#ive never took a nice picture since my birth/j

[lady-plantagenet]

shipping bingo george and isabel :)

~ Did anyone expect anything different ~ hh. You indulge me my friend ;).

Some Comments: I am picky about it, because like most of us weirdos on here I feel somewhat protective of how my OTP is depicted, but given how it is almost never shown as anything other than a terrible relationship full of abuse and neglect (entirely based on given author’s need to exalt Anne/Richard III in its place or their inexplicable hatred towards Clarence) at this stage my standards are so low I will accept anything that shows the relationship as remotely pleasant. Not only do I read fic/would but I write fic, so one step ahead hehheh. You may have noticed I didn’t pick ‘complicated’ because even though I doubt there were never tensions among them (given what happened historically), the relationship in itself had none of the unconventionalities that would indicate that their feelings were anything towards each other but loving and faithful - they were barely ever apart! This in itself makes it at once unconventional and (given Clarence’s track record at switching loyalties at his displeasure) downright intriguing. I put softly both for my feelings and the circumstancial evidence that indicates that the marriage served as a sort of cushion for both against the visccitudes they would face in their lives. Unhealthily... ok I’m not talking about myself but rather that the marriage itself had also led to severe issues: Clarence spinning out of control after her death, Isabel becoming severed from her family, Isabel losing her child during their crossing into the channel. Like who knows, if they married other people maybe both would have lived longer lives.

The Ship:

Honestly, I harp on about these two loads and I will not write everyone an essay about why I inexplicably like this pairing so much (apart from the fact that I am technically a product of this union lmao). But I’ll still add... George x Isabel is very unassuming from the outside, just a conventional arranged marriage right? Sure, Edward taking great pains to veto it it has the whole forbidden love angle and (according to contemporary commentator: J. de Wavrin in Recueil des Chroniques et Anchienne Istories de la Grant Bretaigne, à Present) he had even briefly put George in house arrest when he was bringing it up (lmao), but it’s not Edward IVxElizabeth Woodville or Jacquetta Woodville x Richard Woodville or the other famous love matches. Without going into its more well-known dramatisation-worthy elements, I will just say that, on objective analysis, it was a union that brought a fulfilment neither would otherwise have had. George’s greatest power and influence came from being Warwick’s political heir and a feudal magnate, not the prince he was from birth. The years (1473-1476) he had spent being ‘good lord’ (beside Isabel) were most likely the only time in his adult-life he had felt any sense of happiness (in the Aristotelian manner of speaking), having his worth confirmed. He was praised heavily by Rous and it was only within those years that he did not make any move for the crown (until Isabel died that is). Isabel had grown up most likely expecting to grow into the greatest lady of the realm, sure most noblewomen did but she was heiress to one of the greatest and richest barons in England’s entire history. Sure, her father and husband rebelling caused the patrimony (and matrimony) to be lost in 1470, but had it not been for those strange circumstances Isabel may have never inherited the humongous share that she did (because she would co-inherit with her cousin Montagu and sister Anne).

It was very down to Clarence’s merit as an orator and counsel (Crowland praised him heavily on his talented performance in the inheritance trials) and extraordinary perseverance that she could live the life she had probably envisioned for herself since she could speak. It is also a nice trope subversion of the hero using his sword in a duel to champion the lady, here the ‘hero’ fought hours and hours in court and against his brothers and with his mind as his weapon. It was an outcome which she herself had fought for at the expense of her father, mother and sister (by clandestinely liaising with Edward IV while in France to bring her husband back into favour - this message passing was reported in Philippe De Commynes’ writing). Of course, that action could also be construed out of a deep love on her part, it must have been very deep given the risk was her family’s safety. And there’s a litany of clues that point to not only how inheriting the massive legacy of Warwick was a joint-enterprise but also how strong the bond must have been for someone like Clarence to have (as a man) visibly represented himself as marrying into his wife’s family as opposed to vice versa. I mean he wasn’t some humble suitor below her dependent on her name and fortune, after all though she may have been noble but he was a prince! He buried himself with her (among her ancestors), constructed a tower at Warwick castle and named it the ‘Clarence and Bear’ tower (the bear signifying Isabel’s ancestral emblem), took part in her ancestor’s numerous traditions (Hicks) and there’s others but I feel like this is already turning into an essay (which I promised it would not!). Add to all this the fact that the Neville name had become disgraced by that point, the aforementioned aren’t the actions of someone who cares only for the crown, because if he did he would have distanced himself as much as possible from his wife and the legacy of her father and mother. His extravagant reaction to her death and her obsequitious funeral is probably the only reason she is even remembered at all today. There’s still more I can say but here have some pieces of trivia which are more rarely considered as fodder for this ship. I mean sure, I can’t prove it was a great love match, but I stand by the belief that no one living today can prove beyond reasonable doubt that any two people 5 centuries ago were in love. However, the pieces of trivia against the factual picture taken as a whole makes it for me as true a ship/OTP as any other historical pairing.

For

 the queen, I’ll try my best (seriously tho why are you so nice? Like ???? how ??? Queen Luna is so freaking amazing)

AND NO IT’S REALLY NOT YOUR FAULT ADS:DLFJK omg

That really does sound fun! (lowkey jealous lol) hope you have a fantastic time!

Thanks! And, well, I was thinking of a very neutral blue-grey color scheme because it’s Ilumi, but then that also feels weird because of his green outfit? (like sure he has different oufits too but that weird green needle suit is the most well-known. Like, it’s the thing cosplayers always wear, the one he’s drawn wearing in most of the fanart…)

Illumi has his eyes on you

(this is probably true)

Do you think Kikyo and Silva (Mr. and Mrs. Zoldyck) ever bothered to teach that to him? They must have encouraged it. From a clip I watched recently it seems that Silva knew about the needle Illumi put in Killua’s head and was pretty much cool with it(…)

He’d drag Armin along with him. If Armin’s genius somehow wasn’t enough to put him into the top ten, Illumi’s really not above using Dead Eyes Intimidation + Zoldyck connections to make sure he’d get there…and then the needle would make sure Armin would never, ever dream of joining the Survey Corps or the Garrison.

That’s extremely accurate XD

Also, look at this cut exchange from Cabinet Battle 2:

Jefferson: Can you do me a favor?

Hamilton: Depends. I can try.

J: Can you tell Angelica Schuyler I said hi?

H: She’s never mentioned you.

J: She’s not the type who shares. But since you’re so interested in foreign affairs…

(Ouch.)

Yes, Eliza’s awesome ;-;

Well, the word got around, they said, ‘This kid is insane, man!’

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland

‘Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came and

The world’s gonna know your name.

What’s your name, man?’

Kuroiwa is very much dead. Wonder how Takeomi’s gonna feel about this…first Yoriko, then his dad…;-;

Awww, at least you have tumblr friends? *hugs* and tbh I don’t have any fellow manga/anime fan friends over here either (though maybe that’s just because I don’t have any friends here at all lol)

Please join me in HxH hell. Please. I- I need someone to sob with me because I’m only like seven or eight volumes in and I just met Chrollo and omg please I have literally 0 friends in the HxH fandom (jk jk, just the fact that you listen to me rant out my favs is enough for me. TYSM for being such a queen <3)

And actually, it’s nowhere near as bad as TG or AoT! Like, it has emotional moments, but there aren’t that many character deaths? Like, sure, people die, some favs die, but so far it’s still reasonable and nobody seems to be rage-quitting the manga because of pointless angst.

Chrollo always looks good but yeah, that last style does uit him really well :)

Ging is horrible, but like you said, at least he tries and acknowledges that he’s a bad parent. In his own way. I mean, the whole journey to find him was something he designed himself to help Gon grow as a hunter (though that also connects to Ging’s slightly problematic habit of treating Gon more like a hunter to train than a child to raise…)

Excuse me Queen Luna do not compare yourself to this trashcan. He doesn’t deserve it.

I haven’t even met Pouf in the manga yet and I kinda love him.

ALL THE HAM/ELIZA FEELS.

I’m sad to say I did not cry at all during Hughes’ death/funeral. I felt a lot of pain but the tears just didn’t come OTL

I’m glad you appreciated the puns ;) (Seriously though seeing the blog back is so exciting <333)

Also: I will now send you some pics of Chrollo’s troupe members (AKA his loyal fellow criminals he’s so proud of them all), and of Ging’s student (Gon’s father figure), if that’s ok?

And I might gift you a surprise fic soon…I promise that it won’t be too angsty. Really. I would never lie to the queen :D

Last thing- is it ok if I rant more about OCs sometime? Mainly about the Love Interests for that Otome Game I mentioned a while ago (the thing I was trying to write a script for)…I’d just like some opinions on the LIs *Lenny Face*

Hi i’m back and ready to die.

I hate school, have I ever mentioned that?

Anyway, lately I’ve been losing my motivation for everything basically and that includes coming onto Tumblr, and I was wondering, do you have any app that has an instant messaging system? This is nothing against you personally, but my replies will be really slow, since I don’t even turn my computer on much these days… In fact, I feel incredibly guilty that I take so long to answer, I just don’t have the motivation…

On a happier note, I finally watched Civil War! And I ship Stony.  My heart is not okay.

Um what else happened… Norway is absolutely beautiful? It’s a place where fairytales would take place, especially the fjords. And I also saw a ton of Thor statues lol

I’d scream if Illumi had his eyes on me. If I’d have the time to before dying that is.

While we’re on HxH, that picture of Hisoka you sent me is just mmmmmm nice abs  He looks less trashy with his hair down. 

well fuck kuroiwa is dead… 

oh god trust me id be a shitty parent. a very very shitty parent. there’s a reason why i don’t want kids and the pain of giving birth is only a small part of it. not to mention i don’t have the patience to deal with a small human who can only shit or cry.

gah i know there was something else i wanted to tell you but forgot hnnnngh

uh well, ive returned to tg, so much about quitting. as long as my sweet sunshine is present, I’ll come back at any time. i just sincerely hope it is actually him and not a fake. 

oh yeah, ive started rereading soul eater! it’s a good manga, you just have to get past the first 2-3 volumes for it to get good. the initial parts are pure ecchi. 

i might spam the blog w some pictures of norway later ^^;;

sorry for the short&all over the place response, I’m just so so tired, even tho it’s only been one week of school. I blame my period.

Anyway, the next one will be longer, I swear!  I hope you’re not too mad…

[edit:] I REMEMBERED WHAT I WANTED TO SAY

I SAW BOOK OF ATLANTIC. LIZZY. MY BABY. SHE FINALLY GOT HER SCENE IT WAS BEAUTIFUL ALSO UNDERTAKER. DAAAAAAAAMN

oh and i’ve gotten around to watching Death Note and it casually broke my heart. good to know, good to know.

School with the MAGCON boys pt 2

My second day at my new school. i wake up at 6:30 and get ready for my day. i have shower, brush my teeth, comb my hair have my breakfast. i chose to wear a white croptop, blue ripped jeans, black hoodie, boots and a gold pendant. i curled my hair and i did a nice bold wing on my eye i then left the house. i walked to school today while i enjoyed the early morning air. i get to school and walk to my locker to get my stuff out before im interrupted by Nash. “Hey...”

“Hi...” i reply

“are you ok?”

“Yeah... why wouldnt i be?” i say

“you seem a little...tense.” he said

“Im great... honestly.” i say with a warm smile.

“You wanna get dinner some time?  seriously.”  he says as i look into his eyes. they were beautiful i the quickly snapped out of my daze.

“Sorry, i really dont know im... just.. urgh never mind.” i walk away confused. this never happens ive never been on a date...

i walk quickly to where Mahogany told me to meet her. i see her and i run and tell her what happened.

“wow Hamilton Nash Grier asked you to  go on a date?! I dont believe it. girl your to loving for him!” she says sounding really kind and motherly.

“I just stuttered and walked away... i cant talk to guys. other than shaw and my dad.” i say  bit down.

“Hey dont be sad. your beautiful i’m not surprised the boys are going out their minds every time you walk past them!” she smiled.

“What?! how do you know?” i say confused.

“They tell me everything, you would be surprised when you hear what they talk about.” 

i was suddenly more intrigued with our conversation.”Can i ask you a question?”

“What?”

“What does it feel like to have a mum?” i say trying not sound sad or depressed.

“Why would yo- oh, right well it feels amazing, you feel loved, wanted and best of all you feel at home.” she closes her eyes sighs and then opens them and smiles.

“sounds...Nice” 

the bell rings and i have Biology again. i walk to bio with my books. i walk into class and sit down in my seat. i open my books and start reading and writing as the rest of the class enter. as im writing i feel a tap on my shoulder. “You dont have to go if you dont want to...” i hear Nash say. i lift my yes off my work and make eye contact him. “What time?”

“Huh?” 

“What time do you wanna meet up?” i say with a cheeky smile.

“Uhh...urr.. 6;30?” he says his face gleaming with joy.

“Sure where do you wanna meet up?”

“The Bakery on oakstreet?”

“Cool its only a 2 minute walk from my house.”

i return to doing my work.

----The School had to be evacuated after there was a fire in one of the science labs and a bunch of chemicals were interfered with so it wasnt safe enoughfor students to be on campus, so we haad an early finish at 12;30. My dad heard the news and came to pick me up in his car. i go a ride home. As im getting into the car I see Nash smiling at me, i wave and then get in the car. 

“A boy you like a presume?” my dad said cheekily

“Dad! how did you know?! im joking.” 

“hey you can speak to me. im here for you hun.” he said reassuringly.

“Dad you know how you said you will support me through whatever decision i make well... can i go out on a... you know... a... date with a school mate today at 6:30?” i say fearing he might say no.

“Sure! Why not? your a teenager go have some fun and do something. just not drugs or alcohol please.” 

“dad why would i do any of those things im a good girl!” i say with a sheepish smile.

~~~~~Getting home~~~~~

I got home and got the juicer out of the cupboard and juiced some carrots, apples and raspberries it doesnt taste that great but it does wonders when it comes to not having an achy tummy. I look through my bag and find a note i open it up and Nash wrote his number in it. I added his number to my contacts. i then sat on my bed and opened up my laptop i started editing some pictures that i took with my camera. i was super into photography. i then plugged my headset in and listened to my music. i pick up my phone up from my bedside table  and text Nash. 

Hey its me Zahra Xxx

Hey:) X -N

I’m so bored what you doin? -Z

Not much just looking after my sister-N

My dad was so chill when i asked him if i was allowed out.-Z

That was you dad?! he looks too young to have kids-N

I was born when he was 17 and im not ashamed to say i was an accident.-Z

Never met her. she died giving birth to me.-Z

im sorry...-N

Its ok. i don’t really have any feelings towards her, i never ke who she was. but my grandparents say she was great.-z

Can we meet a little Earlier?-N

Sure i need to go now, see ya! XXX-Z

i put my phone down and walk to my cupboard and choose my outfit. i wore a dark blue knee length dress with white heels but a small heel since i didnt need to be any taller.  then flipped my hair to one side and used a bobby pin to keep my hair in place. i then put on some lipbalm and sat down listening to music and texting Shawn and Mahogany for the next 2 hours.

-two hours later-

The door bell rings at 6:00. i take my phone and run downstairs to answer the door. i open the door to see Nash wearing a tux with a smile on his face. “Hi” he looked so handsome.

“Hey i told you i’d be early”

“Wait how did you get my address?!”

“Jack J”

my dad comes out of the bathroom and puts his hand on my shoulder and says “Go have fun sweetie!” i take my bag and slip my phone and keys in. Nash shakes my dad’s hand and they both smile.

“Sir your daughter is beautiful you know that.”

“I know...” replied dad, I smiled at my dad and then linked arms with Nash as we start walking. we went  to an Italian place, it was ok but it wasn't that much of a big deal but it was a cute place for a first date.  It wasn’t boring at all , in fact it was fun, we were talking about so many things, i actually felt like i was getting close to someone but That’ll all be gone when i have to get on that plane and fly somewhere els for the next 2 semesters.we leave the resturant and as we were walking we came to a halt in the middle of an ally way as the sun began to set he pushed me onto a wall and lifted my chin up. i stared into his wonderful blue eyes. i knew exactly what was gonna happen, i turn my head and close my eyes. “im sorry..” i sigh “I let you down. i led you on. and i shouldn't have...”

“You don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to.” he says to me in a calm sweet tone.

“Maybe i do..” i kissed him passionately. He lifted his lips away from mine and gently tucked  my fringe behind my ear. i just couldn't stop grinning. he walked me home and just before i went into my house i gave him a peck. and then ran up to my room. i then opened my bedroom window and waved him goodbye.

i then ran back downstairs to the living room and hugged my dad.

“papa, i love you!”

“Why are you so happy?”

“Guess” i say mockingly

“MY BABY GIRL HAD HER FIRST KISS!” he shouted in joy!

“Quiet down dad!” i say while he hugged me.

“Don’t grow up too fast! your gonna make me feel old.” he said with a bit of sadness in his voice.

“I won’t papa im always your lil girl:)”

“I dont mind if you grow up but just dont leave me”

“DAD STOP SAYING THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!”

i give him one last hug and return to my room. I look through my bag and get my phone out and texted mahogany and shawn about the “date” that i had. something was off they were acting weird.

I go to sleep at 10:30 and wake up at 11:45. i heard knocking on my bedroom window. i grab a baseball bat from the corner of my room and turn on my lamp, readying myself for combat. i open the curtains and see a shadow. i then saw the a face. it was Nash. I open the window and let him in. he comes in and locks the window behind him he then looked back in awe. “What are you looking at?” i say confused.

“you look good, really good.” he says

i look down and face palm realizing my choice of nightwear was quite revealing to say the least. i went grabbed my robe and put it on.

“ shit i forgot what are you gonna do? tell your pals you saw me wearing short shorts and a bra” i said slightly panicking

“Im not gonna say a word but damn!”

“ok shut up. why are you here?!”

“I got locked out. my mums gonna freak if she finds out i haven’t got my keys. i have my duffel bag with my clothes in it”

“I thought you didn’t have your keys. how did you get the duffel bag?”

“I went to Matt’s house i left it there a while ago... there is no school tomorrow, they’re still fixing the labs up.”

“What do you expect me to do?”

“I just thought i can crash the night here..”

“My dad is gonna kill me but im gonna be nice and let you sleep on the floor.”

“Your amazing!”

“im gonna go put on a  jumper.” i leave the room and walk to the bathroom. i slip on  a jumper and walk back into my room to see Nash wearing sweat pants but he was shirtless. i blush and get some blankets out from my cupboard. I then lay them out o the floor making it comfortable enough to sleep on. i then jump onto my bed and laid there trying to sleep. “You wanna come up here... its more warmer and cmfortable...”

“Yeah..if its ok with you?”

“Yeah..”

he got on the bed and went sleep hugging me close. i fell asleep in his warm embrace. it was so easy.
