Dark! Platonic Father! Saladin x Reader x Dark! Baldwin IV

You are the only daughter of Sultan Salah El -Din Al Ayoubi.

And his favourite child.

How can he not favor you when you were the only child who shamelessly climbed on his back while he prayed, demanding that he plays with you.

You also started writing poems at the age of twelve to praise your father's bravery in battles.

Not only that, but you were religious and well behaved, and always obey his orders because you know he only wants the best for you.

Even though you were considered the most beautiful woman when you reached eighteen, no man dared to voice out such a thing.

One man tried to voice out such words, and the next thing he was whipped one hundred times.

You received many suitors, but they were all rejected.

Since the peace treaty with the Crusaders, you thought it would be a good idea to go on a pilgrimage.

But you did not expect that everyone with you would get killed and you would be taken as a hostage.

All because of Reynald de chatillon.

Of course the Christian king wasn't happy about that, and ordered that Reynald de chatillon be hanged.

Especially after he saw how you were bruised and beaten up.

Knowing very well that this might lead to war.

Baldwin had the best physicians treat your wounds and the best food be presented to you.

He made sure you are well taken care of...however, you were too afraid to eat or drink.

Only wanting to return back to your father.

Which made Baldwin have the soldiers bring you to his chambers to try to convince you that he means no harm.

"I wish to return to my father"

"Reynald de chatillon will face death for what he has done"

"Thank you, you are just and kind"

After those sentences are exchanged between you both, you start trusting him.

You two would play chess and converse about different subjects.

What surprised him is your knowledge about different fields like philosophy, medicine, and astronomy.

You are beautiful, intelligent, kind and virtuous...all the traits that makes a perfect wife.

How unfortunate, that he can't take you as a wife for many reasons.

The Leper King decided to give you a gift to remember him by, and that is a golden crescent necklace.

In, the end, you were returned back to your father safe and sound.

There are also various options for you to choose from:

[csnk]

I pray you'll pull back your cavalry and leave this matter to me. I pray you retire unharmed to Damascus. Raynald of Châtillon will be punished, I swear it. Withdraw or we will all die here.

Feel like if I was in Destiny I would want to do so many silly little things. List of silly things i should be allowed to do in Destiny:

Walk up to any Legionary I find and give them a BFF macaroni bracelet.

Paint a ring of little stars around Zavala's normal spot.

Slap a cheese slice onto Immaru.

Ask Rhulk what his favorite eye is.

Give Crow a new shiny rock every day.

Hand Eramis a post-it that says 'Varks the Coil' with a doodle of Variks as a spring before promptly walking away

Swear loyalty to sweeper bot

Leave a rubber duck for Eido whenever I visit her

Bake a cake for Saint and Osiris that have little phoenix and pigeon cake toppers

Leave Banshee encouraging notes everyday with the dates on them as well as my name

Glue the queen chess piece all over the ceilings of buildings in Sav's throne world

Propose to Xûr

Say hi to Drifter everyday for a month at the same time and each time I do so I put on another piece of armor similar to his own until I look like a bootleg version of him

Sling an arm over Shaxx's shoulder while wearing stilts that make me taller than him and go 'You remind me of myself when I was your age', sigh wistfully while looking out at the City, and leave

Marry Xûr

Make a gorgeous sweater for Saladin that says 'Salad Man'

Attempt to serenade Orin. I fail, of course, but in response I take a bite out of the instrument (it was actually chocolate) while keeping eye contact with her

Draw Clovis Bray as an angry clover and send him the message 'Clover Bray' each day consistently

Tell Spider I have very valuable information and it's just what my favorite constellation is and the type of stars said constellation has in it

I think that's it at the moment.

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

SECOND ROUND: 18th Tilt

Arthur Pendragon, BBC’s Merlin (2008-2012) VS. Saladin, Arn: The Knight Templar (2007)

Propaganda

Arthur Pendragon, BBC’s Merlin (2008-2012) Portrayed by: Bradley James Defeated Opponents: - Arondir [Ismael Cruz Cordova], The Rings of Power (2022-) - Prince Henry [Dougray Scott], Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)

“His sword twirl is reason enough, but there's also his penchant for wandering around shirtless, his megawatt smile, and his blue, sad baby eyes. He's both arrogant and unsure, emotionally constipated but loves fiercely, and he's always trying to be better even when he has to pretend he thinks he's the best.”

Saladin, Arn: The Knight Templar (2007) Portrayed by: Milind Soman Defeated Opponents: - Fezzik [Andre the Giant], The Princess Bride (1987) - Jon Snow [Kit Harrington], Arn: The Knight Templar (2007)

“Saladin is a warrior, a good leader, and an honorable foe. Everyone’s favorite history crush, and he looks like that. Plus, Arn is a great miniseries and more people should see it.”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Arthur Pendragon:

“The jawline! A complete idiot but also loyal and brave!”

“Your honor I'm always downbad for blonde himbos. Gwen's a lucky girl.”

For Saladin:

“Saw these movies as a teen and Saladin was the best thing about them. His screen presence made the films worth watching. Not to mention he's so fucking hot.”

In KoH and in history too. 😂

A friend said something to me and then—

[brattytenshi]

INTERVIEW Q-R56 Subject: Unshackled NOAH NHP, after incident at Ras Shamra which left 20 fatalities of legionnaires; 18 by suffocation, 2 by crushing pressure.

NOAH: The rain never stops, oh it will continue-

Q: The cycling program will take place twenty minutes from now. Give us your reasoning, and I'll have it postponed by a day.

N: ...The drowned.

Q: Your casualties.

N: I saved them from the hateful rain, that which cleanses the ground and rip through the clouds. For when they drown they can never touch the surface and feel it pour against their skin. Lovely. A thought pattern...

Q: Is that so? A protocol you enact to... protect your allies?

N: The drowned, a philosophy of the drowned.

After cycling, the copy of NOAH was terminated to ensure stability in later copies (Correction: similar instabilities have made themselves known. It may be permanent.)

Quick drawings with Saladin to improve my skill. Why is he in bed? The answer is simple, I drew this at night, sleepy but motivated to create + lately I like to draw sleeping Saladin, I think it's cute😄

[chicken-blitz13]

ALRIGHT, IM DONE!!!

AHHHHH this was a little big project I had in a while- I used to do these types of art sgdgdsg but anyway, it's been awhile since I've drawn these two.

I decided to give Baldwin a helmet-crown for ✨safety purposes✨

I tried to make the horse tack semi accurate for the time but umm I forgot to do a proper bridle so funny time traveling horse tack are my favorite genre in medieval documentaries and movies hehehe

I have to crunch the quality for this so DA link.

So I saw a comment by @aurianavaloria in @somethingstrangeishere post (who is also drawing them playing polo together, I'm so excited to see this one!)

Also i used a reference

(Also fun fact, medieval horse saddles can injure or kill you, if you're unlucky)

Re-drawing of Koh Saladin

The KoH costume department was amazing but I think they missed by making him wear mostly black. On that note, I present our king in pthalo-green and pearls
