‘Twentieth-century historians had little time for her, and what attention they did spare her was largely dismissive; she was a dupe, the tool of her brothers, or if she wasn’t, then she was a cold-hearted usurper who hadn’t batted an eye during Anne’s arrest and execution and went on to marry Henry anyway. (How exactly she was supposed to politely break the engagement isn’t clear). David Starkey dislikes her intensely, and makes it clear, and even Eric Ives, usually quite even-handed, can’t resist making some jabs at Jane’s “servile” choice of motto, as well as her appearance; after quoting John Russell on Jane Seymour’s “rich apparel”, he comments that “Anyone familiar with Holbein’s portrait of Jane Seymour might be forgiven for feeling that she needed all the help she could get.” He also makes it clear that in his opinion Jane’s “modesty” was entirely a ploy to bring in the highest bidder. Alison Weir, in The Lady In The Tower, admits that it’s impossible to know just how involved Jane was in the coup that brought Anne down, but nonetheless makes sure to inform the reader that Jane was “plump and insipid”, that where “Anne was witty and feisty, Jane was studiedly humble and demure; and where Anne was flirtatious by nature, Jane made a great show of her meekness and virtue.”
Although Antonia Fraser makes a reasonable argument in The Wives Of Henry VIII that Jane was not necessarily any of those things, but may simply have been expressing her own genuine feelings and opinions, the last century in general has not been kind to Jane; she’s become an odd, contradictory mixture of stupidity and cunning, powerlessness and hypnotic ability to make the king of England do something unprecedented in history. While Jane could not have been the plaster angel of her early portrayals, recent ones do, I think, go too far in the other direction, assuming a mindset and a degree of power which she simply would not have possessed.’

yall have got to be more normal about Southern people and I'm not kidding. enough of the Sweet Home Alabama incest jokes, enough of the idea that all Southerners are bigots and rednecks, and enough of the idea that the South has bad food. shut up about "trailer trash" and our accents and our hobbies!
do yall know how fucking nauseating it is to hear people only bring up my state to make jokes about people in poverty and incestuous relationships? how much shame I feel that I wasn't born up north like the Good Queers and Good Leftists with all the Civilised Folk with actual houses instead of small cramped trailers that have paper thin walls that I know won't protect me in a bad enough storm?
do yall know how frustrating it is to be trans in a place that wants to kill you and whenever you bring it up to people they say "well just move out" instead of sympathizing with you or offering help?
do yall understand how alienating it is to see huge masterposts of queer and mental health resources but none of them are in your state because theyre all up north? and nobody seems to want to fix this glaring issue because "they're all hicks anyways"
Southern people deserve better. we deserve to be taken seriously and given a voice in the queer community and the mental health space and leftist talks in general.

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.
#writing#art#music#games#things i have to remind myself of daily#anyway ive found those things you're worried about sharing are often the most powerful things you CAN share#i hope you write#<- i would like to replace that tag with something that is less conversational#it makes reblogs awkward#anyway good morning. i have so many things to do today but instead i am crafting a memorial to my partner's best friend in my fanfiction.

intimacy between an evil spiteful building-sized supercomputer and the lone scientist left behind after everyone else ditched and forgot about her (in which computer wants to kill scientist really bad but her programming wont let her so she just attempts to make her as miserable as possible instead, which also doesn't work because scientist is a freak)
#just some guys ive been tossing around in my brain#can you tell i like drawing wires.#art tag#oc tag#computer yuri#objectum#evil supercomputer#toxic yuri#cartoon violence#robots#my apologies to edgar. your bf isnt that terrible. you can do better tho#(hes from a movie called electric dreams i didnt make him)#edit got lightly scolded (rightfully!) for not taking the alt text seriously. genuinely uncool of me and it has been fixed. i hope
