And for @tenderbittersweet as well

For @uncheckedaggression who came up with the image <33333 (Anne and Henry in the background: you wake him we will KILL YOU at his staff) - a very tired Thomas Cromwell with his namesake second son (OT3 verse)

(Drawn in procreate - I traced the outline of Thomas but all the rest of the details are mine - I really use the outline because it helps me with placement and proportion right now but I drew the actual drawing)

“Six months after the death of King Henry VIII in 1547, a formal inventory of his moveable property was drawn up.” 

Some of the items are speculated to have belonged to Anne Boleyn, and some, by the symbols and initials upon them, are confirmed to have been hers. I have included a few examples and interesting quotes from the list below (written in 16th cent. language it can be hard to work out, the linked article above lists the meaning of some of these later, as does the article in the second and third bullet point):

“Item one glasse of birrall garnished with gold with the late Queen Anne’s armes…”

“Ives also mentions a cushion at Whitehall Palace embroidered with Henry’s cipher and honeysuckle, and possibly another bordered with honeysuckle, acorns and strawberry flowers although he is not clear on the significance of the strawberry flowers (Pg. 403).

In 1550 there still existed at Hampton Court Palace two ‘low chairs of cloth of gold’ embroidered with Anne’s cipher (Pg. 253).”

There was also a ‘chair of iron covered all over with needlework, all over wrought with silk and gold with the late Queen Anne’s cipher, the post and back fringed with Venice gold with four pommels of silver and gilt, with the king’s and the said Queen Anne’s arms in them, the seat covered with cloth of gold.’ (Pg. 254)

‘carpet of gold, silver, and silk needlework with roses of red and white, and Queen Anne’s ciphers with a border about the same of honeysuckles, acorns, ‘H’ and ‘A’ of like needlework, fringed at both ends with a deep fringe and at both sides with a narrow fringe of Venice gold silver and silk and lined with green damask being in length three yards and in breadth two scant [nearly]. (Ives, Pg. 253).

“Although none of the above mentioned items survive, a piece of valance embroidered by Anne does and is in the Burrell collection, Glasgow Museum.This is the second surviving depiction of Anne and Henry’s private motif. It is 5.2 m long, made of ‘white satin with appliqué motifs in black velvet and the decoration includes both the letters ‘HA’ with acorns and honeysuckle’ “

More on the honeysuckles and acorns:

“There is an account of Anne Boleyn’s expenditure for clothes in period from January to April 1536….In Henry VIII’s inventory there were at least two pairs of sleeves for women (very important part of the gown) identified as belonging to Anne:‘one of white satin embroidered over with purled gold acorns and honeysuckles tied with ten pairs of aiguilettes of gold’ and the other ‘of cloth of gold embroidered with a great trail of purled gold with honeysuckles tied with ten pairs of aiguilettes of gold’. (p. 253, Ives)”.

Honeysuckles and acorns were Henry and Anne’s private motif (Ives).

I like to think Elrond has punched Sauron in the face. Specifically during the whole Annatar period of time. I feel like Sauron definitely tried to convince Elrond to work with him. Being a part Maia through Luthien (who Sauron definitely still holds a grudge against) would be enough but he’s also one of Fingolfin’s descendants not even to get started on the Edain side of things. And then he sees him fight and the style is almost identical to that of Maedhros Feanorion. So Annatar almost definitely approached him.

And when he tries this he probably tries to probe at all Elrond’s issues. There are a lot of issues to probe at. But Elrond just gets angry. How dare this sketchy motherfucker start trying to convince me my parents didn’t care about me. That’s my emotional trauma and I’ll work through it myself thank you very much. He also knew something was up with this guy the second he met him. Every single bone in his body was telling him to slit this guy’s throat where he stood. He restrains himself purely to avoid causing an incident for Gil Galad to deal with. He settles for decking him and then walking away. He is very much done with enchanted jewellery made by sketchy people coming to elf lords in disguise. He had enough of that in the first age.

I just feel like the Council of Elrond gets way funnier if when Elrond’s doing his recap he just drops in ‘and then I broke darkness personified’s nose,’ before continuing as if he hadn’t said anything. Sauron maintains a healthy wariness of Elrond into the third age. Yes Arwen looks like Luthien and that’s scary but she also looks like a combination of her father and Galadriel and if that’s not terrifying nothing is.

For @herawell specifically - some of my headcanons re OT3 verse Henry’s past relationships with men pre Thomas.

This man does not in fact have any problem with the fact that he’s attracted to men and women. I really knew that from the first - there’s a line that Wolsey thinks in Rewrite The Stars 2.0 about how yes obviously Sodomites Are Evil Sinners but not people who love those of the same sex or both and that was really where Henry landed as soon as he realised I kind of just wanted to write him having zero angst about it like yes, the Lord is obviously fine with me here.

The scene I’m not writing is actually Henry’s threesome with two sex workers who later on are like ‘…WAIT WAS THAT HIS MAJESTY AND WAS HE INTO SLEEPING WITH HIS QUEEN AND HIS LORD CHANCELLOR AND WATCHING THEM…taking that one to our grave because No One Will Believe It But Holy Shit’ (Henry is like I Am Not Acknowledging My Desires At This Stage which makes it awkward as fuck also this was when he was with Jane. I think. It would contain a realistic depiction of 16th century sex work but I cannot actually write it because Trauma Brain but the headcanon is there).

Henry and Will Compton were friends who had sex with each.

People actually did not know, mostly because Henry was also really into women/he was actually faithful to Catherine for like, at least a while/it just seemed implausible to people

No really he and Will just kind of slept together as friends it was cool.

Whatever The Fuck Charles Had No Idea Thing was going on there as well (I actually don’t tend to see OT3 verse Henry as being into Charles and Charles has absolutely no conscious idea he’s into Henry but yeah, that dynamic).

His male lovers tend to be honestly, he has some as a younger man very much in the vibe of ‘goes to masked orgy’ because uh, yeah. So no one really clocks it - like sure this man enjoys sex (I’m drawing from TV Henry a bit/a lot here) but no one thinks he also enjoys it with men.

I’d say the encounter(s) in 1534-6 are just…It’s Not Great At All.

#ot3: political power trio #henry really just could not contain his delight (it is actually really hard for him to not openly dote on thomas :/) #(like he is so openly affectionate with Anne and he just he Yearns to do the same with Thomas it breaks his heart)

I love it when Elrond is portrayed as someone who is a little bit incomprehensible to most of the elves at first. Not even just because he's a half-elf, but because he reminds them all of so many other people, and that layering can be kind of jarring.

He sings beautifully, with a voice that sounds like no elf or man, and it reminds many of the Sindar of Luthien. It reminds some of the Noldor of someone else, another singer with raven-dark hair and starry gray eyes.

The braids he does his hair in– and he always keeps it braided at first, because letting it run loose is another thing that makes people whisper of Luthien– are in the traditional Noldor style. The survivors of Gondolin love that; Turgon always wore his hair in classical styles too. The other part of the House of Finwe that clung to traditional braids goes unmentioned. But everyone knows.

And he was clearly taught about court manners; taught to be gracious and charming, and a very good listener. The elf who could have taught Elrond those things is usually skipped over entirely, in favor of those reminiscing about Idril's graceful poise or Melian's endless patience.

He looks very much like Luthien, but there is a particular Finwean sharpness in his facial structure; something that makes him look a lot like Fingolfin, as well. Fingolfin looked very much like his father. And his older brother.

His smile is just like Earendil's (whose smile is just like Tuor's), and his strange, birdlike laugh is from Elwing. He fights and writes with his left hand– but then, so did Earendil, because while all elves are right-handed, not all humans or half-elves are. He eats no meat– just like Beren, they say, but the way Elrond tells it the choice had nothing to do with that history. There is ainuric power in him and something very human in the set of his shoulders. The flowers grow around any place he stays long enough. He gets sick in a way no elf, and certainly no maia, ever would. His accent is odd, and archaic, and changes noticeably when he's too tired to obscure it. His mannerisms are a mixture of about twelve people, almost all of whom are dead, and several of whom are not spoken of by the time he shows up in Gil-Galad's camp.

And the reflections of Elrond unsettle a lot of people; because one moment they see a fallen hero or loved one, and the next they see the person that took them. Or perhaps someone else, that they never knew at all. There is reverence and fear and uncertainty. It's messy.

Elrond himself is coming to peace with this by the War of Wrath. There is love in carrying the parts of your ancestors with you, even when they aren't around any more. And he knows better than anyone that he is always himself, first and foremost. Still, it takes everyone else a while to stop seeing a ghost and start seeing Elrond.
