why were the Wittebane statues depict them as adults when the paintings show Philip as child and Caleb likely a teenager or young adult when he left? Was it a continuity error? or was it intentional to show the Wittebane lore was lost to time?

I believe it was intentionally done to demonstrate the way that Gravesfield has glorified and exaggerated the story if the Wittebane brothers. They depicted Evelyn as the “classic” witch, set the story before the town was even founded, and aged them up.

Part of it is likely to soothe people’s minds. Imagine a young child at about a preteen age running away from town in search of his brother and never coming back. It implies a lot of bad things could have happened to him, especially considering that children are more likely to get lost, hurt, or sick. None of that paints a pretty—or entertaining—picture of the Tale of the Brothers Wittebane, so they likely altered that to romanticize it the way Pocahontas’ story was.

Floral Embroidery

Natural forms and brilliant colors of silk thread radiate in this embroidery, a strong contrast with the nearby English work. The refined floral sprays are offset in successive rows and repeated every sixth row. Flies, moths, and other insects are scattered among them, and a seated squirrel eats a hazelnut. The profusion of flowers and plants, such as thistles, hazelnuts, and foxgloves, were probably copied from pattern books that were increasingly available to embroiderers (early 1600s)

Bread man made me wonder: Do you have any Saint Bernard characters? His coloration almost made me think of one, but I'm guessing he's not. They're my fave, so I'm personally curious!

The bread man is supposed to be vaguely st. bernardesque! His face was darker initially, but it didn't really jibe with the color palette and composition so I kept lightening it :'> In the end he turned out looking almost like a maremmano-abruzzese sheepdog or great pyrenees.

Saint Bernards were originally bred by monks in the Great St Bernard Hospice, situated in the Alps right at the border between Switzerland and Italy. So they would fit into the Vaschete/monastery setting pretty well I think.

#answered #ghostcurse #potentially the most monkish of all dogs #the early st bernards had smaller and lighter build and shorter fur than the modern counterpart #earliest records of them are from late 1600's which is some 100 years after their central timeframe so it wouldn't be 100% accurate #but large shepherd/molosser/livestock guardian dogs like this have been around for millenia

So I really loved @sky-of-starflowers fic meetings-that-weren’t where Hob meets up with Dream in different forms in between the 100 year visits and had to draw all the different forms. It’s an incredibly well written story with a lot of depth to it, definitely give it a read!

(I know I said it would be a couple of days but I couldn't help it I stayed up and did it all in one go 😅)

Was there a certain scene/episode that made you start liking Belos or was it more of a gradual thing?

I'd say a gradual thing, but from when we first heard that his diary was from the 1600s I got more into toh in general. <- enjoyer of history moment

#'this character was alive 400 years ago' haha you are So funny. Can i be there too #[.asks] #anonymous #to be fair I also guessed pretty early that Philip was Belos. It just seemed obvious #ill be honest toh without the 1600s man villain plot did not interest me much #I dont care for teenage witches but I do care for awful brothers and centuries long plots

i think my main issue with writing fiction is truthfully i have an analysis essay brain and don't know how to say things in a manner that isn't insanely clinical but in my defense it also takes a strong heart to explain the whole bertilak+lady bertilak/gawain situation in academia-acceptable terminology. or it was a struggle for me

#this semester. i haven't chosen a topic yet. haven't read all the books yet #last semester i. well i did not start as early as i should have but i had a topic by this point just bc #i already knew macbeth. idk any of these books #im thinking of writing on male homoeroticism from a historical perspective on like. how it was fine and normal #but that's only gilgamesh so far. lysistrata and tartuffe didn't have that #tartuffe has it but it's a negative implication. so i might need to choose another topic bc we're getting into 1900s and later books now i #think. but it would probably do me good to step out of the gender and sexuality analysis and do something Different For Once #difference is a very old and serious work vs 1600s comedy ft. a couple throwaway lines on how two men should marry

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots) #Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay” #because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete
