Thomas Boleyn is my most hated character in The Tudors.

He gave me the creeps every time he was on screen, and I didn't like the way he treated Anne. I hope that he wasn't like that in real life.

Singing, dancing, and music surrounded this lady princess in her youth. She herself learned to dance, to play instruments, and to love the music of the 13 minstrels retained by Edward IV for entertaining at court festivals. The minstrels' trumpets,shawms,small pipes, and strings added a professional component to her early musical education and became a vital, ever-present part of Elizabeth of York's life. As queen, Elizabeth retained her own minstrels quite separate from those of Henry VII⎯and rewarded them generously. Her own children played the lute, virginal, clavichord, and organ, while she herself played the clavichord (and perhaps other instruments). Her son Henry VIII became renowned for his singing, dancing, and composing. ⎺ Elizabeth of York (Queenship and Power), Arlene Okerlund

If a love triangle/unwanted marriage is resolved because the rival woman/obstructing wife dies in childbirth thus freeing the OTP to be together, I'm sorry, but that's a Deus Ex Machina and lazy writing. It is so clearly the author putting their finger on the scales.

love getting really into a book to the point where it affects the way i view the world around me. someone pissed me off today and my first thought was ‘well they wouldn’t survive the court of henry viii’

You will go whenever I command it, and all of you will dance to whatever tune I sing.

Every horror movie should be required to have a scene where no matter where they are, everyone is screaming at the same time.
