Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 5th Tilt

Edward the Black Prince, A Knight's Tale (2001) VS. King Henry VII Tudor, The Hollow Crown (2012-2016)

Propaganda

Edward the Black Prince, A Knight's Tale (2001) Portrayed by: James Purefoy

“The medieval romantic disguised royalty trope, the ridiculous but very sexy long leather coat, the cheeky sense of humour...”

King Henry VII Tudor, The Hollow Crown (2012-2016) Portrayed by: Luke Treadaway

“He makes his first appearance about an hour and twenty minutes into the two hour program, and he exists basically for the sole purpose of looking youthful and righteous, marching slowly - upright and princely on horseback - along the coastline. He looks very pretty bathed in the rosy glow of the sunset the night before battle, gets in a nice kingly speech in the morning and then, drenched and covered in mud, he wins the day. Perfection. 10/10 no notes.”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

@softodettes made a post and it started a little brainrot session at 2am, so if the sawyer/jesinia is taking too long I'm blaming it on her and not on my tendencies to procrastinate... anyways

The Lancastrian casting did NOT have to go this hard in the Hollow Crown... Like excuse me who said they could make ALL the Henrys hotties?

Like y'all I was already pro-Lancaster I didn't need this kinda propaganda to seduce- I mean induce me

Some thoughts on the watches:

I have this book about watches that I pulled inspo from. Yuji is wearing a Tudor diving watch (oyster prince submariner), Megumi a Rolex (oyster perpetual)… I heard somewhere the lore behind the two sister brands is Tudor’s logo, the shield, symbolizes that it is the “shield” to the Rolex crown.. which I thought was kinda fitting of their characters 😤 megumi comes from a long family line of sorcerers and his entire relationship with yuji revolves around them both protecting and uplifting each other to get stronger. Also, Tudor is known as a military/navy watch brand, if Yuji weren’t a sorcerer I’d imagine he’d be in that kind of field.. lol anyway that was way too deep for just me wanting to practice rendering formal wear 🙈

For the Tudor people around here - spotted this on the InternetArchive! Nine Tudor audio plays, broadcast on BBC radio between 1970-2013. I haven't come across any of them before, but they sound intriguing!
