Hello!

So probably more known if youve seen my posts but ive been on a search for behind the scenes Kingdom Of Heaven footage for months, and all I've had for a while was

- the fact i watched the footage and documentary

- 2 screenshots

- an imbd page

thats all, until recently when looking around i saw some more footage! the only issue is its in a tiktok thirst trap of king baldwin xD

..atleast i feel less like i was imagining the whole thing

Tiktok

tmw you find out Baldwin IV was an actual war criminal 🥰🥰

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.

Maybe if he was a little less fuckable we wouldn’t be in this mess

had to modify the mask a bit as it wasnt matching my reference photos, lets hope it looks just as good as it did before once im done this thing ;;

ive had to resize his lips 3 times, i will hold off on updates as to not clog up anyones feed, as he currently is.. his chin is falling off and i have to sculpt some more lol

hello!

first id like to apologize for the lack of actual posts/memes, i do have stuff i wanna post just my storage is hella full so i cant edit anything for now,

secondly, its now been 1 full year since ive been on tumblr!

i started this blog as a long time lurker of the king baldwin iv fandom, and created an account to post art and talk to others who are as invested in king baldwin as i am, in which i never truly expected the scale that would be in the long run.

im very grateful for all the friends ive met on this platform, all of you i hope to continue to talk to even if we split ways in terms of our mutual interest(s), and im happy that all of you decided to follow me and my antics and want to be friends with me as well!

this is also my first ever year truly posting on any platform, so i wasnt sure what my reception would be, it is funny however looking back at my first posts, knowing that at the time of posting them i was utterly TERRIFIED.

now my most famous post being me talking about baldwin iv and saladin oiled up...oh how times have changed

i just wanted to say thank you, and i love you all, and i hope to continue this amazing time!
