"He picks up the gifts and leaves her. He stands outside the room. He leans against the wall, his eyes resting on a picture, where a twisted man adheres to a tree, and bleeds from head, hands and heart" —The Mirror and The Light by Hilary Mantel

Finally watching Tudors showtime series. Wow AIDAN TURNER IS HERE

The budget of period dramas tv shows were really low in 2000s but at least the customs were amazing (not really historically accurate wth cares about that)

[thisbluespirit]

well. also in things i did not expect, posting this and mentioning Max Brown in the tags was for those two to coincide in such an, uh, up close and personal way. :-o

Me, watching The Tudors for the first time (eventually; I sort of stopped partway through s1 but I came back). Me, also a person who has watched all of Downton Abbey (sorry).

Me (in things I did not expect): omg Mr Molesley is leading the whole of Yorkshire in rebellion!

Cromwell after Wolsey's death | Cromwell looking for Wolsey's ghost Wolf Hall, Ep 2 | Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light, Ep 2

Historians: It’s the general consensus among us that Anne Boleyn was NOT guilty of adultery.

The Tudors writers: We agree.

Historians: Oh, good!

The Tudors writers: Because two of the men she was accused of sleeping with were actually sleeping with each others.

Historians: ....

Historians: Well, I mean, homosexuality was often left out of the historical record, so it could be possible that--

The Tudors writers: And the other one was a Jesuit sent personally by the pope to assassinate Anne Boleyn.

Historians: Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Henry VIII (Compiègne, 1991): Reactions, Part I

No one voted on Tumblr but this won the Discord vote, so here we go!

period aesthetic porn

Lamb Pendant spotted on Area Spanish Ambassador

two bros chillin’ in the throne room five feet apart ‘cause they’re not gay

tfw you fall in love with Anne Boleyn

and tfw she sends you a love letter

“there is nothing my heart fears” tenors...

Area Bass Is Very Concerned For His Possible Boyfriend Because Henry VIII Is Also After Her

everyone is fed up with Henry, particularly given he’s executing a nobleman for no apparent reason???

but they have to shut up when he shows up, lest, you know, they also get murdered

he looks so much like the genuine article it’s uncanny good work designers and artists

and this is a marvelous aria

Catherine ships Anne and Don Gomez

she’s a good egg

and also she needs hugs

you’re just coping out in order to be able to marry Anne Boleyn we all know this

him going on about not having a son reminds me of the time in 9th grade medieval European history class when the teacher held a year-long, grade-wide meme war and the winner was the person who came up with a meme that had “tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no heir” on a portrait of Henry VIII

Catherine is a Smart Soprano and sees right through him

tfw you make your main squeeze your wife’s new maid of honor (and also a marquise)

“my heart is full of senseless dreams...” same, girl

this funeral march thing is so cool

Area Mezzo Has A Vision (possibly of her own death? it’s not really clear)

anyway, be VERY afraid

this kind of ensemble is EXACTLY how to end an act

tenors claiming their significant others cheated on them, what’s new

ladies singing about how pretty their leader and nature and such are...those are always welcome

massive awkward levels

“dude wtf no I still love you”

this just got even more awkward also Henry just sent Don Gomez out

“please be my mistress”

“how about nope”

Anne is serving some Looks

she’s starting to reconsider her life choices

“what if I divorced my wife and made you queen???”

interesting to bring back the lighting from Anne possibly having a vision of her own death when he proposes

she can’t resist that argument

girl’s moving up in the world and has a great aria to go with it

“I know there’s something between you and my husband so knock. it. off.”

“hey I didn’t ask for this”

we love a good old-fashioned woman-to-woman operatic confrontation

“your husband is macking on me deal with it”

“Anne, you have this time, but I have eternity!” MIC DROP

“ladies please stop fighting over which of you was gonna be queen I haven’t even made anything official yet”

‘hey the Papal legate is here’

‘why just the legate’

‘uh...*checks notes* the Pope has been unavoidably detained in Rome’

‘with what?’

‘uh...*checks notes* he apparently commissioned some new art from this sculptor guy and there’s a bunch of Drama over it and someday someone’s gonna write an opera about that too’

[the joke, because I made this solely for my own pleasure: this is a reference to Hector Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini, which takes place around the same time as this opera. the Pope referenced in this opera (Pope Clement VII) is the same one who appears as a principal character in the Berlioz opera.]

‘Catherine he may be the incarnation of the Pope here but that is exactly why I will not pay him homage’

‘okay y’all let’s go party and celebrate my main squeeze’

this is cool

it’s a nice ballet but it really has basically nothing to do with the main plot

(apparently the act was supposed to end with an octet but it got cut before the premiere and it was not performed in the context of the full opera until a 2019 concert performance so fail whale)

anyway things are heating up!

most of my followers still don’t know what Six is and I’m sure are waiting for me to get over it and I can just feel the disappointment when I change my icon/header from one pic of Aimie, Maiya, and Nat to a different picture of Aimie, Maiya, and Nat, because yall don’t even know who Aimie, Maiya, and Nat are and were hoping I’d be back on some other bullshit by now
