they really tried to Barbenheimer Deadpool and Wolverine and It Ends With Us...

[starliteonearth]

It has come to my attention that Deadpool drops a "baby girl" right after the third act climax, which means a "baby boy" ain't too far behind. Spideypool girlies, gird thy loins! This shit will hit like crack in the 60s!

gunnie's relationship with skip/norman is truly so unbelievably absurd and nonsensical in its progression and yet it's also pretty fucking good. the "you're a coward" and gunnie's response in ep1 vs "you're not a coward" / "i know" in the epilogue was insane. gunnie becoming a kind of second pilot is incredibly endearing. but then sometimes i remember the scene from early in the season where gunnie's trying to stop skip from eating a napkin. and i think about gunnie's initial reluctant resignation to being declared skip's son vs him later introducing skip as his dad (to people who KNOW his fathers, mind you) and deliberately imitating his audible smile. and i think about how completely out of the blue the whole son thing was in the first place. axmurph live reactions pictured below for reference

i love point b. but how the fuck we got from point a to point b is beyond me

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

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.

I am freaking out. Everybody is gone. It’s just us host parts here.

Not dormancy; it's like everyone's been relocated. I can't reach anyone and I don't know where they are. The area of headspace I can see into (I can't seem to leave the forest but I can see the house, nowhere else) is just... empty. Like no one’s been there for years.

It used to be the house that was the access point and now it’s the forest, which aligns with the host change. But the host change was in October last year and I don’t know if there’s been no other parts since then… since October seems like a long time to have no parts activity at all but I genuinely can’t remember. I mean we had the introject split last week but what if I was just projecting my BPD/whatever fixation and xe doesn’t actually exist?

It’s just so quiet. There’s only us, the DLPs. I reach back and I cannot feel anyone. Usually there’d be at least someone nearby, especially one of the easily reachable parts. I tried to reach back to a part that I’m particularly close to and I got a sense of, he was trying to reach me back but there was some incredibly powerful force stopping him. Like we were on opposite sides of an impenetrable wall.

Not sure what to do. Do I email my psych? And if so, do I mark it as urgent? Does this count as a crisis? Therapy is only 6 days away but that’s so long…

I guess. If it really has been since October. Then it can wait another 6 days. And if it’s been like this since after the introject split (if xe exists – how can I verify when I can’t contact anyone??), then that was a week ago and it can wait another week. At the very least, I’ll leave it tonight and see how I feel about it tomorrow.

I was curious if you knew of any good summary of the Seymour faction in 1536. I liked AB Files but is there a good one by a historian?

Bound to Obey and Serve? by Lauren Johnson is an excellent, comprehensive one, the longer version of the same article in the Tyndale Journal is even better.

The only aspect I would say she missed was the Seymour connection in the jury that convicted George and Anne Boleyn. There was Henry Courtenay, who was named conspirator by Chapuys, and there was also Thomas Wentworth, who was Jane's (maternal) first cousin. This is an aspect I hope another historian (or she herself, although I know of no upcoming Tudor books from this historian) expands upon; Johnson touched on the irony as far as it extended to Francis Bryan's involvement in this faction, and later assistance in the destruction of another of its most prominent members ('fortunate to escape imprisonment [in the Exeter Conspiracy], [yet Bryan] did so at the expense of his family [and] sat on the jury that condemned his brother-in-law Carew'). What was not mentioned was that Wentworth, also, was on the jury that condemned Henry Pole and, again, Henry Courtenay (both noted by Johnson as prominent members of the factional party of 1536) years later, again, in connection to the Exeter Conspiracy.
