I didn’t realise this!
All the works I’ve seen implied that Kat was really frivolous, but you’re right in that it seems a more modern adjustment to her character.
Oh sorry! I didn’t realise that About it being Anne Boleyn and not her. And I didn’t know about the clothes sent to her ladies in waiting!
Katherine Howard really deserves better than what people describe her as. (Plus, hmm, the fact that so many people have put her as “someone who slept around” is Worrying considering that Dereham very likely r*ped her and there was no evidence that linked to her having any sort of consensual relationship with Culpeper)
Legit my favourite historical critique of Katherine Howard is framing the fact that she was interested in fashion and dressing up and boys and parties as a bad thing? Like? She was 17! What was she SUPPOSED to be interested in?
“aLL HER HANDMAIDENS WERE HER FRIENDS!!!!”
I- well YEAH. she’s a TEENAGER who’s not been at court, she’s not going to immediately pick based off courtesans.
Besides doing this shit undermines that Katherine Howard was at heart a good person who knitted blankets for prisoners in the tower because it got cold.

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby

PSA: IF YOU LIVE IN ENGLAND PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE
Some of you may have heard about the UK Cat Killer, some sick fuck who has killed and mutilated over 300 cats and other animals such as pet rabbits and wild foxes over the past 3-4 years.
Recently there have been an influx of more killings especially around the South Eastern area, including Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire, etc, where the animals have been mutilated and either returned to their owner or left on footpaths and sidewalks where kids regularly walk to school. School children have been finding theses horribly mutilated animals. Most recently, however, on Monday a lady’s cat was found beheaded and splayed out in a star shape beneath her bedroom window in the morning about 2 minutes away from where I live, my mum works at a vets and was visited by Scotland yard police who advised everyone who lives in the area to keep their pets in at all times if possible. Especially at night.
So, since Tumblr is so American-centric, I thought I’d write a little PSA telling people who live in the UK to please keep your pets in at night, and if possible, during the day.

This has been a PSA, thank you.
