it’s OKAY if you take awhile to reply.

it’s OKAY if you can’t find the muse for a thread or ask right now.

it’s OKAY if you can’t find the muse for a thread or ask ever.

it’s OKAY to drop threads.

it’s OKAY to be selective when roleplaying.

it’s OKAY to ship, or to not ship, something.

it’s OKAY to miss a reply.

it’s OKAY to take a break when life outside of tumblr calls.

My name is Mary and I think you know quite a bit about me considering we've talked in the past but... while my parents were visiting Canterbury cathedral I apparently dragged myself across where Thomas Beckett was killed (bear in mind I couldn’t walk yet, even at about two) and then was blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury on Canterbury’s high alter. Within about a year I started walking with the help of a walker.

            She flexed the pale fingers of her left hand, contemplating reaching out. Surely, it was no easy thing         to hear that your fate was one of death and betrayal. And yet, it was what he must hear.   The wheels         of  fate  were  turning against him and the need to FIGHT as he had never fought before must be born         within him! Her palm grasped onto his arm, soft but demanding to be felt.   This was no waking dream;         no feverish vision.   It was not Richard’s sword - his grasp on it true - that would keep him grounded in          this reality. 

             ❝ What should I - or anyone - care for a wrathful God? There is enough cruelty in this world as is.         I do not answer to to such a power as that, nor should any man. Be the Almighty loving and kind, then         He will forgive the sword I would pit against His. ❞ She drew away then, the flames of the fire igniting         in her irises. Did this man not deserve the same fighting chance as the other? ❝ As I have lived by my         faith, Highness - so would I die by it. ❞

            Nimue left the light of the fire, feet carrying her towards the long wooden table where it lay wrapped         in linens. Even she was frightened of the power held by this blade - Cut Steel, as it’s true name meant.         An entire kingdom had been built upon the weight of it,  the fortune of a man made from it and brought         to r u i n at the threat of having it taken away.  Her fingers wrapped around the hilt, pulling it from it’s         makeshift sheath. How it whistled! How it glinted in the flickering light!

            ❝ This is Exaclibur; forged in the heart of Avalon with meteorite iron. It is the sword of legend - a         sword for legends.❞ She flicked her wrist, moving to cradle the hilt and blade between her two palms         before presenting it to the King of England. ❝ As Lady of the Lake it is my right to bestow it on whom         I choose.❞ The blonde took a single step forward.

           ❝ You will carry this sword into battle with the one you hold now, but be careful you do not draw it         too soon. When you are betrayed -  when the day seems lost -  you must use it then.  Do this and I         promise you that victory is assured. Will you claim this sword and rule as King? ❞

        GENTLE TOUCHES CAUSED Richard to glance down, eyeing the contact            cautiously.     His mind seemed to be racing a thousand miles a minute ; unable to            concentrate on one singular thing as she continued her speech.   Her words to him            seemed blasphemous, heretical,                   yet he made no comment other than a            disapproving glance in her direction as he listened to her. In a better frame of mind,            he knew he would have  commented on such an offence — but the  thought of God            choosing Tudor, of imminent betrayal,     seemed to dull anything else in his world.            He had to plan. He had to make ready.

           Besides,      Richard had little chance to speak as she disappeared to the wooden            table. Blue orbs followed her as she moved about the room,   and for the first time            did he notice the object by her side.     His brows furrowed as she unsheathed the            blade, and he silently remarked upon the beauty of it.  Trained eyes easily caught            the mastery of  the weapon ; the expert hand  that must  have forged  such a gem.            Without thought, he stepped forward, and—

           ❛ Excalibur? ❜ Richard remarked,        eyes widening as he was able to study the            weapon with greater clarity as it was brought to him.    He felt like a young boy of            ten again, running about the gardens with his elder brothers and oh,   how he had            dreamed to hold such a weapon! To hold this weapon!    He carefully grabbed the            hilt and took the weapon from her,       feeling the differences from his own sword            as he assessed the weight.       He dropped down onto his knees then, bowing his            head as he carefully held his treasure.           ❛ I will do as you have commanded,            milady. I shall prove worthy of this sword. I swear it. ❜

JUNE 11 | TODAY IN HISTORY - BIRTH OF QUEEN ANNE NEVILLE

June 11, 1456 - Warwick Castle, England - Anne Neville was born to Countess of Warwick Anne de Beauchamp and Earl of Warwick Richard Neville. She would be their second daughter and last child. Anne went from being born a daughter of the most powerful Lord in England to a key player during the period of English history that became known as The Wars of the Roses. Born a Yorkish, her loyalties changed hands when her father broke from the Yorkish King Edward IV and married her to King Henry VI’s son and heir, Prince of Wales Edward of Lancaster. Her life as Princess of Wales was short lived with the Princes’ and Henry VI’s deaths which brought her back into Yorkish standing. Legend has it that she became a kitchen-maid for a short stint while her brother-in-law George Duke of Clarence hid her so that she would not be able to marry his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester with whom she had been betrothed to as a child. Despite some struggles, Anne and Richard were married and she became his Duchess before becoming his Queen and Queen Consort of England. Anne had only one child, Edward of Middleham who died almost a year prior to her. Anne died at the age of 28, from a wasting disease during a total eclipse of the sun. King Richard III, Anne’s husband died five months later at the Battle of Bosworth Field marking an end to The Wars of the Roses. Not much information has survived concerning Anne and in many ways she is a Queen hidden in the shadows of history…

J U N E   1 1 ,   1 4 5 6 | Birth of Queen Consort of England, Anne Neville

Anne Neville’s life saw many titles; Lady, Princess of Wales, Dowager Princess of Wales, a kitchen-maid, Duchess of Gloucester and Queen Consort of England. Anne’s life was eclipsed by a bloody period of English history that became known as The Wars of the Roses. A battle that started a few years before her birth and ended five months after her death with the death of her husband, King Richard III. Her own life ending during a total eclipse of the sun when she was aged 28 from a wasting sickness. Anne’s legacy went on to give her such titles as “Shadow” and even was painted as a “Victim” but though her historical record is sparse her legend still reverberated to this day … her birthday. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN ANNE NEVILLE.

Portrayal Meme Thing: You picked some pretty big shoes to fill but, if I do say so myself, you do it WONDERFULLY. There's so much about Richard - the good, the bad and especially the gray area. The fact that you recognize and utilize all of it in your writing is an amazing thing. You're one of my favorite historical rp blogs - definitely top three, dear. 10/10 I salute you and your work. Just keep being amazing~

i’m— what? i do not feel worthy of such praise from thee! you are literal perfection in the form of the lady of the lake and i admire you so much for your writing abilities. thank you so much for this!! n wn i always get worried that i’m not getting richard right ; that i’m making him too nice, putting him in situations and making him respond wrongly, or something like that, but the fact i made it so high into your list makes me feel like i can’t be doing that badly. thank you so much, you absolute cupcake.
