Understanding that the Queen just passed and there’s no mention of her funeral as of yet, much less Charles’s coronation. Do you think Charlotte will wear a coronet to his coronation? Unlike with Elizabeth’s coronation, Charlotte is much older than Anne and could potentially attend the ceremony.

From what I can recall, most British Princesses haven’t worn a tiara until their wedding day correct? Does this standard apply to coronets as well?

I think I remember having seen pictures of Anne wearing a coronet for her mother’s coronation, or at least the official pictures but I could be mistaking that for Elizabeth and Margaret for their father’s coronation. Again, Elizabeth was older than Anne at that time.

I don't have a good answer for the first question because some children have worn coronets at coronations and some have not.

In 1953 for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, neither of her children wore coronets. Princess Anne didn't actually attend the coronation but she appeared on the balcony and in some of the official photos.

Then if we look further out to the Queen's cousins who were underage. Princess Alexandra was 16 years old and wore a coronet with a larger circumference than the usual female ones and without the velvet cap. The Duke of Kent was 17 years old and he wore a regular child of a son of a sovereign like he was an adult but he had already succeeded his father as the Duke of Kent so that may have changed how he was treated since he had to pay homage to the Queen and everything. Prince William of Gloucester, Prince Michael of Kent, and the Duke of Gloucester did not wear coronets.

In 1937 for King George VI's coronation, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret had open coronets similar to Princess Alexandra above. They went around the head instead of on top and didn't have a velvet cap. The Queen was 11 and Princess Margaret was 6 years old.

Even if these are still in good shape, Prince George and Princess Charlotte wouldn't wear them because they are alternating crosses and fleurs-de-lys for the children of the sovereign but Prince George and Princess Charlotte would need alternating crosses and strawberry leaves for children of a son of the sovereign.

In 1911 for King George V's coronation, the Duke of Windsor and Princess Mary wore regular adult coronets despite being 16 and 14 years old.

King George V and Queen Mary's younger children attended too but I can't find any pictures of them wearing coronets of any kind. You can see Princess Mary's coronet sitting in front of her and then next to her are King George VI who was 15, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester who was 11, and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent who was 8. Prince Edward must have been moving around a lot because he is blurry in every photo.

In 1902 for King Edward VII's coronation, his grandchildren that were old enough to attend did not wear coronets. I think the children here are the Duke of Windsor who was 8, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife who was 11, and King George VI who was 6.

This was all a long way of saying that I'm not sure what's going to happen because it seems like a different thing happens at every coronation. Personally, I'd like to see Prince George and Princess Charlotte (and maybe Prince Louis too for some pictures) wear the open coronets like Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret did in 1937 because I always want more shiny things. Also, I really hope I did the math right for all of the children's ages.

British princesses absolutely wear tiaras before they are married. I've got a post dispelling that myth here.

I'm in a McDanno wedding mood today and I'm thinking about McDanno engagement stuff.

I have nothing against the rings (oh, I definitely imagine wedding rings!) but...

In one of my comics Steve's engagement gift for Danny (*cough* them) is their beloved first shared car Misty saved by Steve (and mechanics) from a junkyard:

I also always thought about dog tags instead of engagement rings (you know, Navy Seal/cop & detective/cop, their jobs are a one big inspiration). @adelaydebclouds you were curious about that so I made a tiny something (@thatsvyk @sgtbarnes107 maybe you too will be interested):

made in generator: mydogtag.com

"Husbands" because they're husbands all the time, before and after wedding 😊

But I think that it's very important to add something to "detective husband" and "lt. commander husband":

They are husbands AND best friends forever, that greatest friendship is still there, always will be (as much important as their romantic love).

Ok, now I'm thinking that they should propose to each other in Steve's garage (oh, you all know WHY).

You know... some blanket on the floor, candles, good wine... No, wait. Their fav beer and McGarrett's flashlights (or John's old oil lamps). Coco puffs for Danny. Pancakes for Steve. Malasadas. Sweet food, sweet night. And romantic songs played on Mercury Marquis' radio. Yeah, THAT song too (I mean, Dr Hook - Sexy eyes 😁 I think that this time Danny will like this song).

And...

Oh, sorry. I have to end this post cause there's a very HD & very HQ movie in my head now 😅

I have a question about the Covid regulations in the UK regarding isolating.

I thought Catherine was having to self isolate because she came into contact with someone who tested positive.

But it seems as if 2-3 days later, she was back watching the matches.

I know in the US, we're advised to quarantine for 10-14 days if we come into contact with anyone who tested positive.

(This is not intended to be negative towards Catherine, I was just curious about the quick turn around and was curious if there were different rules in the UK.)

Self isolation starts from the time you interacted with the person and not when you were alerted as the infection cycle doesn't wait until you're alerted. Kate isolated for 10 days after the contact she had with the individual who tested positive, 7 days after she was contacted and 5 days after KP announced it

Zombie Apocalypse - Darcy/Loki

for @sgtbarnes107​ 226 words Rated T I know a place we can hide. Do you trust me?

~~~~~~~~~~

Darcy slipped her hand into Loki’s. He turned, looking first at their clasped hands and then back up at her, a quizzical expression on his face that made him look ridiculously adorable, but there wasn’t time for that right now.

She could appreciate his good looks later. They had to get somewhere safe. Good thing she knew just the place. If she could convince the biggest ego in all the realms to trust her and follow her there.

“What would I have to do to get you to trust me?” she asked.

He arched one eyebrow briefly. “Who’s to say I don’t already trust you?”

“Me,” she said bluntly. “C’mon, Loki. This is serious. I need to know you trust me.”

“Why?”

“Because I know a place we can hide.  But you have to trust me.”

“Why?”

“Just... do it. Please.”

He searched her eyes for a long moment and then sighed, nodding. “Alright.”

“It’s on Bleecker Street.”

Loki frowned. “Why do I know that address?”

“I dunno, but we gotta go there. We’ll be safe.” She took off before he could figure out that it was Stephen Strange’s place and absolutely nix the idea.

Of course, she was gonna have to call in some favors with Stephen to get him to allow Loki inside, but that was a bridge she’d cross when she got there.

I've seen the list of when Steve tells Danny I love you and vice versa. What about Steve and Grace/Charlie? I know when Steve stops by Danny's to visit Grace after her accident, he's like where's my girl!!! I need all the Dad Steve moments.

that's a wonderful idea. I can't put together a list on the fly though (it really is a lot of work going through all the episodes and transcripts). Maybe @five-wow who compiled both lists of i love yous from both Steve and Danny already has something up her sleeve? Or can the collective mind of fandom recall those moments from the show? A gifset of Daddy!Steve being precious with the children he coparent with his Danno?

Hi! I just saw your commentary on the post regarding Hans Holbien's The Ambassadors painting. In your breakdown, you provided a picture of the Sistene Chapel's ceiling. I had never seen the full ceiling before and was curious what knowledge you may have regarding the various scenes painted. Thank you!

HOOBOY do I ever have thoughts!! 

First, a quick caveat: you have to understand that the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is huge. Like, huge huge. Five thousand square feet huge. There’s only nine (9) main frescos running down the center of the area, but there are 47 separate pieces in total—not even counting the 20 ignudi (nude youth), architectural framing, 10 medallions, or various bronze characters—adding up to very nearly three hundred and fifty individual figures.

There’s a reason it took Michelangelo four years is all I’m saying.

OKAY so the ceiling can broken up into roughly four main categories:

The Nine Frescos - aligned directly down the center and meant to be read sequentially (starting when on the altar side of the room, not from the door), these depict prominent scenes from the book of Genesis. They can be grouped further into sections of three: 1-3 depict God creating the world generally, 4-6 depict the creation & fall of man, and 7-9 depict the story of Noah.

The Twelve Prophets - these squared paintings surround the center line, featuring an alternating set of five sibyls (famous historical but non biblical prophetesses) and seven Old Testament prophets. The particular individuals were chosen based on their Messianic prophecies (because even though all the images on the ceiling are from the OT, the point is still to direct the viewer to the Christ of the NT).

The Four Pendentives - triangular in shape and forming the corners of the ceiling, these showcase moments of Israel’s deliverance in the OT, with particular interest in the heroes that were popular at the time: Moses (The Brazen Serpent), Esther (The Punishment of Haman), David (David and Goliath), and Judith (Judith and Holofernes).

The Ancestors of Christ - made up of eight triangular compositions on either side of the length of the ceiling, these are located directly above the lunettes (moon-shaped compositions arched over the windows). These show various figures from the family/ancestral line of Christ.

You can see a visual breakdown in this diagram:

There are additional sections besides those four—the ten medallions (two on every other of the main frescos), which depict more (mostly violent) OT scenes; the twenty ignudi (two nude males on either side of each medallion), which are maybe angels maybe Peak Humans™ maybe who knows; and the lunettes (arched sections above the windows), which at one point portrayed all of Christ’s genealogy as found in Matthew, but two of them were covered over by Michelangelo himself in 1537 to make room for The Last Judgement, making the set incomplete.

Aight now that you have the tl;dr of the layout, you can see that it is A Lot™. Since picking even one section can easily (and has easily!) filled entire theses, I’m actually going to pull back a bit and talk more generally about form and structure, because—in large part due to his background as a sculptor—Michelangelo’s perspective and dimensionality is just masterful.

A quick reminder that the Sistine Chapel ceiling looks like this:

And, for a close-up, like this:

Obviously the figures are gorgeously done, to the point that they could be confused for sculpture rather than paintings (let it never be said that Michelangelo didn’t love himself some muscles), but what really makes me go feral is that that there ceiling?

That ceiling’s flat.

Okay not technically flat in that it’s dome-shaped, but flat in that there are no columns. The original, unpainted Chapel looked something like this:

Which, as you can see, is missing all that lovely architecture dividing up the ceiling.

The columns, structure, and forced perspective were painted, not sculpted, using a technique known as grisaille. The monochrome style was frequently used to call to mind classic Roman architecture (such as the pediment reliefs on the Pantheon and Parthenon), as the Greco Roman aesthetic was generally seen as the height (no pun intended) of artisan culture.

It’s no coincidence that Michelangelo took this route as, up until this point in his career, he wasn’t known for his painting much at all. He’d certainly made a name for himself as a sculptor through pieces like David or The Pieta, but this was to be his first major painting project—one he nearly turned down, because of the enormity of it all. The Pope, however, was quite set on it, so he eventually accepted—with a blank check to paint “whatever he liked.”

So he did—and his background in sculpture uniquely prepared him for creating more “active” bodies, such as in The Libyan Sibyl.

There’s a billion and one essays on her but for now let’s just notice the half-turned position, the musculature of her back (Michelangelo used a male model; do with that what you will), the sweeping lines of fabric, and the way her toe is just barely resting on the ground.

This is a painting that is alive: it gives off the sense that these figures are doing, rather than simply being.

Dynamics & motion were key to the composition Michelangelo wanted to create, partially because it’s that flow of motion that helps pull the viewer from one side of the ceiling, in the first fresco, all the way across the room to the last—and therefore, through the biblical narrative it portrays.

It’s so common it’s arguably kitsch to talk about The Creation of Adam (the fourth fresco), but what I want to point out is, like in the Sibyl painting, the movement of it all. 

The bodies are twisted, muscles flexed and coiled; there’s a languidity to Adam’s movements as opposed to the fierce, powerful forward momentum in God’s. 

Traditionally, the Christian God and other deities were shown in more staid, immobile positions, and while Michelangelo was not the first painter to break from that—that right arguably goes to Giovanni di Paolo—he was rather instrumental in shifting that paradigm, and once again, establishes this set of frescos as one interested in movement.

Finally, it would be hideously neglectful to discuss the form of the Sistine Chapel without mentioning colour, so one last thing.

As you may or may not know, art restoration is... controversial in the art world, to say the least. However, the Sistine Chapel went through a restoration beginning in 1980 and eventually completed in 1994, with the result washing away of several hundred years’ worth of grime and candle smoke, applying an awful lot of glue varnish, and touching up details/mending cracks:

Rather drastic, no?

It sparked a rather intense debate (that has still not eased up and doubtless ever will) about whether or not the conservators removed too much of the grime (for various reasons—the conservation work assumed all the painting was done buon fresco, which meant if Michelangelo had added any touch-ups after the fact those would’ve been removed; some suggest some of the smokey look wasn’t just smoke but actually a deliberate carbon black wash, etc., etc.).

Regardless, it at least allowed for a better look at some of the dynamics Michelangelo incorporated through his shading and highlights, as well as giving his brighter colours a chance in the limelight. This new, brighter version will keep the ceiling intact for many more viewers and critics for years to come.

(...At least until the next person decides to mess with it. It’s also had restorations in 1547, 1625, 1710, and 1935, so, y’know. Wait another 50-70 years and we’ll probably give it yet another go.)

Richard knows Guy is your favorite character of his. So one night, he dresses up as Guy and seduces you. Because I couldn't decide if I wanted a Richard or Guy story. And then I realized, I could have both. Thank you, you sweet angel!

I don’t know if this was meant to be a oneshot or imagine, so i’m making this into a react.

Richard would enjoy the fact that you love Guy. Guy is one of his favorites that he’s played as well, and he can’t help but giggle each time that you gush when Guy is on screen. It makes him feel good, especially when you gush about Guy’s hair (HIS hair, should he say). When Richard finds his old Guy costumes, he can’t help but want to seduce you. It’s always so much fun to him. 

He’d catch you while you are cooking, coming up behind you and purring in that familiar Guy voice. “I’ve got you now, my lady~” and you’d giggle, not thinking much until you turn around and find that he’s in costume!! and you’re trying not to squeal as you look at him. 

“And what will you do to me, oh Sir Guy of Gisborne?”

Richard would wriggle his eyebrows at you before coming to you, kissing you softly. 

“Wouldn’t you like to know, hm?”
