David and Jonathan

okay! I finished The Prince’s Psalm about a week ago and I've dug my nose deep and now it's all I could think about.

This is my first post on here and my first time using Tumblr because it's the only media l could find people talking about the book and the tale of David + Jonathan

These are designs I came up with early into my read and they're bound to change later :)

I have plenty of sketches of them that l'd love to share soon 🫶

Made this a while ago, figured I should post this, I find it really cute <3

This is a little animation gift for @anniflamma >:3

No one underestimates Jonathan’s shots. I also have a headcanon of a little turtledove that likes to follow David and Jonathan around, so here I included one, except it almost gets pinned by Jonathan’s arrow lolll

Johnathan is a better man than me in the released songs of the Beloved King Musical, because if I was him and my dad admitted to me that he also wanted to fuck my boyfriend while berating me for having a boyfriend who is supposedly manipulating us for political gain, I would not have let that slide, 5th Commandment be Damned

They make love out there in the field, before David has to leave for good. It’s fast and messy, with both of their emotions running so high. Yonatan comes with the taste of David’s tears on his tongue.

He stays lying on his back in the grass until the sound of crunching footsteps finally fades away, and only realizes later that, in their utter desperation for each other, he’d forgotten to take any of the usual precautions. But by then, it’s far too late.

***

Four months later, he goes to see David at Horesh. Even in the dim light of the hideout, David looks at him oddly.

“Something’s different about you,” he muses, and Yonatan has to stop himself from reflexively clutching his belly. He’s not showing yet, not really, but he can feel the life growing inside him.

He expects David to approach him then, to explore the planes of his body as he’s done countless times before. He readies himself to tell David the truth, to finally feel the weight of this secret lift off his shoulders. But David comes no closer. He eyes him for another moment and then turns away, pulling out a large map of the Judean territories as he updates Yonatan on his group’s movements over the last few months.

It’s better this way, Yonatan decides. David has enough to worry about at the moment without concerning himself with Yonatan’s health, and there’s no guarantee that the baby will make it to term anyways: it’s not as if Yonatan is willing – or able – to confine himself to bedrest for nine months. When David returns to Giveah, Yonatan can reevaluate the situation. Most likely Yonatan will never need to reveal his mistake; best case scenario, David will have an heir to secure his lineage as he ascends to the throne.

***

Years later, as Yonatan lies bleeding out under the stars, his last thought is to wish he’d gotten the chance to tell David about their son.

evil Jonathan

The evil Jonathan is my favorite idea!!

THX @sir-davey for providing me with an idea😍

(But if you think I stole your idea, I'll apologize and delete it.)

TW: a bit of a bloody description

maybe Jonathan thought something like this before he died

: He probably wants his memory to mess with David's head even after he's gone.

It's like he's got this sick desire to stick around in David's mind forever...

But, this is just me overthinking stuff :)))

David and Jonathan drawing I made a year ago ✨

I can't believe it's been a year, wow. Regardless, I still really enjoy this piece, it's one of my favorites.

Maybe I'll redraw it one day

[anniflamma]

Little summary of what I did this year! Though the Adoni animatic was made during 2023, I did make an animatic (the french opera one) that ended with them banging each other as well… So this counts too!

Every day Beloved King: A Queer Bible Musical doesn’t get a full cast album a [Insert Joke]. I pretty sure the worst thing Covid did wasn’t killing people, it was delaying this stage reading!
