Ohh you headcanons about what they find attractive is so perfect!!! Can you please add Arthur to the list too ??!!!!

sure, i love getting arthur requests

physically:

he’s a sucker for softness. soft eyes that hold a smile, soft skin, soft barely-there dimples, soft cheeks, faint freckles and light marks. he loves it all, it’s the first thing he’ll notice on a person.

he also loves loves loves tits. he’s very enthusiastic about them, even the small ones. and nipples. just the whole chest area tbh, he’s a menace for it. always grabbing, sucking, flicking, biting… yknow.

he’s not bothered by clothes and material appearance - he’d probably fall for someone wearing a bin bag if they caught his eye the right way. it’s either that he really can’t tell the difference between an expensive top and a cheap one, or that he truly doesn’t give a fuck. it all comes off later anyway and what’s underneath is the main attraction to him.

he loves? accents? like really strong, un-shiftable accents. if they’re from places other than brum, even better. he’s the type that will laugh, not cruelly, but out of pure enjoyment at how his partner says things - he’d try and repeat them, or say shit like, ‘Did ya fucking hear that? Go on love, say it again.’ he’d just never get tired of hearing them speak.

someone who was big on showing love physically. bodies appreciating bodies and all that. if the purely physical, sexual attraction and appreciation is there, for both parties, then he’s a very happy man indeed.

personality:

patience is a must. he wouldn’t want, or need, someone that would fight with him, but rather one who could meet his rage with calm. who could keep their voice down and their face neutral - when he loses control it’s like the whole world is spinning, so he’d need someone who could stay steady, and bring him back again.

he’d love someone who could cook well. like, its cliche but his heart really is in his stomach - he’s always wanted to learn, too. cue cheesy montage of them making pasta together.

someone who sees the good in him, and works with him instead of against him. someone who’ll sit and listen to him air his torments, someone who’ll buy him pencils and paper after he mentions that he used to draw, someone who doesn’t try to stop him from going head first into battle, but is there to clean his knuckles afterwards. someone who just notices him, all the little parts of him, and embraces them wholly.

he’d absolutely love someone who still appreciates a good piss up though, lets be real. as much as he loves settling, and reading, and drawing, and starting a family… he’s still mad dog arthur. he’d want a partner who could ride the pleasure wave just like him.

he’s always drawn to those that don’t exactly command a room, but observe it. those who know as much as they can about the space they’re in, and those within it… he finds it much more intimidating, impressive, and worthwhile, than someone who’ll try and control a place in louder ways.

We need to talk about this bad boy

Émile Bonnaire. Adventurer, mercantile traveller, ladies’ man. Likes a drink, likes a laugh, loves to tell tall tales. Flamboyant, fun, and impressively fleshed out by the tiny, dapper, gravel-voiced charms of James Callis. Even his name derives from the French for “a good time” (or, depending where you look: “good bloodline”).

We first meet him accompanied by jaunty music on his way from the docks to a tavern, tipping his hat to interested women with a smirking flash of big, dark, pretty eyes, before roaring his intentions to pay for everyone’s drinks as he bursts through the door.

A bit of a rogue, Bonnaire. A bit of a weasel too, but a funny one. And he has an excellently aggressive wife.

Bonnaire is the kind of person who gets other people into trouble but always slips free himself. Pay attention - that’s going to be important later.

Once he’s successfully wriggled his way back into the clutches of the Musketeers, he treats Porthos (and us) to the glories of his exotic wanderings, revealing himself to be something of a liar, or just prone to exaggeration and fawning.

So far, so funny.

Except that the people he’s pissed-off have a habit of finding him, and again it’s those around him who pay the price. Our lads drag a potentially mortally wounded Porthos on to Athos’s old house and, despite comedy punching, it’s clear that things have taken a turn for the serious. The music is cluing us in, you see.

And it turns out that being beholden, duty, debts owed, and notions of family and belonging are massive themes here. As well as definitions of humanity, of who gets to be chattel. Of who gets to own the enacted tragedy.

Porthos rails and growls, and Bonnaire defends himself, claiming that the barbaric (“disgusting” - thanks, Athos) acts he’s perpetrating in the name of profit are “strictly business”. Not prejudice. Porthos spells it out for us, time and again: people are not belongings, everyone is free, no man has a right to own and dispose of another living soul. Except Bonnaire is. Except Athos has. Except the King and Richelieu do, and will. Arguably, these men who kill for duty, as Maria Bonnaire threatens for love (and is killed for revenge) are part of that same culture of disposable humanity.

The episode shows us this, asks us to consider a multi-faceted view of people and their motives and actions. People can be noble and be murderers. People can be friendly and polite, and ruthless killers. People can be charming and fun and human traffickers.

We have a problem in this fandom. A pretty big one, and frankly an old one too. Dumas, for example, seemed to be showing us an unredeemably monstrous Milady while simultaneously demonstrating that, in the society where she found herself, she had little choice - drown, or by killed for a witch, essentially. Tragic, noble, beautiful Athos drowns his sorrows under a nom de guerre, and charges at well-armed enemies in a bid to escape from a crime that d’Artagnan labels correctly as murder right from the get-go in the books. And in the show, Athos condemns Milady over and over for the sins that he himself commits, of killing at the command of the powers-that-be, forever drawn to and repulsed by a woman who shows him all-too-clearly what they both are, and have chosen to be. And yet certain facets of fandom cannot see Milady as anything but evil, and Athos as thoroughly blameless. So many adaptations (or perceptions of them) see Richelieu as nothing but a big old panto baddie and d’Artagnan as a beloved puppy who never did anything wrong. Hi. We have some things we need to address. Dumas gave us a raft of characters who are frankly horrible, selfish, violent people, every one of them flawed in some way, every one of them with issues they need to face, sins to atone for. We do the source material an injustice if we reduce them to simply Good Guys and Bad Guys.

And here, in response to an adaptation deliberately rendered for a modern audience, with dozens of layers in every interlocking scene and arc, people persist in seeing Bonnaire as a funny wee guy who was merely a bit greedy. But he’s funny and flash, so no real harm done, huh? Oh, he’s misguided, not evil!

The late, great Terry Pratchett broke down millennia of debate by saying that evil starts by treating people as things. Oh, it may head elsewhere, become more granular and a matter of opinion, but actually it’s pretty simple: don’t treat people as commodities.

The people who watch that episode and come away uncritical Bonnaire stans stagger me. This one isn’t even subtle - not only does he leave his beloved wife to die; not only does he lie and cheat and slide away from accountability at every turn, but Porthos roars (and later mutters) an absolute and no-holds-barred, emotional and intellectual take-down of the ethical nadir, the moral pit that is perpetrating slavery. He outlines in pitiless detail what it really means to the individuals (“Men, women, and children!”). He show how the long-term effects of that abuse, even once freed, shorten a person’s life, have resounding repercussions through generations. And he must feel so alone - the others holding him back from hurting Bonnaire, Athos telling him “Yes, it’s horrible, but it’s legal, and we have our duty to take this man to the Cardinal,” before ducking out of said duty himself to go on an drinking binge epic even by his standards. The others are more sympathetic, but still follow the course set for them by their superiors.

I want to tell the Bonnaire fans: yeah, he’s supposed to be fun and funny. You’re supposed to pick up that people can be interesting and quirky and ABSOLUTELY, THOUGHTLESSLY EVIL. That evil isn’t just the simple, unattractive thuggery of Labarge et al, it’s men doing ruthless things for the good of their country or for profit or for love or for power. It’s people feeling desperate and it’s people feeling dutiful. It’s not any one thing (except, at root, commoditising people), and just because they sold the role, doesn’t mean that the actor didn’t understand that either.

This is the message that I want them to understand: evil can look pretty. Evil can be charming. Evil can seem absolutely harmless. Evil can make you laugh, feel flattered, feel affection, feel pity. Yes, there are moral grey areas in the world, but human trafficking is not, cannot, and will never be anything other than irredeemable savagery. Slavery is cruel and vile and inhumane. And just because something has never been condemned in law, does not mean it is justifiable if it diminishes lives.

And just because you find someone attractive does not mean they’re the good guy. Come on, now.

Steve ‘did it hurt - a little’ Rogers

#/SCREAMS ABOUT HOW SKINNY!STEVE’S CHRONIC PAIN PROBABLY FUCKED UP HIS PERCEPTION OF PAIN FOR LIFE #STEVE ROGERS ‘OKAY YEAH THAT’S UNPLEASANT’ WOULD PARALYSE ANYONE ELSE #AND THAT’S NOT THE SERUM #THAT’S SKINNY STEVE THROUGH AND THROUGH (via beccabuchanans)

amuseoffyre

Don’t even start me on the fact he’s spent his whole life trying not to make a big deal of when he’s ill. He doesn’t want pity or sympathy. He doesn’t wanted to be treated like he’s weak. He doesn’t want to be looked down on because ‘he can’t take it’.

You only ever hear Steve Rogers scream once, and when he thinks people think he’s being weak, he stops and never screams again. Not unless you count the moment he sees Bucky fall to his death.

here's the thing about charles dickens. [discussion of his antisemitism, misogyny, and racism ahead.]

his last, unfinished novel, the mystery of edwin drood, features helena and neville landless, heroic and sympathetic south asian (sri lankan, specifically) characters, and the racism they endure in an english town is relevant to the plot to the point where neville ends up falsely accused of murder. in the wake of the indian rebellion of 1857, dickens applauded the english brutality against "that oriental race," and called for genocide.

fagin is called "the jew" 274 times in the first half of oliver twist. an article in the jewish chronicle asked why "jews alone should be excluded from the 'sympathizing heart' of this great author and powerful friend of the oppressed." at first, dickens dismissed this, and claimed he was just being accurate about london's criminal makeup. but he was moved enough by eliza davis's letters to him on the matter that he halted the printing of the latter half of oliver twist so he could change the text and remove the antisemitic language therein.

dickens was an abolitionist who despised chattel slavery in the united states, and called emancipation a "moral duty." dickens didn't think black americans were intelligent enough to vote, and he wrote an entire character in bleak house who is a joke to be disliked and mocked because she'd rather oversee charity missions to help children in africa than be a proper mother and tend to her own family at home in england.

speaking of one's own family at home in england, dickens smeared his wife, catherine hogarth, publicly so he could justify separating from her and taking up with a younger woman. catherine hogarth was likely mentally ill, likely living with postpartum depression. she was also an author in her own right and loved her family dearly. her reputation never recovered in her lifetime from the claims he made about her. in dickens's novels, time and time again, from nicholas nickleby to david copperfield to our mutual friend to the mystery of edwin drood, men who menace and take advantage of vulnerable women are portrayed as the worst kind of villains, deserving of whatever grisly ends come to them.

charles dickens was both privately and publicly a raging asshole in many ways and the world would be worse off without him, because he wrote for bourgeois, comfortable victorians, the very people who so often failed to "think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." in the same breath that he calls agnes fleming, who opens oliver twist as an unwed mother dying in a workhouse, "weak and erring," he dares to add that "i do believe that the shade of that poor girl often hovers about that solemn nook-ay, though it is a church." he calculated jo's death to the page in bleak house for maximum effect. but when he wrote of the orphaned crossing-sweeper, "dead, your majesty. dead, my lords and gentlemen. dead, right reverends and wrong reverends of every order. dead, men and women, born with heavenly compassion in your hearts. and dying thus around us every day," people listened.

i dedicated years of my life to reading him and studying him and thinking about him and writing about him and his novels. now, i turn to condemn him; now, i turn to justify him. i wish i had a time machine so i could shake his hand. i wish i had a time machine so i could publicly debate him. i wish i had a time machine so i could break his nose.

charles dickens gives me courage and hope. charles dickens makes me want to tear my goddamn hair out. he is everything i despise and everything i love about the victorian age in one; the term "a man of his time" ought to have been invented for him. the leaps and bounds the victorians made for progress in the public good are only matched in greatness by the extremity of their atrocities against their "fellow-passengers" on this earth. the way we think about nearly every modern social ill can be traced back to the 19th century; the way we think about nearly every modern idea of social justice can be traced back to the 19th century. every last one is writ large and small in dickens's novels. he and his age are the greatest contradictions in human history and that's why i can't shut up about them, ever, even when i am exhausted by them, even when i am inspired by them, even when it was two centuries ago and it shouldn't matter anymore, but it does. it always will.

the hamlet ocd post

that’s right. only took me fifty years. here it is: prince hamlet of denmark of william shakespeare’s smash hit hamlet has obsessive-compulsive disorder and i’m right & about to prove it.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER THAT YOU CAN STAGE HAMLET HOWEVER YOU WANT. (but i am right.)

credit where credit is due: this post (and this headcanon) was initially inspired by this post! because as soon as i read it, i was obsessed (no pun intended) with the idea. so here i am having re-read hamlet and jotted down actual line numbers as evidence, as if i am writing an essay and not a tumblr post, which is very obsessive-compulsive of me in general, actually. (yes, i have ocd; yes, i am qualified to make this post; yes, i will gladly accept additions/thoughts from anyone!!)

OBLIGATORY SECOND DISCLAIMER THAT I AM NOT THE END-ALL BE-ALL ARBITER OF WHAT OCD IS; THIS POST IS DRAWN FROM MANY OF MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT OCD MANIFESTS IN DIFFERENT WAYS FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS IT, AND I AM NOT A LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, I’M AN EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD.

#5 “baby, you’re shaking.” luca changretta x shelby sis / their Romeo and Juliette love suddenly comes to blows

Hello!! I'm a little confused by the last part but I'd like to know!

Prompt: "baby, you're shaking."

You wake up abruptly, gasping for air. It you a moment to realise that you weren't staring at the ceiling of your bedroom, but Luca Changretta's suite instead.

He was fast asleep next to you, his back turned.

You carefully climbed out of the bed and moved in the sitting area, looking for a bottle of water.

"Damn it." you cursed under your breath when the crystal glass slipped through her trembling fingers.

"Y/n?" you heard Luca call you. "What's going on?"

"Nothing. Go back to sleep." your voice cracked, and you did your best to hold the tears back.

"Baby, you're shaking." he was now behind you. Hands resting on your upper arms, slowly spinning your body towards him. "Talk to me."

You buried your face in his chest as you bursted into tears.

"H-hold me." you sobbed.

"I am." he shushed her. Nightmare?"

"Yes." you nodded, your tears wetting his bare chest. "It was horrible. It made me realize that I am horrible."

"You, horrible, bella mia?"

"Being with you might make me the happiest woman alive, but it also makes me a bloody traitor."

Luca let out a sigh. He understood her guilt and fear of getting discovered.

"What do you reckon Tommy will do?"

"Probably disowned me, or worse." she answered. "I don't even want to think what he'll do to you."

"We're in the middle of a vendetta, Y/N." Luca remained her. "You're gonna have to choose which side you're on eventually."
