#Oh I LOVE this #This lines up... shockingly well in parallel to Jane Seymour #also I love Alias Grace so even better (x)

And I wonder, how can I be all these different things at once?

"I heard the boy Smeaton whimpering, crying for mercy behind the locked door and I made to go down and free him. Then I thought "no boy now it's your turn to suffer.""

The way Cromwell talks about Smeaton, you'd think he straight up MURDERED Wolsey.

But he didn't! Nobody did! Wolsey died of natural causes. If anybody killed him, indirectly, it was Henry.

Boy. Suffer. Whimpering. Crying for mercy. Cromwell knows exactly how much pain he was causing.

Imma say it: Cromwell and More are equally capable of sadism. Cromwell just hides it better. They both imagine themselves as avenging angels of justice. They're both delulu.

Anne Boleyn, Wolf Hall // Alicent Hightower, House of the Dragon

[visenyaism]

the relationship between tomas cromwell and anne boleyn in these books just really defies description. they’re sisterwives to henry viii together. they’re eve and the serpent. they’re each other’s other woman. she’s his hag. he might have been in love with her sister but they don’t talk about that. she trusts him because he’s not noble and therefore expendable but that’s the main reason she doesn’t trust him. he put her in power and is actively trying to supplant her because he wants to watch her think her way out of it. she tried to get him beheaded yesterday but today they’re getting brunch. he’s her right hand left hand arm. she’s his silly rabbit. does he call her that. no

This fantastic reproduction of a gown worn by Queen Jane Seymour in a portrait by Hans Holbein was seen being worn by Kate Phillips in the 2024 sequel to Wolf Hall – The Mirror and the Light.  The piece looked familiar, and some digging revealed it to have been used in 2016 in Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, worn by Elly Condron also portraying Jane Seymour.

However, because the documentary likely did not have any original costumes, it means that the gown almost certainly did not originate with the 2016 documentary.  So where did it originate?  The most likely candidate is the 2008 adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl.  Though the gown, worn by Corinne Galloway as Jane Seymour is shown only briefly, and almost entirely in shadow, it does appear to be the same gown. Minor alterations were made for Six Wives and The Mirror and the Light, but the fabric on the petticoat is the best indication that they are one and the same.

all the actors in wolf hall being 10 years older than they were in the first season is an accurate representation of what it did to them to be part of henry viii’s court

thomas cromwelllll you have to stop. you have too much street wisdom. your station is too upwardly mobile. you smoke more different. your liturgy is too heretical. your fabric choices are too fine and discerning. your bitch is too bad. they’ll kill you.
