#good fucking lord this took forever #the file was such a megachonker that the app crashed every time i tried to export the png #i taught myself how to render metal for this #never doing this shit again (lies) #anyway i do have many thoughts about this au but this isn’t really the best place to talk about them #but just know that they’re supposed to be a bit older here than in canon and this is like post-rd by a few years #though i guess in this version radiant dawn was a lot different because soren was always heir to the throne and took over #as soon as assnards was defeated #ok now for the actual tags #fire emblem #fe10 #tellius #ike #soren fire emblem #ikesoren #shroudraws #king soren au

fic where you are the heir to the throne and argenti is your personal knight who can be a little... melodramatic at times, but you know he means well when he takes meticulous care in your appearance when you are to speak before your people or about to attend a ball ("everyone must be dazzled by your beauty, your highness!" ...is what he always responds with whenever you ask why he insists on doing it himself when there are maids for that very purpose), as well as his habit of presenting you a bouquet of roses he lovingly named after himself, always managing to replenish your batch just before they wither away ("there is nothing which match my beauty as these argenti roses do, and you deserve only the most loveliest and most beautiful of experiences, your highness!" ...is what he parades with an almost comical sparkle), or even during the times in which he is to escort you, only to dramatize your entrance with an embarrassing flair as he makes your presence known to those present and possibly the neighbouring kingdoms, too ("but everyone must behold your beauty and grace, your highness!" ...is what he preaches when you sputter and fluster at his theatrics, his genuine expression rendering you unable to refute him each and every time).

despite all this, he is a knight nonetheless. you're reminded of this each time an assassin clambers through your window in the dead of night, only to be rendered immobile when argenti takes care of them without a second thought and makes no haste in checking up on you (whenever such incidents occur, it is always you who has to calm him down, holding his hands and reassuring him you are safe all thanks to him), or in the moments where you watch him train, in awe of his battle prowess and find yourself lost in his broad strokes and effortless stance perfected over the years (he likes to flex and show off when catching your stare, though you find it amusing how quickly he flusters when you don't avert your gaze. he's rather cute in this sense).

while some of his antics may be a bit over the top, he is your chivalrous knight nonetheless — and you wouldn't have it any other way.

(though you would never tell him that, for you would never hear the end of it...)

#sophie talks : concepts <3 #the idea of devoted yet dramatic knight!argenti x fed up yet secretly enjoys the attention heir!reader does things to me and i could write #a whole fic abt it. or a series. cries. #just royalty aus .... as usual.................. #but also #after seeing the fact he now has a flower named after him bc hyv bought naming rights for a newly cultivated rose variety i havent been oka #and the fact the meaning is “may the spirit of beauty always accompany you” #LIKE????? BITES FIST

Okay one of my favorite things about dark heir is the way it gave me a story where the main character has a dark secret and in some ways things would be simpler if he just told his friends but, alas, he does not trust his friends, he thinks if he tells them, that they will turn on him … BUT HES RIGHT

This is a trope in a hundred thousand stories and I almost always hate it because miscommunication as a plot complication is frustrating and boring to me usually

But here???? HERE???? The whole time I was like, you know what Will, you are correct do not tell your friends yet actually. And you know it’s gonna come out eventually but the timing has gotta be just right. Have to wait long enough that they know you better and trust you and will stop themselves from just killing you immediately

But wait too long and Uh Oh you have been Lying To Your Friends For Months and now they trust you Less, for this has added to your sins

And then it comes out and Will was right they all turn on him 😭

Well. Almost.

#dark heir #dark heir spoilers #I’m still holding out hope for Violet #she is confused and upset right now and that is FAIR #and there was that line about how later she remembered that Will was the only one talking about the dark army #and James of course but that’s its own complicated variable #god this series has me writing original meta posts again I don’t think I’ve done that in years

Au where Kamski is a merman too.

AU where everyone’s a merperson!!!!

(Kamski still has a weird, creepy fascination with Connor, unfortunately for him)

#kamcon #hankcon #lab merman au #dbh #detroit become human #dbh kamski #dbh connor #dbh hank #glass art #noodle art #noodle talk #I’ll be honest drawing this was kinda sexci #not sure what kinda fish kamski is…I modelled him after #a red lionfish because of the poisonous spines #I headcanon that he’s far weaker than Connor physically #but those toxic fins are definitely a threat #also oscillating between him being a shadowy self-imposed outcast or the heir to some extremely powerful clan #either way he loves toying with his prey

james st clair & violet ballard

#theyre just like me. #i can talk for hours how similar they are btw #cs pacat #dark rise #dark heir #violet ballard #james st. clair

[layla-carstairs]

obsessed with how heavily James is associated with Hell and Grace with Heaven in the Midnight Heir. it makes both their characters so... untouchable. there's something too grand about them, too beautiful and too unknowable to be real. and it forces them to be separated from everyone else, for what can equal Heaven and Hell itself?? even they themselves are total opposites. CC should have let their fucked up romance have more of a moment it would have been so so good. just get rid of that damn bracelet we don't need it.

#this doesn't make any sense but you get the idea <3 #also hear me out. then Cordelia would be earth. #like she is neither glorious or all encompassing like they are. and it's her greatest strength #she has not become something greater than she is. she is simply human <3 #yes this is inspired by vic rereading tmh how could you tell?? #bella talks #the midnight heir #james herondale #grace blackthorn #cordelia carstairs #the last hours #tsc #tlh #the shadowhunter chronicles

Why I love tfota

JURDAN! (For obvious reasons)

The clothes (delictable descriptions of otherwordly dresses and doublets)

Jude's hair! (I believe this gets it's own category because of how creative I can be with Jude's horns)

The politics! (Conflict of interest? SUCCESSION CRISIS? OVERWORKED SECRET HAND TO THE THRONE??! Sign me up!)

Jude's girlbossing (Or just general bossing)

Cardan's shenanigans (What more can I say?)

The worldbuilding (The beautiful yet uncanny alien world of Faerie was what drew me in the first place. I love the worldbuilding of the tantalizing High Court that really, as a reader, put me on edge along with the main character. It was almost like I couldn't always be comfortable while reading because I was always trying to anticipate the next pitfall. Plus I felt really smart when I figured out some of the mystery Holly Black cleverly laid out in clues :) .)

The court of shadows friendship (they will support each other no matter what!)

How Holly Black brought in other characters from other books (I know she's been doing this for a while but MAN it makes me want to read Tithe)

The drama (woahh reading HTKOELTHS was crazy. The gossip so intense.)

The writing itself (Honestly learned so many words and ways to structure sentences from these books. Helped out with my own writing a little.)

Jude conquering over everything in the end despite the faerie's judgements about her being human was so satisfying.

All the friends I made! (This series is already good but yall made it better.)

I could honestly go on and on but this list is way too long (And I haven't even talked about the majority of the side characters yet!). Thank you for reading.

something I find especially entertaining about Edward IV's reign is how Scandalous™ it was lol

he married a woman “whose origins broke all established conventions for English queenship” in a secret ceremony without consulting any of his lords and then made it everyone else's problem. he committed regicide, he committed fratricide; he was accused of bastardry, he was accused of bigamy and a 19-year-long sham marriage, he was accused of using necromancy against his subjects, he was accused of being enchanted by witchcraft by both his wife and his mother-in-law (multiple times). his own mother was said to "rule the king as she pleased" in the early years of his reign. he knew he was hot and actively milked it for money. he was vain as fuck: “he was wont to show himself to those who wished to watch him, and he seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature to onlookers”. he knew everything about everyone. "he was more favourable than other princes to foreigners". he was “fond of boon companionship, vanities, debauchery, extravagance and sensual enjoyments”; he was "thought to have indulged in his passions and desires too intemperately”; "it was ever feared he was not chaste”. his subjects publicly gossiped about his sex life, his doctors thought he was insane. NOBODY understood how he was still competent despite all this.

honestly, who was doing it like him?

#(the quote is by J.L. Laynesmith) #Edward IV #my post #the original post was written as a drunken shitpost but it's still 100% true #henry viii could NEVER. Even Humphrey of Gloucester pales in comparison I'm sorry to say #(EW was also accused of controlling both Edward and the country but I don't want to get into the propaganda against her right now - however #true or false it may have been in reality - so I didn't include it. HOWEVER it's absolutely true that Edward gave her a great deal of #unconventional authority by appointing her in royal councils for the heir and spare in her own right during her tenure as queen. So there #was an existing basis for the accusations against her even though they were obviously ultimately extremely unfair and prejudiced #and meant to denigrate her) #Elizabeth Woodville #Cecily Neville #english history #its kinda funny how historians often emphasize his womanizing (which very obviously happened tho it's difficult to say to what extent) when #talking about his over-the-top lifestyle. But as we can see: Croyland - who was best-placed to know - emphasizes a wider variety of things #that worried/scandalized his contemporaries. Edward sleeping around was just one of many (and the last on Croyland's list) #I don't necessarily think it should be highlighted as much as it is #(also funnily enough 'sensual enjoyments' was also used to describe *Richard III* on his northern progress during his reign lol)
