something I find especially entertaining about Edward IV's reign is how Scandalous™ it was lol

he married a woman “whose origins broke all established conventions for English queenship” in a secret ceremony without consulting any of his lords and then made it everyone else's problem. he committed regicide, he committed fratricide; he was accused of bastardry, he was accused of bigamy and a 19-year-long sham marriage, he was accused of using necromancy against his subjects, he was accused of being enchanted by witchcraft by both his wife and his mother-in-law (multiple times). his own mother was said to "rule the king as she pleased" in the early years of his reign. he knew he was hot and actively milked it for money. he was vain as fuck: “he was wont to show himself to those who wished to watch him, and he seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature to onlookers”. he knew everything about everyone. "he was more favourable than other princes to foreigners". he was “fond of boon companionship, vanities, debauchery, extravagance and sensual enjoyments”; he was "thought to have indulged in his passions and desires too intemperately”; "it was ever feared he was not chaste”. his subjects publicly gossiped about his sex life, his doctors thought he was insane. NOBODY understood how he was still competent despite all this.

honestly, who was doing it like him?

#(the quote is by J.L. Laynesmith)#Edward IV #my post #the original post was written as a drunken shitpost but it's still 100% true #henry viii could NEVER. Even Humphrey of Gloucester pales in comparison I'm sorry to say #(EW was also accused of controlling both Edward and the country but I don't want to get into the propaganda against her right now - however #true or false it may have been in reality - so I didn't include it. HOWEVER it's absolutely true that Edward gave her a great deal of #unconventional authority by appointing her in royal councils for the heir and spare in her own right during her tenure as queen. So there #was an existing basis for the accusations against her even though they were obviously ultimately extremely unfair and prejudiced #and meant to denigrate her)#Elizabeth Woodville #Cecily Neville #english history #its kinda funny how historians often emphasize his womanizing (which very obviously happened tho it's difficult to say to what extent) when #talking about his over-the-top lifestyle. But as we can see: Croyland - who was best-placed to know - emphasizes a wider variety of things #that worried/scandalized his contemporaries. Edward sleeping around was just one of many (and the last on Croyland's list)#I don't necessarily think it should be highlighted as much as it is #(also funnily enough 'sensual enjoyments' was also used to describe *Richard III* on his northern progress during his reign lol)

Intro

*Tap tap*

"This thing on?"

"Ok.. good."

"Er- Hello! My name is Dr Sami Brown. We have been approved by the O5 council to make this tumblr account and answer any questions about the SCP that you have and to talk to some of the doctors!"

"God, I hope this doesn't backfire."

-------------------------Secure. Contain. Protect.-------------------------

(ooc)

Hello!

This is an SCP rp account based on characters I've found on TikTok.

Characters ill be rping as:

Dr Theron Sherman ( https://www.tiktok.com/@site_42?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Dr Blue ( https://www.tiktok.com/@starboyblue?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Dr Dick Richards + all clones ( https://www.tiktok.com/@wow_its_ian?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Dr Jack Bright (Specifically https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_rook_scp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Dr Sami Brown ( https://www.tiktok.com/@sleepy_sami?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

O5-11 (Specifically https://www.tiktok.com/@overseer.greivs?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Researcher Andrews ( https://www.tiktok.com/@n0vusparr0tus?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Dr Conners ( https://www.tiktok.com/@s3renaquin42?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc )

Rules:

Do not rush me to post!

I will not be doing any non-canon ships/shipping the doctors together. Most i will do is some extreme Friend-Zoning.

No NSFW. I'm a minor and so is the person who plays Sami Brown.

Do not take everything I say for the truth! If i say something in rp that contradicts something the IRL person said about the character, please let me know.

Follow up on the last rule: I will be taking into account things that have already been addressed for the characters that the IRL person said (Ex.: Dr Sherman is Asexual, Dr Richards has clones, etc.)

If there is another character you'd like to have rp, let me know.

Oc's are welcome! Also, please let me know if you'd been interested in rping with my character Dr Varitas.

May add more rules, otherwise, have fun!

I'm still honestly shocked we got the council of Kangs in a fucking movie. Yeah the CGI is wonky but twenty years ago we would've never seen it. Also I need to see the behind the scenes of Johnathan as all those Kangs variants

Yola to Perform at American Music Awards 2022!

Photo credit: Joseph Ross Smith

Yola continues her meteoric rise with the confirmation of her performance at the ‘2022 American Music Awards,’ which will air live from the Microsoft Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu. Yola will be the SONG OF THE SOUL featured performer, which spotlights an emerging, mission-driven artist that has inspired change and invoked social justice through their lyrics. To celebrate the honor, she will share an electrifying rendition of her song, “Break The Bough.” Written in 2013 following her mother’s funeral, it is a homage to her mother, sharing an imagination of her afterlife. Her poetic lyrics are a wish for her late mother to find a joy she couldn’t find on earth, and an anthem for anyone dealing with complicated grief. With a genre bending mix of R&B, soul and classic pop, the performance is set to be one of the most epic of the evening.

Commenting on this landmark moment Yola stated, “I have long dreamed of performing at the American Music Awards, and honored to be included during the “SONG OF THE SOUL” moment. ‘Break The Bough’ creates a loving false construct of what I hope my mother experienced in her afterlife. A mix of all the things she held dear and brought her happiness during her life. Specifically, her pre-windrush Barbados childhood, disco and Sci-fi.” Yola added, “I hope the song brings a little peace and joy to anyone who has lost someone close to them regardless of how challenging the relationship may have been.”

The song featured on her pivotal sophomore album, “Stand For Myself,” which was twice GRAMMY nominated, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. “Stand For Myself” drew widespread critical acclaim.

The Black British genre fluid superstar this year made her acting debut when she portrayed Sister Rosetta Tharpe in Baz Luhrmann’s musical drama “Elvis,” who is played by Austin Butler, alongside Tom Hanks, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Alton Mason. Her role received widespread praise with support from New York Magazine, Rolling Stone and Harper’s Bazaar.

Yola has since continued her meteoric rise. From joining The Recording Academy®'s Black Music Collective (BMC) Leadership Council alongside H.E.R. and Mickey Guyton to making her debut at Coachella, Yola defines her path and dashes expectation in her wake. Yola also recently appeared on a special CBS Saturday session at D.C’s historic Lincoln Theater. Watch her performance of “Stand For Myself” here.

More than 2,500 sign petition to save Sanderstead Library

A petition to keep Sanderstead Library open has attracted more than 2,500 signatures.

The petition demands that Croydon Council should “retain a…

Where exactly does the idea that "everyone hated the Woodvilles and were glad that Richard got rid of them" come from? Because the Croyland Chronicler is quite clear on the fact that:

“The duke of Gloucester received the same high office of Protector of the kingdom ... The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king would take place without fail ... Still, however, a circumstance which caused the greatest doubts was the detention of the king’s relatives and servants in prison; besides the fact that the Protector did not, with a sufficient degree of considerateness, take measure for the preservation of the dignity and safety of the queen.”

This doesn't strike me as a council who approved of Richard’s actions against the Woodvilles and were happy that they were finally out of the way, it strikes me as a council that was extremely sympathetic to their plight and very worried and baffled about what was happening to them. We also know that the council would reject Richard's demand to execute Anthony Woodville and Richard Gray, which clearly indicates that they did not just sympathize with the Woodvilles but were actively defensive of them as well.

#Elizabeth Woodville #the Woodvilles #15th century #english history #anthony woodville #my post #it also seems like even though the council agreed to appoint Richard as Protector #they were quite clear on the fact that they wanted Edward V to be crowned as quickly as possible ('without fail')#which is what they had all wanted directly after Edward IV's death as well #imo that DOES put a huge question mark on the popular idea that Edward IV supposedly appointed Richard 'Protector' on his deathbed #if Edward DID do that (and it isn't what he wanted in his 1475 will even though his heir was only 4 years old at the time)#why would his council randomly reject it in favor of crowning Edward V directly?#the Woodvilles and Richard were on very good terms throughout Edward's reign and Richard was by all accounts loyal and highly-regarded #so there's no reason to NOT give him the position. Unless ofc they were following Edward's will which didn't want a Protector for his son #which Rosemary Horrox also believes (see Richard III: A Study of Service)#and that's not even mentioning the contradictions with the Croyland Chronicle and Mancini regarding Edward's will + the council #Mancini says Edward IV named Richard Protector/Croyland mentions nothing of the sort but instead emphasizes Edward's executors #Mancini says the council were divided on whether to name Richard Protector or have a council / Croyland doesn't mention anything #like this but instead emphasizes that the council were 'all' united in the desire to see Edward V crowned as quickly as possible #etc

He warned the Council in November 1851 of the peculiar dangers that needed to be addressed there:

The aborigines of the north were a most numerous and powerful body, who required to be vigorously guarded against. They came in canoes and in large bodies from a place called the Big Sandy Island, whence they came in canoes across a sheet of water as smooth as Port Jackson. This island ought to be visited and examined.
