Bonus: Another favourite Tudor myth - Princess Elizabeth and Robert Dudley meeting in the Tower of London

There is an enduring myth that Elizabeth Tudor and Robert Dudley secretly met whilst both imprisoned in the Tower of London under the reign of Queen Mary I. While this romantic tale is irresistible for novels and TV shows, it is almost certainly a made-up story. Elizabeth was not held in the Bell Tower, close to the Beauchamp Tower where Robert was kept, but in the Royal Apartments which were entirely separate. Robert and Elizabeth may have caught glimpses of each other as Elizabeth took the air and may have had the opportunity to smuggle letters to each other, but a clandestine meeting is almost certainly out of the question and no proof for it exists in any written sources. That being said, stranger things have happened in the Tower of London ... consider the fact that Katherine Grey, when imprisoned in the Tower herself during Elizabeth's reign, was supposed to be kept apart from her husband who was also in custody. Not only were the guards persuaded to let them meet, but they were also given enough privacy to conceive a child whilst in captivity. Bribes and emotional cajoling could possibly result in a Tower guard conveniently looking the other way. So it is no surprise that this legend of Elizabeth and Robert's joint imprisonment survives. And as far as Tudor myths go, it is one of the more enjoyable ones!

fascinating to me how quickly we forget that the cycles repeat. people treating 5-15 year olds like this breed of superchild created to do evil and taint the world. that was all of us. "they're wrecking sephoras" you would not survive a 2015 hot topic with this mindset. "they're falling for the stanley cup thing" buying on trend overly robust camping gear for every day use is like. a middle class tradition in this country. our glorious kånken backpack vs their wicked stanley cup.

Happy birthday to His Highness King Patalliro the Eighth

what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.

the second craziest part about patalliro was the fact that the uke's backstory was a beat for beat kazeki knockoff that is frankly a better anime adaptation of kazeki than the actual ova. the craziest part about patalliro was finding out that the seme too was once an uke with the bangs and the bbl and the fox eye lift from the scalp
