So I have long credited Xena: Warrior Princess as being the media I didn't know at the time was my queer awakening, but as an adult looking back, it TOTALLY was my queer awakening (hello Xena calendar I never let my mom throw away that might be in my childhood bedroom as we speak)

And y'all. Y'ALL. I am having a minor crisis because the queen of my heart and the part of ofmd s2 I'm ready to fall to the ground foaming at the mouth for (APART FROM ED/STEDE) is Madeleine Sami

WELL.

DECIDED TO GO POKING AROUND IN THEIR WIKI.

AND WHAT.

DO.

I.

SEE.

I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS EPISODE AS IT AIRED. MADS HAS BEEN IN MY LIFE AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND FUCKING ONE.

I'm doing fine about this btw. Definitely not feeling a whole new level of hyperfixation coming upon me. Nope. Nu-uh. Not me.

#katherine gets personal #madeleine sami #ofmd s2 #once I catch up on tmnz guess what I'm about to start watching again for the first time in years

anywhore remember that time when denton gave up on the strike and told david that he had to protect his job above all else. and now remember when katherine refused to let jack give up on the strike even after her job was put at risk despite knowing she had no family money to fall back on due to her disownment and her secret was released thus affecting every newsies trust in her going forward. and now remember mike faist getting his foot stuck in a chair during king of new york-

#newsies #katherine plumber #look dentons fine i get why people like him. but if youre gonna act like katherines a downgrade youre just... wrong. #there is no reason to think that besides the way you personally view women. so yknow. re-evaluate #katherine pulitzer

being the youngest person on my team by like 10 years sometimes is REALLY obvious because everyone is talking about home construction and high school kid sports and stuff and my weekly update is “I got a Razor scooter and some new glitter paint”

#sometimes they totally forget I’m this young bc we’re never on video and I’m not volunteering a lot of personal updates bc of reasons #but when I do it’s really funny bc I’m like #‘I learned how to make stir fry today’ #‘I beat a raid in this video game i play’ #‘I got a razor scooter’ #‘the dog now fetches the cat toys so I don’t have to bend down and pick them up’ #‘I tried mangos for the first time’ #‘yesterday I learned what ferries are like’ #‘this weekend I took photographs of local moss’ #and everyone else is like ‘my daughter is home from college’ ‘I have my first grandchild’ ‘the hurricane blew away the port a potty from our #house construction site’ etc etc #personal #someday I’m going to be fully dressed in an actual outfit and do a little makeup and then be on our weekly long team meeting and everyone’s #going to be like YOU’RE Katherine???? You’re what Katherine looks like? you have pink hair and you’re like 17???? #and I’m going to be like well I mean I’m not THAT young but yes I do wear like. young person clothes #I get ’you’re so optimistic!’ from some of them on a regular basis and I’m like #well you see I learned that if I’m not optimistic I will die #and also the world is REALLY FUCKING COOL when you’re not terrified of the world all the time #so frankly I think I’m right to be #I think you maybe need juice and a rest and a bigger support system and then maybe you’ll feel a lot better #meanwhile I’ll be a cheerleader hard enough for both of us

Katherine comes out as a trans man and immediately dives into being masculine for Once because for so long he’s been shoved into femininity and finally now he gets to do away with the whole thing and present how he wants to! Once he’s settled down into his gender and gets more comfortable, he does get back into certain feminine things (makeup, jewelry, frilly clothes) but stays mostly on the masc side of things

Gem comes out as transmasc and kinda looks at his gender presentation and goes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. They still keep their hair long and wear dresses and all, but also he binds and plans on taking T and stuff. He still really loves presenting femininely and being a pretty boy, it’s kind of their whole vibe

Pirate Joe has been out as a trans man for literally years now and is mostly masculine but has settled into himself enough to be comfortable being feminine. Sometimes he wears dresses and skirts, most days he does makeup or paints his nails, he’s not the most masculine-behaving man out there. But that’s just the way he does things and he’s got a gun if you’ve any problem with it 

#empires smp #fairytale trio #they r all trans men/masc in my mind #if anyone gets mad abt their gender presentation they just beat the shit out of that person #someone goes to gem and is like uhm ur a dude now why r u wearing dresses #and gets a bear sicced on them #im projecting hard onto katherine #its my god given right as a transgendered man

[angstics]

well i see gerard gender conflicts as, like, oc fights. my projection that suspiciously aligns with my own experiences/hopes/desires must be the correct one…

#well unironically i think im the most correct one LMAO #but whatever ive already made my point 1 billion times #well u could sub in gerard for kurt cobain or the person who wrote little women #OR katherine hepburn #just a lot of projection from ur understanding of the world and what u get out of seeing these people this way

[teslapenguini]

Just had the thought of False joining the Battle Buddies to try and get an outlet for her more violent urges that doesn’t involve making enemies with everyone and now i can’t shake the thought of False and Katherine being besties and just

yes

#i think they would get along well #would probably start off rocky because they are almost polar opposites personality wise #but i think they would end up very close because they have a lot of shared interests and vaguely similar trauma if you're willing to reach #falsesymmetry #katherine elizabeth #empires smp #empires smp season 2

about to put on the performance of a lifetime

#I'm a tour guide and my whole Thing is that I'm cheery and enthusiastic #gonna fucking commit to it but brother I am earning an oscar with how much of a performance it's about to be #katherine gets personal

Hello, friends!

This is Katherine, aka @unadulteratedkr, aka Dialects_and_Costumes on Ao3, and I've set up this account as a sideblog for my original one while that one continues to live in the hell that is being shadow-banned on Tumblr. I know as of right now, there's not a lot of content on the blog, but I swear I'm not a bot 😂

My plan for right now is to primarily use this blog and then reblog to my og account with the same tags, so if we're mutuals on that account, I'll be tagging all of those with #shadowbanreblog so you can feel free to mute that to keep from getting spammed by me lmao

SUPER stoked to have a place where I can FINALLY yell with people on here again about the gay pirates who live rent-free in my head 😌

#newsies #katherine plumber #get over it #people sit and act like she killed their familys #she just has so much love for jack and those boys why do people not understand that #mind u not liking her bc shes pulitzers daughter is quite literally part of why she goes by a different last name💀 #adding this but ALSO mind u! SHE does not like her father. #honestly #no one gets sarah like i do either #any of the girls either #why are people Obsessed with pinning sarah and kath against each other lol #sarah jacobs in hard promises and in the book is such a cool person u guys just dont get her #and yes! she would Love kath! #yk why? #bc KATHERINE isnt an asshole her Father is. #‘i offered katherine a life of wealth and leisure instead she chose to pursue a career’ #did everyone skip over that ‘instead’ #sure shes safe financially no parent who has the ability to isnt going to not support their child #but shes Not nearly as rich as people make her out to be lmao #bc she didnt choose that #she wanted to work and earn money for herself #and if she WAS ‘exploiting’ those boys 🥱🥱🥱 idc #and neither do they! #Clearly! #last part is a joke but u get my point like #some people r just weird and nasty abt her

What do you think about the whole Anne wanting the christening robe from Catherine that she brought from Spain?

The Lady, not being satisfied with what she has received already, has solicited the King to ask the Queen for a very rich triumphal cloth which she brought from Spain to wrap up her children with at baptism (en temps de la tesme (?) qu. baptesme?), which she would be glad to make use of very soon. The Queen has replied that it has not pleased God she should be so ill advised as to grant any favor in a case so horrible and abominable.

Chapuys to Charles V. (July 1533)

So, I mean...there's no record of this response, or any letters, that corroborate this incident? And there should ostensibly be a few, right? At the very least the letter requesting it and the letter of refusal.

All that's left, really, is to argue for the likelihood based on what we know.

Against: Anne doesn't seem to have wanted reminders of Catherine around? She didn't like that Henry's shirts were being made for her by that reason, it's theorized she "could not abide the sight" of monkeys because they were Catherine's favorite pets, etc.

Moreoever, the argument Borman has made that this was a symbol of legitimate royal blood, I mean...sure, it definitely was, but it was passed down through the Trasmataras? It seems strange that Anne would request it as seeing her future child as an extension of that dynasty, actually, it makes like...no sense. Had the christening robe been one used by Henry and his siblings, perhaps his mother and theirs, and for some reason Catherine had this in her possession, then it would make sense.

And doubly, the argument Henry was making at this time was that his children by Catherine could not have even be bona fides, because the marriage contravened divine law. So, the christening robe, as far as their perspective would have went, would actually be associated with illegitimacy (since it was used for the children of Henry and Catherine), thus asking for it would be contradictory to the beliefs they espoused, as would the imagery of that symbol.

Since it doesn't make any sense even as far as symbolism goes, if Anne requested it, the gesture could only have come from a place of cruelty and pettiness. There's reports of Anne being petty and cruel, so that does nothing to disprove anything, really. In this vein, Elizabeth Norton states that Anne “spotted  an opportunity to continue her persecution of Catherine”.

So, maybe the argument can be made that the request was not even so much a symbol of power and legitimacy, as it was that the robe was said to be very beautiful and Anne thus wanted to use it? With perhaps the added benefit that some of her detractors might recognize it and seethe, Ainsi sera, groigne qui groigne

For: Anne did, if memory serves, take several items from the inventory of Catherine's goods and used them in her household, as did Henry. I have the quote of these items from a biography saved somewhere, I would have to find it, I can't remember if they were sort of more generic, utilitarian objects (gilt pitchers, that sort of thing) or if there were any that displayed Catherine's actual symbols. Either way, this demonstrates that Anne was not that adverse to reminders of Catherine surrounding her, so lends credence to the claim made by Chapuys here.

#the argument generally goes well if she took her JEWELS then #but the jewels were the official jewels of the queens of england #so...of course they were given to anne? #and catherine essentially admitted those at least were not her property but rather the crown's/...so . henry's #by conceding? #so the incident does; if it happened; illustrate the difference between state and personal property. a christening robe passed down to her #by her family...obviously would have been #anon #'henry cringed at her insensitivity and refused to press the matter' lol...borman. #the latter does not prove the former #also yes. henry. famously known for his innate sensitivity to the feelings of others. #fare thee well #god now im getting mixed up with the inventory...i THINK the first wave was just wolsey's? #and then the second was in katherine's lifetime ? and then after her death . #it's all very murky . maybe what i'm remembering if she took some items from wolsey's inventory that had catherine's symbols on them? #or both #sigh. i really need to organize all my research better

Katherine has a really fucked up martyr complex that doesn't get resolved till the end of the story btw

#it's b/c she thinks that everything is her fault and that the only way #for her ta atone is for her ta die #I wonder why she thinks that #Katherine Quin being the most loving kind bright and bubbly person ta others being very subtly suicidal #man she really is a self insert oc! #spacie spoinks #two talk #everything is not her fault.....ohh definitely not. but she internalizes it ya feel? #she's very self aware of her feelings too #''this isn't my fault so why do I feel like it is?'' #she's self aware and yet falls prey ta her brain over and over again #she and this other character who I'm writing ta be suicidal but more overtly so auuughh #their dynamic is everything ta me. cuz they have ACTUALLY done bad things #LITERALLY THE RFS ARC AND THE ''getting back ta normalcy'' ARC ARE MY FAVES #B/C THERE'S SOOO MUCH GROWTH EVRY CHARACTER GOES THRU AND ALL THE EXCITING THINGS HAPPEN DJDJFJJFFJJF #also nebbie #nebbie ilysm #I need ta figure out what ta do with her when RFS is done she's really cool and I don't wanna just throw her away #I've thought of bringing her back for the last part but I feel like her role would be diminished by some of the other roles #gaaaaahhhh #but I want her character ta get some sort of closure..... #her closure is not her living happily btw ooohhh no #she doesn't want a happy ending. she just wants an ending.

Thinking about Ethel and Katherine (what i ended up naming her love interest) againnnm

rotating them in my head.. would i have time to finish reference sheets for them before july......

#text #if i rush it really hrd its possible #my tragic immortal/reincarnatee gals #I have a lot of Thoughts on the trope of an immortal character trying to get with the reincarnation of somebody who once was close to them #and like theyre an expression of that #somebody loving you dearly and unconditionally but only because of you reflecting their long dead loved one..... #simultneous wish fulfillment but also the inherent tragedy of it..... the best case scenario for them to have you regain your former memory #and stop really being you and to go back to being their loved one... or straight up to never have you exist in the first place & to continue #living with them.. #a character sacrificing her all to protect somebody she deems to be her previous lover despite them having different memories #and growing up under completely different circumstances and totally different people #its all a root for very delicious drama basically. #also katherine having become a husk of a person and ethel trying to prevent her from being hurt any more #(in exchange for her enabling her quest for arcane knowledge) #hmhm

i can't believe katherine's daughter died in her arms and their last and final moment together was the only time katherine paid attention to nadia, the woman who worked so hard to build a relationship between them while katherine put little to no effort only to die for how much she tried to convince katherine to prioritize her over stefan, a doomed relationship from 100 years ago

and then two seconds later after nadia died katherine went back to her stefan obsession and attempted to kiss him?? when he clearly wasn't interested in her and she was occupying another person's body (and basically exploiting elena lbr)

#like girl get a grip #dear god #i don't blame her for not calling klaus because he was literally chasing her for five+ centuries to be petty and vindictive #there probably wasn't much of a chance for him to save nadia whom he had no personal interest or investment in #like he probably doesn't even know she exists lmao #(also i don't think klaus was that far into his redemption arc that he would save the daughter of a woman he hated without any kind of #motivation or heavy coercion lol) #but the point is that the writers could have chosen to give katherine a well written arc where she and her daughter slowly build a happy #and stable relationship #instead of forcing st*ferine #sighs #tvd for ts #anti katherine pierce #stefan salvatore #nadia petrova #tvd spoilers #possession cw

No way: song about not putting up with the bc of your husband

Don’t lose your head: fun pop song about a flirtatious naive young girl being married

Heart of stone: about a woman not being to let go of a love she knows is conditional

Get down: flex

All you wanna do: song about a girl being abused from the age of thirteen to her day of beheading

I don’t need your love: a song about a woman refusing to give up her life to be a wife

You can see the clear outlier

According to Six: The Musical, Katherine Howard had it the hardest and I'm dying on this hill, actually.

#its either all you wanna do or get down that's the outlier #six #six the musical #katherine howard #also THIS IS NOT TO NEGATE THE STRUGGLES OF THE OTHER QUEENS #BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD IT WORSE DOESNT MEAN THE OTHERS' STRUGGLES WERE NOT VALID AND IMPORTANT #personally i feel like Catherine of Aragon had a lot of right to be as pissed and hurt as she was #like that was fricked up #so was the yknow #beheading of Anne Boleyn #etc etc
