wow, god forbid women do anything :/

#remember when this aired and the entire tudorblr dash was a succession of debutantes asking their butlers to fetch them smelling salts... #vs. the fandom reaction to the cockfight in BE #i mean . maybe the difference is in how the audience in these scenes is meant to be audience surrogates #but both henry and anne were avid hunters and peacocks were a frequent feature of tudor banquets/ meals? #if you want to reach you can say this is insensitive bcus this particular peacock was meant as a gift or 'pet' but like ......... the #Oh the Humanity reaction was a bit much #it's not like the peacock was considered a sacred bird in tudor england #she's being a bit dramatic but she is also saying just remove them somewhere else i can't SLEEP #it's funny to see how selective the historic literacy is in this fandom #that animal cruelty being emblematic of the time is understandable but only when it comes to their own personal faves
