I HAVE BEEN INFORMED VERY LATE THAT IT IS THE PRINCE AND THE FOOL ANNIVERSARY. (school has been kicking my ass I am a bit behind 😭) how people saw this and STILL think zukka is an ‘out of the ass’ and ‘nonsensical’ ship is amazing to me

anyway is that all you and sokka were, or were to one another?

Friendly reminder that Francesco Coppino and Prospero di Camulio, contemporaries who were literally getting their information from predominantly Yorkist circles, were both explicitly clear that it was Henry VI who decided to surrender Berwick to Scotland.

Camulio: "King Henry has given away a castle [town] called Berwick, which is one of the keys of the frontier between England and Scotland." Coppino: "[Scotland has] received from the same Henry the town of Berwick, on the frontiers of Scotland, which the Scots have long claimed as their right from the English, as the excellently well furnished guardian of their frontiers, and the place to which King Henry repaired as an asylum after the battle."

The idea that Margaret of Anjou was principally involved in the surrender, or that she was the one who actually made the decision, is based on nothing but assumption. Two direct contemporaries, both speaking of ongoing events as they unfolded, who were both getting information from Yorkist-held England, both clearly believed it was Henry who was responsible for this course of action. Neither of them mention Margaret. Sure, you can argue that it was merely rhetorical, and that they were simply automatically attributing such an important decision to the King rather than the queen - but rhetoric is nonetheless extremely important and helps us understand how historical figures were perceived at the time. Margaret's enemies would surely not have hesitated to broadcast her involvement had it actually been true, and Coppino in particular had shown no qualms about criticizing her in favor of the Yorkists before. If she was genuinely believed to have been responsible, and if the Yorkists were actually claiming that she was at the time, I see no reason why Coppino or Camulio would not have emphasized her role in their letters. What these samples instead indicate is literally the opposite: that their contemporaries - probably including the Yorkists who were putting out the information that Coppino and Camulio reported - actually believed that Henry was the one making the decision. I think it's a very large and very unnecessary stretch to go against actual evidence and claim otherwise by placing the responsibility on Margaret instead.

Additionally, these small samples may also reveal what people at the time - once again including the Yorkists - actually thought of Henry's role in the war on a broader level, away from direct Yorkist propaganda which would obviously and perhaps understandably seek to de-emphasize it: namely, that Henry was perceived as the one making decisions and deciding the courses of action for his own side.

#henry vi #margaret of anjou #english history #my post #I want to make a longer post detailing the clear indications we have that Henry *was* perceived as the active decision maker of his side #which indicates that contemporaries did not really think that there was some kind of giant 'role-reversal' between him and MoA #but until then the gist is: #after Henry was rescued in 1461 contemporary letters clearly emphasize his own actions; they mostly did not attribute decisions to Margaret #we also know he and Margaret separated when she headed off to the continent; #that he seems to have been involved in border-raids against Yorkist England; #*and* that he avoided capture until 1465 #if Henry was entirely passive throughout it all and entirely dependent on Margaret to make decisions #I do not understand how any of this would have been possible #Instead Henry & Margaret seemed to have had more of a partnership with Margaret focusing on gaining international support #which she was very well-suited for given her powerful foreign connections #& with her taking on leadership in his absence (mainly due to imprisonment/incapacity) rather than all the time/when they were together #and like I said when it comes to Berwick contemporaries clearly believed it was Henry's decision #but also like. let's hypothetically assume that Margaret was the driving force behind it. please think of this situation logically. #whoever's idea it was Scotland was very obviously going to want a proper confirmation from the *king* #who was. yk. the actual authority of the country #even if Margaret was the one encouraging this surrender Henry's approval and agreement would have still been required #if not by the Lancastrian party then by Scotland #and again this is assuming that Margaret was actually the driving force behind it. there's no indication that she was #but ultimately contemporaries very clearly believed *Henry* was responsible #we don't know what MoA actually thought of it or what her actual involvement was (she could may encouraged it; she may have misliked it; #she may have simply been told after the decision had already been made) #but ultimately even in the most extreme case - which is contradicted by actual evidence - the final say would have been Henry's #it would be nice if this was reflected by historians?

saw another post incorrectly representing the field of history and/or archaeology. and i'm being so brave about it

#come to think of it i'm not being very brave. i'm being a little bitch <3 #have people never heard of historical context. have people really never talked to an actual historian or archaeologist. #do they not realize that ''tHiS iS rEaL hIsToRy ThAt tHe EviL hIsToRiAnS aRe HiDiNg FrOM uS!!!!!!'' #is literally a very common rhetoric in the far right to discredit historical research that contradicts their conspiracy theories. #it literally drives me crazy sometimes #i do understand why many minorities feel distrustful of academia because their histories have often not been recorded correctly or at all #by historians in academia. #this is not about that i'm not saying that the field of history or historians are never deserving on critique #i'm just saying that when people on here accuse historians or archaeologists of not collaborating with modern artisans or crafters #or whatever. they literally do in what world are you living in?? #do you actually believe random sourceless screenshots posted on tumblr with no context provided #yes it should be done more but you know. no funding <33

#cultrangoonsart #my ocs #okay so the gal with the purple and yellow is simone she’s a detective this is one of the rare times I’ve drawn her not grumpy #the dude in the green works at a funeral home and drives the hearse but the problem is #he shows up late to the funeral in brightly colored clothes with a Starbucks latte and claims everyone else is early #And then he proceeds to make fun of the dead person #and the ginger with the painting is basically a war historian for fun and is fascinated by an alternate dimension #the old guy with the mullet is a serial tax evader and that’s all you need to know #cultrangoonsocs

astrophysics was a mistake

#sola said #i'm fighting for my life in the astrophysics data system #yes it wasn't built for historians and i'm sure that it's great at doing what actual astro people need to do but #oh my god there are so many little quality of life things that are driving me up a creek

having nostalgic bfdi memories and coming to realize i'm probably a fair amount older than the general fanbase now (i was really into it from ages like, 11-13, and i remember finding mostly people close to that) is strange because i have no idea what it's like now. back in the day bfdi and ii were like the only shows anyone really talked about and now i feel like i hear about new high quality shows all the time and while that's GREAT of course it makes me feel old somehow. i have no idea what's going on over there now. do kids these days still like matchbrush

#matchbrush was practically Inescapable when you looked up either character back then (it drove baby bri Crazy she never liked it HAHA) #i never understood it cause i always thought they'd like. drive each other completely insane if you left them alone in a room #but to this day i've got no idea where it came from at all. like. wh. Why #anyway i know i said no more object posts but ADMITTEDLY bfdi is swimming around in my head a little bit #but i don't really want to garner any new followers coming. expecting that. #it's a really personal and nostalgic attachment and it probably won't stick around very long #That being said Hey any object historians following me. anybody wanna give me the matchbrush lore #brifdi

i like to think that my diaries, if found in the future, could be a source of controversy among historians:

Historian A: "The text literally references characters from shows that didn't start airing until the late 20th and early 21st century, you cretin!"

Historian B: "Those character names are generic and do not attest to what you think they do. How could you possibly date something consistently and flawlessly written in this script to the 21st century, you feckless fool?!"

Historian A: "But it mentions COVID-19!!!"

Historian B: "A difficulty for my interpretation, yes, but it defies reason that any diary written at a time when women were free to choose sexual partners would contain this much fantasizing that is so clearly driven by sexual repression. It dates to the mid-20th century at the latest."

#yes morbo i know historians do not work that way #just let me make fun of myself ok? #the handwriting will drive all the controversy #my cursive is immaculate #would satisfy any Victorian schoolmistress's standards #maybe i should start rambling about esoterica and conspiracy theorists of the future will conclude i was a psychic or something

The way i'll just make a habit out of anything for no reason other than my amusement

I accidentally wore the same clothes two years in a row for picture day in primary school so i kept doing it till the end cause i thought it was funny

spent way too long reading (one of?) the twitter links on that franzeska fandom racism post, and my tumblr app refreshed. if someone happens to see it or reblogged it recently, could you send it my way? thanks!

#hoo boy do i have a lot of experience getting hate for just discussing racism in fandom #idk who remembers my time in the hamiltom fandom but me & my then gf had to leave bc the constant racism FROM hamilton fans + racism from #anti-hamilton people who would say racist shit to her for being Black in thp fandom. and i remember our finals straws sooo vividly like #people do not want to see fans of color find joy like they actively will celebrate something as white ppl & then turn around and say oh but #its hypocritical for you to do this because xyz. and even the anons we had were so different me being white & her being Black #where i would mostly get 'actually george washington was a good slave owner' and i would waste my time debunking that bs #she would mostly get personal attacks about her & her ancestors - calling her offensive names & just people saying the most heinous things #she was one of the smartest & most passionate young historians i knew & fandom racism destroyed that drive #and when i say i hate hamilton this is what I'm talking about btw #there were a few racists in thp fandom before hamilton but they were manageable with the block button but hamilton brought out the worst of #a lot of people #racism

I'm losing my mind slowly at the amount of times I see "historical costume discourse" online boil down to people thinking that the costumers are uneducated and should have dressed everyone perfectly period accurately, no room for modification.

Like....the costumers know that something may not be 100% accurate....they chose to dress the actors like that for a reason....and that reason is 9/10 times it communicates something about that character....

#alli salts the fields #just....all the fashion historians losing their shit anytime a period piece comes out drives me fucking crazy #as someone who did costuming
