THE TUDORS + The execution of Thomas Cromwell
3x08 | The Undoing of Cromwell
"Chronicler Edward Hall recounts his execution:
“And the. xxviii. daie of luly was brought to the skaffold on the tower hill, where he saied these wordes folowyng.
I am come hether to dye, and not to purge my self, as maie happen, some thynke that I will, for if I should so do, I wer a very wretche and miser: I am by the Lawe condempned to die, and thanke my lorde God that hath appoynted me this deathe, for myne offence: For sithence the tyme that I haue had yeres of discrecion, I haue liued a synner, and offended my Lorde God, for the whiche I aske hym hartely forgeuenes. And it is not vnknowne to many of you, that I haue been a great traueler in this worlde, and beyng but of a base degree, was called to high estate, and sithes the tyme I came therunto, I haue offended my prince, for the whiche I aske hym hartely forgeuenes, and beseche you all to praie to God with me, that he will forgeue me. O father forgeue me. O sonne forgeue me, O holy Ghost forgeue me: O thre persons in one God forgeue me." (source)

Only to stop spirling on that other post BUT HES SO GORGEOUS.
Tbf, I've fancied him since the Tudors and he was Thomas Cromwell.
It also may be that I have a huge thing for mussing up fastidious people. So I wanna ruin him. Just a lil' bit.

Discovery is the only Star Trek series I haven't done a proper re-watch of, but I'm in the process of doing so now, so it's all fresh in my head by the time season 5 premieres. Anyway, I just have to say...Sarek might be the most bizarre thing in all of Star Trek.
