Tewkesbury x Gn reader, them being both love sick idiots

masterlist

Tewkesbury is meant to be paying attention, but he’s not. Again. Enola’s been trying to brief him on all the latest scatterbrained clues she’s somehow twisting together into one intricate braid of a plan, but it all just sounds like fragments of nothing to him. When Tewkesbury has no idea what’s going on, he zones out. It’s not his fault.

In his defense, there is a lot happening in his life at the moment. If his position in the House of Lords didn’t bring him enough trouble already, because Parliament is an active traincar hurtling towards a new wreck every week, Enola’s gotten them both wound up in yet another murder case. At this point, he wouldn't be surprised if she’s causing these things just to give them a bit of entertainment. It seems likely at least half the time.

There’s something else on his mind, too, if Tewkesbury is in the habit of being honest. Someone, technically. There’s someone who’s come into his life, someone new, someone extraordinary, and the thoughts of where they were and what they were doing recently are far more pleasant thoughts than Enola’s discovery of two bodies with their throats slit.

Someone claps their hands right in front of his eyes and Tewkesbury flinches back, startled. He squints irritably at Enola, who glares right back at him. “What was that for?”

Enola’s scowl has been perfected over practice. “You’re not focusing. I’ve been talking about only the weather for the last three minutes and you never even noticed the abrupt change of subject.”

Tewkesbury frowns. “That would explain why I was suddenly thinking about storm clouds. It is supposed to rain later tonight, though. Excellent observation.”

Enola just huffs, vexed. “I had made several other excellent observations if you were in the habit of listening to me, which you’re not, obviously. So what’s up with you, then?”

He blinks at her in surprise. “What, sorry?”

Enola waves a hand at him in consternation. “You’re pretty clearly preoccupied with something else. What in the world could possibly be more important than another murder case? Has Parliament passed another bloody terrible law, then?”

Tewkesbury shakes his head. “No, not that. Well, yes, they’re always making awful compromises, but that wasn’t what I was thinking of.”

“Then what was it, then?” Enola asks. “Spit it out so we can get back to business. Otherwise you’re just going to go back to thinking about it again.”

“Wise thinking,” Tewkesbury admits. “Very well, then. I was thinking about someone I like.”

He can’t help but smile as he says it at the thought of this particular person. He waits for Enola to do something Enola-like such as swat him on the shoulder or complain to the heavens about why she was burdened with such an easily distracted partner in solving crime, but neither reaction occurs. Instead, she just shrugs and says she figured as much.

It’s funny, he can still remember a time in which Enola would vigorously tease him for so much as mentioning a conversation between himself and someone he was thinking of courting, but no more, it seems. She’s grown up. He has too. They’ve had no choice in the matter, not after what they’ve been through. Time comes for everyone, you either survive or find yourself buried alive in the past. Tewkesbury has been doing his best to continue outrunning the boy he had been, and it appears that Enola has been sprinting just as hard as him.

Regardless, he’s pleased by it. Tewkesbury recently bruised his shoulder and he doesn’t think he’d appreciate a swat aimed in its general direction any time soon. 

“So?” Enola prods. “Who’s the mysterious person? I want details. Do I have competition in the solving of crimes? Because if so, you’ll have to let them know that they have to find someone else. I’m not interested in you for a courtship, of course, but I’ve already gone to the trouble of telling you all my clues, I don’t want to have to train anyone else in the matter.”

Tewkesbury snorts. “You’ll have no worries on that front. No, I’m not solving mysteries with this person, and yes, I am courting them. You’re safe on both counts.”

Enola’s brow furrows. “If you’re not solving crimes, why are you possibly interested in them?”

He just barely manages to turn his laugh into a polite cough. “Not all of us are quite so tempted in stabbings and lacerations, Enola. She’s a perfectly lovely person, we get along splendidly. They listen to me talk about plants and I love walking about the town with them.”

She narrows her gaze at him. “You haven’t mentioned a single name thus far. Who is this mysterious interest of yours?”

This time he does snort in disbelief. “You’ve got to be out of your mind if you think I’m telling you any identifying information. You’d stalk them or something.”

“It would only be for your own good,” Enola frowns, “Shame, though. I was sort of thinking about setting you up with one of my friends. They’re tough as nails and very clever in the whole investigation business, I would have thought you’d like them. Perhaps they were too good for you, though, since you won’t take any of this as seriously as you should.”

Tewkesbury rolls his eyes. “I’m sure. Okay, you’ve wrung me of information. Go on with your clues, I’m paying attention this time.”

“Are you sure?” She asks, suspicious.

“Of course I’m sure,” he tells her. He’s not. Mere moments after Enola turns back to her tracings of plaques and hastily scribbled down house addresses, Tewkesbury is thinking fondly of the time they’d walked through the gardens east of this place. There had been the most beautiful medicinal herbs, and absolutely no murders. Truly a wonderful experience.

It would have been a better use of Tewkesbury’s time to have focused, though, because as Enola is reviewing her information, she gasps with a sudden realization and then they have to take off through the streets in search of a key eyewitness they had previously overlooked. That eyewitness turned out to have been behind it all, and then Tewkesbury blinked and found himself being held at gunpoint. How joyous.

The guy’s damn near crazy, leading to Tewkesbury to wonder again why on earth he keeps finding himself mixed up in all of this. He and Enola are both trying to reason with the guy, goading him into dropping his guard at least just a little bit so Enola can get the jump on him, but every time their attacker’s hand dips a millimeter, he raises it just as quickly.

There’s no getting out of this, or so it seems, at least. Every minute, the guy seems more and more inclined to shoot them both and get rid of any evidence that he’d been involved in all this. Out of the corner of his eye, Tewkesbury catches a flash of motion, but it’s probably just wishful thinking. The two of them had set off in quite a rush for the eyewitness’ location in the hopes of hearing useful clues before the police or other investigators could catch up to them, which unfortunately means that no one will be coming to save them.

Or, perhaps that might not be the case after all. The flicker of movement comes again, this time not from Tewkesbury’s side but in front of him. A silhouette emerges from the gloom behind their attacker. Tewkesbury does his best to keep his gaze firmly trained on the guy waving a gun at him, which isn’t too difficult to do, just to make sure the murderer doesn’t catch onto their rescuer before any saving of lives can occur.

The blink of an eye; the shine of dim lighting on wood, and then their would-be killer is out like a light, limbs sprawling on the ground. The gun doesn’t go off, thankfully, and Tewkesbury kicks it under a nearby table and out of harm's way as soon as he can.

While he’s handling the weapon, he hears Enola’s voice rise with delight. “And here I thought we were the only ones in this case! Y/N, you’re the best.”

“Just like always, huh?” Their rescuer says, and then Tewkesbury’s whipping around, unable to hide the thrilled grin on his face.

“Y/N?” He asks, confused but wonderfully happy.

They’re grinning at him too, even more so when Tewkesbury rushes forward to wrap his arms around them, spinning them off of the ground in one excited loop. It’s not too proper of him, of course, but there is no one to see them here but Enola, and he really, really, likes seeing Y/N, especially when they’re saving him from death by bullet.

Enola is still definitely here, though, and she’s staring between Tewkesbury and Y/N as if she’s lost her mind. “I’m sorry, when did the two of you ever know each other? Least of all well enough to do all of that?”

Tewkesbury laughs. “I believe I forgot to do introductions. Enola, this is Y/N, the person I was speaking of earlier.”

Enola’s jaw drops. “You’re courting Y/N L/N? No. No, they would have told me. Y/N, why didn’t you tell me?”

Y/N just grins. “You’re the master detective, I assumed I wouldn’t have to tell you.”

Something is dawning on Tewkesbury, and he looks between Y/N and Enola with mounting levels of shock. “Wait, Enola, when you said you were sad to hear I was courting someone because you wanted to set me up with your friend, did you mean Y/N?”

“Yes,” Enola confirms, “I didn’t realize you were actually seeing them, though.”

He nods. “Do you take back what you said about them being too good for me, then?”

“No,” Enola says cheerfully.

Y/N grins. “I’m just glad to hear I’m highly thought of.”

Enola harrumphs. “Tewkesbury’s also highly thought of, apparently. Y/N can’t stop talking to me about this fantastic boy they’ve been seeing, how he’s just wonderful and courteous and brilliant and whatnot. They wouldn’t tell me a name either.”

Tewkesbury looks at Y/N with a grin, who’s conspicuously not meeting his eyes. “You said all those nice things about me to Enola? Really?”

“No need to bring it up again,” they whisper, but he couldn’t care less.

“I think we should bring it up more often, actually,” he tells them, “again and again. I’ll tell you all the wonderful things I told Enola about you. It’ll be a deal.”

Y/N is smiling at him again, blinding and beautiful, and it’s more than enough to convince Tewkesbury to ignore Enola in the back talking about how she’d rather get shot by the murderer than listen to the two of them keep up this nonsense any longer.

The comment does serve to remind Tewkesbury of their purpose here, though. There’s no reason to stick around any longer, and Enola heads out quickly to alert the police of the murderer trying to kill them. That leaves Tewkesbury and Y/N to leave the building by themselves.

Tewkesbury sticks his head out the door with a grimace. “It’s raining,” he tells them.

Y/N frowns. “Drat. I’d worry about my clothes, but I smudged them already trying to grab something heavy to beat that guy with.”

“And you did a marvelous job with the beating,” Tewkesbury promises them. “Completely worth the cost of the clothes.”

He steps out into the rain and extends a hand to them. Y/N accepts it with a smile, allowing him to pull them into a spin before coming to him again. They’ve danced with each other before at various functions and galas, but this time is more fun, more free. 

The rain drums on the rooftops, providing them with all the melody they’ll ever need. Tewkesbury listens to the patter of their feet on the road, the laughter echoing between the two of them. He watches Y/N’s arms raise as they spin, how their hand fits perfectly in his every time. He looks, and he smiles, and he thinks that he would be absolutely content with this being forever. He never wants to leave this moment, and for now, at least, he never will. The rain beats on, and the two of them dance.

Hello, can you explain who sided with who from the peerage during Henry VI Readeption? Which side had more support?

Hi! I'm just going to post an excerpt from False, Fleeting, Perjur'd Clarence: George, Duke of Clarence, 1449-7 by Michael Hicks, which sums up the situation:

“The Readeption had enjoyed the military support of the Dukes of Somerset and Exeter, the Marquis Montagu, the Earls of Devon, Dorset, Pembroke, Oxford and Warwick, Viscount Beaumont, and Lords St. John, Wenlock and Camoys. Of those who had helped restore Henry VI, Clarence, Shrewsbury, Stanley, FitzHugh and Scrope had withdrawn their support; no former Lancastrians [ie: the ones who had made peace with Yorkist England in the 1460s] had returned to the fold and nobody had defected from Edward IV. On Edward’s return to London, he was accompanied by five dukes, six earls and thirteen barons, most of whom had probably fought at Tewkesbury. Lords Say and Cromwell had been killed at Barnet and other peers participated in the Kentish campaign against Thomas Neville, Bastard of Fauconberg. From this it is clear that almost the whole peerage, certainly all the greater magnates, were actively involved in the 1471 campaign. Edward’s army had a strong family tinge, as it included both his brothers, his brother-in-law Suffolk, Earl Rivers and the husbands of five of the Wydeville sisters. It was not merely a faction: there were others without court connections, such as Norfolk and Cobham. Clearly Edward enjoyed the general support of the peerage […]’

Enjoy 💜

"Lavender?" Enola holds the flowers up to her face, inhaling the sharp serenity of the flower's fragrance.

"Lavandula angustifolia," he recites the Latin with ease, fingers reaching out to caress the small purple petals. Enola's eyes flit up towards his, her face tilted in a way that caused her dark lashes to cast a shadow across her face. Tewkesbury's voice becomes hushed despite their relative aloneness as he continues to speak, "When gathered in a bouquet, they're said to mean devotion..." His voice runs off, gaze no longer willing to meet hers.

Enola's face burns. They'd been courting for two years now, not an unusual length in society's eyes, yet whenever he'd shared his feelings through greenery and flowers, she'd always end up with butterflies in her stomach. She could say the words. Yes, "I love you" came out with familiarity and ease. But, his tenderness, the way he showed her affection without words, was something she had never been able to get used to.

"Oh..."

Tewkesbury clears his throat, "Do you have time to take a walk with me today?"

Enola turns towards her desk stacked high with papers, clues, and other information she'd gathered in her investigations. Those matters could wait for now, "I have time now... if that works?"

A sense of ease comes over Tewkesbury's body. He holds out his arm with a warm smile, "Now is perfect."

***

The gardens, fresh with Spring renewal, are quiet today despite it being decently warm and sunny. It only added to the suspense to be so alone with Tewkesbury.

After a few moments of strolling past the familiar flowers and greenery, he begins to speak.

"The flowers," he nods, "I meant to ask you something with the flowers but became too overwhelmed when the time came..." Tewkesbury lets the sentence die, his face having gone slightly white.

"Oh?" Enola feels the rush of adrenaline. She knows exactly where he is going with this conversation; she'd been waiting to see if he'd actually do it for a few months now.

"Come sit with me for a moment," gently, he maneuvers them to a nearby park bench. "Enola... I wanted to ask you something--"

"Yes?" She interrupts, not meaning to.

Tewkesbury smiles, continuing the words he'd rehearsed all week, "I've actually wanted to ask you from nearly the moment I met you on the train all those years ago."

Enola, trying not to twiddle her gloved fingers, nods.

"Almost blurted it out a thousand times in between. Especially in moments where you'd just saved my life... again. You're my-- my best friend, the person I feel most comfortable with, the love of my life--"

Exhaling with a chuckle, Tewkesbury takes her hands in his, "And your brother has given me permission to ask for your hand," his eyes flick up to hers, "So I suppose all I have left to do, is to ask. Will you, Enola Eudoria Heddassa Holmes, do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Her mouth feels suddenly dry.

"Are you sure?" The words come out clumsily, too sudden, too... ridiculous.

"Am I sure--?" Tewkesbury grins, "I've never been so sure of something in my life, Enola. I can't consider a future without you."

The words fill her with joy. She couldn't imagine a future without the nincompoop, either. It was unfathomable, a life without Tewkesbury.

"Then... yes. There is nothing I'd love more, Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilweather."

"Yes?"

"Yes, you nincompoop! Yes, I'll marry you!"

A wide grin comes over his face when her words register, "I didn't sleep all night afraid you'd reject me--"

This word vomit causes Enola to laugh, "I'm afraid you're stuck with me, Tewky."

"I'm so pleased; I'll ignore that nickname this time, Miss Holmes." 

Rolling her eyes, Enola squeezes the crook of his elbow, "What do we do now?"

"Well... truthfully, I'd like to marry before the season has finished."

"So soon?"

Tewkesbury blinks, "We've been courting for quite a while, Enola--"

"Don't weddings take time to plan? You're nobility-- don't you plan--" she moves her hand spiritedly, "exuberant and costly weddings."

"We can marry however you please. I'm quite aware of how you feel about the pageantry of Society."

Enola's brows draw together, "I assumed your mother would be the one to push for a-- a-- well, you know."

A smile stretches across his face, "She might. If she does, I'll make her see reason. She understands patience isn't a virtue I exhibit when it comes to you."

A light blush crosses her cheeks, "No? You did wait an awfully long time to ask--"

"An awfully long-- I waited just the appropriate amount of time. Besides, I had to not seem too eager."

A smile tugs on Enola's lips before she changes the subject, "But really? You had to get Sherlock involved?"

"Yes, of course! I know you don't like the rules of Society, but you can't have expected me not to ask permission to propose. I can't imagine your-- other brother would've liked me very much if I'd completely ignored the rules he holds so dear in his heart."

She scoffs at her betrothed, "Mycroft? A heart? I'm not sure he has one. Besides, men like Mycroft refuse to understand a woman is perfectly capable of deciding who they'd like to marry or if they'd like to marry at all."

"I quite agree, but until the time when men like Mycroft understand, I'd like to keep the peace. Especially between myself and my brothers-in-law." He looks oh so pleased, referring to her brothers as his own family, "Besides, is it really that bad, asking Sherlock? He's nothing like Mycroft."

Enola huffs but doesn't protest, "I suppose it could be worse. It's not as if he'd said no or anything."

"He's never been secretive about liking me."

"That's bold of you, Tewky."

The name he hates, but the way she says it has him beaming, "He said it to me once. I don't believe it's my fault I've let it get to my head."

Enola laughs, "The Great Sherlock Holmes likes you. Big deal. I've had to drag him up a flight of stairs intoxicated--"

if carina survives, and ends up being the one to kill her date, she will be feeling rather sorry for herself, but will probably try her hardest to help in anyway she can.

hailey damon || 26 || aware || unaffected

hailey is going to be staying home that night, though she will be worrying about what may have happened to her mother, not knowing where she is but knowing kate would kill her herself if she was to go out in whatever was happening outside.

rosa diaz || 33 || aware || paired with kate denali

rosa’s competition is a vampire, so lets be real. she’s probably going to end the night very much not alive. She won’t be going down without a fight though, she’s a trained police officer, and has a lot of obscure skills that could help her.

Diary - Tewkesbury Medieval Festival 2023 

I’ve been going to the festival since 2013 and this was the first time since that it took place under grey, occasionally rainy skies. It gave the whole festival a different feel. The infrequent but soothing rain showers actually meant it was probably the most enjoyable time I’ve ever had there. Usually it’s super boiling, barely any shade, and a bit of a mission to manage to feel half-decent throughout its duration. In a previous year, for example, battle reenactors were literally fainting in their encumbering medieval armour. I remember helping hydrate a few, whilst they lay on the ground trying to fight off the punishing heat. No such thing this time - I even stayed to watch the entire battle reenactment (as usually the heat gets too much for me, as a spectator, and so I often leave before the end). The general crowd felt different this year too. There were way more alternative people - so many people wearing Iron Maiden shirts (fresh from the UK tour - you could tell, as they looked super crisp and new), one guy in a The Cure shirt, lots of Sabbath shirts, lots of GNR ones, even one guy in a Cro-Mags shirt which led me to having Doomboy by The Dirty Nil in my head every time I passed him. I did see a few Ghost shirts, but not too much in the way of newer bands representation. My award for best spotted shirt though, goes to the guy wearing a ‘Bob Vylan Is Killing Punk Rock’ shirt. There’s niche and then there’s niche. I didn’t chat to him, but I did raise my figurative glass to that guy. Around 4pm the battle reenactment started - and as I said, I stayed for the whole thing. I managed to take some decent photos too. And yeah, overall it was great… except for… half way back through the town, on foot, and the heavens opened. A violent, raging thunderstorm rolled in and I… well, it was as if I’d taken a shower with my clothes on. I got absolutely soaked. But it didn’t get to me really. It’s just so nice to end the day feeling fulfilled and not regretful in any way.

Moments from different AUs

Don't let yourself be thrown off by anyone. Especially *men.*

Zombie apocalypse (Victorian style)

Just so you know, you completely have spoiled phase three of my plan.

What are those things?

Walkers. London is infested with them.

We'll stop to rest here.

And eat. Maybe sleep.

Don't be an idiot. We'll need to take shifts.

Pokémon

She paused to let the mudsdale-cart gain some distance on them. As the crowd obscured her view of Tewkesbury and Wooloo, Lilipup scratched at her heel. "They'll be fine," she said.

Magic

She could see him at the gate, xlwan and pressed and being fussed over by the Lady. She could also see the bandages over his hands, and thinks of the scars she saw in the portraits of his ancestors.

She could understand why he ran now. The higher the rank, compounded by generations of oaths-- that kind of power is paid and maintained by blood and rites. In coming back, he traded his freedom for his vote.

He looks over and smiles. She smiles back.

"I see you've become the nincompoop you were born to be," she says instead.

Daemon

His legs feel like lead and his ribs burn when he moves and Enola is wobbling on her feet and bleeding, balancing against *****'s white bulk, but El----- shifts into view, back into a familiar fleecy visage, and butts him in the hand. The reminder of the deadly dialog of the last fortnight is what settles things. "Your time is over," he tells his grandmother.

It is hours later, when he realizes she hasn't changed again. "I appreciate the symbolism, but are you certain?"

It is clear, in the light of day, that she had found a form quite unlike the fleecy sapling-muncher she used to favor. "It feels right."

And that is that.

Stat Trek AU

She is the daughter of a scientist who went AWOL. One brother works on a space station, the SS 221b (They fight crime), the other is a minor Federation official. They want to send her to a boarding school on earth. She wants to track down her mother. And her mother taught her to fight.

He is the son of an ambassador. His uncle is a fleet admiral. His grandmother a former high ranking Federation intelligence official. He isn't keen on any of this interplanetary stuff-- he prefers plants and his feet on the ground, please and thank you. But his late father was dealing with a species with a strong belief in parents passing jobs to their children and won't take any other ambassador seriously. He is seventeen, but they have no choice, and so he has even less. No wonder he runs. At least Star Fleet has a place for botany.

They meet on the express transport to San Francisco.

That, or Hikaru Sulu introduces them.

Or both.

Gen 7

Matthew Hawthrone

Born in 1425, Matthew Hawthrone was the first son of Marcus and Samantha Hawthrone, and the heir of Generation 7. His life was relatively uneventful, as he led the simple and typical life of a farmer. He had the chance to meet his grandfather Richard, but Richard passed away when Matthew was still young, leaving him with only vague memories of the man.

In 1448, Matthew witnessed his mother slowly die from illness, a painful experience that left its mark on him. A year later, in 1449, he married Lefquen Rinde, who gave birth to their first child in 1452. In 1454, their next heir was born. From 1452 to 1457, they had five children: Dyota, Egric, Elene, Ethelburge, and George. Like most families of the time, their daughters were either married off or died young, while the sons were raised to work the farm.

Matthew and his father, Marcus, worked closely together, teaching Egric how to run the farm until Marcus passed in 1456. Afterward, Matthew took full responsibility for the family’s land.

In 1460, Matthew was called to fight in the Battle of Northampton during the Wars of the Roses. He returned home, but once again went to war in 1471 to fight in the Battle of Tewkesbury.

Tragedy struck again in 1483, when Matthew’s wife Lefquen passed away. His grief was short-lived, as two years later in 1485, he went to war for the final time at the Battle of Bosworth Field. He survived the battle but died in 1489, leaving behind a legacy of survival through war, loss, and duty to his family.

Clara Hawthrone

Born in 1427, Clara was the first daughter of Marcus and Samantha Hawthrone. She was married off to Thomas Carter in 1441, a wealthy man who provided her with a secure life. Clara and Thomas had four children: Alice, Edward, William, and Isabell. Her role as a wife and mother was typical of women at the time—her existence centered around her family, without much recognition or importance beyond that.

Jeanette Hawthrone

Jeanette Hawthrone was born in 1428, the second daughter of Marcus and Samantha. In 1443, she was married off to John Blackwell. Like her sister Clara, Jeanette’s life was defined by her duties as a wife and mother. She had three children: Henry, Margaret, and Robert. Her life passed quietly, fulfilling her role with little fanfare or acknowledgment.

Octavia Hawthrone

Octavia Hawthrone was born still in 1431. As the third daughter in the family, her death went unmourned. The family quickly moved on from her brief and unnoticed existence. But the wolfs in the forest had a great snack that night.

Ann Hawthrone

Ann Hawthrone was born in 1432, the youngest of the Hawthrone daughters. She lived a short life, dying in 1437 at just five years old. Her death, like many in the family, was met with indifference, as she had no lasting impact on the household. But she too was a great snack for the forests wild life.

Sims 4 History Challenge

Gen 0

(I was playing with the parents before, definitely not recreating a certain movie, before I started the challenge)

William Hawthorne was born in 1280, and three years later, in 1283, Marry Chambers was born. In 1290, both were aboard a ship that sank during the voyage. William, a cabin boy, had taken the job to earn extra money for his peasant family. Marry, the daughter of a wealthier peasant, was travelling with her father. After the shipwreck, William and Marry were stranded on an uninhabited island for several years. With the help of other survivors, they learned how to survive and make use of the island's resources.

As time passed, many of the other survivors perished due to various causes, such as illness, madness that led them to attempt escape by swimming, or violent disputes that ended in murder.

As William and Marry grew older and entered adolescence, they lacked the knowledge and guidance about proper conduct and relationships. Consequently, in 1296, they had their first child, Holden.

In 1297, the pair was finally rescued and returned to their families. However, because Marry had been involved with someone of a lower social class, her family insisted she marry William in 1298 to protect their family's honour. This marriage, however, was not unwelcome by either William or Marry, as they had grown close during their time on the island.

In 1300, shortly after their marriage, their second child and first daughter, Joslyn, was born.

gosh i have to talk about Enola Holmes because that movie makes me FEEL STUFF.

Enola, my goodness she’s such a firecracker. She’s so wild and so smart and so analytical and we LOVE a strong female lead and Millie Bobby Brown just gifted her to us all tied up in a bow. She is so badass, so self affirming and so so confident in herself and her abilities. I want to be her. I absolutely love the corset scene where she screams that she knew it had a purpose (armour) and maybe she thinks that way about everything and that’s what makes her so clever.

Now Viscount Tewkesbury. He definitely grew in my eyes during the film and also Enola’s. Because we first see him and think oh here’s a damsel in distress (love how they flipped the gender roles there) but then we see his mind come into play as he points out the various plants they can eat and from that point on he see his intelligence and bravery too also the decision of putting the armour on is so genius and spur of a moment (we love a character who can handle themselves in a crisis). Also i want to talk about the treehouse. The grandmother said that they ‘discovered’ it recently meaning that the family had no idea it was there, meaning that it wasn’t built by a builder hired by them. Which i supposed points to the fact that he built it, maybe with the help of a few boys who were employed to work on the gardens whom we see Enola exchange clothes with. So this means that our boy Tewkesbury is basically an amateur engineer and i think we all know that that takes brains as well as a lot of reading. ALSO HES A FLOWER LOVING BOY. my lord what more could we need. AND ALSO the fact that he is a feminist.

Special mention to Edith for pointing out that Sherlock who is ‘disinterested’ in politics is only so because the current system suits him and he would rather not have it changed. We love a badass female who gives no shit about how famous this detective is. ALSO the carriage scene; the delivery of emotion? excellent. I shook when mycroft shouted at Enola.

And of course we have to talk about Enola’s mother. Eudoria going out there and trying to make a better world for her daughter? Yes please. Could she have not left her? Maybe but i think she was well aware that Enola could take care of herself. Besides she never intended nor anticipated (because she herself wouldn’t have) that Enola would get so involved in the Teweksbury case. So technically she did not know that she was leaving her daughter to fend for her actual life. I love the upbringing. I love the idea of being brought up that way and would have loved to be brought up that way myself. It just seems very wholesome.

All in all i absolutely love this movie with all of my little heart. And although i haven’t read the Enola Holmes book series, i intend to start immediately after my exams and i can’t wait to see a whole new world with the same characters. (Also wow if you’ve reached the end, you must be as starved for content regarding this new movie as i was)

:)))

OH I FORGOT the pairing, Enola x Tewkesbury , holmesbury, I LIVE FOR IT. gosh it’s so adorable how he can’t move past the fact that she has grown to like him even when she tells that their lives in danger. And how when they’re going up to the house and Enola is all serious and discussing the plan and how she doesn’t know how to embroider but was made to fight (i don’t remember the exact words) and this sweet charming boy fixates on those points because he is just so enchanted and intrigued by this strange incredible girl. And how this is a girl who isn’t shaken up by much but here comes along this boy and he’s looking at her this way and kissing her hand and oh she is SO flustered and has no idea what to do with these FEELINGS. And gosh i need fanfics stat.

ENOLA HOLMES 2 SPOILERS!

My thoughts on the movie! I absolutely LOVED IT I think all that I have to say about it is positive but Holmesbury is my OTP and the first movie used to be my favorite movie ever (now it’s EH2) so I’m probably a little biased lol

• HOLMESBURY OH MY GOD. When they were laughing in the carriage? SOBBED. You were made to fight?? CRYING “I L O V E Y O U “ I LOST IT. HER VISITING THE PARK TO SEE HIM?? THEM GETTING JEALOUS?!? Obsessed anyways next point

• I LOVED Serrana as Bessie she was absolutely incredible!

• I totally guessed that Sarah was cecily. I kind of just got a feeling but I was so happy when I found out I was right lol

• I absolutely thought William was the bad guy. I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn’t though I liked how they did that

• Moriarty?! Wow that was crazy. When they unveiled her I was like 😱

• I loved the whole ball scene in general. Holmesbury? Obviously yes please. Enola with the fan scaring the guy off I LAUGHED LOL, Cecily, the dances, all of it. Very well done in my opinion

• I love the Sherlock and Enola relationship we get in this film!

• Holmesbury being absolute memes makes me 😭😩❤️, like Enola hiding behind the plant, her not listening to Tewkesbury confessing his love for her, “if anyone comes just say you’re a lord or something.” “I am a lord.” FAVES

Anyways I absolutely loved this movie, it left the door open for a third and honestly I would love to see another movie!

[mynonclicheblog]

There was an absolutely beautiful Holmesbury analysis (here) by @ginarickys that made my brain go BUZZ BUZZ with more thoughts on the way these two characters contrast and enhance each others' lives, development, etc... so... um... hello there 👋

Not to start on too much of a personal note, but I generally dislike the idea that a strong/independent female character "shouldn't" have a love interest on the principle that it "weakens" her story - and as a result, I think a lot of why the Holmesbury relationship works so well for me is because Enola's entire lesson/arc in the 2nd movie is dismantling exactly that. It applies to far more than just romance in Enola's case but that makes it even more beautiful.

In the beginning of EH1, she and Tewkesbury exist on opposite ends of two extremes: Enola never ever relies on other people for anything. She was raised to be self-sufficient and break the rules and make some noise, to forge her own path in life. Tewkesbury comes from a world where he's inevitably relied on his family's status and wealth. He was brought up to follow societal rules, to do what is expected of him.

They represent the balance that the other needs. The things they lack individually, the other possesses in spades.

Tewkesbury needed to learn that there are people out there who are unafraid to make a stand, to cause chaos, to fight for what's right. He's always had a bold and virtuous heart, but felt so overwhelmed by his family + societal position that he preferred to run away from it all. He is immediately drawn to Enola because he sees her doing the things he wishes he were brave enough to do for himself. He admires her for it. Eventually, he starts to emulate those traits in his own life as he grows into his duties. It's easy for him to embrace these things and fall in love with Enola, because he is self-aware and soft-hearted and open to such emotional experiences.

Enola, on the other hand, needed to learn that her independence will not lose its value or impact if she does open herself up to emotional partnership with others. Admirable as she is, Enola has a tendency to be stubborn and resolute almost to a fault; it takes the most self-reliant, influential figure in her life (her mother) to make it sink in that she CAN have both. She is not impeded by love, love has the power to make her STRONGER. It's difficult for her to shed her old mindset and fall in love with Tewkesbury, but he is so transparent with his feelings and she eventually realizes this can be a good thing, even something she could benefit from.

They teach each other how to exist more fully and authentically within the lines they're given. It's not about the complete rejection of everything you were born into; it's not about the absolute refusal of help or vulnerability; it's about the balancing act of who you are /=\ who you can be. Accepting that sometimes, "both" is an okay - or even ideal - answer.

Tewkesbury is able to let his guard down and catch feelings for Enola so quickly because from the time they meet, she encompasses everything he already knows he wants, but doesn't have in his life. Rebellion, excitement, chaos, fighting the good fight - he thinks she's a fucking rockstar! He has so much fun on their little overnight adventure that he suggests they continue on their journeys together. It takes Enola longer to reach a place of acceptance regarding her feelings for him because, in her young eyes, allowing herself to fall for a boy would be incongruous with what she's always thought her life should look like... until EH2 (and Eudoria in particular) helps her understand that she doesn't have to sacrifice any of her ambition or independence for love, when she has already found love with a boy who accepts every part of who she is - no conditions, no strings attached.

[sunlight-through-green-leaves]

YES THAT. AAAAAAA I LOVE IT

NETFLIX GAVE US A SOFT SMART YET DUMBASS FLOWER-LOVING BRITISH BOY AND THEN JUST LEFT US TO PROCESS THAT???????????

[biqherosix]

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ keith with an s/o who is the princess of a humanoid race of aliens (i just love the idea of keith with a princess s/o)

wildflower - headcanons

fluff

(voltron legendary defender — romantic! keith kogane x fem! princess! reader)

you're just living the simple cottagecore life in the middle of a galactic war, and with your luck you manage to snag a boyfriend who's smack in the middle of it

cw / none

a/n — fun fact @alteasmoon is the reason the planet of flosferam exists so everyone say thank you moon. i’m so proud of the world i created and hopefully you love it too !! also this turned out super long, so prepare yourselves

before i get into the relationship itself (there isn't even much about the relationship bc i firmly believe any relationship with keith would be a slowburn so it's all minimal) i need to establish some world building facts and such (because i'm super proud of this idea the planet was made in like fifteen minutes how cool !!)

basically you are the princess of the planet flosferam (derived from the words flos feram meaning "wild flower" in latin; yes i am a flower nerd blame tewkesbury)

anyway so the dianthus (that's what the species is called, like how the galran species reign from daibazaal) people are very diverse actually

and a lot of the roles are reversed, most men spend their times in the kitchen with their cooking magic while women are trained to fight and such

many are dainty though and fashion icons

even with the gender norms, many find themselves breaking it and it's not frowned upon, they don't stop or criticize people for wanting the basics such as a family, to fight, etc.

they're basically raised all the same

and your culture is basically the cottagecore aesthetic in it of itself so that's pretty neat (tell me it's a cool planet ik it is)

anyway you meet the paladins when a allura collectively decides to arrive to your planet in hopes of having you join the voltron coalition

keith doesn't think it's a good idea because he's read up on your planet and it seems as though your people had been pretty stagnant when it came to the war (he doesn't know that y'all are actually elite warriors with generations of knowledge in the art of deception and poison- i mean potion making, but allura does ah stan platonic kallura y'all)

"i just don't think they'd bring anything useful to the coalition. i mean, why are they so quiet when there's a galactic war going on? if anything, i think it's best we move on." "but the cute girls?! come on keith just because you're lonely doesn't mean you can ruin our chances." "what chances?"

but with allura being allura, she gets her way (after that conversation between keith and lance), landing the castle of lions onto the luscious green planet with an abundance of clean waterfalls and it's such a sight (pidge is definitely embracing her nature side again thanks to this)

whispers of assumption run through the air, and the team just wanders around until they walk by a pretty unguarded stone castle with vines adorning the walls and purple flowers surrounding the area

keith hears one (1) rustle in the bushes and activates his bayard striking through the garden (rip to your flowers y'all)

it goes from zero to one hundred real quick when team voltron goes from admiring the view (cue your second in command / right hand woman rayla taking them all out despite being outnumbered and putting them in the dungeon bc they were sus and didn't fit in) to waking up in a dark dungeon with minimal light coming from the barred window and no bayards in their holsters

however, rayla didn't know that the bayards could be ✨ summoned ✨

which sucks for her since she didn't even get the chance to interrogate them

she left her watch post for one second to go get water and some snacks and they escaped

unfortunately, lance was too busy grumbling about how they weren't able to meet anyone that when they turned a corner, keith bumped into you

he ended up getting a pretty vine laced dagger held up to his neck from yours truly

reacting quickly, his bayard turns into his respective sword and lays that onto your neck and it's an intense game of who's going to make the first move

it looks like an unfair fight; there's six of them and one of you with no other guards in the halls bc you made sure they were to protect your people first and foremost

but when he meets your intense stare, there's just that fire in your eyes that makes his heart thump and grip the hilt of his sword a little tighter (he's not even paying attention to the paladins anymore, who already have their other weapons pointed on you; you don't back down, pressing the dagger closer despite allura's protests and calm words that you don't pay any mind to)

he's feeling too much emotion at once as his gaze trails down to the wrist holding the dagger; a tattoo of a vine full of purple looking alien tulips (meaning deep love and royalty, flower language for the win) and he's malfunctioning

keith is enamored with you bc let's be real it takes guts to do this to anyone, moreso with someone like keith

and it's not until rayla pulls out the crossbow from behind them that hunk screams out explaining how they're the paladins of voltron that the adrenaline rush fades

it shocks you, because you grew up hearing the folktale, but their advanced technology and attire make sense in the end

finally looking at allura's desperate expression and the familiar altean features the realization washes over

after apologizing immensely, you and rayla do your best to make it up to them, explaining the way y'all are so old fashioned it was just hard to accept at first but that most of flosferam were warriors and would be more than willing to join

allura actually begs you to join them on their journey the night before they're set to leave (she selfishly needs another princess around but also your knowledge in potion making could come up as a good backup when technology fails)

reluctantly after rayla says she can handle things around flosferam (please you trust her with your life and she would die for you, if she asked you to do something you'd do it. besties for life 😌✌🏽) you pack up your mini collection of essential potion supplies and a few clothes and make your way around the universe

initially, after that tense first impression keith wanted to avoid you but he was so entranced it was v v insane of him (he's pretty sure the first time he saw you in your space suit speckled with purple to represent your roots he had a stroke, not that he'd admit it to anyone because feelings? in this economy?)

honestly if it wasn't love at first sight for you, idk what it was folks, and i say that with great reluctance bc keith has a hard time processing what he's actually feeling

but you dance around these feelings for a while, mainly because of the focus on the war came first (then y'all get to earth and everything gets good but oop you didn’t get that from me)

though things started changing the day shiro disappeared

it was definitely a day you didn't like to reminisce (you still remember the ringing in your ears and the shattering of glass when the black lion opened for you to see it empty, preparing a potion for someone who didn't even exist at the moment)

you and keith got a lot closer after that

more like keith getting angry and you deescalating the situation which causes him to break — everytime; yet your patience never thinned (though the rest of the team's patience did; y'all are so slowburn it hurts their souls)

but then you two were silently attached at the hip doing your own thing; when y'all would eat there’s this form of communication only you two knew, maybe sometimes he'd sharpen his blade as you played around with your potions, or you'd casually drop by the training deck and fight him (there may have been lingering touches and longing glances from both parties)

and honestly you thought that was gonna be the most your relationship was gonna get to

but then keith becomes the black paladin? shiro comes back? keith is distancing himself for the blade of marmora? it's all a mess and then keith pushes himself further away and decides to get yeeted into a long term mission for the blades 👎🏽

and you truly feel the weight of your mf feelings for keith in the pit of your stomach

so when he announces his leave and says his goodbyes to the team, coran and shiro shoo everyone out of the room (much to pidge and hunk's protests) and the two of you are left to confront these feelings you've danced around

and because it's not a true keith kogane fic from moi without some angst things get more complicated when you mf kiss him and you're both left to overthink what it could mean

it isn't until you're even on earth that his bestie romelle gets you two to sort out your senses (because she's tiRED of you two just get together already) and it's thanks to her that you're together

okay but you and keith are such a cute couple, there's no doubt that once you're on earth he's out here wandering the garrison teaching you about all the advanced technology

sm forehead kisses and hand brushes and pinky holding !! lance is always so disgusted by your minimal affection but he wants what you have

there isn't much action between you two now that you're in a relationship (well it's exciting but there's a literal mf war going on so your label is official but you still have to work through things) but at least the transition from friends to lovers was such a breeze

but there was this one time you two were so worried about what's to come that you weaved tiny little flowers into tiny little braids at the bottom of his head (yk like hiccup in the httyd sequel) just talking, letting some feelings out, maybe even make out a bit

and y'all didn't even know you stayed up late so when you wake up late for a meeting with everyone you two switched pilot jackets (he's wearing your purple one whilst you're wearing the red one) with his hair still tangled in a floral mess from the night before and shiro can't stop smiling because it was such a precious innocent moment in a precedented time

that's how everyone knows keith is whipped and iverson just has to get them back on track lmao

omg also guess what?? season eight doesn't exist in this timeline so allura is alive and though there's no new altea

and now that the war is over yk y'all do your respective epilogue things and you go back to running a kingdom alongside your diplomatic advisor allura

the war brought y'all sm closer even if team voltron is scattered across the galaxy

because coming together on flosferam is the way to go so everyone can disconnect from the technology and just be free (everyone is still scared of rayla and i don't blame them; maybe not allura though she probs is like in love with her, take with that what you will, but it's up to y'all if you like them lmao)

but life is nice and you guess you're grateful for rayla being rayla or else you never would have met keith the way you did :)
