Merle Oberon as Lady Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934)

When Henry wrote his love letters to Anne and she turned the tables on him by demanding marriage, she envisaged a mould-breaking role for herself. Unlike Katherine, she never intended to sit quietly in her own apartments sewing her husband’s shirts. As early as December 1530, she hired a shirt maker. She was not prepared to while away her time in her privy chamber, to be paraded on state occasions or to be a gentle feminine presence, a foil to her husband’s masculinity. She it was who, with the help of her family, had destroyed Wolsey and propelled Henry into breaking with the pope. Now she wanted to set herself apart from her predecessors, to associate herself with everything new and to exercise power on her own account. Passionate about religion, education and poor relief, she wanted to change England.

i know i said i did not want to talk about the nolan odyssey but i do have one more nodyssey post in me. i actually think the idea of odysseus understanding his story as existing both in and out of a historic timeframe is a fun way to handle the liminality caused by the story being part of an extensive oral tradition. however having him say "our age of bronze is collapsing" is perhaps not the way i would have done that

ways alec bohm is ending up back on the phillies next year ranked from most to least likely

he shows up in the clubhouse on day 1 and everyone just feels too awkward to say anything

the new cba introduces a "mystery trade" policy where teams can just send you a player and you dont know who it is until they step off the plane

every time they try to play someone else at 3b he slowly morphs into alec bohm over the course of the game. eventually the entire clubhouse is just bohms and they have to call in the original to help everyone acclimate to being alec bohm

when the grounds crew shows up in clearwater to start prepping for spring training, he's sitting placidly at third base in full uniform. security tries to escort him out but every time he crosses the threshold he fades from existence and respawns in the infield

they offer him a contract

genuinely if I see one more person say that harper has been carrying the team and isn't he such a poor innocent lamb who bears no responsibility for the way this team has consistently shit the bed year after year after year and he can only be failed and never fail himself, then I am going to end up on the fucking news.

didn't win shit in dc and he had good players around him and they went to the playoffs with him, and then as soon as he leaves, they go and win a World Series. he comes here, does fuck all for the first few years, literally is an active detriment to them in 2021 when they just needed to win one (1) game in Atlanta and he went 0 for like 21 in the series, and then is part of a team that collapses every single year like clockwork in the postseason. bedlam at the bank was great, but they don't even get to that point without Rhys, and what does he do as soon as Rhys gets injured? knifes him in the back and steals his job (and then has the fucking temerity to say "but I want Rhys back now :("). he is making so much money and wants a newer, bigger contract, but somehow also expects that the team will spend like the dodgers. well the dodgers' best player took a team-friendly deal to allow them to spend money elsewhere. you are asking for more money. so how is that going to work, pray tell? you do weird shit with your blood, you do the whole raw milk/maha diet shit, you are just as much of a chud as any other baseball player you may want to name. but no, everyone has to don sackcloth and ashes and gnash their teeth because everyone else is failing your ass. there are other players on this team that have actually won World Series rings, but none of them throw their weight around as much as this jackass who has done nothing imo to deserve the kind of deference he receives from everyone. "what have you done for me lately" until it's him. he is never going to win a ring, and it will somehow never be his fault. bitching and moaning about marsh and stott being in the lineup but you hated topper for not playing them enough. crying over the lack of protection but you happily threw Rhys out on his ass. pining after kody goddamn clemens like you didn't fucking hate seeing his ass in the lineup when he was on the team. ever since 2019, I have had to hate this fucking fanbase because of how they act about a player who has not done anything for us but who gets treated like they're going to build a statue of him in front of city hall. I knew, I knew back then they wouldn't win with him, and I hate the fact that I have to be vindicated because I want to win! I want this team to succeed! fuck, I even want him to succeed, but I'm sick to bastard death of him being treated like he's Jesus on the goddamn cross! whatever. whatever!!!
