#I do want to be a lawyer tho

[cayalexs]

In my fourth year of undergrad and I REALLY don’t want to start applying to universities again and I just want to start working but apparently you need a “law degree” to “practice law”.

#I don’t want to go to law school #I do want to be a lawyer tho #do you see my issue #uni life #student #law school

I don't not mean this offensively at all but is blows my mind that you are a lawyer but also writing jjk fics bc I work at a law firm and cannot for the life of me imagine any of the lawyers that work there writing fanfiction LOL kudos to u seriously I know how busy schedues can get due to court dates haha

im working in like. big city criminal law stuff right now and have been told by people in my office that i come off as a very deadpan and straight-laced legal nerd so i don't think the people who know me from my attorney life are imagining me writing jjk fanfic in my free time either

#I've got a friend who's clerking for a federal judge rn who's also a big fandom person tho she doesn't write #the legal sphere in general really does try to consume your entire life and i sort of hate that part of the business #like i like being a lawyer but i don't like how aggressively it tries to occupy your whole life #it makes offices very cultish #i like having boundaries in life and i have plenty of friends in my office but like. i have a life outside of it too that i want to keep. #and lawyers are so up their own ass about professional reputation that fandom shit is almost never discussed in a legal environment #you could not waterboard it out of me that I write fanfic for fun at work oh my god #it's not that i'm ashamed of it to be clear i'm proud of my stories i just don't know any of them well enough to trust them yet #lawyers are assholes so often holy shit #like not all of us. some of the nicest people i have ever met are lawyers. but the culture breeds a lot of very big and fragile egos #probably more lawyers than you'd think are into fandom stuff but they absolutely do not bring that shit up #i'd like to think i'll be doing fanfic and fandom stuff for years. it's just a great community and i really really love doing it. #i'm also a kick ass lawyer tho so i'm probably gonna be doing some pretty serious shit at work and just also being a fanfic writer. #but yeah court is exhausting and chaotic and i've been in it every day for like two weeks now so feel free to shoot me

[stillresolved]

do i watch the a*tla live action series or nah?

#ferre said something i hope it was dumb ( ooc. ) #asking for a friend #the friend is ME.... #i've heard it's terrible. #and since i'm almost done with a shop for k*illers....i need something new to watch #and i kinda...want to see what ppl are talking about #THIS IS ALL TO SAY THO #if u haven't ever seen at*la....just watch the cartoon you won't miss ANYTHING #i do have other series i need to watch.... #like finishing the tale of the nine tailed fox #and doctor lawyer.... #and ps*ycho pass too!!

being a yugioh fan who is also in the know about Video Games is awkward bc konami is constantly putting out bangers for yugioh and then there's silent hill and metal gear fans who are treated so poorly they would rather eat glass than get a new game managed by konami

#very sad i do not want to give konami my money but THEIR YUGIOH DIVISION? BANGERS MUCH OF THE TIME... #bloober team disaster development game. silent hill remaster comic sans replacement #whatever they did to kojima even tho im not crazy huge on him. despite loving mgs. WHATEVER THEIR PACHINKOS ARE ABOUT #THEIR MONEY HUNGRY LAWYERS.

Isn't it fun that your parents put so much pressure on you even though you are severely mentally ill and simply can't deal with so much stuff at the same time that you lose it and yell at your mother that it is time for her to grow up and do her job and not let me do everything for her and now you are so overwhelmed and angry that you are crying like a pathetic idiot in your room.

#everything bad ever happening to me was cos of my parents #this religion bullshit that is putting so much fucking pressure on me and having to handle #uni and being my parents lawyer #translator #german tutor and fucking everything puts pressure on me #they act like I am super mature and shit even tho mentally it feels like I am fucking 12 cos that when I had to start helping my parents #with fucking everything and I am fucking tired #I want to fucking scream #I deserve a fucking break being an adult should be fun too not being mummys and daddys caretaker cos they only had a kid to do everything #for them #tw mental instability #tw mental illness #tw mental breakdown #tw vent #tw christianity #tw religion mention

Far from rejoicing, Anne’s execution haunted the ambassador for weeks to come, as he struggled to comprehend who was responsible for her judicial murder.

Anne’s death was, to the ambassador, utterly unnecessary, and he wrote, “May God permit that this may be his [Henry’s] last folly.”

“the English Messalina, or Agrippina”

“certain facts concerning the Messalina [...]  heard her say that she could not imagine who could have made her lose the King's favour and love save me, for she pretends that from the very moment of my arrival at this court, the King no longer looked upon her with the same eyes as before. I confess that I was rather flattered by the compliment, and consider myself very lucky at having escaped her vengeance; for kind-hearted and merciful as she is, she would without remorse have cast me to the dogs”

“ I told her besides that although the device of the lady who had preceded her on the throne was "The happiest of women," I had no doubt she herself would fully realise that motto. “

“That God looked more into the intentions than into the deeds of men, and now she had a better opportunity than when the King's concubine was alive, since there was a question of depriving the bastard (Elizabeth) and making her (Mary) heir to the Crown.”

“Cromwell said to me about a week ago that the great and almost excessive love and affection that the English have always shown for the Princess has so increased of late, especially since the arrest of the concubine”

so...what’s the grounds for this assertion? the grounds are, apparently, a very generous interpretation of chapuys being bent out of shape that elizabeth wasn’t, contrary to reports he’d apparently received, declared to be the daughter of henry norris and anne boleyn-- because this would have effectively disbarred her from the english throne forever, meaning mary’s chances at gaining it would ostensibly become greater (or at least, that if mary remained a bastard in status, she would still outrank elizabeth insofar in at least indisuptably having henry viii’s paternity):

As he wrote to Charles, “The executioner’s sword and her own death were virtually to separate and divorce man and wife. However, if such was their intention it strikes me that it would have been a far more decent and honest excuse to allege that she had been married to another man still alive.”

Anne’s death was, to the ambassador, utterly unnecessary, and he wrote, “May God permit that this may be his [Henry’s] last folly.”

this takes that quote vastly out of context, which is this:

The statute by which the concubine's daughter was constituted legitimate heiress to the Crown has been revoked, and she herself declared bastard, not indeed as the daughter of Master Norris, as might have been implied more honestly, but owing to her marriage with the King having been pronounced illegitimate on account of his having previously had connexion with her sister.On such grounds did the archbishop of Canterbury (Cranmer) pronounce the sentence of divorce one or two days before the execution of the concubine; of which sentence, however, there was no need at all, as you are aware, since the executioner's sword and her own death were virtually to separate and divorce man and wife. But if such was their intention it strikes me that it would have been a far more decent and honest excuse to allege that she had been married to another man still alive. (fn. n17) However that may be, it pleased God that by making such a statement a still greater abomination should become manifest, —one for which the King cannot find a possible excuse, since he himself cannot plead ignorance neque juris neque facté. May God permit that this may be his last folly.

anyway...a rather generous interpretation, again. is chapuys really referring to the execution of the woman whom, still after her death, he continually refers to as ‘the concubine’, as henry’s ‘last folly’? or is he referring to the marriage of henry & anne itself as the folly, as he has consistently insisted it was for years? my money’s on the latter.

‘far from rejoicing’, indeed:

I have not hitherto written, awaiting some certain issue of the affair, which, in my opinion, has come to pass much better than anybody could have believed, to the great disgrace [of the Concubine], who by the judgment of God has been brought in full daylight from Greenwich to the Tower of London, conducted by the duke of Norfolk, the two Chamberlains, of the realm and of the chamber, and only four women have been left to her.

These news are indeed new, but it is still more wonderful to think of the sudden' change from yesterday to today, and the manner of the departure from Greenwich to come hither

1533...there was nothing in chapuys that wouldn’t have rejoiced at anne boleyn’s death, by means fair or foul, and there’s little to suggest that changed in any way in the years to come:

The lady and her father, who are perfect Lutherans, abet him in this (le mectent en cecy), and the Pope must not think to have any influence over the King while the lady and the present Council reign, unless he will give the dispensation already mentioned. A sentence is the sovereign and only remedy, and the Queen says that the King would not struggle against it, if only from fear of his subjects, who are not only well disposed to your Majesty and the Queen, but for the most part good Catholics, and would not live in excommunication and under an interdict. The King would, therefore, be forced to obey the sentence. If a tumult arose, I do not know if the Lady, who is hated by all the world, would escape with her life and jewels.

The month fixed in the brief sent to the King is nearly passed, and there are no signs of his obeying it. A sentence only would be of effect. If, meanwhile, the Pope would decree a good excommunication against the Lady if she did not stay away from Court, the King would have less occasion to complain than if it were decreed against himself, and the people more liberty of speaking against her, and remonstrating with the King.

and there’s chapuys soliciting an excommunication against anne, but not henry. tell us more about chapuys’ "distaste and disbelief” against henry...? 

#i don't feel that [redacted] knows her own subject #at least not insofar as his hatred for anne; which certainly did not die with her; lol #it was certainly great enough to 'rejoice' at her downfall #way before all this he said he wanted a censure to be published against her so that it would 'follow her wherever she went' #he wanted her hounded to the ends of the earth; it was quite literally his fantasy/dream for some time for that to occur and you can read #it between the lines of how he reports on public hatred for her #'i doubt if the lady would be able to escape with her life and her jewels' #treating chapuys as the infallible moral centre of the corrupt tudor court sure is...something to do #if chapuys was far from rejoicing #it was because these events didn't lead to mary's reinstatement as heir as he had (humiliatingly; no doubt) promised both the emperor and #mary herself #not because he had any qualms about anne's execution and those of the five men accused alongside her #there is no 'rehabilitation' for chapuys in my view #yes; it is important to remember that he was intelligent and well studied in the humanities and even a lawyer #that doesn't make him any less of a wank and pedant; tho #or any less than what he was #which was a bitter-ass misogynist with a savior/white knight complex for royal women he admired

You know Hugh is a very fun character to think about because even though his current name is literally “Hugh Mann the human man” he is actually a non-binary changeling who closer identifies as a lesbian than he does straight, even when using all-masculine terms for himself.

When you can shape shift gender gets messy

#remembering the time before his party members knew he could shapeshift and hugh said wistfully #-i love being a lesbian- #and they all side-eyed him like hmmm #(because he introduced himself as HUGH MAN THE HUMAN MAN and obvs they were like YEAH DOUBT THAT BUDDY) #djdhdh i miss playing hugh but theres literally nothing more to do with him #now i just play his depressed 11 y/o son who wants to be a criminal defense lawyer when he grows up #his sons name is huju #(hugh jr) #and huju was an accident #somehow hugh got pregnant #even tho his wife is a cis woman #and the rest of his party are like HUGH. WE DO NOT WANT DETAILS DONT YOU DARE #personal #dnd
