I MEAN but wouldn't that be an incredible isekai series??

a modern princess whose job is basically just being a beautiful figurehead

grows bored with her vapid role in life and withdraws from society, riddled with ennui

only to fall into a fantasy realm where princesses have real political power

as well as important responsibilities that her subjects depend upon

and at first it's a comedy of errors as she realizes that none of her training prepared her for this

but then she grows as a person and applies herself to learning how to guide and guard this kingdom

and becomes the powerful and just princess she was always meant to be

...so I guess apparently my new favorite conspiracy theory is that kate's shoujo manga just underwent a MASSIVE genre switch.

WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS TROUBLESOME PRIEST ROMAN?

When Caesar arrived in pursuit on the third day, Theodotus showed him Pompey's head and ring, but Caesar was offended and wept.

-Liv. Per. 112.4

the title quotation is referring to the famous quote associated with the henry II-thomas becket conflict. the uhhhhh. the themes match, somewhat. feels the same, in some kind of way. anyway, fucking RIP to caesar and pompey. it's gotta be lonely, to start off as three, and then two, and even locked in conflict, there's a familiarity of being known that you're never going to have again. ah, what loss. what tragedy. etc etc etc.

people acting like its some terrible shame that anyone was speculating about Kate Middleton's whereabouts now we know its cancer. Oh shame for ever making fun of shitty photoshop jobs, don't you know she has cancer??

Nah mate. She married into a rich and powerful family thats been leeching of the British public and wider world for decades, centuries even. She is going to be given top treatment, probably at the expense of others. Hell despite the cock up they kept her out of the public eye for months so that's not a big stress either.

I'm sure it sucks for her and her rich spawn. I might even say I feel bad for the younger kids. I dont wish cancer on anyone but Charles etc, etc.

But lets not act like she's some poor single mother waiting on the NHS. Struggling on benefits or struggling to work while on chemo. Trying to feed her kids during cost of living crisis. Trying to just find time to be with them.

Kate has all the money in the world, her kids are in top schools with lots of rich relatives. They could easily be taken out of school and taught by top tutors to be more flexible with her health. She will likely be fine. And even if she isn't? She'll have had the best chance out of anyone. She would have the most comfort possible and people around her until the end.

So no. I literally do not care. I have no guilt or grief over memeing the every loving fuck out of a PR cockup by a bunch of royal leeches. To act like I should is absolute bollocks.

"this person should be on the throne" "that person should be on the throne" quite frankly there should not be a throne

saw somebody today try to say charles rowland is a monarchist, which is blatantly wrong, just look at the guy, but it did get me thinking that edwin, with his upper class edwardian sensibilities, would probably have been raised to support the royals. so now i'm very curious how that conversation went. anyway i think people should do more with the culture clash of 80s punk charles and posh edwardian edwin, i think it's really funny.

The UK had the chance to be the funniest country on earth if after Louis xvi was executed they were just like “so happy you finally killed that usurper! Obviously king George iii is the rightful king of France, descended from Edward iii, so we’re gonna be installing him asap”

anyway, when george hid under the bed and couldn't move, mental illness mood, long live the monarchy or whatever

OK. OK. Let's believe he's a good man. But his second-in-command - is he a good man too? You'd better hope so. Because he's the supreme ruler, too, in the name of the king. And the rest of the court... they've got to be good men. Because if just one of them's a bad man the result is bribery and patronage.

Uh oh, looks like Christopher Eccleston's social media manager couldn't stop him this time!

[image ID: a screenshot of an Instagram post from Christopher Eccleston, his URL and profile picture (of a monkey) above the post. The image is of the front of a white house, the blue door has seven white A4 pieces of paper strung over it in a horizontal row along a string, like bunting. Above the house, but still within the post, are black words on a white background, reading "Thank god I kept that bunting from the jubilee last year". Each piece of paper has a letter on, hand written in blue ink. When read in order, it reads "F U C K O F F", or "fuck off". End ID]
