I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

[FIC] Off the Starboard Bow

Fandoms: Temeraire, Hornblower (TV series) Rating: Mature Pairing: John Granby/Archie Kennedy, (hinted past Will Laurence/William Bush) Note: banter + good old fashion hanky-panky, because i figure these lieutenants should have SOME fun. 

Summary: On their way to China, Lieutenant John Granby receives the pleasure of meeting Lt. Archie Kennedy, of the HMS Renown.

“Good God, we are barely on the first course, are they drunk?” Kennedy asked in an undertone, biting his bottom lip as if to avoid laughing himself.

Granby took no such caution and grinned. “I was told they served as midshipmen together, back when Laurence was in the Navy.”

“Lord, I wouldn’t be surprised if they drove their officers mad,” Kennedy said, shaking his head.

An UPDATE for THIS post:

6 hours have gone by and I believe the worst is over - no second 'follow up' seizure, not even a headache... just where my body 'hit' the ground is SORE af.

I wanted to take this moment to THANK everyone who sent me messages/comments asking if I was alright. I will admit that I pushed myself a little to try answer everyone at least once while still in a very vulnerable and shaken state.

But the original post was more of a 'permanent' record of the seizure for me and a heads up to my rp partners I had told I intended to work on drafts and post my response - I didn't think at the time I was capable of private messaging each individual- so my intention was awareness and not to alarm anyone.

I may take a few more hours to rest before trying to tackle anything Tumblr related since I'm still sore. But I'm okay and I adore everyone here ~

Thank you again for your understanding and support. ���

Having POTS and a fear of fainting or feeling faint is wonderful.

I constantly mention tricyclics and really old medications just because I had epilepsy when I was really young and took keppra for a prolonged period while my brain was developing and like fun fact, they still don't know a whole lot about what happens when you're on these medications long-term and you're really young, because the primary concern is stopping seizures and then everything else is kind of like a "in the search of a greater good" type of thing

So like I get really sick on anything that affects my serotonin levels, to the point where I just leave vomit profusely and am actually just extremely miserable and they were like "eh, could be the keppra thing" and recorded it for future reference but like now I take like primarily super old medications from before ssris were popularized

So if y'all ever think you might be the same possible brand of fucked up as me and ssris and snris make you really sick there's your little possible reasoning??? Idk but shout out to the shitty old antidepressants, they've literally saved my life.

for the last few weeks i've had this one post i saw here on the mind describing a kind of seizure that just so happens to line up rly well with these weird... muscle spasm events...? i was having somewhat frequently a few years ago. and like. i hardly ever get them anymore. but i probably should mention them to my gp :(( EVEN THOUGH I REALLY DON'T WANT TO. but i will.

just woke up from a dead sleep because i somehow heard my mom say, from the next room: pookie are you okay? what are you doing?

cable tv seriously needs to stop putting flashing lights with no warning!!! and public places!!! that's so fucking dangerous!!! people with photosensitive seizure disorders could be seriously hurt, and they can't exactly avoid flashing lights if they don't know they'll be there!!!! when watching movies with my friends i have to cover my eyes sometimes and have them tell me when the flashing is done. Flashing and strobing lights are so dangerous to have in public places; epilepsy is not rare. 1 in 26 will develop it in their lifetime and i think broadcasting stations as well as public places with strobing lights need to remember that. not all people with seizure disorders are photosensitive, but there's enough that it could be seriously dangerous!!!! almost all epileptic people i know are photosensitive!! INCLUDING myself!

oh shit

I haven't posted about Avatar in a *hot* minute, but, I have been infected with the hyperfixation again and the incessant urge to just hit Spider with the projection/trauma stick is driving me feral.

I just want to give him a shit ton of issues man. I want to make my sweet baby boy baby miserable. I love him so I have to make his life as hard as possible.

like making him absolutely unwell and giving him a list of chronic illness/disabilities (on top of the ones he already has from being human on Pandora) wouldn't fix me, but it'd do something that'd make my brain feel a little less implode-y 🤷🏻

Edit: small disclaimer for anyone who doesn't know me, I am disabled, hence why I said projection, I just feel like I should mention that, or the tone of this post feels a little uncomfy

Bailey’s been a little off the past few days so her vet recommended a neurologist for her. Keep her in your thoughts on Thursday while she gets tested for everything.
