"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."
-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#my post#friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional'#(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...)#EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband#but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part#As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional'#A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means#of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances#to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor)#It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey#It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years#But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious)#By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family#(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons)#I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485#which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional#date of 12 February 1487#2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other#widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump#to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was)#I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument#Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was#They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless#I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests)#certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort#and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!'#which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure#ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.
#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her#and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura#he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life#deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was#he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means.#when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial.#the best he can do at least#he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times.#often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship#but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost.#22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way#Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless#he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it#she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes.#he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone#he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home.#can’t bare to see another shell of a home#he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes#Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon#but promises feel costly these days#he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura#someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here#his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long.#Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place.#clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them#but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here#he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention#he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves.#he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods#he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

I feel like being a Janitor at BHHS would be the equivalent to FNAF security guard.
Like there is a monster in Beacon Hills every other week, and it always makes it way to the school.
Like if it was a game, your job would be to avoid the Pack fighting the monster and hiding so the monster don't kill you. And then during the day your job would be to fix all the broken lockers, classroom doors, fix the walls, put in new windows.
Like the janitors would have to be paid more than the teachers for all the work they have to do.

I just watched Life with Luca, and I have to say, it was a real shippers dream. It was basically Derek and Casey raising their kids together (albeit in one weekend) and it was everything my little fanfiction loving heart wanted.
No it's not going to win any awards or break records but it was a good movie overall and it made former 16 year old me very happy to see everyone again so I'll take it.
Sometimes you just need the fan service.

The fact that Derek Hale could be mistaken for a death omen is clever as hell but I wish they'd just let him have a win JUST ONCE. Come on, you're telling me that homie can turn into a hulking black canine with eerie glowing eyes and and that he ALSO has an absolutely devastating family history and horrible rap sheet with lovers. Someone out there is gonna see him and be like "Oh. Fuck I'm gonna die" AND THEYRE PROBABLY RIGHT.

ballet au lol 🩰
YES THANK YOU ANON WOW
Derek is a dancer coming back from rehabbing a horrible injury (lower back?? fucked up his knee??) and has a chip on his shoulder because a) he totally has stage fright! b) has a reputation for being surly and overly intense. Pre-injury he was a rising star in the ballet company and had a lot more confidence but now he is a man humbled, quiet, relieved not to be in charge, but he also feels like he has a ton to prove! Especially since his mom and his older sister are famous dancers.
The ballet troupe is smallish and Stiles is in charge of logistics and MARKETING! Because he is a noted uncoordinated klutz. He's all about strategy and reviewing data and making things happen, and he is the absolutely bane of Derek's existence. He wants Derek in photoshoots, he sometimes coordinates with the artistic director (Lydia) on people's roles, Derek finds the way he talks about engaging customers manipulative, and tbh Stiles can be abrasive and annoying! So smart but so mean!
Derek has a recognizable everything face so once he has returned Stiles wants him to do an ad photoshoot so they can slap his picture on the side of a bus and this just makes Derek feels even more pressure. Resents Stiles for this and also because it's compromising Derek's anonymity. His only respite is teaching children's ballet classes, which is something he started doing while rehabbing his injury and also because the pay to be a ballet dancer isn't great at this small troupe!
Derek thinks once his career is over he would like to teach
But sometimes, when Derek is teaching these first graders, who do not care if he is weird and quiet, he notices Stiles watching. He thinks at first Stiles is going to want to use this for marketing but Stiles never says anything about it, just stays to watch Derek and the kids.
Then at some sort of holiday dance event Derek runs into his horrible ex, Kate Argent, who is a principal at a much larger and more prestigious company, and panics...only for Stiles to appear, wrap an arm around Derek like they're dating, and say "hey babe, who's this?"
#answered#ask meme#i do not know how ballet companies or marketing works. sorry to everyone who is like 'you are so wrong' sorry omg#teen wolf#sterek#LOOK i just think in this instance fake dating would be perfect#derek is so tongue tied and so grateful that he can't help himself melting into the arm hold and is like 'she was just leaving'#even though stiles surely knows about derek and kate's infamous and very public break up#it was a PR nightmare and stiles was an assistant at the time#so he can only be snubbing kate. and kate probably knows this. and derek does not know why stiles is rescuing him#and that night he goes home and he can't stop thinking about it. and that's when stiles goes from annoying to intriguing#meanwhile stiles had a hate attraction thing for derek since day 1 and then HORRIBLY he saw derek teaching first graders and CAUGHT FEELING#this is like a 40k fic i do not have time to write i already have 2 teen wolf wips help#also shout out to the les mis ballet/opera au that i think about daily#edit scott is also a rising ballet star and he and derek hate each other#the argents do run their own company maybe? the prestigious one? huge scandal when allison leaves it to join derek's troupe#the artistic director is thinking about making their nutcracker balanchine and derek supports this bc#he likes balanchine and he finds it classic and traditional#and stiles is like you're a fucking idiot. it's tired. it's boring. we need to do what PNWB did#we aren't a carbon copy of new york city ballet.#derek doesn't speak to him for weeks

Learning random ass Teen Wolf opinions from every corner of the internet as a result of the movie baffling and enraging what appears to be every person who watches it has inspired me to do something I've idly considered for a while - watch a couple of episodes to just to get a sense of what this show even was
Anyway Derek Hale's shack-freak vibes have fascinated and bewitched me 🤣🤣🤣
I mean in these first few eps the writing is so obviously setting up the whole dark mysterious werewolf badass and "Ooooh, can he be trusted? 👀👀👀" But with the most basic foreknowledge that he's one of the frequently shirtless wolf boys from the gifs and not a season villain (so I assume he's genuinely trying to help?) then all his threatening silences and stalker behavior and refusal to answer questions is, like, not malicious? He's being suspicious as fuck to this degree by accident?
And while I am admittedly getting the sense that a lot of these characters are dumbasses, for Derek in particular he's just kinda failing to act remotely like a normal person. As if he's literally just been living in a shack in the middle of the woods somewhere since his traumatic backstory happened, and now upgraded to the burned ruin of his trauma house. Which I'm sure with context will be very heartbreaking and tragic, but without context is honestly lowkey hilarious.
Go my freaky wolfman and make too much eye contact and stand too close and show signs of long term social isolation! Completely fail to communicate information even when you have fantastic openings to do so! Constantly just lurk around this high school showing up in places you most definitely should not be and scare the shit out of teenagers! Climb in people's windows! Be way too intense! He's so fucking weird and just passing it off as intimidating via the combined powers of height and cheekbones, and I find it highly entertaining.
