"The newly widowed Elizabeth (Woodville) was exceptionally vulnerable. Several of the trustees responsible for her jointure refused to hand over the manors that were meant to sustain her in her widowhood. Moreover, her brother-in-law, Edward Grey, had seized estates that her son Thomas should have inherited from his paternal grandfather, while her mother-in-law’s new young husband, Sir John Bourchier, had prevailed on Lady Ferrers to settle her principal properties on them jointly for life, ensuring that Thomas would have to wait far longer for this inheritance too. Rivers and Scales were pardoned in July 1461 and swiftly moved into the Yorkist establishment, which perhaps explains the success of the chancery suits Elizabeth launched to regain her jointure. Her son’s inheritance proved harder to recover. By 1463, Rivers was often in (Edward IV's) company and on his council, but Elizabeth needed someone with much stronger influence over the King. She turned to a distant kinsman, William, Lord Hastings, the King’s chamberlain. Hastings drove a very hard bargain for his aid but it was probably amid these negotiations that the King’s desire for Elizabeth was kindled."
��� J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: the Knight's Widow", Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#Elizabeth really had terrible in-laws#And these people weren't even the worst of them - that particular award goes to Richard of Gloucester#As complicated as her first widowhood sounds it was a breeze compared to the literal nightmare she went through during her second.#Honestly though: part me wonders what Elizabeth's first marriage was like because we know absolutely nothing about it.#The marriage itself is a blank slate but the fact that her husband's parents & siblings were so indifferent and uncooperative#to her - and their own kid-grandchildren?? - after he died indicates that his family may have been rather dysfunctional imo?#Certainly they (or most of them) don't seem to have cared about the wellbeing or dignity of his young and newly widowed wife which#doesn't exactly suggest closeness or support during the marriage itself from their end.#Elizabeth doesn't mention John Gray in her deathbed will either though she mentions Edward IV. She may have thought it was#'inappropriate' to mention her first husband beside her significantly higher-ranked second husband...but she DOES mention her son by#her first marriage - which would have drawn attention to it anyway - alongside her royal daughter so that's unlikely to have been a reason.#Maybe it was simply the passage of time? She and John had been married for very few years and she lived such a different life after that#So it's possible that her first marriage simply seemed very distant and faraway to her.#Alternatively it may have simply been undivided affection for Edward IV (her husband of 19 years who she married for love)#which fits well into the relatively personal nature of her will.#Of course we don't actually know anything about any of this and this is all pure wild speculation on my end...but I'm curious.#It's really a shame how little we actually know about Elizabeth's life - made worse by the very limited primary records of Edward IV's#reign and the fact that his chamber records don't survive. And it's even more frustrating that this is so rarely actually acknowledged#by historians. I'd argue we know far more about the life & interests of most other 'prominent' women of the Wars of the Roses#(sans the Neville sisters) than we do about Elizabeth Woodville.

screaming into the void <3
#my best friends boyfriend (who i’ve also been friends with for years) is just. not himself rn#we think it’s a manic episode but we don’t really know but it’s. terrifying lowkey#he thinks he’s genuinely jesus and that he’s conquered time and that he and my bsf are adam and eve#he’s been sending my bsf liek hundreds of texts per day since tuesday but it got really really bad and incoherent yesterday#and i woke up this morning to see multiple texts from gcs he created w me in them#and he keeps being like ‘because it’s 6:20 this is true’ and like ‘i know that at 9 pm everyone is gonna understand’#and he’ll text like 5 times then send a sc of what he just texted like that proves something but it’s all nonsense#i’m just really really concerned cause he really needs help but i don’t know how to ensure that happens cause he’s 19. not a minor#he’s just. not him rn. he’s called my bsf multiple times yesterday when he HATES calling normally#he had his band and his mom over in his apartment yesterday cause my bsf called his mom and h went to his bands show but was visibly not ok#and he saw nothing weird about it even tho he hates having ppl over normally and never without warning#and you can’t get him to see logic because everything you say he just twists around to work for him#to be clear it was not this bad when it started. when it started it seemed like normally maybe slightly out there conclusions he was drawing#but it just got worse and worse like exponential decay and really bad yesterday#he also didn’t sleep at all yesterday night and idk if he slept tonight#i know his mom took his phone at one point but he texted me and gcs w me in it starting at like 6:20 this morning#and my bsf and i and friends are on a trip out of state rn but we’re leaving today and i don’t wanna wake her up until i have to because#this is literally hell for her. but it’s just. scary. i don’t know what to do. i don’t think there’s any good options really for me rn#i want to warn ppl and try to explain he’s Not Him rn so they don’t get concerned but who knows if they’ll understand what i’m trying to say#i know it’s not the end of the world but it really feels like the end of my world as i know it if that makes sense#and my bsf lives with him in an apartment near their college and they just signed the lease for the next year#but she can’t stay there with him alone. not until he gets help. we’re all too scared it’s going in the directon where he thinks it’s better#for ppl to go to the afterlife. which like he never would normally. but he’s Not Him and so like. who knows#he keeps talking about all these different dimensions and how you need to travel to the 7th dimension to understand#my bsf was crying yesterday and she called her mom to explain and she keeps saying that she just wants her jake back it’s really scary#cause he will probably never be the same again. he’ll be similar but different but she wants his comfort but he’s Not Him. and can’t give it#i just. really want this to get better but it’s so hard to see that happening rn

fell down a rabbit hole today bc I woke up remembering I was in high school in 2018-2019’s nhl season and I have remembered that:
Robert Thomas in his rookie season on the blues at 19 years old was living with Keith “Big Walt” Tkachuk
Thommer and the blues had the last place to Stanley cup champion season that same year
both of the lesser tkachuk brothers (they have all made the joke that he’s the favorite son we can make this bit) were in the nhl by then, Brady was like. First or second season.
which means that year Taryn was the last other kid in the house, and she was destroying *my* (but also all other) school’s field hockey team(s) (they were state champs in 2018 I’m pretty sure)
the brothers returned home like directly after their season ended.
Sitcom ass house in St. Louis county
#sports posting#kazoo noises#st louis blues#stl blues#robert thomas#Hockey posting#No seriously CAN YOU IMAGINE#you are Keith tkachuk. You have basically become a st louisan even tho you no longer play there. Ur daughter was born here#Ur boys went to school here. U have frequently lent a guest room to the younger guys on the hockey team#Ur former team is having the WORST time and you acquired their rookie who YOU KNOW is gonna be like the face of this fucking franchise#(Fr Keith has been banging that drum since before we made 18-19 playoffs)#Amidst all of this both your boys are in the wastes of Canada and your baby daughter is a junior in high school#Granted. She’s making the other Catholic school teams lives miserable (go her!) but being a junior in high school is still being a junior#In high school. You also have the bonus nineteen year old son on the hockey team. Mustn’t forget#And then ur daughter 1) makes the stat chart on local news website for field hockey look simply ridiculous (she was a NIGHTMARE this year#Like I hung out with the soccer and track kids more but I Knew About Her)#And then 2) ur boys seasons end and they come home BUT THE BONUS SON IS IN THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS#dude. Keith and Chantal must have been so fucking annoying that entire year#I would not ever let it go.

I need to stop writing while I'm sick because now I'm having serious doubts about half of the central plot of herald
#what the fuck do i do with nathaniel#like. the first half of herald is solid i really like it. its got some kickass scenes in there#as is the second half of the middle. but the rest of it--#what the fuck is nathaniel DOING#does he have a purpose#alex james leo ronald mary. ive got all their characters down decently well.#even donovan! who is dead and doesnt show up but is there in spirit#amelia is. getting there i have her character mostly down. not completely but its decently close#but nathaniel!!!! what the fuck is he doing! what is his purpose in life!#why does he exist!!#hmmm#maybe i bump up the ekker trial a few years#from like 1938 to 1940 or 41#june of 41 might work well actually#because any skepticism about the case would fly out the window by december#and then... james uncle would have retired shortly thereafter#which would make more sense cause why was james in charge of the whole newspaper when he was 22#pushing it to 24 or 25 would make more sense#still young but. believable#but then alex!!! what to do about alex!!! she cant be younger im not making her younger she needs to be 31#but does that mean shes only been working at herald for 7 years??#unless...#what if she worked at a different paper. not the ladies magazine smth between that and herald#and she was a court reporter for that case. that explains her inital interest in it#that'd make nathaniel what. 19? that works i can work with that#yeah i can. hmmm. i can ABSOLUTELY work with that#wip: herald at dawn

kinda surreal to watch my friends who are younger than me getting married and having kids meanwhile i haven't ever been in love
#to be fair my friends are not examples of what i want in my life#the ones who just had a baby should not have gotten married tbh and probably the baby wont help things#the ones who srebgetting married on tuesday definitely should not do that but oh well#they're all really young too the oldest of these four people just turned 22#she got married at 20#her husband was 19#the other two are 21 and 18 getting married this week#i would not want to be them in a million years#i would like to get married someday but not until ive known the person a long time#so im not jealous of them bc i think they're all making mistakes rushing into things really fast way too young#but at the same time i cant even relate to what they're feeling bc i've never been in love#but the whole thing feels very fake feels very kids playing pretend at being grownups only its real people in their 20s get married#that's a thing that's considered normal

sometimes I feel like there's a narrative on here that like. people who work and live not with their parents in their 20s are somehow privileged and its really annoying as someone with 0 family and 0 built in support system lol
#this has nothing to do with the previous post i was just reminded of some unrelated posts I've seen#like i get what people mean but i really dont consider it a privilege to have to graduate at 16 and immediately start working to pay rent#causing a severe worsening of ny physical and mental state so that i can afford to eat#and i would just like to say for the record that id never judge someone for living with their parents because im so envious lmao#just like. of the idea of having parents that would take care of you. ive always been so fascinated by that#because my sister got married at 19 to get out of the house and then depended on her husband bc she also has trouble#working due to disability. were both physically and mentally disabled so we have that in common lol#and then she had to contend with becoming entirely dependent on a man who then had incredible power over her#and now theyre divorced and she has to try to figure out how to do all this stiff at 33 that our mother never taught us#and that ive figured out on my own over the past 7 years. and i just think damn i wish we had family lol#like maybe if we even had 1 relative who cared enough to like. check in with us even?? let alone help#thats always just seemed really incredible to me. and ill never really be able to wrap my head around it

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!
2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr
3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!
overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!
#aritalks#i did cry a little bit when i first woke up because i dont really know what to do about work and also i hate not having a car i can use#not only because of the work aspect but also getting my license when i was 18 gave me a freedom i didn’t have before#and i don’t like having to rely on other people just to like go to the fucking store or something yk#but then my best friend/roommate messaged me happy birthday and i was like fuck it! today is going to be a good day!#the stressful uncertainties can wait until tomorrow#also one of my best friends who hasn’t said happy birthday to me the past two years#(not intentionally im p sure they were just busy on my birthdays the past two years#and then had that moment of ‘oh shit i didnt send a message fuck i think its too late now’ which i totally get bc anxiety things yk)#was one of the first people to message me happy birthday!!#i’m also hoping to still be able to go see my mom and then stay the night at my dads tonight#so i can see both my parents and also my baby siblings for my birthday#my dads working today but after he texted happy birthday i sent him a text asking if he thinks we could still make it work#my mom is asleep still i think (she called me at midnight and left a voicemail singing happy birthday!! but her sleep schedule has been all#over the place recently so i’m waiting until 11:30 to call her which is in like 30 mins)#but she said something yesterday about driving out to me to give me a hug and also bring me my diabetes stuff that got delivered#(her house is my mailing address because i know it’s not going to change bc it’s my great grandparents house that she’s partially inhereting#when my great grandpa dies but since i have moved out of my dads my address has changed twice and i didnt have a mailbox at my last place so#just for the sake of consistency and not having to worry about important shit getting sent to the wrong address i’ve had her house as my#mailing address since i moved out of my dads at 19)#so i think i’m gonna ask her if she can just pick me up instead so i can go to her house w her and hang out with her#and hopefully my dad will be able to at least stop by with my siblings so i can see them too#i’d like to stay the night with them but if we can’t make it happen then i can also stay the night w my mom and hopefully tomorrow figure#out the car situation. might have to rent a car for a week if i can afford it? best case scenario is my moms car can be fixed but i still#dont know whats wrong with it ik there are two potential problems and one is fixable the other is not#the fixable one would cost like $150-$400 to fix depending on if we get a used part or a new one#if its $150-$200 ish i can probably afford to pay for the whole thing or at least most of it#but if its more than that hopefully my dad or one of my family members can help#and i can just pay them back in like $50 increments with my next few paychecks#just realized i said i wouldnt worry abt the car thing today and also i think im at tag limit to i’ll stop now lmao xoxo gossip girl ❤️

I’ve been having a rough few days, but I’ve been feeling a bit better so I decided to make some lil thingies for some spiraling upwards kitties :3
#keese draws#warrior cats oc#spiraling upwards#I’ve posted art of ratstar and pigeonbillow before but the other three I haven’t I think#but yeah these are some more of the minkclan founders#and by that I mean two of them are and one of them was a kitten at the time#lightning is haveniris’ mom but she didn’t trust herself to raise him so her clanmates sort of collectively raised him#and by that I mean mostly pigeon and two other old ppl that aren’t included here#light did end up opening up to him more and acting as more of a mom after he chose to become a medic tho#the two have a complicated relationship for sure but they still care abt each other a lot#oh yeah and literally all of these guys are dead by the time murtle rolls around except for haven#pigeon died about two years before the other two and raincinder has been dead since before minkclan was properly founded#which is unsurprising given she’s such an old withering woman#she mostly made it that long because she was given a guide sponsor life#so long story short not all starclan cats actually get to use the cool starclan powers and those who do are usually ‘sponsored’ with an#extra life and a cool star like marking#this isn’t a well known thing tho and even within starclan only higher ranking cats rly know anything beyond knowing that every now and#then new guides are chosen#now usually what’s supposed to happen is that the sponsored cat has a close eye kept on them and if they are deemed worthy they’re allowed#to keep their mark and become a guide once they die the second time#the main flaw in this system is that the cat who sponsored them has to be the one to revoke it#so if they refuse to revoke it for whatever reason there’s not much that can be done about it#or in raincinder’s case her sponsor ended up fading before they could judge her fully#so even though by all means even the most rebel friendly guides would revoke it easily she managed to keep her mark til death#this was ofc largely helped by her living til 19 fucking years dear god woman#but hey I guess it means minkclan gets a guide even though she’s a rly shitty one#rly that mostly only matters for the sake of nine lives and the sake of travel between starclan and the living territories#which actually does cause a lot of problems when all the guides decide to go haunt a child instead#oh also guides also pass on their mark to leaders who’s life ceremony they hosted#not the guide role tho each guide gets a new mark

Her ass is NOT beating the bnuuy allegations!
#splatoon#my ocs#my art#the squits#june is so bunnycoded that shes like 80% of the reason im on team lil bunnies rather than baby chicks#also Basil's there because i thought itd be funny if she was manhandling one right behind June-#-who's too scared to even pet hers#also theyre very slightly aged up from when i normally draw them- around 20 rather than their base 18-19#since thats the age theyd be for this springfest + i wanted to draw June in an alt outfit and thought it would be cute-#-to have her in Basil's favorite hoodie. and then bc i added Basil- Basil's wearing JUNE'S favorite hoodie also#and since theyve been in a relationship for a few years now theyre both taking the others colors rather than just June taking Basils

went looking for yata quotes because finnikins gilf hunter moment remains one of his best. am now doomed to yata math torment
#ok so if saro is ~10 years older than trevanion (~50) then by that that logic yata wouldve been 15 when he was born which is technically#plausible given that its stated later in the series that was betrothed at 14 but i think given the context that came up in if shed been hav#ng kids that young wed know. also. tilda was yata's fifth child and saro was presumably her first (he is mentioned to have brothers but#never any other sisters. if he is ten years older than trevanion then yata mustve been having those kids fast as fuck because the implied#gap between balthazar and his elder sisters is implied to be of a decent size (i think i have a different expectation of what a large#sibling gap looks like but that is not of consequence here). since vestie had yet to be married off i am assuming she was mid/late teens.#we'll go with ~15 because it is the best i can do. now. if we assume yata had 5 kids in 5 years (technically doable but no fucking wonder#seranonna had to rock up on the last one) that would make tilda five years older than trevanion and therefore ~19 when vestie was born.#so technically we can make the maths work. except for the part in qoc where it's stated that balthazar and isaboe were born when tilda was#older than tesadora is now and tesadora is at the very least mid-thirties (i'm not showing my tesadora maths but you can trust i've done it#so all of this is bullshit that doesn't matter because the timeline doesn't matter#that or i've missed something sickeningly obvious#whatever. krilling myshellf.#lumatere

Well. Enough of that. I'm normal now (lying)
#.txt#i need to reread lonely castle and asfit SO BADLY#and yami-hara#god tsujimura mizuki is such a phenomenal writer#also i forgot that one of the characters in asfit is ALSO named tsujimura mizuki#and she's like. the one creating the whole situation they're in#the implications that could have for bsd tsujimura (who's named after her mother and has her ability) are CRAZY#because so far in bsd all the characters we've seen who were named after other characters and not authors are sort of unimportant#and lack abilities#but TSUJIMURA#she DOES have an ability but it's not her own#and her whole life has been dictated by her mother#also i've read 3 tsujimura mizuki works so far and all of them have themes of teenage depression to varying extents#and i just. i don't know#considering how invested bsd tsujimura is in action movies NOW...it would not be surprising for to have been bullied growing up#her mother 'died' when she was 19 and she joined the special division not long after#she's been on the ayatsuji job for 2 years so i'm assuming she had to have spent at least 2 years in training and stuff#and like. at 19 she should be in college#it would be difficult to juggle college coursework and being in a secret government agency#also correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure she was scouted for the special division#what (besides her existing ire) could cause someone to drop out of college to join some secret agency? an unfriendly environment maybe?#i don't know i'm basically clutching at straws here#i used to have more detailed thoughts about this very topic but i either failed to write them down or they're buried in old discord message#gaidenposting

okokok so, at my old job all the girls there had this book club type thing where whenever one of them got a Col/een Hoo/ver book they would trade them taking turns reading them. I was offered to join, and said no bc i'm not usually a romance novel person and thats like all i knew about them.
I'm watching some videos right now of people reading Col/een Hoo/ver books, like through key parts and oh my gosh these things are garbage??? I'm sorry if you like them, but these are horrible and my gal is a grown woman writing about 18 year olds in a very wsfn way ._.
#also llike??? the munipulation? the guy is always an asshole#the consent is questionable at best#the fake dating??? that's rushed to actual dating in like 2 hours???#wtf y'all#also 14 yr olds (the youngest person in the trade group) should NOT have been reading this stuff#i'm almost 17 and wouldn't read this stuff 😭#apersonwhotalks#this also explains a lot when it comes to the drama i would hear them putting up with from their boyfriends#like is Ms Hoover aware she's giving young women really shitty expectations of romance#bc i watched 14-19 year olds who were obsessed with her books talk about rlly shitty stuff their boyfriends did in a romantic way#one even jokingly(?) referencing one of her books with a “well that's what guys do when they're in love” like girly no#i'm aro and even i know that aint it

(PRE-ORDER) FUNDRAISER STICKERS FOR GAZA!!
Pre-order will end on December 11, 2024 so get them while they're hot!!
GET STICKERS HERE!!!
100% of funds will be donated to families in Gaza! Check out their fundraisers below, and please consider supporting them!!
Ameera's family: They currently live in North Gaza that has been experiencing dire Israeli-made starvation. Her young kids, youngest of which is 2 years old. She has spoken to me about how she hasn't been able to find anything for her kids to eat, like milk for her baby, and getting funds would really help her afford to feed her family.
Ahmed's and Dina's family: A family with 3 kids and one newborn. Urgently needs funds for medical treatment and essential goods. With winter approaching, these funds become crucial for affording winter clothes.
Rawan's family: $8k urgently needed to help take care of her mother, who needs treatment for a tumor. The funds will also be going to support her family as they await the crossing to open for evacuation.
Alaa's family: She is trying to care for her two very young kids, the younger of which has a skin infection that needs to be treated. She is facing constant bombardment and needs help.
Aya's family: She is helping to take care of 19 family members, including 9 children.
Walid's family: Walid is 3 and has two sisters, Layan (2) and Toleen (6). He is disabled and needs treatment.
Rawan and Yemna's family: two sisters and their father who need access to essential goods to live.
All of these campaigns are equally urgent and I can understand the difficulty in choosing one to donate to, especially if you don't have much to spare.
But it's better to choose one than to let indecision keep you from choosing any.
Also, your one donation won't solve everything (unless you're a millionaire and can spare tens of thousands at a time LOL) so, and I say this in the nicest and most gentle way possible, get over yourself! Pitch in whatever you can spare like the thousands and thousands of people donating to these fundraisers every day, and acknowledge that you can't save the world BY YOURSELF - but with many others acting with you, you can make a difference!
As always, free Palestine and all oppressed peoples of the world!
