Holding up my end, drew @veganpepperoni's character Bruno Cattivo! We ignore the hyperfixation I have on this comic bc it's like. Half my posts... But SHUT UP!! MY BESTIE DOES COKL STUFF!
Hope I did your evil Italian justice
Check out the comic at @pizza-tower-jekyll-and-hyde-au! I don't do anything malicious there!
During my Tumblr radio silence I was working on my part for @pizza-tower-jekyll-and-hyde-au ‘s MAP! Considering how I haven’t animated in ages, or animated a human in general, this was a fun challenge and I enjoyed every second of it!
I regret not saving the time I spent on this, but it was like four and a half days lol. Anyways enjoy! And check out the MAP, as there’s still some unclaimed spots.
P.S. Sometimes Tumblr steals the video’s quality for no reason. I’d recommend refreshing or watching on YouTube if it looks blurry!
i had a the mental image of him with the voice of ja’far (twisted) and now i can’t unsee it… so naturally i turned that into a fake VHS screencap (poorly)
Idia being a jerk to Azul is so funny to me. Hes a shy mofo till he gets to know you, then those burns and sass start coming.
It's so funny!!!! The way they both snipe at each other with their remarks... at least they're on equal footing when it comes to climbing stairs LOL. The two of them being out of breath is so silly to think about because Riddle's also there and there was no mention of his struggles, so we can assume that it was just Idia and Azul (both notoriously bad at PE) who suffered.
Idia deserves to be sassy more often. He's one of the funniest, if not the funniest, twst character. I'm so glad he's there to sass Azul. <3
Even if we believe that the (entirely unproven and far too politically convenient) pre-contract story between Edward IV and Eleanor Talbot was true, it doesn’t actually matter. Even if it was hypothetically true, there was still no reason why Edward V – who was already King at that point and was referred to as such – couldn’t have been able to succeed his father regardless.
David Horspool (Richard's own historian) summarizes it better than I could, so I’m just quoting him here:
"[Richard also made] no allowance for any potential solution to the problem that might have re-legitimized Edward V and his siblings. These included securing a retrospective canonical or papal judgement of the invalidity of the pre-contract; an Act of Parliament legitimizing the children of Edward and Elizabeth Woodville’s marriage, as happened to Henry VIII’s variously tainted offspring; or even ignoring the issue and proceeding to the coronation of Edward V, which would legitimize him by making him the Lord’s anointed, and render allegations of his bastardy as newer versions of the old tittle-tattle about his father."
In short, even if Edward IV truly had a pre-contract with Eleanor Talbot, and even if all of his children with Elizabeth Woodville were supposedly illegitimate, it should by no means prevent Edward V from succeeding his father to the throne. If Richard truly wanted to support his nephew, he had a variety of useful and entirely workeable options to choose from. Instead, he officially declared his nieces and nephews (including a literal 3-year-old) illegitimate, kept Edward V and his even younger brother confined in the Tower of London, and declared himself King.
Why didn't Richard take these actions, all of which he would have been well aware of? As Horspool says simply: "that Richard took none of these courses was because he had no interest in doing so."
The ONLY conclusion we can come to based on Richard's actions is summarized most succinctly by A.J Pollard:
"The truth of the matter is that Richard III did not want Edward V to be legitimate because he did not want him to be king."
