hmmm. bit peculiar (racist) that alec treveleyan is revealed to be of cossack descent (in other words, foreign) the instant he is figured as the villain of the film, especially after he is introduced as mr "for england." bit insidious that any subterfuge against the british government from british subjects in this film is rendered as not-actually-british and therefore invalid.

Fun facts I haven't actually finished DA:I with Taren. He was the third Inquisitor I made and I'd already beaten the game twice on a pretty quick turnaround. He was meant to be my completionist run, making a lot of the same main choices as the Treveleyan mage I'd just played (whose personality was just not as good imo. I tried to make him be a little shit but Inquisition really doesn't want to let you do that so we pivoted to Mr. Responsible and gave him character depth. Anyway.)

I have more hours on this playthrough than any other but I haven't actually beaten it bc I burned out and took years off playing Inquisition lol.

[nebulouswinds]

I'm playing dragon age inquisition for the (2nd) time ever, meant it as a throwaway playthru to just refamiliarize the plot before figuring out my Canon.

Kind of fell in love with my Treveleyan (Mar/Maran).

But boy did she just kind of...give up at Adamant. Left Hawke in the Fade. Immediately pissed Leliana off horrendously. Her go-to for everything atm is just "kill it first, figure out what to do after".

I wanted part of this playthru to be just choosing everything I couldn't consider choosing last time.

I am. Putting off the Qunari. Dreadfully.

Oh, ciao! Sono nuova nel fandom ma sono così contenta di vedere altri italiani cui!! E i tuoi disegni sono bellissimi e mi fanno così ridere, specialmente il tuo Treveleyan! 😂😂😂💖💖💖💖💖

Ma devo chiedere, è possibile di giocare con il doppiaggio italiano o no? Perché ho solo trovato DA in inglese, tedesco e francese (che è buono, lo ammetto)

Almeno ci sono incredibili storie (sì ci sto guardando) ;)

Ciao!!! Ci fa davvero piacere che i nostri disegni ti piacciano. Il nostro Trevelyan sfigato ha davvero bisogno d'un po' di supporto, visto che è un tale disastro ahahah Il doppiaggio italiano di DAO, DA2 e DAI non è mai stato fatto... e da un lato forse preferiamo così, visto che le voci originali in inglese ci piacciono tantissimo. Il gioco però è tutto sottotitolato in italiano e c'è da dire che la traduzione è piuttosto accurata :D

[morethanonepage]

The story James decides to tell is insufferably boring, of course, populated by genre clichés that attempt to blur self-insert fantasy with gritty social commentary in a manner that embarrasses more than intrigues. Maxim Treveleyan is the new Earl to Trevethick (get it? Thick because he’s got a huge penis) following the death of his older brother. He is, as is the way of things in such stories, gorgeous and stupidly rich and exploring his grief by f*cking his late brother’s widow. Things change, of course, when he meets Alessia Demachi, his new cleaner, and he quickly becomes enthralled by this Eastern European woman who speaks in broken English and has her own demons in her past.

Some people are not equipped to write stories of social realism that delves into topics like domestic abuse and sex trafficking. E.L. James is to these topics what Hannibal Lecter is to vegan cookery. The Mister features a heroine who was smuggled by traffickers from Albania to London to escape her abusive fiancé but escaped before she could be sold into sex slavery, and these matters are treated with the same care and focus by James as she affords to scenes where Maxim details his favourite music or the lavish meals they eat together. As with 50 Shades, James’s biggest obsession lies with the fetishizing of wealth and capitalism. Maxim, an Earl who is also a model, photographer, DJ and playboy, is steeped in luxury at every moment, and James revels in descriptions of clothes, country houses, the Jo Malone bubble bath Alessia uses (brand names are plentiful here, to the point where I was curious if said product placement was paid). The musicians Maxim listens to are mentioned with such frequency that you wonder if James did so in preparation for the future movie soundtrack. In 50 Shades, Christian Grey’s gift buying and wielding of his financial power over Anastasia Steele was one of many ways he exerted control over her life under the guise of romance. Here, James has decided to grease the wheels of such awkwardness by making Alessia utterly dependent on Maxim. As much as the story tries to tell us she is no damsel, she is still a woman living undocumented in a strange country while on the run from abusers and traffickers, so the dynamic of having her employer become her benefactor never stops feeling uncomfortable.

'Elizabeth (Bess) Throckmorton Raleigh' by June Davey

    Historian June Davey continues her series of essays exploring the fascinating women of West Horsley Place.

FAMILY BACKGROUND

Bess Throckmorton was born in 1565:  she was around 12 years younger than the great Sir Walter, whom she was to marry.  Bess was the daughter of the diplomat Sir Nicholas Throckmorton and Anne Carew. She had family links through both her parents to Henry VIII.  Nicholas was the cousin to Henry’s last wife, Katherine Parr.  Anne Carew’s father – another Nicholas – had been a close friend to Henry, but fell from favour and was executed in 1539.

The great influences in Bess’s life were her mother, and Arthur her elder brother, who paid to install Bess as Lady in Waiting in Queen Elisabeth I’s Chamber.  Sir Nicholas had left a scant inheritance and Bess received just £500, which should have been her dowry, but her mother loaned the money to Henry Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon.  Loans among courtiers were common practice at the time, and repayment often unreliable.  Bess learned to read and write, and she would certainly have approved of plans for phonetic spelling, as hers was to say the least, innovative.  It should be remembered that the standard of literacy for many women in Bess’s day was the same as for humblest levels of society. The Queen, of course, was a brilliant exception. But Bess had character: she was clever, honest, passionate and courageous.

BESS AT COURT

Her first introduction to court came on 3rdMarch, 1579, when Arthur wrote tersely in his diary: ‘My sister and I went to court.’ There was a hiccough in plans to gain her a position, when Francis Throckmorton was accused – rightly – of plotting with Mary Queen of Scots, and executed.  In the summer of 1582, Bess received an offer of marriage from one, Bassingbourne Gawdy,  a connection of Lord and Lady Darcy.  Bess clearly resisted the idea of marriage, and Anne Throckmorton  prevaricated.  She had other ambitions for Bess and regarded the court as the key to Bess’s future. Eventually Anne and Arthur’s efforts succeeded, and on 8thNovember, 1584, Bess was accepted as a Gentlewoman of the Privy Chamber, one of ten or twelve ladies in personal attendance to the Queen.  She was expected to embody virtues such as chastity, modesty and obedience, and absolute loyalty to the Queen.

Elizabeth I

DALLIANCE AND CONSEQUENCES

 At the court, there was entertainment in plenty: masques, plays, dancing and a plentiful allowance of food and ale!  Bess settled into her new life and then in 1587 her dear mother died, and this is about the time that the affair with Walter Raleigh, a favourite of the Queen began, and Bess became pregnant. Elizabeth jealously guarded the virtue of her ladies and equally jealously guarded her favourites!    It was bad enough to marry without the Queen’s consent, but for a maid-of-honour and a favourite captain of the guard to marry without consent was almost suicidal.  To make matters worse, instead of grovelling, the pair tried to brazen it out, with Bess back at court after losing her child and Raleigh planning his voyages. In July, 1592, Elizabeth found out that her ‘Water’- as he was known – had married behind her back, and to the Tower the couple went. Walter had been shamed, but not ruined: he still had Durham House,  Sherborne  Castle, and benefited from his monopolies.  Then, in the September of that year, one of Raleigh’s fleet, the ‘Madre de dios’ arrived in Dartmouth, laden with spoils, and he was released from the Tower to prevent looting,  and to  apportion the riches. By Christmas, Elizabeth had relented and after a spell at Sherborne, Walter was back in good grace with the Queen, and he remained close to her for the rest of her reign.

BESS, LADY  RALEIGH

Bess never apologised after discovery and banishment: she was never allowed to return to court.  But while at Sherborne, where her second child, Walter, was borne, she consolidated her position as Lady Raleigh, enjoying the prestige of being mistress of Sherborne and of Durham House in Town. The 1590s –  those years of exile  – when Sir Walter was organising his Guiana trip, were a decade of relentless rains and atrocious harvests.  Bess, as mistress of Sherborne would have been involved in charitable works to ease the lot of the many less fortunate in the neighbourhood.  She organised the education of young Wat – as he was always called –   also of her nieces.  There were many visitors to both houses.  Durham House had always been a centre of intellectual and philosophical discussions, and Bess became a close friend of Ben Johnson and of the magnificent John Donne, who was her relative by marriage.

Sir Walter Raleigh

SIR WALTER’S HEAD

During the years after Queen Elizabeth’s death, when James I succeeded to the throne, and  Walter was in the Tower, Beth was his lynchpin.  Their love for each other never wavered. When she was excluded from the Tower, her coach sweeping up to the entrance became a familiar sight. She pleaded, not only for clemency for her husband, but also for his sequestered estates, fighting like a tigress for her children’s rights.  Sir Walter was executed at Whitehall, on 29thOctober, 1618, and his body  laid to rest at St. Margaret’s, Westminster.  His head was embalmed and Bess kept it beside her in a red leather bag. During her widowhood she proved herself an astute business woman.

WEST  HORSLEY PLACE

Bess saw her son Carew go from strength to strength, politically and socially. He married a wealthy widow, Lady Philippa Ashley, and purchased a manor in East Horsley near the place where Horsley Towers now stands.  He also owned Lollesworth Farm in West Horsley. In 1642, his uncle Sir Nicholas Throckmorton left him the house that is now West Horsley Place, and Carew spent £2,000 on the house, and may have been responsible for rendering the original timber-framed exterior with warm russet brick.  According to Raleigh Treveleyan – and other sources – Bess spent much of her remaining life with her son at West Horsley Place, keeping Sir Walter’s head, in the red leather bag, in a cupboard near her bed.    Most historians give the date of her death as 1647. Sir Walter’s head remained with Carew at West Horsley Place, where he and Philippa raised their family.  There were two sons, Walter and Carew.  In 1660, when Charles II was restored to the throne, he offered a knighthood to Carew, which he declined, asking that it should be given to his eldest son, Walter.  Sadly, in 1660, this Sir Walter died, together with his baby daughter Henrietta, and his younger brother Carew, probably of a plague related illness. St. Mary’s Church Register for 1660 records the death as follows:

         Sir Walter Ralegh Knt. deceased the Fifteenth day of August

            Carew Ralegh deceased the Seventh of September

                  Henereta departed the Twentieth September.

The burial of the bodies of his sons and baby grand-daughter was the occasion for Carew to finally bury his famous father’s head. He and Philippa were heartbroken, and in 1664, they sold West Horsley Place to Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary to Charles I and Charles II, and went to live in their house at St. Martin’s Lane, London. Carew died in 1666: according to St. Margaret’s, Westminster Parish Register, he was ‘kilt,’ and is buried with his father’s body there.  In the great three volume  History and Antiquities of the County of Surrey, by Manning and Bray, published between 1804 and 1814, it is recorded that in 1703, the Raleigh grave was opened: William Nicholas was burying his mother Penelope, who died in the Great Storm in November of that year. He writes: ‘I do verily believe that the head I saw dug up at West Horsley in 1703 from the side where a Carew Ralegh was buried was that of Sir Walter Ralegh, there being no bones of a body to it, nor any room for any, the rest of that side of the grave being firm chalk.’

Recent Biographers of Sir Walter refer to the burial of the head in St. Mary’s, West Horsley.  The registry of St. Margaret’s, Westminster, where his body reposes, have recently contacted the Church Office to ask how St. Mary’s, as guardian of the great man’s head, propose to honour the 400thanniversary of Sir Walter’s  death, in October, 2018.

Note:  The family name was spelled in different ways by Sir Walter himself:  there was no fixed spelling at that time.  His usual version was ‘Ralegh,’ and biographers frequently use this.

History:

The unexpected youngest child and only daughter of Bann Fredrick and Lady Sophia Trevelyan, Anya Trevelyan entered the world into a loving family of nine, with seven older brothers loving and protecting her.

 Anya was raised to be gentle, fair and kind to all things, with a good education that her father and mother ensured would be equal to that of her brothers. As a child, she was particularly close to the youngest of her brothers, Percival, whom being closest to her age meant she’d play with him constantly. she also discovered a knack for strategy, specifically in battle and her love of books and history.

As she grew up, Anya watched as her brothers joined the Templars or (in the case of her eldest brother) the guards of the royal family, married and grew their family. Whilst there was barely any competition between them, she constantly wondering what fate had in store for her. She’d also occasionally attend Chantry meetings with her father, watching the meetings discussing the war and becoming extremely skilled in negotiation and diplomacy in the process, and as a result of these meetings, she became somewhat determined to find a way for the mages to be free but to keep the peace of the templars as well.   

Eventually Anya had learned enough for her father to allow her to attend and represent house Trevelyan during a peace conference for the Templar-Mage war between the Chantry, Templars and Mages at the Temple of Sacred Ashes and well, the rest, they say, is history.

Tried my hand at painting again today. There are several things I could probably change, and I’d like to play around with some different brushes at some point (also WHAT in the heck are backgrounds? I sure don’t know!). 

Anyway, here’s my Inquisitor Sybil Trevelyan!
