#the taming of the queen

[rosalinesurvived]

Tfw you’re married to an dangerous unstable butcher and made queen to this guy and everyone at your court waits for you to die too and you have nightmares about this man killing you as he killed his wives so you hide your religion and placate and love him and keep yourself a secret as best as you can and do everything right but you’re still in torment with these dreams and their judgement and they give you his dead wives’ jewels and clothes and castles so you have to wear the gowns of a murdered child whom you can’t even admit was innocent because her name was dragged through the mud so much and just as you think you’ve achieved his love and reunited his family he paints his dead wife in your clothes on the royal portrait and she is in your clothes as if you are the ghost, alongside all the others who came after her and this was the woman he abandoned in childbed, and all of this happens to you smack bang in the middle of public so you can’t even rage or grieve smhhh

#look objectively i know that phillipa gregory can barely be called a historical writer but DAMN #catherine parr #kateryn parr #she was holding shit together in that court #tudor era #jane seymour #katherine howard #catherine howard #henry viii #the taming of the queen #phillipa gregory #I WOULD’NT reccommend this book btw! you don’t need to read it! #its a barebrush detailing of kateryn parr but the ending is so wildly inane and i HAAATE thomas seymour and how they portrayed elizabeth #house of tudor

"i just want non-queers to just see me as a normal person just like them" cool good for you. meanwhile ive been a weird little freak since i was a kid and the world is gonna have to learn to accept me like i am or ill start burning shit

you can be down for simple assimilation for yourself but many of us just want to be respected as is because theres nothing wrong with being different. especially those of us who are also neurodivergent on top of queer or many other things people often ostracize in society.

if you want other queers to water themselves down or just completely close off parts of their identity and self expression so that you wont be associated with those ~freaks~ and can be more easily accepted by The Normies, then you are not caring about your fellow queers at all.

we arent doing any harm, and we should be pushing for people to accept others no matter how HARMLESSLY strange and unusual they may come across. challenging the norm is the only way to get more people accepted across all communities.

#queer #just kinda stream of thought i hope i worded well #essentially: you shouldnt be trying to control how other queers express themselves #if you want something more ~tame~ to be seen at first by some non-queers then just make ur own space #find a non-kink pride or something idfk. just dont try to say pride shouldnt have kink #or stop us from being loud and rainbow and flamboyant and gnc and flashy and drag queens/kings and etc etc

the myth of eros and psyche

#akia art #olba #baxter ward #thought this would be a fun parody/au! (ignoring the other trappings of the myth) 🤣 #in hindsight the veil looks goofy but it worked in my head LOL #step 4 later maybe (i wanted to make sure i hadn't forgotten how to do illos #also all i initially rmbed and what inspired this was eros being a drama queen + psyche sicced w a million trials #but the finer details are wild af #i think eros/psyche is tame by olympus metrics but (my) modern sensibilities disagree 🤣 myth as allegory vs narrative ig

Villainess anime reviews

went on a bit of a binge, so here's a compilation:

I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss

rating: lots of fun

one of the funnier entries on this list in my opinion, i actually laughed out loud multiple times

the protagonist is a capable and determined lady, as well as slightly unhinged which i always enjoy, i love weird women

breakneck pace, speedrunning like 3 games in the 12 episode, so it is the opposite of boring

this anime has everything: ducks, crows in bowties, crossdressing, ducks, video game brain rot, and ducks

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord

rating: at east somewhat interesting (still ongoing, episodes watched: 5)

aside from the gimmick a pretty standard isekai with pretty eh animation

a lot of this show is kinda boring, but there are still interesting and enjoyable moments

the protagonist is charming and probably the strongest part

i will probably be continuing to see what happens next so depending on that my opinion may change

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior

rating: charming

one of the series from this list that i enjoyed most, even if the story and the world are a bit simple, the characters and their struggles still work and aren't too difficult to get invested in

a bit more drama in this one, with tragic flashbacks (or whatever they're called if its abt an alternate plotline) that i found maybe a little too frequent

here the protagonist is also capable, driven, and quite traumatized, i wanna hold her in my hands like a baby bird

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

rating: cute!

the bisexual harem is a breath of fresh air

bakarina's dumbassery is a great source of comedy, she's also pretty lovable so the harem around her is believable. and i love a gal with a hobby

I'm in Love with the Villainess

rating: eh

kinda disappointed with this one, i was hoping for some fun gl story, but it could barely watch the first episode and had to force myself to try a few more in hopes it got better (it didnt)

the romance part felt more like harassment in those first episodes, and sure, ive read that it progresses further, but the protagonist didnt really endear herself to me with that

given the comedy tag on mal there were probably some jokes in it, i just couldn't identify many good ones

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!

rating: hell yeah! (still ongoing, episodes watched: 6)

the best one of all shows listed and the only one that's not an isekai

much more grounded, with good worldbuilding and another capable lady as the protagonist, but this one even more so, as well as much more mature

very pretty, even if i find some character designs questionable :v

definitely got me hooked and i will be watching more

#kostek original #kostek reviews #i appreciate this genre #if theres any more that i missed pls lemme know bc ive been basing my watching list on the word villainess in the title #villainess isekai #villainess anime #7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! #I'm in Love with the Villainess #My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! #The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior #Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord #I'm the Villainess #So I'm Taming the Final Boss

Anyways, The Taming of the Queen is about being haunted and The Other Boleyn Girl is about fucked up familes. I would have little to no objections to the books because these two themes were portrayed out very well and very appealing to me. The problem comes with the whole historical fiction, which is dubiously annoying (Catherine Parr) to deeply teeth-gnashingly essay-long frustrating (Mary Boleyn). Another issue I have is when people (the author) don’t seem to understand why these two themes are so important in favor of other shit; glaring historical innaccuracies, exaggarated pedophilia, victim blaming, gratuitous sex, etc etc.

#movie tagline ‘tobg is about two sisters’ love for the king😩😔’ me: tobg is about ambition. and screwed up families. the inane boleyn dynamic #is centre key to tobg! stop making it all about henry! #them: taming of the queen is a doomed romance 😌 #me: its about a woman marrying a guy who terrorizes her life and nearly kills her. psychological drama at best. thriller at worst #phillipa gregory #the taming of the queen #the other boleyn girl #mary boleyn #catherine parr #katherine parr #kateryn parr
