[randomthoughtsihavesometimesig]

In my camera roll

I had to

[raybiblio]

this might be the most niche thing ever but does anyone else get so imaginative whilst listening to music like as if they're dancing to it or performing to it that they literally physically jerk or is it just me??? for me it's any song from SIX but especially All You Wanna Do and Ex- Wives and if i listen to it before going to sleep i imagine the choreo (somewhat real mostly made up) so hard that my body cannot contain it and i literally overheat because its like im actually dancing

Six and Henry VIII

So Six the musical kinda slaps and it is really really silly. Which I adore. And it got me thinking (yeah surprise...)

The first thing i find interesting how this musical about queens does not want to talk about politics. It frames the stories of the queens as personal stories with an abusive ex. And it is not alone in this regard. A lot of youtube viedeos about Henry Viii and his wife weirdly do not want to talk about politics. They just assume that Henry VIII stays an "internationally revered king" . Which is not the case.

that is most prominent in Haus of Holbein and Get Down. Haus of Holbein paints the picture that Henry VIII could choose any girl he wanted in Europe.

That was not the case. All of the catholic princesses didn't want to marry him because of catherine of aragon. and most of the protestant princesses didnt want to marry him because of anne boleyn.

The reason Cleve got such a good settlement was because she accepted all of Henrys Terms (Henry loved himself a submissive woman) and because she was a protestant princess. if henry cut of a princesses head of there was a real possibility that the protestant countries would have declared war. After Cleve Henry was internationally isolated. Cleve was supposed to be the bridge to the other protestant countries. There ist nothing of this in the muscial. Because the musical doesn't want to talk about politics.

The other thing is: after Anne Boleyn every other wife was scared of losing her head. And still Jane Seymour was cast as a love story...

TL/DR By refusing to talk about politics and consequences Six the musical which wants to drag Henry VIII for his abuse of his wifes ends up weirdly sympathetic to him.

“More,” instructed Sascha, and their assistant obediently yanked on the cords of the piece of corsetry that was wrapped around the body of Cassius Halestorm; both the boy and Sascha’s assistant made grunting noises at the effort, but still the corset barely budged.

They’d been at this for nearly an hour.

They were in Sascha’s private atelier within the Haus of Holbein, where the vampire had called in their young client for a fitting. The newly-reunited band Cthulhu had had several consultations with Sascha since Shoshana had asked Sascha to be the band’s stylist, and the looks they had collectively come up with for all of the other band members were nearly complete, hanging on mannequins around the atelier; for Shosh, a slim-cut multi-paneled overcoat trimmed with black lace and velvet, made from reclaimed vintage upholstery fabric, that she could remove during a performance to reveal a bodysuit underneath, paired with her signature thigh-highs, of course. The wolf, Henrietta, had requested what was essentially a full-body harness, made of up intricate patterns of overlapping, woven straps and buckles (made of platinum and bronze, never silver), with utilitarian pockets and patches that could be removed, rearranged, and replaced with other attachables at her discretion. The new bassist had wanted elevated streetwear, with cargo pants and cropped jackets that flared and hugged in all the right places.

It was just Cassius who’d had trouble nailing down a design.

And it’s not as if Sascha was imposing this on the boy; it had been Cass who’d marked corsetry as something he wanted to try, when they’d all been given lookbooks to flip through for inspiration.

Sascha sighed, and pursed their lips; if you wanted something done right, oftentimes you had to do it yourself. “Leave us,” they said, not unkindly, to their assistant, who nodded with barely contained grateful relief before scurrying out of the workroom. 

Sascha glided across the room behind Cass and took the corset strings in hand, which caused the latter to tense up. “This isn’t going to work if you don’t relax…” Sascha chided, and caught Cass’ eye-roll reflected in the mirror. Gradually, with slow and painstaking patience (which, as an immortal creature, Sascha had plenty of), Sascha pulled on the laces, millimeter by millimeter, holding the strings taught. “…it would also help if you slowed down your pulse, stopped breathing so frequently.” As a dhampir, Cass didn’t have the luxury to stop breathing altogether, as full-blooded vampires did. But he didn’t need nearly as much oxygen and blood-flow as he seemed to be in the habit of using, and would function perfectly well on less with a little bit of discipline.

Which is one thing the boy seemed to be woefully lacking.

To make conversation, and to distract from the slow, vice-like tightening of the corset, Sascha said, “…Shoshana tells me you’re a relation of one of the rare Redlocke vampires—Verlie. Tell me—how is she faring, with her new role? I know she was resistant to being…how did she put it?—‘on fucking house arrest in this abysmal country.’” Sascha chuckled, and tightened, remembering the veritable tantrum the young Redlocke vampire had thrown when she’d appeared to plead her case before the Vampire High Council, her own family representing the opposition against her. That had been an interesting deliberation, to be sure.

[trvbblemaker]

i just realized in haus of holbein they say "turn this veir into a nine" and veir means four and that song is a transition into cleve's part, and she's the fourth wife!!!
