“Finis you can’t connect every character you like to a Crane Wives song” maybe you just haven’t listened to enough Crane Wives songs. Coward.

Canid Cranium

“I found a dog skull

in the woods

it was the skull of a dog

not some coyote or wolf or fox—

this i’m certain of

it had man’s touch pressed into

it’s shortened snout

and loyalty smoothed

into it’s rounder shape

i wondered about the dog it was

before it was just a skull in the woods

before teeth marks made their jagged tattoos

in the crest of eye sockets

i stared at it’s moss-covered form

centered in a clearing

almost slightly on its side

and thanked the forest for giving it a funeral

and the moss for making it feel not alone

and the pine needles for giving it a soft bed

and the birds for singing to it

day after day

and i thanked the sun for kissing it’s bones

for no dog

dead or alive

should feel cold

so i lifted him from the ground

gentle

and i promised the forest i’d take

good care of him

and i brought him home

and i picked the vines off him

and shooed the bugs away

and took great care to scrub the dirt off

soft and slow

‘You’ve done a great job,’

I tell them

‘But i’ve got him, now.

You’ve done a good job

but it’s my turn to watch him

now.’

and i promised to love him

to continue to

a sacred vow.”

A/N: an ode to dogs, loyalty, and bones in the woods.

Next two of Henry VIII's wives: Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves!

Putting a little explanation for these designs under the break:

Both of these women were painted by Hans Holbien, and their portraits by that artist played a pretty vital role in how I wanted to depict these women. For Jane, I decided to stick as close as I could, because I think Jane gets the most artistic interpretation than any of the other wives. She's a blank slate to a lot of directors in Tudor adaptations. This is brought on by the very scant records we have of what she was really like in life. We do know she loved quail while she was pregnant, and encouraged Henry to treat his daughter Mary better, which ultimately ended in her being welcomed back at court. Her family has kept samples of her embroidery through history, so it's fun to imagine her working on something in between breaks for her portrait.

For Anne, I went the complete opposite. Her Holbien portrait is extremely famous, but I feel like it creates the misconception that Anne never changed during the rest of her life in England. The portrait also has been used to cast doubts on her appearance (and whether or not her looks are exagerrated). In reality, Anne was dressed in typical English court digs when she arrived in England, and was noted to be very pretty. It wasn't until after Henry cast doubts on her appearrance, and even her chastity, in order to get out of the marriage as quickly as possible. I wanted to give these back to her, as white symbolised purity and chastity in this period. Anne lived a good life as Henry's sister, and outlived all the other of Henry's wives. She was known for being kind to her staff, and loving to pair cards with a good drink.

Me when silly block people plague my every thought:

I watch the ceiling buckle, the walls are closing in

thinking about music that you can pass as christian to conservatives but everyone who actually reads the lyrics is like oh this is a GAY allegory

I got fed up always see female characters being pushed to the side in fics to focus on the male characters

And my ladies need love to! So have this book I made because of that reason and out of spite

Also, I did the math, 78% of ship fics in hermitcraft are MLM, further more, when you exclude F/M and M/M and only include F/F only 41% of the total WLW ship category remains

And 65% of all shipping fics in empire are MLM, exclud mlm and flm and only 56% of the total WLW ship catory remains

How interesting!

In all seriousness, I DO get it, I mean, 95% of the members of both smps are male. But I also know the other reason there's more fics focused on male characters and ships rather than female characters and ships.

And why even when the female ship is tagged, they get side lined and put in the background in favor of the male ship
