not to be delusional on main but i truly believe that tomgreg has the potential to go canon. greg’s dad is gay and if there’s one thing this show loves it’s generational similarities (and why bother having that be a plot point if not for later use). tom’s open marriage and hesitancy to cheat but easy intimacy with greg. the eventual crumbling of said marriage and tom’s subsequent closeness with greg as a blatant replacement for shiv. the ‘would you kiss me’ line, the ‘you’re mine’ water bottle pelting scene, the forehead kiss. not to fucking mention nero and sporus. tom has killed his wife, pushed her down the metaphorical stairs, and all that’s left now is for him to dress greg in her clothes and kiss him on the lips. all i’m saying is that i think the writers of succession are too smart to lay all this foundation and not follow through. it’s too good a show for that.

i'm going to start putting stuff up on inprint in addition to my etsy soon. my plan (for now) is to use the etsy more for my traditional art stuff like etchings and original paintings etc, and use inprnt for prints of my digital art, so there will be a difference in what's available on either

Who’s ready for some Rowan lore? (It’s me, I’m the one who’s ready)

Rowan is the court’s emo jester - his whole job is to act sad and scrungly and pitiful, as the rich people find this very entertaining. When he’s working, he’s encouraged to sulk aesthetically on fine furniture, sit on people’s laps to lament about some made-up tragic woe, do sad little dances for tips, recite melodramatic poetry. They love to dote on him and make a fuss, they mock him, patronise him, try and fail to get a smile or a laugh from him. It’s all completely superficial, the people he works for love to laugh at misfortune without any sort of moral consequence. Many would see Rowan’s work as shameful or degrading, but he sees himself as an actor playing a role and he is payed handsomely for it. He has a Parisian style apartment in the city, he smokes the highest quality tobacco, rubs elbows with the city’s elites, his alcohol is aged and fine. He has several rare and expensive exotic breeds of cat, all of which are regularly spoiled rotten. In his public appearances in court, he stays in character and entertains for hours however in private, his opinion is generally valued and trusted. He is privy to many shocking and scandalous secrets, and it’s in his interest to keep every single one. If anyone disrespects him while he is working, such as throwing peanuts at him or insulting anything other than the character he plays, that person is often not welcomed back in court. Rowan performs in theatres when he’s not in court, if only for the love of it as it doesn’t pay nearly half so well as being willingly humiliated by rich people does. His natural disposition is laid back and fairly chipper, but his naturally sad looking face lends itself well to his work.

Consideration for the Princess Mary is thought to have been one of Jane's uppermost [concerns] as she moved into her role as consort, but whether it was simply political or indeed sincere is another question. She apparently approached the subject with Henry just prior to Anne's arrest: 'Mistress Semel [...] suggested that the princess should be placed in her former position; and the king told her she was a fool, and ought to  solicit the advancement of the children they would have between them, and not any others. She replied that in asking for the restoration of the Princess she conceived she was seeking the rest and tranquility of the king, herself, her future children and the whole realm; for, without that, neither [Charles V] nor [the English] people would ever be content.' Her concern for Mary may [well] have been genuine, but her timing was impeccable. She safely voiced her concern surrounded by her family and friends at court who opposed the Boleyns. What is interesting in this exchange is the speculation of Jane's motives, combined with the king's reaction: he defined the role he expected her to fit into, in this case, he gave clear indication that she should concern herself with the business of the children she would have with him, not any other. Politics aside, she was expected to produce an heir and focus her attention on the dynastic issue of her future family. At the very least, Henry had convinced himself that there would be children between them and sought to remove her from any central political role to that of consort and mother. Jane was a hope for the future, but Henry set out immediately placing a definition on where her concerns should be and what his expectations obviously were.
