Oooo do you have a favourite queen of Henry VIII - SIX version or otherwise?
I mean, Anna von Kleve is an absolute legend, she did what she had to do and outlived literally all of them. What a queen. Got rich and helped run the court, I believe, without being under the king's thumb, because she wasn't his wife and lived in a palace of her own. I know the most about her.
But I do want to know more about Catherine Howard, the fifth wife. Her story is filled with such pain disguised as pride and vanity in the SIX musical, and then you think about how she was just thirteen, and how many people must have shared her story, blamed for something they had no control over. History.
Hey history side of tumblr got anything please?

[ID: Fourteen digitally sketched panels in greyscale and green.]
[Panel 1: Locksmith's foot, taking a step against the grey gradient background cast by the burning Manor. SFX: step (ellipses) step (ellipses)]
[Panel 2: Locksmith's headless body staggers (SFX: stagger).]
[Panel 3: Locksmith's body falls forward with SFX: thump, revealing The Jack standing behind it, holding Locksmith's head and looking devastated.]
[Panel 4: The Jack turns Locksmith's head around in his hands. The viewer can see Locksmith's eyes are dark and his mouth is slack; it is lifeless. The Jack wheezes, "(ellipses) hhHah (ellipses)"]
[Panel 5: The Jack, with a stained, disturbed smile and a desperate look in his eyes, begins to laugh uncontrollably.]
[Panel 6: The Jack's laughter continues as he turns and chucks Locksmith's head away, past where The Skull is kneeling and the bullet hole in the ground. In the background, fire is still pouring out of the windows of Becile Manor.]
[Panel 7: The Jack, oily tears streaming down his face, throws his head back, laughing.]
[Panel 8: The Jack lurches forward, dropping his face into his hands, as the laughter changes to sobbing with a hiccup. Hare's hands reach toward The Jack as he falls forward.]
[Panel 9: The Jack, head bent forward and on his knees, clings to Hare, who kneels beside him and hugs/steadies him. The Jacks says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry (em-dash)" Hare comforts him, saying, "I know, Jacky. I know."]
[Panel 10: The Jack, still curled up on himself, says, "H-he was g-gonna (italics) kill (plain text) Skull (em-dash)" Hare rests a hand on The Jack's back, starting to cry himself, and says, "Skully's fine. You saved him." In the background, The Skull blinks, coming back to reality, and says "What (ellipses) Where did (ellipses)" There is a green glow coming from the left distance behind The Skull.]
[Panel 11: The Skull turns his head, brows lowering in concern as he notices the green glow. It grows in intensity, casting green highlights onto The Skull. No text.]
[Panel 12: Locksmith's body, on its knees, jerks. It gives off green lightning and a violently green glow from its chest and neck. In the background, The Skull starts to get to his feet, watching this. No text.]
[Panel 13: Backlit by the green glow, the inverter on his chest glowing, and looking terrified, The Skull whips back around and yells, "(all caps) Get down!"]
[Panel 14: A green explosion goes off, cored with white. The Skull lunges forward, trying to shield Hare and The Jack from it as they huddle together, everyone gritting their teeth and squeezing their eyes closed. The linework is faded and motion blurred under the green light. End ID]

Messages I got from each Queens' song from "Six: The musical":
No Way: Don't put up with the bull-shit of an asshole. Stand up for yourself and prove him wrong.
Don't lose Ur Head: Your actions have consequences, even if claim you act like this to have some fun.
Heart of Stone: Just because someone appears weak on the outside, doesn't mean they aren't strong on the inside.
Get Down: Your self-worth is determined by how much you love yourself, not by the lies of a hater.
All you Wanna Do: True love is when two people love each other frankly, not when one side takes advantage of the other.
I Don't Need Your Love: Don't rely on a toxic person for your survival, especially when that person doesn't treat you with the respect you deserve.
