@sufflk​ liked for a mary rose tudor starter !!

“ you know i dislike mistress boleyn as much as you do, but if you keep that glare upon her being, henry may scold us. ” that said, even the look on mary’s face could not be called friendly or even just polite. it was barely a secret that mary heavily sided with katherine, whom she cherished and considered a true sister, and this whole infatuation for the boleyn girl was inappropriate. at this point, the dowager queen found herself much preferring mary boleyn over her sister as a mistress. “ and whilst you are his dearest friend and i am his favourite sister, i do not believe he will hold back. and i’ve only just yet recovered from his last tantrum. ”

"that's only if henry sees my face --" 

nonetheless, charles averts his gaze, instead lowering his eyes to the ground. he's not about to argue with mary, for after all, they share the same feelings about anne boleyn. as beneficial as his partnership with thomas boleyn had been, no matter how... unsteady, charles finds himself regretting every moment of it. 

“perhaps soon the romance will pass, and he will be on to his next mistress in due time.” it’s said wishfully, though he’s quite sure there’s something... different... about anne boleyn. he can’t quite put his finger on what it is, but he can taste danger in the air like the bite of a cold winter’s day.

“--and if that happens, we will be rid of her.”

this is a pre-existing relationship call! like this post for me to hop into your tumblr im’s and we can plot out how our characters have a connection. as much as i love writing first meetings, i think that sometimes that can get dull. i love just jumping into things and developing our characters’ relationship along the way! 

#tbt. #me: isn't here for like two weeks #also me: posts this thinking i'm going to get any interest #*insert clown emoji here*

historypowered​:

The intricacies of the royal court and the ways of politics and power are entirely lost on her. She was never given the same preparation as a princess of the blood was to be queen: the only reason she was there was because Sir Francis Bryan had plucked her out of Lambeth and placed her in front of Edward Seymour and Charles Brandon. They eventually put her in the king’s way, and she soon found herself on the throne beside Henry. It was enough to make anyone’s head spin, and admittedly she was paying more attention to her pretty things and dancing than the responsibilities of the Queen of England.

Though she would have preferred the king’s company, the Duke’s presence was enough. She linked her arm through his, her steps easily matching his. He moved slower than she was used to due to his age, but the royal gardens offered distractions that kept her from running about. 

“You should take more walks, Your Grace,” she said, easily plucking one of the pink roses that they passed. “Surely His Majesty would not object to you getting some fresh air? The rooms I find you in are always so stuffy.” She wrinkled her nose a little, twirling the rose’s stem in her fingers.

“I…must also thank you,” Catherine continued as she bowed her head a little at the few courtiers who’d greeted her. “For introducing me to the king. I should have done so sooner, but…” With the whirlwind of events, she’d forgotten about it, and she’d recently just remembered.

he can’t help but chuckle at that, his mind conjuring up the king’s council rooms. while yes, there are windows, charles would argue (privately, of course) that it was the men who sit in chairs around the table that make the room feel, as she puts it, stuffy. he can hardly stand most of the others, and while most have good intent... some do not.

as much as catherine is young, inexperienced, everything opposite of what her station requires... there is something about her that makes charles think back to when he’d been a youth himself. he remembers the time fondly, growing up at court with henry by his side. they’d grown up together, no doubt causing their tutors much grief. he wonders if, had the circumstances been different, he would have been like her. after all, he was an orphan too. if his father hadn’t had henry’s father’s favor...

he ducks his head in a nod. “the king needed someone to help him. someone like... well, someone like you. he appears to be much improved these days.” the king’s good mood has extended to everyone at court, hovering over them all like the cloud of fragrance put forth by a field of poppies. the feeling at court is like a giant mirror for the king’s emotions... though now more than ever, it’s as though the mirror is set on the very edge of a table, a hand outstretched and ready to tip it.

I’m going to add Charles being able to see ghosts as canon, because while it could be interpreted that it’s his guilty conscionce appearing to him as the ghosts of men who have died as a result of Charles’ bad decisions... it’s more fun to say that he can see ghosts.

SCHITT’S CREEK SENTENCE STARTERS  —   quotes pulled from season five of the cbc series. feel free to make alterations.

if you want it bad enough, you’ve gotta fight for it.

you said that i could trust you. first, the tamagotchies, now this? 

okay, well, you seem pretty desperate, so i’m happy to help.

this just felt like the perfect place to ask you to marry me.

i don’t know why i’m feeling this like deep, aching sense of dread.

great to know you’ve barely given this any thought.

what if we got out of town, just the two of us?

the energy is unusually light around here. 

i’ve done it on a lot of sinks and i’ve never had an issue.

you’re looking pretty shaky.

okay, this is a really long hug now.

this is all a little intense.

i think this is a huge mistake.

you keep everything inside, like a bashful clam!

full disclosure, you have been awfully clingy of late.

i will spend the rest of the night pretending not to resent you.

pretty harsh, but it had to be done.

um, [name]? you told me you were just running across the street for a cup of coffee.

this is all feeling very sketchy and last minute-y.

i’m sorry, are you saying you were jealous?

well, things seem to be going downhill fast.

lowering your standards is a slippery slope.

they know about us, right?

if anyone knows how to crawl out from under an embarrassing romantic failure, it’s me.

 you made everything okay.

this is, like, the last thing i needed to hear today.

i will be here, and we’ll get through it together.

have you given any more thought to when you wanna start telling people? 

for a minute i thought this was gonna get very dark.

it feels like everyone’s growing up all around me.

there’s something that i’ve been meaning to tell you.

according to m'lady magazine, ‘how electric is your relationship?’ quiz from summer 1991, you and [name] are ‘in need of a generator!’

i didn’t like how we left things this morning.

oh, i’m not above a naughty night of debauchery. 

when did this become about you?

don’t tell me you still haven’t slept.

you look great. i look like i crawled out from under a bridge.

i was made aware there was a loss.

ugh! this is about those stupid tamagotchi?

the tone of your voice makes it seem like you don’t believe a word you’re saying.

one time i did do a book report on [name]’s diary, and it was very dark.

i’m a little shocked that you agreed to do this.

now i fear i’ve overstepped.

ew! why are you making me read this?

saying “knock knock” is not the same thing as actually knocking.

i’m more than capable of looking after this kid myself.

PSA ;; Please never expect me to respond quickly to anything ever.  Whether or not it’s a thread, it’s an ask, it’s a meme — whether or not I responded quickly the time before — whether or not I’m online — etc, etc, etc.  I promise I’m not ignoring you, I promise I’m doing my best.  I have tons of responsibilities not related to Tumblr, && I also need to eat && sleep && sometimes I’m just not emotionally game.  It’s not because I don’t like you, it’s not because I don’t want to do the thing, it’s because I’m human.  Thank you!
