It’s no secret nor am I ashamed to say that I haven’t been around in the last few months. Although I didn’t originally start Tudors, I did take over as a main admin this summer in the wake of both creative differences and administrative decisions. Being the only admin on board a roleplay I didn’t create terrified me. I wasn’t going to let it die, but I also couldn’t go at it alone. Solo graciously decided to join me on board and for the next few months we navigated this ship ourselves. Unfortunately, in late November I was forced to step away due to a surgery that left me inactive for the next several months. Solo has manned the roleplay essentially since then, and if not for her I am certain Tudors would have died with me. Solo has done so much for Tudors, things onlookers would have no idea about; creatively, she has been a key-player in the time jump we recently instituted, and behind the scenes she’s queued thousands of promos, answered hundreds of questions, and accepted dozens and dozens of applicants, all the while forming a limitless bond with our members in the Discord chat. I have felt so guilty being away from the dash and basically foisting the responsibility on Solo, but I also know that if not for her none of us would be able to flesh out the characters and plots we know and love today. So from all of us here at Tudors: thank you, Solo! Thank you for doing so much for the roleplay as both member and admin. You’ve done a beautiful job and we can’t wait to see what you do next! We love you! –– Xoxo, Mama Claw.

Just under a year ago I found this group and it became a solace for me, an outlet for when it has been the crappiest of days or I just needed to get out of my head for a while, but it has been so much more than just a place to play pretend and write to my heart’s content - that is the beauty of it! Tudors has become an OOC family that feels like more than just a group of writers shit posting about Henry VIII and we owe the fact that it’s still around to you, Solo. In times where life has gotten on top of one admin and another needed a well deserved break for rest, you have stepped up and helped this group to continue to grow even through times of radio silence and we simply couldn’t have done it without you. You are kind, compassionate and so welcoming to both new members and old. Sometimes I find the OOC chat to be overwhelming but I always feel assured to know that you’re always there; ready to be the first person to respond to any and every random message thrown into the group, making us all feel included and wanted. From your creativity, kindness and out of the blue messages to send memes or cry with me over SIX, I feel incredibly fortunate to know and get to write with you in a group that you have nurtured and cared for like a true mama duck! Not to mention getting to share SIX with you in May. I know I’m rambling and forgetting what words even are, but the point is that there is No Way that we could do this without you. Now, Don’t Lose Your Head, but you truly have a Heart Of Stone and it has been your dedication which has grounded us all and given us the ability to Get Down in Tudor court whenever we want. I know All You Wanna Do sometimes is ignore replies and things because they don’t always come easily but I’ll never say that I Don’t Need Your Love-ly muses because they are just as incredible as you are, each and every one of them. –– Lots of love and adoration, Bee.

Dear Solo,

In the past few months that I've been a part of Tudors, I’ve felt at home. Back in December, when I joined, I was a little wary of getting back into the rp game. Bad admins, cliques, and low activity were all still in the back of my mind, and though I was a little suspicious that Tudors would be like that, I was proved dead wrong. Thanks to you, I have always felt welcomed and appreciated as part of the group. And a big part of that is due to you. You’re always the first to like my starter, the first to respond to some shenanigan on discord, always the one to encourage character development and group bonds. You’re a fantastic admin, and I know personally how hard it is to keep up with an rp, especially one so detailed. That’s another thing: you pay attention to every little detail on the main, with other’s characters, and even our own lives. Solo, you should know that you are more than just an admin. You’re a fantastic writer, someone with a big heart and a great sense of humour, and most of all, our Mama Duck. I can’t speak for anyone else, but if Tudors ever decides to start up again, I’ll be there. Hopefully, I get the chance to write more with you. All the best in grad school! –– Lots of love, Mara.

My dearest Solo - I can't tell you enough how much I love you, and on another front, treasure you for all that you have done for Tudors. I've harped on you taking over this rp and how amazing it is for a reason. Its been a year of Tudors, but the moments I think about the most, beyond those wonderful summer days, are those when you fought tooth and nail to keep this place alive. You poured endless love and effort into Tudors, and I don't want you for a second to take it ending for the moment, as an indication of your failure. It is your light, and love, that gave us these wonderful months - that cultivated an environment of collaboration, laughter and joy. There has been no drama, only love and good times - this rp didn't begin as yours, but it will end as yours, because in the end, you gave it a level of devotion and care that is unrivaled. I am so thankful Tudors had you, as an admin, and a wonderful writer - you know much I treasure our plots, whether the lovelorn Charles and Juan, who I will never part from, or the tender relationship between Pip and Sarah - but your characters certainly don't end there. It hurts me too, to let go of Tudors - its spirit isn't gone, neither is a core of supporters and devoted members. But the love and care you put in is only respected and exemplified by a dignified hiatus!

Your pride should be endless, and I will not rest until you love the work you did. Through thick and thin, you never wavered in your efforts to give Tudors its best shot as lasting as a rp - I cannot thank you enough, for making the best rp I've seen in so long, an unforgettable time. But on a personal note - meeting you has brought so much light to my life, and I love you so fucking much. I can lose Tudors, or losing rping - but you ? My tarts are the best thing I've gotten.  I love my corn gf with each baguett-y breath I take - and with that said, I know you've got so much on your plate, and I want you to know, I am here in whatever capacity you need. We're an ocean apart, but I am never, ever, too far from you if you need me.  You are so good and sometimes I think I'm too much of a gremlin for you! You inspire me to be sweeter and great things with a warmer heart. You are talented, caring, loving, sensitive to those around you, and ferocious in your devotion. Thank you Soleen, thank you corn gf, thank you Solo –– Suki

–– Much love, Admin Claw.

Hello everyone! 

Unfortunately, we come with some less than happy news. It has been decided between the admins that, for the time being, TudorHQs will be going on an indefinite hiatus. Personal issues and lack of time to devote to running Tudors have become increasingly challenging for us, and we feel that to run the group at a limited capacity is unfair to the members - new, old, and prospective. We want to be able to truly respect and value the time and energy everyone has put into the characters, and we feel we can’t adequately do so when we both have other circumstances getting in the way. 

Our hope is that we will eventually be able to return to this group with a new vigor and give it the attention and love that it and everyone involved truly deserve! But until that time, we will unfortunately have to put the main on what will at the very least be an extended hiatus.

However, we will allow and encourage current members to continue writing amongst each other if they so wish, and to continue interacting OOC as they would like - Tudors always has been a great community, with some who have been part of it for the whole time the group has been open, and we are beyond grateful that this closeness endures even now.

In closing, we just want to say thank you, to everyone who has been a part of the journey in making this roleplay what it is - all of you who have applied or shown interest, or helped us shape the plot, or had any involvement at all. We love and appreciate the roles everyone has played, and thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for the continued love, support, and patience you have shown to the admins as we have navigated some personal challenges.

If there are any questions, feel free to IM the main or send an ask off anon - we will not post anything on the main, but will still have eyes on it from time to time! We will definitely update here as soon as we can, especially when we know for sure when and if Tudors will return - but until then, thank you again!

- Admins Solo & Clau

Would Margaret be older or younger than the Stewart children? and who could you see working for her fc?. I was thinking of Alyssa Sutherland but she might be too old.

Margaret would be younger, as she’s the daughter of Margaret Tudor from her most recent marriage. In real life, she as born in 1515, so I would say a face claim who could play early-to-mid twenties would suit her. Unfortunately that’d make Alyssa Sutherland a bit too old for this role, though I personally would to see Alyssa here!

I could see Tamla Kari, Tamzin Merchant, Sophie Rundle, or Eleanor Tomlinson, to name a few! Some of these are actually older than Adelaide Kane but have older resources or just look young to me, to be honest. Though if none of these ladies interest you, I can try to come up with more ideas! 

Hope this helps!

+2 WANTED CONNECTIONS

MARGERY BOLEYN ( our emilia clarke faceclaim ) is looking for their HUSBAND, GEORGE BOLEYN, who looks like kit harington, max irons, jamie dornan, ufd. you DO NOT need to contact them prior to applying. ( They’ve been married for seven years, but she has never quite felt settled. Margery always wanted desperately to love and be loved by her husband, but she felt that his affection was given to everyone but her. She has always respected him, and loves his family. For a long time, their marriage bed was empty, she slept alone and cried herself to sleep with a desperate longing to have a child and to be loved. Her attentions were swayed in a moment of weakness and she betrayed George ( a secret she is now burdened with, which breaks her heart ). They now have an infant son and their marriage is seems better, but she cannot say in all certainty that their son is George’s.   )

LOUISE BORGIA ( our nina dobrev faceclaim ) is looking for their OWN PERSONAL ASSASSIN , UTP UTP, who looks like UTP suggestions. you DO NOT need to contact them prior to applying. ( Louise has gained her own personal assassin whom she uses to perform those violent, lethal and otherwise criminal acts for her, so she will not need to get her own hands dirty. he/she is fully loyal to her and has also been the one that she hired to get rid of her own husband. The two has known each other for years now, but he/she has been mostly in the shadows or otherwise been introduced as a servant of hers. Louise has this time brought him/her with her to the english court as she is now free to do as she pleases without her husband in the way and finds that he/she will may become useful at some point doing her travels)
