A.J Pollard’s biography on Edward IV was so cringe lol (generic; minor but frustrating inaccuracies; intensely judgmental at times and oddly dismissive at others while never considering the broader context; entirely diminished and trivialized Elizabeth Woodville as both queen and wife of his main subject in the name of "defending" her; created a false dichotomy between Edward and Henry VII’s styles of ruling and lauded the latter at the former’s expense even though Henry literally followed Edward’s example for the very things Pollard was criticizing Edward for; had a downright nonsensical and thoroughly misleading conclusion about Edward’s legacy & Richard’s usurpation that was based entirely on hindsight, Pollard's own assumptions, and the complete downplaying Richard’s agency and actions to emphasize what Pollard wrongly and misleadingly claimed were Edward's so-called 'failings', etc, etc)

I wanted to buy his book on Henry V but after reading this shitshow and the synopsis of that book, im guessing it's going to be 10x worse, so...no thanks

#history media #this was written months ago im posting it to get it out of my drafts #it wasn't necessarily BAD. it was generic and readable. but it was very disappointing and misleading and its conclusion was just nonsense #listen I have no patience for the dumbfuck idea that edward somehow had the ultimate responsibility for his own son's deposition because #of his 'policies' during his reign. like I said it's based fully on hindsight and entirely devoid of actual context. it's bafflingly stupid #literally everyone expected Edward V to succeed his father and 'both hoped for and expected' (Croyland's own words) a successful reign #Edward V's deposition was richard and solely Richard's fault lol this should not be difficult to understand #the reason Richard's usurpation was possible in the first place was bcause everyone expected E5 to succeed and didn't expect Richard #do to what he did. nothing would have happened without his initiative and decisions. it had nothing to do with Edward's 'policies' #Edward's policies were fine. henry vii - who pollard vaunts to no end - literally *followed* them #and claiming that he failed to unite England under the Yorkist dynasty is just plain stupid #buddy if he truly failed at that then neither Richard III nor Henry VII would have thrones lol. both emphasized continuity with #him when aiming for the throne. like the whole point of 1483-85 was that it was a conflict WITHIN the 'Yorkist' dynasty #it was not an external threat against it. #'his legacy failed' his legacy didn't fail his brother destroyed it (while also presenting himself as his heir because logic what's logic?) #henry's victory was very much the triumph of his legacy (a claimant chosen by his supporters as the husband of his daughter) #like this is really not my interpretation it is literally what happened #i'm not trying to glorify e4 but his son did inherit the throne in a more advantageous circumstances than any other minor king of england #and frankly than most other adult kings. dumping blame on Edward's literal corpse rather than acknowledge Richard's agency is so tasteless #the problem isn't that edward made a mistake in trusting his brother. many other kings including Henry V also trusted theirs. #the problem is that his brother was willing to break that trust in a way that was unprecedented and broke all political norms of that age #ie: Richard's usurpation occurred because of Richard who re-ignited conflict to make himself king. please drill this into your head #also btw this illogical 'interpretation' is based entirely on Charles Ross' hatred and derision towards Elizabeth Woodville and her family #if you agree with this inteterpretation you agree with his vilification of them 🤷🏻‍♀️ #anyway if you want a better interpretation that's actually analytical and looks a relevant rather than a flawed retrospective perspective #i would recommend rosemary horrox's 'richard iii: a study of service' and david horspool's 'richard iii: a ruler and his reputation' #anyway one last time: STOP downplaying Richard's agency and actions. historians who do this are stupid and embarrassing. bye. #(i should really post horspool's glorious takedown of ross and Pollard huh? it was very entertaining to read)

why is modern society so insistent on the de-gothification of characters besties, I hate this timeline

#this is about those stills of the remake of The Crow lmao #full disclaimer that I´ve only seen The Crow once and a million years ago and I´m not familiar with the comics #but the most iconic thing was the look of Brandon Lee + the music of the soundtrack #same with Queen of the Damned #that fusion was just GLORIOUS #and first it happened with Tiffany Valentine from Bride of Chucky #Don Mancini erased all of her gothy-ness from the first movie in the latest iterations of it and it's what made her so cool #and honestly believable in the first place #then that sequel of The Craft #and now this #I can see the same problem with the shift from Heath Ledger's joker and Jared Leto's joker #the new Eric Draven look is giving Jared Leto sldkfjglkj in the worst way #i hate this #everything is so CLEAN and without EDGE THESE DAYS #and when they try to make it EDGY it just looks silly as fuck because they try SO HARD

I said it once and I'll say it again. I do not like people painting Okumura's death as a "lol eat the rich" moment because Akechi didn't kill Okumura because he hates capitalism. He killed him because he was commanded to by another rich asshole.

No one benefited from Okumura's death besides Shido and the rest of the conspiracy.

like tbh okumura's death caused me to only hate shido (and to a lesser extent akechi) even more bc its designed to make the pt look bad, as well as take someone who shido believes is a threat out of the picture

its so frustrating when fans go 'um actually this is a good thing' when haru doesnt get closure for her father's actions and her whole arc is built around her being torn between forgiving him and being angry at him - like yeah eat the rich™️ or whatever but that isnt the fucking point

also after that boss fight i wouldve liked the satisfaction of changing his heart fuck you shido

#i also think the people who believe that are those who believe a glorious revolution will solve all their problems #shout out to the barely disguised tankie who followed me and reblogged a post like #'um actually the reign of terror wasnt that bad and youre just all being liberals for saying that' which ew

I really feel like some of you genuinely think that if all billionaires died tomorrow the world would magically be a better place. Their wealth doesn’t come with a will ensuring it’s redistributed fairly across the planet - it goes to their kin or organizations of their choice. The systems that allowed such vile people to maintain their status will still exist. 4 dead billionaires isn’t this victory you think it is - there’s 4 new billionaires inheriting their wealth and status. Killing every billionaire would just shuffle the pieces and players, it wouldn’t change the game.

#ra speaks #personal #sorry last I’ll post abt this until there’s some closure on the OceanGate issue #but like. ‘why should I care??’ well a dead billionaire is a dead body but a living one can still make choices #and a traumatized living billionaire may be reminded of their mortal humanity enough to see how they live the way we see it #and maybe. just maybe. channel all of that wealth into actual functional good in the world. #i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again #if your solution begins and ends with ‘bad people should die’ you are at best ignorant to how poor of an ethical code that is or at worst #knowingly encouraging the perpetuation of the current system where ‘bad’ is anyone inconvenient to the current authorities #violence does solve some problems! but not one of this scale and systemic magnitude! there is no glorious revolution! #there are only small victories won for by small acts by small people! #is it so wrong to imagine that someone of greater status in the hellmachine of capitalism may be able to win greater victories #should some event reopen their hearts and eyes to the horrors they have created and perpetuated?
