🥂, 👠, 🍒, &🪞

AHHHHH TYSM FOR THE ASK!!🤭🫶 I'll be answering these DR S/O ask game questions with my Minecraft Diaries S/O, Garroth (aka my whole life). Long post with a LOT of yapping ahead!

🥂 — how did you two meet and how did your relationship progress?

We officially met when I visited Phoenix Drop! Garroth, working as head guard there, investigated me when I entered. He was lowkey suspicious of me at first, but I won him over with my bubbly nature and natural charm (as I do with everyone💪😌). Initially, it was a pretty platonic relationship with some light flirting. There's always been a level of mutual attraction, but we never fully acted upon it. Guard and Lord relationships have never worked out historically in this reality, anyway. But then he caught feelings (naturally). It's a good few years before he even thinks about confessing, let alone actually doing it, so there's a lot of pining and secrets and ALL THAT JAZZ

🪞 — what are some photos that depict your relationship with your s/o?

AAGGHHH LITERALLY LOVE THIS QUESTION SO MUCH!! I have a lot more than these 3 but I feel like they encompass our relationship dynamic well🤭. In the first image, I love how the woman's hand looks against the metal of his armor. It's a stark contrast. This gentle, soft touch on a harsh, cold surface. It just feels like us. Garroth has spent nearly all of his life hiding, metaphorically and physically. And then here I am, this wonderfully open and unabashedly expressive woman, giving him the space he needs to be authentic to who he is. That picture just gives me that feeling. The painting is JUST SO US RFTGHUHYTFFT. It's an artwork by Frank Bernard Dicksee titled "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" based on the poem of the same name. Everything about this painting is just SOOOO me and Garroth. The idyllic nature scene which surrounds them, the way he looks enchanted with her and the way she looks lovingly at him, and the overall romantic aesthetic of it. It's warm, soft, and even enchanting. And also, going back to the poem, you can't read this line and tell me this ISN'T US:

"I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful – a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild."

LIKE???? BROO??? HE'S DESCRIBING ME???? My guy is so down bad I love him🛐.

👠 — what is your ideal date night with your s/o?

OOOOO this one is a lot of fun!! It requires a bit of explaining though. So in Phoenix Drop there's a dock right? I really love to hang out there because it's just such a special place. We held our first village wedding there, we've had so many formative moments in general there, and it's got this absolutely perfect view of the moon at night. So both me and Garroth (typically separate but sometimes together) will go there to think, talk, and reflect on everything that's happened. It's like our spot. Thus, my ideal date night would be at that dock!! Maybe get a little picnic with candlelight under the moon going. And I scripted that fireflies are super common at night, so IMAGINE US ON THE SAND WITH FIREFLIES ALL AROUND US RTGHHGTFRRFTG😭🙏. But honestly, any time I spend with him is an ideal date!!

🍒 — do you have any inside jokes with your s/o or funny scenarios?

I haven't scripted any scenarios in particular (mainly because I'm devoid of inspiration💀🤚), but I joke around a lot in this DR. Making him laugh is one of my specialties. It's literally the BEEESSTTT feeling in the world because he doesn't laugh that often, SO WHEN HE DOES??

Stretch'd at my feet, what prospects glow! A world of verdure smiles below Smooth's in one vast expanse of green Hamlets, and hills, and woods are seen:

And where yon far-fam'd valley leads Her velvet o'er a thousand meads, DOVE wanders with increasing force And threads of silver mark his course.

John Gisborne.

3,5 from 2017, the rest from July 2017 (I somehow forgot to post this at the time, then remembered it on my first return trip here, in June 2024).

Calwich Abbey (8) was founded by Augustinians around 1130 as a satellite of Kenilworth and became independent in 1349; monks fed themselves and cared for others from the fat of the land and their hard work and ingenuity- you can still see the fishpond (5-6).

It was absorbed by Rochester Abbey in 1532 and was dissolved in 1543, becoming the property of the Fleetwood family of secular landlords.

Bernard Granville bought the estate from the Fleetwoods and built a new house, of which almost nothing remains, before dying in 1775. Within three generations the Granville line had died out and the estate was sold to the Duncombe family, who employed William Burn to build a Victorian gothic house in 1849-50. This was mostly demolished in 1927 (7) has mercifully been saved as a record; by this time it was much harder to live as an old-fashioned Staffordshire aristocrats.

It was a challenge to walk through the ferns and himalayan balsam at Golds Wood, but such dense woodland should be appreciated and it opened up to a view from Mayfield which was just as lush as what Gisborne saw, along with other 'locals' such as Georg Handel, Erasmus Darwin (please visit his museum in Lichfield), Anna Seward and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

They orbited around Wootton Lodge, which is privately owned annd which I’ve never been able to get anywhere near, and relaxed in the nearby Weaver Hills- please see my earlier post from that place- and here.

In 2015 it was bought by Garrick Sayers, who died in 2021, and while a holiday cottage stands on the site, little has changed at the building itself since 2017.

The River Dove is here, as for much of its course, the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire and I crossed it to visit the handsome town of Ashbourne (please see here for my photoshoot from there).

So I, in humble measures hail Those blest who dwell within thy vale.

George Bernard Sheth loves his pug and his bees. People? Not so much. He spends his days in his garden and with his beehives. Since moving to Dufftown, Scotland, several years earlier, all the honey he produces goes to a local mead brewer he’s had a crush on.

 

Murphy Baird loves the entire process of brewing from start to finish. He particularly likes spending time with his honey provider. All of his mead is served at the pub attached to his brewery.

 

With the help of meddling friends, the two have been plodding their way towards a first date. However, it all goes pear-shaped when a customer dies under suspicious circumstances in the middle of a mead tasting. Murphy soon finds himself in the crosshairs of a police inquiry almost immediately.

 

They find themselves in the middle of a burgeoning romance while navigating a confusing murder mystery.

 

Can they avoid death threats and arrest long enough to make it to their first date?

Too wet. Nobody wanted to hit the parallel bars.

Notes:

Only a dozen or so came to do this damp and cold workout.

I had planned an unplanned wine tasting post workout. The available wine (1 white and 2 reds) was more than enough. Actually, much more than enough. Afterwards, Ed opened a PORT WINE that had been standing around for weeks on a jump-box. Historically a gift from Bernard they said. The cork was desiccated as it had stood upright too long. Ed fractured the cork but we still enjoyed it. It was tasty and corked for a later date.

Most people left prematurely.

Thursday Thanksgiving at 8 AM. Many won't be able to come. There is a Race in Belle Meade that takes precedence. Imagine that.

And then Saturday at 0730 and 0930.

La Belle Dame sans Merci, Frank Bernard Dicksee (1853–1928)

La Belle Dame sans Merci est mon tableau préféré depuis mes 11 ans. En plein milieu du chapitre sur la poésie de mon manuel de français, il illustrait un poème du même nom par John Keats, je le regardais pendant toute l'heure à rêvasser, enchantée par la scène mythique qui y est présentée.

La Belle Dame est représentée enchanteresse, un regard et le temps s'arrête. Elle est sans Merci et pourtant chaque élément du tableau lui dévoue SA merci : le soleil lointain s'incline, le cheval fait sa révérence et le chevalier en armure chavire. Elle le fixe, son souffle est coupé et il ne peut pas détourner le regard, complètement épris.

"Je te défis, détourne le regard, vas-y." Il en est simplement incapable. Il la retiens faiblement, s'accrochant désespérément à son destrier. Mais cela a suffisamment duré, elle doit repartir tandis pour son cœur qu'aucune armure ne peut sauver. Aucun homme ne reste bien longtemps à ses côtés, elle les charme, les berce et repart. C'est la FEMME FATALE.

Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight, Alone and palely loitering; The sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing.

Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel's granary is full, And the harvest's done.

I see a lilly on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew; And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.

I met a lady in the meads Full beautiful, a faery's child; Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild.

I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long; For sideways would she lean, and sing A faery's song.

I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love, And made sweet moan.

She found me roots of relish sweet, And honey wild, and manna dew; And sure in language strange she said, I love thee true.

She took me to her elfin grot, And there she gazed and sighed deep, And there I shut her wild sad eyes— So kissed to sleep.

And there we slumbered on the moss, And there I dreamed, ah woe betide, The latest dream I ever dreamed On the cold hill side.

I saw pale kings, and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; Who cried—"La belle Dame sans merci Hath thee in thrall!"

I saw their starved lips in the gloam With horrid warning gaped wide, And I awoke, and found me here On the cold hill side.

And this is why I sojourn here Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing.

— La Belle Dame Sans Merci, John Keats ( 1795-1821)
