🪽royal musings

it’s the eve of the Queen’s birthday and a grand ball is in order. With this, plans to find the princess an eligible suitor is set as well. The dearest princess dances, one suitor after another. Only to get bored and retire to the refreshment table, sparing polite glances and short acknowledgments to nobles from all across the kingdom.

In the corner of her eye, she spots them. Her knight in shining armour, but only she is aware of this title. Her knight, always on guard and on watch around their princess. The knight spares their princess a glance, a subtle nod before looking back away into the ballroom.

The princess isn’t aware of how much they long for her, how underneath their armour they wish to be her last dance of the evening. The knight does not know how much she wants for them to whisk her away into the night, walk around the moonlit gardens and speak softly into each other’s ears.

Dearest princess returns to her throne, next to the King and Queen, releasing a somber sigh as she sits down. Her countenance drawn, her demeanor much more shy and reserved than when the night started. The Queen holds her hand, giving it a squeeze before getting up and slowly making her way towards the knight. Though the ball had been an opportunity to match her daughter with a suitable prince from a neighboring kingdom, she wasn’t blind to the pining that was shared between the two. She could see her own mother whisper down to the knight and watched as she walked back to the throne.

Moments later, the knight arrives to the her side. “Dearest princess, I am to escort you out of the grand ballroom at once. It is quite late in the evening, shall we?” Her mother gives her a knowing glance before she rises and leaves with the knight.

The evening is quiet, and from the large stained glass windows, one could see the moonlight piercing through. No words are exchanged till the princess sighs and turns to them. “I don’t find myself tired yet, may we walk through the gardens?” she asks, “the weather is nice tonight and I’d like to stare at the moon for a while.” The knight only complies, leading them through the castle halls, “of course, my princess.”

In the royal gardens, lined with rows of rosebushes and hydrangeas, surrounded by trees of wisteria, the two find themselves seated inside the glass gazebo. Arms interlinked, the princess sits quietly, watching the moon as if it was speaking to her. The knight watches her, examining just how the moon lights her skin. In this garden, she is the most beautiful flower of them all.

Mustering up their courage, they unlink their arm with hers. “Princess,” they clear their throat as they get up, “a lady of your status has no reason to dance with a lowly guard but…” With this, she looks over at them, standing tall and proud with a shy grin. “May I be your last dance tonight?”

Perhaps the moon had listened and to each other’s delight, find one another exactly where they wished to be. Taking their hand in hers and holding her waist securely, the two dance into the quiet evening. A midnight waltz for the two to enjoy.

How to say "be the butch knight to my femme princess and devote yourself to me eternally" but in like a casual way

[honeyby]

if you think ppl shipping lesbians with dudes is homophobic what are your thoughts on ppl who draw them as dudes? gender bending? is that also homophobic? if not why? (this turned into a thesis ask apparently)

I feel like that’s been better discussed here. That’s specifically in response to gender bending the cast and thus pairing Ilia with men, but I think the replies I’ve linked sum it up well (and in hindsight I have to agree with @knightbutch and @rwby-analysis). 

I’m not a fan of gender bending in general, but that might just be me personally. Gender bending just one member of a gay couple though is definitely an issue (because if you can’t ship it when it’s two women or two men that’s a problem).
