Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.
#lol I don't remember writing this - I found it when I was searching for something else in my drafts. But it's 100% true so I had to post it.#elizabeth woodville#my post#Imo this is mainly because Elizabeth's negative historiography has always involved both vilification and diminishment in equal measure.#and because her brand of vilification (femme fatale; intriguer) suggests more indirect/“feminine” than legitimate/forceful types of power#It's still bizarre though-you'd think these would be some of the most famous & defining aspects of Elizabeth's life. But apparently not#I guess she only matters when it comes to marrying Edward and Promoting Her Family and scheming against Richard#There is very lacking interest in her beyond those things even in her traditionally negative depictions#And most of her “reassessments” tend to do diminish her so badly she's rendered utterly irrelevant and almost pathetic by the end of it#Even when some of these things *are* mentioned they're never truly emphasized as they should be.#See: her formal appointment in royal councils. It was highly unconventional + entirely unprecedented for queens in the 14th & 15th century#You'd think this would be incredibly important and highlighted when analyzing late medieval queenship in England but apparently not#Historians are more willing to straight-up INVENT positions & roles for so many other late medieval queens/king's mothers that didn't exist#(not getting into this right now it's too long...)#But somehow acknowledging and discussing Elizabeth's ACTUAL formally appointed role is too much for them I guess#She's either subsumed into the general vilification of her family (never mind that they were known as 'the queen's kin' to actual#contemporaries; they were defined by HER not the other way around) or she's rendered utterly insignificant by historians. Often both.#But at the end of the day her individual role and identity often overlooked or downplayed in both scenarios#and ofc I've said this before but - there has literally never been a proper reassessment of Elizabeth's role in 1483-85 TILL DATE#despite the fact that it's such a sensational and well-known time period in medieval England#This isn't even a Wars of the Roses thing. Both Margaret of Anjou and Margaret Beaufort have had multiple different reassessments#of their roles and positions during their respective crises/upheavals by now;#There is simply a distinct lack of interest in reassessing Elizabeth in a similar way and I think this needs to be acknowledged.#Speaking of which - there's also a persistent habit of analyzing her through the context of Margaret of Anjou or Elizabeth of York#(either as a parallel or a foil) rather than as a historical figure in HER OWN RIGHT#that's also too long to get into I just wanted to point it out because I hate it and I think it's utterly senseless#I've so much to say about how all of this affects her portrayal in historical fiction as well but that's going into a whole other tangent#ofc there are other things but these in particular *really* frustrate me#just felt like ranting a bit in the tags because these are all things that I want to individually discuss someday with proper posts...

#I've had the cutest interaction today#So like yesterday? There was this post I saw on my dash that was like “you want to know extra info about museums? Just befriend a–#guide! That way you can also unlock the Secret Backscene” and I was like. Lmao. Who could ever befriend a museum guide I've never–#even personally met anyone who works at museums?#... Well. Guess what happened today#I was following this guided museum tour with a friend and when the tour came to an end I was happily chatting with her when the guide.#Shyly chimed in and was like “is that an Atsushi keychain?” And I was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#And I was like‚‚ omg‚‚‚ Do you happen to know‚‚‚ This one series‚‚‚‚‚‚#And they unsheathed their phone like a fbi distinctive in American movies to show me their fyo/zai background amjdsgawsjda it was SO cute.#They were adorable. And I got so embarassed but trying to keep my cool while internally I was like‚‚‚#Omg the Cool Museum Guide™ is talking with me about my hyperfixation‚‚‚‚‚‚ What is happening#We talked a bit about the manga it was such a nice and sweet exchange. They said they like Dostoyevsky and I was like yeah he's so cool!!!#They said they're sorry about Bram it was REALLY cute (´;ω;`)#I didn't want to hamper them too much so I took my leave shortly after but I'd actually really like to pay visit again–#when the new chapter is out??#Hhhhhhh I don't want to look stalkery and like go look for them on their job. But also like‚ they looked genuinely happy and as excited as–#I was when we were chatting and I believe in the power of human connections through shared hyperfixations#The possibly funnier part is that then my friend went “Wait you're into b/ungo stray dogs??” and like alright. This is less surprising.#I already knew she likes manga.#What actually left me quite baffled was that... She really didn't know I was into b/sd. When it's literally what I think about 24/7#Something very similar happened just a week ago. My friend gifted me a manga volume of a series she really likes for my birthday#But when she was giving it to me she awkwardly went “oh‚ just‚ it features romance between two guys. I hope that's okay with you...”#And I internally had to pause and realize that no.#In fact most of the people I hang out with don't know I spend half my time curating a bl focused blog.#It's just funny in a way? I got so used to concealing my hyperfixations I didn't even realize I actually got quite good at passing–#for someone who is normal about stuff.#random rambles

Do you know why she is honored as goddess? Bedridden for a long time due to her incomplete celestial roots... a deity everyone thought could not be saved... Lord Xingzhi came to take to the Extranatural Heaven. And cured her. Therefore, the Divine Realm's Heavenly Lord gave her a title: Luotian Goddess – blessings from the sky. The girl blessed by the [ancient] gods.

you know, i always find it really funny when dudebros complain about syndicate and odyssey being too "jokey" or not "taking its characters seriously" or whatever…
like, did y'all collectively sleep through "it's-a me, mario!", "i meant besides vaginas", ezio inventing the latte, bartolomeo's... just... *gestures vaguely* entire character, etc?
like, it's fine to have preferences of course, i myself prefer a more serious and grounded tone, but these are usually the same people who tout the ezio trilogy as "peak assassin's creed", call ac1 a glorified tech demo and hate on connor for being "too serious and boring", like? make it make sense!
#asscreed#ac syndicate#ac odyssey#dont get me wrong#i do have problems with syndicate and even more so with odyssey#but it's not the tone lol#honestly i think kassandra is the protagonist that's the most similar to ezio if you really think about it#but bc she's a woman she's suddenly 'overpowered' and 'unrealistic'#yall don't remember the insane things that ezio survives in revelations do you#speaking of which#been replaying the ezio games lately#and i have something to confess...... i really don't think ac2 is good#ac brotherhood was a BIG improvement#in terms of story pacing for one (none of those insane unmotivated time jumps... well aside from the strange montage at the end)#and the characters are a lot more fleshed out (probably bc there aren't like 20 of them)#and the handling of female characters is MUCH less egregious#maybe bc there's only really claudia and caterina left LOL#lucrezia is a little annoying i guess... but she gets a pass bc she's cesare's sister and really they're the same kind of crazy lol#and hey we actually get to see how dangerous sex work can be and how it's not just a way for sexy nuns to give inner peace to men#even cristina gets fleshed out!#and i like that we get so see ezio being a little bit of a selfish prick in her missions#and making bad decisions in interpersonal relationships#at least i THINK that's what we're supposed to take away from it... but who knows maybe it's just supposed to be a tragic love story...#i hope not.... i hope the player IS supposed to think that ezio's treatment of her is bad. otherwise.... :/#sorry for rambling#guess im just kinda surprised by how much i enjoyed brotherhood#it had been a long time since i last played it#also the modern day is really good!#that you can talk so much to everyone and also being able to read their emails and the mundane banter... idk i just think its neat :)

As I don't want to leave negativity on someone else's post, but saw something WILDLY out-of-character, when an actual in-character relationship is RIGHT FUCKING THERE.
Sakura and Shirou's kitchen-relationship:
Shirou: "I need to get there first and start breakfast, or-"
Sakura: *innocently smug* "Hello senpai, I got started without you"
Shirou internally: "Noooo, my kitchen-time is being stolen"
Shirou externally: "Ah. Well, if you've already started, how can I help?"
Sakura internally: "Yay! I won first-place, and I get to make senpai happy with my cooking now!"
Rin and Archer's kitchen-relationship:
Rin: "How dare you-!"
Archer: *smirking like a bastard* "Oh? Have I touched a nerve, Rin? Were you under the mistaken impression that your chocolate-chip cookies are in any way adequate beyond the bargain-bin at a kindergarten bake-sale?"
Rin: "... I will fucking END YOU"
Archer: *scoffs* "I should be so lucky"
#like. sakura-shirou's kitchen-rivalry? it's basically fluffy puppy-love. it's the one area in their lives that ISN'T traumatic.#rin-archer's kitchen-rivalry? archer loves to piss people off and rin is EXTREMELY competitive. even about cooking.#basically? archer would LOVE to one-up rin with his many years of experience. and she'd gnash her teeth and swear bloody vengeance.#though to be entirely fair. they could probably do this about ANYTHING. provided that archer is given the opportunity to be a troll.#also. for the sake of completion ->#rin-sakura post-HF is a version of sakura-shirou bcs it's about them reconnecting more than anything else#rin-sakura outside of that is mostly walking on egg-shells and pretending as if they're not. the resulting food is mediocre#bcs neither side is really willing to put their foot down and say ''we should do it like this'' so they're averaging-out to meh.#-> rin-shirou is them kind of just... hip-checking each other out of the way so that they can cook their own thing#they're a bit competitive. but neither side is really going to instigate things beyond ''they did X well so now i have to do Y really well'#-> archer-shirou is similar to rin-archer but with actual hate as the undertone instead of pride. archer isn't even having fun#shirou is WRONG and INCORRECT and archer wants to BASH HIS STUPID FUCKING SKULL IN.#and shirou is very much looking at the kitchen knife and THINKING ABOUT IT. but he won't do that. bcs the kitchen is SACRED#and archer WOULD KNOW THAT if he wasn't such an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE.#stories#relationships#laughing#fate stay night#my writing

poking at my dear evan hansen hyperfixation with a stick. STAY BACK!!! I ALREADY VANQUISHED YOU!!! WHY ARE YOU CREEPING BACK INTO MY MIND!!!
#tbf it's more of an “everyone is alive and also friends but in a nuanced way” au that my brain made up#like HOW FUCKING INTERESTING would it be if the musical had a similar plot but connor was alive???#they THINK he's dead and evan still gets accused of being his friend but CONNOR'S NOT DEAD HE'S ALIVE#and then his family's like “oh we invited your friend evan over to see you” OR MAYBE HE JUST SHOWS UP and of course Connor's gonna say “wtf#like “that's not my friend fuck you” but since he's connor they're gonna think he's just being an asshole#and through some turn of events these boys decide to lie about being friends and shit#everything spirals a bit but they actually DO end up connecting over their issues and shit idk#not making it a “uwu they're besties!!!” type thing just... everything's just as messy#they just accidentally trauma bond sort of#lots of nuance and shit lots of complicated things going on#shit like this rots my brain#connor and alana getting along is also super important to me btw#alana “worked on one project with connor and now wants to help him because that's what a good person does”#she helps knock some sense into him and he helps her be less high strung#jared being caught up in all of this and starting to get jealous of connor but not wanting to show ot#because he was evan's friend FIRST#and evan was one of his only friends#ALSO MIGUEL COMING BACK??? (book character mention omg)#maybe not like a huge thing but connor needs to see him at least once#also autistic evan because he is#deh#dear evan hansen#average boog post

thought i'd try to design the fallen humans, but i only have integrity so far, the design might change a bit, but otherwise i quite like it
i don't have a name for them, or any plans for the other fallen humans, but i'll cross that bridge when i get there

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday
It's not Sunday here any more but I can't sleep so I'm gonna do this one anyway.
From Chapter 5 (the next-but-one) of The Sylki Arranged Marriage AU, when they've fucked again but they still hate each other:
Without looking round to see the smug grin that she knows is going to be on his face, Sylvie shrugs. “We’ve fucked twice now and I only came one of those times – my own hand’s got a far more consistent history of satisfying me. And that’s my left hand, by the way, and just so we’re clear I signed that contract and everything else I’ve ever put my name on with the right one.” That little diatribe wins her several seconds of what sounds – or rather doesn’t sound – like a rather shocked silence. That smug smile will have vanished now, which brings on one of her own; if he’s going to insist on being a rude, unpleasant piece of shit then she can be one too.

Something about the way the narrative keeps using food as a means of connection between the main group and Sango and Onyx, just like how Dot's arc of opening up included food (and how Dot helped the restaurant's owners with their menu to make food enjoyable for everyone and that "everyone" included someone from the antagonist side too).

The surgery went well! (And I thank everyone for the positive feedback on that post of mine.)
Though it's weird not being able to talk at all today after that, but I knew ahead of time that I wouldn't be able to, LOL, and that I wouldn't be able to eat normal foods for a while (and that's kind of similar to when I got my wisdom teeth out).
According to the ENT, my voice will, at first, be worse than it was before surgery (something I also knew ahead of time). But here's hoping that eventually it'll be louder/stronger than it was.
It won't at all fix all of my vocal cord problems--this isn't a solution so much as a help--but it'll be so nice if people will actually be able to hear me again, and if my voice won't fade out, etc.
If it does work, I'll definitely be looking to get a more permanent injection in the future:)
