Season 4's opening is such a strong re-introduction to the show and its characters. Like... of course Roddy is having a christmas party alone at a fastfood place because he secretly wanted to spend time with the others, of course River and Louisa are having their own little get together that is awkward but also emotionally vunerable, of course Shirley and Marcus are doing weird torture resistance training for gambling purposes, of course diana has to deal with yet another useless man, and of course Lamb is waking up disgruntled and surrounded by empty bottles

#catherine isn't in the opening but of course she gets sucked back in by trying to help out ❤#i'm shutting up now #(until next week)#(perhaps)#slow horses

Siobhan: "Bitter Knight was a warlock who had sold her sugar for magic, and the secret is that actually she was Amethar's oldest sister, Rococoa, who was a Revenant, because she came back to revenge herself against Calroy for killing her family."

#dimension 20 #a crown of candy #bitternight darknibs #rococoa rocks #siobhan thompson #dropout #like SERIOUSLY #you can't just introduce the most interesting character concept of this entire world and then leave it???#like of course i didn't want ruby to die but i desperately want to meet this character #it makes me actually insane that this character is canon she's mentioned in episode one and yet we never meet her #my posts #also i'm now wondering just how much the pcs knew bc like #did siobhan know about the calroy twist at character creation? or was that a later detail added to the concept of bitternight?#and did they know about catherine before the church twist? bc how could emily have made saccharina otherwise?

can i hear about your ocs from the midsummer post ?

Yes!!!!

Ok, so, Catherine Appleby is a witch, - specialty: necromancy to be exact - and she lives in a small and haunted cottage in the late Victorian era (maybe), doing witchy things and selling witchy stuff. She is not talented at practising necromancy which is probably the reason why the ghosts stuck around. She is sarcastic, stoic and a bit of a lone wolf. Also quite gay.

Her previous girlfriend died and her mentor is a healer who couldnt save her because it was too late ("I can heal people who are sick or injured, I can't bring them back to life") so Catherine, heartbroken, is questioning the healing path more and more and she decides to pursue necromancy to be able to do that.

One time one of her necromancy spells goes wrong and instead of putting someone dead from the past into the future, still alive, she accidentally catapults someone from the 21st century into her own time.

Introducing: Evelyn Mellington. I don't have such a grasp on her character yet but I do like to imagine she is somewhat of a goth and quite drawn to antiques/the past/history in the first place. She likes to bond with the ghosts in the house and finds the time travelling adventure absolutely fascinating. (Self insert here, ngl).

Since Evelyn is not a magician, Catherine, with a somewhat guilty concience about this whole thing, tries to teach Evelyn magic, so she can get back to her own time. Hijinks ensue.

Also they fall in love.

I have created them in the Sims one time, here's how they look (Catherine on the left, Evelyn on the right):

(Ignore their not historically accurate hair)

Historical census coincidence, maybe a gay one, in the tags🫡

#there was also this extremly interesting coincidence i had with catherine appleby and a us census from 1940(?)#i have researched her name just in case there is already a character etc with this name out there #and found a 59 year old catherine appleby in the 1940 census #she was described as being married to florence appleby #also a woman #their daughter (33) was called evelyn #maybe i have found a really nice piece of queer history #of course it may have been a mistake with one of thrm being for example a housekeeper and working there #or they may have also nice messed with the census records and put themselves as married long before gay marriage was possible #good for them🫡#anyway i really cherish this particular part of census information #thanks for asking me about my ocs! i love them!#catherine appleby #evelyn mellington

This is apropos of absolutely nothing but can we all take a moment for this Aideen concept from the 2023 roadmap update because I think about it at least twice a week

#The IMPLICATIONS #And then you think about what happened to Catherine’s horse and then what happened to CATHERINE and you go oh… Oh……#Like the two halves of a whole just starts HITTING man #Of course one of them couldn’t exist without the other!!!!#Of course she would have dreams of galloping!!!!!!!!#z talks #sso #ssoblr #I also find it particularly appealing how she’s not portrayed as like. A slender elegant woman like the Aideen’s Plaza statue.#Here she is almighty; intimidating; a force to be reckoned with. She holds a power immeasurable in her left hand and another in her right.#And yet she is benevolent. Almost kind. There is a gentleness in her eyes.

when heathcliff begs cathy's ghost to come back in 😭

#I love him...I know he did a lot of horrible things to children but um. he's a fully complex antihero #who I honesty feel fine about liking as a character. like I'm glad they're free of him #and I wish he hadn't done all those things obviously #but he didn't leave bc he didn't love cathy. he left bc she said mareying him would degrade her #and his self-worth had been destroyed so utterly by the peers and adults around him #pride is a huge aspect of heathcliff (and hareton's) behavior #like heathcliff resents being mistreated! of course he's going to refuse to play their game! and stay in the barn!#and of course hareton reacts angrily when he's mocked for trying and failing. and of course he's unwilling to turn and make nice immediately #it all just makes perfect sense. they're really good characters. and I love that about them I really do #I love both catherines too ahh I wanna make that clear I really do. cathy I is a legend and cathy II is a legit heroine #but I really love heathcliff too!! I doo #cor reads

Considering that Jack Drake stole from dig sites, unless I’ve completely missed something about the Graysons, Dick is the only main continuity Robin to not have at least one criminal parent (outside of Bruce).

I don’t know enough about Bette Kane to say if we can make a similar statement about the Batgirls.

#but Cass's birth parents are both murders and I kinda just assume Jim Gordon does some crime #Steph's dad is a costumed villain and her mom illegally obtained prescription meds #so that's at LEAST three out of four Batgirls with at least one criminal parent too #Bruce and Talia both do crime so that's Damian set #Jack Drake stole from dig sites though whether Janet did too is unclear #Dana may not have done crime but she did commit some ethics violations in her job #Willis worked for Two Face Sheila was embezzling I don't think Catherine did anything though #at least not in preboot era #Robin #Batgirl #Gotham #this is just how Gotham is #DC #Batfam #and of course everyone adopted by Bruce now has a criminal parent #he does SO MANY crimes

soulmate-ism ❤️

#am i joking? am i serious? who could say...#my qualm is not so much the style of acting or even the actors changed but seemingly the groundwork of this character #being disregarded and set aside #im fully a hater so believing this scene is cute means more coming from me.#i liked both that they depicted her as odd and her oddness chiming with his own oddness #bcus then by s3 she is just...serene and genteel. nothing else #i think it was interesting that she doesn't mention coa in s2 either and couldn't help wondering if this was an intentional choice?#catherine was #for one something that seemed to bond the group she became part of #(which is something they seem to omit it is just...the seymour faction. of seymours. and charles brandon. no one else)#but for another technically would have been an obstacle to her advancement. so if the omission was purposeful that (could) have been #masterful... they of course ruin that by s3 again lol #im assuming what they were going for was jane modeling her queenship upon catherine's in s1 by having her suddenly #express such admiration for her but this presents its own host of ...not plot holes persay but character gaps? i suppose?#(this has been theorized and that she succeeded is doubtful. it's not like henry's response to the may day riots intercession was similar)#namely: how does this square with jane's seeming devotion and idealization of henry in s3? she thinks the world of him and constantly #seems to be let down by him and expect better of him...but were she such a devotee of his first wife. whom he banished. then why?#another thorny issue they refused to grapple with by just eliding s3: she might have thought the world of him because*#of what was done to anne. in the vein of reginald pole #ridding himself of the 'heretical evil'. they sort of try to do this by a transference case; suddenly jane hates cromwell even tho he was #instrumental in her rise...?#they didn't have the confidence to explore that ; however. even though it would've been better continuity #bcus in s2 jane seems happiest in diminishing her rival.#and they didn't really give any of the complexity they did to AB...this sort of brash confidence and steady and public reviling of her riva #followed by these scenes of anxiety and fear ; like with her sister overlooking coronation sketches #instead she just becomes...serenely sad. somehow. surprised that henry has a mistress.#(i mean. cute being a relative term. jane is cute. henry is baring his teeth and doesn't seem to display much in the way of ...warmth?#could have actually been something really interesting done here...idk how accurate. but interesting #'as lancelot worshipped guinevere' is a fantasy...and not one that ends in marriage between the two #just as 'maitresse en titre' (i mean...it was a title for a reason...but) was a fantasy outside marriage

William B. Robison, “The Bard, the Bride, and the Muse Bemused: Katherine of Valois on Film in Shakespeare’s Henry V”, The Palgrave Book of Shakespeare’s Queens (eds. Kavita Mudan Finn, Valerie Schutte, Palgrave Macmillan 2018)

#robison points out in a footnote that the biographies of her out there add very little to the historiography around her #(and of the biographies he cites only one gives her a lengthy treatment - the rest are from compilation biographies of english queens)#(this was also in 2018 so he's not referring to katherine j. lewis's chapter on her which came out this year)#honestly i find this to be very true - that she's always discussed with the same kind of narrative #(i read 3/4 of the biographies he cites and a couple he doesn't and when i was writing the post on catherine as a political agent #i went back and reread them and it was amazing how they all followed the same kind of narrative beats #the wooing scene from shakespeare! did she love henry v? widowhood and attempted romance with edmund beaufort! mrs tudor time! death)#(i'm also reminded of a comment kavita mudan finn made about how tudor-era writings tended to depict catherine's marriage to owen tudor #in a way that subsumes her agency in making the marriage into a wider narrative about the destined rise of the tudors)#and while there's less emphasis on destiny as a mystical force we're still eliding catherine's agency from the story #or pushing it into the realm of the domestic - at least one novel focuses on how her tudor marriage makes catherine abandon the political #world and the trappings of court to focus on her children husband and house - something akin to a housewife #(while still being - of course - the fairest and most fashionable and smartest and hottest woman in the realm)#- and i think it even depicts her gardening. she even celebrates the lives of peasants as the ideal because they're 'free')#(which. what.)#catherine de valois #shakespeare #historiography #historical fiction #historian: william b. robison

Scourging PK again,

Catherine explains to Barney that so many kitties and doggies in Garreg Mach were there because Rhea loves animals.

Coupled with Catherine’s convo with Dedue about her not acting like an Archbishop, you can’t convince me that when Seteth went with his usual “Rhea no”, Rhea picked a kitty and went to Catherine instead - and Catherine can’t tell her “no” so that’s how Rhea Catherine adopted 50 pets before Seteth put an end to this nonsense.

Cue Dedue catching this story and wondering, if he is the one telling his Highness to not eat the weeds, is someone else enabling him, worse even, encouraging to eat weeds??

Ingrid suddenly feels bad, her brothers told her those plants weren’t weeds, but edible flowers! Hopefully Dimitri doesn’t suffer from stomach pain, right?

Indeed, he survived Ingrid’s flowers, but passed out after trying one of Flayn’s cookies - that were actually made by Rhea, who put Zanado Fruit jam on them, thinking they were for Flayn’s own consumption ! - just like Ashe, Sylvain and Felix.

Hopefully this happened while there was a decrease in sugar importations in Adrestia - which made Supreme Leader focus on something else than the current War.

#fodlan nonsense #3 nopes #fodlan AU #during AG Mercedes tried to teach Flayn how to bake cookies #no matter what she says even saying it's Lady Rhea's fault this poor child doesn't how to bake sweets #Seteth is the one who finishes Zanado Fruit jam in the jar when no one looks #Lizard family time?#Catherine thus has unofficially adopted 25 cats and 12 dogs #the remaining 13 were bunnies #because Lady Rhea couldn't adopt them since Seteth said no #of course Shamir was allergic to cat hair #so when they polished each other's armors and did partner things the discussion often arose #but then she trained a cat to hunt insects so they weren't as annoying as before #Rhea after seeing Alear in disengage asks Seteth if she can bring a camel back home

Remembering Phillipa Gregory/The Spanish Princess portrayed Catherine of Aragon lying about consummating her marriage to Arthur strictly for her personal gain makes me so irritated

#like it really is one of those things we’re just never gonna know #none of us were there of course #HOWEVER #you’re telling me catherine. an extremely devout catholic #lied on pain of what she would’ve perceived as eternal damnation??#that’s really what you wanna go with???#this woman DIED because she refused to tell henry what he wanted to hear #idk i just lowkey find it really insulting #it also almost justifies henry’s belief about them having one living child which is extra gross to me #but anyway

what i think a lot of people forget about historical figures, especially when engaging in any kind of historical fiction, is that these were actual people and they had feelings, they very much had thoughts and emotions about the things that happened to them and that they did and that they went through

#personal #this was mostly inspired by stupid people who go 'how dare catherine of aragon not renounce her marriage that would have been smart'#gee idk maybe because they'd been married for decades and he was suddenly being cruel and humiliating and hurting her and she was upset #(not even taking into account that the primary argument for 'catherine should have capitulated even tho it makes no sense')#(is that she should have done it for mary)#(even tho there was no indication that henry would treat mary as badly as he did because he'd never done that before even with fitzroy)#(so how the hell was she supposed to know? clairvoyance?)#but also i was thinking again about how a lot of post ides stuff tends to paint young augustus primarily as seeking power #guys a member of his family that he was close to was full on murdered #you don't think that maybe the eighteen year old boy was like???? upset???? and sad??? and wanted to fuck the murderers up???#of course he was shoring up power but it's very clear that his primary motivation was 'they took caesar from me and i loved caesar'#'so now i'm gonna make my determination for payback everyone's problem'

hedwig can you stop choking the prioress please

#im doing what i can to think of a backstory for this..#they would've been having a sincere conversation. angela opens up and talks about something in the past she deeply regrets. hedwig loses it #gets mad at angela and starts choking her. and im not sure how suffocation works but angela doesnt even seem to put up a fight?#her hands dont look like theyre trying to pry hedwigs arms out of her neck. and well shes crying but i have doubts that its from the chokin #of course i dont think hedwig was trying to kill angela just intimidating her. so that she can shake more information out of angela #the other scenario would just be that there is no sincere conversation and that they're investigating together but angela mentions #an unfortunate part of herself from the past (be it how she became part of the abbey or something related to catherine)#but it obviously ticks hedwig

one thing that continues to impress me about catherine tate's performances in doctor who is that she isn't, strictly, an actor?

or at least, she wasn't really a dramatic actor until she did doctor who. i remember there were so many people before series 4 saying that the show was going to be all comedy now and saying that it was going to be awful, but then fires of pompeii and planet of the ood and turn left happened and blew everyone away

and she's still continuing to knock it out of the park with the dramatic acting - and nailing the comedy too, of course! - and i can't help but be stunned by her understanding the assignment perfectly
