“I fucking knew it, didn’t I?” Arthur gloated, one big hand tight around Charles’ wrist, the other clenching his hip in a grip that promised bruises. “Knew you were gonna be perfect,” Arthur continued, humping forward so Charles could feel the hard line of his cock through the denim of Arthur’s jeans. The buckle of Arthur’s belt scraped Charles’ sensitive skin, prompting a shiver. Arthur’s hand trailed from Charles’ hip up his side, petting appreciatively against his heaving flank.  “Like god himself dropped you in my lap,” Arthur whispered, carefully gathering Charles’ hair up to lay over one shoulder, baring his neck to the warmth of dappled sunlight streaming through the trees. It was the first gentleness Arthur had touched him with since he’d coaxed Charles to the forest floor. If Charles thought the man had a religious bone in his body he’d call the careful brush of Arthur’s hand against his hair worshipful.  “I don’t believe in souls, Mr. Smith,” Arthur continued. He leaned forward, biting a few possessive kisses into the unmarked skin along Charles’ spine. The scratch of his goatee tickled the sensitive skin, prompting another shivering whine from Charles’ chest, muffled against the wool of the blanket. “Suspect you’ve got your own misgivings in that direction,” Arthur said, leaning back. The hand not gripping Charles’ wrist left its work caressing along his skin, going instead to the buttons of Arthur’s straining jeans. “But you were made for me, angel,” Arthur said, drawing out his cock, pressing the thick, spongy head against Charles’ winking, reddened rim, a vulgar kiss. “Like a custom rifle grip, you fit me just right.” Something painful throbbed in Charles’ chest, too close to hope for comfort. Charles had been careful to guard his heart—Arthur had the makings of a good man in him, and he was undoubtedly appealing with his rough confidence and understated artistry. For all that he pretended at being a brute, Arthur coveted and celebrated beauty, had an eye for it. He was funny, sensitive, almost a romantic  But Arthur was still a thief through and through, and a selfish, violent one at that. He was quick to anger, even quicker to draw on anyone dumb enough to get between him and what he desired. For all that little Jack and the girls of camp adored him, the other man seemed to struggle constantly between his better nature and brutal impulse.  Despite the long nights stealing glances at the other man across the fire, coveting the brief and beautiful moments of Arthur’s attention— Charles hadn’t survived as long as he had by habitually making foolish decisions. Letting Arthur fuck him at all was undoubtedly foolish. Letting himself believe Arthur would ever see him as anything but a convenient bed partner would be outright idiotic.

 excerpt from heaven knows (they wanna take you apart), my LH!Arthur/Charles Smith smut fic. Rated E for smut and Arthur’s filthy mouth.

Summary:

Everyone makes stupid choices in their twenties. For Charles Smith, letting their gang’s enforcer/Dutch’s favored son/his crush of six months take him to bed would top that list.

Knowing that doesn’t actually help him against Arthur Morgan’s lake-blue eyes or hungry, coyote smile.

Charles saves a friend, gets his cherry popped, and catches feelings (in that order).

A small sigh of relief escapes Charles lips as he sets the axe against the oak stump in front of him. He spent nearly the entire day doing chores. With everything done, he sauntered over to his things to grab a change of clothes, soap, and a cloth. He draped his clothes over his arm with the soap and cloth in his hand before heading towards a shady and hidden part of the lake to bathe.

Lake water never looked better than right now. He tossed his shirt to the side before kicking his pants off as well. One step and another before his waist is submerged. He took his time, making sure to get all the sweat and grime off his body and out of his hair. Once satisfied, he dunks under the water once to rid himself of the suds before getting out.

A cool breeze runs over his body as he dries himself, causing goosebumps to raise on his arms. Charles quickly dresses himself before heading back to camp, bringing his things with him. Just one more stop before he’s lying with you, which is just putting his soap away and placing his dirty clothes into a basket to be washed tomorrow.

Two hands snake their way around his waist, one hand holding the opposite wrist. Looking over his shoulder, Charles quickly realized it was you. He smiles softly to you before he wraps an arm around your shoulders.

“Fires warm, care to join me?” You ask with an inviting smile, threading your fingers into his damp hair, “I can comb your hair if you’d like.” You add on. Charles nods and kisses your forehead.

“I’d like that.” Charles murmurs into your hair before letting you go to get cozy on his bedroll. You grin with his acceptance and get behind him, kneeling a little so you can really see what you’re doing. The comb starts from the bottom, making sure any knots down there are gone before going up. For how much work he had accomplished, his hair was remarkably detangled.

To keep his hair from getting messy in the morning, you quickly braid it and tie the end up with a ribbon like string. You admire your work for a moment before kissing his cheek and laying in the bedroll next to him. You look up to him for a moment. He looked gorgeous with the fire glowing on his skin. Charles quickly noticed, but said nothing.

“Thank you.” He whispered to you with a soft smile. He takes a moment to admire the braid as well before laying with you. Everything felt so peaceful, nearly perfect. Javier’s guitar playing, crickets chirping, and the sound a breeze going through the summer leaves was all you need to feel your heart slow down. You began to hum with the song once you recognized it as Cielito Lindo. You didn’t quite understand the words, but they were pretty to hear nonetheless.

Noticing how happy you looked, Charles reaches his hand out to rest on your waist. He waits a few moments before pulling you near him. You had no qualms at all, you rather liked it. Eyes still closed, you get in closer to sleep in his hold. He quickly notices and kisses the top of your head before closing his eyes as well.

It was quite unusual for him to be so affectionate, but you didn’t mind one bit. His newfound affection lulled you right to sleep knowing nothing was wrong.

Red Dead Redemption Scenarios: Finger Sucking

Pronouns: None Mentioned Physical Sex: None Mentioned, implied AMAB Rating: M/Sexual themes Warnings: Finger sucking, allusions to anal sex, top reader

Abe: 

He’s teasing you. If it’s not a cuddle or an ‘innocent’ kiss then he simply brings your hand up to cup his face before he slowly moves it closer to his lips. He knows you love it and he loves it nearly as much. You don’t touch him in any other way, nor does he touch you. Watching him is more than enough to grow in anticipation. Still, his cheeks dust a little red when he first feels your hard on against his leg.

Bill Williamson: 

His face is redder than the shirt he’s shedding from his shoulders, but he happily takes your fingers all the way to the knuckle. Once his shirt is gone, he holds your hand in place, simply enjoying the feeling of your fingers in his mouth. His imagination drives him forward because he can picture the future, your fingers slick with his saliva stretching him out for something much more filling.

Charles Smith: 

He separates from the kiss, you hand already in his. Slowly and intentionally he takes them each one knuckle at a time. His eyes shine like he knows what watching him like this does to you. His tongue swirls around them before he takes them deeper, surprising you with the depth he can take. You could watch him do this forever. He has such a gentleness that contrasts the desperation of his movements and his strong hand on your wrist makes you never want to move.

Colm O’Driscoll: 

He grips your hand, bringing it to his lips and slowly pressing fingers inside. His other hand pins you down but he allows you the slight freedom of grinding up against him. One at a time he swirls his tongue over each finger and you wonder what he plans to have you do with them when he’s done.

Kieran Duffy: 

He’s slow, savoring the way you look at him as his cheeks dust pink and he sucks softly along each knuckle. He doesn’t particularly want it to end. The way you hold him and gently urge his tongue along your fingers makes him harden at a comfortable pace and he loves the feeling of you doing the same against his leg.

Micah Bell: 

Micah’s back hits the tree and he grins as you pin him. You trace a few fingers along his bottom lip and he takes them greedily, always eager. His hips move against you, rutting as he swirls his tongue over each digit in his mouth. Spit collects, leaking out onto his chin, but he doesn’t care. He moans around them as you grind against him just right. You’d almost think he enjoys this more than what follows.

Sean MacGuire: 

He takes them with a knowing hunger, doing everything he can to move things along because he knows he’s not going to last if you get to teasing him. His tongue moves expertly along your fingers, coating them with an experience he acquired with only a few occurrences. He knows to keep your attention as he gets them fully coated. He grinds against you and moans around your fingers. Anything to get you to fuck him with those fingers as soon as he’s done with them.

Saskia Reeves Breaks Down Jackson Lamb’s Shocking Betrayal

TheWrap: At first, Catherine is very touched that Lamb has come to her rescue. And then he tells her that her late boss was a traitor who was setting her up to take the fall for him. That’s a huge, huge betrayal.

Saskia Reeves: Yeah. It’s a shocking moment for her. Which is why I think she says, if you don’t mind my French, “F,U. Jackson Lamb, f—k the lot of you.” I think she’s just had it, that’s it. She’s had enough. And Catherine never swears. Jackson Lamb swears all the time, but she never swears. So that was quite a big thing for her to do that.

So of all the things that Lamb says to Catherine, what do you think was the most hurtful?

That Charles was only keeping her close because she was a drunk. [Lamb] helped her go to rehab. He helped her, she thought, recover. And I think after Charles Partner was killed, or when he committed suicide, as she thinks, she fell off the wagon a few times.

Lamb tells her, doesn’t he, in the end of Season 1 that he gave Charles Partner the gun. But she always blamed herself for his death. And she falls off the wagon, and then gets back on it because otherwise she’d probably kill herself.

And that’s when Lamb picks her up and says, “Okay, I’m going to offer you a job.” I imagine her self-esteem is very low. It’s a job that she can do incredibly well. She hasn’t sunk to the bottom like all the other [agents in Slough House].

She really gets a chance to shine this season as she gains the trust of her kidnappers and mines them for information.

I don’t know if anybody would have quite approached it the way she did. Knowing what she knows, and getting sort of caught up in their emotional reason why they need the information that they need. You have to remember she’s not a spy. She’s a secretary, a very, very good secretary.

Do you think Lamb is actually fond of her?

Yes. They’ve been part of MI5 since before the [Berlin] wall came down, they’ve been through so much together. They know the same people from before. And they’re both more analog than digital. She knows [he used to be an] exemplary member of MI5. And he knows her to be an incredibly experienced supporter of the head of MI5. I think he respects her, but he’s also a frightful bully and, and in some areas, a coward who doesn’t want to face his own alcoholism.

So he pushes her, he keeps pushing her to see how far she’ll go, to test her. I think she interprets that as, “He’s trying to break me. He’s trying to push me off the wagon, and I refuse to be pushed off the wagon.” And the longer she stays sober, the stronger she gets. And I love how strong she is. She’s very smart. And she’s kind but she’s f—ked up. Which is what holds them all together, isn’t it?

He has one one big secret left: As the viewers already know, he was the one who killed Charles.

Right. That hasn’t come out yet. Which is why when she asks him, “Do we kill our own?,” she’s not aware of how close she is to the truth.

I haven’t read the books but I assume that does come out at some point.

It does come out, but I can’t remember which book it happens in. I’ve read them all a few times.

Actually, it’s a conversation I want to have with the showrunner Will Smith. What are we going to do with this piece of humming knowledge, this thing that won’t go away? This thing that Jackson did, but he did it under the umbrella of David Cartwright (Jonathan Pryce). And that relationship will be unfolded in Season 4.

We get a few glimpses of Catherine in the Season 4 teaser trailer. Will we see her back at Slough House?

I can’t say anything!

tried to study charles, not sure if captured his essence..

[ID: A digital headshot drawing of Charles Smith from Red Dead Redemption 2. The drawing is of his profile, with his eye aimed at the viewer. Charles has stubble, dark brown skin, a scar on his jawline and long black hair resting on his shoulders. He wears a white shirt with a brown vest in the reference but in the drawing, the clothing isn't colored in. There are sparkle emojis next to his hair and forehead, while a sketch of an opossum character admires him. The opossum is a stand in for the artist. The background is light gray and a reference image of Charles Smith sits in the bottom right corner. End ID]

Perhaps my least kinky fic in a long time, but still brain-rotting smut with a healthy helping of Charles fawning over Arthur...

Pairing: Arthur Morgan x Charles Smith

Rating: Explicit/18+ so MDNI

Tags: Top!Arthur, Bottom!Charles, Crushes, Pining, Sweat, Body Worship, Stomach Worship (just a little bit, I can't write Arthur without it being influenced by how weak I am for his stomach), Idiots in Love, Rimming, Creampies (I will not apologize)

Charles has a crush on Arthur, and much to his embarrassment, Arthur sees right through him. He invites him out for a fishing trip, definitely without any ulterior motives.

[charles-smith-pillow-princess]

I'll go kinda vanilla on the kink: choking/breathplay. Something something getting to experience a taste of what Arthur went through at the man's own still-living hands and such, blah blah metaphors. 😘

(CW: choking, breath play)

(I don’t see HH!Arthur ever wanting to choke Charles even in a sexy way, but LH!Arthur would be down. It helps that LH!Arthur enables Charles’ worst impulses)

Show me, is all Charles had said, legs up around Arthur’s waist as they fucked brutally against a rickety workable, drawing one of Arthur’s hands to wrap around his throat.

Show me what it’s like to want to live, he hadn’t said. But his eyes spoke it, gaze searing into Arthur’s own. Charles had been in a mood, these last few days. Brooding, contemplative. The oppression of the heat and the south, the fucking people here—it’d begun to weigh on him.

After rescuing Trelawny, Arthur had pulled Charles into an abandoned barn on the way back to Clemens Point, twitchy and burning with adrenaline. He’d fucked Charles hard and fast, like the devil was nipping at his heels, like the only way to know he was really still alive was to bury himself in his lover’s heat.

He was grateful to Charles for saving him. But resentment burned in his breast, just beside. He’d never liked being in anyone’s debt, and now his life was Charles’.

Not the worst person to have custody of Arthur’s soul, no. But there’s no debtor who’s ever really loved their lender.

Which is why Arthur acquiesced, thumb moving over the thick artery jumped on the side of Charles’ pretty neck. He stroked the spot, relishing the steady pulse that jumped and fluttered under thin skin.

Then Arthur pushed up, thumb pressing hard into the artery while he applied just enough pressure to Charles’ windpipe to make it feel like he was strangling the other man.

Arthur’d become something of an artist in violence, over the years. Knew how to restrict the blood so a man would think he’s choking, even as air bellowed in and out of his heaving lungs. He knew how to hurt a body without damaging it. And he didn’t want to hurt Charles.

Just make him squirm.

And squirm he did. Charles took to the rough treatment like he always did, moaning and panting and pressing up into Arthur’s unforgiving hands.

Arthur wasn’t sure if the man liked pain or if he just appreciated it for what it was—a sign that he was still alive. Still real, despite the decades the younger man had felt a ghost.

Wherever Charles’ wires had gotten crossed, it was certain that he liked what Arthur was doing to him, now. The way his cock jumped, pre pulsing down the dusky head, how he tightened up inside to a perfect, full body clench that squeezed Arthur’s cock just this right side of painful—

He looked so damn gorgeous, too, Arthur thought, grimly satisfied as those soulful brown eyes rolled up in the back of Charles’ head, his full mouth panting open as he struggled for air.

Pretty as a picture.

In Defense of Cordelia Carstairs

I haven't finished reading the book but because I am incredibly impatient, I have read so many spoilers that it feels as if I have. (For reference I believe that I am almost half way through.) That being said, I may change my mind on this take after finishing the book. 

*WARNING SPOILERS FOR TLH AHEAD*

Cordelia is catching a lot of flack right now. People arent liking her in this book as much as they did in the previous ones and while I understand that in some instances, I dont think people are looking at her situation as a whole while reading. In the past several weeks she has (spoiler alert, seriously stop reading now if you haven't read Chain of Gold, Chain of Iron and/or Chain of Thorns):

Lost her father who she had an extremally complicated relationship with.

Witnessed her mother begin to experience a high risk pregnancy because of the stress of her father dying

Witnessed her brother get his heart broken which, she has shown concern about on a number of occasions (people keep saying she doesn't care and to that I say: you seem to forget that she was literally running interference every time Charles so much as looked at her brother in Chain of Iron and encourages him at several points in Chain of Thorns to pursue happiness with Thomas.)

Believed she was being singled out to become a hero and was doing something great by swearing alligance to Wayland the Smith and having that thrown back into her face by discovering that she is now the Paladin of a greater demon. 

Lost the future she thought she would have in becoming Lucie’s Parabatai because she is now the Paladin of a greater demon.

Begun to hope that James had feelings for her but then witnessed him embracing the women that she believes he truly loves, thereby having her heart and hopes crushed.

Thought she was going to Paris to heal and take her mind off of things only to be immediately lied to by Matthew which she finds out about at the same time that James comes to tell her that he loves him. Which given what she knows about the situation must be incredibly confusing. 

You guys... that's a lot for a single person to go through. Imagine the worst moments of your life, all compiled into a span of a few weeks and ask yourself: do you think you would be on your best behavior? I know that I wouldn't be.

I will concede that the Cordelia/Matthew/James love triangle has been incredibly annoying to read. Out of all the issues she is facing in her life, I would put “which cute boy do I love?” at the bottom of the list. However since this is a romance novel of sorts I wont speak too much to my annoyance on this particular plotline being overly focused on.

I will also concede that her treatment of Matthew is just shitty honestly. I dont think that she feelings for him at any point. Matthew is a distraction and honestly the way she lead him on was incredibly mean. The moment she started thinking about James while they kissed she should have said something. I will say Matthew straight up lying to her about the drinking was shitty as well. He should have been honest with her but I can understand his thinking more than hers. He is an addict which is a sickness.

As to the whole James situation: she doesn't have the benefit of knowing what we know as the reader. Yes, it is incredibly frustrating for us to watch her hem and haw about her feelings for James because we know the truth of the matter. She does not. In her mind, James’s feelings are sudden and confusing. Just a few days ago he was in their house embracing Grace and thanking god that she wasn't going to marry Charles and now, suddenly, he hates Grace and loves her. He offers her absolutley no explanation on why this would be. What would you think in that situation? I dont know that I would jump to “he only wants me because he cant have me,” but I would be angry and confused.

I'm not saying that I think she is right in doing and saying the things she does in the book (especially towards Lucie) but I also dont completely blame her. She has also been lied to so many times (her fathers alcoholism, Jame’s feelings, Matthew’s drinking, etc) that I am not surprised that she is suddenly suspicious of everyone’s motivations. Which I’m sure she would have debunked herself if she had the time to really stop and think about it. Her life has been thrown on its ear and I dont think she knows how to cope or is taking a moment to stop and think. Nor has she really had the time to do so with the whole Belial/Lilith situation. 

I know that there are more grievances that people have but again I haven't finished the book so I dont really have an opinion and I may change my mind about all of this later on. Kudos to anyone who made it all the way to the bottom of this rambling post. Let me know your thoughts :)

Dopp Kit’s History

Posted by John Anthony Law for Copper River Bag Company on 1st Nov 2022

What in the world is a Dopp Kit you ask? I had the same question when we here at Copper River Bag Co introduced our Dopp Kit with our new line of travel bags. After I did a little research, this kit made perfect sense to me and I absolutely had to get one for myself. A Dopp Kit is a small toiletry bag used by both men and women to store grooming supplies. Simple, right? And even more so practical - the more and more I read about it – the more and more I found that everyone should have one, especially me.

Charles Doppelt, a leather-smith from Germany invented this handy little bag made out of leather back in the early 20th century. It was introduced as a “toilet bag”, however, over the years, a more appropriate name of “Dopp Kit” became more and more widely used. In American culture, the word "toilet" has more of a dirty connotation to it. During the second world war, the Dopp kit became widely popular as these kits were introduced into the military. Samsonite purchased Doppelt's company in the 1970s in order to produce and register a trademark on the Dopp kit.

Order a Copper River Bag Dopp Kit https://bit.ly/doppkitsale22

So now that we have a little bit of history on the Dopp Kit, let's talk about some of the uses. Of course, the toiletry bag can be used for its intended use: to store all of your grooming supplies, shaving supplies (for the gentlemen), make-up (for the women...or hey, the men too), toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, shampoo and any other supplies you might need to have within arm's reach while preparing for the day. But overall, in today's day and age, the kit can be used for many other things. Basically, it can be used for anything to keep you organized; can be easily stored in your car, snugly in your suitcase, or carried around as an accessory item.

When traveling, whether it be for an overnight trip at Grandma's or a week long trip across the country, storing your toiletry supplies is essential. They can get messy and there's nothing more frustrating than to find that your toothpaste has exploded onto your freshly dry-cleaned garments, or having to unpack your entire duffel bag because your razor has mysteriously fallen to the bottom of the bag - or, in my case - inside of a sock (yes, this happens often, I don't know why...but not anymore!). So this is why it's important (and classy) to have a nice little organization to sometimes hectic traveling.

What are Dopp Kits made out of? Of course, the first dopp kit was invented out of leather but as time went on may other materials constructed this handy little bag. Sometimes very cheaply. When we here at Copper River Bag Co launched our travel bag line, we searched for some of the best materials out there. It was decided that an 18oz cotton duck material which is water resistant and will not tear on you would be the most practical for today's world. Inside of the kits are two organizational compartments, so that you can organize the toiletries appropriately for easy access. The rust-proof zipper makes the interior easy-to-access without the struggle that comes with lower quality zippers. Easy to grab and go with a Chocolate Lattigo leather handle on one side of the bag also adds a nice visual accent.

Our Dopp kits have a balanced mix convenience and classiness that fits in perfect with what we need when on the road or, of course, when in the bathroom. There's no way you can go wrong when you're super organized during your travels – no matter if it's down the street or on the other side of the world.

I started to think of something he went to prison and he was in there for years was over a feud and basically the women were kind of killing the women and the same Charles Smith Charles Manson would go to prison for his woman getting killed and his roommate in prison was there for the others getting killed and that's what was happening and they fight each other I guess and they had a feud but that's completely internal it's almost like saying his clan and my clan fighting as in the women and it was not like that so I look further into it and it was his clan dominating the other one but you know they would fight back a little and I can't find any Grand analogy it really fits we don't have our people fighting each other we don't

It's true doesn't seem to be one but they say it all the time his roommates with Sean and he was in prisons supposedly so he pulled this thing with Colleen and Brenda and they switched and the max broke up our son and Colleen so Jen moved in on it same girl and they can tell at all and the thing is they may have actually planned that a little but there's really a visit analogy there is an analogy and it was supposedly our sons wife and women going after Sean's and Trump was actually doing it and we think the clone it turns out that's what it was but we didn't figure out that the max were doing it and they're having him clone so Trump showed up at the house I said no what's going on hand over the kids and they said no and it said yeah instead of course not us s*** of course not you'll be on a bonfire and he said I'll be in a bonfire you'll be right on top of the bonfire that's the place you don't want to be so he said how you going to do that say don't you worry about that and so you stop talking for a while and it was too late so the days went on into years and he started to think about it and he said it's very stupid thing to say and the analogy was that our son would be with his wife and having her in the girls do stuff and they'll get caught but it's two cops and he doesn't recognize them and they knew who he was and they kept up the acts and the signal sorts of stuff and her son doesn't go to prison and he doesn't go to prison with Sean or anyone so we're wondering what the hell that was and what they're trying to do is make him look like a demon and they did and their pressuring him all the time and a son say they take someone an orphan in a isolated and they try and program and push around it's different than someone asking and it's true after all these years you say thank you no and he's still very mean but this is what is going on is an analogy it's really they're saying that his and is like his and so he's gone I can't he's going I can't believe they're doing this stupid s*** to me and putting his kids through this and expecting something and a lot of people are talking about it saying that these bags are nuts and even the house is going to be in the house it's way too big you can't see end-to-end or atop The bottom and he probably have to have cameras and sensors big dog hey this ridiculous stuff they carry on okay they carry on and they carry on and Non-Stop so we are going after them and pretty good too they were going to take them down right now we have a plan to take them out and really that's the Mac proper a lot of people have a plan now to do that they're just unreasonable they have a plan to do all sorts of stuff to our son and the economy they want to gas it up and deflated a little gas it up you know I keep messing around with it and we're not going to let him we won't let them we have a plan for him to live in these castles and it's strange for people that it's true we're going to have to start talking about this more this is a horrible subject they're up to here the analogy carries towards our people and the trial and so forth and screwing around with him is analogous 2 hours and we wanted to change we don't want to lifestyle for our people they were going to have to break it and we do that we do know what he's saying we have announcements and it is changing and we will post them momentarily

Reliquary Continued

Recent Acquisition As the foremost Italian cabinetmaker of the 18th century, Pietro Piffeti was in the service of the royal House of Savory for over 40 years. Piffetti’s works are remarkable for their technical skill; the intricate marquetry decoration on this prie-dieu is all the more impressive when one considers the difficulty of veneering curved surfaces. Thes prie-dieu-a kneeling bench used at home for personal devotion - was most likely made for the youngest son of Carl Emmanuel III, King of Sardinia, for use in the Palace of Venaria, the family’s hunting lodge outside Turin. A door in the center of the prie-dieu conceals a small cabinet for a rosary and prayer books, and the drawer at the base would have held a padded kneeler. The interiors of the cabinet retains its original pink paint; popular in the mid-18th century, the color pink did not yet have the feminine associations it does today.

Britain’s 74-year-old King Charles III, who will be crowned on Saturday, was the oldest sovereign to take the throne in a lineage that dates back 1,000 years when he succeeded his popular mother, Queen Elizabeth II, after her death in September. She had reigned for 70 years.

Charles does not enjoy the same support as his widely admired mother, but his public approval ratings are generally positive. An opinion poll last week showed many more people hold favourable views of him than negative although there is also a wide segment expressing indifference.

Republican sentiment – which was almost entirely absent publicly during Elizabeth’s reign – has become visible with eggs thrown at the king and his wife, Camilla, on one trip and small groups of protesters voicing opposition at others.

Buckingham Palace has supported research into the monarchy’s links to slavery as calls grow for apologies and reparations, not least from some of the 14 Commonwealth realms, where Charles is also king.

The Guardian newspaper has run a series of articles raising questions about the opaque nature of the wealth and finances of the institution and the royal family, an issue that resonates at a time when Britons are facing a cost of living crisis.
