Unexpected feelings received from my lady jane. When Jane tells Guildford that there's no cure to Ethianism and there shouldn't be because there's nothing wrong with him and she wants everyone else in England to see that and has the power to "heal England" but Guildford responds with "Fuck England. Heal me!" As someone who struggles with chronic pain and internalized ableism, that really got me. Like there's stuff happening to me that takes me away from the life that I would ideally like to live and there's nothing I can do to change it but the desperation and grief and rage is so fucking real...I just didn't expect those feelings from a fantasy regency tudor rom com.

#guildford dudley #jane grey #my lady jane #internalized ableism #ethianism isn't an affliction clearly in the show but for guildford it specifically limits his quality of life in a very physical way #he literally is stuck as a horse for most of the day #unlike all the other ethians #who deal with more of the socioeconomic limitations of being ethian #didnt expect to kin a rich white man but as someone who's daily life has been limited due my mental/physical disability it hit #the sinking realization that your pain can only be managed and not cured is so fucked yall lol
