I do not recommend reading through your medical notes. Not a fun time. However, one thing I've discovered is that my doctor writes her notes in the same way that Anne Lister writes her diary. I have decided to find this hilarious. Interestingly enough, the one time I met my doctor in person (we usually have telephone appointments), I got Anne Listerish vibes from her. Not the version of Anne Lister that I'm attracted to. Not the version that I find likeable. But the I do not mistake; But thou mistakest me much to think I do (Henry VI Part 2, Act 5, Scene 1)*

version of Anne Lister. When my doctor first met me, she assumed that I just needed to be 'jollied along'. That some 'chin up'-type encouragement would magically make me not bedbound. As if I'd just given up on my beautiful, wonderful life, rather than having multiple massively debilitating illnesses (shout out to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Postural Tachycardia Syndrome). What she didn't realise is that I can go toe-to-toe with the '226 pounds, 17 shillings & sixpence' version of Anne Lister. In the roughly eighteen months since that first encounter with my doctor, things have improved immeasurably. We have come to a wary truce. ---

I've never seen or read Henry VI Part 2. The reason I'm familiar with these lines is because, when I visited Stratford-upon-Avon as a teenager, I got a set of rubbers (erasers) that had Shakespearean quotes on them. 'Out, damned spot!' etc. I used them for years afterwards. What I realised now, when double-checking with the source text, is that the full quote is as follows: [...] I do not mistake; But thou mistakest me much to think I do: To Bedlam with him! Is the man grown mad? In the context of medical gaslighting, this is quite something.

I wonder how many people just assume that "A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to" is something that Tolkien wrote, and not an invention of one of the screenwriters of Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring. I ask this because that was precisely my assumption, until a few hours ago, and I've read the book (albeit years ago). I also wonder whether that line was inspired by one in Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part II: "Patience, good lady; wizards know their times" (Bolingbroke, Act I, Scene IV, line 16)

Shakespeare Weekend!

King Henry the Sixth: Part Two, of the three part play, is the thirteenth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. The plays were first acted in 1592. The second part was published anonymously in 1594, and the third part in 1595. All three parts were published in the folio of 1623.

The LEC Part Two was illustrated in lithograph by American artist, illustrator, and printmaker Carlotta Petrina (1901-1997). Petrina illustrated many texts throughout her career, including special editions for the Limited Edition Club: South Wind by Norman Douglas and John Milton’s Paradise Lost. This was her first time illustrating a play, which provided new and exciting possibilities for her, she says:

I found a new thrill not experienced in drawing for novels or poems: that of discovery. For, in a play, one is forced to judge the characters oneself from their words and actions, rather than from descriptions of them, more as one must come to understand real people.

The volume in the set was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish, and each volume in the set was illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

"The Duke of Somerset 2" - a(nother) drawing of the actor Brian Deacon in Henry VI, Part 2 (1983) directed by Jane Howell, done 1/29/2024 in about 10 or 15 minutes with one piece of willow charcoal and no erasing

#brian deacon #my drawing #2024 #charcoal #i wanna say this is a gesture drawing but not quite. it is quite impressionistic. i do wanna do more practice drawings #(i say as if most of the stuff i post on here isn't half-assed scraps)#like. i don't do a lot of complete fully-shaded drawings but most of my time drawing lately has been immersed in one of those or another #including the one i've been working on for the past couple of weeks after i finished that self-portrait. it's got me quite anxious that one #every time i stop working on it (including today... i did this for an exercise after putting it down) i feel like im closer to finishing it #but a part of me thinks ill never be done with it #shakespeare #visual art #jane howell #henry vi part 2 #bbc television shakespeare #brian deacon if you're reading this and i know you're not. hi you are sooo pretty #(as usual you can tell i'm far more interested in drawing faces than i am clothing. loool)#these sorts of practice help to break up the tension when i'm working on smth more effortful #it reminds me oh yeah i'm not a complete shitass can't do nothin artist #i just happen to be stuck on something HARD? never heard of it

Productions of Henry VI Part 2 according to how much Humphrey/Eleanor there is

A vital metric for judging quality I'm sure you will agree. For @heartofstanding so at least someone will read this obscure post.

An age of kings: Fall of a Protector (1960)

At first, I was disappointed. Eleanor was played as very cold and manipulative and Humphrey seemed more impatient and exasperated than reconciled with her, and I didn't feel affection between them. I think they might even have cut the line "the protector's wife beloved of him". I can't remember, I can't track down how I watched this version.

BUT. We get the KISS.

These two kiss after Eleanor's penance walk and they kiss as passionately as you can on TV in 1960. It was incredible. No other Humphrey/Eleanor depiction kisses like this.

BBC Shakespeare Henry VI Part 2 (1983)

In terms of costuming, this is my favourite Humphrey/Eleanor. Their costumes are so good. They are two stylin' bitches. I also like this Humphrey in particular, he really captures the balance between Humphrey's intelligence and hot-headedness. He kind of reminds me of Mr Badger from Wind in the Willows. Eleanor is also really great here. And height difference!

This version has all the shippy moments from the play BUT absolutely no more. They don't kiss or hug, but they have all the lines from the play.

The Hollow Crown (2016)

The director shipped these two, I am certain of it. We get all the canon goodness and more. We have arm hugging, forehead kisses, hand holding. And height difference! You can really believe these two married for love.

And the penance scene? Up to eleven. The director and the adapter of the play read angst fic, they must surely. Humphrey just can't bear to let her go. Treason and witchcraft has barely put a dent in how much he loves Eleanor. And this Eleanor feels a lot more supportive of Humphrey. Like yeah she wants to be queen, but she also wants him to be king.

If Humphrey/Eleanor isn't canon, why are we winning?

RSC Henry VI: Rebellion (2022)

I can't deny, one of the reasons I went to see this on Thursday was for Humphrey and Eleanor.

I loved it, it was incredible, but I did not love Humphrey and Eleanor in it. Eleanor was played... comedically??? Like her line delivery and her little stompy walk when she storms away from Margaret got laughs. She was played as kind of an airhead, giggling and running around. Like Margarey Jourdain is exasperated with her airheadedness which got laughs. They really emphasised her age and her lowborn status, like her accent strayed into Cockney which I was not expecting.

At one point Humphrey pats his knee and Eleanor yeets herself into his lap which got laughs but I found it kind of cute. The line "banish the canker of ambitious thought" does hit differently when Humphrey says it while cuddling Eleanor on his lap.

The penance scene was well acted, you could really hear the pain in Eleanor's voice. But they cut out iconic Humphrey lines like "mine eyes are full of tears, my heart of grief" and "you do me a kindness if you do it her". Unlike the others, there was no physical contact between the two in the penance scene and so I didn't feel Humphrey's anguish nearly enough. It was almost like "bye". Like yeah he tries to reassure her she'll be OK and he'll be OK but it's not enough, I don't feel the care here. There was more emotion when Humphrey is arrested and he dodges the nobles behind the furniture (unintentional comedy) and then gives Henry one last hug before he's wrenched away from him.

Also people in the audience were badmouthing Eleanor at the interval. No. Eleanor in 2 Henry VI is my meow meow, she did nothing wrong uwu. She loves her man and she wants to be queen and her actions result in some sick prophecies. What more do you people want from your girlboss? She can have a lil necromancy, as a treat.
