Unlike Katherine—and unlike any of her predecessors—Anne was crowned with St Edward's crown. [...] It was not part of the queen consort's regalia [...] To set St Edward's crown on Anne's head recalls the crowning of a male monarch—Henry—and, more contentiously, risks equating Anne's authority as consort with the authority of a reigning monarch. Not until Mary I's coronation in 1553 would a woman, and the first queen regnant, be crowned with St Edward's crown. This unprecedented deviation from the rules of coronation articulates Anne's lawful right to be queen by placing her in the succession of English monarchs, through the visual link of St Edward. It explicitly brings the authority of the past, and the ancient ideals of sacred kingship, into this coronation.

Jonathan Sims: I'd love to be hunted for sport, I think it would be a fitting end.

I know in fanart everyone always depicts Eyepocalypse-Daisy as a werewolf sort of thing, but I've always thought the idea of her being still physically human (as much as anyone can be when an avatar) throughout the whole thing infinitely more unsettling and HEAR ME OUT.

The Hunt with which Daisy is affiliated was never a fear of the physicality of the predator itself, but the way in which it pursues and kills. Not the sight of the claws themselves but the fact that they extend towards you, etc etc. That unwavering persistence and senseless, but uncontrollable, cruelty we see in her in S5, mixed with her obvious humanity seen in how she calls out to Basira, when the others find her is so much more horrifying when you imagine her exactly as she was physically before.

This is especially the case when you imagine things from Basira's perspective.

Imagine, you've worked with a partner for years, supported each other (so much so as to indulge each other's harmful behaviour and abuse of power). You do your best to ignore the terrible things she does in the name of justice, even when it becomes woefully apparent that this is spurred on by an actual fear god feeding on her actions. You watch her try to resist it, then fail to do so in order to protect you and the others around you.

The world goes to capital-H-Hell, and you spend all your days looking for her to fulfill your promise to kill her.

It is the least you can do, after all.

It was the last thing she ever asked of you.

You expect that there will be nothing left of the woman you knew when it comes to it, that it will be an inhuman husk with no memories of you or anything other than The Hunt. But then you find her, and she's still her. Bloody and bestial, yes, but unmistakably her. And worst of all, your prick of a friend (love you Jon) just ealirer let you know that she is perfectly content. She is happy like this, and most harrowing of all, she recognises you. She wants you to join her.

And you realise that her request to kill her was not, will never be, the last thing she ever asked of you.

She extends a hand towards you, and it is the same hand you held before The Change.

And you kill her. Not a creature that was once her, just her. There is no heroism in it, only a partner lost.

Still, nevertheless I love werewolf-Daisy too.

(Equally, the idea of a grown human woman gnawing on someones leg is kind of hilarious, or Floridian, but I digress.)

Inktober 2023, The Magnus Archives Edition - prompts 26-29!

Bonus to 28. under the cut:

[fideidefenswhore]

The appropriation of St Edward’s crown for a queen consort reconfigures the legitimacy of the ceremony and sets up a new precedent of multiple crowning. Edward, Mary and Elizabeth would subsequently all be crowned with St Edward’s crown first, then the imperial state crown and then a personal imperial crown.

Anyone else doing the ink-tober thing? I’ve made my own list based off tma. I would love to see what others are doing!

I don’t do many ships. The pairings in here are souly the relationships they have in the show. Example: I don’t ship Trevor and Julia beyond a fatherly to daughter relationship.

IMPORTANT EDIT:

It’s come to my attention this should have a tag. I’m going with #tmatober or you can tag #foxnfishstudio Please tag so me and others can follow your awesome creations!

[swordsandholly]

Having a thought:

Twilight AU where Bella actually dies at the end of book one. A new protagonist enters the scene, hearing whispers about this girl who went missing after getting close to the Cullens as they zero in on her.

Alternatively, set in a new town in Alaska (since the Cullens go there a lot) and this new protagonist gets close to Edward during class. Things are weird, she starts researching, finds out about a case where this girl from a place called Forks died and the Cullens have some shady involvement.

Idk the twilight fixation is beginning to resurface as the weather gets cold.

hotd s2 is really good if you don’t have an annoying book reader in your ear complaining about the changes
