Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

#elizabeth woodville #nobody was doing it like her #I wanted to add more things (eg: propaganda casting her as a transgressive figure and a threat to established orders; the way we'll never #truly Know her as she's been constantly rewritten across history) but ofc neither are unique to her or any other historical woman #my post #wars of the roses #don't reblog these tags but - the thing about Elizabeth is that she kept winning and losing at the same time #She rose higher and fell harder (in 1483-85) than anyone else in the late 15th century #From 1461 she was never ever at lasting peace - her widowhood and the crisis of 1469-71 and the actual terrible nightmare of 1483-85 and #Simnel's rebellion against her family and the fact that her birth family kept dying with her #and then she herself died right around the time yet another Pretender was stirring and threatening her children. That's...A Lot.#Imho Elizabeth was THE adaptor of the Wars of the Roses - she repeatedly found herself in highly anomalous and #unprecedented situations and just had to survive and adjust every single time #But that's just...never talked about when it comes to her #There are so many aspects of her life that are potentially fascinating yet completely unexplored in scholarship or media:#Her official appointment in royal councils; her position as the first Englishwoman post the Norman Conquest to be crowned queen #and what that actually MEANT for her; an actual examination of the propaganda against her; how she both foreshadowed and set a precedent #for Henry VIII's english queens; etc #There hasn't even been a proper reassessment of her role in 1483-85 TILL DATE despite it being one of the most wildly contested #periods in medieval England #lol I guess that's what drew me to Elizabeth in the first place - there's a fundamental lack of interest or acknowledgement in what was #actually happening with her and how it may have affected her. There's SO MUCH we can talk about but historians have repeatedly #stuck to the basics - and even then not well #I guess I have more things to write about on this blog then ((assuming I ever ever find the energy)#also to be clear while the Yorkists did 'eat themselves alive' they also Won - the crisis of 1483-85 was an internal conflict within #the dynasty that was not related to the events that ended in 1471 (which resulted in Edward IV's victory)#Henry Tudor was a figurehead for Edwardian Yorkists who specifically raised him as a claimant and were the ones who supported him #specifically as the husband of Elizabeth of York (swearing him as king only after he publicly swore to marry her)#Richard's defeat at Bosworth had *nothing* to do with 'York VS Lancaster' - it was the victory of one Yorkist faction against another #But yes the traditional line of succession was broken by Richard's betrayal and the male dynastic line was ultimately extinguished.

i just wanted to share this in case anyone else wanted to give it a try, but last night i tried out this unknowing meditation and when i got into the groove of it well enough my heart rate sped up and i stopped feeling almost all of my body. and i just sort of felt weightless. i also felt a tingly sensation over my body that was definitely noticeable. it was barely a guided meditation either, and all of this just happened in the silence.

i think i got too convinced on going to the void all of a sudden (not that it would stop me necessarily) and my thoughts started spiralling, but i'm definitely giving it another try!

but if anyone has shifted or gone to the void i am curious if they've felt similar??

BREAKING NEWS !

are you an x-files fan in the market for a new quirky 90s television show to hyperfixate on?

one with people who claim not to be a couple but stand way too close together with way too much sexual tension? AND who both call each other by their last names?

one with a quirky heartthrob who’s somehow both a genius and a loser with endearingly terrible taste in ties?

well have i got the show for you !

[join me on the exciting albeit frighteningly time consuming journey of unlocking my lastest niche interest as @whatsabagel ]

#don’t worry msr has a chokehold on me forever this blog is still alive and well #the x files #northern exposure #mulder x scully #fleischman x o’connell #fox mulder #joel fleischman #mulder and scully

Leo, what has been your favorite “to-the-death” activity thus far? I feel there has to be a workshop-to-the-death somewhere in that hotel.

LEO: I think maybe Magnus was right about talking about the past… I’m not sure I’m ready to do that yet, but thinking about it and doing things that remind me of my old life, it feels like progress. prev ask (also about activities!)

Im just glad to be settled enough to be posting rn #leo my sweet homesick child... the next update will be even more brutal to you I'm so sorry #shoutout to yall trying to get him out doing things/in the workshop/meeting alex I think he needs a break from my angst #anyway not canon yet but halfborn probably learned ancient greek and ancient latin at some point and adores this graecus son of hephaestus #he will adopt valgrace over the course of this tbh #leo valdez #v²au #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #hotel valhalla #magnus chase #valgrace #leo valdez responds #art #I'm gonna try an update or two a week during this early part of the school year! we'll def have to see my schedule bc #I did NOT see this update taking 10 days (or more accurately... for me to barely be on my computer the last 10 days)#but I am alive settling down and still in love w this au! super behind on anything else pjo/wottg but alive and online!#halfborn gunderson #festus #<- these are more for blog archive organization but oh well... we'll see them more I swear!

This campaign has a violent grip on my soul. can’t wait to see how long it takes Condi to use all of Emizel’s lives because tbh it ain’t looking good. But at least Soda’s in rehab now, hopefully that means he can JOIN THE FREAKING PARTY SOON. There is no reason for them to not grab him and run istg.

anyway here’s him!!. I am constantly rotating favorite characters because they’re all so silly!!! But right now he’s the chosen one

#jrwi the suckening #the suckening #jrwi #jrwi suckening #local gang member loses his arms and gets burned alive for the second time #if I had a nickel #well at least we still have grefgor #emizel my silly vampire rat boy sopping wet just absolutely soaked #jrwi emizel #jrwi fanart #this is attempt two to post this to the right blog sob #erm ignore how pointy his ears are I zoned out completely and just went into vampire drawing mode so uh pretend they’re lore accurate

#27% circle line with a lovely friend of mine rail tracks screeching etc etc u know the usual. im just gonna write down memories #a few weeks ago my friend read thus spoke zarathustra by the fire to the music she was dancing it was her silhouette #against the flashlight lit up gold and royal blues and tiger's silk i tried not to fall in love with her. in bordeaux we searched #for pomegranates he sent her 300 quid by the beach she cut it open with a knife her hand covered in red we each had a taste of her work #sweet red wet the sweetest grit. too barely clothed to go into the cliffside church they painted my eyes we painted hers #8 shots of gin she screamed joyfully IT'S ALIVE! at the book she said become the child i said i feel like a monster she said i was insane #i tried to believe her. fortified wine and later a red pen crossword defiled by humidity her hair in my hands two king sized beds #pushed next to each other she took her top off she told us to watch her arms raised up the musculature on her back was precise cut from #marble we saw oceans we saw the birds take cold baths the midnight sun over a wasp-infested pool our chemicals in their bodies #gold flakes dark skin gold cross shoulders against mine drawing some form of each other on the train i didn't hesitate #to say her eyes were beautiful over and over monks at the soapshop with titanium credit cards i loved you like i loved no other #he tied his hair up and walked us into the river he held a bullet between his lips i never held his hand he said what an honour #you own too much capital your mother thinks i'm a natural i realised i haven't told my mother i loved her in years she's always been mother #never mom i'll watch you watch seaweeds this is terminal akrasia i'll feel your fingers smear perfume on my lips your girlfriend grins #bite into the straw take the shot hold my hand get it all wrong draw in the sand kiss him right stab through leather shower in chlorine #you're the determinable vicissitude is all yours we won the Game AND the Battle AND the War i'm proud of you like crazy we feed each other #saffron cliffside lovers well-fallen brothers fat cats blue windows southwest sun ALife SynBio design aXAA grow us a city in silico #we've grown to the ends of glee fire-jumper ocean-eater sure-footed lists on lists hands on eyelids не устану искать тебя #...anyway ive put my face on this blog b4 but hiii again #feel free to rb btw the rants r not personal

plushrumps arg archive final update

Reworked header to take the credits out of the toggle. A heartfelt thank you to the Feltfiends (especially @fribbitz and @ironovervine), to @nutzworth, to the Shitpost Pissdrinkers, to the anons, and to the contributors who have chosen to remain uncredited and anonymous.

A new section with Behind-the-Scenes content has been added, featuring the muns' blogs, and a summarization of the BTS convo on Feltfiends.

Cleaned up the Bulletin as it is now defunct with the ARG over. Also cleaned up parts of the site so it's neater.

And that's it! Good game, y'all. If there are small tidbits from the muns here and there, I'll do my best to add them, but otherwise, most of the work is done.

Thank you to the muns @terrorizings @classpectpokerap @orangestorapples @horsesbones @jester-vamp and @maybetheyregiants , even if it was serendipitous and spontaneous ❤️. Thank you to the servers who've had to deal with me and my annoying dramatic ass 💜. As I've said, it has been a pleasure and an honor to be your liaison, your secretary, and your archivist. And your dear friend 💙.

You may now proceed to beat this blog with hammers and put me to sleep.

#plushrumps arg #homestuck #413 #bro strider #dave strider #dirk strider #and by 'beat this blog with hammers' i mean blow up the notifs through nonsense. it's a game with pissdrinkers. y'all can join in shsgsgsh #that's all from me folks! i actually havent been on tumblr for....like 6 or 8-ish months?#but my friends got into this so i made a blog to follow it #i will now proceed to go into hibernation. dont worry if my accs go radio silent im alive lmao just on discord #and if anyone's into boiled man phenomenon or pontiac robotics archives. well. maybe i'll see you there 😊#So long. Goodbye. I'll see you when I see you. You can pick the street -- I'll meet you on the other side

i’m sorry but it’s still very funny to me that 10 years later i’m still seeing SO many people go “no solas is totally right and just misunderstood, he won’t be victim of his own hubris” like. his name is literally pride and that’s basically asking for it

#i simply think it would be more interesting if he WAS well meaning and was still wrong bc he’s just So Sure He’s Right #not tagging this bc i love organizing my blog but i also love being alive #mine
