#i was rewatching this episode whilst stoned the other day#so my experience might have been shaped by the luxury of that experience#but like bruh...this show ROCKED#slayed shook boots the house down#it's such a limitus test of the best ways to use creative license wrt historical texts#bcus while the primary source does show that these two women said these words in some effect#the report alleges that there was some intermediary in these messages. this was the message anne sent mary vs the response mary gave#to the messenger...not that they had this sort of direct confrontation or even conversation#but of course this was the choice in how to adapt the source and without that creative choice we wouldn't have this#just...fantastic scene#the whole episode is so interesting and i hadn't realized prior that they chose it to be the same one#mary's refusal and anne deciding to manipulate henry's choice for his next mistress during her second pregnancy on her father's advice#so in that framing it was how she decided to employ defense against the unsaid threat in that confrontation#also don't @ me. she has water signs in her chart
