The Long Victorian @longvictorian.bsky.social · Dec 26

Yellow Scale (1907) by František Kupka (Czech, 1871–1957). Self-portrait, showing the artist holding a book in one hand and cigarette in the other, a glimpse of his personality. Known for his eccentricity and sensual nature, deeply interested in spiritualism and the occult.

manifesting their sex scene in the missing Monmouth chapter (it's bad missionary and Hal's orgasm rips through him like an exorcism). Hal you moron why didn't you stay with your dad at the end of this book and jerk him off 😭 #selfishungratefulsons

thinking about the "Henry Henry" for two seconds and once again screaming crying clawing the walls over: "Just when he felt Henry might give up, Hal began to mirror precisely what Henry did, so that neither of them was fully at fault when their tongues touched."

desperate to be Richard's wife but forced to be his little boyfriend smh this is why he had to go off and breed a wife of his own (his son) and teach him the importance of monogamy (ruin him for all other men). In this essay -

There is another world in which Henry Bolingbroke was one of Richard II's little boyfriends and everything was different. Not better but different

I think #Hansry woke something up in me.
Because this happened in just a few days.
It dragged me out of a horrible art block.

Knight and the kiss of blade

[ #art | #ttrpg | #oc ]

A blonde slender man in his underclothes is presenting his rapier sword to a fully armored knight, who is leaning in to kiss the blade. His fingers are laced in the other man's trouser strings.

Knight and the enemy within

[ #art | #ttrpg | #oc ]

knight oc Wreg holding his one-handed sword to his inner thigh, the blade almost ready to puncture the white fabric of his trousers. His outer layers, belt and armor pieces are falling off, and his upper torso is bare. Only half of his face can be seen, looking stern. Background is dark, with illustrated rose thorns and blood drops.

Last few figures. I'm trying to be looser and more relaxed, less precious

Ash, from Mary Gentle's Ash: A Secret History. She is a white-haired woman wearing full plate armor and holding a sword.

Jovan Oliver, a medieval nobleman under Serbian emperor Stefan Dušan. He is wearing Byzantine-style robes with what appears to be a Mongolian cloud collar over them.

Re the ESC's Henriad cycle: I am grateful that they let Michael Pennington keep his naturally curly blond hair for Hal, which is perfect, but I am agonized in perpetuity that he did not keep that look for Richard II as well. Henry IV being haunted by his son's face being RICHARD's face too...

The English Shakespeare Company's "Wars of the Roses" cycle is both (1) criminally underrated, and (2) absolutely worth watching if you can snag the DVDs.

Posters for the National Theater of Korea's production of Macbeth (Designed by Yuni Yoshida, photographed by Noh Juhan). Love that in the 400 years of Shakespeare performances people are STILL designing posters and playbills that hit you like you're experiencing the play for the first time.

Man reading a book called “how to stop stressing about writing”, inside it says “complete the writing”, and the man cries tears of sadness
