The best plot twist in cinematic history is when Ahkmenrah takes off the mummy wraps and instead of a scary decomposing corpse he's cute and sassy.

i have spilled so much ink about gawyn but really i only need 2 passages to explain why he is Like That
1. My blood shed before hers; my life given before hers...That was the oath he had taken when barely tall enough to peer into Elayne's cradle. ... Gareth Bryne had had to explain to him what it meant, but even then he had known he had to keep that oath if he failed at everything else in his life. (LOC prologue)
2. From Morgase, Queen of Andor, to her beloved son, Gawyn. May he be a living sword for his sister and Andor. (ACOS prologue)
like yeah, no wonder he does what he does in AMOL. people will be like "gawyn is so stupid for not thinking about the fact that his death would hurt egwene" as if he's being maliciously stupid and careless, when in fact, he has such little self-worth that he genuinely does not consider himself a valuable human being whose loss would impact anyone or anything. his life given before hers. a living sword. this has been his mindset since toddlerhood and nobody ever noticed it enough to try and counteract it. gawyn is exactly what rand would have been like at the last battle if he hadn't had a mental health intervention.

I just made them to get their designs out of my brain but now they have lore (which is under the cut)
A handful of poses come from Mellon_Soup's amazing pose references
Marina is the lovely princess of a small little kingdom. The subjects of her kingdom expect their greatest royal Knight Edric to eventually ask Marina's hand in marriage and become the kingdoms next ruler
Little do they realize that Marina is in love with the Outcast witch Aria who lives at the edge of the kingdom (and that she often sneaks out at night to visit Aria and learn some magic herself)
While Edric has his eyes on the Court Jester, or more accurately, the court jester's imposter
As the real court jester eloped with a woman from a band of traveling minstrels. Leaving his sibling (Colette) to take his place in hopes of keeping up their position in the castle so that they can care for their sickly mother.
Edric is the only one to catch on to the Twins' little switcheroo and is delighted to have an excuse to get closer to Colette (often in the form of teasing and fake threatening to expose their secret)
Poor Colette often has to work twice as hard as they also have to uphold their position as a royal Hand Maiden to the princeas

lilyknight134: Today I was very lucky and I met tom and zendaya and Nikki! (Toms mum) for a second time! They are such lovely people and came to The Royal Marsden Hospital, we all had lots of pictures together and I got to walk them around mcElwain ward to meet all the children going through treatment. We also took a visit to the teenage and young adults ward 😇 I had such a lovely day thank you so much for coming.
