I may not always succeed but I really do try my best to be a kind, compassionate person and put more kindness and positivity into the world than negativity
#going through some personal shit in real life at the mo#and just trying to remind myself to stay kind#even when people let me down#Even when they treat me badly#I don’t want to be the bigger person#but kindness in the face of ignorance and asshole dickheaded dickery is it’s own victory#I have to remind myself that#every time I lose my patience and just want to scream and tell People they suck#But I don’t want to let them take my kindness and love from me#y’all can ignore me I’m just trying to remind myself why I don’t want to respond to something shitty in real life in kind#Delete later

A.J Pollard’s biography on Edward IV was so cringe lol (generic; minor but frustrating inaccuracies; intensely judgmental at times and oddly dismissive at others while never considering the broader context; entirely diminished and trivialized Elizabeth Woodville as both queen and wife of his main subject in the name of "defending" her; created a false dichotomy between Edward and Henry VII’s styles of ruling and lauded the latter at the former’s expense even though Henry literally followed Edward’s example for the very things Pollard was criticizing Edward for; had a downright nonsensical and thoroughly misleading conclusion about Edward’s legacy & Richard’s usurpation that was based entirely on hindsight, Pollard's own assumptions, and the complete downplaying Richard’s agency and actions to emphasize what Pollard wrongly and misleadingly claimed were Edward's so-called 'failings', etc, etc)
I wanted to buy his book on Henry V but after reading this shitshow and the synopsis of that book, im guessing it's going to be 10x worse, so...no thanks
#history media#this was written months ago im posting it to get it out of my drafts#it wasn't necessarily BAD. it was generic and readable. but it was very disappointing and misleading and its conclusion was just nonsense#listen I have no patience for the dumbfuck idea that edward somehow had the ultimate responsibility for his own son's deposition because#of his 'policies' during his reign. like I said it's based fully on hindsight and entirely devoid of actual context. it's bafflingly stupid#literally everyone expected Edward V to succeed his father and 'both hoped for and expected' (Croyland's own words) a successful reign#Edward V's deposition was richard and solely Richard's fault lol this should not be difficult to understand#the reason Richard's usurpation was possible in the first place was bcause everyone expected E5 to succeed and didn't expect Richard#do to what he did. nothing would have happened without his initiative and decisions. it had nothing to do with Edward's 'policies'#Edward's policies were fine. henry vii - who pollard vaunts to no end - literally *followed* them#and claiming that he failed to unite England under the Yorkist dynasty is just plain stupid#buddy if he truly failed at that then neither Richard III nor Henry VII would have thrones lol. both emphasized continuity with#him when aiming for the throne. like the whole point of 1483-85 was that it was a conflict WITHIN the 'Yorkist' dynasty#it was not an external threat against it.#'his legacy failed' his legacy didn't fail his brother destroyed it (while also presenting himself as his heir because logic what's logic?)#henry's victory was very much the triumph of his legacy (a claimant chosen by his supporters as the husband of his daughter)#like this is really not my interpretation it is literally what happened#i'm not trying to glorify e4 but his son did inherit the throne in a more advantageous circumstances than any other minor king of england#and frankly than most other adult kings. dumping blame on Edward's literal corpse rather than acknowledge Richard's agency is so tasteless#the problem isn't that edward made a mistake in trusting his brother. many other kings including Henry V also trusted theirs.#the problem is that his brother was willing to break that trust in a way that was unprecedented and broke all political norms of that age#ie: Richard's usurpation occurred because of Richard who re-ignited conflict to make himself king. please drill this into your head#also btw this illogical 'interpretation' is based entirely on Charles Ross' hatred and derision towards Elizabeth Woodville and her family#if you agree with this inteterpretation you agree with his vilification of them 🤷🏻♀️#anyway if you want a better interpretation that's actually analytical and looks a relevant rather than a flawed retrospective perspective#i would recommend rosemary horrox's 'richard iii: a study of service' and david horspool's 'richard iii: a ruler and his reputation'#anyway one last time: STOP downplaying Richard's agency and actions. historians who do this are stupid and embarrassing. bye.#(i should really post horspool's glorious takedown of ross and Pollard huh? it was very entertaining to read)

that line of astarions where hes like "oh dont pout because you're not getting your sweet, cuddly astarion. i can't be the person you want me to be" in act 3 makes me go crazy wtf
#its so tastey ....... how are people mad abt his ascended ending its so narratively yummy ... leaving the cycles of abuse unbroken#is kind of epicc sometimes#like i got that on venlis playthru which was 80 hrs of hope and love and seeing the best in people so it was very thematically appropriate#idk it was kewl and felt like a callout for ppl who think growth is linear and all that. not even like astarion tries to be a good person#usually cus he heel-drags and resents altruism but with patience he can come to care about the player character in exquisite ways#i dont even remember what this was triggered by i think venli was talking to the gur and told him he had to help their kids or whatever LOL#hes just crazy hes like im biting and killing you for trying to see the good in me hows about i become worse#personal#delete#but also what he says to dark urge when you resist for the last time and its like 'you see? you dont have to be what someone made you to be#exquisite ... . ...#but also victory absolutely ascended him and it was fun and yummy and also narratively satisfying to see him go insane LOL#bg3 spoilers#just to be safe

In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it – is true godly patience.

I love making shy subs beg, they’re always so so resistant to it at first but they always break eventually… you will tell me exactly what you want to happen in detail, even if it’s embarrassing, even ifs disgusting, even if it’s scary, and then I’ll make you repeat it all again just so I can make sure that its definitely something you desire. I will train you to ask nicely for what you want, no matter how shy or bratty you may think you are… its only a matter of time
#beastie growls#don’t worry I cater my methods to the sub 🖤 sometimes they need affirmations and coaxing and rewards#sometimes they need a little more pushing and shoving ^_^#and it DEFINITELY is a matter of time and training and patience and celebrating the small victories no matter what

"If you cannot forbear, feign to do so because it is seldom that a man likens himself to a group and does not become as one of them." (Nahjul Balagha, Hadith n. 207, from "Al-Islam.org") Pictures are from here: Instagram.com/PanahianEN
