#where the homoerotic subtext was clearly text (he was gay for aumerle)

it changed my mind a lot ig

btw. if you wanna think about this some more:

ALSO, this has nothing to do with anything but you've reminded me about BBC Richard II going all in with the homoeroticism of the Saint Sebastian imagery and I feel the need to share some screencaps (Ben Wishaw looked so handsome in this it genuinely makes me want to weep):
