Catholic priests and their Protestant husbands ❤️

As stated, I love writing about Catholic priests and their Protestant or perhaps non religious husbands (follow me, you'll see what I mean). And old priests and their young and strong knightly lovers. Welcome to my blog, where you will find art, original literature and history rambles/research. Follow me to so we can obsess about Mary I, Tudor Catholics and Gardiner and Cromwell together.

Now that I'm done crying(not really), time to reintroduce myself again. Welcome to my blog. You might have known me original as @austin-friars however, that account was terminated after it was hacked! I am a queer writer and artists with a special fixation on the Tudor and Medieval era. Here you will find history, art, original literature, and queer rambles. I am currently writing a Tudor horror -novel, and several short stories. I'm having some fun writing a queer-centric Tudor short story collection which will be released next year--free of charge! In addition, I will share some of my research via substack articles on historical figures, events, and situations. You can use any pronouns for me. I am 29 years old, so therefore, I do not want minors in my space. Some of my content and discussions can be dark and mature, so please mind that. You can find all of my writing/webweaves in my #originalwriting tag! I am always open for history and writing related questions.

Some house keeping:

Please do not follow if you are racist, transphobic, a terf, transadrophibia believer, a pedophile or support pedophiles in any way, are racist and or are an anti. I do not do the anti/proship discourse so don't bring any of that here. I do not like people who are into bio/gender essentialist terms like 'afab'. Even as a person who is 'afab', that word is very terfy and I don't like people who unironically use/identify with that word following me.

People don't get that non passing trans women are not seen as men, they are seen as non passing trans women and are treated the way they are according to the social script for trans women, which is transmisogyny.

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

Using AFAB and AMAB as replacements for female and male is so insidious. Trying to do progressive biological essentialism and transmisogyny lol

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

Black Feminism already settled the question of assuming a universal female sexed experience, as that would assume that universality as white, and you’re doing a similar thing by assuming a universal female sexed experience on the basis of being AFAB as if everyone who is AFAB which includes trans people has the same relationship to gender and that trans women don’t have this “female” experience despite being mistreated for being women.

Like you’re doing a similar move that was called racist by the Combahee River Collective decades ago. There is no universal sexed experience, there’s nothing that ties cis women to trans men.

This is a perfect time to read the brilliant and unforgettable graphic novel(s) Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, about growing up in Iran during and after the Iranian Revolution, and the rise of the oppressive theocracy that persists to this day.

Both graphic novels are available free online (Persepolis vol. 1, Persepolis vol. 2)

It also was adapted to a wonderful film (co-directed and co-written by the author) which is available to watch for free on Sundance Now (sign up for the free trial)

Here's my current take on the medieval manuscript style. This is also my way to learn more about digital art and color theory.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

His daughters' statement said "it is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father". They added: "It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand the impact both he and his work have had on so many." They also said they knew "how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues and fans of the show he was in", adding that he "loved his job very much" and "always considered himself incredibly lucky".
