The thing about the Maria and Henry scandal is that it was so stupidly avoidable. Over and over again, they were given the opportunity to not do what they did. Sir Thomas gave Maria full agency to go back on her engagement when he saw that she didn’t love Rushworth, but she didn’t. Henry didn’t need to go to London and see Maria, but he did. Maria was cold to him because she wanted nothing more to do with him and he didn’t walk away. He pressed on. He didn’t even want to have an affair — he was in love with Fanny! He had exactly zero need to fall in with Maria again and yet he did. And she gave the final push. It’s like a Greek tragedy. At once so avoidable and so unavoidable.

TMA!Soulmark AU where everyone has a matching mark with their platonic soulmate, their ultimate bestie, the person who just gets them. A one true BFF sort of thing. Jon has never found his, though it kind of became less of a focus after Leitner died. He's horrified and surprised when Daisy bursts in, kills Mike Crew, and just stares at Jon in shock and horror.
"Daisy!" He says, his hands in the air. "Now, look, I know what you must think, but you have to listen to me-
"You can't be fucking serious." She says, her voice flat. She slowly begins lowering her gun.
Jon notices where her eyes are, following them to his arm. He's only wearing a short sleeve right now, thanks to the fact that he and Georgie are pretty much the same size and he doesn't really care about his appearance at the moment. He hadn't paid much attention to the soulmark on his arm in a while, but right now it's on full display, taking up all of Daisy's attention.
He looks back at her as she slowly holsters her gun. Jon is careful to keep him hands up, even if it strains his bandages just a bit. "Daisy...?"
At a snail's pace, she slips off her jacket and rolls up the sleeve on her left arm. Jon almost falls off his chair again when he sees his soulmark perfectly mirrored on her bicep.
She breathes harshly, and they finally make eye contact. "Sims?" She says, the growl he's so used to hearing in her voice tapering off.
He gulps. "Ah..." Jon notes that his hands were slowly drifting down, so he puts them back up. "Um, I suppose all I can say is, uh, hello?" He tries a weak smile.
Daisy gives him a tired glare. Yeah, he probably deserves that.

The amount of luck it is for isekai characters to be transmigatted into a fictional world as a certain person(villain, villainess, hero, ect.) And for everyone in that world to simply accept that the person changed instead of thinking its a skin walker of sorts or shapeshifter is quite, lucky.

Ladies we should be working together not against each other. If you talking to or with a guy and find out you're getting played because is talking to hella girls, has a girl, is married, in a relationship, etc. alert the other(s) too, so you can both take out the trash. Whatever he tells you is probably a lie.
Its way past time we join forces.
