Happy holiday's and happy new year from all of us here at TLK Kingdom Source. We hope you're all enjoying yourselves huddled around your Yule logs, or gathered around sharing presents, eating all the sweet treats, or doing whatever it you do at this time.

It has been amazing to start this blog this year, and so nice to see all of your wonderful creations for our Alfred event. Next year, we already have planned two larger events and possibly a few smaller ones to commemorate battles and other important things.

Next year, of course, will be 10 years since The Last Kingdom season 1 aired on BBC (yes, it was BBC first!). We do plan to host an event around October to celebrate, as well as a few others that we will reveal in time.

In the meantime, have a warm, safe, happy holiday and a happy new year from all of us here. Don't let the Danes raid your little towns and steal all your presents!

if a show is trying to be historically accurate then it better have employed the best historians and researchers and have everything fact checked….

on the other hand, if they are throwing historical accuracy to the wind and saying ‘fuck it, the Tudor princess is going to say ‘Slay Queen’ and they’re all going to do the cha cha slide’ then i am on board

SECOND ROUND: 23rd Tilt

Erik Thurgilson, The Last Kingdom (2015-2022) VS. Faramir, Son of Denethor, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)

Propaganda

Erik Thurgilson, The Last Kingdom (2015-2022) Portrayed by: Christian Hillborg Defeated Opponents: - Much [Sam Troughton], BBC’s Robin Hood (2006-2009) - Prince Aemond Targaryen [Ewan Mitchell], House of the Dragon (2022-)

“Few things are hotter than watching the callous Dane facade drop like a rock in record time after being confronted with the smart, strong, vulnerable Saxon Princess he’s *supposed* to be holding for ransom. There’s just something irresistibly sexy about seeing all pretense of ambitious indifference fall away to reveal the tenderness and kindness a man like that can be capable of without sacrificing his fearsomeness. Just gives you shivers.”

Faramir, Son of Denethor, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003) Portrayed by: David Wenham Defeated Opponents: - Richard Cypher [Craig Horner], Legend of the Seeker (2008-2010) - Uther Pendragon [Gabriel Byrne], Excalibur (1981)

“THE prince of the series. Even though the movies did him a bit dirty, Faramir is still THE guy of all time. He puts up with so much, but never wavers. He is stalwart, he is clever, he is gentle. He is adored by all (except, his dad of course), and puts his men above himself every time. He is just as capable of fighting for you as he is reading to you in that soft voice that quivers with deep, deep emotion. He is, quite simply, flawless.”

For Erik Thurgilson:

"Behold the Micro expressions of a man whose priorities in life have just been completely upended:

If you told me that Christian Hillborg’s acting direction here was “Illustrate the phrase ‘caught feelings’”, I would believe you."

For Faramir:

“He's sweet, he's emotional, he's pure, he goes around in a hooded cloak and shoots arrows (hot)!”

Aldhelm's Brooch

Handmade by me, from Super Sculpey polymer clay, and painted with acrylic paints to resemble antique bronze. It measures 3 inches (10cm) in diameter. I sculpted onto a watchglass so I could get a curvature. The watchglass was removed after baking. It took me approximately 25 hours from start to finish.

A lot of fans talk about wanting a replica of Uhtred's sword. However, I wanted something more personal and meaningful to me. I had been planning to make this brooch for over a year now, and finally had the time and motivation to do so.

Progress photos and reference screenshots below the Keep Reading.

Progress photos. I rolled out the clay and molded it onto a watchglass. Then I printed out my sketch and used a pin to pinpoint the locations of the main features (the little spheres). Afterwards, it was just a lot of fiddly sculpting work to create the details. This was 100% done by hand; I did not use any molds or pre-created forms for this.

Painted version in indoor lighting.

Screencaps of the brooch. And you can see what I had to work with here, lol. Weird fact: his brooch changed color over the seasons! It was shiny gold colored in season 3, silver in season 4, and antique bronze in season 5. Don't know why it changed so much. Aldhelm's brooch is very unique and particular to him. He had a standard large bronze Mercian boar brooch in season 2, just like Aethelred, but for some reason that was changed to this one in season 3. It seemed to coincide with the change in his apparent personality, so I wonder if it was intentional or not?
