#the great matter

[fideidefenswhore]

Among the company was John Barlo or Carolo, priest and dean of Westberry, and three other Englishmen, who resided in the house of the commander of Chantrain. The Dean, who did not speak Flemish, was the principal person. He is of small stature, with red hair, sober in eating and drinking, speaking little, and ignorant of music or games. At table nothing was said of any importance, and the English divorce was not touched upon. After supper remarked to him that there was not so much talk as usual about the divorce, and asked whether the matter had been hushed up (appaisiees). The Dean replied, that it was true there was less talk, but the matter had not been hushed up. Asked who put this idea into the King's head; whether it was the late Cardinal, or some other. The Dean replied that the King's confessor, whose name Heylwigen does not recollect, spoke to him about the nullity of his marriage some nine or ten years ago, and that the King was grieved at it, for otherwise he would have wished to continue in this marriage.

"Rapport de M. Loys Helwighen touchant l'home de Louvain." Loys de Heylwigen, of the Emperor's council in Brabant, was supping with the porter of the castle of Louvain on 22 June 1532 [...]

Another favourite angst trope: When a character is so used to being treated badly that they don't see anything wrong with it and talk and think about it very matter-of-factly

Until they meet the other characters and see how HORRIFIED they are every time they reveal another detail from their past

#my posts #tropes #this trope is also great when paired with the 'not used to freedom' trope #like a character very matter-of-factly asking if they're allowed to eat lunch because they've already eaten breakfast #and they werent previously allowed regular meals #but didnt realise that that wasnt normal #whump #ive made a few 'favourite angst' trope posts #should i make this a series

seeing people talk about the new animated superman show reminds me that the issue superman's had for the last few decades in mainstream media, which is that too many dudebros assume the point of his character is about his "power". like "oooh look how scary he could be, if superman were real he'd be soooo dangerous" and missing the real truth. the ultimate truth. the actual truth:

superman works because he is a fundamentally very similar character to spider-man.

#my adventures with superman #superman #spider-man #thoughts of loog #what i mean is their nature of “with great power comes great responsibility” and “no crisis too small” have an immense amount of overlap #they exist as power fantasies yes #but the power fantasy isn't doing whatever you want #it's having the power to help anyone and everyone you can #no matter how small the problem seems

i still remember clearly one of my first interactions at pride with a 40-something member of the lgbt community. I asked him if I could take a picture of him with the bear flag (because I was really happy to see it irl for the first time!) and he asked, "are you feeling like a she-bear a little bit?"

and being gay almost exclusively online back then aside from maybe two friends, I was shocked by that question. me? a 19 years old kid who thought themselves to be cis and bi? I was basically the polar opposite of what a bear is.

but now, six years later, I see it. I'm fat, I'm hairy, I'm shamelessly a dyke, I'm masc. yes I'm butch, but fuck it, I'm also a she-bear. that guy was right. I hope he's doing alright and he knows he's changed my view on labels forever.

#he's (largely) the reason why im so adamant about interactions within the community #i know and understand that many are not lucky enough to have the chance to socialize with older lgbt members of course #but reaching out to them online is also a great tool. what im saying is that it's important to talk to them #because what people argue about online literally does not matter #personal

If you struggle with learning to draw Transformers or other mecha characters: It's all about bullshitting. As long as it looks consistent in itself, it doesn't matter at all if it's not too accurate. It's about having fun, and if you need to cut some corners, go for it! Fuck it!

#my biggest art advice is always to allow yourself a lot of time #and just finish things #it doesnt matter if it's not that great #robots are fucking hard to draw and nobody gives a shit if it's a bit wobbly looking #you get better with practice!

#artists on tumblr #so colorful this year #the first pieces i have planned for 2024 are more horror themed again #doing my best to relax until the new year #i love freelancing but i haven't had a single vacation this year #so trying to actually just... not draw for a few days :') #i always feel guilty when i don't #but no matter how much you love something you need to do other things too #be a person outside of it #even if the algorithms hate that #i hope everyone has a great rest of the year #especially sending strength and good vibes to anyone working customer service over the holidays #been there #i wish a very “step on a lego” for any customer being shitty to you

So here it is, my great mystery project - now finished!

On my search for a new crochet project that's at least sort of unique, I had the insane idea to recreate one of my favourite works of art. And well, I did. I'm honestly pretty proud of this one too because it took obviously quite a bit of effort and I'm still a beginner at crochet. Well, I'm sure someone else did it before and most likely even better, but if so I couldn't find it ;) (Not even a crochet pattern for the full thing!)

And because my photo skills aren't the best, just as usual...here's another photo taken with flash where you can actually see the stitches pretty well. Not sure if you should actually look at them closely though, lol.

#crocheting #crochet #yarn crafts #fiber crafts #yarn art #crochetblr #the great wave off kanagawa #hokusai #japanese art #this is literally the best thing i ever created ngl #(watch it get zero notes as that's usually the case with stuff i'm proud of lol...doesn't matter tho i achieved something >:D)

there was something really jim henson-esque and campy about how some of the non-human races were portrayed in the new dnd movie that i really enjoyed. they could’ve easily gone the shitty cgi route or just not shown those races up close at all, but no, they said you want a bird man? we’re gonna get you a bird man

#i just watched the movie last night! it was great :) #i rate it as FUN and COOL the only ratings that matter <3 #dnd movie #??whats the tag lmao #dungeons and dragons honor among thieves #dnd movie spoilers #honor among thieves spoilers #i guess jic #when i heard aarakocra i was for sure expecting they would just make it a human with wings maybe #imagine my pleasant surprise when this fraggle rock looking motherfucker showed up #and the dragonborn looked like he came straight out of the dinosaurs tv show which was v cool imo #the tabaxi mother and child were my favorites though they were so cute #shame they didn't put a little bit more of that creativity into doric's design #even just some bigger horns and some cool contact lenses would've been fun #still loved her though :p

i don't even like aegon but the way alicent treated him in that scene makes my blood boil

hitting 13 yo and blaming him for what happened because he didn't act like a babysitter "and where were you?!" i'm sorry ma'am where were YOU? the queen and the mother. giving nasty side eyes and finding new ways to torture rhaenyra and her sons surely

#alicent was shtty mother #and yes she was being rped #and didn't wanted those children #and i'm 100% on her side with that matter #she should not have to suffer that #but don't say she was a good mother #cause she was not #her children are either afraid of her #don't like her #or have strong mommy issues #anti alicent hightower #anti alicent stans #aegon targaryen #hotd #house of the dragon #her hair looks GREAT here though may I add

wayne's newest mug that he gets like the day after eddie and stevie officially start dating:

#big believer of wayne and stevie father/daughter bonding times watching sports and fishing before steddie are even dating #wayne knows it's just a matter of time and he wants to get to know his future daughter in law. and she's great #steddie #transfem steve harrington #stevie sees the mug and immediately starts crying bc 1) wayne loves her and 2) wayne loves HER like not only is he calling her an in law but #a DAUGHTER in law and she's like 🥺 #eddie is as dramatic about this mug as you'd expect him to be #like. BETRAYED. by mine own uncle. i mean i can't fault your taste bc stevie is perfect in every way #but i WILL be prostrating myself around the trailer in throes of rejected agony
