The Iron Duke @the1ronduke - Tumblr Blog

What am I even doing?

There was an astonishing amount of French peple on this silly platform… that cannot be good for anyoye's health… So unwillingly (Kitty made me do this) here I am. Hopefully not for long. ((It is just a silly idea that I had, probably not historically accurate, but I'll worry about it another time))

In any case, in short I am Arthur Wellesley first duke of Wellington and all the other things. Yes I was born in Dublin. No I don't want to talk about it. Yes I do drink a lot of tea.

Catherine “Kitty” Pakenham is in Pink

Disappointment one or Arthur Richard Wellesley (son 1) is in orange

Disappointment two or Charles Wellesley (son 2) is in green

Edward “Ned” Pakenham (my wife’s brother) is purple ( he he… Ned… I should have married him)

And blue is now Richard Sharpe (from the Sharpe novels because I love him)

So I suppose that even them could answer to questions…

Happy birthday Atty!

Thank you, my anonymous friend, would you like to join us for tea as well?

#duke of wellington #napoleonic era shitposting #anon ask

Cats or dogs. And if you chose either ...what breed do you think is most friendly

As of now, cats, unfortunately I have no real information on the level of friendliness because Sharpe keeps trying to fight any cat that comes around, but as soon as he takes his leave I will make sure to welcome a far more intelligent companion

#duke of wellington #napoleonic era shitposting #anon ask #more than a year after this ask was made #college exams got so bad that I’m back on my nonsense

Why of course I am still here, I merely took leave of this curious place to deal with some things, but hopefully I shall be back!

And thank you for the congratulations, 257 years of myself, I am quite proud of that.

Now then, let us celebrate together

I wish it was socially acceptable to eat my friends

Are you alright???

This is my horse. I think he’s very pretty.

As an equine enthusiast yourself, I thought you might appreciate a look-see.

What a most wonderful sight this is!

Thank you my dear anon friend, I am delighted to see that we share a common passion

Happy Waterloo day to you you dirty liar

I… I would like to deeply apologize for the idiotic things I may have said to @the1ronduke during those times 😔

Let it be known, however, that I was hardly in the best of my faculties! For, pray tell, what man could maintain his vigour whilst subjected to ten drops of laudanum administered every three hours?

the1ronduke

Majesty with all due respect, couldn’t you just… not take laudanum at any slight inconvenience?

It’s done…

@general-junot , sir, it’s finally done… I am very proud of myself.

It’s very much inspired by this post by @dustzvacuumcleaner: (especially because their art style amazing and I am trying to learn to draw things like them)
