have- and a raccoon -this one feels very Maddox I can’t explain why-) (Maddox likes the pressure of it on the side of her face for some reason)

-one of the first times she was there when Maddox was stressed and feeling overwhelmed and had darted to of the the nearest places big red had showed her, Ashlyn went after her and turned off the lights and sat with Maddox on the floor. (Eventually Maddox leaned against Ashlyn and fell asleep from being drained)

-The Balloons, sat in Ashlyn’s room until they deflated, and after that until Gina convince her that they needed to go because they were literally taking up space on her floor just sitting in their original spot. Ashlyn compromised and kept one folded in her drawer (including the note from Madison about how the way she talks about Ash is the way people talk about someone when their falling for them)

A fic where the reader has a crush on Carl but he is with Enid, but the reader keeps pursueing him and finally he gaves in, Carl and the reader have an affair (some smut occurs) Enid finds out about it, she and Carl have an bad argument and at the end they break up and Carl is happy with the reader :)

Bell

warnings: smut, vaginal sex, cheating, angst, fluff, not proofread, got tired at the end, edited 1721 words

The air was too warm for this time of night. You tossed and turned in your bed trying to locate a comfortable spot to fall asleep in. But it seemed impossible at this point. You sighed in defeat and got up, snuck in your slippers, and headed out of your house to go bother Carl, who usually stayed up around this time.

You would’ve thought to slip into something other than pajamas but you were far to lazy. And you had to admit that you wanted Carl to see you in this white brandy Melville intimates set. Even though he had a girlfriend, Enid, you couldn’t care less about what they had going on. You aren’t selfish or narcissistic, you just like to get what you want, especially if what you want, gives you heart eyes every time you’re around him.

You approached his window, making sure to avoid the prickly weeds under his window that always cut your ankles, and knocked softly.

“Carl?” You whispered “Hellooo?”

It was silent for a few seconds. You began to wonder if he was at Enids house.

Then you heard the bathroom door open followed by footsteps.

“Carl open the window!” you exclaimed, raising your voice.

His footsteps approached the window before he spread the blinds and peaked through. He looked relaxed, towel hung around his waist indicating that he just got out of the shower. Your eyes trailed down in a swift motion, blush flooding your cheeks.

“Hey y/n, you wanna come in?” He began lifting the blinds and unlocking his window.

“Yeah but I don’t wanna bother you if your busy or anything”

“Oh no I’m not busy at all. I’m just gonna get into my pajamas real quick so” he walked to his drawer pulling out some clothes before disappearing back into his bathroom.

You climbed through his window and looked around his room to see what might be new. It seemed he got a few more additions to his pile of comics, by now it was at least a foot tall. You sifted through the one on top when something sticking out caught your eye. You went through the pages again and came across the polaroid he took of you a few months prior hidden in between pages.

You smiled to yourself, taken aback by the fact that he would keep it there as if it was important to him.

You turned to see him coming out of the bathroom in a fresh pajamas.

“Hey I didn’t know you kept this.” You lifted the picture for him to see before examining it again. “This was such a fun day, do you remember how much trouble we got in for sneaking back in the gates soaking wet”

“Yeah, that was mostly your fault too. If you didn’t push me in I wouldn’t have had to bring you down with me” he chuckled

“No! It’s your fault too because you kept swimming and” you hesitated for a second letting out an awkward laugh “yeah it’s both our faults”

He smiled as he sat next to you on the bed. It was quiet for a couple of seconds. He had noticed the way you paused after mentioning swimming. You remembered how that day in the polaroid went. You guys had found a pond outside Alexandria and swam around in your undergarments before you both got too close and ended up kissing. He had been with Enid for a couple weeks at that point.

“I know what you’re thinking about” you muttered

“I thought we weren’t going to mention or think of that moment ever again” he responded

“Yeah well..” you trailed off “I think it’s okay now that we’re wayy past it”

“You want to talk about it?” he made eye contact with you, his breathing deep.

“It couldn’t hurt” you shrugged “Did you.. ever tell enid?”

“No..”

“You just forgot about it?”

“No.. I thought about it”

You noticed how his manner changed as he answered that.

“Do you still like- want it?” you asked referring to ‘it’ as the kiss

There was a loud moment of silence.

“Y/n.” he mumbled

“You do?” you realized that the whole time you guys were pretending nothing happened, nothing changed. The feelings were still there, maybe even growing.

He stayed silent looking down.

“Then kiss me”

“Y/n we can’t-“

“Yes we can. Don’t let Enid stop you from having this.. we made no progress whatsoever trying to forget.” you scooted closer to him

You kissed in rhythm, it felt like everything was falling into place all at once. Completely in bliss you crawled on top of his lap deepening the kiss, the hot air now filling you with energy.

He grabbed the strap of your tank and slowly dragged it down your shoulder.

In response you broke apart and lifted the shirt off your body, your chest now completely bear. You looked at him, hair disheveled and pupils dilated.

“Are you sure-“

“Whatever you were about to ask, yes I’m so sure just please”

He leaned in for a more demanding kiss like he was finally sure he really wanted you. You moved your hands down to untie the strings of his pajama bottoms while he kissed down your chest.

After a moment more, both of you were completely undressed , you were beneath him and his hand was snaking down your body. Shivers followed close behind his touch.

Once he reached your inner thigh he began tracing his fingers around your soft skin, knowing it would make you impatient.

“Carl..”

“I know.. don’t rush this”

After a few more seconds of him massaging your thighs, softly, he lined himself up with you.

“You ready f’me?”

“yeah” you whimpered softly

“Try not to make to much sound kay?” He said as he slowly slid into you

You choked out a small moan trying to comply.

“God your perfect” he said planting kisses down your jawline

He thrusted into you at the perfect pace, lewd sounds filling the air. He pleasured you almost effortlessly, yet hit every spot that had your eyes rolling back.

You were both stuck in a state of euphoria, the only thing you could think about was how pretty his hair fell in this position and how perfectly he filled you. It was all overwhelming you turned your face into the pillow, feeling him hit your sweet spot.

“Fuck, y/n don’t be shy” he said slightly panting

You smiled to yourself, turning back, and pulled him in for a sharp kiss.

“I’m close” you said feeling time slow

“Mm not yet” he cooed

You were a little taken aback by him delaying your orgasm but knew it was more of a turn on.

You agreed but found yourself subconsciously moving your hips in a circular motion chasing the orgasm.

You felt yourself tighten around him and before you knew it you felt the shockwaves of your orgasm. Your vision blurred and your breath became heavy. You rode it out only realizing about mid-through that Carl came too.

You relaxed as he pulled out, now feeling a small ache.

You heard him go into the bathroom and fetch something. Once he returned you felt a warm wet towel graze your stomach.

“Hold still”

The gesture warmed your heart as you sat up to see him with a cute concentrated look on his face.

Once he disappeared back into the bathroom you re-dressed yourself and turned on the fan laying on his desk.

He came back in and planted a kiss on your forehead, intwining your fingers together.

“Do you want something to eat? Then we can talk”

“Yeah do you have ramen?”

“Yeah I’ll be right back”

You sat wondering if you guys were gonna have to stay a secret or if he was gonna tell Enid. You would hate to be secretive but telling Enid would definitely be hell. Would she freak out on you or-

“Y/n?” Enid crowed

You whipped your head around toward the window. Your thoughts were racing between what the fuck and what do I say.

“Enid! Wow Hi, uh…wow”

She smiled awkwardly, eyes tracing the room.

“What are you doing here? Is Carl home? Does he know your here?”

“Um. Well yeah he knows I’m here he’s just in the kitchen getting food for us.. we were just-“

“I think I’ll just ask him” she interrupted, climbing in the window and walking out into the hallway.

You felt stiff and suffocated. Thinking about what Enid might do is easier than living through it.

You stood up, hearing their footsteps near the room.

“Y/n what were you doing here again?” She asked squinting her eyes

“I told you we-“

“No Carl I’m asking her”

You looked to Carl not knowing what to say. You could tell she was testing you.

“I just got here and asked for food.. why are you so worried? Jesus.” You said, trying your best to sound nonchalant

“I’m not worried. Carl just said you guys were about to call it a night because you’ve been reading comics since 6.”

Your mouth fell slightly open. You wanted to say something but didn’t know what

“You guys are together aren’t you”

You both stayed silent. You wanted to deny but knew you couldn’t.

“Forget it, you an asshole Carl” she said, leaving through the window

“No Enid wait” as soon as she was outside he followed her

You just stood their frozen. Your mind was wandering, hearing their muffled fighting outside. You decided you just wanted to go home.

You tried walking past their scene with no notice but failed.

“Y/n go to hell” Enid snapped

“You first” you said rolling your eyes

Carl grabbed onto your wrist to stop you from walking any further.

“Okay just wait. Stay. Please”

“Wow you guys make me sick” Enid said continuing to walk home

Later you and Carl snuggled up in his bed, exhausted from the past two hours, and the long talk you guys had about what you are now.

“Y/n?”

“Hm?”

“I love you. I’ve known way before the lake thing. I’m sorry I dragged it out so long without telling you” he said lightly dragging his fingers over your hairline.

“I love you too”

A/N!!!

I am so sorry this took so long😭😭 I’ve never had writers block b4 and now I have 5 other versions of this sitting in my notes app but YOLOO. And I literally tried to keep it short but it never works

The Strange Historical Origins of the Humpty Dumpty Nursery Rhyme

By Carl Seaver | 24 January 2023

Nearly all children who grew up during the twentieth century are familiar with the nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty.

This modern version of the short rhyme runs as follows:

“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;

All the King’s horses

And all the King’s men,

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.”

So far, the story is quite simple. However, there is a much wider story to how this nursery rhyme came into existence and developed over five or six hundred years.

This is the story of the strange historical origins of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme.

The Modern Origins of Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty has been around for centuries, but the modern, standardized version of the rhyme is largely derived from the version published by an English publisher and organist Samuel Arnold in 1797. This ran:

“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

Four-score Men and Four-score more,

Could not make Humpty Dumpty where he was before.”

Slight evolutions occurred after that throughout the nineteenth century until the twentieth-century version was arrived at.

Was Richard III the inspiration for Humpty Dumpty?

The Humpty Dumpty rhyme can be traced back to at least the late fifteenth century and is an allusion to King Richard III.

Richard III briefly reigned as King of England between 1483 and 1485 after his brother, King Edward IV, passed away.

Edward was to be succeeded by his son and namesake, Edward V, but as the young Edward was a minor in 1483, Richard was chosen to serve as regent until he reached adulthood.

Richard can hardly be said to have honored his brother’s faith in him and quickly placed young Edward and his younger brother Richard in the Tower of London, from where they never reappeared.

The assumption is Richard had his two young nephews killed, and thereafter, he usurped the throne.

He did not go unchallenged in this, and Henry Tudor, a Welsh upstart, overthrew him in 1485 by defeating Richard in combat at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

All of this is relevant to Humpty Dumpty because Richard suffered from scoliosis and was a hunchback.

Additionally, his horse was allegedly called ‘Wall.’

So, in later years, when figures such as the great playwright William Shakespeare wrote about Richard, they emphasized his humped back.

By modern standards of ethics, it hardly seems acceptable to refer to somebody with a physical disability as ‘Humpty Dumpty,’ but this seems to have been a reference to Richard’s humped back.

When the rhyme refers to him falling off of a ‘wall,’ this would seem to be a reference to his horse, which Richard is recorded as falling off of at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

The King’s soldiers and men are a reference to his forces at the battle being unable to win the day against Henry Tudor’s army.

Other Possible Origins of Humpty Dumpty

Richard III’s story is the most plausible origin of the Humpty Dumpty rhyme, but several others exist.

Some suggest that Humpty Dumpty is a derivative of a Swedish or Germanic fairy tale character, many of which were immortalized by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen in the nineteenth century.

There is also a plausible link to seventeenth and eighteenth-century slang terms.

For instance, Humpty Dumpty was a drink consumed in Stuart-era Britain composed of a mix of brandy and ale.

This, combined with other pejorative terms which were used at the time to refer to people of shorter stature, would suggest that at least in the eighteenth century before Arnold publicized the largely modernized version of the rhyme, Humpty Dumpty was a bawdy, insulting comedic figure of some sort which term was widely applied to people when inebriated.

Humpty Dumpty and the English Civil War

One final interpretation is that Humpty Dumpty was the name of a large piece of ordnance, or a canon, which was mounted on the walls of the town of Colchester in the mid-seventeenth century.

During the 1640s, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland were enveloped by a series of conflicts collectively known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms or the English Civil War in England.

Colchester was besieged during the civil war between King Charles I and the English Parliament in 1648.

Humpty Dumpty was the name of a huge canon atop the town’s walls.

The Royalists, the King’s supporters, held the town while the Parliamentarians besieged it.

The wall, which Humpty Dumpty was perched on top of, was shattered by parliamentary ordnance fire, and Humpty Dumpty fell off this great wall.

The King’s Men, in this interpretation, were the Royalists, who could not remount the canon, and eventually, after an eleven-week siege of Colchester, were forced to surrender to the Parliamentary forces.

Again, the theory that the Humpty Dumpty rhyme originates in the siege of Colchester in 1648 is speculative.

What seems clear from all of this is that there is no one origin story for the Humpty Dumpty rhyme.

Rather, it was a rhyme inherited from the early modern world from medieval times.

Each successive generation reimagined it to suit the circumstances of their age, whether that was Richard III falling from his horse in 1485, a canon falling from the walls of Colchester in 1648, or somebody who had drank too much brandy and ale falling over in the seventeenth or eighteenth centuries.

Each generation brought its interpretation to the rhyme we all know today.
