I'm crying they're literally the fucking meme:

[ardenrosegarden]

Where John established chaplains and made gifts for the souls of his brothers Henry the Young King and Richard, similar arrangements for Geoffrey were almost non-existent. They appear to be limited to his inclusion amongst the royal relatives for whom chaplains were to pray at Lichfield, arrangements made not by John but by Bishop Geoffrey Muschamp in 1206. There may have been good reason for this lack of attention. Those for whom John made provision were anointed kings and queens who died within the Angevin lands. Geoffrey died in Paris. John does not seem to have provided for the souls of his sisters Matilda, who died in Saxony (1189), and Eleanor, who died in Castile (1214). Yet John could hardly have known these sisters, who left the Angevin lands in 1167 and 1170. He did know Geoffrey, whose final rebellion, unlike that of the Young King, was not in alliance with his brothers. His death was also to John’s advantage, increasing his chances of becoming king. John was in direct competition with the duke of Brittany’s son Arthur for the succession. He may have preferred not to commemorate Geoffrey.

This trend is further confirmed by naming patterns. In naming his legitimate children, John largely followed the example of his own parents, except that Geoffrey, a traditional Angevin name, was absent, as were two names with Anglo-Norman, Angevin, and (or) Aquitainian pedigree: William and Matilda.

— callbacks in the lion in winter (1968)‎‎

A little project to tide me up while I wait to complete my binding of the movie screenplay. This is the second draft of the screenplay for the movie, so a couple quotes might not be found in the movie (like John's "mother me") but also might be missing. even though this draft has some amazing deleted lines.

the quotes are just in order of when I thought about them, since I was surprised by just how explicit some themes are. watching it with subtitles the amount of "dogs barking" around when Henry does anything is almost comical. But at the same time they're not simple callbacks, ya know? The motivs are just subtle enough to be motivs but you can still find them in writing. Anyway. James Goldman has now become my ridicolous writing standard to aspire to that I'll never achieve. gooood for me.

(edited on 29/06 and added another callback)
