#Stephen Cromwell

[cosmic-walkers]

None of the sexual/horny subtexts in Wolf Hall will ever come close to the sexual tension of Thomas pressing his hand against Stephen's ribs in an attempt to threaten him. Like, even the way they speak to one another and the tension of the conversation...I love them so much.

IT IS TIME.....for the annual summary of art!!!✨

It unfortunately doesn't feel like there was any progress on my part when it comes to rendering, but I do feel like everything looks a bit smoother and coherent in comparison to last year 🤔

Tudor courtier history is so interesting to me because what do you mean that after Cardinal Wolsey died, Stephen Gardiner and Thomas Cromwell took care of Wolsey’s son and provided for him, and basically acted as step fathers. Mind you, at the end of Thomas Cromwell's life, these two detested each other.

So when Thomas was being executed was it like ‘my dads are divorcing?’

Also Thomas Wynters (Wolsey’s son) was 1000% having an affair with William Boyde. And he is also pretty useless.

Snippets from my fic where Thomas calls Stephen out on his hate-boner for him before his execution.

Shardlake Trailer

In 16th century England, during the dissolution of monasteries, Thomas Cromwell sends Matthew Shardlake and Jack Barack to uncover the truth behind a horrific murder. "As they race to uncover the mystery, Shardlake and Barack are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order." (Hulu)

Shardlake is based on C.J. Sansom's Dissolution, the first of his Tudor crime novels following Matthew Shardlake. The four-part miniseries stars Arthur Hughes (Matthew Shardlake), Anthony Boyle (Jack Barack), and Sean Bean (Thomas Cromwell). Justin Chadwick directs from a screenplay by Stephen Butchard.

Shardlake premieres on Hulu on May 1, 2024.

Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell's relationship is complex in Wolf Hall and now Im realizing why Thomas More refused to actually admit that he and Thomas met when they were younger.

The mere idea that someone as low born as Thomas C could not only climb that high on the social ladder but also threaten the very foundation of English society and religion infuriates More. Back then, social positions like nobility, royalty, etc., were based heavily in religion and what God allowed. Lowborn men, like Cromwell weren't supposed to rise above their station the way he did. But for one to rise above his station and completely change the pattern of English society and religion - well to More that is an act against God. Thomas' very existence goes against God and the natural order of things.

So it's better to pretend that he wasn't that poor, beaten boy at Lambeth palace. It's easier to assume that he is some mysterious man who maybe had a head start in life, who maybe lies about his past and wasn't the son of an abusive black smith. That way to More, Thomas Cromwell's existence makes some sense.

In short, Thomas Cromwell's very presence challenges just what Thomas More thought of God's natural order of things, and as we know, he doesn't like when God's natural order is challenged. And more importantly, he can't burn Thomas C. When he comes across things that challenge that order he burns them, but there is nothing feasible enough for him to charge Thomas on...so yeah, he pretends he never saw him.

Seeing, and hearing, double in threes.

Stephen Fry, a sputtering woman asking "How long has this been going on?" of two people having a months-long affair when it was she, herself who had them spending time together in the first place, and a hacked bisexual who had to address said hack on live TV.

Am I talking about Red, White, And Royal Blue or the latest episode of "The Morning Show"?

I hate to say it but Thomas is very responsible for the breakdown and spoiled friendship between he and Stephen more than Stephen actually is. Like, i think Thomas created a monster when he worked against Stephen and humiliated him, and refused to stand up for him.

I'm not saying he deserved to be killed, but he created the monster that ended up killing him

thomas and i took that personally cromwell
