"I often think, why did I not die in the cradle or the womb, like my brothers and sisters? It must be that God has a design for me. Soon I, too, may be elevated beyond what seems possible now."

[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

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

BEHOLD!

The first half of teaser stills for my upcoming Wolf Hall animatic! It will be released early 2025, so keep an eye out if you're a fan of my entirely beloved Cromwell, Wolf Hall, and all that this wonderful series brought to us! It's been in the works for some months now and I am so elated it is finally finished. I cannot wait to share it with you all 💖

Part II

(I also started working on it way before the first trailer for s2 got released, and I kid you not when I say that I predicted some scenes almost exactly like they were shot in the show. No one will believe me this lmao)

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.

Wolf Hall + Art Anne of Cleves by Bartholomaeus Bruyn the elder

The portrait was purchased in c.1734 by the then President and major benefactor of St John’s, William Holmes, for his private collection, and then acquired for the College by his successor as President, William Derham, in 1748. The sitter was only identified in print as Anne of Cleves as late as 1855, in J. W. Burgon’s Arms of the Colleges of Oxford. The date and authorship of the painting long remained debatable. Following major conservation work on the portrait in 1989/90, the conservator Candy Kuhl and the then Keeper of Pictures at St John’s, Professor Peter Hacker, persuasively argued in the Burlington Magazine for the date in the 1530s at the court of Cleves, before Anne came to England to marry Henry.

— Well, I think it's a little late to read the Cardinal a lesson in humility. His real friends have read it long ago and been ignored. — And you count yourself a real friend, do you?
