The Stratford Festival’s YouTube channel doesn’t have the full trailer yet for this season’s Richard II, so until then I give you the teaser trailer.

And a few images.

Richard and Aumerle are kissing again. Except now they appear to be naked. In a hot tub.

We’ve gone way beyond this now:

I think we're not talking enough about how one of Edward of York's 1,001 Good Names For Good Dogges is "Gaylarde."

Piggy backing off my previous post, Aumerle watching Hal investigate Richard's murder, fearing what will happen when Hal realises Aumerle is the killer

#Edward Duke of York #Aumerle #I am so attached to Hal and Edward's relationship based on so little evidence #One speech to parliament and a book dedication and boom Edward's one of Hal's dads now #so I know that in Shakespeare Hal isn't around but to combine fiction and history it would be so effective and so painful #especially because Hal can never be safe as long as Richard lives

DAVID TENNANT AS RICHARD II FOR THE RSC (2013)

no matter where, of comfort no man speak. let’s talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs, make dust our paper and with rainy eyes write sorrow on the bosom of the earth. let’s choose executors and talk of wills; and yet not so, for what can we bequeath save our deposed bodies to the ground? our lands, our lives and all are bolingbroke's, and nothing can we call our own but death and that small model of the barren earth which serves as paste and cover to our bones. for god’s sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings; how some have been deposed, some slain in war, some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed, some poison'd by their wives, some sleeping kill'd; all murder'd. for within the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples of a king keeps death his court, and there the antic sits, scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp; allowing him a breath, a little scene, to monarchise, be fear'd and kill with looks, infusing him with self and vain conceit as if this flesh which walls about our life were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus, comes at the last and with a little pin bores through his castle wall, and farewell king! cover your heads, and mock not flesh and blood with solemn reverence; throw away respect, tradition, form and ceremonious duty, for you have but mistook me all this while. i live with bread like you, feel want, taste grief, need friends; subjected thus, how can you say to me, i am a king?

Act 4 scene 1

Aumerle: *throws down a gage (aka gauntlet aka fight-me glove)*

Fitzwater: *throws down another one*

Aumerle: *takes that gage*

Percy: *throws down his own gage*

Aumerle: *takes Percy's gage*

Some other dude: *throws down their gage*

Aumerle: *takes that one too*

Surrey: *throws down his gage*

Aumerle, filled with rage and juggling three gages already: GIMME ANOTHER I DARE YOU

8 and 15 for the fic writing ask? 👀

8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

I have so many possible answers to this question, one of which I shared here. There's a lot of stuff that is #problematic where the fear of being judged holds me back (that and my already massive WIP list). There's one recurring idea I've got that's like, Richard Courtenay gets the medieval equivalent of summer job as a clerk in Richard II's court in between terms at Oxford and it's a bit like Andrew Holleran's Dancer from the Dance. Young, idealistic gay comes to a big city where homosexuality is more accepted, loses their head with all the partying and sex, and ends up wondering if this all there is, if there's any hope of love for him (and occasionally seeing Richard and Edward and being like "well they're in love so it must be possible"). There'd also be some less-than-ideal sex, Courtenay turning up hungover to do some clerking, Courtenay listening to Thomas Hoccleve moaning about his poor aching back and how he has no money, and seeing the seeds of Richard II's deposition playing in the background. The reason I'm not writing it? a) it'd be really long and require a lot of investment, b) there'd be a fair bit of #problematic content, c) who tf besides me would read a massive fic about some obscure historical figure getting dicked down while Richard II gets deposed in the background? and mostly importantly, d)

(i.e. too many characters named Richard playing important roles)

15. Do you foresee any personal or professional obstacles this year, that would keep you from creating fanworks? 

Oh, probably. Come winter, I'll probably get sick or someone in my family will get sick and I'll not have much time or energy to write fic. Organising the Histories Ficathon is a massive drain on my spare time, energy and braincells so that's going to affect my writing time. The thing that worries me is another Loki Trash Era or equivalent, where I'm just so focused on something I don't even want to create fanworks for (because there's so many great ones that already exist) that I just... can't do any fanworks for things I would otherwise be making fanworks for.

#though honestly i got at least one comment on the aumerle/courtenay pwp that was like #'i saw this and thought who tf was writing epically long pwp about some obscure history dudes so i read it and got invested so good job?' #so maybe more people than me would read the fic about courtenay getting dicked down #text posts #asks #ardenrosegarden #fic talk #sorry it took so long to do #i am open to answering more of these! #anon is on if you're shy :)

Just letting you know that every time I see pictures of St. Sebastian I can't stop thinking about your post about him and Merlin

it changed my mind a lot ig

oh that's nice to hear, I feared I was being annoying adding stuff to your post!!

that was a great piece, thank you for sharing! guys it's THIS ONE in case you want to give it a like or idk, reblog it even

st sebastian clearly just an excuse to paint a semi-naked man suffering in the most sadistically erotic way possible. you gotta give it to the catholics, they were clever.

btw. if you wanna think about this some more:

(here)

ALSO, this has nothing to do with anything but you've reminded me about BBC Richard II going all in with the homoeroticism of the Saint Sebastian imagery and I feel the need to share some screencaps (Ben Wishaw looked so handsome in this it genuinely makes me want to weep):

#everything is about shakespeare. or rather shakespeare is about everything #this is from the hollow crown series (ep 1) #where the homoerotic subtext was clearly text (he was gay for aumerle) #the other eps were alright I guess but ep 1 (richard ii) was A MASTERPIECE #i think everyone should be forced to watch it #tied to a chair if needed. you WILL like it. #that is both a promise and a threat. #anyway sorry to digress #*not merlin #asks

Me: you know, I was just telling someone that back when I was writing the Stabby Aumerle fic (years ago) my depiction of Exton was basically just channeling Arthur Darvill's Mephistopheles, but I wonder if it was really as obvious as I remember?

The Stabby Aumerle fic:

The man who comes to see him is almost aggressively nondescript; he looks like someone you might find in the customs house, or a bishop's clerk, sober and plainly dressed with mousy hair and a forked beard -- not someone likely to be sent to arrest someone on suspicion of high treason (or, for that matter, anything else).

Me: ...yeah okay, that checks out.

#fic babble #the stabby aumerle fic #darvill didn't have a forked beard but he'd have rocked one

Y’all need to learn what a twink is.

#I have seen Raphael BG3 and RSC aumerle called twinks this week #please

[ithacanradio]

oh to be the last man standing at the king's side as his nobles have sworn to overthrow him for the small matter of bankrupting the kingdom and so he talks about you two getting matching graves to cheer you up then french kisses you on the castles banister but one scene later you're seeing him deposed and your own father is asking the new king to kill you for treason so you have to choose quickly whether to follow your deposed king's steps in the harrowing descent or knife him from behind like judas iscariot except you immediately regret it because he sees your face and dies in your arms but still you drag his body back as your pass to live

#finished watching the royal shakes company recorded play. banger. obsessed with aumerle #the actor who played him made the choice to play this bitch CRAZY crazy and he kept going from crying to laughing #i had to google if he had done the murder on purpose or nah. nice acting choice overall. #and thank you phone for suggesting judas escargot
