EVERY ARTFIGHT ATTACK IVE MADE SO FAR!

in order of people ive attacked (sorry for the tags): @casenumber28 , foolzcanvas on instagram, @sasheliv , @s0ckh3adstudios , @randomnessunlimitedblog , @bprecioso , @tinytoniichka , @morspritt , @kilowatt-hr , and casenumber28 againnn!!

so this is the first shot of claire's room during william and elizabeth's wedding. already we can see that the angel clock survived along with the candleholder on top of the fireplace. the carpet remains the same but the angel that victor took with him is gone, evidently destroyed in the destruction of the tower, replaced instead with two chairs and a small table. which makes it feel more like a leisure place (? idk what yall call it in them days) rather than claire's room or the brothers' bedroom before.

(sorry for the brightness and exposure i can't see shit) and here is the bed and the angel!! which.... you know, victor took. which is our next problem because we all know that victor took that damn bed with him in his flat in edinburgh and then to the tower, which, again, HE BLEW UP.

so we thought this thing over here was the bed just flushed against the wall. and the dresser right next to it, so we also kinda hesitated and was like. is that a folding screen or what. but more importantly, WHERE'S THEIR BED?

we get victor's reflection when he does his sincere non-apology, and whatever is behind him doesn't look like a bed at all, so we're like. WHERE DO THEY SLEEP?

this time, we went frame for frame!! and found out that YES, ACTUALLY, THAT IS A FOLDING SCREEN RIGHT UP AGAINST THE WALL AND THAT IS A DRESSER BESIDE IT. A REALLY BIG DRESSER??? idk but all that says about this now is that claire's room is BARREN and has nothing that shows you that she once lived there, as their mother. or even as someone. so putting all these together, we put two and two together and thought that maybe they only used the room for the wedding, and left it as it is for the duration of it. which means elizabeth and william (or even separately) do not sleep in claire's room, but rather, in some other rooms that we weren't shown in the movie.

tehya also found out where the set location of claire's room was and it turns out it was in the burghley house in lincolnshire which showcases the paintings from roman history like the battle of cannae, mark anthony's death before cleopatra and scipio and a ceiling filled with figures from roman mythology!!

moreover, claire's room had two entrance/exits which could only mean it was primarily a parlor or a drawing room that was purposefully remade into her room instead (might be her request too before the marriage? idk. is that normal??). and it stayed that way after victor and william separate and head to their own cities, what with victor taking her gloves, her bed, the only family portrait (which is only present in the library) and the angel statue. who knows where the rest of her stuff is, it might probably have been buried with her too! for the dresses.... a mystery!

NOW FOR THE TOWER

initially, we thought that william slept.... on the floor or somewhere god knows where in the tower. but the tower supposedly has only one room, right?

again, frame by frame.... i thought that victor's study and his room were in different places. but nope, they're in the same room!

that's his maman's bed, and also the bed that elizabeth slept in when they went overnight..... so that would mean that the couch we see william tuck victor in is the same couch he sat down on when he rejected william's letter from the university

(it's also the same couch near the fireplace in his edinburgh flat)

which is this couch, right? and it looks small, but

same couch!!! and it also got us thinking.... WHERE does william sleep during this time? obviously, he doesn't sleep beside elizabeth. he's a gentleman. he'd take it upon himself to sleep somewhere else..... so i took another look at the room, and

THIS IS THE SAME COUCH. WHICH MEANS THE BROTHERS WERE SLEEPING ON THE COUCHES!!!!!!

SAME COUCH RIGHT BESIDE THE DOOR. SO THAT WOULD MEAN. victor's literally a few feet away from his maman's bed where elizabeth sleeps, which is pretty much how he saw elizabeth slipping out.... or how he notices his favourite bed is empty, and then he follows to listen to elizabeth and the creature talk. which leaves william sleeping by the couch.... as a heavy sleeper too, maybe? since he didn't wake up when young!victor had his "vision" too!!! BUT ITS STILL A FUNNY IMAGE REGARDLESS DFJHDBG

also tehya went ahead and looked for where each of the sets were!! claire's room and the "hallway" (actually a drawing room) where victor leaves after getting slapped by elizabeth is in the burghley house in lincolnshire, while the exterior and stairwell scenes were all shot from Gosford House in Scotland! while young!victor demanding the guards to get out of the room so he can cry is in Wilton House while harlander's set location is in a place called Hospitalfield House in Arbroath, Scotland!! AND the library.... it turns out.... isn't a library... it's the Dunecht House in Aberdeenshire!!

this long-ass thing is just.... notes for myself and tehya but also. yeah they frankenstein-ed THE ENTIRE ESTATE so it's quite difficult to visualise which room goes to which room and how many rooms really are in the estate and if the boys really got their own rooms and they just wanted to sleep in their maman's room.

i wish i could tell you! my list got nuked and a lot of the titles are very specific and i dont remember them off the dome

i will say if youre looking for hentai artists that cater to a female audience and if you can manage to find them i recommend igedoaha, rororogi mogera, harumi niina, nao tamaki, jinmen shijimi, and aizawa anji. as w porn and kinks, your mileage may vary for the content.

not a good father, but believes on some surface level that he was. very wrapped up in himself ever since mary died, which has now caused obvious strain on his relationships with his sons. touches of (or maybe full blown, tbd) narcissism and issues with aggression, with guilt, with self-loathing buried in an ego cocktail.

unreliable narrator. lies, even to himself. he'll say a lot of things based on feelings or wants or his own pov. it's important that you don't take what he thinks as actual fact or any attempts at godmodding; he's just full of shit.

i'll say it again: he says awful things. he's abusive. he was born and raised in the south, and some of his views reflect this. mun does not equal muse. this is your trigger warning.

i don't claim adam as his kid*, the lameass apology he tried to give his sons (he lacks that sudden level of self awareness / humble empathy), the men of letters stuff, or really any prequel nonsense that we don't see within the first couple seasons.

john's a very complicated christian, and has a damaged but existent relationship with god that will be present throughout my portrayal.

i don't claim his canon death and cherry pick all his choices / dialogue after the car crash. let's make it more interesting. let's keep daddy in the plot.

happy saturday nonny !! are you referring to the romance meme i filled out for him ? if so, the part that leans submissive is specifically referring to his ideal partner. meaning, he's more attracted to submissive types (and quite significantly so)! he, on the other hand, indicated in the section just above that one, is suuuuuuper dominant.

mind you, he's dominant not in an overly aggressive way !! in the way the comes when you just have a lot of quiet confidence and are kind of. used. to ppl acquiescing to you ksdm. you can see it in the movie as we know! sleeping beauty has so many subtleties in its characterizations but imo that's the best kind to draw personality conclusions from (i could write like 60 pages on a scene and the insight of phillip's personality i drew from it if you asked mesdkmsd).

at the end of the day, in every scene he's in... he ends up getting his way, or kinda forces his opinions / feelings one way or another. and he does it through his sheer strength of personality. doesn't take ' no ' or ' you can't do this ' for an answer by... literally just waltzing out of the room, lmao.

plusssss he's a crown prince !! and in my story -- the firstborn, the only son from hubert and juliana, and the eldest of a million cousins. all this and more contributes to his very dominant, big-brother personality, but dominant in a way that he just sort of expects everything to go his way? easy and controlled and confident.

in all the years i've written him, his submissiveness comes out in how devoted he is to his romantic partner specifically. he's very ' yes darling ', ' whatever you say, darling ' type tbh like i knowww you all see that too !! man who's got the whole world on his shoulders but will absolutely kneel at your feet and kiss your knees and ankles and all that. i really do say that this is purely for romantic partners because he's suuuuuuuch a lover boy. he's that type of friend that would forget his friends existed once he's in a relationship i'm ngl i'm ngl. he'll get better with that the older he gets .......... maybe. prolly not.

he'll do this mostly behind closed doors because, again, i do write an older phillip and i think the dominance / assertiveness of his personality matures into something that gives him a very steady, slightly more serious persona in front of others, esp. when he becomes king. less of a twinkle in his eye in public and all that. but he looooooooves quiet, alone times in the woods and behind closed doors like i said where he can just be a total suck up yes dear whatever you say dear to his partner lmao.

but that's why he leans more to the submissive types, bc they tend to fit with that personality easier. if someone's more forceful / dominant romantically with him i think he honestly wouldn't be used to that and like that at first LMAO. he can be very entitled and arrogant at times ..... at the end of the day once he's over the initial shock dskfm he looooooves a challenge and experiencing new things. he's a leo sun, libra moon, and sag rising after all !!! first he would tend to bro-zone those kind of people i'm ngl skdmf just cuz he's VERY VERY VERY roughhousey with his friends who are all pretty cheeky and dominant like him. things can change tho ...... like i said, he's suuuuch a lover boy. and an absolute sucker for good looking ppl lmao. bit shallow at first in that way. he is ... a dog ... at times ....

i'm sorry i rambled so much more than you were probably looking for LMAO. but thank you so much for your kind words at the end !! i'm doing my best heeeere, and i love this character so so so so much, and if you can't already tell i LOVEEE random questions because all i DO is analyze Everything haha.

thinking about jordan's gender expression specifically with the use of she and he and how they've felt more comfortable with they because, to them, their relationship with pronouns and its use has been greatly weaponized against them, specifically by their parents. ' he ' is an expectation, a specific image that's used to uphold whatever concept paul and kayla want to project about the li name. and even so, when they present more fem, you can see that's when jordan is more forthright, confident, and commanding — traditionally "masculine" traits. but that doesn't take away from who they are in their masculine form ? they're still themselves.
