INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | THE VAMPIRE LESTAT

[skyrigel]

[json-derulo]

Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"

ANNE BOLEYN and HENRY VIII in Blood, sex & Royalty | Episode two

[omnybus]

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”

[earlofwiltshire]

"...fascinatingly intelligent and high-spirited..." "...the only one of Henry’s six wives whose marriage to the king was regularly called her ‘reign’ by contemporaries... a major player in the early English Reformation, the beginning of a Reformation unique in Europe in having two women among its leading architects..." "...a devout, intelligent, and determined woman..." "...undoubtedly intelligent, attractive, spirited..." "…an educated and opinionated woman who attracted supporters and detractors in equal measure…"

Happy one year anniversary to Étoile.....

WE HARDLY knew ye...it was premiered and cancelled within the same breath

I've written many rants about the treatment of Étoile and treatment of television in general, and the DEVASTATION I felt about it still too. BUT YES THAT CLIFFHANGER...

TWO CLIFFHANGERS ALL SURRounding CHEYNNE.

Season 2 was truly going to be Cheyenne's season...I COULD FEEL IT

IT IS WHAT IS...BUT I FEEL that journey for her...especially involving JACK would have been fascinating.

PLUS WE WOULD HAVE LEARNED WHAT HAPPENED between them FIVE YEARS AGO...but I CAN DREAM

[fideidefenswhore]

To go from being the daughter of a minor noble family to becoming a queen was highly unusual. In the sixteenth century the only recent precedent had been Elizabeth Woodville, whose marriage appears to have been a spur of the moment decision by Edward IV. Anne and Henry on the other hand faced many more obstacles to actually marry and Anne emerged, for a period, as one of the king’s chief ministers and very much a politician in her own right. This was a remarkable achievement and one that was not followed by any of Henry’s later wives (with even Catherine Parr finding it difficult to assert herself politically).

If she had lived longer, Anne would almost certainly be remembered as England’s first Protestant queen (a distinction which belongs to Catherine Parr). At the time of her death, the religious reform movement was heading towards Protestantism, but it was still in its infancy. If she had survived, Anne would also have been regent for her minor children. Perhaps this would have been thirteen year old Elizabeth in January 1547, or a younger son? In her lifetime, Anne was very politically driven. I always think of her as a politician first and I think this would have continued – she would have been a competent and powerful regent.

–Dr Elizabeth Norton

“A different woman might have ignored the critics and trusted to her own attractions and her ability to nag or persuade the king into marriage, but not Anne Boleyn. Instead she entered politics. The first evidence of this is her growing exploitation of her influence over Henry… It was clearly a bad thing to cross Lady Anne, even if you were the king’s chief minister and had right on your side.” | Eric Ives, The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn
