tags: #coquettish girl ascending to queenship predicated on uncertainty and fueled by learned ambition and dyed in blood that brings her into battle and she is fearless and everyone she loves dies and she is left observing this self-perpetuating cycle of kingdoms chewing up their kings and (especially) queens and spitting them back out and becoming the default prophetess because she understands this world and its consistency #except for richard iii and i am tired of richard iii #god #i love the second tet #i skew yorkist in my history but i am all about margaret all the time and yes much of this is shakespeare but that's not something i regret because oh god this woman's arc is the most perfect arc of all the arcs. the second tet is actually all about her and i would kill for a performance cut of henry vi based around her. KILL #literally maiden mother and crone #margaret motherfucking d'anjou is fiercer than you or me or anyone else #my #oh #pre-existing tag for reasons of ALL THE FEELINGS ALL OF THEM #was i for this nigh wreck'd upon the sea? #why does no one ever touch the second tet #sophia myles #margaret of anjou #queen
