Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman to Lead 'War of the Roses' Remake

"The Roses’ is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story,” said Searchlight president Matthew Greenfield announcing the project. “With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life.”

So Matthew Greenfield at Searchlight is dirty...BEYOND dirty. No comment on Olivia Colman as of yet, but we all know now that actors and actresses usually have NO SAY I'm the projects they're currently put in. This film should not be made. It's another horrible, cruel joke to play on the fans of Benedict Cumberbatch and the people pushing it are on the same level as that jackal Jay Z and the NFL This is pure, sick, Freemason, ancient bullshit. Also, how is it this project is STILL in development, when it's BEEN in development since 2017?

And Benedict, if you go along with this project, it will be revealed to the public that you are going along with your own public humiliation, in order to enrich human traffickers.

Was Clarence really not enough for you?

Or Eric?

How about pissing on yourself in Louis Wain?

AND HEY, DISNEY...BIG FUCKING MISTAKE!

I loved the audiobooks so much, I acquired trophies. 🎧📚🌈

Or vice versa in the case of The Last Sun (and series), and A Strange and Stubborn Endurance. I borrowed A Strange and Stubborn Endurance from the library, loved it, then listened on audiobook and later acquired a hard copy. I bought The Last Sun and series, and later listened to the audiobooks at least five times each.

Yes, really.

There's a method to my madness, I swear. In case you haven't noticed, I'm big on rereading, and relistening. I love to annotate, and I love the emotion that narrators put into the stories I love. It's a hand in hand experience for me. I've recently listened to Silver Under Nightfall and The Scottish Boy, so the next time I experience them will be in pages and pencil.

The second slide are audiobooks that I love, but haven't collected the print editions yet.

31st March 1652 saw the Honours of Scotland saved from Cromwell's forces at Dunnottar Castle.

In 1651, during Cromwell’s occupation of Scotland after his victory at Dunbar in 1650, our crown jewels The Honours of Scotland were spirited from there and used at the coronation at Scone of Charles II as King of Scots. From there they were taken for safekeeping to Dunnottar Castle. It was on March 31st when Cromwell’s troops laid siege to the castle this story happened.

The Honours of Scotland were made up of the crown, the sceptre, and the sword of state. The gold crown, decorated with gems and pearls, was made from Scottish gold, and the sceptre was a gift from Pope Alexander VI to James IV, while the sword was also a papal gift to James IV, presented by Pope Julius II. The regalia were used for the coronation of Scottish monarchs from Mary Queen of Scots in 1543 until Charles II in 1651.

The story began in 1651, following the crowning of Charles II at Scone, in Perthshire. 38 kings of Scots had been inaugurated and crowned at Scone, on top of Moot Hill, but Charles II was to be the last. Oliver Cromwell’s army by this time were marching through the Lothians, near Edinburgh, and were intent on capturing the crown jewels and destroying them, just as they had done to the English crown jewels.

The Honours and some Royal papers were brought to Dunnottar Castle for safe keeping by Katherine Drummond, hidden in sacks of wool. Sir George Ogilvie of Barras was appointed lieutenant-governor of the castle, and given responsibility for its defence. By November 1651, they were being besieged by Cromwell’s army and it was obvious to the small garrison that the castle would be captured sooner or later.

Elizabeth Douglas, wife of Sir George Ogilvie, and Christian Fletcher, wife of James Granger, minister of Kinneff Parish Church hatched a plan that saved the royal regalia. Firstly, the king's papers were removed from the castle by Anne Lindsay, a kinswoman of Elizabeth Douglas, who walked through the besieging force with the papers sewn into her clothes. Then over the course of three visits to the castle, Christian Fletcher carried away the crown, sceptre, sword and sword-case hidden amongst sacks of goods. Fletcher and her husband then buried them under the floor of Kinneff Parish Church.

For eight years the Honours were kept at the church in secret, with Cromwell scouring the country and believing the rumours that the jewels may have been smuggled abroad. Once every three months the Regalia were dug up at night to be aired before a fire and preserved from damp and injury. Wrapped in fresh cloths, they were buried again.

At last, during the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, the honours were removed from Kinneff Church and returned to the king. Christian Fletcher was awarded 2,000 merks by Parliament as a reward for saving the Honours. Parliament noted that the award was “because she was most active in conveying the royal honours…out of the castle…and that by her care the same was hid and preserved.” However, the sum was never paid!

Old Southern Galarian words for the first 11 Galarian Pokemon

This is explained in my kid's, @quillpokebiology , Geography" post, but Galarian has multiple dialects/languages. The Galarian I'm speaking is Hammerlock Galarian, but I grew up in a place that spoke Southern Galarian (specifically from the Crown Tundra). So, here are words for some of the pokemon there.

1. Suanáilte: Sobble

Pronounced "Su-ahn-alt-eh." From the words "Suaracha" meaning insignificant/paltry, and "conáilte" meaning blue.

2. Drúana: Drizzile

Pronounced "Ndrú-ah-nah." From the words "driùchd" meaning "Drizzle" or Dew" and "Gruama" meaning "Sad/depressed/gloomy"

3. Scaoilaghairt: Inteleon

Pronounced "Skeel-leerch." Combination of the words Scaoil, which means shoot and [to] fire, while Laghairt means lizard.

4. Sgôrnín: Scorbunny

Pronounced "Goor-neen." It still translates to Scorbunny, but I'll talk about it anyway. Sgôr is actually Lean (referring to Ballonlean), meaning Score, as sgór in southern Galarian means mountain peak/steep hill/pinnacle, etc. Coinín means bunny.

5. Bunineanach: Scorbunny

Pronounced "Bun-ye-nah." "Bun" means foot while "coineanach" means rabbit.

6. Ciceáluith: Cinderace

Pronounced "Kick-eel-lew-ah." It's a combination of the words ciceál, which means [to] kick, while luith means cinder.

7. Cipínaí: Grookey

Pronounced "Kip-een-ee". Uses the word cipín, which means small stick, [music] stick, and the stick that the bodhrán instrument is played with. The "nai" comes from "moncaí" which just means monkey.

8. Batanaí: Thwackey

Pronounced "Bah-teh-nee." Bata I'd another word for sticking, while the naí still comes from moncaí. (It also sounds a bit like Botany, which is the study of plants. I find that coincidence interesting).

9. Bodhráfear: Rillaboom

Pronounced "Bar-ah-far." Bodhrá comes from Bodhrán, which is an instrument that originates from Southern Galar. Fear just means man.

10. Leicag: Skwovet

Pronounced "Leh-cak." Combination of the words "leicean," meaning cheek, and "feòrag," meaning squirrel.

11. Sanntaille: Greedent

Pronounced "Sh-aunt-all-ah," (pronounce "Sh" with back of throat). Combination of the word Santach, meaning covetous, and saille, meaning fat (Kalosians might recognize that one one).

#//inspired by how in legends arceus onr dude refered to Vulpix as “Keokeo” #Keokeo is Hawaiin and means “spotless white” #//ive already had the idea of different regions having different languages #//but my ass was bouncing up and down with the excitement and potential of pokemon having edited/fictional languages #//even if itd be really similar to real world equivalent languages #anyways these all came from irish and scottish gaelic #//still learning languages irl so sorry if some of the things i made are mixed up or incorrect! #pokemon #galar Geography #pokeblogging #pokeblog #rotomblr #pokeblog rp #rotumblr #irl pokemon #pokemon history #runa talks #pokemon irl #southern galarian #the crown tundra #crown tundra

Castle intrigue

Tickets in hand, we breached the famous Edinburgh Castle Friday; there it is, rising from Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age (1200-550).

It has everything one could want in a castle - cannons, suits of armor, nooks and crannies galore, the oldest Crown Jewels in Britain ...

Speaking of which ... I got to chatting - gossiping, actually - with one of the castle guards about Rod Stewart, the British singer and songwriter, who was in Edinburgh recently to perform at the city's annual Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo festival .

"He's such a diva," said the guard, like a man eager to get something off his chest. Oh really ...? Do tell.

Stewart, it seems, was demanding in all kinds of ways while touring the castle. Most notably, he insisted on taking a photo of the Scottish Crown Jewels, which, for security reasons, is strictly prohibited.

When Stewart was told the jewels were off-limits for photos, he allegedly said, "But I'm Rod Stewart." The person in charge, according to the guard, told Steward, "I don't care if you're the king."

Stewart didn't get his photo.

WELL at least this time I found out a thing was Scotland-specific before I used it in a fic and confused everyone else.

#sorry Sif you shall not be getting “the Crown Matrimonial” after all :( #I used “outwith” in a Star Trek fic circa 2004 and that's how I found out it's not a word in standard English. BUT IT SHOULD BE! #how can you NOT have outwith?! #scottish stuff

St. Giles, High Street, Edinburgh. 1904.

A rare picture of the clock on St Giles "Cathedral2 on The Royal Mile.

The first clock on the spire was installed 1552 but had fallen into disrepair. In 1585 it was replaced by one which came from the Abbey Church of Lindores in Fife at the cost £55. It had two faces with ‘twa hands’. It was built to strike the hours, relieving the bellman of that duty. The clock was set from the time shown on a sundial erected on the south wall of the Church

In 1721 the clock mechanism was replaced by one from a London firm of clockmakers, much to the annoyance of the Edinburgh clockmakers. This clock was repaired and the minute hand inserted in 1797 by the Edinburgh Clockmaker Thomas Reid.

In 1912, the firm of James Ritchie and son, installed a non-dial chiming clock which functions to this day. This clock has no faces for it was felt that the faces destroyed the appearance of the steeple. The hours and quarters are struck on the three bells still in the steeple – the great bell, originally cast in 1460 strikes the hours, and two small bells dating from 1706 and 1728 strike the quarters. The old clock was given to the Museum of Edinburgh, where its mechanism can still be seen.

The Gatehouse - Ardverikie House by FotoFling Scotland Via Flickr: Ardverikie House is a 19th-century Scottish baronial house in Kinloch Laggan, Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, Scottish Highlands. The house was made famous as the fictional Glenbogle estate in the BBC series Monarch of the Glen. The lands historically belonged to Clan Macpherson. The 20th chief, Ewen Macpherson, leased Benalder and Ardverikie in 1844 to The 2nd Marquess of Abercorn, an Ulster-Scots peer, "one of the trend setters in the emerging interest in deer stalking in Scotland." The Marquess expanded the original shooting lodge. He served as Groom of the Stool to Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, who along with the prince spent three weeks at Ardverikie in the late summer of 1847. In 1860, Lord Abercorn transferred the lease to Lord Henry Bentinck, another stalking enthusiast, who lived there until his death in 1870. Sir John Ramsden purchased the Ardverikie and Benalder forests in 1871 for £107,500 (equivalent to £10,083,219 in 2019). In 1873, the house was destroyed by fire, and was rebuilt from 1874 to 1878. It was rebuilt in the popular style of Scottish baronial architecture, designed by the architect John Rhind. Ramsden's son, Sir John Frecheville Ramsden, inherited the lands after his father's death in 1914. The majority of the land was sold off following the two World Wars, and in 1956 Sir John transferred the Ardverikie Estate to a family company under the chairmanship of his son, Sir William Pennington-Ramsden. The company, Ardverikie Estate Limited, still owns and manages the estate today. The estate does business renting cottages and letting the property for weddings. Filming location Ardverikie House and its estate have been used as a location for filming. It is most recognisable as the Glenbogle Estate in the BBC series Monarch of the Glen, that ran for seven series from 2000 to 2005. It was also used in Miss Marple: A Murder is Announced (1985), the films Mrs Brown (1997), Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011), and Outlaw King (2018). The estate has been featured in the series Outlander, and in the first, second, & fourth seasons of the Netflix drama The Crown, standing in for the Balmoral Estate. During summer 2019, filming of No Time to Die was taking place in the town of Aviemore and the surrounding Cairngorms National Park with some scenes shot at the Ardverikie Estate. In October 2020 filming for the The Grand Tour special "Lochdown" took place at Ardverikie House, with presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May staying the night on the estate.
