Because I’m a bored history girly, I present to you; Historical figures and their Night at the Museum counterparts.

The casting department did not fuck around.

ok im just going to cry now

While Rupert and Amir’s love literally saved two countries and destroyed the CEOs of homophobia and hating your wife, I feel like Sir Joan and Lady Cecily’s romance (or future romance bc it WILL happen) is powerful in a different sense? I mean here you have this girl, who has fought her entire life to prove her worth, first to her father, then to her queen, then to the elites. She’s always fighting adversaries and policies... Joan falling in love with someone so ready to love her and love being with her is Joan allowing herself to be soft and vulnerable with someone... to drop the formalities and show her true self knowing her traits won’t be exposed for weaknesses to discredit her abilities. And Lady Cecily grew up with the expectation she will Marry A Man and Sit Pretty and Have Children. After the curse is broken she realizes she can be anything... and who helps her realize that? Joan! Joan who told her to fight and be proud because of it. Joan taught her that she had worth, that she was more than what she could give others, and she had control of her destiny. It only makes sense that Cecily pursues the woman that taught her that, because Joan saw more in Cecily than the world ever did. Rupert and Amir’s relationship is about balance, but Joan and Cecily is about growth.

What's your favorite exhibit at the museum? And what's something you guys don't have out all the time that you wish more people could see?

So I guess this gives me a chance to fully explain how our lovely little spot is laid out for those of you who may be curious.

(A cross section of the Perisphere as it existed during the war, we have now converted this image into a brochure for the museum)

My favorite spot in the entire museum is the "ground" floor, where you enter the building from the Trylon and come out into what was the seating and speaking area. It's the largest floor in the building and the main sector of exhibits. Along every wall there is a special case exhibit for every hero that served within the Squadron.

The Exhibits start with the Crimson Avenger directly to the left of the door, going in chronological order every hero that appeared afterwards until it circles back around to the entrance. This is also where most of my work day is spent. As a tour guide and general historian I lead groups through our "extensive" tour.

The "Extensive" tour is the most expensive and most in depth option we offer. It's about 15 bucks per person with discounts for groups. I take you through every. single. exhibit in the building on a personally guided walking tour. It takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours depending on the group. It is designed for people who want to really sink their fingers into every exhibit and artifact we have to offer.

I am one of only two people on staff who gives these tours, because I am the only person who volunteered, when it was decided I had to be put on other duties later in the day they had to give the other poor girl a raise just to get her to agree. It is 2/3rds of what I do in a day. I get to give about 2 of them before I get traded off onto other duties. The first extensive tour starts at 9 AM and the last one finished at 6 PM.

My favorite singular exhibit is the alcove we have where all the members of the Freedom Fighters are shown. It has some of our best artifacts and, is actually frequented by the real life, actual, no shit Uncle Sam. He gives me a 15 minute break or so whenever I run into him as he regales the people with stories from the front lines and I get to watch people's reactions after I tell them that that is the actual, real life Uncle Sam.

My favorite singular CASE is actually further back in the 7 Soldiers area, where I get to see older folks realize that the Vigilante was country western star Greg Saunders.

As for things we don't keep out, while all the floors of the Perisphere itself are accessible to the public, the below ground areas that were once the labs and workshops are closed off and converted into our storage and study spaces. Every single scrap of ANYTHING that was in the building when it was turned over to our organization was filed away down there and a lot of it has gone VERY unsorted. Until SOMEONE (he knows who he is) convinced me to stick my neck out and get to doing it myself. After my lunch break for the final tour period I get rotated off and sent downstairs to sort through every little piece of garbage that the heroes of the past left behind.

When I tell you the things I have discovered.

I have seen the first line of Greg Saunders' most famous song scribbled on the inside of a candy bar wrapper. One of the words is different, implying to me that this was the first time he'd tried to write those words down.

A letter from Joan Williams to Jay Garrick with a lipstick kiss next to her name. I found this one on the same day of her funeral and I felt like a fucking knob. I have never been so guilty in my LIFE.

Books of Arthurian tales where Shining Knight has scribbled MST3K style corrections in the margins. His bookmark was an actual feather from his actual pegasus.

Some of the original notes Tarantula would later turn into field defining book. Before editing. Which means I now know which members of the team were AWFUL potty mouths.

An actual, labeled bottle of Miraclo pills. Still sealed. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, NOPE. For anyone asking if I was tempted I refer to you my post on Miraclo.

The problem of course being that a LOT of these artifacts are intensely personal and not just for us to keep and display. When I find something, and I find out what it IS, my job is then to attempt to return it to whoever it belongs to. I'm not just going to keep a love letter that was sent in confidence between the Garricks. And I sure as HELL was not going to fuck around with a sealed bottle of 70 year old super-pills.

So the last thing I do every day is compile a list of what I have found and what I think it IS, in a biiiggg excel spreadsheet, that I then send off to the modern JSA. Some of it gets donated to the museum, I'd say a slim majority of it gets taken off to be given out to the heroes themselves or their various next of kin.

THOSE are the moments I wish that I could share. To have their writing, their small comforts, their worries, their loves, their fears between my fingertips. More than once I have stumbled upon something that's left me deeply emotional in ways I don't think I can comfortably explain.

If I could show the whole world anything, it would be that. To be looking down at the handwriting of someone you thought was a legend. And instead see a scared, anxious 20 something risking it all because somebody had to.

Anyway, please feel free to ask other questions about the museum or my work here, I thought that'd be more of what this blog was but I am starting to suspect more everyday that this blog has breached multiversal containment ^^'

JUNE OF ARC continues!  Mondays and Fridays all June long!

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. When Joan was 16 years old, the English were sieging the city of Orléans, and her Voices told her it was her job to banish them.  She had to go to Vaucouleurs, acquire knightly escort from Sir Robert, travel through enemy territory to Chinon, meet the dauphin (the uncrowned prince of France), offer her leadership to his army, go to Orléans, raise the siege, then escort the dauphin through more enemy territory to be crowned in the city of Reims (which was the traditional place for French coronations).  Super easy.  Barely an inconvenience. 2. Sir Robert de Baudricourt met with Joan but denied her request for escort twice before finally giving in.  Her persistence won her the support of the townsfolk first, then some of Robert's knights, then finally Robert himself.  She's our perSISTER in Christ! 3. In this cartoon, Robert is suspicious of Joan, saying her request to see the dauphin can't be serious.  She assures him it "DAUPHIN-ately" is, which is a play on the word "definitely" using the word "dauphin".

Joan Baez “Sweet Sir Galahad” One Day At A Time, January 22, 1970.

[anotherttpfanaccount]

*makes up info*

.

thought of the background details on the characters and decided to add some details or make up my own for them:

Amir:

he wasn't perfectly honest with his mom ( aside from the usual things kids lie about ), as he would sneak out of the Palace every now and then. not nearly as often as Rupert would, though.

reason why he wasn't freaking out about his feelings for Rupert ( i think ) is cuz he had a crush on a boy when he was younger. one that i decided looked similar to Rupert, by coincidence.

morning bird, no matter how little he slept.

knows how to handle chaos, but it takes him a minute when he's running out of fuel. when he's out of said fuel, he's more likely to become snappy. this is about the food thing, yeah.

always asks if someone needs help, namely Rupert, as he feels bad when he doesn't do something and it leads to a lot of anxiety.

.

Rupert:

the moment he came out as trans, Lavinia just assumed he was into girls instead. he didn't have the energy to argue with her about it, especially since he had no idea he was into guys.

he's not sure if he can call it dancing, but he has a lot more fun doing it when he's by himself and has severe anxiety doing it front of others, due to Lavinia scolding and reprimanding him when he wouldn't do well in his dancing lessons as a kid.

sneaking out of the Palace was often, of course, but it was almost always to Chamberlain's library or the gardens. aside from stealing the Forbidden Book, the one time he snuck out into the town didn't go well, and Rupert still hasn't forgotten about it. the only reason Lavinia hasn't forgotten about it either ( in her own way ) is because Rupert bit her.

not necessarily a morning bird, but body clock prevents him from sleeping in most days, so he's kinda grouchy when he first wakes up. give him tea and cuddles.

he's much closer to Chamberlain than Lavinia, and this doesn't really change in the future.

.

Joan:

grew up being bullied, both for being a stable-girl and the daughter of a failed General. wouldn't start fights, but would try her damn best to stop them, much to Brutus' annoyance.

her mother died of an illness when she was young, but Joan's fondest memories are with her. she's not sure when it was the last time she genuinely smiled in Brutus' presence.

read through a lot of books, finding interesting historical events in ones from other regions, particularly ones of Lady Knights. inspired by them, and her mother's words of never losing her heart and to always do what's right, Joan began to train herself.

since she was hated, at large, from such a young age, Joan got used to people not liking her and expected that perception to get even worse when she became a Knight. this is a huge reason why Cecily's feelings for her make her uneasy, especially since she had no idea if they were even real. that, and she's never known how to act around people who like her, Atossa, Rupert, and Amir included.

.

Cecily:

considered a mistake, as her birth was accidental and her parents never loved each other, Cecily grew up in a home where she had to take care of herself in almost every way possible. her insecurity and confidence, at once, comes from having no one else.

originally, she didn't want to marry Rupert, but a mix of realizing she might finally be considered significant and her parents talking about how it's the "least she could do for what she put them through", Cecily decided to go.

her reasons being quick to fall are pretty obvious now, right?

in hindsight, she's pretty certain her feelings for Joan started at the Knight's speech. but, confused and a little scared, Cecily wasn't sure what to do with those feelings. it was... easier, to ignore it. until she suddenly couldn't.

she isn't sure why, but Cecily's parents suddenly tried to turn a new leaf after the Hollow. but she wasn't interested. and what'd she say when they got upset? "get over it", of course.

.

and here's hcs of the group overall:

Cecily makes her own dresses and accessories. yes, they take forever. yes, she loves them all, even if she thinks some of them are ugly and never to be worn by anyone ever.

Amir and Atossa take a few days out of the month to have mother-son bonding and they talk about a variety of things, including his lack of a proper childhood and his father. Atossa gives him the words of affirmation he needs, telling him how proud she is of him and how far he's come. Amir definitely doesn't cry.

Porridge and Fitzroy are the emotional support animals, but i think that's a given...?

like Rupert, Joan doesn't know how to dance, but it's from the fact she's literally never had the opportunity to try. her first attempt resulted in nearly breaking Cecily's foot, which she was extremely apologetic about.

i think they all have a hot spring episode, cuz they deserve it. ( "but Amir and Rupert had a-" SHHHHHHHHHHHH. )

*puts fingers on my forehead* all of you get anxiety // panic attacks, NOW!

pretend there's an episode where Cecily and Amir are stuck in a bad, life-threatening situation together and they start talking and bond through the power of trauma-dumping, and same for Joan and Rupert, okay, okay-

ironically enough, Rupert and Joan feel the most comfortable dancing with each other. maybe because they're both bad at it.

i think Joan should have a magic sword and have everybody admire her for it, as a treat.

Atossa and Chamberlain love all these children and you can take them from their cold, dead hands.

.

i might post the TTP ocs i have, esp since i have a Southern Princess that i was excited to talk about before disappearing! they won't be drawn, most likely, but i'll provide Picrews and i hope you'll be looking forward to them regardless!

Juana de arco y Sir Lancelot Fairytale duet style

[thekatebridgerton]

On the show, I want to see the family surprised by Eloise really taking to step-motherhood.

I am excited to see Daphnes reaction to Eloise who had always bemoaned women being straddled with children, become a loving step mother. I like to think the twins look at her like she hung the moon.

In the book, I felt she struggled more with becoming a wife than a mother.

Do you agree or disagree?

Oh you are not wrong on that. She absolutely did adapt faster to motherhood than she did to being in-love. The thing is that what did it for Eloise is that she felt needed in Phillip's household. The way she felt she wasn't truly needed anywhere else.

When she decides to stay in Romney hall, she doesn't do it because of Phillip, at first. But because of his children. Because Oliver and Amanda need her. And they need her in the sense, that Eloise knows as soon as she meets them, that her particular personality and combination of personal quirks IS going to make their lives better. So she rationalizes that she can't leave them. And as such, she must impose of Sir Phillip's hospitality. Because finally there is someone who's life she's making better by just being herself.

She doesn't tell herself she wants to be their mother, or their step mother as the case may be. In Eloise eyes what she's doing is standing up for the weak and defending Oliver and Amanda's right to free speech and better treatment from their father. Which is a very noble cause.

Watching Eloise discover that she is in fact a very capable mother to Oliver and Amanda is very funny. Because she just takes charge like she was born for it. And doesn't let anything stop her from actively advocating for these kids, who just need someone to listen to them.

And I hope that this is the direction they take Eloise with in the show. I want to see show Eloise pass from being this belligerent dissatisfied young woman who does not like kids, to one that slowly comes to the realization that nobody has ever needed her the way Daphne needs Simon, or the way Colin needs Penelope. And then, she finds that at first, it's Phillip's kids who need her. Not as a mom, but as a brave woman who can speak up for their best interests. And in the end she discovers that she may not think she's made for motherhood but neither is Phillip, and for the first time in her life, she realizes that this is okay. There are a million ways to be a good mother and she doesn't have to be like Daphne or Violet. Maybe she can be more like Mary.

And it's Eloise insistence in fighting for the twins emotional well being, that she gets to know Phillip better, and fall inlove with him later in the story. The whole being a wife thing was harder because in a sense, that was the one thing Eloise wasn't prepared for. Nobody ever prepares you for love, it just happens, and Eloise likes to control everything that happens to her, but she doesn't control her heart. So this was more of a struggle for her. Learning how to be a wife and a lover when all she knew before didn't compare to what she was feeling with Phillip.

And that's the tea

As much as I loooooove S1 of Elementary it’s almost painful to watch Sherlock be rude and dismissive to Watson like Sir!!! That is your soulmate and you love her (platonically) soooooooo much. You would die for her, kill for her, even harder, you would change for her. Now stop being sassy and devote yourself wholly and completely to your life partner already.

If Sir Thomas Gray's letter of confession to Henry V can be believed, Cambridge in the summer of 1415 was entertaining fantastic delusions. He told Gray, who was staying at Conisborough castle on 17 June, that the Scottish regent, Robert Stewart (c. 1340-1420), duke of Albany, was willing to trade the pseudo-Richard II in exchange for one of eighteen prominent Englishmen, headed by Bishop Courtenay of Norwich (one of the king's most trusted councillors), and the head of the Nevill clan, the staunchly Lancastrian Ralph, earl of Westmorland, who was married to Henry V's aunt, Joan Beaufort. Needless to say, there was no possibility that men of high rank would put themselves at Cambridge's disposal or become available to be used as hostages in these bizarre negotiations. Perhaps the Scottish regent, unwilling to disclose that his puppet was no longer alive, and eager to keep up the pretence that Richard II still survived, had stated unacceptable terms to evade coming to an agreement with Cambridge. It should have been obvious to Sir Thomas Gray as he rode homewards that his host, the earl of Cambridge, had lost touch with reality, and memories of that astonishing conversation at Conisborough castle, when the two men rashly talked of treason, should have been enough to deter him from getting more deeply involved in such preposterous schemes.
