the other underrated best bit about wolf hall is that henry viii is clearly written as a outright monster but no-one told damian lewis who half the time is playing henry straight for comedy. and that's what makes henry more of a monster because he's so fucking oblivious about how awful he is and no-one else at court is laughing. but also. he's prancing around his chambers talking about dressing up like a shepherd boy or one of the magi when he goes to meet anne of cleves because she obvs won't recognise him, and that is comedy gold.

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.
