This is too harsh a punishment! For now I cannot see my face reflected in your eyes.

Jodhaa and Jalal, facing each other.

Nagmati and Padmavati, wives of Maharawal Ratan Singh, placing tulsi leaves in each others’ mouths and bidding farewell before committing jauhar.

Padmaavat (2018)

I’ve always found this scene unbearably wistful for some reason; Nagmati spent so much of her life being neglected by her husband and playing second fiddle to Padmavati. It’s only in this small last moment that Padmavati shows her some deference (however ceremonial), and despite being the first wife, when the women are all about to commit jauhar, it’s Padmavati they hail as a goddess.

Fiercely majestic and majestically fierce // spitting fire with those tears in her eyes

“The character of Jodhaa demanded a fiery yet graceful personality, and Aishwarya achieved this balance beautifully. The scene before the intermission where she’s angry with Akbar for accusing her of deceit, is tremendous because she conveys vulnerability with angst, using her eyes to emote. This was one of the most memorable moments in the film.” -Ashutosh Gowariker

“Sometimes you are going to miss a person who was an almost to you.  And feel sad because there is no name for that feeling.  You just feel it in a way that makes you tired to your very bones.” -Nikita Gill

Faasle hai phir bhi magar, jaise milte nahi kisi dariya ke do kinare. Paas hai phir bhi paas nahi.

But still there are distances between us, like the two shores of the river that don’t meet. We are near but still not close enough.

Jodhaa and Jalal, by each other’s sides.

Remake of my old photoset into a gifset, in case anyone recognized it.

m a r i a   r e g i n a | AU where Mary I lived longer

Despite the tumults that defined her youth, despite all the doubts as to a woman’s ability, Mary Tudor rules. She rules long and lives long. In another world, her religious ambitions were doomed to die in their nascence; in this one, she is allowed the years needed to cultivate and implement them into something resembling success. Blunt forthrightness is her natural state, and Mary is not always a celebrated queen but certainly a respected one. The arts flourish under her rule, and when necessary, she displays the same martial flair that secured her her throne, but unquestionably the sweetest fruits of Mary’s reign are her daughters, Katherine and Margaret. 

Dedicated to Cheyenne ( @empirics ), Mary I defender & extraordinaire. Happy birthday, and I hope you like this AU edit!
