#letting her see henry

@pretty-pony I think s3 might work. Either you squeeze it into a pocket between Neverland and the new curse, or - and I think that would work even better - in the witch-hunting arc. Like. The whole season is made for a fake dating plot, obviously, but fake dating like this?? Revolutionary. I would love to see it!

been seeing this tag on ao3 called “mutually unrequited” and i dont mean to nitpick but like….thats not…..what it means…………..

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.

Generally love how anyone who at least watched a little Horrid Henry agrees on one thing: those parents were beyond shit and Henry will very likely go no contact as soon as he's an adult.

[its-been-rose]

Imagine Marie is like driving Henry to school one morning or something, they’re just in the car together, and he looks over at his mom and goes

“….Mama? Can I be Henry Campbell?”

And Marie scoffs and shakes her head chucking softly before going “you don’t want to be a Campbell.”

And he knows better than to argue with his mama but he just kinda looks out the window and says softly “well, why not?”

And she just sighs and grips the steering wheel harder and goes “‘cause your grandparents were terrible people. You don’t want to be attached to their name.”

And he looks over at her face like “you’re a Campbell. You’re not terrible.” And he watches her eyebrows furrow and she goes

“I gave you your father’s name for a reason. Remember that. When you’re grown, you can do whatever you want with your name. But I can’t see any reason why you’d want to stop honoring him just to take the name of those monsters. Just drop it. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. “

And he just looks down because there’s no way he can possibly explain that she matters to him more than both George and his grandparents combined without severely pissing her off

other than the entire adultery plotline, the only thing i would retcon in the entire season 1 of ouat is the fairies are cursed to become nuns in storybrooke. WHAT EVEN WAS THAT??? so many characters became their exact opposites, so why was blue the exact same stuffy woman both as a fairy and in storybrooke? in my mind, the fairies became a giant lesbian commune (so essentially what they already were in the enchanted forest) living on the outskirts of town. and because storybrooke shouldn't have any contact with the outside world, the fairies collectively own a farm that sources most of the food for all of storybrooke. when the curse broke they were like hey actually this is pretty good. and kept being a giant lesbian commune.

Hey guys, if we're gonna post hate on a character [not critique not analysis literally just you saying "I hate this character, and I don't care if u guys like her"] maybe don't put it in her character tags and say how much u wanna kill her.

For one thing, if it's a female character that's not a unique opinion, but it's also rude and in rather poor taste.

J.L. Laynesmith taking the 'Buckingham Did It™' route for the murder of the Princes in the Tower AND the rumors of Edward IV's bastardy ... I have to laugh

Henry loves William because William is the only thing left that would love him back.

His wife has moved on, his son hates him, he still here whispers of murderer when he walks through town even so many years later Even his own granddaughter who does not know all of the horrible things he's done looks at him like he's some kind of monster.

The only person left in the whole world that cares about him is William....

heyy i got a question do you think henry would get jealous??? and if yes what would he do?

well, as previously mentioned in another post with a similar theme, i don't think henry would be amongst the jealous. in fact, i think he would remain under the constant impression that he is the best you could ever do or even remain indifferent to your other potential endeavors with anyone else. i don't see him as a possessive and envious partner — he wouldn't care enough to be that sort of person.

it'd already be difficult and taxing enough to enter a relationship with him in the first place, let alone make it last. he is far too emotionally unavailable and aesthetically preoccupied for that. even in the case of a relationship between the two of you being struck up, i think his arrogance and condescension wouldn't allow him to perceive any spark of jealousy whatsoever. he wouldn't care enough about that, or even go as far as thinking that you would never even consider yearning after anyone else after trying so hard to win him over (well, true). he'd simply be too self-absorbed and thus not self-aware enough to be jealous. and this is not to say that he doesn't get insecure — he may do so in an academic setting, but not in a romantic one. he simply doesn't care about romantic endeavors enough to pay it all too much mind.

he would be completely and entirely convinced of your loyalty, and even if anyone tried to make a move on you in front of him, he would be the type to not care at all. he would continue behaving himself normally, perfectly aware of your being talked up, but not entirely willing to do anything about it due to knowing you'd never entertain it further — unless the other party gets too pushy and forceful, that is. in that case, then, i think he would approach and establish a firm boundary, employing his protective vein after all (we do have evidence of him being protective over camilla at that one party with judy and her friend, you know, that instance where he had to be held back by six people...). i don't think he would get overly violent, though, just very striking and stern with his words.

of course, he wouldn't be the type to get all handsy with you upon seeing someone trying to flirt with you. in fact, he may not touch you at all. i do think, however, that assuming a firm and cross-armed stance next to you would communicate enough. the most touch he'd employ is perhaps a lingering palm on the small of your back, just to urge you aside or establish comfort. but that'd mostly be it.

if it ever came to you trying to make him jealous on purpose, however... well... that would elicit a stoic, collected reaction in public, but result in profound punishment behind closed doors. specifically if you pushed his boundaries and got overly touchy with someone other than him after having noticed that henry doesn't exactly react to your flirting and making eyes at other people. the physical aspect, particularly if initiated by you, would anger him though. from then on, well... punishment central. roughness, firmness, complete lack of mercy.

One of the last super maramu 64's. The end of the ketch era for Amel, but also the end of a design era which created the perfect layout for a blue water boat. Ten-ish extra feet with even a pilot cabin and I'd be 😍

Being a medieval geek and watching medieval shows is both a blessing and a curse, because sometimes the anachronism is funny, and other times it makes you want to throttle the writers and ask them what the fuck they're doing.

Funny Things: technically none of the saddles on BBC Merlin should have stirrups, those didn't reach England until 10th century during the Viking invasions. The shiny decoration on Morgana's green dress wouldn't be beading but most likely preserved beetle shells. The bright red colour of the Pendragon banners and capes would come from a dye made with bugs.

I-Have-QUESTIONS Things: If Gaius and Hunith are supposed to be siblings and Gaius wasn't previously a freeman (ergo bound in service to Camelot, meaning his entire family was also) how did Hunith end up in another kingdom, that's literally illegal, she's also got an education that she clearly passed on to Merlin, so their family must have had wealth/importance at one point, so again WHY IS SHE IN PODUNK, ESSETIR, and [gunshots]

here me out: Young Hunith was an anarchist and deliberately left Camelot bc she wanted to start her own life somewhere else, thereby going against Gaius's wishes to stay low and keep the peace. unlike her relative Gaius, who stayed bc that was the law and whatnot, Hunith said "fuck that" and in this essay i will--
