I’m standing across from you (but I see you)

I’ve dreamt alone, now the dreams won’t do (but I see you)

(We're still working hard on some pieces for a zine about those two characters with @the-nothing-maker and I can't tell you how proud I am for our hard work! It's never easy to create something this big about original characters, but even if I feel quite anxious I'm not quitting!)

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #medieval fantasy #coworkers to lovers #val cardinal #picturing Lazuli looking at Mel from time to time without being able to open up to him always breaks my heart #he's looking so tired and afraid and melancholic #all alone in the shadows #in the last sessions of our dnd game they kissed just before Mel went out of town for an unknown period of time... it is hard guys #meluli #my art

Soap's self-preservation instincts must be dead and forgotten in a ditch somewhere because there is NO logical explanation for how he speaks to Ghost, one of the most prolific mercenaries of the century

(Aka an excuse for me to draw Medieval armor in detail. That's what this whole au is)

Check out more Medieval 141 here

#call of duty #medieval 141 #my art #call of duty ghost #call of duty soap #ghostsoap #soapghost #My love of drawing armor transcends time periods #I can't wait until Ghost loses it and stabs Soap in front of the King #And Price would go you know what? He deserved that. Stab him again

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

#lol I don't remember writing this - I found it when I was searching for something else in my drafts. But it's 100% true so I had to post it.#elizabeth woodville #my post #Imo this is mainly because Elizabeth's negative historiography has always involved both vilification and diminishment in equal measure.#and because her brand of vilification (femme fatale; intriguer) suggests more indirect/“feminine” than legitimate/forceful types of power #It's still bizarre though-you'd think these would be some of the most famous & defining aspects of Elizabeth's life. But apparently not #I guess she only matters when it comes to marrying Edward and Promoting Her Family and scheming against Richard #There is very lacking interest in her beyond those things even in her traditionally negative depictions #And most of her “reassessments” tend to do diminish her so badly she's rendered utterly irrelevant and almost pathetic by the end of it #Even when some of these things *are* mentioned they're never truly emphasized as they should be.#See: her formal appointment in royal councils. It was highly unconventional + entirely unprecedented for queens in the 14th & 15th century #You'd think this would be incredibly important and highlighted when analyzing late medieval queenship in England but apparently not #Historians are more willing to straight-up INVENT positions & roles for so many other late medieval queens/king's mothers that didn't exist #(not getting into this right now it's too long...)#But somehow acknowledging and discussing Elizabeth's ACTUAL formally appointed role is too much for them I guess #She's either subsumed into the general vilification of her family (never mind that they were known as 'the queen's kin' to actual #contemporaries; they were defined by HER not the other way around) or she's rendered utterly insignificant by historians. Often both.#But at the end of the day her individual role and identity often overlooked or downplayed in both scenarios #and ofc I've said this before but - there has literally never been a proper reassessment of Elizabeth's role in 1483-85 TILL DATE #despite the fact that it's such a sensational and well-known time period in medieval England #This isn't even a Wars of the Roses thing. Both Margaret of Anjou and Margaret Beaufort have had multiple different reassessments #of their roles and positions during their respective crises/upheavals by now;#There is simply a distinct lack of interest in reassessing Elizabeth in a similar way and I think this needs to be acknowledged.#Speaking of which - there's also a persistent habit of analyzing her through the context of Margaret of Anjou or Elizabeth of York #(either as a parallel or a foil) rather than as a historical figure in HER OWN RIGHT #that's also too long to get into I just wanted to point it out because I hate it and I think it's utterly senseless #I've so much to say about how all of this affects her portrayal in historical fiction as well but that's going into a whole other tangent #anyway- I am forever judging historical/fictional books that center around or heavily involve Elizabeth which do not highlight these things #ofc there are other things but these in particular *really* frustrate me #just felt like ranting a bit in the tags because these are all things that I want to individually discuss someday with proper posts...

the vampire arun

#so armand's age puts him at being born just before the delhi sultanate fell #however . if i'm already taking liberties with his timeline i can very well imagine him being around in classical/medieval times too #so take my au where arun is one of the ancients and remains in india for thousands of years forever serving gnc slay #clothing details following (my research was quick and just for fun i may have gotten something wrong):#the first armand is wearing an uttariya scarf over one shoulder and antariya (dhoti)#which was from ancient india but i believe was still worn into the medieval period even as stitched garments became popular #the 2nd armand is meant to be from the mughal empire his gown is called jama and he's dressed very regally #the 3rd is in a modern kurta the jewelry is just for fun #arcadiiian art #amc iwtv #the vampire armand #armand iwtv #iwtv art #historical fashion

i’m planning on designing some “historically accurate” (or as close i can get) designs for the main characters in merlin, does anyone have some good resources for 500s-ish welsh/british clothing?

#anything medieval in general would be super helpful too!!#i know this is incredibly specific but i’m sorely lacking in knowledge on the specific time period #its hard to get that period entirely accurate #merlin #bbc merlin #merlin redesigns

sorry I've been slacking on fundie content lately, I recently learned that a Welsh prince came to the Americas in the 1100s with a few hundred people and that his descendants might be the real life explanation for a few midwest/southern/appalachian folk legends (well it was native history that white people wrote off as folk legends) and that the Smithsonian might've been complicit in hiding this information so. that's been taking up a lot of my time

#i haven't had a fixation line this for a while lol I'll make up for it with some fundie social media updates #there was a European CASTLE IN INDIANA GUYS A CASTLE #and the colonizers just took it apart to build their own shit bc they were like oooo free building materials im losing my mind #people in my area build a lot of shit or of limestone bc it's everywhere and sometimes they build shit in this old medieval looking style #that's always confounded me but they were probably just replicating the look of the structures that used to be here! and culturally it just #continued up until present day im freaking out #they also found roman coins on both sides of the Ohio River from the exact time period that pre-date Columbus *screeching*

once again need all the "medieval fantasy" fans out there to understand that by many historical opinions, the War of the Roses began AFTER the medieval period

"medieval" is a whole lot older than most of yall realize and i'm begging yall to look at a timeline before you start calling things "medieval fantasy"

#the War of the Roses is like either the first time after the medieval period #or the last thing in the medieval period depending on who you ask #for context that means ALL of Tudor England took place AFTER the medieval period regardless of which take you believe #shakespeare was AFTER the medieval period #all of Protestantism in general is AFTER the medieval period

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

#elizabeth woodville #nobody was doing it like her #I wanted to add more things (eg: propaganda casting her as a transgressive figure and a threat to established orders; the way we'll never #truly Know her as she's been constantly rewritten across history) but ofc neither are unique to her or any other historical woman #my post #wars of the roses #don't reblog these tags but - the thing about Elizabeth is that she kept winning and losing at the same time #She rose higher and fell harder (in 1483-85) than anyone else in the late 15th century #From 1461 she was never ever at lasting peace - her widowhood and the crisis of 1469-71 and the actual terrible nightmare of 1483-85 and #Simnel's rebellion against her family and the fact that her birth family kept dying with her #and then she herself died right around the time yet another Pretender was stirring and threatening her children. That's...A Lot.#Imho Elizabeth was THE adaptor of the Wars of the Roses - she repeatedly found herself in highly anomalous and #unprecedented situations and just had to survive and adjust every single time #But that's just...never talked about when it comes to her #There are so many aspects of her life that are potentially fascinating yet completely unexplored in scholarship or media:#Her official appointment in royal councils; her position as the first Englishwoman post the Norman Conquest to be crowned queen #and what that actually MEANT for her; an actual examination of the propaganda against her; how she both foreshadowed and set a precedent #for Henry VIII's english queens; etc #There hasn't even been a proper reassessment of her role in 1483-85 TILL DATE despite it being one of the most wildly contested #periods in medieval England #lol I guess that's what drew me to Elizabeth in the first place - there's a fundamental lack of interest or acknowledgement in what was #actually happening with her and how it may have affected her. There's SO MUCH we can talk about but historians have repeatedly #stuck to the basics - and even then not well #I guess I have more things to write about on this blog then ((assuming I ever ever find the energy)#also to be clear while the Yorkists did 'eat themselves alive' they also Won - the crisis of 1483-85 was an internal conflict within #the dynasty that was not related to the events that ended in 1471 (which resulted in Edward IV's victory)#Henry Tudor was a figurehead for Edwardian Yorkists who specifically raised him as a claimant and were the ones who supported him #specifically as the husband of Elizabeth of York (swearing him as king only after he publicly swore to marry her)#Richard's defeat at Bosworth had *nothing* to do with 'York VS Lancaster' - it was the victory of one Yorkist faction against another #But yes the traditional line of succession was broken by Richard's betrayal and the male dynastic line was ultimately extinguished.

Sonic and the Black Knight save me. Save me SATBK

#i need to tear something apart with my teeth and bare hands. to shreds #why is satbk so GOOD!!!!#im just a sucker for knights and worldbuilding. and being so utterly devoted to a cause it starts to tear you apart #the contrast of the high tech time period of modern/classic sonic to no technology/medieval time period of SATBK #also Sonic's characterization in that game is so good. he clearly has heart but hes also kind of an asshole and its GREAT.#he does what he feels is right. even if that may make him the villain/bad guy #all of the cast who are knights are characters bound by duty. Blaze as a princess to an empire. Knuckles the guardian of the master emerald #and shadow with his promise to maria (although I do believe he eventually does it for himself rather than obligation)#but how all these characters are knights is ah! so good #im just. thinking about SATBK #also new chapter dropped of What Isn't Yours and I need to walk in circles until I drill a hole im the ground with my feet #clenching my fists. i need to Draw Something SATBK related

The changes the writers made to Alicent, Aemond, and Aegon have too many modern connotations and it disturbs me that so many people find those connotations "sympathetic."

#and my GAWD do their fans get angry when you point out those very glaring and intentional connotations #no it's not insensitive to point out that Aemond is a shoot shooter when his main trait is aggrieved entitlement #No it's not insensitive to point out that Alicent is a Woman for Trump and a White Woman™ when that's how she was intentionally written #Do I think that it's overly simplistic writing? Yes. But that doesn't change the fact that that's how the story is written #asoiaf #hotd #hotd critical #team black #asoiaf fandom #fire and blood #anti team green #hotd sexism #I will defend people who argue that Cole is not an incel though. He's not. He's actually something worse #And his characterization is actually better rooted in the European Medieval time period than the others - to an extent

I don't actually want the series/movie to happen because it feels like it will just be another dissapointment (think pjo). If they make anything, I'd prefer it to be animated (because let's be honest, I don't think you can pull off people dissapearing and slinking around without looking foolish and bad, when using actual people)

x

#beside the fact i don’t trust any company to make anything that isn’t set in a time period before 1990 look good #there is a part if the fanbase outside tumblr that is not going to be happy with necessary changes for timeline consistency and woke reason #do not forget 80% of the people who read these books are not in fandom and do not think about it outside canon and will riot if the girls #aren’t 25 yo super models and the guys 6’4 norse gods #yes im talking about the kids #people are mad they made the action zuko ‘gay’ imagine what will happen with the medieval kinda sometimes racist book lovers when any kind #of diversity is added #rangercorpstherapy #ranger’s apprentice #rangers apprentice
