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.
#(the quote is by Richard Woodville in his deathbed will; he was the last of the Woodville brothers to die)#elizabeth woodville#woodvilles#my post#to be clear I am not arguing that the death of an English gentry family name is some kind of giant tragedy (it absolutely the fuck is not)#I'm trying to put it into perspective with regards to what Elizabeth may have felt because we know her family DID feel this way#writing this kinda reminded me of how I am just not fond at all about the way Elizabeth's experiences in 1483-85 are written about#and the way lots so many of the unprecedentedly horrifying aspects are overlooked or treated so casually:#the seizure and murder of two MINOR sons and the illegal execution of another;#her sheer vulnerability in every way compared to all her queenly predecessors; how she was harassed by 'dire threats' for months;#how she had 5 very young daughters with her to look after at the time (Bridget and Katherine were literally 3 and 4 years old);#how unprecedented Richard's treatment of her was: EW was the first queen of england to be officially declared an adulteress;#and the first and ONLY queen to be officially accused of witchcraft#(Joan of Navarre was accused of her treason; she was never explicitly accused of witchcraft on an official level like EW was)#the first crowned queen of england to have her marriage annulled; and the first queen to have her children officially bastardized#what former queens endured through rumors* were turned into horrifying realities for her.#(I'm not trying to downplay the nightmare of that but this was fundamentally on a different level altogether)#nor did Elizabeth get a trial or appeal to the church. like I cannot emphasize this enough: this was not normal for queens#and not normal for depositions. ultimately what Richard did *was* unprecedented#and of course let's not forget that Elizabeth had literally just been unexpectedly widowed like 20 days before everything happened#I really don't feel like any of this is emphasized as much as it should be?#apart from the horrifying death of her sons - but most modern books never call it murder they just write that they 'disappeared'#and emphasize that ACTUALLY we don't know what happened to them (this includes Arlene Okerlund)#rather than allowing her to have that grief (at the very least)#more time is spent dealing with accusations that she was a heartless bitch or inconsistent intriguer for making a deal with Richard instead#it also feels like a waste because there's a lot that can be analyzed about queenship and R3's usurpation if this is ever explored properly#anyway - it's kinda sad that even after Henry won and her daughter became queen EW didn't really get a break#her family kept dying one by one and the Woodville name was extinguished. and she lived to see it#it's kinda heartbreaking - it was such a dramatic rise and such a slow haunting fall#makes for a great story tho

Okay but can we talk about how soft Hannibal was with Abigail in 3x09 ?? "I couldn't bear to take your fingers, not even one. They're so lovely." Say what you will about the happy murder family, but, Hannibal actually showed such potential to be a loving father (albeit serial killing and all,,,)

Warnings: Murder

Y/N went off to school the next day. And immediately, the others jumped into their plans of making her twelfth birthday extra special. 
Thor had come down from Asgard, bringing with him Asgardian liquor. Loki had put a hand over his face in disappointment while Natasha and Sam had laughed their asses off. 
"You oaf!" Loki shouted, waving his hands dramatically like the diva he was. "You cannot give that little girl Asgardian liquor! The drinking age is twenty-one and she can't drink that stuff!" 
"I did not know. We always drank it on our twelfth birthday." Thor said, looking disappointed. He brightened up almost immediately. "I know! I shall go and get her pop tarts!" 
He ran off and Loki had to race after him, screaming for Thor to stop because you still had a humongous stash of pop tarts from Christmas from him. 
Natasha swiped the liquor as the two Gods exited the Compound. "Excellent," she said, and hid it behind some cups. 
Pietro entered the room at that moment, shaking his head, wiping dirt off of his hair into the trash can. 
"What the heck did you do?" Sam questioned, looking at Pietro with a questioning look. 
"I was speeding along the side of the Compound and one of the clods of dirt that the gardener was shoveling hit me in the face. It was unintentional, he didn't know I was going to end up there at that time." Pietro said, shaking his head like a dog. 
"He's digging?" Nat asked in surprise. 
"I think he's putting in trees." Pietro shrugged, wiping more dirt off of him. "The holes are to deep for flowers." 
"Yeah, cause you barely even dig for flowers." Sam rolled his eyes. "He could be putting in bushes too. And I think Tony said he'd been wanting to put fruit trees in for some time now. That must be what they are." 
"OH yeah." Nat said with a nod. "I forgot about that. What kind of fruit?" 
"I think he said apples." Sam said, trying to remember, "Not sure." 
"Either way," Nat said in a friendly way, "Probably should go take a shower Piet. I don't think you're going to get all the mud out by shaking your head like a dog." 
He rolled his eyes, but went off for a shower and then Nat and Sam went to make Y/N's cake. 
~
Y/N skipped home, excited. She couldn't believe that she was already twelve! It had been such a fun day in school too! She had handed out cup cakes to all of her classmates and then played kickball during recess. And they'd learned more about the moons of different planets in science! Not to mention, they'd studied Mr. Rogers and Teddy in history!
But now she couldn't wait to get home and be with her family for her birthday. She was really hoping that they had gotten her a dog to play with. 
She couldn't wait to see Uncle Thor and hold his hammer. And Uncle Strange had been teaching her how to use a sling ring and make orange portals. Plus, she hadn't seen Uncle Strange in almost four months!
"Hey Missy." Mr. Gates greeted her. She could see that he had dug a very large hole on the side of the compound, but he wasn't over there anymore. Today, he was greeting her at the sidewalk. 
"Hello Mr. Gates!" She said, beaming. "How is the gardening today?" 
"Very good." He said joyfully. "Hey do you like baby animals?" 
"Yes!" She squealed. 
"Well, I've got some bird eggs that are hatching right now! Do you want to come and see them?" 
"Yes, please!' She said. 
"Alright, come with me." He said, holding his hand out. She took it eagerly and let him lead her over to where his house was, set back on the property near the forest edge. 
"Now," He dropped his voice to a soft whisper. "Approach the nest over there carefully and quietly. You don't want to frighten them after they've just been born." 
Y/N crept quietly over to where the nest was sitting in a patch of sunlight on the table. There were four beautiful robin blue eggs in the nest, and one of them had deep cracks going down it. She was enthralled, so she never even noticed Mr. Gates creeping up behind her. 
And she certainly didn't see it coming, when he brought the shovel down on her head.

Lockwood & Co season 2
Picture this: We open at the corner shop a newspaper article about one of Lockwood & Co's cases (personal favourite Mrs Barrets tomb just for the how high did you three jump? and the amount of times it gets referenced in the books) and their new found popularity. George comes into frame and adds it to his basket. Cut to Portland Row and the Skull pulses with light unnoticed as Lockwood and Lucy set the table for a celebratory breakfast (I want the season to be bookended by the true celebratory breakfast and the angsty one at the end where Lucy is all withdrawn and annouces she's leaving). They watch the news and their case get brought up again with huge grins and then they get the call for the Lavender Lodge case whilst one takes the call, the Skull starts speaking "death is in life, lifes in death" amongst some mocking teasing Lucy and the guys for missing him. The call is finished they do the debrief and research (I'd imagine it being booked for next week? month not sure yet but time between the Skull's recovery and the case... maybe the run up to the case?)
They bring the skull along and it plays out as we expect with a few less ghosts (as you know we have a budget here) great soundtrack of course.

I’m not sure yet what people on QSMP want to candidate for the election but to those saying Wilbur should start, I have to point something out
q!Wilbur isn’t power-hungry and doesn’t care about the people on the island. He’s a protective cottagecore dad whose little daughter is the only thing that matters to him. He won’t go crazy over the election, the only thing that matters is his little cozy life in Tallulah Towers
The only way I see q!Wilbur go batshit crazy the way we’ve seen Wilbur characters go before is if someone would destroy his little cozy life with Tallulah and push him over the edge...

I think the very moment I realised that I was obsessed with Ned when I first watched got was when he killed Lady. The way he wouldn't let anyone else do it because she was from the north💔
