medieval chess au….? that sounds so cool

so originally i wanted to do some kind of historical au for chess set during the medieval era, but the more i looked into it the more i realized that trying to do something like that in a real world context while still keeping the same real world political context (apolitical chess is just not as interesting to me tbh) just wasn't going to work, so instead i decided to do what george r.r. martin did when he was writing game of thrones and use real world history (game of thrones was largely inspired by the war of the roses) and real world politics within the context of a fantasy setting, so the main conflict is still east vs west, but it's the eastern kingdoms vs the western kingdoms.

freddie is ser fredrick, the gilded lion, born and raised in the golden city (the main seat of power among the western kingdoms similar to king's landing, located by the sea) to become king, beloved by most while also being regarded as a petulant child that (seemingly) hasn't had to deal with any real hardship, and then across the emerald sea are the eastern kingdoms, a colder, harsher climate compared to the western kingdoms, which is where prince anatoly, the black prince (or the white wolf, depending on who you talk to), lives with his wife, svetlana, and his advisor, aleksander molokov, who himself was born in the small settlement of alexandrovitch, located just outside the black gates, which separates the northernmost mountain range and the freefolk lands from the rest of the southern kingdoms. florence, meanwhile, is ser florence, a former advisor and freddie's royal mistress whose family comes from the eastern kingdoms but grew up in the golden city before deciding she was fed up with her life and ran away to become a knight instead, and then other plot details that include things like anatoly abdicating the throne because he never wanted the responsibility of ruling a kingdom and leaving his wife to take over the responsibility instead as the czarina and her doing so knowing that there are people who depended on them for leadership and guidance (and honestly probably being better at it than he was), molokov secretly plotting to take over the throne for himself (having already earned himself the nickname of the wolf whisperer), freddie regularly competing in the tournaments held in the golden city and being a very capable warrior in his own right (he's big on jousting).

#typing this with a fucked up hand because i got way too excited thinking abt never play to win a pawn aka game of chess #so far most characters and locations have a corresponding game of thrones equivalent that served as its inspiration #like how molokov is basically petyr baelish #or how florence leaves to become a knight like brienne of tarth does #the eastern kingdoms are very much patterned after winterfell and the wall in addition to its real world equivalent of russia #as well as other slavic countries #while the western kingdoms are patterned after king's landing and the vale and highgarden #as well as mountains and forests and some of the deserts found here in the states #i still don't have Everything but i also just haven't worked on this in Awhile #but it's definitely one of my favourite aus i've ever worked on tbh #answered #nickclose #chess the musical #never play to win a pawn tag #the tirolean spa (my brain) once again has the chess boys in it #i also have a drawing of knight!anatoly somewhere if i can find it 👀

enjolras propaganda: everything that Happened 2012-2015 to him on this site. he was the musical theater darling to all…….. and he deserves a win for everything he gets put through etc also the THEMES and MOTIFS that are not only in the musical but also the book………..

I know a few people who only got into professional fiction writing via their 2012-2015 les mis fic, so I have to respect him

it’s insane because i always feel like there are SO many people who love and post about nark when it’s actually just like 4 people i follow & me who post it ALL THE TIME

Now I'm imagining Nark Nation as actually just being a very passionate skeleton crew trying to make as much content and shitposts about these two

#its more than you think though #weve got over 50 people on the nark nation discord now #if i had to guess i'd say there are about 400 people /actively/ into nark #based on hits on ao3 fics #of which about hmm i wanna say 50 create content for them #and a good amount of people who are just like 'okay sure!' about them #answers and such #nickclose

sparrow & lark

Ooo yes

Sparrow

Bi-romantic ace

Gender fluid

Sparrow with Terry (I’m more obsessed with them than I should be)

Sparrow and Nick would be the ultimate duo and none of you guys can convince me otherwise

Other than obvious ones like him the dads, teens, and lark I don’t have anything else. I’m pretty open when it comes to shipping

Sparrow paints the empty rooms of d.a.d.d.i.e.s HQ with scenery from earth. There’s one of a forest, the beach, neighborhoods etc.

I Love him and I need to stop projecting onto him.

Lark

Pan aro

agender

Lark with Nick. I haven’t made any fan art for them but I do have some hcs here and there.

Lark and Terry (I know it looks like I’m making them friends with the others partner. And that’s partly it. But I promise it’s also because I have a hc where Lark drives Terry everywhere cause terry’s afraid to touch a steering wheel again.)

Same thing with sparrow. I’m pretty open on new shipping things.

If I’m being honest I don’t have many lark hcs that don’t have to deal with either his sexuality or the other kiddads. (Sorry) i do like to think he’s unintentionally very attentive. Like if you mentioned something you like or a fact he will remember it.

i don’t think about him as much as I should. I just kinda saw that people talking about him more than sparrow and I usually like to give undertalked characters a time to shine. I probably should give him more thought.

i’m pretty sure it was once of your fics that first brought up this to me (past the curie point maybe) but i LOVE the concept of lark having the sauce/being doodlerized it’s insane. it’s so plausible and SO good i love it :)

Thank you! I think I came up with it during a conversation with my sister, and it's always made a lot of sense to me, so I kept it around as a personal headcanon.

Anthony has defined 'someone being on the sauce' as somebody being insane with passion (insane ofc being the problematic factor they chose not to use, and I'll get back to that) and driven beyond reasonable human bounds to persue either absolute chaos or a personal goal. Lark kinda... fits that description! His motivation to kill the Doodler is so strong he is willing to do anything. He's totally zeroed in on his goal in a way I like to think is not natural.

Lark doesn't have eldritch powers and hasn't gone on a careless killingspree like all the other people on the sauce we've encountered, but this is Lark Oak we're talking about. If anyone is going to be an exception to the way a person gets influenced by the Doodler, it's him. He shares a connection and a strong mental likeness to it, and if somehow that connection does effect Lark's actions and determination... well. Could be interesting, that's all.

On the other hand, I always do try to be careful with it, because I also headcanon Lark as suffering from various mental illnesses (it depends on what I'm writing/how I'm feeling, but usually bpd, shizophrenia and/or type I bipolar disorder). Of course, the original material from which this flavor of eldritch horror spawned (heh) was very ableist, dehumanizing mentally ill people and lumping all types of mental divergence into a stereotype about people with divergent minds being dangerous, out of control, and disconnected from reality. I do my best to make it clear that this magical 'insanity' I like to write and think about doesn't equate to mental ilnesses. They are two seperate factors, 'being on the sauce' possibily correlating to dependent variable 'mental instability', but neither predicting a causal effect.
