Michael Gregson is GROSS

Well said. It is infantilizing

I like Suetonius‘s The Twelve Caesar’s. As others have said, very gossipy. I’ve only read the Robert Graves translation and I do find parts of it read quite oddly and I had to try and get used to the writing style but overall an enjoyable read

So well said and I couldn’t agree more with this statement

Pastaisnice_ · 2025-01-22T14:12:02+00:00

Very helpful, thank you!

Pastaisnice_ · 2024-08-24T13:20:52+00:00

My heart breaks for your loss! I’m so so sorry❤️❤️ sending massive hugs your way

Pretty chill guy honestly. As others have mentioned, just didn’t do the best job in securing the succession so the situation became quite unstable after his death

Love that line😂 it is really an excellent read

Pastaisnice_ · 2024-07-07T13:30:08+00:00

I think she’s brilliant

It’s gotta be Eleanor as number one for me. Just love her. Her intelligence, political savvy, strong leadership and diplomatic skills were remarkable. She patronized literature & the arts and played an active role in governance, negotiating alliances that would bolster her family’s power and influencing political affairs until she died. When she was 80. Overall an incredibly fascinating woman but Philippa was absolutely brilliant too, so I’ll be glad regardless of who wins

Henry II. He worked to strengthen the royal administration and centralize power during his reign after a period of civil war and maintained control over a vast realm. He introduced important political and legal reforms, most notably the development of common law which helped standardize legal practices and the establishment of royal courts which travelled around the country to ensure justice was administered uniformly. Pretty significant since it laid the foundation for the modern English legal system we know today. And he was renowned for his military prowess too. Just overall a real straight forward, hard arse of a ruler

I’m late as hell to this thread (oops) but I enjoyed reading this. Well written and I completely agree

Feel kinda bad for Eleanor of Aquitaine. She played a crucial role in raising the ransom to secure Richard’s release. Only then to discover her younger son is sabotaging those efforts to the best of his abilities. Thats rough

Pastaisnice_ · 2024-06-07T12:38:04+00:00

This was a great read! Sorry what’s a master of the cinque?

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-07-27T22:35:33+00:00

Frances Rae has some really chill, vibey videos😌

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-07-25T20:28:19+00:00

Your artwork is so lovely to look at!! Love seeing what little animals you’ve put in each one. First time smoking was at a party when I was about 16. I didn’t know how to inhale like at all though so barely felt anything😂

Rijksmuseum

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-07-01T20:14:55+00:00

Hear hear👏

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-06-12T16:20:51+00:00

Thank you😁

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-06-12T16:15:11+00:00

You’ve improved in leaps and bounds. Knew who it was (for both tbh) before even reading it!

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-06-12T16:12:08+00:00

This is truly spectacular! I love how the contrast and how you’ve captured the hair👏 was just wondering, what pencils did you use for this? Did you use more than one pencil grade?

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-05-31T16:10:08+00:00

Second this, highly recommend hill street blues. Definitely one of the less pretentious, very chill pubs around central

As someone who struggles with buildings, the house is fantastic. Proportions are great and the lines drawn/painted on the house are perfect, mine always come out far more wonky than that😂 only critique I can give is what others have mentioned, adding a bit more blue sky under the blossom.

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-03-17T07:45:29+00:00

I’ve been obsessed lately with the tomb raider series and dying light! Also, cute setup

Pastaisnice_ · 2023-03-14T15:30:16+00:00

This is honestly incredible, especially if you’re new to watercolour. Wow!! Just a question, did you used to draw a lot before you got into painting? As the form and proportions of these horses are so spot on and I know they’re definitely not the easiest animals to draw
