I Know Adverbs Are Controversial, But "said Softly" Means Something Different Than "whispered" And This

I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

Not only does Alison Weir state (as a historical fact) Bloody Mary was a contemporary name popular / commonly used during & shortly after Mary’s reign, but she also thinks Chapuys might have romantic feelings for Mary. I mean it’s fine to write fan fictions but writing it in details in a published historic novel is… really something else. The plot also seems to involve Mary knowing the feelings Chapuys have for her and feeling terrible for not being able to return it because it is forbidden. What makes it worse is the talk Weir gave blurred history and fiction therefore at the end some of the audience already seemed to believe this.

我看此地没人敢改编翻唱《不一样又怎样》吧。这首歌因着歌手的关系影响力很大,但其实几乎同时期有一首《蓝田金婚》,侧写热望但也清冽凌厉,几乎剑指基督教保守思维禁锢(更符合香港文化背景)。另一首能够比肩的是《光天化日》。说林夕同志歌写的少的人都怎么回事?

Is Mantel really implying an incestuous relationship between More and Meg in Wolf Hall? (I won’t read or watch it any further so I can’t find out myself)

This is something that some Protestants constantly like to do and every time it gives me a headache. Like what do you even mean by that? You can’t cope with the ideas that a Catholic man at that time promoted female education and also favored his most academically accomplished child instead of his only son, so you think it could only come from sexual attraction to his own daughter??? (Or maybe there’s also a layer of western people’s obsession with Freud which I could never understand.)

Also she seems to transplant the “education for women” thing from More household to Cromwell household, which makes me confused. Historians agree that what Meg achieved academically sets a great example for female education. Meanwhile I don’t think there’s any account on Cromwell’s opinions and practice on female education (correct me if I’m wrong). (Although I’m not sure if there’s none More school scenes in Wolf Hall because again I’ve not seen it in its entirety myself)

Also I saw somewhere that in the book she writes about Cromwell being kind to Meg and he gave her More’s head. In reality it’s Meg herself who not only had the great courage to do it, but also with precise planning (for the timing) and diplomacy tactics to get out of trouble during interrogation. I think she understood the contemporary psychology and situations very well, so she used the fact of her being merely a woman to say that she kept her father’s belongings only for her own mourning but actually later in life she made great efforts to preserve his works and legacy, under danger and stress, with the burden of being a mother to multiple children. Her daughter Mary also became an accomplished translator.

So I’m just mildly disappointed with how A Man for All Seasons and The Tudors portray Meg, but it seems there are reasons for me to hate how Wolf Hall portrays her.

这作者跟我同一家cp的。我以前确实看过文笔不错的俄语同人文,不会就是她的马甲写的吧……

发现一个规律,中国人好感普京,会写普京梦女/梦男文和抹布普京文,俄国人好感普京,会写普京攻,还有各种泽连斯基受的文(攻不只普京),俄国人写不写梦女/梦男文我就不知道了。(我最近这是都看了些啥啊

为什么三国的cp那么多样化那么繁荣 甚至直男网文作者都带点认真地写过 但水浒就没有到如此程度呢?是太过masculine了吗?所以反而是男同作者会写那种同志风同人?

I loved him at first sight. I have learned to love him more. I will love him until I die. I wish in next life I could still be in the same world which has his soul.
