Last time I reblog this, promise!

MOVING TO MAIN ACCOUNT: @brassandblue

I am tired of side blogs for multiple characters so, that’s a thing. 

Arthur’s new home will be at @brassandblue !! I’m still keeping this blog for age of sail (and other things) overflow, but it’s going to be largely an aesthetic blog now.

I’m sorry to all of you re: tags and asks. I think it’s just better this way and will cut down on confusion.

Finally, if you don’t want to follow that blog, no hard feelings! I understand.

And if you have any questions, please DM me. I don’t bite! :D

Send “😣” to find my muse stressing out about something.

Or send “😣 + reverse” for the opposite! 

(If you cannot see the emoji send “Stressed”)

Definitely keeping this blog for overflow but all rp would be done on brassandblue.

ooc;

I think I’m going to make THIS account a multimuse and retire some of my  other accounts. I’ll just have to move profiles and resources and such to this blog and consolidate the tags.

What do you all think? Any advice from the multimuse folk I follow? Much appreciated!!

Tie the knot…

Gentleman’s Essentials

[ruledthewaves]

“Lesser men have been my king,” Arthur said plainly, approaching so he could stand by him and even lean on the desk a little. “Besides that, I have the utmost faith in you, and my Navy has been my strength for hundreds of years. The words will come and you’re going to sound brilliant.” He smiled thoughtfully down at Bertie, looking very fond.

“You know me, I don’t flatter the people I care about, so you can trust me on this. David, on the other hand, may lose one or more teeth if I have to spend too much time with him in the same room. You can throw me in the Tower if I do,” Arthur laughed. “I’ll have no regrets.”

Arthur planted himself firmly where he was and clasped his hands at his back. He wanted to remain firm, as a matter of duty and personal pride, but having a bit of an ill temper himself, he still wished to give Albert a little room to breathe.

“To you. To me. To all of us. I’ve seen men abandon their posts for less. You have every right to be as angry as you are. Perhaps it may be better to back away from the paper for a few minutes. You aren’t angry at our people, you’re angry with your brother. The words will come,” he added firmly, reassuringly. 

He wanted to also add that it was a wiser choice, in his opinion, to have Bertie rule rather than David, but that was probably the last thing the monarch wanted to hear at the moment.

Albert grumbled something under his breath, murmuring along the lines of ‘They have not abandoned him’, which to be fair to the man, there had been protests and he had even received threats. He did at least take his advice and pulled the pen from the paper, setting it down heavily on his desk and then running his hands down his face.

“I –need the -words -to –come sooner than most.” He commented, dreading what lay ahead for him and his family, internally cursing David. “I need –to -practice them.” He added on almost as explanation but he had wanted his words to come from the heart because unlike his brother, Albert truly loved the people under the crown, the only problem was that he could not let go of his brother’s decision to throw him to the wolves.

“–I -never imagined this would –have -come about.” He mused and pulled his hands from his face to look to Arthur. His father had become first in line through tragedy, but he at least had time to prepare. Perhaps Albert was still in some sort of denial or shock about the situation which had always been a very real possibility had tragedy struck the family again. “I am a –naval officer, not a —k-king.”

“Yeeted by the sun and dragged by the ocean,” Arthur laughed.

“I came, I saw, I Tweeted. Absolute power corrupts content creation,” he added, then regretted it and shook his head.

“Humanity is both endearing and maddening that way. I’d hate to live without the internet again though.” As much as he liked disconnecting and going sailing or camping away from electronics, an Internet-free life would be hideously restrictive. “Shame it’s not used more educationally.”

Arthur tilted his head thoughtfully. One day at a time, sometimes one hour, one minute, the flow of time liked to bend where a week felt like centuries and a decade went by in months, and the real trick was figuring out how to endure it all.

His lips quirked at her last comment and his mouth split into a very amused grin.��“Crossing the Rubicon, hashtag YOLO.”

“Ohhhh!” Thera scrunched her nose, pretending to shiver. “Darling Caesar. Not someone I got along with at all.” The remark might have given an impression that she’d known the Emperor well, but that wasn’t the case; conflict had been prompt from their first meeting and insight definitely not sought by either side.

As for enduring … that was another reason she spent so much time on education, it was inspiring and something to do. But then she smirked, chuckling a little. “So, Icarus got yeeted by the sun?”
