Yes, I do think the awesome Elizabeth de Clare was a spiritual twin to Daria Morgendorffer. Both absolutely thought everyone around them was lame. I wrote up a whole blog about it.

#absolutely amazing post op #extremely niche posts about not very well known figure from edward ii's court are the true reason tumblr was created tbh #elizabeth de clare #'my biggest fear right now is that i'll wake up and this conversation won't be a dream' she had so many reasons to say that T_T #irt the article i don't believe there's any reason to believe that edward was committing incest with his niece #and not in yet another same sex relationship with her husband #the idea that him spending a lot of time with his niece (who was both close to his age and the daughter of his favorite and dead sister )..#..means that they must have been fucking is just bizarre to me tbh #edward ii also lavished a lot of gifts and attention on his nephew huchon including starting to give him lands at the age of 9 #that was just a very normal thing to do for a king especially for their litteral blood relations #and for all his flaws Edward was known to be generous including with random servants and strangers #also the idea that 'stories that Edward II and Hugh the Younger were lovers didn’t surface..#...at least until after Edward II was deposed' is demonstrably false #remember the whole 'the king and his husband' thing?#anyway this is once again not the point of this post and i'm starting to sound annoying to my own self #i just had to share my (strong) opinion on the topic lol #hope i don't come off as hostile and hateful

yeah, i gave this show soooo much grace because for a while i genuinely thought they were just trying to portray varied storylines in which victims behave very imperfectly and have complex relationships with each others and complex feelings about the abuse they went throught but at this point this stupid ass dragon show really lobotomized my girls and infantilized the shit out of the neurodivergent coded one (which…there's almost certainly some ableism there but i honestly believe that they mostly don't know how to make any members of the G team sympathetic without turning them into pure wholesome cinnamon rolls with half a personality trait if that), I'm so dumb for thinking they were gonna do anything even remotely good with those characters, it's on me at this point

#not even finishing this shit #2 episodes of this season was more than enough for me luvs #i've gave up better shows for less serious reasons so time for me to hit da bricks once and for all #btw i'm fully aware that this is at least a somehow unpopular opinion and i completely respect people who disagree with me #like i know a lot of people really loved the chickens thing and thought it was so lovely and adorable #i personally hated it and to me it highlight that they completely destroyed the book version of the character #and couldn't even be fucked to replace it with anything interesting #like they took away her being an advisor to her king brother and husband #completely ruined her extremely strong connection to her children #like i'm NEVER gonna be ok with her being like 'i shouldn't be so sad about my son being dead people die every day :)' like EXCUSE MEEE???#apparently the severe depression leading to her own death following the murder of her son is also just not a thing anymore #and do you think that since they did that many changes they actually gave her more agency or a more active role in the story? loooooool #couldn't even be fucked to do shit with her dragon being one of the biggest and most powerful #but eh she do loves animal :) only good people love animals and she is a good person :)#btw don't worry about the fact that she was interested in bugs and not other animals for the entire show :) this is very good writing :)#and don't even get me started on her mom...#once again i tried to justify a lot of their choices as an exploration of how people can react in difficult or even impossible situations #but like...at this point she's litterally just dumb #make me genuinely miss the book version #i have my problems with our boy's writing in general and in this piece of litterature in particular #and his version of queen A was a bit of a wicked stepmother trope that didn't had *that* much depth but like...#at least she had a brain in her head and made some decisions that might have been the wrong ones but made some level of sense #the show version is just like yeah let me open the gate to our enemy so we can escape and be happy forever :)#and it worked! (at least for now) like are you fucking serious lmao #they must have just invented crack in westero and the entire supply is going to their two queens istg #anyway i'm genuinely glad for everyone who still enjoy the show and i hope the rest of the season keep making you happy #(not being sarcastic here just to be clear i really do mean that)#but as for myself i think i'm done with everything that has to do with this universe tbh #apparently that other show that came out is by far the best of them all but like...#they got me feeling like i'm charlie brown and they're lucy holding the football

Just learned that there's a Twilight vampire who was a noble under Edward II and whose family actively plotted against the king leading to his brother's execution on at least partially made up charges by someone who is a (I think) unnamed stand in for Hugh le Despenser leading to the vampire dude's father developping an intense and insane hatred for Edward II and turning to occult forces (and potentially trying to sell his soul to the devil?) to try and get revenge/put his last remaining son on the throne but it turned out that the occultist he was working with was a vampire named George who was litterally just trolling the whole time and who then turned the dude and that's how he became a vampire himself

#as somebody who has never read twilight i was not ready for any of that #i learned this in a video titled 'the most ridiculous vampire backstory in twilight' lmaooooo #tho to be entirely honest it IS the type of bs that could happen under edwad ii i wouldn't even be surprised #i honestly think that stephanie meyer probably read about the witchy murder plot against our boy edward and was inspired by it #which is pretty cool tbh i'm not complaning #btw my favorite part is that the vampire dude is not interested in any of it AT ALL #like he's not interested in plotting against the king or in trying to get revenge he's not interested in becoming the king nor a vampire...#bro is straight up just chilling at home with his mom and sisters and all that bs finds him very much against his will #btw it doesn't appears to include any homophobic elements which....surprising tbh #edward ii #yeah this is going in the tag idc

This gruesomely adorable image is just one of many gorgeous details from the Isabella Psalter, which was giving to twelve-year-old Isabella of France by her husband, Edward II, as a wedding gift. And it really does give Medieval Creepypasta vibes all throughout.

#i love this psalter so much #and i love imagining little 12 years old Isabella going through it with her ladies #all like 'oh look at that huge bug! Look at those zodiac signs! Look at that dead man!'#medieval art

softly-and-suddenly

Half of the chapters in The Name of the Rose are like “In which Adso and William get up to Indiana Jones-style hijinks in the torture matrix library and someone gets murdered in an insane fashion” and the other half are “In which the monks debate whether Jesus ever shaved his legs for twenty pages straight”

#and it fucking rocks #the name of the rose

daciancatamite

we should invest in history studies so wed know more abt more historical figures in order to make more elaborate n historically accurate rpf yaoi. thats the main reason i think.

#the main reason why i went to college for medieval history tbh

#Edward II made Piers Gaveston his Lieutenant of Ireland and Richard II made Robert de Vere the Marquess of Dublin#so regrettably gay people very much did colonize Ireland

#amazing post thank you

cparti-mkiki

#i understand the point fareed was trying to make but this is the absolute worst example he could have chose #because this is litterally historically accurate #and also fun and cool #also i love the people in the notes who are like 'did you know that this 4th century catholic saint did things...#...that are unsavory to my 21th century liberal morals? 😡'#like oh no bro say it ain't so!#we need to cancel saint augustine! stop the fake emerald fennell biopic now!!

romanceyourdemons

1960s fujoshi sneaking out to the movies to watch becket (1964) for the eighth time: bradley’s invited me to the roller rink, and he has very bad intentions with me, so i’ll probably be gone for a while

romanceyourdemons

1960s fujoshi being confronted about the becket (1964) fanart she’s drawn on her schoolwork: i just think audrey hepburn and peter o’toole would make a grand couple. it’s a shame i’m so bad at art

romanceyourdemons

1960s fujoshi explaining why she’s getting a masters in early medieval history: no reason

#i would have been a medieval history obsessed fujoshi in litterally any society i could have been born in #except if i had been born during the middle ages in which case i most likely would have wrote gay fanfics about the bible #i got that dog in me

I don't think I ever mentioned it but my bestie owns and plays the hurdy-gurdy which is already really cool in itself but I always found the process he went through to acquire it was fascinating in itself.

The thing is, you can't just order one from Europe. I mean, you can, it's not like it's illegal but it's pointless if you're planning to actually use it as a musical instrument: it's well-known that they don't cope well with the extreme temperature changes we deal with in Québec. They usually ends up being useless after a few years at most so for a long time they were not really used in music in Québec, even back in the 70's when they became fairly popular in folk music.

Well, the craftsman who built my friend's hurdy-gurdy had been working with pipe organs for decades, including old and messed up one from now closed churches. He ended up realizing that the wood from those pipe organs can created hurdy-gurdy that not only works perfectly well but also can withstand our wearther with no problem and that's how he ended up with his very own medieval string instrument :)

#the whole thing makes me little medievalist self very happy #everytime he gets this thing out i'm like yoooooooo!!!!#it's kind of a shame that they only became a thing so recently here tbh #i wish i lived in the alternate reality where Harmonium had access to hurdy gurdies when they made si on avait besoin d'une 5e saison in 75 #but anyway #i want to post a lil video of that but i would need to find one where we can't see his face #i don't think it would bother him that much but i decided not to share irl people on this website generally speaking #too many weirdos tbh #i might just ask him to play me a little tune next time i go to his place and film it the way i want to #anyway having friends who share the same niche interests than you but explore them in different ways is litterally the coolest thing

William and Adso investigating the death of Adelmo (1327 A.D.)

(Read The Name of The Rose. Banger book. Having a lot of thoughts about it.)

always make sure to properly title your documents because i once emailed my substitute english teacher fanfiction rather than my homework. like sorry miss that isn't my shakespeare essay that's my fuckign hurt no comfort gratituous violence yaoi rpf do you want to ritually sacrifice me

cahokiajazz

the two documents were next to each other in my one and only computer folder, and i wasn't really concentrating, so i didn't realise my grave mistake until the teacher emailed me back like hey this is very good but it's not what i asked for. then i checked the document i sent and realised i had not submitted c1745thd640_56, my beautiful essay, but rather c1745thd640_57, which was a very long and graphic description of piers gaveston being beheaded

#op this is litterally my greatest fear in life and the reason why i always triple check the files i'm sending to my prof #and the fact that this is about piers gaveston makes it even more relatable to me #we don't know each other but we are truly kindred spirits believe me

deadghostgirl12345

#not but for real #that's why i need a schedule and discipline #but like...it's so much fun to just completely fuck my sleep schedule by getting in the zone and writing late at night #unfortunately #writing stuff #writing
