Writeblr Intro
Hello! I'm Leo and I am returning to the writeblr community after a good long break. This specific tumblr is new, I figured I'd have a new start! My pronouns are she/her and I am currently 29 years old. I'm always down for chatting. I promise I don't bite.
Some genres I'm especially fond of:
Fantasy (All, especially Urban)
Scifi
Historical fiction
Trope subversions
Fairy Tale Rewrites
Horror
My Current W.I.P.'s:
Dracula Daily Year 1: Aww, our good friend Jonathan is poor little meow meow.
Dracula Daily Year 2: Our good friend Jonathan is in a legit horror story, and I have literary analysis to share.
Dracula Daily Year 3: We have created a metanarrative wherein not only is our good friend Jonathan in a legit horror story, but he is also cursed to live in a horrifying time loop until we stop doing this.
Jonathan Harker: I am having a horrifying experience full of wolves and superstitions and danger
Jonathan Harker: ....maybe this is just how being a lawyer is.

Just to let people know I won't be abandoning this writeblr but I will be primarily moving on to a new one. See yinz soon.
Generic Medieval Fantasy™ role reversal where the royal chancellor is a jocular goofball with a strange preoccupation with dad-joke-level puns and the royal jester is just intensely sinister in ways that only outsiders ever seem to notice.
@battybiscornu replied:
is the jester even funny or do they simply jingle ominously
The king thinks they're hilarious.
A king is arranging a marriage between his heir and a princess from a neighboring kingdom. While the negotiations are being finalized, he discovers that his heir had went and eloped with a noblewoman from a powerful family. What would be the consequences of this decision? Would he disown his heir, begrudgingly accept the marriage, or force him to annul the marriage and marry the person he was supposed to?
He would annul the marriage as fast as he could. This actually happened with George IV. He married a Catholic woman without his father's permission, so George III put pressure on him to agree to annul the marriage
How did farm girls dress in... let's say 1400s?
First there's the chemise (like a massive shirt), then there's the kirtle, there's the actual dress and then probably something to wrap up warm with. And she'd be wearing something to cover her head too.
What introductions or societal niceties would a Crown Princess have to go through when at a sort of welcome home banquet?
For context within my WIP, the Crown Princess has just found out her status while coming to petition the court for aid. She’s just proven her status with a blood test and the lords of the court insisted on a banquet before answering her request
She would be publicly introduced as Crown Princess X (Titles, titles) and then once seated, nobles would come to pay her their respects. They will bow, greet her and exchange a few short words if permitted. Generally a lady in waiting or an aide would keep things moving.
Hello. I was the anon who asked if someone like the great grandchild of a younger son of a king would have a Prince/Princess title. I was looking up the Austrian and Russian royal families and noticed that even more distant descendents of monarchs received the prince/princess title or archduke/archduchess title. Was there a reason they were more liberal with distant relations keeping those titles?
Not really. You see the style of Prince is different there than the one you're probably used to knowing about. It's not just a royal style but a noble rank. I go over it here.
cliché but classic trope: when the person who almost died wakes up in a hospital bed, looks around and sees the object of their affection sleeping uncomfortably in the chair next to them because they haven’t moved in days.
You can pry that trope from my cold dead hands.
cliché but classic sub trope of this: the person who almost died tells the object of their affection “you look like shit” despite the fact that they are the one in the hospital bed and almost died.
please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
The moment where he calculates.
