Been thinking bout how if a fandom is obscure on here, then people in that fandom tend not to post ab it bc "no one else would get it". Like, obscurity breeds obscurity ig, so there are prolly more fans of stuff out there than we can know. Actually new idea for this post: every time you see this post, make a quick post ab your least known fandom/interest

The Worst Attraction in Every State

[fleurdufeu]

I feel like it’s important to mention for those who don’t know the plot of Ladyhawke that not only does Ètienne de Navarre turn into a wolf every night, his lady love is turned into a hawk every day and is only a woman at night, and they are therefore cursed to never be human at the same time except for an instant during their transformations at dawn and dusk.

Very romantic Star Crossed lovers. And of course she’s the hawk he’s majestically riding around with in all the pictures.

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

SECOND ROUND: 19th Tilt

Adhemar, Count of Anjou, A Knight's Tale (2001) VS. Ètienne de Navarre, Ladyhawke (1985)

Propaganda

Adhemar, Count of Anjou, A Knight's Tale (2001) Portrayed by: Rufus Sewell Defeated Opponents: - Sir Bowen [Dennis Quaid], Dragonheart (1996) - Robin Hood [Errol Flynn], The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

“Okay, I get it, he's a terrible person. He cheats at jousting, he's mean to his herald, he ranks women somewhere below trophies and horses. But reader, I DON'T CARE. I can't help it. I admit that when I was younger (and perhaps more sensible) it was all about William/Ulric and his charming smile. But Adhemar... I would commit CRIMES for this man. Those eyes, the cheekbones, the glower! Do I think I could fix him? No. But, god, we could make each other worse!”

Ètienne de Navarre, Ladyhawke (1985) Portrayed by: Rutger Hauer Defeated Opponents: - Prince John [Richard Lewis], Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) - Sultan Mehmed II [Cem Yiğit Üzümoğlu], Rise of Empires: Ottoman (2020-2022)

“Etienne of Navarre is as devoted to his lady as he is powerful and vicious, despite a curse that keeps them eternally apart. Also, he has a gorgeous horse and turns into a big wolf. What's not to love?”

Additional Propaganda

For Count Adhemar:

For Ètienne de Navarre:

“This man has the strongest "late medieval romantic poem protagonist" energy I have ever SEEN.”

“He was my first childhood crush and I never knew whether I wanted to be him or [REDACTED] him. He transforms into a wolf at night! He's handsome, and gentle, and chivalrous!”

SECOND ROUND: 29th Tilt

Gu Tingye, The Story of Minglan (2018) VS. Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe (1982)

Propaganda

Gu Tingye, The Story of Minglan (2018) Portrayed by: Feng Shaofeng Defeated Opponents: - Gündoğdu Bey [Kaan Taşaner], Resurrection: Ertuğrul {Diriliş: Ertuğrul} (2014-2019) - Sir Henry “Hotspur” Percy [Joe Armstrong], The Hollow Crown (2012-2016)

“Clever, kind, and loyal. Smart-ass of THE CENTURY. He puts up with no shit, plays a mean game of polo, kicks ass in war, and loves his wife only *slightly* less than he loves his children. He is sharp and sassy and sexy as hell--like a kind of Chinese James Spader. Hot Husband with a double capital "H".

Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe (1982) Portrayed by: Anthony Andrews Defeated Opponents: - King Edward III Plantagenet [Blake Ritson], A World Without End (2012) - Sir Guy of Gisborne [Michael Wincott], Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1990)

Another illustration for #amonhenart2024. The theme is visions. I couldn't decide between several themes, so I finally painted this illustration, inspiration by "Leaf by Niggle" story.

Dinosaur (and mastodon) necromancy features PROMINENTLY in the climax of the third book of Tamora Pierce’s Immortals Quartet, Emperor Mage. 10/10 would recommend.

Dear necromancers, why would you bother summoning human corpses when dinosaurs are an option

My new illustrated The Silmarillion is very very pretty and I’m currently sitting on my bed with it and also The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and I think I may currently bear a worrying resemblance to Smaug atop his treasure

I’m a bad christmas shopper because while I find good gifts for everyone on my list I can’t help but also buy gifts for myself.
