So now please step into hell with me in episode 2x05 "His Majesty's Pleasure" when Katie McGrath was on the Tudors and her character Elizabeth Webbe meets Henry VIII while she's in the forest with her husband and Henry VIII is like, "Cool, mine now," kisses her, and absconds with her back to the palace

Cut immediately to them boning down and Katie McGrath asking, "Are you really the king of England?"

And Henry VIII going, "No, I was only pulling your leg" and then NUTTING

And like first of all, it's based on a blatantly false rumour that Cromwell himself debunked

Second of all, they wasted Katie McGrath for THAT

and I guess there is no real point to this except what the fuck

so here's some promo stills with Katie McGrath looking gorgeous per usual and Henry Cavill being like "hehe my chicken nugget"

the bit is between me and literally no one else in 2010

me in 2010, a nerd who's writing Tudor courtiers in an AU Tudor Forum RP: y'know, I should write my dissertation on one of these nerds

also me: and maybe get a master's in England and base my entire field of study around these absolute dorks

also also me: and maybe get a PhD in it

me: that would be so fucking funny, what a good bit

Lots of

"Why the fuck is that citation there"

"Why the fuck didn't I cite this at the time"

" Have I ever actually had any thoughts ever"

"How is any of this coherent"

"How is this NOT LONGER"

"how the fuck is Word still betraying me and allowing me to institute American English spellings without highlighting them for me"

"why can't I just stop switching tenses in the middle of sentences"

and, the most prevalent

and the dude who saw my rainbow heart earrings and decided to ask me “Where are the LGBT people in Palestine”

and when I wished him a happy Sunday then put his camera in my face and asked me “Do you know what would happen if you wore those earrings in Gaza?”

to which I replied “I would be bombed by Israelis” because the IDF continues to bomb Gaza

and I can’t remember what happened after that but I do remember telling him to have a great day and patting him on the shoulder

and I don’t know if it was a hard pat but his parka did make a popping sound and he asked, “Did you just touch me?!”

and I said “I patted your shoulder”

and then felt such shame I had to peel away from the group because I thought I was gonna puke

why the fuck is calling for an end to bombing and a ceasefire a radical idea

why the fuck are people so shitty

Keep protesting. Keep calling for a ceasefire. Don’t let cowards who want that perfect sound bite stop you for doing what’s right.
