I find it interesting how so many people celebrate Queen Elizabeth's death, naming her a racist, bigoted, colonising, murderer, etc when she was not actually responsible, or even had a say, in the majority of devastating world and personal events that happened during her reign.

As someone who has intensely studied the monarchy, and yes coincidentally, I'm not promonachist so don't come at me 🙄; her authority and power to practically influence the political events in countries she was queen over was incredibly minimal. I.e. New Zealand and Australia specifically as an example

I also find it interesting that the same people who scream and shout over the fact she was a figurehead and therefore useless and should be thrown out: are also the ones that have now turned around and are just as hysterical over her alleged inaction.

I should also add that we must not forget that she was also a highly flawed, highly normal, human being. She made very bad mistakes. She admitted her mistakes, especially in the case of her family. We have this unspoken assumption in especially the western world today that any ruler or public figure, whether they be a monarch or celebrity, has to live up to Our expectation - either providing us with endless drama and hype and terrible life decisions, or being endlessly perfect. Otherwise somehow we feel entitled to scream hate at them.

I've watched this especially in recent years- John Mulaney comes to mind.

Anyway, I guess my final take is maybe stop projecting our pain onto people and actually do research before we form opinions. Oh and also stop calling people bigoted for other peoples actions, that'd be great.

The more I see my media telling me to mourn, the angrier I get.

I never knew this woman. The only personal impact she had on my life was when one of her relatives died or married, I would get a day off school. I never knew Elizabeth, I knew the Queen. The Queen who wore a crown coated in diamonds stolen from other countries, a crown drenched in the blood her family collected over lifetimes of imperialism.

I should not be told to mourn a 96 year old woman who lived a life of obsene wealth and experience and died surrounded by loved ones, aided by the best healthcare in the world.

The crown disgusts me and anyone who wears it is not someone I mourn. The Queen and her family earnt none of their influence, they earnt none of my respect, and I do not mourn them

#queen elizabeth ii #tw death #tw blood #united kingdom #monarchy #king charles iii #art #the fact the media is already calling charles king angers and disgusts me in a way i didn't expect #this system doesn't deserve to continue #posting this on facebook was hilarious #scrolling past the memorials and new cover pictures dedicated to the queen only to have this

I'm not going to do this as a reblog because I don't want to shit up somebody else's notes with pedantry, but the really funny thing about that joke about how the British and the United States can't play chess because the British are missing their Queen and the US is missing two towers is that in chess handicapping, queen odds (i.e., beginning play with no queen) and two rooks (i.e., beginning play with no rooks) are roughly equivalent – that'd actually be a fairly evenly matched game!

What the hell is going on; 8-9th September 2022 edition

- Combination of Tumblr and Twitter polls announce Sans (a character from the games Undertale and Deltarune) the winner of the Tumblr Sexyman poll between him and Reigen, a character from the anime “Mob Psycho 100”. #Sanssweep

- Toby Fox, creator of Undertale and Deltarune wrote a fan fiction about Sans victory over Reigen, making Reigen cannon in the Undertale/Deltarun universe.

- Pokemon Company announced a new upcoming Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet “Klawf”.

- Queen Elizebeth of UK dies at age 96.

- The Crab rave meme is often used as celebration, with Tumblr celebrating the Queen’s death and Klawf getting wrapped up in the wave of crave rave memes.

- The beloved meme cat Thurston Waffles passed away :(

- “Destiel” the pairing of Dean and Castiel from the TV show “Supernatural”. When this ship was announced as cannon, Vladimir Putin resigned as President of Russia. Many are drawing comparisons between a monumental Tumblr event and the removal of a country’s head from power as the wheels of history repeating the motion.

note that Destiel and Putin resigning as PRESIDENT of Russia happened in November 2020 - Putin is still currently Prime Minister of Russia

- September 8th is Star Trek Day, in which a character called Data references the “Irish Reunification of 2024″. Many see the Queen’s death as phase 1 of this.

- It is US Senator Bernie Sander’s 81st birthday. Happy Birthday Bernie!

- Splatoon 3, a game featuring intelligent aquatic wildlife having built a society, releases on September 9th

- Youtube star Trisha Payta gives birth 3 minutes after the Queen dies.

- A Pine Marten, a small stout, has been sighted in London for the first time in 100 years

- Kiwi Farms, a social media site for extremists, “worst place on the internet”, has shut down

Im sorry but I don't have links to all of these, this is just a summary of what is going on

I’m glad that folks ARE questioning and fact checking this summary, it’s good to fact check anything these days and that has prompted me to clarify some parts of the post while others are updating the information. There’s a lot going on in the world right now and to view it solely through tumblr lenses means y’ won’t get the whole story. I hope this post, while not 100% correct, updates and explain some parts of current events to lead them into doing their own independent investigation into the full story.

EDIT 2023: happy 1 year anniversary to this post. What a lot has happened in one year.

I also can't honestly understand rooting for the royals to die not a in "don't wish death on people ever" kind of way but just in the sense that it means nothing, the monarchy is by design self sustaining, like king Charles dies, William takes over, enforced mourning, big expensive funeral, big expensive coronation like woop de doo this is such a non event, if anything its actively detrimental to the average person when a royal dies.

#like Elizabeth I can understand because she'd been queen like forever #her death was like interesting if that makes sense #Charles to William is just the blandest handover ever
