Milestone Monday

On this date, September 9, in 1543, Mary Stuart, at nine months old, was crowned "Queen of Scots" in the central Scottish town of Stirling, and would remain queen until her forced abdication in 1567. A tragic figure, Mary would ultimately be executed in 1587 as a threat to the reign of her regal cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. Mary's courage at her execution helped establish her popular image as the heroic victim in a dramatic tragedy.

To commemorate the occasion of Mary's infant coronation, we present plates from John Skelton’s 1893 work Mary Stuart, Skelton’s third work on Mary, Queen of Scots, all advocating for a sympathetic view of Mary as a heroic victim. Mary Stuart was printed and published in an edition of 200 copies for Europe (with an additional 100 “with a duplicate series of plates … for America”) by Boussod, Valadon & Co. in Asnières-sur-Sein, a township in Île-de-France just north-west of Paris.

Coronation Of The Siren:

Long story short, Ronald McDonald had married The Siren, Astraea Kyllini. Yet, in 1987, Astraea's mother, Melusine II, had succumbed to an illness. Consequently, Astraea had to become the new Queen Of Siren's Island.

As for Ronald, he had to be Prince Consort. That he didn't mind for he was humble in that aspect. What he (and his wife) was sad about was that now he and Astraea have to have their marriage be long-distanced. All while visits being far and in between due to her duty to Siren's Island and his duties to McDonaldland.

Still, for the sake of the ceremony and all involved, both Ronald and Astraea kept a brave face.

Wait! So William and Kate and the kids arrived late to kings Charles coronation meaning they weren’t originally supposed to walk behind him?!

I know I take ages to answer messages but I assure everyone this was sent today and not when it actually happened. There were reports they were late, then reports Charles and Camilla were actually early, then reports that it was a bit of both. They improvised and it was fine.

THE MYSTERY OF HENRY GREY, DUKE OF SUFFOLK'S HEAD

Ancient Aliens (2009) Aliens and Mysterious Rituals

S3E5

Throughout the world, ancient rites and rituals are believed to connect humans to another dimension. But just who..or what - are we communicating with? Could today's rituals, such as festivals, coronations and funerals, be based on early man's attempts to emulate ancient alien visitors? If so, what other ancient rituals might find their roots in a kingdom...not of this world?

Always Favors You

Another Sibling Danny and Jason idea!!

"Are you Jason Peter Todd?!" demanded a deep and commanding tone from the strange glowing being in front of them.

All the Bats stiffened and tensed, no doubt gearing up for a fight against the being that somehow knew Red Hood's full name.

Jason, Red Hood, decided to put on a brave front despite no doubt cursing in his head and wondering how the heck did this thing know his full freaking name.

"Whose asking." he snarled out, his hands twitching for his gun when the huge glowing knight with purple flames coming out of his helmet and cape, who was riding on a nightmare looking horse while they all had been in the cave going over tonight's patrol.

The Knight didn't seemed bothered by his response nor did he even seem to care or flinch when Batman made his own demand on 'Why was he there and who was he' or when Damian unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards him. Instead the strange glowing Knight reached to it side and pulled out... A glowing scroll? Huh. (Also he completely unnerved everyone in the room when the Knight didn't even react when Batman had tossed a Baterang when he reached for his side)

The Knight opened the scroll and spoke clearly with purpose.

"Jason Peter Todd,

You are hereby invited as a special guest of honor to the crowning of our future King of the Infinite Realms.

Daniel Phantom, once Daniel Jackson Fenton, and once Daniel Austen Todd.

Prince of the Infinite Realms, the Keeper of Balance, The Peacekeeping Halfa, the Defeater of the Tyrant King Pariah Dark, The Great One, Youngest of the Ancients, Ancient of Space, The Bridge between Life and Death.

You, the half-brother of our King, have been given the highest of honors for your past actions and will be given housing and food in the Realms and Phantom's Keep, for the week long event. Personal servants and attendants will be at your disposal and a seamstress will be on hand to tailor make your attire for the Coronation.

Signed: Clockwork. Ancient of Time. Watcher of the Infinite Timeline. Kronos. Mentor and Adviser.

PS: I shall have Fright Knight ("Me" the Knight bluntly said for a second) leave this scroll along with a personal one for you from Daniel to read over and once you make up your mind sign the bottom of the scroll.

I do hope in time you will pick the right choice Jason Todd, we of the Infinite Realms would like to reward you for your actions. After all, if you hadn't gotten young Daniel away from your father that night all those years ago, we would never had gained our Prince nor be free from our once Tyrant King.

Ah, one more thing.

The Infinite Realms will always favor you Jason."

Jason felt like he couldn't breath as Fright Knight? Rolled up the scroll, pulled a letter from his side, and held out the two items for him to take.

Catherine has no right walking into Wabbey looking like she could rule the whole world in a flower crown. Imagine looking like that in robes, I would look like ai was wearing an oodie and some bedsheets

I just found this ask from the coronation. Apologies! I think I’d look great in robes, personally, but I would be unable to wear them without swooshing them around me like a b movie Dracula haha

Deja Vu

A lot can change in a year, but some things stay the same (such as Strike being obnoxiously gay for the worst guy possible)
