I started this project with the idea of using the Disney Princess aesthetic as an irony to highlight how awesome Tamora Pierce’s heroes are. Halfway through I realised I wasn’t exactly sure WHAT I was saying anymore. Disney’s great. Tamora Pierce is great.
Though obviously constrained somewhat by the Disney aesthetic, I tried to have the dresses also reflect their wearers character a little: for more details on my choices about age and costumes etc, see their individual posts.
As for the hordes of awesome Tortallverse women I HAVEN’T depicted, they’re going to have to wait for another time. Getting nine of these done was work enough. (P.S I love Emelan-verse just as much as Tortall-verse in case there’s any doubt).
Enjoy! it took me rather longer than I’d care to admit…
I think it was @emilykaldwen who did an OC DNA (of characters that the OC has vibes of) and I got late night thoughts for the Boleyn-Tudor-Cromwell kids and:
Tommy
George
William (Liam)
Margaret (Meg)
Owen
Edmund
Pippa
Astrology + music: Olivia Rodrigo ♓ Sun in Pisces ♓ (for @silversmists)
Pisces is symbolised by two fishes swimming in opposite directions: this represents the star sign's internal struggle between reality and illusion. People born under this sign are imaginative, compassionate, and sensitive. The companion playlist contains a collection of dreamy and ethereal songs that portray the artistic nature of Pisces.
This is, maybe, one of the best scenes in the later seasons AND ALSO. I will never get over brunette CJ.
Now, the real question is, whose vibe is so rank they've got all three Tudor kids plus (presumably) Edward Seymour looking at them like that?
First look photos of 'My Lady Jane'!
I spent an amazing 7 months working on this. Check it out when it airs on Amazon Prime on 27th June! :D
I love AO3 notifications that are just, like, one person leaving kudos on all your work.
Like, thank you for binge-reading my silly little stories.
I cannot describe how much I love it when someone does it - and I know a few of you reading this absolutely have.
And then? The feeling of when someone does it through the different fandoms. All the fandoms. Including the ones that they sometimes don't know and so they leave the comment, "I have never actually seen/read/heard of this canon, but you make me want to" which is just ::SWOON::
Actual roman epitaph for a dog
humans are the same
I’ve seen this one doing the rounds a few times (and it makes me cry every time I see it), but was curious about the original Latin text, so I did some digging: it’s a shortened version of CIL 10, 00659, a tombstone from Salernum (modern Salerno, Italy). (source; CIL is the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum).
Portaui lacrimis madidus te, nostra catella,
Quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus.
Ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis oscula mille
Nec poteris collo grata cubare meo.
Tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem
Et iunxi semper manib(us) ipse meis
Morib(us) argutis hominem simulare paratam,
Perdidimus quales hei mihi delicias.
Tu, dulcis Patrice, nostras attingere mensas
Consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos,
Lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas,
Quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus,
Accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter
And here’s my translation:
Wet with tears I have carried you, our little (female) dog, just as I did in happier times fifteen years earlier (lit. “three periods of five years). For myself, Patrice, now you will not give me a thousand kisses nor will you be able to lie lovingly around/against my neck. I have sorrowfully placed you, merit-worthy, in a marble tomb and I have joined you always to myself in death, as by your cleverness you matched a human. Alas, we lost such pleasures for myself! You, sweet Patrice, were accustomed to join us at our table, to beg charmingly for food (while sitting in our) laps. You were in the habit of greedily licking our cups with your tongue, which my hands often held for you. Frequently and joyfully (you) receive a weary one with your (wagging) tail...
tl;dr: this dog was named Patrice and was very, very loved. (another translation with some glossing of the text.)
