tbh i do think the way you interact w fanbase can be and often is political. i do think you should unpack why you think certain things. i do think you should confront why you either ignore or objectify or treat poc like abusers. i do think you should look into why you can't bother to care about women characters. like i do think that matters lmao lol lmao. it's not raining on anyone's parade to rightfully point that out.

"As for the government of the kingdom, [Edward V] had complete confidence in the peers of realm and the queen."

"According to the Crowland continuator, [Elizabeth Woodville] seems to have taken the king's place in listening to his council immediately after Edward IV's death. It does appear that she expected to have some role in her son's kingship, and the Crowland continuator’s report of the letters sent to her by [Richard of Gloucester] indicates that she had good reason to expect to be able to work with him and the other councillors: 'the duke of Gloucester wrote the most pleasant letters to console the queen; he promised to come and offer submission, fealty and all that was due from him to his lord and king, Edward V, the first-born son of his brother the dead king and the queen'."

"[However], in what was Gloucester's first coup, Edward V was separated from his household and Woodville advisors. When the young king questioned the move, Buckingham was reported to have told the boy 'It is not in the business of women but men to govern kingdoms'. The blunt remark referred to the authority of Elizabeth Woodville as queen and the power she must have anticipated within the new political climate left by Edward IV's sudden death [...] While the veracity of this scene is questionable*, the words attributed to the duke no doubt seemed plausible to Dominic Mancini who believed they exemplified the popular sentiment held by men [...]."

-Dominic Mancini, The Usurpation of Richard the Third / J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Alexander R. Brondarbit, Power Brokers and the Yorkist State, 1461-1485

*One of Mancini's key sources seems to have been Edward V's own doctor, John Argentine, who attended to him in the Tower. It's very likely that he was the one who recounted this scene to Mancini, which suggests that it should probably be considered more credible than not.

SWEARING LIKE A SAILOR. @dracharenae said: what the fuck happened?

IT WAS NOT HER HABIT to shirk such obligations, certainly not to arrive late to a meeting with such an INFLUENTIAL PATRON in search of the forces of her grandfather's fleet. in light of the circumstances, however, politesse was a necessary sacrifice. Esmeralda offered an APOLOGETIC SMILE to the Dornish envoy, frustrations clearly festered in the hours in Sevilla's absence, and wiped the drying BLOOD from her forehead. oh, how she was craving nothing more than a cool swim instead of this stilted diplomacy, a change of clothes, a comb in her hair ... ah, but the wills of the flesh fall second to those of the FATHER.

❛❛   my apologies, Miss Sand, for the delay. and for my unfortunate appearance. ❜❜

Esmeralda laid aside her sword and sheath –– THAT MUCH she had made sure to clean, far too precious and protective to risk. she would have preferred to look less the common sellsword and more the former lady, if she'd had the CHOICE in the matter. Thank the Lord of Light that you are alive at all to complain.

❛❛   some old friends honored me with an ... unexpected visit this afternoon. ❜❜

anonymous  :  if you couldn’t be with mike, how hard do you think that would be to move past? do you, realistically, think that you’d be able to find someone else to be with?  [  send my muse personal questions on anonymous!  //  accepting !  ]

       the question cuts through him like a searing hot knife through butter, unyielding and merciless, slicing through the pieces of his heart that have long since cracked and lay broken in in jagged shards within his chest. loving mike is the easiest thing in the world, the most natural thing for will to do, and yet it’s also his downfall. the one thing will doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to completely recover from, and he’s already accepted through an abundance of aching heartbreak that such a love could never be reciprocated.

       “i- i already don’t think i ever, um- stand a chance of actually being with him, but...” words to serve as a painful disclaimer of sorts, spoken to clear the air and set things straight. his voice is shaky and quiet, the urge to withdraw on himself as strong as ever. “i mean- i almost don’t even know what it’s like to... not be in love with him... how- how do you move on from that...? it just- ah... i dunno... it doesn’t seem- possible, i guess... he- it’s always been him. it’s hard to imagine it ever not being him. nobody gets me like he does, nobody- understands.”

       he pauses to take in a deep breath, to gather the rest of his thoughts. a million different things bounce around inside his head, years worth of feelings and inner-conflict bubbling up to the forefront all at once. it’s dizzying, and always hard to make sense of. “people like me, we- we don’t... have a lot of options, y’know...? we can’t just be ourselves and easily find someone to be with. because- revealing that part of ourselves - to anyone - it- it always has risks. it can even be dangerous, and- trusting someone else that much, to tell them who you really are, a-and hope for the best in having a shot with them, i- i don’t know... i don’t know if i’ll ever find someone like that... who- who knows me inside and out, who i can feel comfortable with sharing everything that’s happened to me, and, like- bare my soul to and all that... i- i don’t think there’s ever gonna be anyone for me...”

What kind of catharsis do you need? Homecoming You've been away for quite a while -- maybe it's time to call it a day. You've had to keep up the façade for so long you're starting to forget who you really are. This calls for a nice cup of tea and an early evening in. Pack it up, settle down. Come home to yourself.
