"...but the stairs are grand underfoot."

#em draws stuff #rls kidnapped #david balfour #well I just think that the house of shaws ought to be a little bit haunted! #all those curses have got to go Somewhere after all! #and a little while ago I was creeping up the stairs in the dark with a midnight jam sandwich #and the thought 'davie would do this' came into my head. and then I went on a mind journey about whether or not he'd have sandwiches. #mild research + thorts conspiracy board have produced Inconclusive results on whether or not he would have a sandwich in 1750s cramond #as you see his Evening Snack did make it into the image but it got a lot spookier along the way! #fic to go with this To Follow Eventually!!! have been Writing It!

there are certain things that must be present in an adaptation of david:

he has So Much Conscience

he has so many EMOTIONS

he is built like the side of a barn

he is as autistic as a sackful of cats

he will get sick if someone coughs in the same county as him

he's just a little guy. he's just a little GUY. he's kind and loving and just trying to do the right thing and in way over his head and everyone who sees him wants to protect him

he is so brave. he's so so brave. you can't make him back down no matter how much you frighten him, if he's sure that what he's doing is right

his worst flaw is that he's very prideful and prone to self-righteousness. his second worst is that he's got a temper and he's very prone to mouthing off when he loses it

he's on a hair trigger when it comes to laying down his life, his honor, and everything else he has for anyone who needs help, even if it's already too late.

not a single adaptation I've seen yet has understood all of these things. most have gotten a few of them, and a few have gotten most of them. but the search continues

honestly who among us hasn't pushed the boundaries of medical hazard for the sake of wearing a binder just a bit longer. like when you're running from redcoats through scottish deserts after escaping a slaver ship and you have this tory acquaintance with you and you're not sure how he would react to you having naturals all of a sudden. like you might as well keep it on right

#it's just good sense isn't it #there is this historian whose name I do not remember who suggested that jacobitism was itself a branch of toryism? #sounds very reductive but do you see the issue #rls kidnapped #david balfour #robert louis stevenson

[vickyvicarious]

I stepped forward, came close behind him where he sat, and suddenly clapping my two hands down upon his shoulders—“Ah!” cried I.

Can't believe his reaction to a murder attempt was to sneak up on the guy and yell "boo!"

Nothing

Just thinking how Ebenezer readily gave David 37 guineas in an act of "sudden generosity" as he probably planned to empty David's pockets after he fell off the unfinished stairs

Please, someone. David's decision in this chapter means so much to me. The full import of it is something that's easy to overlook on a first or second or even third read, but it's THERE and it's lovely.

Please understand that at no point in the entire lead up to the conflict does David think that he or Alan will come out of this battle alive. He tells us this again and again. That he has no hope. That he fully expects his dead body to be cast into the sea before morning. What can a boy and a man, if they were brave as lions, do against a whole ship's company?

It's easy to read that and understand the danger he's walking into. That David is risking his life to save Alan's. But when you really consider it, it means so much more.

David doesn't think there is a way to save Alan.

In David's mind, even if he warns Alan and fights beside him, brave as a lion, Alan still dies. David has not the slightest glimmer of hope. The only thing that would change is that David would die too.

The choice isn't to risk his life to save the life of this stranger. The choice David makes is to lay down his life completely, step from relative present safety to certain death, just so that this stranger will not die with no one standing by him.

Even if it would never matter, in the final result, whether he did all he could or not, Alan's a human being, and that means it matters. And so he will do all he can. Even if just having done all he could for this stranger, even if it never changed a thing, costs him his life.

David sees Alan just sitting there eating his supper, and it's worth it.

We've heard a lot 'bout adaptations od 2005 and 1971, but actually there are some more, and my beloved one is 1978❤

For real, why no one says a thing about it

or a different palette ask: cowboyce alan and davie in ‘lobotomy’?

I traveled through October, the mountains and the plains / Hoping that the losses won't outweigh the gains...

#em draws stuff #rls kidnapped #alan breck stewart #david balfour #this one was a fun one and I'm really pleased with how it turned out to make them look like they're in a really old movie #like this would be the hand-colored promotional picture for their Wild Swashbuckling Adventure Film #unrelated to all that I did not have references on hand and also am not quite sure Whenabouts you're planning to place them #so I have just gone for Vibes down to the very ends of things (and indulged my long-held affection for copper-toed boots) #caption lyrics are from 'gotta get goin' by goodnight texas which has Long been an alan breck song to me

[rangerpippin]

David, so exhausted that he can't stand up, make himself stop smiling, or even sleep, seeing Alan look concerned: oh no are you mad at me

davie lad!!

#I went back and forth on whether or not to give him facial hair #in my mind's eye david balfour is clean-shaven. but I doubt being trafficked to the carolinas leaves one much time for grooming #one day I am going to draw alan breck. One Day #anyway being 17 is hard. not only do you have growing pains and 300 secret shrimp feelings #sometimes you also get sold into slavery by your uncle and then run about the highlands with a jacobite #eelart #robert louis stevenson #rls kidnapped #david balfour

Sequel to ‘The Once and Future Kings’ . There are rebels in Valinor but Fëanor knows they have not the power to defeat the Valar. They have to leave. Yet more sons are born to he and Fingolfin and they will not subject their children to the probable dangers of a wild and unknown Endor.

Fëanor, however, has touched the totality of the Flame Imperishable and more wonders and brilliance are born from his mind and hands.

And now is the time for Melkor to be released, apparently penitent. Or does his probation serve a different purpose?

In the modern world, Vanimöré means to return to the Monument to track down everyone involved the child trafficking ring but Edenel and Coldagnir are concerned that he will never return.

These are Times of Thunder
