whumping pretty boys >>>>>

my left eye for the 180th time has caught a bacterial infection and I am seriously considering buying an eyepatch and pulling up to school looking like shrewsbury until I feel better

or forever

it's rlly weird ngl

but talbot did it so idc :P

meet the shrewsburyyyyyys!!!

sorry that one post glued itself to my brain

he is the truest turtle

oh and i was experimenting with posterization and it did this to his face

rereading Mary's death scene in Plaidy and Bowen to torture myself (and William) on purpose 👍👍

oh and after reading all the Plaidy books with M&W in them (except for Courting Her Highness, if they appear) I deem Royal Sisters the most well written imo because obv PLAIDY UNFUCKEFIED (tumblr counts that as a word ashfdaugh) WILLIAM and the conflicting views between the two sisters is very interesting! And the thing is she wrote well of William in this book but in The Queen's Devotion, which was published many years later, she fucked him up again (and I deem William the coldest in Queens Devotion out of all her books) but wehh i enjoy reading her stuff most of the time anyway

I also gotta say Plaidy probably took many liberties and threw in some most likely fictional characters//misnamed actual people//used people who had nothing to do with what she made them do.

For example she gave Shrewsbury a mistress by the name of Ms. Lundy who was supposedly Robert Lundy(an infamous traitor)'s daughter, but I can scarcely find info on her(if she exists, i could only find a daughter named Aramintha who was not associated with Shrewsbury at all). Oh and she said Mary had some sorta-maybe-romantic feelings for Shrewsbury. WHich im pretty sure she made up because she wanted to add more drama and romance into the story. Kinda like what she maybe did to Danby in The Loves of Charles II and some others I have noticed throughout her books so yeah I don't think she intended to make these books as historically accurate as possible BUUUT she keeps most of the peeps in character so she could've at least done the same for william and a few others!!

oops these books are keeping me up at night sorry for dumping my thoughts here

i drew tha pretty bois

jemmy is also a part of them imo but the drawing i made of him sucked ass so no

I made little William and Mary gremlins... they've been in my head for a while now :3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOHADOIAGFUSKFJBHDUFGBIWKIDSYKZHDNSHGJFSUI JUFHUISDH IJFUID OIFJSUGB AOFUA

THIS JUMPSCARED ME SO HARD LIKE MY HEART STARTED RACIN CUZ ONCE I SAW THE WORD SHREWSBURY I WAS LIKE WHAT DOES SHEEP PLAN FOR MY BOI

OF COURSE ITS A BOWEN SCENE SHE MADE HIM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SQUEAKY!!!

uuuuummmmmmmmm hMMMMMMMMMMM yes. I can gues. what is coming.

i have the FUNNIEST idea for an nsfw easter art special HOWEVER

it involves shrewsbury. i do not have a shrewsbury design yet

WHY is it shrewsbury. for this hella specific idea i do not know why he is the only one that appeals to me for this

i have not drawn anything like it before so it might end up looking either rlly funny or rlly gross. i dont rlly mind the former tho bc humorous nsfw art is actually so fun

im not sure if i want to share the idea just yet just bc it's a little bit more ~hardcore~ compared to what i usually do

but it's an easter special you guys can probably guess what it is like let's be real here

guess what arrived today

In Nicholson//Turberville Shrewsbury goes from bratty young boi dissing his uncle to depressed twink blind-in-one-eye so fast. Maybe that's just the pacing since we can't fill in every single day of his life but wow he TWINKIFIED SO QUICKLY I think it's his eye. The eye infection did this to him. They don't specify what it was so im going to assume it was (microbial keratitis) conjunctivitis because that thang takes out yo eye and is common and i get to headcanon what i want. for some reason its specifically chlamydial conjunctivitis. no ask. anyways that probably rrRREEEEALLLY scared him i mean imagine nearly losing your sight (painfully too) back when they had barely any helpful things for the blind god fucking damn. maybe the social stigma too...

OkAy so I have read some more and errr here is what i found:

-no shrewsmary. berry literally has more chemistry with anne

-Ms. Lundy actually exists. This book states she and berry were just friends and not lovers like Plaidy did

-his health is WAY WORSE THAN I THOUGHT BRO GOT SEASONAL GOUT AND HAEMORRHAGES DAMN

-his depression moves with his health. but sometimes even in good health he cri

-Matthew Smith exists, except there is no mention of Monterey and I think Weyman did that for Richard Price plot convenience

-berry can be a little bitch sometimes and not be a depressed twink

-mourned williams death more than his moms

-he and his uncle are the best anyways

-hes the one who fell for hida. like its just so cute stOP-

goobye

In Nicholson//Tuberville Shrewsbury goes from bratty young boi dissing his uncle to depressed twink blind-in-one-eye so fast. Maybe that's just the pacing since we can't fill in every single day of his life but wow he TWINKIFIED SO QUICKLY I think it's his eye. The eye infection did this to him.

this is so useful thank you so much :O

Stuff about having monocular vision that people don’t know (in my experience)

1. You only ever sit on one side of a room. (Especially if you’re in class) If you’re blind in your left eye like me, you sit to the left of the room so your right eye has the greatest scope, and there’s not much to your left to look at.

2. Harder time seeing past obstacles. People with two eye vision have the perception of both their eyes blend together for one image. Without this, you only have one eye, so you’re don’t get to see past obstacles the same way. For example if something is blocked for your right eye and not for your left, you can still see it through your left. For people with monocular vision this isn’t possible.

3. People don’t walk on the side of your blind eye. It may just be me, but because I’m blind in my left eye I tend to accidentally bump into people if they’re on my left. So when people walk beside me I naturally go so they’re to my right, or they do, without it being discussed.

4. 3D movies are headaches. Even though we’ve progressed past the red-blue type glasses, 3D just doesn’t work well for monocular vision. (And you know those fun optical illusions? A lot of them don’t work at all- nothing happens!)

5. Things like grabbing a pencil without looking at it are extremely difficult. (Due to lack of depth perception, you have a hard time discerning where things are in 3D space). This also stretches to having bad posture and balance. Meanwhile, things that are flat are relatively easy.

6. You turn your head when you’re looking at something, so your good eye is focused on it. This includes tilting your head at worksheets, TVs, and computer screens- and also people.

7. Seeing in the dark is also much harder, because people rely on their depth perception for it, and without that stuff gets real hard

8. The headaches. Most people with blindness don’t experience total blindness, but instead low vision, where their vision is not able to be used in a way that’s helpful. Your brain tries to merge the images, or use your bad eye to see something in the peripheral. This just makes your head hurt. Much like people who need time to adjust to having glasses due to the headache, getting headaches is common because your vision is always at odds.

9. More susceptible to eye damage. Since you’re not overly aware of your bad eye, you may not notice if the sun is shining directly at it. I tend to squint with my bad eye whenever I’m outside, without thinking about it. Additionally, you’re more wary of anything that could damage your good eye. It’s the only one, so you gotta be careful with it.

10. Also, it makes things really, really weird if there’s a bright light from one side but not from another. There are often after images that float in my vision.

11. Looking at things that are moving can be hard. I can focus on an object, but if a camera is panning in some direction without being focused on one thing in particular, I just stop being able to make sense of what I’m seeing. It becomes very jarring.

12. Sometimes it’s not that your eye necessarily has anything wrong with it, but that your optic nerve isn’t fully connected. So the eye may be healthy, but your brain shut it off, and the connection between the light coming in your eye, and the way the brain interprets it, never fully formed. Funnily enough, I’ve heard that this can cause the connection between your good eye and your brain to be stronger, as it is with mine. For some people it’s the opposite, and it makes both of their eyes worse. Peoples experiences can really differ.

can you pls give me ur favorite fact abt shrewsbury.... i dont care if i already know it i just wanna knows what fucking Gets you about him

you cant just ask me to give you one 🤧🤧

biggest reason is obv cuz hes a TWINk. A GREAT WHUMPEE. BUUUUT this is too broad since there are many twinks. lets narrow it down.

Tragic backstory, eh? Papa died cuz mummy liked sucking balls too much. Now you are forever cursed with chronic nervousness. Hmmm.

Oh yeah adding onto his papa dying, guess whose brother also got fucked in a duel. Lmfao. Shrewsbury loses. Do I need to discuss the emotional impact this most likely had on him??

Like... the guy was constantly nervous, arguably cowardly, timid, and jumpy.. but at the same time charming, generous, dignified,... you list the virtues. This is a very cool combo of traits!!

Also he was HOT AF but never took advantage of it. so points for that. (Although in the Nicholson/Turberville book it mentions in his younger years he had "moral delinquencies". but i dont know what its referring to i may have to do digging.) (Oh and in Weyman's Romance Berry's "wild and boyish days" are mentioned. Still dont know exactly what that mean..) "KING OF HEARTS" 😍😍

He was sick all the time like... SPITTIN BLOOD, UNABLE TO RIDE CARRIAGES, COULDN'T EVEN TURN IN BED AT SOME POINT. +PITY POINTS.

There is something seriously wrong with his relationship with Nottingham. He got sick cuz of personal jealously of Nottingham. Had useless shouting matches with Mr. Finch in the House. He wanted to resign cuz of Nottingham so bad Burnet had to prevent him from seeing William cuz he feared Shrewsbury would GO TOO FAR with William. That man was FUMING. You see where the secretaries ship comes from.

He's such a bitch to his uncle. next

he married such an interesting wifey!! she was known as an eccentric, an outcast in English society. Except Anne and George I LOVED HER. Like she was crazy in the eyes of the people but crazy and genuine is good when you're surrounded by liars and power-hungry ones. I love Adelhida she's my spirit animal.. also her brother is so fucking stupid and I'm here for it. They make a great family :3

Oh and going off of that marriage... Berry and Hida never had children. I have this peculiar thing for aristocracy peoples that don't have children. It's my asexual ass isn't it

He held some rlly powerful positions and was really critical in the government... while at the same time despising high positions. I love it when a non ambitious person is in a position people would die for.

In particular I like how Nicholson/Turberville refers to him as Harley's "tool". like. he's not ambitious. but he's got a massive amount of power(he was known as the nations favorite for a while lmao), which can be used to fucking sway the direction of England when utilized. Harley you lucky shit

So yeah hes got a really interesting personality, really interesting people he surrounds himself with, a tragic backstory yada yada

I just really really really like how he looks okay end of story

shrewsbury is so fun bc he acts like this blushing nervous virgin at all times but when you get a moment alone with him you just know he's had more cocks in him than your average hentai protagonist

the talbot family..

“Why is the other secretary hot…”

Shrewsbury was so hot God had to nerf him. Took out his eye..

NO BECAUSE I HAD A DREAM WHERE I WAS ON AN AIRPLANE FLIGHT WITH SHREWSBURY… AND I REMEMBER THIS ONE SCENE VERY VIVIDLY WHERE I WAS JUST LEANING INTO HIM N STUFF AND WE PLAYED AROUND AND HE ASKED “How do you feel about me?” BRO I FEEL 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️👹👹👹😍😍😍🥰🥰😘😘🤤🤧🤧 ABOUT YOU AAAAAAAHHHH

then there’s our beloved Russell in the aisle seat filming this.. supporting the wattpad romance ‼️

it was so cute… im gonna cry..

God is feeding my delusions <- actually just me and my messed up subconscience

in place of me i have my beloved oc i made on the spot help me she dont have a name-
