"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”

[Image description: A digital drawing based on María Álvarez from the film María, llena eres de gracia. There is a dull red border around the piece. Maria's face is only visible in a small square near the left corner of the border, looking off to the side with her hair messily drooping onto her face. Her mouth is open to show a sliver of her teeth, but her expression is unclear. This square is situated above a drawing of Mary - mother of God - but the angle is off and the elements don't align perfectly. Mary - who has a hand placed over her heart - is drawn with a blue, hooded robe atop a long-sleeved red shirt with a gold trim. She's wearing a doubled-up pearl necklace, which resembles the halo that is around both of their heads. This halo is made up of white, wrapped-up pellets of drugs. The background for Mary is a blue colour while María's is purple. On the border, the phrase "nombres/given name" (which is usually present on Colombian passports) is written, and below the border, in a larger text, it says "llena eres de gracia". The lineart is a thin, invariable, and dark blue.]

For Blanca for the OC assumptions!

🤍 She either has a bunch of cute cell phone charms, or she secretly wishes she did

🤍 She hates the taste of bitter things

🤍 Her phone wallpaper was always Sanrio until she became friends with Toki. Now it's a selfie of the two of them, and she get really embarrassed when people notice

AAAAHHH! THESE ARE SO GOOD i had to write a scenario for the last one under the cut :,) <3

10/10 yes! she has a container full of old ones she used before that she can’t part with because they’re too cute to throw away! the latest one she has on her phone is a sparkly skull charm. she totally tries to find the more “metal” ones to use but i mean….. c’mon…… she’ll pick out like, one edgy charm and three cute ones and buy them all

7/10, she has that genetic thing that makes cilantro taste bitter and soapy. she gets clowned on SEVERELY because of it at family functions. but once in a while she’ll have straight black coffee or add less creamer into it “cause coffee’s supposed to wake you up and make you feel bad when you drink it”. so overall she doesn’t love bitter tastes but she likes them in some rare circumstances

10/10 GET HER ASS!! it used to be that her lock screen was this and her home screen was a picture of hello kitty and cinnamoroll. buuuuut nooowwwww her home screen is that selfie with toki. when they eventually get together, she sets it to both. >:) (fuck i gotta draw this now)

blanca makes the mistake of leaving her phone unlocked on the table after she answers a text. see, you’d think she’d learn from last time when skwisgaar swiped it and took like, 10 selfies on it, but no! (toki joined in at one point. she totally kept that one.) she leaves her phone unattended while she gets up and walks outside to stretch out her legs since she’s been drawing for about 3 hours straight. nathan passes by on his way to the studio and does a double take when he notices her wallpaper.

is that…?

he squints and picks up the phone, giving the screen a tap when it dims so it doesn’t lock.

…oh my god it is.

when blanca comes back inside and sees nathan with her phone, she freezes.

blanca: w-what are you- PUT THAT DOWN!

nathan: wow. pretty fucked up you got a picture of you and toki but not with the rest of us.

blanca’s stammering trying to come up with an explanation but she can’t! she tries to snatch her phone back from nathan but he just holds it up higher. she’s short, what’s she gonna do? tackle him for it? pff. nah, this is funny.

blanca: GIVE IT BAAAACK!

she’s getting on tiptoes, jumping up, nothing. she’s not getting that phone back until he hands it to her.

nathan: i mean it’s a cool picture, don’t get me wrong. but i know you took one with me and pickles that day too.

he’s totally laughing at her red face and her sad attempts to get her phone back. he just holds it up higher.

blanca: I-I JUST LIKE THE WAY I LOOK IN THAT ONE! SHUT UP! god you’re so annoying! give me my phone back! don’t you have some vocals to record or something?! give- GIVE IT BACK!

nathan: just think- just think it’s kinda mean, that’s all. i thought you and me were cool. damn. guess not.

blanca: WE’LL BE COOL ONCE YOU GIVE ME MY GODDAMN PHONE!

nathan: jesus i’ve never seen you smile that big. hah. you always look so pissed off. are you high in this pict-? oh. hm. no, i guess you’re not. your eyes aren’t red.

blanca’s a fucking wreck now and she’s smacking her hands against his arms, swearing at him in half spanish, half english. he’s cracking the hell up and he finallyyyy gives her phone back so he can go to the studio. but before he leaves…

nathan: …he’s into you too, y’know. wouldn’t shut the fuck up about you the other day.

blanca: wait

blanca: what

blanca: WHAT?!

aaaaand nathan’s gone without another word. ay blanquita.

EVERY YEAR THE SAME

[jackredfieldwasmyjacob]

btw i am gonna talk about la elección interna but the songs were released while i was on vacation so now i'm slowly going through them (for now i've listened to 65/100). they are now choosing the final 12 songs (the second semifinal ends tomorrow) and i've voted in the last few polls, but i am also planning on making a post about the final 12 songs cause those theoretically represent the kind of artists / songs people are more excited to see represent spain in eurovision this year
