Meraaaaa..... do you have any more camboy Azul thoughts? (If so please share I'm on my knees rn)🥲🥲

I always have more thoughts for him!!! >v<

As far as the fic goes, he’s the most extreme version of Azul next to clingy, codependent boyfriend Azul. ^^;;; camboy Azul goes to very criminal lengths for his darling. In the fic, he dresses in a lot of frills and pastels for his streams, and he uses a specific cosmetics brand he’s very fond of, which shows up quite often and is aptly named Sugar Sweetheart (also the name of the fic hehe). I like to imagine this is an Azul in his hot pink femme fatale era. <3

Outside of camming, he's a waiter at a five-star restaurant. Sadly, this Azul isn’t as successful as other Azuls discussed on the blog. >_< his dreams of opening his own restaurant were somewhat compromised when he weighed what he wanted career-wise versus what he wanted relationship-wise (with darling), and he made some foolish time investments. So now he works at a restaurant and stews in hatred every shift because this is what he wanted, and he doesn't have it! >:(

He's terribly greedy and scarily obsessed with you. On the screen, he's sweet and versatile, adapting to the tastes of so many viewers. His smiles are bright, his eyes are pretty, and he's built from the dreams and fantasies of those who tune in to watch him. He covers every imperfection with makeup, so you'll never see the dark circles under his eyes or the parts of his body he deems unsightly.

He's a brilliant actor, and yet he's never been able to fool you. But then he doesn't want to. You're the love of his life, one way or another, and he can't hide his ugly, dangerous sides from you forever.

Last year I got diagnosed with heightened insulin resistance. Not diabetes level, but higher than it should be. One of the consequences I took was to drastically decrease my sugar intake. Which, BY THE WAY, was already below average for my country. Not that my doctor would believe me. Anyway.

Some observations, since what actually happened is so different from what articles on the internet will tell you:

Starting in November was a bad idea. It went well until Christmas. Starting again in March was more successful. Sorry for posting this now lol. Not keeping this in my drafts until spring.

You get used to less sugar over time. Sweet things start to taste more sweet. Things easily taste too sweet.

Eventually sugar isn't as desirable anymore as it was. I started noticing this after about 5 months, so it took a while. It's not like YouTubers claim "Oh my life changed within a month, I feel so different!" I think that's probably a placebo effect tbh, but maybe their metabolisms adapt more quickly? Idk. I feel like I make more of a conscious decision if I want to eat something sweet now, because my brain doesn't have the "OMG YES HAPPINESS IN THE FORM OF A COOKIE!! YOU SHOULD TAKE IT!" response anymore but rather an "It's an option" response.

Having one day a week where you're allowed candy helps. I make a little ritual out of it and look forward to it.

In practice I usually eat candy 2 days a week. In July it was down to 3 days a week, so maybe I'll reach "1 day a week" eventually.

I have also started mixing whole-grain rice (expensive! Whole grain long grain is a bit cheaper than whole-grain basmati though) into my usual rice and baking bread with somewhat darker flour (type 550 instead of 405 ). It tastes and looks literally the same, but apparently it's better for you.

I do kinda "have more energy", as advertised. I get more done and feel less foggy mentally. Also, my blood sugar feels more stable. When I can't get food at my usual time, it's not as big a deal as it used to be, but I don't really know if that's because of the sugar thing or due to something else.

I obviously haven't lost any weight lol, because only lucky people whose genetics and hormones make "thin" their default state think it's that easy. My skin also doesn't look better. Really I have noticed no cosmetic effect at all.

I have to pee less often at night, often not at all

My migraines are rarer than they used to be, but again, it's hard to tell if the sugar was the reason. A lot of things have changed over the last 1 1/2 years, and the migraine frequency started going down before my sugar intake did. But things have also improved markedly over the past half year, especially the last 2 months. I think this is the biggest benefit I have noticed.

I haven't been back for another blood test so far, so I don't know yet if this was effective in the first place. But at least it should be good for my teeth and for anti-cancer protection, right?

The general tl;dr is that it did change some things when I started eating less sugar, but the change was slow and non-dramatic. It didn't all become completely different after a few weeks. But now, after half a year, I look back and see that it has probably improved my life to eat less sugar.

In a distant future where the relics of the past stood as monuments to the resilience of human civilization, Kells Priory, an ancient site on Earth, had been transformed into a revered academy for the galaxy’s most talented artists and visionaries. Among them was Lyra, a young woman with the rare ability to manipulate light and color with a mere thought, making her a star pupil in cosmetic technologies—a field that combined ancient beauty techniques with futuristic science.

Lyra’s latest project was her most ambitious: a revolutionary cosmetic procedure that could alter one's appearance to reflect their emotions and thoughts, using bioluminescent compounds. She had developed a prototype that, when applied, made her eyes shimmer with a brilliant blue hue, reminiscent of Earth's ancient oceans, and her lips glimmer with a metallic gold that echoed the cosmic dust of the universe.

On the eve of the Galactic Symposium, held within the towering, ivy-clad walls of Kells Priory, Lyra was to present her invention. The attendees, beings from various planets, were eager to see her creation, rumored to blend the mystique of ancient Earth with the edge of interstellar technology.

As she prepared backstage, a mysterious figure approached her—a cloaked envoy from a distant star system, intrigued by her work. "Your technique," the envoy said, "could revolutionize communication across cultures. Imagine, expressions that not only convey but amplify our innermost feelings to each other, transcending language and species barriers."

Empowered by the envoy’s vision, Lyra stepped onto the stage, her appearance shifting subtly with her emotions—confidence radiated in sparkling azure, while her ambition glinted like gold. The audience was mesmerized as she explained her process, demonstrating how her cosmetics could be used not just for beauty, but as a powerful tool for empathy and understanding.

As the presentation concluded, the sky above Kells Priory lit up with stars, a rare clear night that seemed to celebrate her success. The ancient stones of the priory, witnesses to countless epochs, now stood testament to a new era where art and science melded to create a future both luminous and hopeful.

Lyra's invention went on to be celebrated not only for its beauty but for its ability to bridge the gaps between diverse galactic cultures, making her a pioneer of a new dawn where humanity’s ancient past and boundless future met in harmony.

Foods to Avoid and Embrace During Your Orthodontic Journey

Orthodontic treatment is a significant step towards achieving a healthy and beautiful smile. Whether you're a teenager or an adult, braces, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances can correct misaligned teeth and improve your overall oral health. To ensure the success of your orthodontic journey and minimize complications, it's crucial to make informed choices about the foods you eat. In this article, we'll discuss the foods to avoid and embrace during your orthodontic treatment, and how consulting a cosmetic dentist can enhance your journey.

The Importance of Diet During Orthodontic Treatment

Diet plays a pivotal role in the success of your orthodontic treatment. What you eat can either aid or hinder the progress of aligning your teeth. Orthodontic appliances like braces are delicate, and certain foods can damage or disrupt them. Maintaining a proper diet not only preserves your orthodontic appliances but also contributes to your overall oral health. Consulting with a cosmetic dentist can help you understand how diet influences the success of your orthodontic journey and how to maintain the aesthetics of your smile.

Foods to Avoid

Sticky and Chewy Treats: Gummy candies, caramels, and chewy sweets are a nightmare for braces wearers. They can get lodged in between the brackets and wires, making it difficult to clean and increasing the risk of cavities.

Hard Foods: Crunching on hard foods like nuts, popcorn, and ice can lead to broken brackets or wires. Avoid these snacks to prevent unnecessary orthodontic emergencies.

Sugary and Acidic Beverages: Carbonated sodas and sports drinks are high in sugar and acids that can erode tooth enamel and cause cavities. These are best avoided during orthodontic treatment to maintain a healthy and attractive smile.

Chewing Gum: Chewing gum can become a sticky mess in your braces, making it challenging to clean. It's better to refrain from gum during orthodontic treatment.

Foods to Embrace

Soft Foods: Opt for a diet that includes soft foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies. These are gentle on your braces and reduce the risk of damage. A cosmetic dentist can guide you on maintaining your oral hygiene while consuming a soft-food diet.

Vegetables and Fruits: While crunchy raw vegetables and hard fruits should be avoided, you can still enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables that are cut into smaller, bite-sized pieces. A cosmetic dentist can help you achieve the desired aesthetic results after your orthodontic treatment is complete.

Protein Sources: Lean meats, fish, and poultry are excellent sources of protein that won't harm your braces. They also contribute to overall oral health. A cosmetic dentist can offer teeth whitening and other cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile's appearance after your orthodontic journey.

Dairy Products: Dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and milk are not only delicious but also provide essential nutrients for strong teeth. They are brace-friendly and help maintain good oral health. A cosmetic dentist can provide recommendations for maintaining your smile's aesthetics during treatment.

Consulting a Cosmetic Dentist for Comprehensive Care

A cosmetic dentist can perform teeth whitening procedures, recommend orthodontic-friendly cosmetic products, and provide insights into maintaining your oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. After your orthodontic journey is complete, a cosmetic dentist can further enhance your smile through various cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, veneers, and more.

Heat the Wax: To heat the sugar paste to the necessary temperature, according to the directions on your sugar wax package. To prevent skin burns, the paste must be malleable but not too hot.

Application: Spread a thin coating of sugar paste in the direction of hair development on your skin. A cloth strip should be pressed onto the paste and smoothed out.

Quick Removal: Pull the fabric strip off quickly by holding the skin firm and pulling it away from the direction that the hair grows. For the least amount of discomfort, this should be done quickly in one move.

Repeat until you have the desired level of hair removal by applying the sugar paste and removing it in portions.

Following your treatment, wash away any leftover dirt with warm water and hydrate the skin to relax it.

In the pantheon, he's also good friends with Pannychis (goddess of nightlife festivities), Aether (god of the upper atmosphere, celestial bodies, & heavenly light), Móda (goddess of fashion), Komos (god of revelry), Phaenna (goddess of jewels), Aerin (goddess of the ethereal); they've been close even before her transition, Iris (goddess of the rainbow), Peitho (goddess of persuasion & sensuality), Naeus (god of weddings), Chrysos (god of gold & riches), The Graces, Aphrodite (goddess of love & beauty), Gelos (god of laughter), Hermes, Adephagia (goddess of gluttony), The Muses, Nerissa (goddess of jellyfish), Aeolus (god of wind), Dionysus (god of wine), Mania (goddess of insanity), Pothos (god of longing & yearning), Apollo (god of the sun, music, poetry, healing, medicine, archery, plague, light, & knowledge), and Himeros (god of impetuous love). His friendships are really important to them.

Ditus does think that Hedylogos (god of sweet talk & flattery) & Horme (god of energy) are a bit too immature.

Ditus really admires Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection).

Their go-to drink is a triple berry margarita (a drink made with triple berry syrup, lime juice, tequila, & is then garnished with strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries). Ditus also likes cranberry grape soda & shirley temples (a non alcoholic drink made with grenadine, ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, & garnished with maraschino cherries).

They have a very successful up-and-coming fashion brand called andro-cene. Ditus started it after receiving loans from Aphrodite & Ganymede. It's style and accessories are very androgynous, appealing to gender non-conforming people. It's slowly been gaining traction, with a planned first ever fashion show coming up. For other work they also model for/endorses Bow + Arrow, Kaleidoscope Lab, Maison du Drame, La Petit Amour (cosmetics) & Graces' Glam. Ditus is also a co-chair of the All Love Festival, along with Ganymede. He's also a contributing writer for Kythereia magazine, Glamgerous, and Ganymede's LGBTQ+ magazine- The Rainbow Room. They've even been a guest co-host for Philotes' podcast Between the Sheets.

Ditus' go-to treat are mochi ice cream sandwiches! He also likes ambrosia salad (a dessert made with fruity mini marshmallows, maraschino cherries, whipping cream, shredded coconut, Greek vanilla yogurt, powdered sugar, pineapple tidbits, & mandarin orange slices), and vanilla cheesecake from Hollyhock’s Bakery.

They have been declared "winner" at the Olympian Gala for the best outfit, where they went far & beyond for the "A Night at the Opera" theme a few years ago- complete with a diamond studded Venetian style mask.

They don't like bringing attention to their romantic relationships. He feels conflicted about an intense & instant experience he had with a naiad nymph named Salmacis. Despite both of them agreeing to keep their distance, they always seem to find their way back together. They somewhat keep in touch through Fatestagram and O-mail.

Ditus' favorite meals include yakitori (drizzled in tzatziki & tare sauces), unadon, and kamo nandan.

In their free time, they do like it when things are chilled- when they work on their sculptures, swimming, listen to music, do pottery, painting (mainly portraits & abstract art), experimenting with make-up (is a huge fan of the La Petit Amour shimmering lip glass in Kissable Kiwi), cloud surfing, reading, & writing. Ditus also doesn't mind turning up & going out, visiting the hottest nightclubs like The Void, Dove, Neon Palace, and Sunspot.

Pakistan's Sea Buckthorn Berries Are Beautifully Underappreciated

By Tahereh Sheerazie, 15/4/15

Sea buckthorn is widely coveted in Michelin-starred kitchens like noma, but people in northern Pakistan, where the orange and red berries grow like wildfire, couldn't care less—even if it does make a delicious and healthy jam.

It was everywhere up north, but I hadn't noticed it on my previous trips.

It grows wild, in Pakistan's Shigar Valley of Baltistan and Shimshal Valley of upper Hunza/Gojal region; a fruit that is widely coveted in Western Michelin-starred kitchens like noma. But locals in these far north valleys care less about eating it and more about using it as barbed wire for fencing around their farmland to keep the animals out.

It's an innocuous part of the landscape in the dry Karakorum mountain range high up in Pakistan's northeast mountainous terrain, home to K2 and many other mighty peaks. Mostly growing wild along river beds, the first time I encountered sea buckthorn (Hippophae) was in late summer of 2008 in upper Gojal's remote 10,000 feet Shimshal Valley in northern Pakistan.

It is here where the ripe orange and red berries grow along the water's edge and brighten the landscape with their brilliant color.

I thought nothing of it, except that it was beautiful—in an odd, thorny sort of way.

That same winter, I was traveling by bus up the KKH (Karakoram Highway, the old Silk Route) to Kashgar from Rawalpindi. This was when I first tasted sea buckthorn in a tangy, sour-sweet, slightly bitter jam at the Serena Hotel in Gilgit, the areas main regional hub.

I was determined to bring some back home to Karachi and Pasadena where I live. No one in Gilgit knew much about it, except that the hotel bought its jam from a supplier in Skardu, Baltistan.

I poked around, searching for clues to find someone who might know of sourcing it in Gilgit. Finally, I was able to locate Wazir Aman, a man who pretty much has a PhD in sea buckthorn studies. A sort of mad scientist meets mad cook, he has been making and selling the juice and jams for years, and churns out sea buckthorn by-products out of a tiny cabin right off the KKH. Studying art in Karachi—like many art school graduates—his education had left him struggling for cash so he returned home to look for employment up north, earning an income by carrying loads and cooking for trekking expeditions. I can't recall what piqued his interest in sea buckthorn, but he began doing extensive research, and, among other things, discovered that the longevity of crows—which feed on the berries—is indebted to the fruit. This is what got him hooked on promoting sea buckthorn to people.

I followed my nose to find his scruffy cabin a few hours north of Gilgit, which was crammed with all sorts of things to cook and experiment with. His buddies sat chatting on a few scattered chairs, huddled around small tables. Wooden shelves filled with empty glass jam jars and rows of orange-looking juice in green, one-liter 7UP bottles decorated the walls. A two-burner gas stove sat on one of the very messy counters, sharing space with tins containing oil, sugar, salt, bags of berry powder, and who knows what else.

I sat drinking the customary sweet hot milk tea, listening with rapt attention to Wazir's tales of his life and the benefits of this miracle fruit. He extracts its juice for controlling high blood pressure and diabetes, grinds the sea buckthorn into powder for medicines, makes pulp for jams, and even presses the berries for oil.

I bought it all—the ideas and the merchandise.

He whipped up three jars of jam for me and one bottle of juice before I left next day. No one drank the sour, bitter juice when I brought it home, but everyone licked the jam jars clean. Wazir gets his raw material from the Shimshal Valley and from a man named Ghulam Nabi Shigri in Skardu, Baltistan. Ghulam Nabi (the king of Balti sea buckthorn) exports the dry crushed berry to markets elsewhere in the country, which then make it further afield to Europe's medicine and cosmetic industries. Wazir's successful experiments with jams and juices even helped him pay off a large chunk of his art school loans.

That sounds like a miracle fruit to me!

Among all the minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants it's famous for, sea buckthorn is best known for its high vitamin C content, but I barely met anyone in these northern valleys who was eating it for health reasons. On subsequent trips, I managed to locate a jam outlet in Skardu, Nabi Shigri's warehouse, as well as a government-run agricultural research institute in Skardu that is making jam, extracting the precious oil, drying the leaves for tea, and pounding the berries into a powder for a Tang-like dry juice. I was delighted to know that such a large organization is promoting the use of the berry, even if the world is still largely ignorant of its existence.

I stock up on sea buckthorn jam from Skardu whenever I am there, but I avoid being overly generous in sharing it. Getting a bottle of jam from so far north in Pakistan is just as cumbersome as jumping the thorny shrub to graze on forbidden farmlands. Someday I hope to catch up with Wazir Aman again and hear about the next miracle fruit he might have discovered in those remote mountains.

~QUEEN ELIZABETH'S FINAL YEARS~

"Towards the end of Elizabeth I’s reign, her face and body ravaged by time, sickness and toxic cosmetics, she was obliged to undergo an increasingly elaborate ritual to preserve the so-called ‘mask of youth’. When she emerged, triumphant, in front of the public court, she was Gloriana once more, bedecked in dazzling gowns, bejewelled wigs and thick layers of white make-up, and could just about fool her adoring subjects that she was still the most desirable woman in Europe. A visitor to her court in 1599 was amazed to see the queen, now well into her sixties, looking ��very youthful still in appearance, seeming no more than twenty years of age.’

Only in the privacy of her ‘secret lodgings’ at court was Elizabeth’s true self revealed to the handful of trusted ladies who were permitted to attend her.

... the queen was not willing to relinquish the battle for sexual supremacy quite yet. She appeared at court bedecked in increasingly lavish and brightly coloured gowns, but ordered her ladies to wear only black or white. Not all of them were prepared to acquiesce. Lady Mary Howard was one of the most audacious and disrespectful members of the queen’s entourage. One day she appeared at court dressed in an ostentatious gown made from a rich velvet and ‘powdered with gold and pearl’. An associate of Sir John Harington recalled the envious looks that were cast her way, not least from the queen, who realised the gown ‘exceeded her own’. Intent upon revenge, a few days later the queen ordered a servant to steal the dress from Lady Mary’s chamber and bring it to her. Elizabeth was considerably taller than Lady Mary, so the gown was far too short for her. Undeterred, she paraded in it before her ladies, demanding to know ‘How they liked her new-fancied suit?’ When nobody answered, the queen addressed the question to Lady Mary herself, who resentfully snapped that it was ‘too short and ill becoming’. ‘Why then,’ Elizabeth retorted, ‘if it become not me, as being too short, I am minded it shall never become thee, as being too fine; so it fitteth neither well.’

... In the later years of Elizabeth’s reign, her ladies were obliged to spend ever more time applying her makeup and other adornments in order to conceal the marks of age. Although the queen had originally worn wigs that matched her own colouring, these now concealed a head of thinning, grey hair. There is some evidence to suggest that her hair might have started to turn grey when she was still young. A lock of greying red hair preserved at Wilton House is reputed to have been given by Elizabeth to Philip Sidney in 1572, when she was thirty-nine, although another source dates the gift to 1582. Certainly, by 1596, when Elizabeth was in her mid-fifties, her famous copper tresses had faded to grey

...increasingly thick layers of makeup were applied to maintain the so-called ‘mask of youth’, as well as to keep up with Italian fashions. Educated as a humanist princess, Elizabeth had always embraced Italian ideals and influences, and it had not taken long for the fresh-faced beauty that typified her early reign to be replaced by the highly painted visage favoured by Italian ladies. As ever, the fashions at court had been quickly replicated by those lower down the social scale. It was ‘a rare face if it be not painted’, according to a satirical broadside of the period, which poked fun at the lengths that the women of London would go to in their quest for everlasting beauty:

Waters she hath to make her face to shine,

Confections, eke, to clarify her skin;

Lip salve and cloths of a rich scarlet dye . . .

Ointment, wherewith she sprinkles o’er her face,

And lustrifies her beauty’s dying grace . . .

Storax and spikenard, she burns in her chamber,

And daubs herself with civet, musk, and amber.

The queen tried to keep her forehead wrinkle-free by having it regularly pasted with curd skimmed off posset, a creamy drink made from milk mixed with sugar, wine or ale. She also used a cleansing lotion made from two newly laid eggs and their shells, burnt alum, powdered sugar, borax and poppy seeds ground with water. It was believed to whiten, smooth and soften the skin. Once Elizabeth’s skin had been cleansed and treated, her entire face, neck and hands were painted with ceruse (a mixture of white lead and vinegar) in order to achieve the palest possible complexion. This was the ideal for well-born ladies because it proved that they lived a life of genteel leisure, as opposed to the women whose skin was coloured by the sun from many hours of working outdoors. To create a dramatic contrast to her pale skin, Elizabeth’s lips and cheeks were coloured with a red paste made from beeswax, cochineal and plant dye, and her eyes were lined with kohl. Although they helped to conceal the ravages of time, some of these concoctions were so toxic that they did more damage to the skin than ageing ever could.

...In the queen’s favour was the fact she remained in good health, despite the occasional bout of illness – such as during de Maisse’s visit in 1597, when she claimed to have been ‘very ill with a gathering on the right side of her face’. She assured the ambassador that ‘she did not remember ever to have been so ill before’. He suspected that this was merely an excuse for not seeing him earlier, however, and observed: ‘I should never have thought [it] seeing her eyes and face.’ De Maisse was right to be suspicious. Even now, in what was considered old age, Elizabeth was physically agile and still had some of the restless energy that had characterised her youth. A visiting ambassador from Württemberg in March 1595 was amazed that during one of his audiences with the queen, ‘She stood for longer than a full hour by the clock conversing with me, which is astonishing for a Queen of such eminence and of such great age.’ In 1599, when she was in her mid-sixties, Elizabeth surprised the Spanish ambassador with her sprightliness at the dance. ‘The head of the Church of England and Ireland was to be seen in her old age dancing three or four galliards,’ he reported. The galliard was a particularly energetic dance, requiring frequent leaps, jumps and hops, so it was impressive that Elizabeth could carry it off with such aplomb. She was still performing it in 1602, at the age of almost seventy, when she honoured the Duke of Nevers by dancing it twice with him. That same year, another foreign visitor saw the queen walking in her garden at Oatlands and was astonished by her agility. ‘Her Royal Majesty passed us several times,’ he recalled, ‘walking as freely as if she had been only eighteen years old.’ For all her physical agility, there are hints that Elizabeth had started to lose her formidable mental capacity. Like her father, she became increasingly paranoid as age and infirmity overtook her. Even though it had been easily defeated by the royal forces, the Earl of Essex’s rebellion in 1601 had seriously destabilised her and more than ever she sought sanctuary in her private apartments. ‘These troubles waste her much,’ reported Sir John Harington. ‘Every new message from the city doth disturb her . . . the many evil plots and designs have overcome all her Highness’ sweet temper.’

Although weakened by stress and lack of food, the restless energy that the queen had displayed throughout her life still remained. Harington described how she ‘walked fastly to and fro’ when in a fury against Essex, and reported: ‘She walks much in her privy chamber, and stamps with her feet at ill news, and thrusts her rusty sword at times into the arras in great rage . . . the dangers are over, and yet she always keeps a sword by her table.’

Another (perhaps more truthful) account describes the ageing monarch as ‘very feeble and tottering on account of her illness,’ but the author admits that she was nevertheless ‘adorned and bedecked right royally’.

'The court was very much neglected, and in effect the people were generally weary of an old woman’s government,’ reported another courtier. In ever greater numbers, her subjects flocked north to James VI, King of Scotland, anxious to ingratiate themselves with the queen’s likely successor. As Camden noted: ‘They adored him as the sun rising, and neglected her as now ready to set.’ Elizabeth was well aware of this and was tormented that ‘the question of the succession every day rudely sounded in their ears’.

The loss of her subjects’ love hastened Elizabeth’s decline..."

AT DEATH's DOOR

In January 1603, the queen left the court in Whitehall on the advice of her trusted old astrologer John Dee, and moved to her favourite palace of Richmond, to which she could ‘best trust her sickly old age’.

... As the days passed, she continued to slip into a steady decline. Ever mistress of her fate, the queen refused to lie down in her bed or to take any food for three days and nights, instead ‘holding her finger almost continually in her mouth, with her eyes open and fixed upon the ground, where she sat on cushions without rising or resting herself, and was greatly emaciated by her long watching and fasting.’ She angrily dismissed the ministrations of her physicians, and those around her began to suspect that she had simply decided to die. ‘The Queen grew worse, because she would be so, none about her being able to persuade her to go to bed,’ recalled an exasperated Sir Robert Carey. ‘It seems she might have lived if she would have used means,’ another visitor concurred, ‘but she would not be persuaded, and princes must not be forced.’

... In her grief, Elizabeth sought even greater privacy: ‘The Queen for many days has not left her chamber . . . they say that the reason for this is her sorrow for the death of the Countess,’ observed Scaramelli.

Racked by sorrow and weakened by lack of food and sleep, the queen presented a sorrowful sight to the few courtiers who were permitted to visit her. Among them was the Countess of Nottingham’s widower, Charles Howard, the Lord High Admiral. Perhaps softened by pity, Elizabeth heeded his entreaties that she must retire to her bed. As soon as she did so, her life slipped rapidly away. The corridors of the palace echoed with ‘great weeping and lamentation’ as the queen’s ladies ‘passed to and fro, and perceived there was no hope that Her Majesty should escape.’

Shortly after taking to her bed, Elizabeth was seized by a ‘defluxion in the throat’, which left her unable to speak and ‘like a dead person’. The glands of her neck were enlarged and her breathing became laboured. Modern medical analysis suggests that she was suffering from bronchopneumonia, which, in a weakened or aged person, is rapidly followed by pneumonia and often proves fatal. Four days later, Scaramelli reported: ‘Her Majesty’s life is absolutely despaired of, even if she be not already dead.’

On 23 March, however, Elizabeth suddenly rallied. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she exhorted her ministers to care for the peace of the realm.

When the Lord High Admiral asked her if the King of Scots should be her heir, she lifted her thin, wasted hand up to her head and slowly drew a circle around it to indicate a crown. That evening, everyone but the queen’s ladies departed. They watched over her as she drifted between waking and sleeping. Between two and three o’clock the following morning, their royal mistress breathed her last, slipping from life ‘easily like a ripe apple from the tree’."
