#st. crispin's day party
Text
It’s the eve of St. Crispin’s Day! Time for my annual festival of crying into a glass of wine about Henry V.
Backstory: I read the play and watched the Olivier film at around age 12. And so, of course, when Olivier said “And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by / From this day till the ending of the world / But we in it shall be remembered,” I tearfully asked myself if anyone was taking care of that.

St. Crispin’s Day Party- October 25th, The Hollow Crown
Since I’m out of leeks and I don’t feel like nailing things to church doors, I’m celebrating St. Crispin’s Day/Reformation Sunday by watching Henry V and eating homemade tacos. Thanks to @oldshrewsburyian for the idea of having a watch party!
I’ve seen The Hollow Crown, the Branagh version, a live version, and studied Henry V in middle school, but I’m neither a historian nor a Shakespeare scholar, and it’s been a while since I’ve read the play or watched any of the adaptations, so I fully claim my bad opinions or dumb questions in this post. Be as kind to an enthusiastic amateur audience member as you would to an enthusiastic amateur actor.
The funeral was a solid choice as a framing device.
While we’ve seen Henry V’s character progression in Henry IV and heard his reasons for acting up and appearing not to be a responsible and studious prince, in the previous play it has only been a source of tension within Henry’s friend group, his father, and the court (& Harry’s narrative foil Hotspur). However, as Harry wants to expand into France, there are some new, farther-reaching consequences of his past behavior, which gives the Dauphin an excuse/justification to mock Harry’s claim. I think this also has a part in Harry’s inner conflict as Harry makes harder and harder decisions.
I don’t know if they should have cut the Southhampton treason scene? The scene’s not as effective if you haven’t seen Henry IV, but since it’s the Hollow Crown miniseries, the audience would have seen Henry IV and known Scrope’s particular importance. I think it’s an important establishing moment that shows what kind of king Harry is going to be and adds to the tension of the play between Harry's past as prince, and his present as king, showing that Harry cannot be swayed from his kingly role by his former friends whether they’re common or not. However, I usually err on the side of wanting to cram everything from original works into adaptations, and I think the themes of the play are well shown even without the scene.
“It be like that sometimes”— Nym
I love how comfortingly Tom Hiddleston gives part of the “Once More Unto the Breach” speech to the random yeoman.
I forgot how often Harry gets the scene-ending couplets.
I’d like to see the actress who plays Catherine do some comedies! She’s pretty funny in the English-learning scene.
Even if you haven’t read or seen Henry IV and seen Harry’s interactions with the Eastcheap characters, the scene of Bardolph’s hanging is such an important and affecting scene, and this version pushes the emotional intensity to the hilt with the score and the flashback, and Harry rejecting Nym and Pistol-- as Bardolph is hanging there.
Has there ever been a better series of scenes written than the scenes before the night of Agincourt?
THE ST CRISPIN’S DAY SPEECH WILL NEVER NOT GET ME GOING.
As king, Harry united his body with England and with France, (THE most important theme of the play), and his body is the only ransom he can give to France. Don’t talk to me i’m incoherent with feelingsssss
How controversial would the focus on Harry’s Welsh heritage have been during Shakespeare’s day?
“The poor and untempering effect of my visage” hahahaha shut up Tom Hiddleston
Anton Lesser closing the play made me tear up a little.

All Hail the Conquering Hero
After months of working on the Prince’s face at the church in Shrewsbury, Bradmore removed the last tent from the Prince’s face and stitched the wound.
“After a day or so of rest, your Grace, we can head back to London,” Bradmore told the relieved prince.
About five days later (due to a slow procession so as to avoid overtaxing the weak and wounded prince), Hal found himself stumbling out of the carriage before the Palace at Westminster just as the Abbey bells rang for None prayers.
Bradmore gripped the young prince’s shoulder firmly. “We made it, your Grace,” he said with a smile.
Hal thought he might collapse right there in tears of relief. There were days, Hell, months he thought he wouldn’t ever see the Thames or Westminster again. Bradmore walked him into the palace where he left the Prince to see to their luggage.
Before Hal could think, much less react, a shape came rushing at him, knocking him flat on his ass. It knocked the breath out of him, sending a jolt straight through his body. He screwed his eyes shut and held his breath until he realized arms were wrapped around him and soft sobs were coming from the shape attached to his body. Hal slowly opened his eyes to find Humphrey holding onto him, crying against his shoulder.
Hal held his brother as tightly as his arms would allow when Thomas and John came running into the room, winded.
“Sorry we couldn’t catch him,” Thomas said, seriously, “He ran too fast for us.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Hal responded, his voice still rough. He reached an arm out to them. “I’ve missed you both.”
John looked at Thomas, hesitating, then he joined his younger and eldest brothers on the floor. Thomas waited a moment, concern clear on his face.
“I won’t break, Thomas. I promise,” Hal said.
Thomas nodded and joined the pile-on.
Just as Humphrey began to catch his breath, the nurse walked in with the two girls.
“What are you doing?” Blanche demanded.
Hal poked his head up. “Hello, Blanche.”
“Hal!” Phillipa cried before launching onto the pile, throwing elbows to get closest to her eldest brother. Blanche smiled and happily threw herself on top.
“I say,” the nurse started, unapproving, about to peal the royal children off the Prince of Wales. Hal held them tighter, but there was no need.
“Lady Joan,” a familiar voice started, “there is no need to separate my children,” Henry said as he walked into the room.
The childrens’ heads all snapped to look at him, unsure if they should stand in his presence, considering what he’d said. He shook his head. Lady Joan dropped into a low curtsey. “As you command, your Grace,” she said and turned to leave.
Henry, unsmiling, turned to look down at his children. Hal didn’t know what he was feeling, but there was this deep-seated ache, and it wasn’t just physical.
“We were just greeting Hal, Father,” Blanche said.
Henry held up a hand to stop her. “I know, darling.” Henry looked almost nervous as he cleared his throat a few times and finally asked, “may I join, as well?”
The boys looked at each other uncertain as well while Phillipa said, “of course, Papa!” holding an arm out to him.
Henry was unpracticed in hugging, but he carefully got down with them and figured a way to wrap his arms around all six of his children.
After a time, Henry reached over and mussed John’s hair and patted Blanche’s back. “Alright, everyone, let’s let Hal get some rest; he’s had a long few days of travel.”
The younger ones groaned, but they all pulled themselves off Hal and off the floor. Thomas and John reached a hand down and helped pull Hal up. Thomas took a step closer putting a hand on his brother’s side as Hal tried to find his balance. Hal screwed his eyes shut, holding on to Thomas and John for stability.
“Better, or do you need to sit down?” Thomas asked.
Hal shook his head. “No, I’m better now.” Hal standing and not covered by his siblings gave everyone a good look at him, and what they saw worried them.
Hal’s face was still bandaged, which they expected, but they didn’t expect the sharp lines of his face, the way his clothes hung on his body, the empty look in his eyes. Humphrey hugged his brother again. “I missed you, Hal.”
Hal hugged him back. “I missed you too, Humphrey.”
Humphrey pulled back and looked up at him, disapprovingly. “I wanted to visit you, Hal.”
“I know. I was just worried how you would take seeing me like that.”
Humphrey pulled himself straight. “I could take it, I’m practically an adult, now.”
Something in Hal bristled at his brother’s assertion. He was hardly an adult at seventeen, and he didn’t really want to be. But he bit his tongue and kept himself from snapping at the boy. Instead, he nodded. “I know you’re older, but I’m still allowed to worry about you. I still worry about john and Thomas, you think I would stop worrying about you just cause you’re older?”
Humphrey pouted. “I guess not.”
Henry stepped in. “I think it’s time Hal got some rest, everyone can visit with him later.”
Humphrey pouted some more, but he knew not to argue with his father. The girls each quickly hugged one of Hal’s legs.
“Sleep well, Hal,” Phillipa said.
“Feel better,” Blanche said as they stepped back.
Henry wrapped an arm around his son and started leading him to up to his room. They had to stop every few steps on the way up, and more than once, Henry thought that his boy might collapse right there on the stairs. But Hal made it to the top of the stairs, winded though he was. Thomas and John waited on the landing, following a bit behind in case they were needed.
When Hal seemed able, they walked slowly to the boy’s room. Henry knew Hal was pushing himself, but he didn’t want to hurt his son’s pride without needing to. It wasn’t until he could feel his son shaking and uneasy on his feet that he stopped him. “Thomas,” Henry said behind him, knowing the boy was close.
Thomas closed the gap between them, waiting for his father’s instructions.
“The door, Thomas.”
The boy nodded and quickly went to open the door while Henry scooped his eldest son into his arms, and despite Hal’s relatively weak protestations, he carried his eldest the rest of the way into his room.
John quickly passed them and turned down the bed and Henry placed his boy on the bed.
“I could have made it,” Hal insisted quietly, his eyes screwed shut again.
Henry smoothed his son’s hair. “I’m sure, I was just worried we were overtaxing you.”
Hal rubbed at his forehead. “Father—” he started, exasperation in his voice.
“Really, you should rest,” John said.
“I’m sure Bradmore will want something from you later, anyhow,” Thomas said.
Hal stiffened at Bradmore’s name, but he sighed. “Fine.”
Thomas and John both gripped Hal’s arm, giving it a squeeze and leaving him alone with their father.
When the door latched shut, Henry knelt down to pull his son’s shoes off and pulled the boy’s legs up onto the bed, pulling the covers up over him.
Henry could feel his old self descending on himself. He had always been uncertain and perhaps demanding and a bit frigid to his children. Not because he didn’t love them, but because he had no clue how to connect with them. For a few minutes, at least, he had had no reservations about connecting with them in whatever way they needed, but now he was self-conscious and hyper aware of every movement of his hands, every twitch of his face. Despite himself, he reached down and cupped his son’s face. “I’m—I’m really so relived that you’re home, Hal.”
“Something flashed in his son’s eyes, but it was gone as soon as he noticed it was there. “As am I, Father.”
Henry squeezed the boy’s shoulder and pulled his hand back. “Get some rest and I’ll see you later.”
Hal nodded and buried himself deeper under the sheets. “This is so comfortable I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep.”
Henry thought for a moment, then pulled up a chair. “Then I’ll wait ‘til you’re asleep.”
“You don’t have to—”
“Hal, go to sleep,” Henry ordered.
Hal paled at the tone in his father’s voice, giving a sharp nod. “Of course, Father.”
Later, when the King’s advisors were looking for him, Thomas and John found their father asleep, half falling out of the chair by his son’s bed with Hal snoring loudly. They quietly turned and left, telling Henry’s advisors they couldn’t find him.

Henry V sees Richard's ghost after Againcourt. The King is sitting with York's body, and he's not best pleased that Hal's ruined his French peace AND got his boyfriend killed in the process, but all the same, Hal needs some comfort, and Richard doesn't hold grudges against children
I’m crying.
Seeing York dead is the worst part of it. As happy as he is to have him now in the Afterlife, Richard hadn’t wanted Ned to die so terribly. For some reason it represents everything that’s happened and come to an end.
Richard’s marriage to Isabelle was a treaty that was supposed to last for at least 20 years (I don’t remember the actual number) and Hal couldn’t even respect that... Richard is not a warrior and takes no pride in the carnage, but you’re exactly right, he can’t hold a grudge against a child-- especially one of his children. And he knows Hal is like he was, in over his head and trying to live up to something, only this king might be able to.

Our party’s Shadowrun campaign having come to a suitably bonkers conclusion last night, I can now opine that:
1. Shadowrun, properly played, is a game system for people who hate fun
2. Apparently the more grimdark and crunchy a system is, the more we all rebel against it by trying to do impossible things, to the point where our GM had to throw out all the rules and make up new ones from scratch. Just for context, last night’s session involved:
our bard-equivalent insisting on visiting a soup kitchen the GM mentioned offhand, whereupon he roared like 60% of Henry V’s St. Crispin’s Day speech at the patrons (apparently off the top of his head?!), rolled a negotiation check, and walked out with a revolutionary army
the one party member with arcana knowledge transfiguring himself into a nasutoceratops, thus gaining dino-strength but losing the ability to communicate in any manner other than stomped responses to yes-or-no questions. Which, considering our main quest involved arcana knowledge, was...challenging.
my Bad Bisexual Rep(TM) character, forced to choose between facilitating their girlfriend’s multiverse-takeover plan and their boyfriend’s multiverse-takeover plan, panicking and doing both instead
“This is the way the world ends/This is the way the world ends/This is the way the world ends/Not with a bang but with Nickelback”
Love you Em, thank you for bearing with us <3

Better late than never?! ;)
Hey all,
I thought I’d post this here, since quite a few of the posts seem to be about a shared love of fanfic - particularly of the whump variety.
So…as usual, I’m late to the party - but better late than never, I guess?
Anyway, in case anybody actually cares…I have FINALLY hopped on board the whump fanfiction train.
My desire to get a ticket started off when I was about twelve or so, I guess, and my family decided to introduce me to the marvel that is ‘50s-'60s western series: chiefly 'Bonanza’ and 'Rawhide’. It took less than five minutes for the whump to hit me (brace yourselves for a cringeworthy simile!) …you guessed it, like a train. I mean - cutiepie Michael Landon as Little Joe Cartwright everytime he got hurt/shot/beaten up?
And a young Clint Eastwood as ramrod Rowdy Yates (who knew he had such a baby face?!?!) that time everyone thought he’d contracted anthrax?
Fanfic emerged as a matter of course - first as something confined solely to the boundaries of my imagination, and then, gradually, as hasty, half-formed scribblings stashed away in the bottom drawer of my desk - seemingly fated never to see the light of day. I’d never heard of online sites where people just like me put up these thoughts and stories for others to read - and then, one fateful day in Grade 8, my best friend told me about a little thing called 'fanfiction.net’.
It was like the world opened up (not at all an overdramatic statement, I assure you!). All of a sudden, here was an entire virtual library of stories - ranging from pointed paragraphs to full novels - about my beloved characters…which not only included the Cartwright family and the Gil Favor drive, to my delight, but also Sherlock Holmes…Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin…the entire IMF team (original Mission: Impossible, anyone?)…David Janssen’s Dr. Richard Kimble ('The Fugitive’)…Obi-Wan Kenobi…Captain Jack Sparrow…and so many others.
At first I gravitated to fics that contained only characters I knew…but I soon branched out by browsing through the works and favorited stories/authors of my favorite writers. For example, I discovered a heretofore unknown love for LOTR through fanfiction - for which I must thank the very talented writing team of Cassia and Siobhan - and along with it, a passion for the previously-ignored Legolas:
As I matured, so did the nature of the fanworks I sought to read…and here I faced my first real quandary - my own writing wasn’t good enough! Fanfiction wasn’t merely a frivolous pastime, I had realized - for the serious authors, there was a drive to achieve a certain realism, an emotional depth, that I had erroneously thought could only be found in classic published literature. And things didn’t always have to get physical, either. Writers like geekmama, honorat (Pirates of the Caribbean), librophile, ruth baulding (Star Wars), St. Crispins (Man from U.N.C.L.E.), Thundera Tiger, telemachus and consumptive_sphinx from AO3, which I discovered only a few years ago (LOTR and Tolkien’s writings), and many, many more could torture and turn their characters into wrecks without laying a figurative finger on them…
These were people who wrote whump with style.
For several years, as a result, I was a silent participant in fanfic - remaining a reader only. The scant few works that I’d begun posting I either took down or left unfinished…
And then, in November of 2014, inspiration hit. In fifteen minutes I typed up what I understand is called a 'drabble’…and posted my first ever complete fanwork. It was for the 'Star Wars’ prequel trilogy, and I called it 'Travels’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10811942/1/Travels). I asked for reviews - and got them! People actually liked what I had to say!
I tried writing again - and again, and again. My first attempts turned into the beginnings of novel-length stories that were destined never to be completed.
I grew discouraged…until I went back to basics. What had made 'Travels’ successful? Its simplicity - a focus on a single, overarching concept, and a setting limited to a brief moment in time. With that in mind, I sallied forth once more - and came up with 'Prima Facie’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11637656/1/Prima-Facie-The-Scarlet-And-The-Ivory) and 'Rift’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10897388/1/Rift). Much later, after discovering Tim Burton’s films, came a fic for 'Sleepy Hollow’ called 'Before the Half-Shut Eye’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12900323/1/Before-The-Half-Shut-Eye).
I had discovered my strengths as a writer - character study and introspection - rather than extensive plot development…as always, it goes without saying, grounded in whump.
And then, last year…I finally watched 'The Hobbit’…
The rest, as they say…is history.
Move over, Legolas - I want more of pretty elf-boy’s prettier dad!
And did I get it…watching the behind the scenes videos on YouTube, I wound my way to:
ALL ABOARD FOR LEE PACE!
What’s not to love? The drop-dead gorgeousness…the versatility…
…And, oh my sweet LORD - the potential for whump:
Consider this: I’ve written the same complete fanfics just from December 2018 that I wrote over the course of four years - every single one of them for Lee Pace characters. Two are for 'The Fall’ - 'Scraps of Orange Peel’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13220805/1/Scraps-of-Orange-Peel) and 'Persephone’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13151538/1/Persephone), one is for 'Halt and Catch Fire’ - 'Logic Error’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13269415/1/Logic-Error), and one is a (rather dark?) reworking of another author’s fantastically sad 'Pushing Daisies’ all-normal AU - 'Baker’s Dozen or Life in Twenty-Six Parts’ (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13199725/1/Baker-s-Dozen-or-Life-in-Twenty-Six-Parts)…which also happens to be, hands-down, the longest piece I’ve ever attempted.
And, if my brain has anything to say about it, there seem to be plenty more to come.
Hey, what can I say? Lee makes for the perfect muse.
Besides…how can you say no to this smile?

Shout out to that one time I read out the St Crispin's Day speech from Henry V at a party while drunk as fuck, started crying at around “we few, we happy few, we band of brothers”, but managed to struggle through to the end, and got a standing ovation from all the other sympathetic drunk people.

Two weeks till Agincourt Day! An asynchronous watch party probably makes the most sense, but it has been a year and I am thinking about how it might be possible to arrange something slightly more convivial. Any ideas? I’ll continue tracking “St. Crispin’s Day Party.”
Incidentally, I am also still thinking about @boostockingbaby‘s contribution from last year:
#st. crispin's day party#agincourt#st. crispin crispian will ne'er go by from this day to the ending of the world#but we in it shall be rememberèd#henry v

The Dying of the Year – Ideas for Autumn Festivals
Hullo, gentle readers. As I write this, the first leaves are beginning to change, heralding the beginning of my favorite season of the year – autumn.
As much as I love autumn, for people living in the kind of Medieval times that the typical D&D world seeks to emulate, this was the beginning of a darker time of year. The day was shorter, the year was growing colder, and many folk believed that the walls between the worlds of the living and the dead were growing thinner.
Like many holidays in medieval times, many autumn holidays were religious in nature. September brought St. Michael’s Day, or Michaelmas, while October brought St. Crispin’s Day. Both celebrated the lives of saints. Goose or chicken was commonly served at Michaelmas feasts, and St. Crispin’s Day brought revels and bonfires, while townsfolk dressed up as “King Crispin” and his royal family would parade through the streets.
Far more famously, October/November brought the Celtic holiday of Samhain, now celebrated as Halloween. This was the time when livestock were slaughtered for the winter and cattle were brought bac from the summer pastures. Ritual bonfires were lit that were thought to aid in protecting and cleansing a community.
Further, Samhain was a night when the walls between the worlds were more easily crossed. Old gods and nature spirits needed to be placated, because they had an easier time crossing over, and the spirits of the dead were thought to visit their old homes. (People going from door to door pretending to be spirits and begging food eventually gave way to Halloween trick or treating.) In less spiritual terms, we know from the monks of old Ireland that people at Samhain had meetings, gave feasts, drank alcohol, and held contests.
And there’s no need to only look to medieval Europe for inspiration for festivals. Japan’s many “matsuri” can offer plenty of ideas, such as “float-pulling parades”, food festivals, the “Ja Odori” or Dragon Dance, horseback archery displays, parades of samurai, and the Kurama Fire Festival. China has its own Moon Festival, with display of lanterns and sweet moon cakes during this time, and India has Diwali, the festival of lights.
In your campaign world, the walls being thin between the worlds doesn’t have to be something imaginary. Maybe the walls between the Prime Material Plane and the Feywild or Shadowfell really are thin during this time of year. If creatures really do crossover, this might be a good time for adventurers to make a name for themselves in their home communities by making sure nothing dangerous comes within the city limits.
Given that this coincides with harvest time and the slaughter of livestock farmers wouldn’t want to try to keep through the winter, it’s a grand time for feasts. Perhaps your community comes together in a “stone soup” sort of celebration, each sparing what they can to feed everyone. This is a great opportunity for PCs to rub elbows with important NPCs. If this coincides with a market festival, travelers might come from all around to celebrate, bringing rumors of strange dungeons and adventures that lie beyond the borders of the lands that your PCs normally explore and protect.
Since D&D encourages a world of the fantastic, your autumn holidays may be completely unrelated to anything from our own world. In my campaign, for example, the Harvest Faire brings all manner of feasting, games, dancing, and merriment. It’s also, traditionally, the time when adventurers gather and form new Adventuring Companies and seek out patrons, usually offering to adventure together for the status of the lord who grants them a charter. This is when the Fire Wasps, the party traveling together in my own game, officially took that name and became a group, so this time of year is important to them as well.
Maybe in your campaign, the autumn is when there’s a suddenly parade of flumphs that jet by, causing a village to release floating lanterns for the flumphs to dance around. Maybe there’s a running of the bulls like affair with a herd of owlbears. Or maybe the town gathers scrap metal to toss to the wild rust monsters that act as a natural guardians for their community.
Hopefully this gives you ideas about autumn festivals in your own world. If your campaign has an autumn festival, consider sharing it to inspire your fellow DMs.

London Restaurants With New Delivery & Collection Options (2) added to Google Docs
London Restaurants With New Delivery & Collection Options (2)
As you know, London’s restaurants are closed for dine-in service. Things are changing though. Day by day, more and more restaurants are getting into collection and/or delivery, and others are offering new specials. Even though we might not be able to go to these restaurants and eat there, we can support them (and eat something great) by ordering their food. We’ll keep updating this guide with more information as we get it, so stay tuned, and stay well.
Got a restaurant tip? Email us at [email protected].
the spots Brigadiers £ £ £ £ Indian in City ££££ 1-5 Bloomberg Arcade 8.7 /10
Usually you’d go to Brigadiers to have a little butter chicken and biriyani party but, now, Brigadiers comes to you. The decadent and delicious City restaurant is delivering its Indian barbecue all around London. All the details can be found here.
Jolene £ £ £ £ Cafe/Bakery , Brunch in Hackney , Highbury ££££ 21 Newington Green 8.2 /10
This all-day café and bakery on Newington Green is open on a collection and takeaway basis only. It's just 10am till 3pm for now, with baked goods, wine, and food to go on offer, but there's talk of dinner time pick-up service coming soon.
Lina Stores – 51 Greek Street £ £ £ £ Italian in Soho ££££ 51 Greek Street 7.4 /10
Just imagine sitting at Lina Stores counter, surrounded by pastel green and, more importantly, pasta. One day friends, one day. In the mean time, you’ll have to channel some of that Soho atmosphere into your home, via Lina Stores’ online shop. They’re delivering fresh pasta, including artichoke and truffle ravioli, as well as pizza meal kits, and loads of essentials.
Hoppers £ £ £ £ Sri Lankan in Soho ££££ 49 Frith St 8.6 /10
Hoppers has been among the very best places in town to eat delicious spicy things ever since their first spot opened in Soho. Now they have two more branches (in Marylebone and King’s Cross) and all of them are open for delivery. You should definitely get involved with their bone marrow varuval, and the black pork kari. But honestly, anything you get delivered is going to make you very happy.
