if there's one thing i love it's a good show. as television declines, i find myself attaching onto nearly any show that's bottom line mediocre in it's writing. House of the Dragon, Bridgerton, hell even Law and Order SVU. Be sure we'll get to the others soon, today. I have a gripe against Bridgerton.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in love with it. There's something to say about good worldbuilding, and Bridgerton does it well. You're swallowed whole by the show in the best way. It's a well done show. However, when you adapt from a book to a show, everyone will have something they hate about it.

"it's not book accurate" "The characters aren't right" "It's not even historically accurate"

And truth be told, they're valid arguments. I get it. Especially the character thing, and the historical accuracy. And a secret third option, using the other books that exist in the same universe!

In the books, you make up in your head what they look like, yet all the Bridgerton siblings look the same. "Dark chesnut hair" is the most used description. Although, the show did good in differeing Daphne and Francesca, it breaks up how they appear, instead of a wash of similar actors you get a, oh god I hate to say this word, but diverse group of siblings. However, having Violet be a more reddish brown (she was dirty blonde in the books), would be amazing. I digress and bow to the casting director for choosing Ruth Gemmel, she embodies Violet Bridgerton to a near T.

My main issue with historical accuracy is that hollywood doesn't care. It's nice when they take more care into to purposefully making it seem more historical based. God, Pride and Predjudice 1995?? Stunning, Fabulous, I'm so in love it's seeping out of my pores, it doesn't work for Bridgerton. Bridgerton is truthfully a fantasy, casually set in Regency England. The books take a skinny slice more historical accuracy, not much. to me, perosnally, It's really a fantasy romance; therefore, i can slightly forgive how accurate it is. The costuming is by far the most glorious of it. I really want a behind the scenes in making this solely for the costume designs.

I have read so much of this series. All 8 in the OG Bridgerton set, the prequels, and the first book for the smythe-smith (smith-smythe? smythe-smith? I can't remember). The writers had a real chance of sprinkling in this lore of the Rokseby's and the smythe-smith (they did in queen charlotte, that's a whole other thing), and they didn't. It would be such an amazing easter egg to see it done.

AND ANOTHER THING

Julia Quinn's book series, as books would translate terribly onto film if done, scene for scene, line for line verbatim. the only reason it worked for pride and predjuice, is that it was done to a near complete T historical accuracy. (is it fully accurate, no of course not. but damn if it ain't close.). in the first season, the reason why it is the way it is, about 75% of julia quinn's book is smut. season 1 is formatted pretty close to the books. even the books themselves don't have much of a difference in format.

Exhibit A: in the duke and i, about halfway through the book, they get married and the issue of children comes up, and it's all internal thinking done by the characters. which is why what happens, (it didn't need to) but it gives more insight as to why everything happens and how it's resolved. which is why for season 2 they switch it.

Exhibit B: we as viewers flock to rewatch season 2 over and over before considering season 1. season 2 has a stronger B plot (The featheringtons), more filler scenes, and it uses the shitty 8, hour long episode structure better.

Exhibit C: it morphed from a book to screen from season 1 to a drama in season 2. which makes for a better story structure, that's what film is for. To be a tv show, not a book. yes be accurate, but, the truth is, book to screen content exist as a multiverse. NOT an accurate retelling. thinking of it that way is better for your brain. Yes anyone and everyone could sit and talk for hours, and for me days about the inaccuracies, but at some point you gotta except it's a multiverse, not the same thing. and sometimes, it's better that way. (other times not as much, which is my theory on why season 2 is much more different between book and movie)

The disappointment on this year's Met gala looks chi.. I was ready to be served with that late 1800s glamour but instead the designers/stylists/celebs all decided to be lazy. That 'Gilded Age' theme is so beautiful sigh. Where are the beautiful hats? The dresses?

#met gala 2022 #i planned on doing the periodrama week and on costumes i chose the gilded age outfits thats how much I love that era #so disappointed #text #ramblings

Black Period Drama Character of the Day

Queen Margaret of Anjou

The Character from The Hollow Crown is played by Sophie Okonedo. Queen Margaret very real and had a hand to play in the Wars of the Roses.

I actually haven’t watched the Hollow Crown, but I know it takes place during the era of the Wars of the Roses. This was basically a battle of the English Throne during the mid 15th centuries between the House of York and House of Lancaster. Eventually, this is how the Tudor line assumed power, while also uniting with the House of York (if I am correct).

Wars of Roses comes from the fact the the warring houses, York and Lancaster had roses as their coat of arms. The Lancaster having Red Roses, the York having White Roses.

Later on, I would like to update on more information regarding Queen Margaret’s Role.

Contessina de’ Medici ( 1390 - 1473 ): a study of her stars.

Little is truly known about the dates concerning Contessina de Medici’s birth and death, so as a last effort, I resorted to astrology in order to set somewhat of a date to this remarkable Florentine woman who — not only — was wife of Cosimo de’ Medici, but also mother of a dynasty, Lady Consort of Florence ( title created for her before it was passed on ) and whose image is so often disregarded given how she devoted most of her life to caring for her household instead of business or politics. Mind you, keeping an organized home in a time when the Palazzo Vecchio was the center of European Renaissance definitely was no easy task, and even so she managed to exert her influence through marriage and tax negotiations in Florence.

For those who do not know much of astrology, though still are interested in reading, here’s a brief dictionary to what the placements mean:

— sun: the person’s essence, what’s truly wanted by them.

— moon: the inward processes to go about it, what’s truly needed by them.

— rising: how the person presents to others, the style to go in order to achieve things. — venus: how the person goes about romantic and emotional affairs

— mars: described the person’s relationship with what they are passionate about, not necessarily in the romantic or sexual aspect of it.

MOST LIKELY DATE AND HOUR CONSIDERING ASTRO PLACEMENTS:

5th of July 1390 ( Florence, Tuscany, Italy ; 9 am )

⁕ SUN: CANCER.

One of the most prominent aspects of her personality through the few content available definitely tells Contessina was likely to have Cancer as her reining house. Not only does her essence seems driven by the traits of nurturing and protecting, it’s clear by her family oriented actions ( such as many books report that most of her letters concerned family affairs ).

It’s important to add that while the role of women at that time was to be handling house affairs, that doesn’t necessarily mean all had the same way to go about it, and for her it went with innate ability belonging to her sun.

Another aspect that’s clear is the emotional balance represented by her figure. Not only did she raise Carlo ( Cosimo’s illegitimate son ) instead of neglecting him, but also appeared to be, many times, a tie that bound the family together and kept them grounded. She reminded Cosimo ever so often to be more caring for their sons and took upon herself to help with her grandchildren while Piero and Lucrezia busied themselves with the bank and politics after Cosimo’s death and Piero’s rocky health conditions.

This topic could not go by without mentioning her undying loyalty, the first reason why I had a hunch that she was a Cancerian. She remained faithful to her husband until the very end, even through his exile and when he had a bastard child ( while that wasn’t as scandalous as it is in the present, it definitely could have posed as an unbending wedge in their private life; instead, she cared for Cosimo and his declining health until the very end, as read through her letters at the time ).

Cancers are water masters and, much like it, Contessina made Medici rivers run into her to flow even waters.

⁕ RISING: VIRGO.

In addition to the sun, her rising being in Virgo can clearly be determined by the sentence ‘more concerned with being useful than being recognized’. Virgos have a natural urge for service, to be able to help and in an organized manner, always careful with lists and planning and seeking purpose for those ( though never needing to be acknowledged for it ). Needless to say, that only reinforces the Cancerian traits mentioned above.

Yet, it reveals a fear that was beheld of disease and sickness, and one can grasp that by how Cosimo would often be caught mentioning how Contessina worried about his presumed gout. Many were the letters that she’s caught concerning herself with health issues of her children, daughters-in-law, even during the plague outbreaks.

⁕ MOON: CAPRICORN.

Contessina was reported to be a woman who was quite careful with money, and this moon comes in handy to explain her relationship with that aspect of her life. Let’s not forget her family was fairly rich before the Bardi bank declared bankruptcy due the single unpaid loan by Edward III of England, and that her marriage to Cosimo was solely for financial reasons on her family’s part. Thus, the innate urge to master material resources that comes with the ever so responsible Capri, was definitely boosted by that particular fear of repeating that one past failure ( another Capricorn trait ).

This moon is a stark contrast to her caring and warm Cancerian sun, it shows that one side of her that certainly related to Cosimo and ensured the unmatched success of their family at that time’s period. Both held deeply onto stability and the foundations.

Moreover, a Capri’s self-sufficiency and strength can be found in how Contessina seemed to lead the household mostly on her own even when Ginevra Cavalcanti ( Lorenzo the Elder’s wife ), Lucrezia Tornabuoni and Ginevra Alessandri ( Giovanni di Cosimo’s wife ) joined the family. It’s somewhat clear that the latter two were furthermore engaged in business and politics than Contessina, which they were certainly able to do given how she needn’t much help with her considered duties.

⁕ VENUS: CANCER.

Another easy placement, in my opinion, was to rest her Venus as as Cancer. Reportedly, her marriage to Cosimo was amicable and she was ever patient and a good-listener. Not to mention that Venus in Cancer is welcoming and warm, which certainly were traits that solidified how they appeared to rely on each other and built their trust. That does not mean a Cancerian’s heart is easy, no, but she definitely went all the lengths to mend conflicts and keep her heart into those she held affection for ( that much not only romantically ).

Contessina appeared to be one that gave more than she took through what’s known of her in the present. Another point that’s worth mentioning is that this Venus tends to express their creativity through nurturing, entertaining and decorating. Thus it’s no wonder she kept the family taken care of, managed to set place to all those many events Cosimo held and ensured the place’s beauty.

Her charm’s silent, unspoken.

⁕ MARS: ARIES.

While one might question this placement, Aries in Mars brings that bit of fire that seems to be missing from the rest of the previous placements. Let’s not forget that while she ( most likely ) did not run with a horse inside the Signoria back at the day, Contessina definitely wasn’t a meek personality.

Somewhat, I see her passion being the one to care for others, especially since we know so little of her actual likes and dislikes. And even when she looked after her family, one can see mentions of her “fussings” and her tone in letters eventually turning into small complaints despite how it’s all very subtle, reflecting this part of her that definitely could be more energetic, headstrong and hit the ground running.

( heads up! i do not own the media in this post, the gifset can be found here and the pictures were sought on google and filtered with polarr ).

That’s my astrological look into the main details of Contessina de’ Medici’s personality as read through her letters and mentions in books. Also, my way to come forward and say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TESSA <3
