Disneys Sleeping beauty art study with my OCs:

And the scene from the movie I used as reference:

when i see the “aimeric lives” tag on the ao3 fic

arithebard

I find it so interesting how the fandom perceives aimeric. When I first read capri, I never felt as though aimeric was a villain. To me, he has always been a victim of his father and the regent, a boy who did what he had to because, yes he believed it was right, but also it was the only thing he knew. And while yes, a victim can become an abuser and just because you had a sad past doesn’t excuse the bad things you’ve done, I truly think that had he not died, he could’ve had a redemption.

It was a shock when I started consuming more capri fancontent and saw how many people disliked him, or saw him as evil, the way guion or govart are. To me, he has always been this misguided boy who needed help but could’ve turned a new leaf and could’ve been a great ally if someone had managed to pull him away from the cruel men influencing him, but I guess many just see him as an irredeemable instrument of the regent.

I’m totally with you op, aimeric defender all the way, that boy deserved better fr

#I wish he could’ve been saved #eyes opened to how wrong the regent was #that man isnt someone worth dying for #I like to imagine what could’ve been if he realized he was loved by jord and the soldiers #and he didn’t need the regents ‘love’#aimeric lives and him and Jord get married and have a family and a little cottage #and he cuts off his evil abusive family #(the mom is cool tho she can come with)#he is not so different from Laurent #in another world they could’ve been besties (ToT)#captive prince #capri #aimeric #laurent of vere

Can’t have shit in this house… does anyone have art where Damen’s 6’5 (I assume?) ass is sat in Laurent’s lap

arithebard

If Laurent had held a little bit less contempt for Damen,enough to stomach touching him, I believe he would’ve made him sit on his lap at some point to intimidate the court at Arles and absolutely vex big strong Damen

#can’t believe this is my first capri art #this series has held me in a chokehold ever since I first read it and I’ve never made fanart #this was nice to draw since Damen is still a slave and not wearing much clothing as a result #didn’t have to worry about outfits and stuff #or fabric #I hate drawing fabric #how tf do fabric physics work (ToT)#anytime I draw folds they just look weird and unnatural #I wanna draw pretty intricate outfits so baaaaaaad #but I suck at imagining fits and drawing fabric #All the clothes drawing skillpoints went to my sister who is training to be a fashion designer #leaving me with curse of ‘only be able to draw T-shirts (barely)’#captive prince #capri #laurent of vere #damianos of akielos

i know there are a few other instances where it's made clear that laurent is not a teensy tiny flimsy little femboy but like . are these not the words of a small darling man. they are. laurent is 5'8" tops to me

arithebard

I feel like I have no room to speak here since I’m 5‘3‘‘ (or 161 cm for sane ppl) but isnt 5‘8 average?? Idk, whenever I imagine an ‚average height man‘ I think of something around the 175 cm range (which I believe is 5‘8ish, but I’m too lazy to look it up). Cuz if not that, what else would be? 6‘? Then why are all the girlies struggling to find their 6‘ men?

it’s funny cuz I always imagined Laurent in the +/- 175 cm range percisely because it’s average height to me, so seeing someone say the same height headcanon bc they think he is short was very bizarre to say the least.

#for a country that loves to claim their democratic and who’s main achievement is making a king big mad by throwing his tea into the sea #they sure do love using the measurement system that was based on said kings feet #the imperial system is an affront to human kind and should be eradicated #'i'm regular sized!!!' he screeches standing at five foot seven #<- average size ppl can never win #cuz it’s either say ‚im average I swear‘ and everyone assumes you’re defensive therefore short #or you don’t say anything making ppl believe it’s true cuz u didn’t put up a fight #laurent of vere #captive prince

H,llo what the fuck do you mean "one of the reapers has adidas shoes" how did i miss that????

It’s one of the German grim reapers, Ludger? I think is his name? we see him towards the end of the emerald witch arc. Here is a pic from the manga (it’s the first I found on google that showed his shoes). I’m not overly familiar with Victorian men’s shoes, but these sure do look like modern sports shoes to me

#besides the shoes and weapons they also wear modern suits #it’s not as noticeable since Victorian era men’s fashion is already pretty close to formal menswear we have nowadays #so it’s easier to suspend disbelief on that part #but it’s still low-key kinda noticeable #I understand that it was a stylisic choice to make them more modern but I still kinda don’t vibe with it :/#was never a fan of time travel stuff…#which is why the undertaker is my favourite reaper eventhough he sucks as a person #his design makes up for the atrocities #I’d love him if it wasn’t for the atrocities #why couldn’t you just stay a silly goofy guy #(tho I still love him as a villain)#(he makes such a good villain for bb)#generally characters than seem like they have no importance becoming super relevant for the story is such peak writing #black butler #grim reaper #black butler grell #grell sutcliff #undertaker

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

Nowadays we still associate scythes with grim reapers, but forget the original cultural context: scythes being a familiar farming tool that most people had at home, a mundane domestic object, elevated into a poignant symbol of the harvest and the cyclic nature of time. and a fitting symbol, because death also is as mundane, familiar, and reliable as the changing of the seasons.

my point being: a modernized grim reaper would be best portrayed as a skeleton carrying a leaf blower

arithebard

You laugh, but this is the plot of black butler

#or like… sub plot #it’s a thing in black butler #Theres only one reaper in bb with an actual scythe and he’s evil #but fr imagine Victorian England and then theres just this guy running around with radioactive green eyes and a 2015 lawnmower #also there’s one with Adidas sneakers #I don’t think the reapers know what time periods are #theyre so out of place with everything they have #they’d do horrible at a renfaire which is ironic since they’d just need to dress appropriate for their own period #black butler #grim reaper #grell sutcliff #black butler grell #sebastian michaelis #ciel phantomhive

Currently rewatching the legend of Korra, I’m only 5 episodes in but FORGET AIRBENDING TENZIN, GET THIS GIRL SOME MEDIA TRAINING, JESUS CHRIST!!

#she keeps being put infront of journalists and keeps fumbling interviews #(it’s only happened like twice but TWICE IN 5 EPISODES IS TOO MUCH)#the girl who was raised in isolation at the South Pole is horrible at delivering Bad News in a non-fearmongering way #what a shocker #avatar the last airbender #avatar #legend of korra #avatar korra #Korra

As we all know, Vere is inspired by France and Akielos is inspired by Ancient Greece. What about the other countries, do we know what they are based on? I always saw Vask as Russian (idk something abt the word vask) and for some reason I saw Kempt as either German or Skandinavian. As for Patras, no fucking clue. Do we know? What were y’all’s assumptions on the other nations, I’m really curious.

#also where did kempt even come from? I do not remember it being mentioned in the books #except the extra from charls where they start a bidding war for kemptian silk #ik Laurent’s mother apparently comes from there #but that aswell where was that mentioned #unless that was from the charls extra where he’s like ‚I have cheap silk cuz my mom is kemptian‘ or sth #captive prince #Capri #vere #akielos #Laurent of Vere #damianos of akielos

I do have to admit that Berenger is my head sounds like burgener (I’m dyslexic) so I kept thinking that this was the guy Ancel fell in love with in Pet

arithebard

honestly, whenever I think of berenger I imagine some guy in his 40s (ToT) I don’t even remember if his age was ever said, just his description makes him seem so… old. I really really need some good art/fanart of him, this can’t go on like this

“US states are much more diverse than European countries, west coast English and east coast English are basically different languages”

IF THATS HOW THAT WORKS, MAY I INTRODUCE THE CONTINENT OF GERMANY AND ITS MULTITUDE OF COUNTRIES!

Don’t mind me, just imagining the day when their new palace on the border is finally built.

When the battlefield has become farmland and pastures for grazing herds and the city has become the center of their new kingdom’s commerce.

When the old fort is little more than a symbol, lightly garrisoned, and the streets are filled with people who, for the first time in their lives, know the peace of just living and not having their lands constantly razed and claimed by one king or another.

When Damen and Laurent can stand at the balcony and look over it all together, from the coast to the fields, and know that they did this together and the horrors of Arles and Ios are behind them at last.

And Laurent turns to Damen with a strange look on his face.

What is it? Damen says.

Laurent laughs. Seven years, he says. I have now… loved you for longer than I’ve hated you. Isn’t that strange, lover?

And Damen smiles and takes Laurent’s hand, the soft clink of their matching shackles drowned out by the sounds of their kingdom flourishing.

arithebard

"I have loved you for longer than I've hated you."

Dude.

And the Auguste counterpart of "I've mourned him longer than I've known him."

I'm gonna be sick, goodbye

#laurent you well of tragic quotes #i dont remember where that was from but i saw it in some capri fic once #op's sentence made me think of that again #it mightve been kaerwrites laurent retelling? i dont remember #how does kaerwrites laurent pov retelling always somehow end up in my capri posts #i only have 3 BUT ITS WEIRD THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE #captive prince #damen x laurent #laurent of vere #damianos of akielos #auguste of vere

i love hearing about the declining birth rate like yesss that is a major problem considering our dominant economic model. a problem i plan on contributing to 👍 joining the war on declining birth rates on the side of declining birth rates

arithebard

I understand that lower birth rates and a top heavy population pyramid is bad for the economy and social structures yadayadayada, but at the same time, we *are* an overpopulated species. How are we gonna fix overpopulation if not through stopping the exponential growth of our species. And just letting us grow unchecked is gonna bring so many more problems. So it’s not like joining on the side of declining birth rates is *that* bad of an idea…

#not to mention declining birth rates is an actual form of population control in nature #I have no sources for this #besides that one experiment with rats #where scientists gave rats perfect living conditions to see what they would do #and the rats started showing homosexual tendencies and generally less breeding #also cannibalism but I don’t wanna advocate for cannibalism #we’re a smart species we don’t have to resort to canibalism for population control #(or so I’d FUCKING HOPE)#though what is late stage capitalism if not the canibalisation of the lower classes to feed the greed of the mega rich
