THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII

[Chapuys] thought that she [Katharine of Aragon] had been excessively compassionate. Later on in his life he described her as ‘the most virtuous woman I have ever known and the highest hearted, but too quick to trust that others were like herself, and too slow to do a little ill that much good might come of it.’ Excerpt from Catherine of Aragon: Henry's Spanish Queen by Giles Tremlett, published 2010.

/ I was today years old when I realized u can unlock special cutscenes at ranbu lvl 10 where u can give ur swords gifts, and they have different voicelines depending on what u gift them and whether it's a good, neutral or bad gift

T.suru when u give him a bad gift: oh, this sucks ass

But also his kiwame (basically it's the sword's turbo lvled up version)'s response when u give him a great gift 😭😭😭

“Believing false things about history never hurt anyone and certainly can’t get anyone killed. It’s fine if we are conditioned to dismiss, disbelieve, and suspect SOCIAL scientists as long as we’re fine with REAL scientists” — a truly worrying number of tumblr users

Thoughts as a Chinese MLM

[aquilanus]

obsessed with the thought that when giulio was born, almost every major event that even most non-scholars are taught to remember had already occurred by several centuries. caesar, that he perceives as a mythical ancestor, had already been assassinated and deified around 300 years prior giulio's birth. the colosseum had been built almost 200 years before; the destruction of pompeii, too, happened around that date. it's funny because giulio went on, clinging to a history that he never lived if not through annals and books, because by the time he was born the empire was already heading towards its twilight. some well-intentioned guy tells him "oh i love ancient rome hehe caesar" and giulio is like 😬 yeah definitely
