" Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now, at last, begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait, before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race?
The sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us?... "
It's the 25th of November, and you know what that means - it's 847 years since the Battle of Montgisard Happy Montgisard day y'all

tfw you see some stupid post that paints medieval peasants eating just plain grey porridge and acting as if cheese, butter or meat was too exotic or expensive for them, and have to use all your inner strength to not just reblog it with an angry rant and throwing hands with people. so i will just post the angry rant here
no, medieval people did not only eat grey porridge with no herbs or spices, they had a great variety of vegetables we dont even have anymore, grains and dairy products, not to mention fruits and meats, all seasonal and changing with the time of the year. no, medieval food was not just tasteless, maybe this will surprise some of you but you can make tasty food without excessive spice use, and can use a variety of good tasting herbs. if you'd ever tried to cook some medieval recipes you would know that. medieval people needed a lot of energy for their work, if they would only eat fucking porridge all of the time they would get scurvy and die before they could even built a civilisation. they had something called 'pottage' which was called that because it was cooked in one pot. you could leave the pot on the fire and go about your day, doing stuff and come back to a cooked meal. they put in what was available that time of the year, together with grains, peas, herbs, meat etc etc. again, if you would try to make it, like i have with my reenactment friends, it can actually be really good and diverse.
dont confuse medieval peasants with poor people in victorian england. dont think that TV shows what it was really like. dont think that dirty grey dressed people covered in filth were how the people looked like.
they made use of everything. too poor to buy proper meat? buy a sheeps head and cook it. they ate nettle and other plants we consider weeds now. they foraged and made use of what they found. hell, there are medieval cook books!
most rural people had animals, they had chickens (eggs), goats (milk and dairy), cows (milk and dairy), sheep (milk and dairy) and pigs (meat machine), and after butchering they used ALL THE PARTS of the animal. you know how much meat you can get out of a pig, even the smaller medieval breeds? the answer is a lot
if you had the space you always had a vegetable garden. there are ways to make sure you have something growing there every time of the year. as i said they had a variety of vegetables we dont have anymore due to how farming evolved. you smoked pork in the chimney, stored apples in the dry places in your house, had a grain chest. people could go to the market to buy fish and meat, both fresh and dried/smoked. they had ale, beer and wine, that was not a luxury that was a staple part of their diet.
this post ended once again up being longer than i planned, but please for the love of the gods, just actually educate yourself on this stuff and dont just say stupid wrong shit, takk

this varré shit aint for the weak ❗❗❗
In all seriousness I do understand your pov in a sense of seeing a character (or, someone from the real world) being misinterpreted and moulded into a way to fit peoples desires, it is something every fandom experiences.
I will add on however, that theres a general conceious within the "King Baldwin IV Fandom" that any fanfics or romantic acts or whatnot is about the fictionalized version of him from Kingdom of Heaven (2005), and not the historical, *real*, King Baldwin IV.
To my understanding, everyone has great respect for him, and wouldnt write about someone like that as it is morally wrong to do so.
However, this isnt to say people cannot take inspiration from his life to add to these fics, which you may be getting confused with, I dont believe this to be morally wrong, as its still very much in the realm of fiction, and not actually wanting to fuck the real king, just the one from the movie, inspired by him.
Everything else, the fandom is made of alot of people who are interested in his real history as well, with plenty of resources scattered throughout, if you do wish to learn more about him and his legacy.
You can always block what you do not wish to see.
-------------------------------------------------------
To answer your question to the best of my knowledge, he didnt have any suitors in his time because he took a vow of celibacy, both because he was essentially banned from fucking (to not further spread the disease), and possibly also to his own benefit, as to be seen as not like his parents, who were massive whores.
(in short)
When something gains more fame, it inevitably brings low-quality public. It disgusts me how King Baldwin IV is disrespected by shipping him with an Oc who doesn't even behave like in the Middle Ages. I'm not against shipping as long as it makes sense, besides Baldwin IV is a real person, how the hell can you create in your disturbing fantasy having sexual relations with him like orgies (he is a Christian and sick with leprosy). At least respect his memory.
i know him personally and he said its ok
