His Most Beloved Consort

George of Clarence: I’m scared.

You guys know the reason why The White Queen is better than all the rest of the Starz series is because it was produced by BBC, not Starz, right?

I wonder why Philippa Gregory and the writers of shows/movies inspired by her books hate women so much? Like, seriously, why? Elizabeth Woodville and her mother and daughter (Elizabeth of York) doing witchcraft -and the last one having an public affair with her uncle; Margaret Beaufort being a heartless bitch and murderer, Margaret being a crazy bitch, Catherine a liar, Anne a vengeful seductress who has sex with her brother, (I haven’t read the book but apparently an underage Elizabeth having an affair with Thomas Seymour instead of him grooming (or trying to) her). Even Mary Boleyn that Gregory loves so much is portrayed as an innocent virgin who falls in love with Henry VIII and has her son (another rumour that she believes is a fact) as if that’s the only way she could be good and likeable -that’s slut-shaming, my darlings. FYI, she could be sleeping with half Europe and would not change the fact that she’s great and lovable -but no, for them she had to be ‘pure’.

I hate this so much 🙈🙈🙈
