Much Ado preview page one, uncolored.

Listen, I'm not saying that I took the setting and clothes almost directly from the movie Ever After, but...I didn't not take them from Ever After.

Picture of Henry V’s emblem, a chained swan, that I can’t stop laughing at.

Swans. They’re so pretty and romantic but if you get close will make horrible honking noises and literally try to bite your face off. What a good mascot for a Plantagenet.

Funny tie in — my family name is Squier and the swan is part of our family crest.

Growing up my father became very invested in tracing our family’s history and linage as far back as he could and because of the crest he became a fan of swans.

That is until the day one tried to kill us all. We were canoeing in a local stretch of river, oblivious to the swan nest until an agry male jumped into the canoe and attacked my father, after it shoved him out of the boat — that’s right it pushed a human man out of his own boat — it came after the rest of us. Our canoe sank and we had to swim to shore like a bunch of fools.

Now the Squier family crest is displayed in my home ironically.

believe me when I say I have heard a lot of swan attack stories in my time but this is the best swan attack story

#Henry V #but not really about Henry V #mostly just about #swans

WHO knows Old English?

Hello followers! I am working on a comicky infographic and need an Old English translation of a Beatles song, for the nerdiest of reasons. It's super important because I really need to make this pun work. Are you ready. For this pun.

An Old English translation of "Eight Days a Week" by The Venerable Bedles (BEDLES, GET IT??? haHAAAAA. Anyway, I gave it a shot with my very limited knowledge):

IC ĐINNE LUFE BIĐEARF, LĒOF

IC ĐENĊE ĐÆT ĐŪ WITE TŌ SŌĐ

IC HOPIE ĐŪ MĪNNE LUFE BIĐURFE, LĒOF

SWĀ BIĐEARF IC ĐĒ

....Is that OK? Slash would anyone like to fix glaring errors that I'm sure are there?
