If we compare the official language that Richard used to describe not Edward V, but Edward IV, with Henry’s official descriptions of Richard, the former seem far more vituperative, after Richard had changed tack and decide to excoriate his brother. If anyone indulged in propaganda with a view to actively blackening a predecessor’s reputation, it was Richard, not Henry. Compare Henry’s bland proclamation shortly after Bosworth (fresh enough that it contained the erroneous information that the Earls of Surrey and Lincoln, as well as Viscount Lovell, had all been killed there) with Richard’s damning references to Edward. Henry refers to ‘Richard duke of Gloucester, late called King Richard’, but gives us no further description, either of the king or his rule. Richard, by contrast, happily went into details about Edward IV in Parliament, with references to Edward’s ‘ungraciouse pretensed mariage’ and the result that ‘all poletique rule was perverted’.

Im bout to GO OFF abt why ShadowPeach (Sun wukong x Macaque) should be nominated bc they are SO QUEER and so in GAY LOVE okay so

First things first, they r definitely divorced in canon (/j mostly) but at the end of s4 (the latest season) there's a scene where they are DEFINITELY at the very least getting closer to their old relationship. We actually do see their old relationship and they were so close back then like,,, augh they're so gay for each other,,,,,

LIKE!! LOOK AT THE LOOK MACAQUE GIVES WUKONG!! Absolutely fruits (sry abt the low quality btw </3)

AND THIS FROM THEIR PAST SELVES TOO.

AND AND. THE LITTLE SMILE THEY GAVE EACH OTHER DURING THE S4 SPECIAL. WHEN WUKONG WAS AT SUCH A LOW MOMENT. THEYRE SO GAY.

Also the voice actor for macaque did a cover of peaches from the Mario movie (wukong's character is heavily tied to peaches) which is kinda fruity behavior to me idk

As for why they're t4t uhmmmmmm. They told me themselves /j

But for realsies look at these outfits like

What cis person would wear those. Cmon.

Anyways SUBMIT SHADOWPEACH THEYRE T4T AND IN GAY LOVE <333

Doc and Jimmy brainrot part 1 lmao oh no

Basically "What if Doc was in the Life games and Jimmy triggered his parental instincts again". You guys will see my vision. I don't care what it takes. You will see this very specific vision I have god damn it if it's the last thing I do

This is all I have to use as propaganda right now but some ideas and justification below cut!!

Been imagining a lot of Doc/Jimmy interactions both in a traffic and HC context, both of which I'd love to draw for but obvs this for now is 3rd life and I want to draw a little something for each Life series. You'll see!!

The general idea is inspired by a moment from one of the Decked Out streams in which Jimmy calls for Etho and Doc's all "you're triggering my parental instinct... I wanna take you into my hand and take you to a safe place" yep that's it that's the whole inspiration!!

Jimmy deserves love and he does get it to various degrees ofc (Tango, Bad Boys etc) but man... It's so fun to me to imagine Doc in traffic, I think he claimed that he didn't want to be part of the life games because he was afraid of being too competitive (or so I heard), but god it's so fun to imagine big scary mad scientist goat man in that scenario and him probably going at it on his own a lot of the time, but this god forsaken mf Jimmy knows exactly how to unintentionally trigger his parental instincts. I want Doc to subtly take Jimmy under his wing especially as Jimmy keeps dying first. So maybe Jimmy is a bit incompetent and loud as far as he knows, but he sees that he's trying his best and the dad in him can't help but intervene just a tiny bit (and I do mean just a tiny bit) as the games go on. Yes I'm just gonna shove Doc into the Life Games just because I wish this dynamic could have happened and I beg you to put up with it!!

For the above drawing specifically since, sigh, I'm slow and that's all I have to offer rn... it's of course 3rd life, starting off. I imagine Jimmy's wings sprouting during that, because the whole "canary curse" began with the Life Games etc. And this post isn't about FH but just for context as I imagine it, Scott who doesn't like unpredictability convinces him to clip his wings (thanks Bree) because Jimmy's not a proper avian (unlike Grian who has a more "airborne" body, bird feet etc rather than just... wings) and he'd never be able to take flight anyway, those wings would only encumber him. (And then Jimmy keeps clipping them himself until DL Ranchers but cough this post isn't about that). I imagine the avians (for my specific roster, just Grian) have their wings magically clipped anyway just enough to prevent flight and make the games fair. Doc ofc isn't avian himself but he knows that Grian greatly frowns upon the act of willingly clipping wings so when he sees that Jimmy's quickly growing wings have been clipped as well, he can't help but ask, because why would that be necessary while his wings are so small anyway? And Jimmy's response triggers a wee bit of fatherly concern in him but thats it for 3rd life woo

For the rest I just wanna draw more tiny moments of interaction until I get to Secret Life, I guess!! The brainrot is really fucking strong guys

Henry VII, far from pushing a ‘propaganda line’ on Richard’s reign or on his own background, did so only very minimally. For any significant detail his tactic was one of obfuscation or concealment rather than propaganda [...] It was not until the early years of Henry VIII that there was an attempt to construct a more coherent narrative of these events, resulting in the well-known accounts by Polydore Vergil and by Thomas More. But even so, there was no rush to publish the results. Vergil did not appear in print until an expensive Latin edition was published at Basel in 1534. More’s work was never completed. Both only became accessible to a wider public when they were plagiarized to form a continuation to The Chronicle of John Hardyng, printed by Richard Grafton in 1543.

— C. S. L. Davies, Information, disinformation and political knowledge under Henry VII and early Henry VIII | Historical Research (2012)

The term ‘Tudor’ is not merely anachronistic but ambivalent [...] the term ‘Tudor tradition’ applied to the sequence of narrators from Vergil to Shakespeare incorrectly suggests sponsorship by the ‘Tudor monarchs’ including Henry VII himself. It will be argued here that neither Henry VII nor Henry VIII, at least in the first half of his reign, was keen to publicize a detailed narrative of the years 1483–5, either in relation to events in England, or to Henry VII’s family antecedents and his activities in exile before his accession.

“My Dad doesn’t know Gregory doesn’t have a place to say. Gregory says not to tell him. He made me promise, even though he comes to our house when it’s thunderstorming and he needs shelter.

I don’t know what to tell my Dad when he asks about it.”

headcanon that Gregory goes to Cassie’s house all the time but doesn’t want her dad to know he’s homeless, but he also comes to their house in the middle of the night when there’s bad weather and only gives vague responses when cassie’s dad asks about it. great job being inconspicuous greg

Hopefully they are able to accept this healthy(and delicious) bento. The old man has been very worried the kids aren't eating.

it is very much appreciated. they'll find some quiet corner of the @tmntaucompetition to hide in so they can eat.
