people always praise taylor swift like "ough she wrote an album that told a story shes so original and brave and talented" ok well sure she wrote a concept album about women being sad. you know what else is a concept album? janelle monáe's five-suite metropolis saga spanning 3 albums telling the story of her time-travelling android alter ego, cindi mayweather, who is slated to be dissasembled after committing the forbidden act of falling in love with a human and, while on the run, learns that shes destined to be the savior that liberates all androids through social justice and funky tunes. why dont you listen to that?

‘Too often, the six queens are seen only in their relationship to a forceful, mercurial king. Katharine of Aragon is the old battle-axe; Anne Bloeyn, the seductress. Jane Seymour is the good wife; Anna of Cleves, the ugly frump. Catherine Howard is the giddy bubblehead; Kateryn Parr, the stoical matron. But the women had lives of their own. They had dreams and hopes. Ideas Opinions. Ambitions. They were fighters. Thinkers. Politicians. Strategists. They led troops into battle and hunted on horseback. They read, danced, intrigued, and sewed. They had children they loved. Pets they adored. They gave money to the poor and supported artists and scholars. They ate peacocks and swans, wore pearls in their hair and diamonds on their sleeves. They defied expectations—Henry’s, and our own.’ – Fatal Throne: The Wives of Henry VIII Tell All

Anne Boleyn was murdered on this day in 1536

For about a year, I’ve been reading about historical women. Anne Boleyn has just absolutely intrigued me. Her life and death is tragic, and what else is tragic is the general public doesn’t know or understand who she was. Anne was ahead of her time, in education, talents, and skills. She had a sense of independence and self respect.

She was not a greedy seductress wanting to be queen. In fact, she avoided the kings advances, moving away from court. But unfortunately a marriage proposal was just something as a woman you couldn’t reject. And despite everything she was thrown away for not having a son and refusing to be a quiet and compliant wife. Murdered upon false accusations to rid of her.

But she will be remembered and honoured.

Anne the quene ❤️
