I love that both Elizabeth Woodville and Elizabeth of York had grander coronations than their husbands <3

Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.

Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, detail from John Cabot and His Son, at the Court of Henry VII by John Adam Houston, 1862.

these are very wise (and very real) words. believe me.

I'd like to add to this. You may fall into a job/career in your 20s that pays bills and you don't mind doing. And that's fine. You may find your passion and hate the job that goes with it and get one that just pays bills so you can pursue your passion. And that's fine. Your passion may change - and that's fine. Life is not linear. Jobs can be just jobs. Careers can change.

Life is not static. It doesn't end at 30 or 40 or 50 or later. And a job can be just a job and your life can be successful and fulfilling.

sometimes, it's not so much about the romance as it is about the devotion. the adoration.

keith ward's reynard the fox illustrations (via splog)

Reynard the Fox is a literary cycle of medieval allegorical European folklore tales, written in Old French between the 12th & 13th centuries.

Because of the huge popularity of the Reynard stories in medieval France, "Renard" became the standard french word for "Fox", replacing the old French word Goupil (from Latin vulpēcula).
