How do you think Baldwin would react if reader got into a heated argument with someone to the point it was getting really bad?

King Baldwin x reader - Defending your honor

A/N: eheheh I see you guys really yearn to see Baldwin losing his temper, huh?

I can't lie I've been thinking of a similar scenario too lately, I guess you can't help it when he's so perfect in every way, shape or form🙈

Painting is "Orestes pursued by the Furies" by Adolphe William Bouguereau btw :))

Warning: mention of disrespect towards reader but nothing is actually specified!

He's intervening right away

He's got the wits to shut anyone's mouth, and he isn't afraid to embarrass whoever it is that is disrespecting his perfect wife

Whether it's a snide remark, a direct insult or an order for them to shut their mouths if they don't want any consequences for their outrageous behavior

If it got really really bad, like you said, I can actually see him lose his temper

Maybe the person arguing with you took it too far by directly insulting or belittling you, and that would cross the line for him

He'd jump up from his seat, pushing his chair down to the floor in the act, while looking dead in the eye unfortunate fool who dared to disrespect her highness the queen of Jerusalem

"If you dare to speak to your queen in such a tone again, your tongue will be your next meal!"

Everyone is shocked. You are shocked, his knights are shocked, your own rival is shocked (and mostly terrified)

Baldwin is a bit surprised with his own rush of wrath, too, but he doesn't give any hint of his surprise

While his servants waste no time putting his chair back in place, he keeps standing menacingly, eyeing the culprit of such blasphemy against his wife

After a few apologies from the person, Baldwin would hiss through gritted teeth: "It is the queen you have to apologize to, you miserable"

And that tone somehow manages to be even more threatening than his previous yelling, maybe because everyone knew that in that moment he was in his right state of mind, and that he was able to make whatever decision he wanted to punish the man before him, without ever regretting it

He wouldn't calm down until you give him a sign that everything's alright, then he'd drop the subject but it would still cling to him for the rest of the day

He loves you more than words can express, and he will never, ever be able to just stand silently there and observe someone disrespect you like that

Wait...wait...I've just realised something about The Sleeper.

So obviously there's the whole joke on the name Wake (as Ortus himself accidentally points out: "Perhaps a better name would have been.… the Waker") but...I think there's also (yet another) classical reference here.

In Aeschylus' Eumenides, Orestes is pursued by the Furies for the murder of his mother, Clytemnestra. The Furies in question are Tisiphone (“avenging murder”), Megaera (“grudging”), and...oh yeah...Alecto (“unceasing”).

To give Orestes a respite, the god Apollo puts the Furies to sleep, but they are woken by the ghost of Clytemnestra.

Now usually when ghosts turn up in ancient Greek plays/poems/etc it's to complain about not having been buried properly. Clytemnestra turns up asking for vengeance. (The Furies then track Orestes by the scent of his mother's blood on him, and then it all goes a bit Judge Judy with the goddess Athena, but that's getting past Clytemnestra...)

Anyway, Clytemnestra's ghost turns up and says to the Furies: "Sleep on! Aha! Yet what need is there of sleepers?"

So apparently the River bubble is just niche ancient Greek ghost references all the way down...

loved this idea so much i wanted to make it a proper image post. anon your mind

[id: an anonymous ask reading, “Ravenous concept: Boyd being haunted by Reich, like Orestes being pursued by the furies.” the image above is an illustration of this in shades of red and blue; reich hovers upside down in front of boyd, pale eyes wide and grinning with teeth. shadowy specters of reich with pale eyes and grinning mouths follow behind boyd. end id.]

You said that Apollo is the ultimate misogynist... But that was Aischylos' Eumenides's fault! In othr myths he supports women! Why you say he is the ultimate misogynist? I'm a woman, but also i like Apollo! Do't forget he and Artemis defended their mother from that giant! Apollo also prefered the FEMININE companion of the Muses...

That misogynism is Aischylos! Now everyone will insult Lord Apollo something he didn't said and contradicts with others actions in his myths!

I didn't? I merely pointed out that (at least in my experience) people seem far more willing to call Athena a misogynist for what she said in the Eumenides in comparison to Apollo whose claims are just as problematic™ if not more so.

And sure, he has good relationships with some women and doesn't let his mother get raped (not that any of this would inherently make him not a misogynist), but at the same time he also pursues unwilling women, commits rape and fights with other men over a woman instead of asking her which one she wants to be with.

As for people insulting Apollo... I mean, the Eumenides is, like, two millennia and a half old, so his reputation is probably quite safe even if some people dislike him (generally for reasons unrelated to this particular play). The ancient Greeks themselves didn't seem to take any issues with his portrayal in the Eumenides and to consider it out of character for him. It's perfectly normal for a mythological character to differ in some respects from one story to another, even to act in ways that contradict their actions in other sources; that is the nature of mythology. All of that aside, why does everyone keep assuming that a character in a literary text must wholeheartedly believe every word he/she says? Apollo is trying to defend Orestes against the Furies and it would be very easy to choose to believe that he is simply using whatever argument he thinks will be most effective in absolving Orestes of the crime of killing his mother. Wouldn't that be easier than railing against the long dead author?

Orestes Pursued by the Furies (Also known as The Remorse of Orestes)

by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

In the Iliad, the king of Argos, Agamemnon, sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia to Artemis to assure good sailing weather to travel to Troy and fight in the Trojan War. In Agamemnon, the first play of Aeschylus's Oresteia trilogy, Agamemnon's wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus, murder Agamemnon upon his return home as revenge for sacrificing Iphigenia. In The Libation Bearers, the second play of the Orestia, Agamemnon's son Orestes returns home to take revenge on his mother for murdering his father. Orestes ultimately does murder his mother, and afterward is tormented and chased offstage by The Furies, beings who personify vengeance.
