Something you wanna talk about but nobody ever asks?

Baldwin's costumes. ✨

He's got a different outfit for every appearance in the film (5), and I have to say that this one is my absolute favorite out of all of them and we do not get to see enough of it:

I just love the lace detailing on the collar and the intricate embroidery on the headband. His veil looks to be of a different material than his previous ones, too - almost shinier, although it could be the light making it appear that way. Also, this may be the lighting as well, but I really do prefer the off-white/cream/ivory hue of the fabric for this particular outfit, as opposed to the very stark white of his previous two.

My least favorite has to be his armor, though. The war mask is beautiful, and the cape gives him that "kingly" look (as well as a huge swatch of his signature color for the audience to recognize), but the rest of the outfit leaves a lot to be desired. His "helmet", if it can be called that, is entirely nonfunctional, and the rest of his garb is almost as bad. Juxtaposed to the armor of his far more historically-accurate bodyguards and it looks even worse.

Tbh, I think he would have looked better with one of his other "casual" outfits, or something quite similar to them, than what they ended up giving him. It would even have been believable, given that he was no longer capable of front-line battle at that point in his life, and it would have also been more in line with what Saladin is wearing in that same scene.

Your thoughts?

I'm going to be taking a hiatus from Tumblr. Everything that's happening in the world is far too much, and to see only the worst of it in the place I try to use a small escape. And also because of family matters (I have like five trillion family members, it's fucking crazy. Never a boring day.) Mutuals, y'all are cool, and I may have been too terrified to ask to be friends with youse lmao. I wish you all the best. Ciao ciao.

Edit:

these s1gma bois lame and annoying af what u mean by yeat and mewing bc of edits be fr

it is quite an annoying issue with these kinds of people, i don't get the need for these types to vandalize a wiki page for any reason, the most someone would get out of it is a quick laugh with their friends,

it is funny though to look back at these edits after finding them quite randomly?? but it definitely is confusing

Your thoughts on The Battle of Montgisard?

Definitely one of those "once in a century" type events, imo.

There's quite a few YouTube video analyses/documentaries (and even attempts at various video game recreations) of the battle, so I won't repeat what you can easily find elsewhere.

But, suffice it to say, I think it was the combination of just the right factors that led to Baldwin's seemingly-impossible victory. These included (but are not limited to) the young king's own leadership skills, those of his commanders, Saladin's lack of preparation... and just plain old luck.😆

There's a quote from a user manual of an old RPG I used to play that says "Overconfidence can be an epitaph". This was very nearly proven true at Montgisard. Saladin's overconfidence, I think, was probably the biggest contributor to Baldwin's win. He thought he had Baldwin hemmed in at Ascalon, didn't think that the king would break past the force he left behind (or, at the very least, not that quickly), and let his army spread out too much. That plus the environmental conditions with the mired baggage train, and it became a recipe for disaster for Saladin - and a prime opportunity for Baldwin.

If you want a good laugh, there is an absolutely hilarious discussion of it here. BUT be warned that it is the kind of humor that is riddled with foul language, so if that's not your thing, beware. XD
