I'm sorry, but I just need to pay more attention to Winston, because this dude is just an incredible character in my opinion.
It really touched me to see what a supportive person he was to Emma and how much he really loved her, and despite all the dangers and weird things, he still tried to do everything so he could be with her and help her.
Even though Emma has changed a lot, even though she had to run away from him, and even though their wedding was ruined, a lot of strange and dangerous things started to happen - he didn't care one bit. He didn't even care about Emma's change or what happened to her. He still loved her! He was not afraid, he did not turn away, he did not stop loving. He kept seeing the same Emma, and continued to love and support her. He didn't even pressure her about her changing like Edred did about Melinda.
Despite all the dangers that occurred and in which he himself fell - he still continued to think about Emma first of all. He loved her. He loves her. And he always did everything to help her, to support her, to find and return her, and to ensure her safety. Despite everything, he loved her and continued to love her, doing everything to be next to her.
If that's not true love, and if Winston isn't the most wonderful man and lover, then I don't know what is.

emma literally is in a constant state of performance just to keep the people she loves in her life. she’s never truly herself with others. every single person has a different perception of her in their head. no one will ever truly know who or what she is. she plays stuff up just to make sure the person she actually wants to stay actually stays. it really highlights her loneliness. maybe she thinks her “true” self isn’t worthy of staying for? she’s probably “loud” with the aspects of her personality she deems worthy. maybe her identity is that much an enigma to herself that it outwardly affects her relationships? she probably subconsciously puts up a certain “persona” depending on who she’s talking to
she’s probably so used to and at this point probably just expects people to leave her or grow apart from her that she definitely shows ppl she’s close to a curated part of herself. a part of herself that (she thinks) they want to see, something that’ll keep them interested. something that’ll have them come back. something that highlights her in their mind, whether being something good or bad
she’s playing a goddamn part the entire game. no one has ever actually seen her unfiltered. EVERY SINGLE PERSON has a different view of her, and it’s all, in one way or another, WRONG. and it’s so fucked up. no one knows who you truly are

There's a new novel about Joan of Kent that's coming out in September: Elizabeth Chadwick's The Royal Rebel.
1338: England has declared war on France, and Jeanette of Kent, cousin to King Edward III, says goodbye to her family and travels overseas with the royal court for the first time. Once in Antwerp, she is captivated by talented household knight, Thomas Holland, just as he in turn is powerfully drawn to her.Although both know their romance is forbidden, their love for each other grows stronger than the danger they face, and they marry in secret. But before they can make their tryst known, Thomas has to leave for war, and in his absence, Jeanette is forced into a second marriage and locked away from the world. Then Thomas returns, and the real fight begins. As hostile family members battle to keep Jeanette and Thomas apart, the defiant lovers vow to be reunited - whatever the cost...From the award-winning and bestselling author, Elizabeth Chadwick, comes an epic love story set against the tumultuous backdrop of high chivalry, deadly warfare, devastating plague, and savage rivalry in the twelfth century - the first of two parts telling the remarkable story of a woman who rose from royal rebel to formidable influence.
I have several posts on this and a glitter text gif but let me just say it again: Joan of Kent was born at the earliest in September 1326 and at the latest September 1328 (her birthday was on or shortly before Michaelmas, the year is unclear). In 1338, Joan could only have been 12 years old and quite possibly hadn't yet reached her 12th birthday when she married Holland. Holland was born in 1314 or 1315, i.e. he would have been around twice her age. No wonder her family was "hostile" to the marriage! That "powerful draw" Holland has would see him on a sex offenders registry.
Either Chadwick has aged Joan up like a tacky romance novelist loosely inspired by history, she didn’t bother to work out how old Joan actually was or she’s like “yeah totes fine nothing to see here Margaret Beaufort was the norm” when every serious medievalist will tell you that Margaret Beaufort was not the norm. Please. No more "preteen and early teenage girls could fall in true love with grown ass men in the Middle Ages and it's completely fine, nothing rapey about that."
