Last Saturday the Lady Elizabeth was taken out of the Tower and conducted to Richmond. Thence she has been conveyed to Woodstock, there to be kept until she is sent to Pomfret. Four hundred men accompanied her, and the people rejoiced at her departure, thinking she had been set at liberty. When she passed by the house of the Stillyard merchants they shot off three cannons as a sign of joy, and the Queen and her Council were displeased about it, as we believe will be made known to the parties concerned.

M. De Courrières and Simon Renard to the Emperor. May 1554.

I try to be fair to political operators in the Tudor period but Simon Renard was a SNAKE.

Setting aside his paranoia of Elizabeth- because he probably genuinely thought she was dangerous- Mary had concerns that Philip would have to leave to govern his territories and Renard told her it was "his greatest wish to stay by her side" which was a LIE because when did Philip say any such thing? Renard must have known Philip would have to leave at some point. He lied and promised more than Philip could possibly ever deliver.

Who said Elizabeth had a "Spirit full of incantation" or something like that? Was it a Spanish ambassador during the reign of Mary?

It was imperial ambassador Simon Renard, he described Elizabeth as having spirit of incantation or enchantment, depends on how you translate it, in a letter to the Bishop of Arras, 9 September 1553. And that's why, according to him, she was to be feared.

Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC

I love the illustrations!! I wish we could better see the artwork in image 2 though. Tried to make sense of who’s who. The yellow numbers are characters I’m unsure of (innocent devils and Quincey???), the blue numbers are Vampire Survivors characters, and the red numbers are Castlevania characters. Yellow number 2 really has me puzzled, but I thought it might be Quincey because reminded me of John and he’s holding what appears to be a knife or stake.

I’m seriously happy to see all these Castlevania characters in one DLC, like we even have Sonia and GRANT!!! If you haven’t already, please check out Vampire Survivors, it’s addictive and super worth the money. The DLC is coming out this Halloween!!!

Correction: Blue 11 looks closer to Vincent Dorin from PoR, Dommario has black/navy blue robes.

It is definitely known that he commands several heretic gentlemen, who are very ill-intentioned and mean to support the Lady Elizabeth to the bitter end. Three days ago, four gentlemen went away without the Queen's permission, to wit: George Howard, the Admiral's nephew; Sturley; Carey, (fn. 8) a relative of the Lady Elizabeth; and an Irishman called Barnaby Chet. They asserted that they had not money enough to follow the Court, though Howard had been appointed to a post in his Highness's household.

Simon Renard to the Emperor. June 1554.

Monster themed Inktober prompts done so far. Tag on twitter is Vaniatober. If I don't post these now I'd be too lazy to tag all the characters (I am already)

I don’t remember which picmix I’ve posted yet, but I just remembered just how many I have— So have a dump of Castlevania related ones :3!!!!!

Putting them under a cut for ⚠️flashing, eyestrain, flickering⚠️ and I’ll probably rant about them or something too!

RENON!!! High key underrated shop keeper honestly. Also is color scheme was very fun to work with :3. Not a lot of backgroundless PNGs of him out there tho, so I had to improvise by putting frames around the massive white boxes some pictures had.

There are a lot of goofy things on the Grant one, please look at this like it’s an I Spy book lol. And yes I know he’s not actually a pirate, but there’s a couple pirate like things in there.

This one is old enough that I think I probably posted it before, but eh whatever can’t hurt XD. Christopher is politely making sure the amount of images is an even number 👍. Also Jerma is in the corner of this one for some reason— yeah—

I made this one to use on discord :). And also because Picmix had a contest for the color gold and I was making an Alucard image anyway and yeah. Gold and sparkly! Anyway, Alucard is wishing you sweet dreams (^^ ).

I unironically love this one, I think judgement Simon (and really Simon in general) deserves more emo gif collages. I do wish I could’ve put a couple more tiny gifs, but my computer was almost crashing and I had to just save it really fast as not to lose the whole thing (ToT). Yeah but Simon should be allowed to have a MySpace page I think—

Another Simon! I have so many. I will make another. Brb, flooding the Simon tag with picmixes. ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌( ￣◇￣)┘

MARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually think this one turned out so nice, the white flower background worked out way better than expected X3. It was really fun looking up things to reference each of the divine beasts too, although it was hard to find a picture of a blue turtle lol.

And finally one with my own fanart and oh my goodness do I need to make artwork to put onto picmix more often, it is so fun to do. I did it cause there was a fanart competition on there and I knew I had the picture of that drawing on my laptop, but competition or not, I recommend it :3. Also thinking about the vibes I was going for in the original piece through putting little gravestones and angel statues on it was cool, I hope the original gave off those vibes! Picmix also has a lot of nice random quotes to put on things as well!

I have not Castlevania ones too and I’ll probably post those shortly d(>.< )! Okie bye—
