"Monarchy can easily be 'debunked', but watch the faces, mark well the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut -- whom no rumor of the polyphony, the dance, can reach �� men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch." - C.S. Lewis

Disney is all about monarchism: star wars edition

This is why they had to rewrite reys backstory between films 8 & 9.

And why they keep going back to bloodline based force rather than accessible to anyone.

And why the Mandalorains are ruled by monarch in the Star Was DU.

It is to reinforce the ideology of monarchism. The idea that some people get to have special treatment because of their bloodline.

You're probably gonan get to this question long after it's relevant, if ever, but it's worth the wait to hear your take, assuming you'll believe me I'm asking in good faith-is all the blame the queen gets in the light of her death, for the various shitty things Britain has done, justified (at least some of it pretty much has to be), or is fair to say most of it akin to "blaming Obama for Vietnam, if he had little to no power to begin with"?

This is a super good question and i'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you. But when it come to the guilt or innocence of the Queen, I think you should think about the Position of Queen of England as a Symbol, and the individual personality of Elizabeth II

As an office, the Monarchy symbolically represents the Empire, all actions are taken in the name of the Monarch and the legal system is justified by the approval of the Monarch, direct or indirect the monarchy is dipped in blood as is everything else in the British Empire. At no point did the Monarchy really reckon with the Empire they ruled over, in fact under Elizabeth's reign, there was a consorted effort to rewrite the legacy of the British Empire and cover up its crimes. So as a symbol of Britain, Elizabeth deserves scorn

As an individual, Elizabeth II is probably the best monarch Britain had, in that she gave up the last vestiges of royal power and turned it over to the Parliament, I understand why she was so popular. Hopefully with her gone, Charles I can be the last monarch

OCCUPATION: nobility.

FACECLAIM: rufus sewell.

weak, naive, soft headed - for years now, those are the words people use to speak of you, and your rule. you were never seen as a strong king, and you know they’re right. as the revolution stroke, you’re lost. with no idea what to do to save yourself, and not enough cunning to win, you wait, hoping the revolution wil somehow end as quickly as it started.

CONNECTIONS:

+ THE QUEEN – wife.

+ THE DAUPHIN, THE SPARE, THE PRINCESS – children.

+ THE COLLABORATOR – younger sibling.

+ THE INSIDER – confidant, trust.

the character is currently played by ANGE ( 30+. est. she / her. ).

I MEAN but wouldn't that be an incredible isekai series??

a modern princess whose job is basically just being a beautiful figurehead

grows bored with her vapid role in life and withdraws from society, riddled with ennui

only to fall into a fantasy realm where princesses have real political power

as well as important responsibilities that her subjects depend upon

and at first it's a comedy of errors as she realizes that none of her training prepared her for this

but then she grows as a person and applies herself to learning how to guide and guard this kingdom

and becomes the powerful and just princess she was always meant to be

...so I guess apparently my new favorite conspiracy theory is that kate's shoujo manga just underwent a MASSIVE genre switch.

WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS TROUBLESOME PRIEST ROMAN?

When Caesar arrived in pursuit on the third day, Theodotus showed him Pompey's head and ring, but Caesar was offended and wept.

-Liv. Per. 112.4

the title quotation is referring to the famous quote associated with the henry II-thomas becket conflict. the uhhhhh. the themes match, somewhat. feels the same, in some kind of way. anyway, fucking RIP to caesar and pompey. it's gotta be lonely, to start off as three, and then two, and even locked in conflict, there's a familiarity of being known that you're never going to have again. ah, what loss. what tragedy. etc etc etc.

people acting like its some terrible shame that anyone was speculating about Kate Middleton's whereabouts now we know its cancer. Oh shame for ever making fun of shitty photoshop jobs, don't you know she has cancer??

Nah mate. She married into a rich and powerful family thats been leeching of the British public and wider world for decades, centuries even. She is going to be given top treatment, probably at the expense of others. Hell despite the cock up they kept her out of the public eye for months so that's not a big stress either.

I'm sure it sucks for her and her rich spawn. I might even say I feel bad for the younger kids. I dont wish cancer on anyone but Charles etc, etc.

But lets not act like she's some poor single mother waiting on the NHS. Struggling on benefits or struggling to work while on chemo. Trying to feed her kids during cost of living crisis. Trying to just find time to be with them.

Kate has all the money in the world, her kids are in top schools with lots of rich relatives. They could easily be taken out of school and taught by top tutors to be more flexible with her health. She will likely be fine. And even if she isn't? She'll have had the best chance out of anyone. She would have the most comfort possible and people around her until the end.

So no. I literally do not care. I have no guilt or grief over memeing the every loving fuck out of a PR cockup by a bunch of royal leeches. To act like I should is absolute bollocks.
