Once we get to Lerwick, a few of us plan to test the achievements of the local distillery.

Cavendish the bad captain.

I will not stop saying that Sam did so good In the North Water.

A compilation of this Rat’s psychotic moments <3

Michael Cavendish was such a great role for Sam Spruell. He got to step out of being typecast as 'gay and scary' and got to play 'gay and stupid' instead.

Cardinal Wolsey: A Life In 9 Artworks

I won't lie I love history and I have been re-watching a lot of the Tudors which brought on the inspiration for this blog.

So Cardinal Wolsey’s life, marked by immense power and ultimate downfall, has inspired numerous artworks.

These pieces offer a visual chronicle of his journey from glory to despair, allowing modern viewers to witness pivotal moments of his life.

This artwork marks Wolsey’s early rise, depicting his procession to Westminster Hall in 1515 when he became a cardinal. Gilbert, fascinated by Wolsey, frequently revisited his life in art, capturing significant moments. In this piece, Wolsey holds a pomander, reflecting his historical concern with disease prevention.

This painting highlights the close relationship between Wolsey and King Henry VIII. The Cardinal appears focused and diligent beside a relaxed and trusting Henry, illustrating their bond during Wolsey's height of influence.

This detailed artwork portrays the grand summit between England and France in 1520, organized by Wolsey. Though the scene is a composite, it captures the event’s opulence. Wolsey, depicted modestly beside King Henry, orchestrated this massive and ultimately politically futile event.

This piece illustrates the intense rivalry between Wolsey and Buckingham, culminating in the Duke’s execution in 1521. Gilbert captures their mutual animosity in a chance encounter, with expressive faces revealing their deep-seated hatred.

Lucas’s painting reflects Wolsey’s fall from grace. Depicted with King Henry and Thomas Cramner, Wolsey’s sorrow is palpable as he faces his downfall, highlighted by the ominous presence of a raven, symbolizing his imminent demise.

A satirical take on Wolsey’s forced resignation in 1529, this drawing shows him tearfully handing over the Great Seal. Originally intended for humour, it underscores the poignancy of his loss of power and favour with the King.

Depicting Wolsey’s final moments in 1530, this engraving shows him surrounded by loyal companions at Leicester Abbey. Cavendish, his faithful servant, is depicted weeping at his side, highlighting the Cardinal’s tragic end.

This simple sketch from Wolsey’s biography captures his solemn burial at Leicester Abbey. Despite the crude execution, it serves as a historical record of his final resting place, though its exact location remains a mystery.

In this compilation of eminent British figures, Wolsey is honoured alongside historical greats. Created 150 years after his death, this miniature portrayal underscores his lasting significance in English history.

These nine artworks encapsulate Cardinal Wolsey’s dramatic life, from his meteoric rise to his tragic fall, immortalizing his legacy in vivid detail. I honestly find him a fascinating character of history.

BONUS!

Benjamin and the Paper

Word Count: 1040 AO3 Link Benjamin learns about the events surrounding the launch of the Brick Satellite, and regrets.

Benjamin finds out from the newspaper.

(That’s not entirely true. He finds out when a new, brilliant star appears in the sky, because he knows only two people with the will and the imagination to shift the heavens themselves. He looks at the new guiding light over head and thinks, My God, they did it.)

Benjamin finds out about their deaths from the newspaper. Because of course he does. He can think of no person the ink loves more than the Stratford twins. Of course it cradles their bodies close to its chest, gently brings them home to rest in New York City.

“Extra! Extra! Death in British Guiana, local heroes killed in military coup!”

Benjamin stops so suddenly, three different people run into him. “Sorry, excuse me,” he says, frantically looking around for the paper boy he’d heard yelling. He beelines towards him, shoving what is certainly too much money into the kid’s hand as he snatches the paper away from him. He frantically scours the paper, looking for the story the boy was yelling about.

Maybe it’s not them, Benjamin thinks, feeling slightly hysterical. It could be about anyone, you can’t throw a rock in New York City without hitting a local celebrity. Breathing has gotten harder, the world spins around him. But he can’t stop reading, he needs to know-

Herschel and Hanover, along with Margaret Cavendish and Samuel and Rose Stratford, are presumed deceased.

Benjamin’s knees give out, and he grips desperately to a lamp post to keep from falling.

Samuel and Rose Stratford, are presumed deceased.

Many times, people say they’ve forgotten the last words they’ve said to a departed loved one. They can only hope it was a casual display of love, or, at worst, a mundane conversation with no bearing on their lives or relationship.

Benjamin knows exactly what his last words to Sam and Rose were, despite how hard he tries to forget.

Enjoy the present before its past. 

Benjamin wishes he’d taken his own advice.

“Mister, are you okay?” The newsie asks, looking like he is afraid Benjamin is going to keel over next to him. Benjamin isn’t sure he answers. He opens his mouth, but he doesn’t think any sound comes out. Instead, he turns away and begins walking. 

In the three months since Benjamin ended both his career and his friendship with the Stratfords in an incredibly public spectacle, he has done a lot of thinking. For the first month, he stewed in a blinding, hazy anger, interspersed with far too much whiskey. By the second month, he realized how empty his life felt without the Stratfords in it, and hated himself for even considering it. Recently, he’s just missed them.

(He’d been trying to figure out if there was a way he could send them a letter. He had no idea where to send it, much less whether Sam and Rose would actually read it. He supposes it doesn’t matter now.)

When his feet stop, he realizes he has reached the Stratford Family Paper Stand. 

“You’ll always find a Stratford there!” Sam had once told him, like a reassurance. Like a North Star for Benjamin to follow if he ever lost them.

It is boarded up now, a sign over the door reading “Closed Until Further Notice.” Already, flowers line the walls, memorials for the heroes who told the world about life on the moon. He sees a paper with what could only be a child's drawing of a lunar buffalo. He remembers the way Rose and Sam had cackled when they told him about it, when they pulled this creature from thin air and made it real, preserved in ink before his very eyes. They created life with the dedication of gods and the whimsy of children.

The Paper Stand feels dead without them. There is nothing for him or anyone here. Not anymore. 

He keeps walking. 

It is dark when he finally gets to the office for the Sun.

He drifts forward toward the yellow light in the window. Because, surely, if looks in the window, he will see Sam, golden and brilliant in the lamp light, desperately scribbling in his notebook. He’ll see Rose, fingers blackened with ink from typesetting, the wrinkles in her furrowed brow like the lines of a constellation. He may have been an editor for the Sun, but the Stratfords were truly the ones Benjamin revolved around. As much as he likes to pretend the Lunar Hoax was a plot he got caught up in, he still remembers the thrill that ran through him as he put the first “Great Astronomical Discoveries” into type. He remembers being so excited for Rose and Sam’s reactions the next day. He remembers feeling positively giddy when they had beamed at him, once they saw he ran their story.

(When did that change? When did he decide their joy wasn’t enough?)

He feels adrift, a planet out of orbit. For as long as he can remember, his life has centered around the Stratfords, twin stars that tugged him into their gravity, be it as a friend, an enemy, or a man desperate to reconnect. What is his path, in a world without them?

He isn’t sure.

The door opens next to him, and Benjamin heart soars, because it’s them, it’s got to be them, it was just another hoax, they are back and really, shouldn’t Benjamin know better-

Chester Thomas stands, outlined in the doorframe. He looks worse than Benjamin has ever seen him, jacket off, sleeves rolled up, bottle of bourbon held loosely in his hand.

“What do you want?” He asks, voice curt and monotone. And Benjamin is going to leave, going to apologize and go about his business. Chester Thomas is the last person he wants to talk to right now, he doesn’t think his ego can take it. He fully plans to go home and stare at the ceiling of his bedroom until it is an acceptable time for him to get up again. He is going to leave, really.

So even he’s surprised when he says, “I didn’t know where else to go.”

Chester sighs, and steps to the side. “Come on in.”

And, God help him, Benjamin does.

Choose your own And-venture*

So when my Andrew crush was revived, I realized how little of his filmography I’ve actually seen… or even heard of? I really had no idea where to start, but now that I've been making my way through it, here are some notes that hopefully help you find the Andrew you’re looking for! (I will keep updating as I watch more!)

*🙈 I am so sorry--once this entered my brain, it became the only title.

(We all know the gist of Spider-Man and The Social Network, right?)

Big “precious bean” energy: 

Boy A (2007)

🏆 Won a best actor BAFTA!

Aesthetic: Sooo young and bashful/endearing

Plays: Jack Burridge, a boy who is starting over after years in juvenile detention.

Love story?: Yes, and it makes me all 🥹🥹🥹.

⚠️ Childhood stuff can be intense.

Would I rewatch? 👍 (I already have lol)

Never Let Me Go (2010)

Aesthetic: Shaggy hair to shaved head

Plays: Tommy D., a young man living in a wild dystopian England. 

Love story?: More like love triangle! 

👎 The characters are kids at first, so Andrew isn’t in it the whole time.

Would I rewatch? 👍 (and I'm currently reading the book because I found the movie so interesting!)

Promising college student ("non-Eduardo Saverin" division):

Lions for Lambs (2007)

First feature film!

Aesthetic: Cute enough frat boy in a hideous shirt.

Plays: Todd Hayes, a privileged, disaffected yet apparently promising college student.

Love story?: No

👍 Despite the ridiculously famous names in the cast, Andrew has one of the leading roles!

Would I rewatch? 🤔 Maybe? It’s not great, but Andrew does manage to make Todd kind of interesting. (Or at least not totally one-note.)

Portrayals of real people

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

⭐️Oscar nom #1

Aesthetic: 1940s country bumpkin to blood-covered army medic

Plays: Desmond Doss, a “conscientious cooperator” in WWII.

Love story?: Yes and it’s cute 

⚠️ Violence (In a war movie?! What are the odds!)

Would I rewatch? 🤔 Only the beginning (pre-war) because I could not handle Andrew in peril. (And I really liked The Pacific, so I did not expect to be so freaked out!)

Breathe (2017)

Aesthetic: ‘50s sportsman/adventurer/“tea broker”

Plays: Robin Cavendish, who lived for decades on a respirator after contracting polio (then a death sentence)

Love story?: Yes, and it’s lovely and inspiring and all the things. 🥹(I’m not entirely sure why they are so in love, because the movie really speeds through everything pre-polio, but Andrew and Claire Foy do sell it.)

⚠️ Full disclosure, I did cry at this one.

Would I rewatch? 👍

Weird with a side of conspiracy theory/mystery

Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1974 (2009)

Aesthetic: All in on the ’70s—long hair, sideburns, bellbottoms, etc.

Character: Eddie, a young reporter who uncovers shady goings-on.

Love story?: Kind of?

⚠️Nudity

⚠️ Violence

Would I rewatch? 👎 Just could not get into it--didn’t like his character, found the story to be meh/confusing....

Under the Silver Lake (2018)

Aesthetic: Stoner slacker in graphic tees and skinny jeans

Plays: Sam, an aimless L.A. 30-something who becomes obsessed with his neighbor’s disappearance

Love story?: Ehhh… kind of, I guess? Not formally, though.

⚠️Nudity (prob the most out of all of these?)

Would I rewatch? 👍 and this is not my type of movie at all. For as weird as it is, it's also... fun?

Rom-Dram

We Live in Time (2024)

Aesthetic: Clean-cut, sometimes bespectacled, lots of cozy sweaters 

Plays: Tobias, a sensitive and nerdy Weetabix salesman going through some major life upheaval.

Love story?: Yes, the movie revolves around it.

⚠️Nudity

Would I rewatch? 🤔 When I first saw it, hard no. (With these actors, my expectations were high. And the movie did not convince me that Almut and Tobias were actually a perfect match. 🙈) But I did love Tobias, so I would watch again for him. 👍
