[henrysfox]

do y'all have any firstprince/rwrb fic pet peeves? something (even small) that makes you nope out of a fic immediately? i don't mean bad writing/mistakes but an actual plot point/headcanon made canon that you cannot stand? please tell me i'm nosy

PS. this is not a post made to shit on anybody's fics, i'm just curious so don't be mean

#firstprince #red white and royal blue #rwrb #i'll go first #i don't like june and nora already being together before alex and henry meet/get together (au or canon) #bc i think it takes away a lot from alex's story and his journey with his bisexuality #but what always makes me nope out of a fic is june and henry being besties (or everyone BUT alex being besties) and alex is just either thi #too cool for you guy who never interacts with them OR the annoying younger brother #like sometimes the premise of the fic is so cool and i can't wait to read it and then i see alex being the outsider of the group #while june and henry are bffs and i just nope out as fast as lighting

Margaret of Anjou’s visit to Coventry [in 1456], which was part of her dower and that of her son, Edward of Lancaster, was much more elaborate. It essentially reasserted Lancastrian power. The presence of Henry and the infant Edward was recognised in the pageantry. The ceremonial route between the Bablake gate and the commercial centre was short, skirting the area controlled by the cathedral priory, but it made up for its brevity with no fewer than fourteen pageants. Since Coventry had an established cycle of mystery plays, there were presumably enough local resources and experience to mount an impressive display; but one John Wetherby was summoned from Leicester to compose verses and stage the scenes. As at Margaret’s coronation the iconography was elaborate, though it built upon earlier developments.

Starting at Bablake gate, next to the Trinity Guild church of St. Michael, Bablake, the party was welcomed with a Tree of Jesse, set up on the gate itself, with the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah explaining the symbolism. Outside St. Michael’s church the party was greeted by Edward the Confessor and St. John the Evangelist; and proceeding to Smithford Street, they found on the conduit the four Cardinal Virtues—Righteousness (Justice?), Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude. In Cross Cheaping wine flowed freely, as in London, and angels stood on the cross, censing Margaret as she passed. Beyond the cross was pitched a series of pageants, each displaying one of the Nine Worthies, who offered to serve Margaret. Finally, the queen was shown a pageant of her patron saint, Margaret, slaying the dragon [which 'turned out to be strictly an intercessor on the queen's behalf', as Helen Maurer points out].

The meanings here are complex and have been variously interpreted. An initial reading of the programme found a message of messianic kingship: the Jesse tree equating royal genealogy with that of Christ had been used at the welcome for Henry VI on his return from Paris in 1432. A more recent, feminist view is that the symbolism is essentially Marian, and to be associated with Margaret both as queen and mother of the heir rather than Henry himself. The theme is shared sovereignty, with Margaret equal to her husband and son. Ideal kingship was symbolised by the presence of Edward the Confessor, but Margaret was the person to whom the speeches were specifically addressed and she, not Henry, was seen as the saviour of the house of Lancaster. This reading tips the balance too far the other way: the tableau of Edward the Confessor and St. John was a direct reference to the legend of the Ring and the Pilgrim, one of Henry III’s favourite stories, which was illustrated in Westminster Abbey, several of his houses, and in manuscript. It symbolised royal largesse, and its message at Coventry would certainly have encompassed the reigning king. Again, the presence of allegorical figures, first used for Henry, seems to acknowledge his presence. Yet, while the message of the Coventry pageants was directed at contemporary events it emphasised Margaret’s motherhood and duties as queen; and it was expressed as a traditional spiritual journey from the Old Testament, via the incarnation represented by the cross, to the final triumph over evil, with the help of the Virgin, allegory, and the Worthies. The only true thematic innovation was the commentary by the prophets.

[...] The messages of the pageants firmly reminded the royal women of their place as mothers and mediators, honoured but subordinate. Yet, if passive, these young women were not without significance. It is clear from the pageantry of 1392 and 1426 in London and 1456 in Coventry that when a crisis needed to be resolved, the queen (or regent’s wife) was accorded extra recognition. Her duty as mediator—or the good aspect of a misdirected man—suddenly became more than a pious wish. At Coventry, Margaret of Anjou was even presented as the rock upon which the monarchy rested. [However,] a crisis had to be sensed in order to provoke such emphasis [...]."

#historicwomendaily #margaret of anjou #my post #henry vi #yeah I don't necessarily agree with Laynesmith's interpretation (that it was essentially Marian with an emphasis on shared sovereignty) #which she herself says is 'admittedly very speculative' #as this book points out that interpretation tips the balance too far on the other side and has a somewhat selective reading #It's also important to remember that this interpretation was not really reflected across wider Lancastrian propaganda at the time #which isn't really talked about - let alone emphasized - as much by historians but remained focused on the King #For example: look at the pro-Lancastrian poem 'The Ship of State' which hails Henry VI as a 'noble shyp made of good tree' #and emphasizes how he was widely supported and defended by many great Lancastrian lords and the crown prince #but not Margaret who was entirely absent #also look at the book 'Knyghthode and Bataile' (presented to Henry) and Fortescue's various pro-Lancastrian texts in the 1460s #even the recording of that Yorkist trial which was iirc reported in the 1459 attainder #all of these were entirely conventional and highlighted the presence and importance of the King. Margaret was not emphasized. #so either the Lancastrians were impossibly inconsistent about what message they actually wanted to convey about the role of their own queen #or the Coventry pageants were not actually meant to emphasize Margaret in the lieu of Laynesmith's interpretation #and would not have been viewed in such a manner by contemporaries #I think we should also keep in mind that we don't really know what Henry VI's condition was like at the time of MoA's entry to Coventry #we know he had been injured in St. Albans and had only just recovered from his second illness #this is especially important to consider since we know he had also arrived at Coventry before Margaret but much more discreetly #and was not welcomed by any pageants that we know of. This is VERY unusual and can be best explained if we consider the fact that he #may have simply not been in the right state (be it physical or state of mind) for it at the time #in which case the pageants for Margaret should be viewed as more of a improvisation/cover-up/temporary measure to bolster prestige #or Henry may have deliberately taken a more discreet role to emphasize the position of his heir - especially important after the long wait #imo I think Kipling's interpretation (ie: that they addressed Margaret but really referenced the prince & heir) makes a lot more sense: #'Coventry [...] regarded Margaret's entry as a kind of triumph-by-proxy: the Queen entered the city but Coventry received its Prince' #though I think he tends to view Margaret as more of a cipher (and has a very questionable view of Henry VI) which I also don't agree with. #The pageants very much DID focus on and reference her but they most prominently emphasized her 'motherhood and duties as queen' #ie: I think Kipling and Laynesmith tip too far on opposite sides and I think this interpretation takes the most realistic middle ground

“Warwick launched his final bid at kingmaking, this time in alliance with Margaret of Anjou to restore Henry VI. He and Clarence landed in Devon while the King was in Yorkshire. Elizabeth (Woodville)’s initial reaction was to prepare for a siege in the Tower of London where she had already retired in expectation of the imminent birth of another child. But on 1 October news reached the capital that the King was preparing to set sail from Bishop’s Lynn, abandoning his kingdom. With no hope of imminent rescue, Elizabeth moved swiftly into the Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey with her mother and her daughters. She sent Abbot Thomas Millyng to advise the Mayor and Aldermen that she was surrendering the Tower, and consequently Henry VI, into their custody.

- J.L Laynesmith,  “Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight’s Widow” in “Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts” / “The Last Medieval Queens, English Queenship 1445-1503″

"Elizabeth (Woodville) at first fortified the Tower of London against the approaching Lancastrians, but then decided instead to hand over custody of the Tower to the mayor and aldermen of London while she went into sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. It was a move which not only protected her daughters, who were with her, but also saved London from attack, which perhaps explains some of the praise she later received. The author of 'The Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV, who claimed to have witnessed much of what he recorded, stressed

the right great trowble, sorow, and hevines, whiche [the queen] sustayned with all manar pacience that belonged to eny creature, and as constantly as hathe bene sene at any tyme any of so highe estate to endure; in the whiche season natheles she had browght into this worldc, to the Kyngs grcatystc joy, a fayrc son.

...When Edward (IV) arrived, there was a scene of family bliss, in which the queen's vulnerability and domesticity could be contrasted with his heroism.  The king was thus presented in an unusually human guise, which might appeal to readers familiar with such partings themselves throughout the civil wars:

The king comfortid the quene, and other ladyes ckc;  His swete babis ful tendurly he did kys;  The yonge prynce he behelde, and in his armys did bere. Thus his bale turnyd hym to blis.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #history #edward iv #mine #the wars of the roses #i have a major issue with the way this is viewed by the vast majority of people tbh #for one: so many people conveniently forget that she was the one who controlled and was apparently fortifying the ToL #(which included the captive Henry VI btw) #while she was literally 8 months pregnant #she only gave it up after she learned that edward iv was also fleeing. it's SO important and interesting #and yet most people either don't know about it or conveniently flash forward to when she entered sanctuary #and my second issue: SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING HISTORIANS tend to treat her flight to sanctuary as some kind of indication of her personalit #when the truth of the matter is that SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE #as david baldwin rightly pointed out -as an englishwoman of the gentry she did not have foreign resources shelter or support at her disposa #the way every queen before her (in theory for lots of them as it wasn't required) possessed #nor was elizabeth a valuable heiress (like anne Neville or her own daughter eoy) #not to mention the very obvious fact that she was heavily pregnant (and gave birth just a month later) with three very young daughters #like. literally what else was she supposed to do? where else was she supposes to go? #her vulnerability was unprecedentedly horrific and people & historians don't emphasize the comparative degree of it as much as they should #at that point elizabeth literally didn't have any other options other than sanctuary. it wasn't much of a choice #it's strange because elizabeth's status has been discussed a lot in theory but rarely discussed in terms of how it affected her in PRACTISE #and this is a key example of that #among many others

If only Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon counted in Catholic eyes, does this mean Mary wouldn't theoretically consider any of his other wives 'real' stepmothers, as such? If she did, how would she rationalise defying the Pope's will, whilst upholding the papal authority to sanction the marriage of her parents?

She probably never did, based on the wording of that Act in question. Her attitude towards papal authority during her own reign was...contradictory in other ways, however.

#anon #the pope like you have to send reginald pole back i have to try him for heresy mary like hmmmmmmmmmmm i don't think i will...... #'i don't like this pope i'd like to return him with the receipt in exchange for a new one' = kings and queen regnants for centuries. #so basically she never did but AB was the only one about whom she was honest about this? oddly funny if funny is the right word for this #since she scanted her courtesy to kh as well but not some of her others stepmothers #it would suggest that in those cases that her behaviour was more inspired by personal dislike #*other #i don't want to say that was universal either bcus that was not necessarily the case however like ...yeah...the catholics among which #upheld specifically the validity of henry's marriage to koa did not fare very well in henrician england #you would think maybe bona fides would apply to edward vi (or in some cases even elizabeth... #sources loyal to the papacy actually said pretty early on that the 'faith of the mother' was sufficient ) #altho it would be hard to argue jane and henry were not aware england was in schism #(elizabeth was born beforehand technically) #but as for mary she didn't really need bona fides and might have even had mixed feelings about her supporters #using that argument in the 1530s... #as far as she was concerned pope julius had granted the dispensation and pope clement had confirmed it #that was more airtight papal legitimacy than frankly most prince/sses had #now if paul iv wanted to be a REAL bitch he could have been like yk what. wild card. that's cancelled #confirmed? affirmed? upheld? whatever the word is

One of the strangest critiques I see over The Dark Descent is that it made everyone straight and...I don't have the original novel for comparison, but I'm not certain that ANYONE in that book (except for MAYBE Judge Frankenstein) was straight

#something something 'people only acknowledge queer subtext when it's two men' #the dark descent of elizabeth frankenstein #you have elizabeth literally going on page and saying 'i'm not certain i can feel romantic love for anyone' #and creating a found family with Mary and Adam #also even with Henry like...Elizabeth frequently talks about his love for Victor and her love for Victor #i really don't think that Henry's straight in this novel #and it COULD be more explicitly queer but like...again. elizabeth saying 'I'm not certain I can feel romantic love for anyone' -- #she's either aromantic or a lesbian #and that's. fine. #she's queer. she's a canon queer character. #you have justine also saying that she doesn't want marriage or children #and it COULD be a distrust of men in general #in keeping with the novel's take on male/female relationships (which I have mixed feelings about) #but also. like. if she were a man. we would be saying she was gay. #and i don't see why that has to change. #and Mary? #you have three female characters who both feel limited-at-best attraction to men. #but NO the novel's STRAIGHT

DSAF characters as Phones

including like i think all the human characters except the health inspector, but excluding all the phoneheads

I kept most of them non-era specific!

Jack - Nokia 3310

Look. Nokia 3310 is indestructible, and so is Jack with the way he comes back. Y'get it.

Dave - SPECIFICALLY a phone receiver

this is specifically bc of navy-leader's phone art. actually i think he made jack a nokia too??? im not sure but like making dave a fucking phone receiver and the cable his neck. my god. you don't want to know how much it brainrotted me

Henry - Antique wall telephone

partially picked bc of splatoon but also i think it really fits Henry. Also like i guess he deserves a cool-lookin phone (he doesn't but it still fits)

Dee - Princess telephone

Admittingly, I didn't have any other phones I can think of that could fit her vibes except garfield phone. cat lady moments. Other than that, the princess telephone was another retro telephone brand that i dont really see a lot. can't find a nice striped one though

Matt - Flip Phone (no specific model)

No specific reasoning to this tbh i jsut like matt and thought i'd give him flip phone. But also wouldn't you want to close his face on him? stop that man from talking? Now you can!

Jimbo - Brick Cell Phone

I'm not caught up on ANY jimbo lore tbh but i think brick cell phones fit his vibe. originally i was gonna give him the ghostbuster cell phone bc like yknow. shadow jimbo (still don't know shit about him)

Ronaldo - Vintage Pizza Inn Landline Telephone Novelty Pizza Man Phone

also not entirely caught on his lore but like he's a funny pizza dude who may or may not cook with human flesh! he derves a funny pizza dude phone!

#DSAF #Grave's Digs #ok. tagging. #Jack Kennedy #Dave Miller DSAF #Henry Miller DSAF #Dee Kennedy #Matt Virginia #Jimbo DSAF #Ronaldo DSAF #do jimbo and ronaldo even have last names. i forgot. #anyways feel free to share your own phone headcanons with me i think it's fun! #walt n co are not in here either because like. you already know #lowkey made this thread on twt originally bc i don't see enough phone heads that AREN'T rotary dial #like even touch-tone telephones are rare </3 #like im sure dt definitely has more varied ones but i'm not ready to play it yet. i think it's going to set off another hyperfixation and #i am NOT ready for that. #reminds me i need to get more dsaf 3 phone guy lore ESPECIALLY roger's. he's the only guy i hadn't gotten #ok end of ramble. enjoy

i will simply by virtue of who i am read aromanticism into things, but mash really does make it astonishingly easy for me

#MASH #if we're looking at the romantic relationships id say klinger and soon-lee #have most everyone else beat #if not everyone -- klinger himself is also just (imo) the most romantic character both in terms of how he views romance #and how the narrative offers him to embody romance-as-theme #potter and mildred is very sweet and has that *we've been together for so long we simply know the beats of one another* thing #but is also a relationship in which one of the parties spent several years going to different wars and practising army medicine #(this is subjective but the *I cheated on mildred confession* -- I choose to ignore it... I simply don't think it works/does anything) #(and without that there's already so much to unpack in their relationship to one another) #next in line id say bj and peg and that is... interesting........ he cheats on her once and considers leaving her another time #this could be read many ways but i choose to believe that those situations wouldnt have happened if he hadn't been drafted #but they did happen + the jealousy plots + some of the overbearing ways he treated hawkeye #(again last of those can choose to relate or not to relate to his marriage i choose to relate them) + general lashing out #but i do currently fall in the place of reading that relationship as coming out of love and them trying their best #then we've got henry and trapper who I think like their wives (but to varying degrees also bad-mouth them + cheat on them) #and will also say there that apart from the one scene with flagg there don't seem to be indications that they cheated outside the war either #(i say this -- i could be misremembering -- it seemed like the three-night-stand with trapper lady was before his marriage?) #(anyway we're newish fans here there could be things ive forgotten) #then we've got frank burns and... *i happen to believe in the sanctity of marriage no matter how ugly or disgusting it gets* #(paraphrased but you get the picture) #now for the ones who don't end the narrative with romantic partners: mulcahy charles hawkeye margaret radar #mulcahy is never given a *what if romance were to make you doubt yourself as a priest* narrative and am pretty glad of that #his tension gets to be more complicated without that imo #charles has a couple of romance-ish arcs that are snuffed out (the un-wedding is... very interesting very aromantic vibes) #+ him and his Responsibilities which is about the most unromantic way of looking at it as you can get (also strong ace vibes) #radar is slightly trickier in that he's in that odd space of being considered adolescent but then also not and loses his virginity 100 times #he seems to want a partner but although the conversation with the nurse in his last outing is sweet he's noticeably on that front #not fully *allowed* to just... grow up -- recognises that as a problematic phrasing on purpose because i feel like with radar #sex and romance is often tied to the idea of adulthood... i like seeing him as aroace and the space is there for it for sure! #(redefining adulthood for himself?)

@trapton asked: ❝ you can't help yourself, can you? Hah wrong blog again but will to henry ❞ ( "you can't. . ." prompts )

The words were almost swallowed by another hungry kiss. Almost, if Will hadn't managed to strike Henry just right. Eyes searched, then averted, although he never left the space. His grip at Will's waist remained. It was too early for this, not even time to open for the day. Really, they were barely in the door before Henry had been stifling the urge. And, for all he knew, William had noticed right then. It wouldn't have surprised him to be read like a magazine by his business partner. "No different than you." His voice was steady, if breathless, gaze returned even as it dipped beneath Will's own. Nose, mouth, jaw, the column of his throat. It was the easy response—throw it back at him. Don't admit that he had been thinking of Will since closing the day prior, driving himself crazy with visions behind his eyelids. Definitely don't admit there were nights he was near sleepless with it. Pretend he doesn't already have some inkling of it to save himself the embarrassment. "If I'm wrong, you can go," said even as his hand reached up and slid into his hair. Tangled. Twisted. Pulled. Dragged him back down into another messy, open-mouthed kiss. As humiliating as Henry's own neediness might be, there was some comfort in knowing it wasn't one-sided.

#even though every source you can find on Henry V basically ends with#'say what you want about the guy but he REALLY loved his siblings'

not me just reading Michael Hicks tearing Henry IV and V a new one for not marrying off John and Humphrey earlier and claiming it led to the failure of the Lancastrian dynasty. thisisfine.gif

...but Hal wasn't married either? And they probably didn't get married for the same reason (busy with the war and on shaky ground when it came to eligibility for marriage)? Like I absolutely see the criticism when it comes to Henry IV because really they shouldn't have even gotten to Hal's reign unmarried, but... there were reasons for it. They all basically married the only logical options they had, because as far as I'm aware no one else was really lining up to ally themselves with them. Plus we don't have a good idea for when Humphrey's children were born, because of the whole mess with Antigone's birth date not making sense for when she had her first child, so that could also have been a factor.

The lack of legitimate heirs absolutely did screw them over, because yeah, would have been really helpful to have someone between Henry and Richard of York when the time came. But of course, considering Humphrey's grandson was a Yorkist we don't necessarily know if it would have turned out in the Lancaster's favor or if we'd just have had more people making claims.

Seriously, of all criticisms about Hal, he went for that one?

#Henry V #John Duke of Bedford #Humphrey Duke of Gloucester #I have a post (in my queue obviously because everything is lost in either my queue my likes or my tabs I need to stop doing this) #talking about the marriage problem between the two Henrys #but Humphrey and John needed to marry for alliance and money and as far as I'm aware there wasn't many women eligible for that at the time #And the women they did marry was basically as good as they were going to get #But I don't know a lot of the general European landscape at the time so maybe there were plenty of options #I mean if you went to be really snide Henry IV should have married one of his daughters to a Mortimer a la Henry VII but y'know #Honestly everything about the Lancasters is just disastrous marriages #Just that family in general really #Though it would be funny for Hal to be so ace he forgets John and Humphrey need to get married
