costume appreciation post 1/? Francesca Del Fa as Novella Foscari medici 2x04

#prev! you doooooo!#beautiful costumes beautiful scenery/sets beautiful music beautiful homoerotic rivalries it's got it all #i might pick my rewatch back up again soon (or start over bc i only did 2 eps in the winter) i'm feeling in a Medici Mood lately #medici #novella foscari

enough time has passed since my kcd2 playthrough and it's all percolated enough that i can now admit that when i say "oh man, if a hypothetical kcd3 made me choose between rosa and hans, i don't even know what i would do!" it's mostly just posturing. i would choose rosa and it wouldn't be close.

#i love a historical fiction queer romance but the hold rosa has over me is unmatched. that is my freaking WIFE (and henry's)#she was specifically engineered to be my exact favorite character archetype #and their relationship was specifically engineered to be my exact favorite romance dynamic #also hans being so popular in the fandom but rosa being the victim of tons of M/M Shipper-Brand Misogyny #and/or mischaracterization and/or shockingly obtuse misinterpretation & misunderstanding #makes me love her more than him out of spite lmao #kcd

ever since finishing the game I've been pondering my headcanon/au for how erik's post canon situation would look like if he lived on and I finally sat down to sketch out some concepts for it... still got thoughts forming on it but in short he does not get better! also just an excuse to draw him in all black + his red. my favourite edgelord <3

don't look too closely at the historical accuracy of these I was chasing cool factor for now... will be putting my reasearch glasses on now

close ups!

#ooooh this eats!!!!#erik deserves a 'he chose the black coat to suit his mood' era #and the thought of him imprinting on a second Fucked Up Daddy Figure in sigismund is very intriguing #kcd

fitz is a nice blend of all 3 ta’veren boys. he’s got perrin’s wolf powers, mat’s rogue skillset, and rand’s self-isolation and depressive tendencies.

#fitz you need to lock in it's too early in the series for you to be this depressed #on the one hand he's proving how efficient he is bc the ta'veren boys needed 3 whole guys to fill narrative roles fitz is covering himself #on the other hand fitz would be so much happier if he had a couple of besties to spread those roles out amongst #rote

#time to bring out my favorite onion article again #kcd #kcd2 #kingdom come deliverance #the troskowitz tailor is my kcd self-insert character #(tells henry it's plot-mandated that he be fashionable and won't let him proceed with the main quest until he stops looking busted)#erik kcd #henry of skalitz #katherine kcd #jan zizka #hans capon #father godwin #rosa ruthard #istvan toth #radzig kobyla #et al

i started this passage thinking "this is so erik-coded" and ended it thinking "this is so rand-coded". a clear throughline in the types of characters who tend to scratch at my brain the most.

It was a bare and dreary room, devoid of imagination. Suddenly I was a bare and dreary person, devoid of imagination. I fetched and I hunted and I killed. I obeyed. More hound than man. And not even a favored hound, to be petted and praised. One of the working pack. When was the last time I had heard from Shrewd? Or Chade. Even the Fool mocked me. What was I, anymore, to anyone, except a tool? Was there anyone left who cared for me, myself?

#elmo snorting coke meme with characters who are more weapon than person #right after this fitz went to go visit his sorta-stepmom to feel less lonely #but his crush was there and he desperately proclaimed his love for her and she rejected him brutally all in front of his sorta-stepmom #who then was like 'yeah i knew it could never work between you guys but i couldn't TELL you that could i?' L after L for fitz this evening #update from the future: fitz ended the evening by hooking up with his crush!!!! oh my god they should study that comeback in schools #that was also WOT-core in terms of me feeling 'this scene is adorable but wow does it feel abrupt that they're declaring love' haha #maybe that's just the way of things in 90s fantasy #in WOT i did really enjoy most of the romances post-establishment even though the establishment itself felt abrupt #so maybe the same will happen here!#in-world it's justified here bc fitz & molly have known each other for many years already (unlike most WOT couples)#it's just that *i* feel like i don't know their relationship well enough yet. essentially the 'i consent!' 'i consent!' 'i don't!' meme #rote

Unreliable everyone

#huge mood

verity and fitz every time kettricken gets into some kind of trouble or misadventure

#fitz judging the fuck out of verity for being a distant husband while his own relationship with molly is a dumpster fire is my fav thing #healer heal thyself #i can't lie...........i lowkey am wishing for something to happen between fitz and kettricken #i do deeply appreciate having an m/f dynamic that's emotionally & narratively significant while being completely platonic!#but a) imagine the fun messy drama of fitz falling for his uncle's much-younger wife who fitz thinks he's been neglecting #and b) i feel that i know and am invested in kettricken more deeply than i know and am invested in molly so far #and hence i'm somewhat lukewarm on the fitz-molly dynamic while the fitz-kettricken dynamic is more engaging to me #though maybe it's the kind of dynamic where if it actually DID become romantic it would become LESS engaging #so i'll be careful what i wish for! i highly doubt there will be any romance there anyway there are 0 vibes between them #(though i think molly THINKS there are vibes and that's why she's being Weird with fitz atm)#i do quite like molly but just feel like i don't really KNOW her ya know? i feel distant from her #which does track with our narrator fitz being a 15yo with a crush and putting her up on a pedestal #and perhaps loving the idea of her and loving the way she makes him feel more than truly loving HER as of now #if she sticks around and their relationship continues as fitz grows older and wiser #i'm sure he will start knowing and seeing her more deeply and therefore i will too!#there are so many books still to come! i gotta let everyone cook!#rote

TQT gen: intentionally unreliable narrator

WOT mat: unintentionally unreliable narrator

ROTE fitz: just kind of stupid sometimes narrator

#my holy trinity #again please no ROTE spoilers i beg of you i'm only just starting book 2 #the queen's thief #wot #rote

still only a little ways into royal assassin, and i am overcome with the increasing suspicion that burrich was in some kind of weird throuple situationship with chivalry and patience back in the day

"According to Patience, a man cannot be sworn to be King and give his heart fully to a woman as well. 'You cannot put two saddles on one horse,' she told me. This from a woman who married a King-in-Waiting, and was content with whatever time he had for her." I reached to hand Burrich the mended halter. He did not take it. He had been in the act of lifting his brandy cup. He set it down on the table so sharply that liquid leaped and slopped over the edge. "She said that to you?" he asked me hoarsely. His eyes bored into mine. I nodded slowly. "She said it would not be honorable to expect Molly to be content with whatever time the King left to me as my own." Burrich leaned back in his chair. A chain of conflicting emotions dragged across his features. He looked aside into the hearthfire, and then back at me. For a moment he seemed on the verge of speaking. Then he sat up, drank off his brandy in one gulp, and abruptly stood.

like WHAT am i supposed to make of this???? there are Vibes off the charts here. vibes of what, i don't know, but they're off the charts. i am fascinated and will be keeping my eyes peeled!

#no one haunts a narrative like chivalry #love that for him and for me. it's so tasty.#burrich has been Weird about chivalry this entire time really #i remember raising my eyebrow at his big feelings about patience giving that earring to fitz in the first book #burrich i know what you are #or were he and patience having an affair while chivalry was busy being king-in-waiting???#much to ponder #and of course fitz is giving me very few clues bc he's too much of a 15-year-old to pay attention to things that don't directly affect him #bless him #rote

HANNAH DODD as FRANCESCA STIRLING Bridgerton: Season Four (2026)

#bridgerton

the mortifying ordeal of returning home after having been ill for several months due to your uncle poisoning you only to find that your crush is now working at your house, your whole family knows you have a crush on her and thinks you've handled your courtship with her inappropriately, and she's mad at you for concealing your identity from her and also for handling your courtship with her inappropriately, and this is all news to you because you had no idea that you were ever courting her in the first place. also the uncle who poisoned you is still hanging around and you have to be nice to him.

(pls no spoilers past this, i'm a first-timer and i'm going to put this disclaimer on every single ROTE post i might make because i am so serious about wanting to remain unspoiled on a series for once!)

#babyboy is going Through It #i love that book 1 started with fitz as a 6-year-old because now i'm like. this is LITERALLY my son. i've watched him grow!#i want to protect it i want to see it grow up healthy i want to tell my friends and neighbors about it.jpg #rote
