Refine the matter of your reputation. What are you best known for?

I write fanfiction under the ao3 name aceofspace13, post art on my art blog @notbeatingtheachuesations, and I love stories about blood, identity, and decent people in the middle of horror. I also make ask games which people have said they really like :)

Refine the gestalt of your identity. What do they see, when they look at you?

pronouns are, in order of preference: ce/cer, it/its, they/them. I’d also prefer if you mix them up a little. names are Aelan or James, pick one or mix them up, it doesn’t matter. aromantic, asexual, and not attracted to characters or real people at all.

Change your profile page header. Where are you usually found?

my player characters are listed above, my main blog is @solreefs, and I have a lot of other sideblogs as well. I play Fallen London often, but I do have a habit of leaving my characters in situations where they can’t accept social actions and then forgetting about it. oops. I also get sick a lot, so while I love roleplaying, it may take me some time to get back to your messages. in regards to real life stuff, I live in the united states, and I will not be getting any more specific than that.

♫ Georgia On My Mind ♫ (Redux)

Last time I played this song, January 5th 2021, our eyes were on the runoff elections for Senate in Georgia.  Little did we know then what the very next day would bring!   Today, Georgia is on our minds for another reason that I’m sure I don’t have to identify for you.  So, this song just seemed like a natural for the moment.  We’ve been in a state of constant stress and it’s only gonna get…

Don't Settle

And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Acts 2:2 ESV I want to say from the outset that I want all that Christ has and wants for me. When it comes to our spiritual pursuits we must guard against being too easily satisfied. That is, as soon as we get a glimpse of what we’re seeking we cease our pursuit and…

On 22nd March 1421, Scottish army. under the Earl of Buchan defeated English forces at Bauge in Anjou, France.

Not heard of it? That’s because the history we were taught in school was all anglicized, oh we did get a wee bit about the 100 year war, mainly Agincourt, because the English won that day, or possibly Crecy, another victory for them, Bauge and many other times the English were gubbed are ignored.

Ok you might be wondering why I say a Scottish army, historians all say that the majority of the troops were Scottish soldiers, aye there was a few Frenchmen fighting on “our” side, but this was very much a Scottish victory over an English army.

This all goes down as part of the Auld Alliance, which was signed in 1295 by King John Balliol and Philip IV of France. The Alliance was renewed periodically after that date and by the 1410s it was very much “in play” as Henry V of England initiated the third phase of the Hundred Years War, often known to historians as the Lancastrian War.

In 1418, it was the French Dauphin who called on his Scottish allies for assistance in his efforts to curtail Henry’s depredations after the great battle of Agincourt in 1415. It had to be the Dauphin, or Crown Prince, who sought help from Scotland because the French king, Charles VI, was already showing signs of the mental illness that would eventually see him nicknamed Charles the Mad.

The French aristocracy had split into two factions with many supporting the Duke of Burgundy in his aspirations to take the throne, while many others stayed loyal to the King and the House of Valois, known as the Armagnacs. Increasingly it was the teenaged Dauphin, the future Charles VII, who made all the major decisions for the Valois regime and, faced with the Burgundy alliance with Henry V and the surrender of many of his own forces, he sent for help from Scotland.

The complicating factor at the time was that King James I of Scotland was still a prisoner of the English, albeit that he was part of the royal household of Henry, whom he greatly admired, and he would actually fight with the English army against the French in France in 1420. In charge of Scotland was the Duke of Albany, Robert Stewart, who had become regent when James was first captured by the English in 1406 while en route to France.

There had been no large battles between the Scots and the English since the Battle of Homildon Hill, or Humbleton Hill, in 1402 won by the English, but with England preoccupied with France, Albany no doubt felt it safe to respond positively to Scotland’s oldest ally. By 1419, there was also peace of a sort along the border with England so the Scots could afford to send an army of around 6000 men including men at arms, spearman and archers to serve alongside the remaining French royal army.

Henry V’s of England’s brother, Thomas the Duke of Clarence led 10,000 men south towards the Loire. They set about besieging the castle at Bauge when the Scots were garrisoned, they made contact with them the day before Good Friday. A truce was reached, lasting until Monday, so that the combatants could properly observe the religious occasion of Easter.

The English lifted their siege and withdrew to nearby Beaufort, while the Scots camped at La Lude. However, early in the afternoon of Saturday Scottish scouts reported that the English had broken the truce and were advancing upon them hoping to take them by surprise. The Scots rallied hastily and battle was joined at a bridge which the Duke of Clarence, with banner unfurled for battle, sought to cross. A detachment of a few hundred men under Sir Robert Stewart of Ralston, reinforced by the retinue of Hugh Kennedy, held the bridge and prevented passage long enough for the Earl of Buchan to rally the rest of his army, whereupon they made a fighting retreat to the town where the English archers would be ineffective.

Both armies now joined in a bitter melee that lasted until nightfall. During this time Sir John Carmichael of Douglasdale broke his lance unhorsing the Duke of Clarence; since that day the Carmichael coat of arms displays an armoured hand holding aloft a broken lance in commemoration of the victory. Once on the ground, the Duke was killed by Sir Alexander Buchanan. The English dead included the Lord Roos, Sir John Grey and Gilbert de Umfraville, whose death directly led to the extinction of the male line of that illustrious family, well known to the Scots since the Wars of Independence. The Earl of Somerset and his brother were captured by Laurence Vernon (later elevated to the rank of knight for his conduct), the Earl of Huntingdon was captured by Sir John Sibbald, and Lord Fitz Walter was taken by Henry Cunningham.

On hearing of the Scottish victory, Pope Martin V passed comment by reiterating a common mediaeval saying, that the Scots are well-known as an antidote to the English.

Ball turret gunner Sgt Benedict Borostowski at his station on B-17F “Invasion II”. The plane would go down over Oldenburg, Germany after taking flak and having its number 2 engine shot off by Luftwaffe fighters.

17 April 1943, Target: Bremen, Aircraft Plant While over the target “Invasion 2nd” took flak hits and was attacked by German fighters. Three fighters came in head-on at 1200 O’clock level and shot off the front of the No. 2 engine. Cpt. O’Neill rang the bail-out bell and called out over the intercom for the crew to leave the aircraft. The ball turret gunner, T/Sgt Benedict B. Borostowski, came up into the fuselage and went to the partly open waist door. The door was jammed and would not open further. The waist gunners, S/Sgts William B. King, left waist, and Eldon R. Lapp, right waist, were sitting in front of the door, unable to squeeze out. Sgt Borostowski stepped up and one at a time put a foot between their shoulders, and in turn, pushed both gunners through the narrow opening. The others in the rear of the aircraft had already left. The tail gunner, S/Sgt Aaron S. Youell, dropped through the tail escape hatch. The radio operator, S/Sgt Charles J. Melchiondo, and the flight engineer, T/Sgt Harry Goldstein, went out through the bomb bay. There was no one left to push Sgt Borostowski out. So, he went to the tail escape hatch and dropped out. The rest of the crew, including Cpt O’Neill and the copilot, 1Lt Robert W. Freihofer, bailed out through the nose hatch. The bombardier, Cpt Edwin R. Bush, detached the Norden bombsight and tossed it out the escape hatch before following the navigator, Cpt Edwin M. Carmichael, through the opening. All crewmen survived to become POWs.

JEREMY IRVINE IS HENRY BEAUCHAMP

Always like him. What a super start in War Horse very versatile actor.

Jeremy Irvine is an English stage and screen actor. He was born Jeremy William Fredric Smith in Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire, England. He attended drama school at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before catching Hollywood's eye starring in Steven Spielberg's 2011 epic war film "War Horse." In 2012, Irvine portrayed Philip "Pip" Pirrip in the film adaptation of Charles Dickens's 1861 novel of the same name Great Expectations.

Have you seen this movie? 🎥

War Horse (2011) Young Albert is enlisted in the army to join the First World War after his beloved horse was sold to cavalry. Albert's hopeful journey takes him outside of Britain and into the front lines as the war rages on.

For his work in the film, he was nominated for the London Film Critics' Choice Award for Young British Performer Of The Year and Empire Award for Best Male Newcomer.

In 2013 Jeremy Irvine starred alongside Colin Firth in The Railway Man, an adaptation of the 1995 autobiography of the same name by Eric Lomax. The Railway Man is a war film directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, and stars Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, Jeremy Irvine, and Stellan Skarsgård.

Jeremy has starred in The Woman in Black: Angel of Death (2015), and portrayed Daniel Grigori in Fallen (2016). Irvine earned widespread critical acclaim for his role opposite Dakota Fanning in the independent film "Now Is Good," leading critics to list him among Hollywood's fastest-rising stars.

Daniel Grigori

He played Daniel Grigori the male protagonist of the Fallen series. He is a fallen angel and Luce's boyfriend. He was known as the sixth angel in Heaven, the Angel of Lost Souls and The Watchers which was named Grigori.

In 2018, Irvine portrayed the younger version of Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan) in the sequel to Mamma Mia!, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

In 2021 Jeremy Irvine was in the war drama biopic ‘Benediction’ (written and directed by Terence Davies) is a lyrical and elegant period piece. It reintroduces the world to the poetic genius of Siegfried Sassoon (Jack Lowden) a decorated war veteran hero, and a dreamer.

He played Ivor Novello (on the left), was one of the many post-war lovers of Siegfried Sassoon, played by Jack Lowden (right).

As for his résumé, Jeremy Irvine has brilliant performances in theatre, on the big screen and television. So it was a good choice because he will not disappoint with his performance in “Blood Of My Blood”. So, SH the clock is ticking. ⏰

Quashing this Michael Gregson/Downton Season 4 rumour once and for all (hopefully).

I've seen this going round for a while, that because of Charles and his busy schedule, Gregson got killed off and never made it past season 3.

Here’s the rumour taken from a Screenrant article:

Two words. Citation needed.

Where did this come from? Who said this? Fellowes? Production?

Charles?

Certainly not.

Under the cut is my theory (only a theory, but based on evidence I have gathered) as to the real reason why we got no Gregson after s3.

The biggest red flag to me is that Charles himself has stated that he was actually very keen to come back, saying,

"I’d have liked to have married Lady Edith, of course I would. It was denied me. I don’t know why.” - interview from OfficialLondonTheatre.com

I don't know why.

Now if the rumour was true, you would think Charles would have said something like, "I would’ve liked to have married Edith, but due to my other work commitments, I could not fulfill this wish," instead?

Granted, during season 4 filming, he was doing a stage job at the West End (a few Downton allumni, inc Joanne Froggatt, went to see him during its run), so maybe the rumour started based on the fact he already had a job so couldn’t have fit Downton in, right?

Not necessarily.

Did you know, that during season 3 filming, Charles was actually doing two acting jobs? Yes. Downton during the day, then a National Theatre production in the evening. His play opened on 23rd Feb 2013, then the day after, he was spotted filming in St Pancras station with Laura Carmichael. So it is entirely possible that he could have fitted in season 4 filming alongside a stage job if he had to.

But but but, I hear you cry, Charles would have had to take some time off from his play to do Downton? He could have done that yes; actors have been known to break off a theatre run for other projects, but nope. He made it to every single performance. The theatre would have announced if he had to leave for a period due to other acting commitments, but never did. So 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to add Fellowes could have also gone, "Right Charles, we're signing you up for season 4," and if he had already accepted the stage job, could've cancelled and done Downton as top priority (Charles did once have to forfeit a stage role for a TV role due to a scheduling clash - in 2022 he was signed up to do Best of Enemies at the West End, but Rings of Power was a much bigger commitment than preciously predicted, and due to a plethora of reasons, filming ROP AND perfoming BOE would have been an impossible feat).

So in conclusion, it wasn't Charles's fault we got no more Gregson. It was Fellowes's doing; he didn't want him back. Or did, but couldn’t think of how to bring him back.

TL;DR: Charles wanted to come back and could have fitted season 4 into his schedule, but Fellowes didn't ask him to return.

Also I'll add in my sources later, I'm just tired to fit them all in rn lmao
