I've come to a decision about something that's been bothering me for a little while : what to do with Richard. I absolutely love this muse, but lately I've felt rather confined on this blog. So, in order to rectify critical errors I made in my ignorance beginning this account concerning my portrayal ( the purely historical side of it ) & give Richard & I room to breathe & stretch, I am going to be placing this blog under an ARCHIVE status & moving over the next few days. All drafts & relationships are coming with me unless you wish to start afresh or feel strongly otherwise. I can respect both. New verses, a new set of faceclaims ; a touch of ' new ' in general to a muse I owe so much to. I'll get the link posted later tonight or tomorrow ( depending on how my current battle with bronchitis goes ).        Thank you to all of you for your understanding & patience !

Evening ! This is just a quick post before I pop off to bed to acknowledge something most of you have probably noticed : how quiet Richard's blog has become. Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone for their patience with me & offer my sincerest apologies. Secondly, I wanted to address the matter & simply explain that I'm out of time. I recently got a job working about 30 hours a week on top of 5 hours' worth of college classes per day as well as a social / dating life, hence I just don't have as much time for Tumblr as I used to. I can't sacrifice hours elsewhere ; I'm simply too short on them as it is. I may make a more formal post later putting Richard on a semi - hiatus, but rest assured that I will likely never put this dork of a Duke on a full hiatus. I love him too much to do that. For now, however, please don't be angered with a running queue or lack of immediate replies. I promise that I'm doing my best to get what is owed to you !

                      Wow! First I wanna thank the academy, and second, I wanna give a shout out to grimisms for the picture and graphic. Anywho! I never thought I’d get to 200 (now 206) followers on this blog. One, due to lack of activity, and two, I’m still pretty new to the Kuroshitsuji RP fandom. Right here’s a small group of people who’ve made me feel very welcomed within the community. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have had as much fun as I’m having with Claude (despite struggling through drafts and working on headcanons). You guys have all been so supportive and some of you have given great feed back as to what I should avoid and what I’m doing decently. Again, please do note, this is my first time doing a follow forever and I may or may not have forgotten a few people here and there. 

                      Thank you so much and I hope to                        write with many more of you!

         ▪ ▪ ▪ █ ▌; ノ Richard was delighted ( so terribly so ) upon hearing that            laugh of his ; to just be acknowledged. Whenever he tried to do so to his            mother, she would so often brush her skirts free of him and continue on            her way —— with Richard even so often tagging behind ( more desperate ).            But his father never did so ; his father was far too radiant, to kind, he had            a glow to him that made even the sun look dim in comparison & how the            boy loved his father so!            The boy stood before the other, small hands extending out to grip onto            hands and arms and whatever he could reach ; eager to possibly be            scooped up into familiar arms ( —— the view was much nicer up there! ).            ”You — you’re not mad?” He wasn’t! “Hello, father! Why aren’t you asleep?                                                            ——-  Can I spend time with you, please?”

       ( ♔. )          ;  It didn't take long for Richard to guess at the want & he was more than happy to oblige. Strong arms enveloped the younger York, tenderly lifting him as he himself rose, glad to be free of the cold ground. A series of soft cracks emitted from his back from the stretch, penetrating the silence before the father spoke with seemingly now - permanent smiling lips.                          ❝ No, I am not angered. ❞                                    His brows knitted together curiously as he leaned                                    his torso back  slightly in order to see the lad fully.                     ❝ & I believe I could ask the same of you, Richard. While I am glad indeed to see you, it is quite  LATE. Why are you not in bed ? or in your chambers, at the least ? ❞ The Duke's voice remained soft, patient ; he couldn't scold perhaps as fiercely as many would have thought he ought to when he himself was guilty of the same crimes ( which he hoped he had verbally step - sided far enough to avoid interrogation over ).                     What concerned him the most, however, was the fact that the littlest had gotten this far & not been stopped. Was his son simply that skilled in the craft of shadowing ? or did Richard need to inquire after those who should have been at watch in this ebony hours ?

       ( ♔. )          ;   I have heard little of this wonder  ;                     to hear of its existence as  TRUTH, well           ❞                     The Duke thoughtfully leans forward, blond & silver locks                                      sliding across his  contemplative look until they             are brushed away with a flicker of evident annoyance.                           As a faithful follower of the great Church from afar,                           the York found such a notion difficult to believe,                      for he knew the roots of its tales  &  those who had                                                passed  them through the  y e a r s.                      ❝ Tell me : have you lodgings for the night ?                          I am eager to hear more of your story, if you would                          share it & it grows to darker hours as we speak. ❞              The father of Kings offers with a light smile,                    knowing well that his persuasive influence would convince                                         his sons to permit this most curious of guests.

& maryplantagenet ;

       ( ♔. )          ;   & it was a time he could not escape, no matter his wanderings or attempts to flee into his rose garden if only to stand among the perfumed rows & wonder.                                                             when ? & how ?                   Oh, he had seen such sights these years that would dull the strongest of men & steal their very breath ! The heart of the aged figure wept for the  SON  slain for treachery, the  SON  fallen from illness & the  THIRD  yet who had stepped past too many bounds for comfort to place himself upon the ill - fated seat known as the King's throne. Each had given their respect to the phantom - like, yet still dignified & uniquely powerful, form of their reminiscing father, but Richard, the once - Third Duke of York, could not find his solace in such.                               perhaps the old Lion was downed, some murmured.                    Mayhaps he thought this himself as he trudged forward, bundled against the chill of a fading dawn as a silhouette beneath strips of pale pink & yellow. Richard, lost to the soothing remembrances of those younger years he so oft retreated to in his obstinate silence, failed to note a second shadow ; for the moment, he had no notion that another may be approaching.

"Is there… something you wish to  say?” A few lingering gazes, she  could feel each and everyone.  Sayuri felt it best to at least approach one of the gawkees. 

       ( ♔. )          ;   The English Duke clears his throat a little,                     looking her over with a  p a t i e n t  gaze with                                        guarded wonder. This land is so foreign to he,                     so vibrant in a way that severely differs from the stone &                     state affairs that dominate his world.                           ❝           pardon my staring.                                         I am simply  .  .                                                 ahh            overwhelmed. ❞                                         Richard shifts the weight on his leg, leaning                           into his cane at his side with a  PROUD  expression                                                turned nearly sheepish at his confession.
