"Ok Listen I think he'll probably be passed on via appearance alone but thats what makes him such a fine wine to me. He is a prince, a kind man with a kind heart who loves cute things. He overworks himself to distract from his own family trauma and all he ever wanted to do is to be truly loved by someone. Also he thinks glasses are cute because they represent being able to see those he loves clearly. I could say more, but I won't. I'm obsessed."

What did he mean by this

[knightlysong]

something a bit fun, but i found my very first rf4 piece i did back in feb 2014! and done on iscribble to boot, really takes me back.

i remember these three were my main team when i first played, and ngl while i go back and fourth between frey and lest now, they're still my main team and love interests in my current files (even if i prefer arthur and forte together now lol). wild to me how 11 years later, i'm still drawing them. rf4 really is my comfort game.

my style's changed a lot since too, perhaps i'll do an updated version to compare.

Just for funsies, I've recently tried to wrap my mind around this tiny mistake in Act Two Scene One in the play "Ross. A character portrait" by Terence Rattigan.

For context, Lawrence has just arrived at Allenby's GHQ and stops an exiting Storrs to tell him about one of the newest archaeological discoveries by Freddie Strong (I failed at identifying him with a real life person), that is an alabastron (perfume jar) from the Twentieth Dinasty with strong Minoan influences. [As an aside, this is factually incorrect, since the Egyptian Twentieth Dinasty goes from 1189 BC to 1077 BC, while Minoans lasted from around 3100 BC to approximately 1400 BC, but it isn't the main topic here]

Allenby takes a sudden interest in the subject and says he's been reading Arthur Evans' book "The Palace of Minos".

The historically accurate thing here is that Allenby loved reading about a variety of topics (unlike other generals), the inaccurate one is that the first volume of "The Palace of Minos" was published in 1921, so it can't fit a scene set about in 1917 or at best in 1918.

At this point, we can remember that this scene is set during a dream-like sequence, where Lawrence is remembering his past life in Arabia, so this mistake is accounted for by the fact that dreams usually don't have the accuracy and correctness of real life.

Since Lawrence joined the RAF in 1922 (and the play is set in 1923), it could make sense that he was reading a book published the year before.

However, the topic of the book it's a bit strange for Lawrence. As an archaeologist, he dealt mainly with Crusade era castles and Karkemish, that is Middle Age and Bronze Age sites in the Near East. "The Palace of Minos" deals with every finding at the Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete that isn't an inscription of any sort (the Aegean Bronze Age inscriptions were dealt with in his 1908 book "Scripta Minoa I").

As to my knowledge, there is no evidence that Lawrence has ever dealt with any Minoan finding, since he clearly had a different area of expertise, but I'll be happy to be disproved.

However, there's a teeny tiny link between Lawrence and someone expert on Minoan things, and that person is David George Hogarth. He was a British archaeologist that did some excavations in Crete and was affiliated with Arthur Evans, the scholar of Aegean Bronze Age scripts and excavator at the Palace of Knossos.

Moreover, it was Hogarth that hand picked him to join his excavations at Karkemish. And we know that Lawrence met Dahoum (the S. A. of the dedicatory poem at the beginning of "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom") at Karkemish. So, maybe we have to say thank you to Hogarth for indirectly bringing to Lawrence his personal motivation to fight for the Arab liberation.

During World War One, Hogarth was lieutenant commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and worked at the Arab Bureau together with Lawrence, so in the end everything is connected.

Hey guys, I just found out that Arthur blushes and finally realizes that you're coming onto him if you give him cookies on both valentines day and white day

I've been playing as Lest and I fell for Arthur like a pit trap. The rage I've felt that I couldn't marry him as a man has been immense. I've been thinking about writing a fanfic about the canon excuse for homosexual behavior being "a joke" and how upsetting it is for Lest for his feelings to never be reciprocated by anyone but Vishnal (in an exclusively platonic way).

I need to let an entire in game year pass, I guess, in order to see if he gets the picture more a third time. I already married Clorica, so it will not end in marriage, but Lest has two hands in my heart. Why not see what happens anyway.
