Think of it as a Midsomer Murders/Clue style thing.

I don��t have an answer for who the victim is. You can choose anyone you want, for the victim.

Richard Neville by William Dobson

oil on canvas, circa 1643 (NPG).

Two major thoughts here are: oooooh is that a wheel-lock pistol? And for this man being a Royalist, he has that mullet-thing going on with short bangs and layers that I associate with Puritans (who also had lots of hair, ignore the interpretations of 19th century artists who take "roundhead" too far).

Consider the story of Charles II's escape from Parliamentary forces, which he loved to recount. As part of his disguise, his hair was cut "leaving it short on top but long at the sides." ("My liege, no one will recognise you with this bummy Puritan haircut. Lmao.")

And we are back with more historical hypothetical polls, this time it is:

English monarchs and nobles round two!

I am so excited to see who you choose this time.

Most of these are from periods of time I’m interested in. So a lot of it is mediaeval and Tudor. There will be more rounds so if you have any figures you really want to see a certain figure in a poll, please submit it.

I spend a good hour or so checking the fanfiction of the people I put in my polls first just to see what it’s like. I know I shouldn’t be surprised with fanfiction at this point but some of the stuff, I swear.

LIKE WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A WWE CROSSOVER WITH THE TUDORS?!!

Why is there Vince McMahon fanfiction? Just why? Especially considering the stuff going on with Vince McMahon right now.

Made what is undoubtedly the nerdiest fanvid I've ever done (see the end), featuring The White Queen and The White Princess.

I've just started watching the White Queen, while I like it, I do have opinions on Edward and Warwick's relationship. Basically, I can understand Edward marrying Elizabeth over Brona and I support that. But I also see why Warwick is mad at everything that happens after. Warwick is essentially attempting to keep the kingdom together, and he has been the one behind treaties and securing Edward's place on the throne. He fought with Edward with this idea that the two would work together but when Edward himself started to favor the Rivers family more - I can see why Warwick would be upset. Mainly, what I am speaking about is refusing to have his daughters married to Richard and Goerge - that made no sense to me, and then making a treaty with the Burgandy rather than the French. I do understand loyalty to the Rivers, especially since they are the royal family. But while I get the main idea was for Warwick to be seen as a scheming villain which...don't get me wrong, he was nasty for how he treated Elizabeth and what he did to her father and brother...I also feel that at a point, before he became power hungry, he was more concerned with keeping treaties and alliances rather than power. It's like he did at the end of the day just want to strengthen the kingdom and I feel Edward didn't get that.

This isn't to excuse the villain he became and his clear hatred toward Elizabeth, or the fact that he's a shit dad. I don't fault Elizabeth for not trusting him especially since she so many times attempted to extend the olive branch, and I do find her to be the ultimate victim to Edward's stupidity and Warwick's grasp for power.
