WOLF HALL - THE MIRROR & THE LIGHT (2024)

dir. peter kosminsky

[southofeerie]

Thomas Cromwell would love the gossip and intrigue of love island. He would be plotting and scheming so covertly on that show.

I don't know how to translate this, sorry

I hope tomorrow I wake up as thomas cromwell's gay nephew

[driften-sea-snake]

M&L cromwell: oh no, i was never a carpenter. i was good at breaking down doors, not fixing them

all of his friends: hey man maybe don’t constantly joke about your lowborn origins at court?

M&L cromwell: damn, you’re right. i’ll chill out

*the next day*

henry: my lord crumb must have once been a shepherd, the way he treats me like a lamb to lead

M&L cromwell: no your majesty, i was never a shepherd. it was my job to paint a pig white, so we could try to convince the shepherd we were returning his lost sheep. for a reward, of course

henry: …

M&L cromwell: when it was dark we’d steal the pig back and repeat the scheme the next day

Wolf Hall show is good but without Cromwell's internal monologue this is most of it:

HENRY: I have a problem.

CROMWELL: Have you tried not doing that?

HENRY stares lovingly into CROMWELL'S eyes.

HENRY: I want to own you.

CROMWELL seems perturbed as HENRY makes fucky eyes at him.
