It is difficult to believe, but it has been more than 3 years since the release of my Mini Kingdom 👑 book. It was such an amazing experience for me! 😍 I still receive a lot of requests for a new book, and I would really be happy to make it, but as of now, I’m only able to work on short-term crochet projects such as patterns. Most likely, it won’t happen this or even next year 😔 but I still don’t give up hope that everything can change any day for us, the people of Ukraine, so we can plan our lives just a little longer than 1 month into the future!

Crochet patterns for all these amigurumi toys are available here -> https://etsy.me/3rpRNMp 💛💙

there’s something about the way that each of the stories in the tales of dunk and egg series start with death. dunk digging the grave for ser arlan, the two men in the crow cage, the traitor’s head impaled on the gates… i don’t know what that something is but it is Something

Extremely funny bit of Dark Knights of Steel I have not seen anyone mention is that by the timeline we are given, Bruce has to be 17 at the oldest for everything??

Dark Knights of Steel #12

Makes his relationship with the Robins even funnier, that is not Bruce and his gang of children, that is just a gang of children, full stop.

#in tales from the three kingdoms he supposedly meets the robins 5 years ago so it's clear no one was thinking about this #(bruce would be 12) #which tbh is not unexpected from a comic that couldnt keep supergirl's name straight (zara or zala??) & called deadshot wade #(ig they mixed him up with deathstroke and mixed *him* up with deadpool but come on guys) #(ironically there's a different story where he's *almost* 12 and it is funny to imagine they take place within a year of each other) #dark knights of steel #batman #bruce wayne #dc comics #mae reads comics

[medievalandfantasymelee]

COME ONE, COME ALL to the MOSTE ILLUSTRIOUS TOURNAMENT of the FINEST, the MOSTE PUISSANT and HOTTEST MEN MEDIEVAL MEDIA HAS TO ITS CREDIT.

Be it known that we shall accept submissions of the hottest men OF THE PEOPLES’ CHOOSING from any live-action* TV or movie media property set between the years AD 500 – 1550 (Tudors WELCOME!!), and any fantasy properties which emulate said period!

KNOW ALSO that we, by the grace of this fine hellsite and with the counsel of the moste honorable and illustrious @hotvintagepoll (many thanks), have made

THESE GUIDELINES here given:

ANY HOT GUY who appears in any movie or TV show released in ANY YEAR, from ANY COUNTRY, shall be deemed eligible for entry. Below are listed examples of eligible properties. If YE BE NOT CERTAIN whether your hot guy is eligible, submit him anyway!

Examples of Eligible Properties: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-03), Game of Thrones (2011-19) House of the Dragon (2022), Wolf Hall (2015-2024), The Tudors (2007-2010), Ladyhawke (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), The White Queen (2013), Rise of Empires: Ottoman (2020-2022), Vikings (2013-2020), The Last Kingdom (2015-2022), Diriliş: Ertuğrul (2014), A Knight’s Tale (2001), BBC’s Robin Hood (2006-3009), The Last Duel (2021), The Story of Minglan (2018), The Borgias (2013), Robin Hood (1939), Outlaw King (2018), Pilgrimage (2017), Legend (1985), Braveheart (1995), The Green Knight (2021), Excalibur (1981), Beowulf & Grendel (2005), The Lion in Winter (1968), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), The Black Adder (Blackadder Series 1, 1982), Rashomon (1950)

Remember: This is just a list of examples—WOW ME!

These following titles are examples of properties that do not fall within or emulate the stated time period and therefore DO NOT QUALIFY: The Three Musketeers (Any Version), Pirates of the Caribbean (2004), Barbarians (2020), Gladiator (2000), Ben Hur (1959), Shogun (2024), Elizabeth (1999), 300 (2006), Troy (2004), Xena: Warrior Princess (1995-2001), Disney's Robin Hood (1973)**, Yojimbo (1961), Shakespeare in Love (1998), King Arthur (2004)***

For the purposes of this tournament, "Man" and "Guy" are defined as any bi-pedal humanoid male character played by a man. As such, characters belonging to non-human races such as Hobbits, Orcs, Elves, Demons, Fauns, Werewolves etc. ARE admissible, and, indeed, encouraged.

If you have propaganda you forgot to include in your submission, just hold onto it and send it in an ask after the Tournament begins.

You may submit as many hot men as you like but please submit only ONE ENTRANT per submission.

Do not hesitate to submit ANY hot guy you think may qualify, no matter how popular he is. There is no such thing as a shoo-in with these tournaments. If you think "Someone MUST have submitted him already!" Everyone else is probably thinking that too and then he may well NEVER get submitted and we don't want that.

Do not worry about how many submissions your hot guy might have had already--I need to get a sense of who the strongest contenders are in order to fairly seed the draws, and the best way to do that is volume of submissions.

We are voting on the hotness of the characters. While the actors who portray them are of course a major factor in this, we are not voting on the actors themselves, therefore propaganda pertaining to the actors real lives (aside from anecdotes relating to their portrayal of the character) is not admissible.

By that same token, in the case of historical figures (e.g. Henry VIII) we are judging hotness based on the fictionalized portrayals of them in these properties, not on historical fact.

Regarding immortal/time-travelling/dimension-hopping/extremely long-lived characters, regardless of when the character was born, the main action**** of the story must take place within the Medieval Period (see dates listed at the top of this post) or Medieval-esque fantasy fantasy realm in order for them to be eligible for submission. As such, characters like the Pevensie brothers (The Chronicles of Narnia) and Ash Williams (Army of Darkness) are admissible, but Asgardians (the MCU Thor films) are not.

I, as the Administrator and Master of Revels of this tournament, am exercising discretion in the admittance of characters from works by Shakespeare, since many of them have no set date.

SUBMISSIONS SHALL REMAIN OPEN FOR ONE MONTH FROM THIS DATE (27 May, 2024)

The Tourney shall begin at a date yet to be determined with the Melee (Qualifying Rounds), wherein the entrants with the fewest submissions and least propaganda will duke it out in a free for all brawl to determine who will enter the Lists.

SUBMIT YOUR ENTRANTS HERE TODAY!!!

-- Master of Revels

*The "live-action" qualification does have a caveat: exception may be made for those CGI films which were all the rage in the mid-00's that used the motion-capture and likeness of the actors; for example characters from, Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf (2007) are admissible.

** this one doesn't qualify, not because it isn't the right time period, but because it falls solidly under the "Animated" category.

***Yes, sadly we are deprived of the beautiful countenances of Clive Owen, Mads Mikkelsen, Ioan Gruffudd et al because the producers of this film in their infinite wisdom and in an attempt to seem "more historically accurate" chose to set it during the Roman withdrawal from Britain, which occurred in the 5th Century (About a CENTURY earlier than Authurian tradition) and is generally agreed to have ended by AD 410. It therefore does not fall under the Medieval umbrella and is not eligible for submission.

**** "Main Action" here defined as "More than half an hour of a movie and more than two episodes of a series"

[greenbloods]

thinking about glendon ball tonight. knight of the pussywillows born in a brothel heir to treason and heroism. sold his own sister for a knighthood you are no true knight ser. you are half a boy and you are thirsty for honor thirsty for glory thirsty to prove yourself. to be as brave as your father who is not your father. they tortured the blood out of you you but they never got your honor. what kind of honorable knight sells his sisters maidenhead? hero's blood or whore's blood it makes no matter. your blood does not matter. some will hate you no matter what you do. but others...they can still be kind. you will never be your father. you never even knew your father. you are the mystery knight but the only one who doesn't know the answer to the mystery is you. your father is not your father. in the stories all the knights are brave and honorable and their steel is true. you could still have it in you to be brave, right? you could be brave

#knighthood #the way grrm writes knights is my favorite part of the stories #and i could chew on glendon-dunk parallels for an hour #honestly looking forward to the knight of the seven kingdoms show more and more #tales of dunk and egg #d&e #the mystery knight #glendon ball #glendon flowers #glendon of the pussywillows #my posts

DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL TALES FROM THE THREE KINGDOMS no.1 (one shot) • cover art • Neil Googe [Sept 2022]

The El Kingdom has been ruled with integrity and honesty for generations, by familes from the Waynes to the Els. The future of the kingdom lies with its three heirs and the challenges they will face…but what really prepared them for their tumultuous future? What stories defined Bruce, Zala, and Kal-El?
