local man attempts to maintain dignity after having his ass thoroughly dragged by mysterious woman
tomorrow's not coming
i can't hold onto angst for too long bc ella ashmore should never be sad ever again so consider this as well
I'm sure this has been said before, but I really like the idea that Tadius fantasized about killing the king (and probably the prince, too) before he met Ella, in the same way Ella fantasized about killing her step sisters and mother. They both feel trapped, aidless, abused, and lack a large level of autonomy; which is why both of them are eager to enact their revenge the second they have the ability/opportunity to do so.
That's why Tadius is so quick to:
1. Believe Ella is talking about the king in her monologue (she's hypothetically saying what he's secretly been thinking for a long time)
2. Smother the king with a pillow (both enact unapologetic (/pos) vengeance before their exact plan is fully realized because they are so eager to gain both freedom and justice)
Hello Elladius/Tadella shippers, I give you this prompt idea:
AU where Ella was able to marry the Prince, and Tadius is forced to stand by and watch her be miserable, suffering at the responsibilities of being a queen and wife. One night he can’t take it anymore, he’s standing outside of the royal bedroom with a knife, thinking “it’s for the queen, I have to do this for her”- planning to kill the Prince in his sleep, only once he sneaks in, he’s faced with Ella who is also holding a knife to the sleeping Prince’s neck. And the two just…stare at each other.
”Did you just call me heavy? That’s your third treason of the day! Crumb!”
“Yes mi’Lady.”
“I need you to kill Tadius for me please.”
little illustration for the fic “for there to be starlight, you must have a night sky” on A03, totally wasn’t written by me.
The crowning of Queen Ella Ashmore
"Sunset and sunrise, Fearsome and regal, Ashes belie a crown"
AU where the Prince survives except, once the trolls are dead, Ella refuses to marry him. Her desire to marry him- once she met him- was based off the power she could gain to defeat the trolls and...well, the trolls are dead.
And that should be it, except the Prince has decided Ella is his One True Love and decides to win her back. And by "win her back", he sends Tadius over every week or so with another elaborate gift and the same speech.
This would be humiliating because the renewed House of Ashmore start knowing when Tadius is going to show up. And it is- Ella definitely sells the first few gifts to hire staff to help clean up the house and gain some nicer clothes- bit over time, Ella and Tadius are more distracted by talking to each other.
One day, Tadius returns with a letter.
It's his resignation letter.
some cinderella's castle sketches bc watching the proshot forced me out of art block! all of ella's looks are absolutely inspiring i couldn't resist putting my own spin on them, and also throwing in an attempt at a tadius sc redraw where he is (in the words of curt mega himself) absolutely smitten with her bc who wouldn't be :,)
might colour and render these when i have the time who knows,,,
