Versailles while horrible inaccurate is surprisingly good. Like it can be messy with characterizations at times but it’s also very entertaining. I love the character of Philippe of Orleans. Although I don’t see why they had to make him rape poor Henriette it literally was just in their for shock value and hardly made sense. 

Speaking of which why don’t they bring in the two daughters of Henriette and Philippe? I see this as a trend in historical tv shows, excluding daughters and younger sons when they often are very important and go on to populate the houses of Europe (Lol Margaret Tudor in The Tudors). I can understand not showing the various children that Louis XIV had with his Queen other then his surviving son, since they all died young and having that many child actors could stress the production. But Philippe’s daughters go on to have very important lives from what I understand, one marries Charles II of Spain in an alliance with France, and the other ends up inheriting the Jacobite claim to the throne of Great Britain as well as populating many royal houses with her children.

This is a similar problem that The Tudors had, many wanted the show to continue after the death of Henry VIII but Michael Hirst had literally written himself into a giant mess by not including Princess Mary Tudor daughter Frances Grey nor including how Mary Queen of Scots was a potential Tudor heir. He literally couldn’t continue the show on to the next generation due his inability to see ahead. 

Versailles might run into a similar problem if they keep cutting out the younger children. They might be forced to cut the story after the death of Louis XIV when they should continue right up to the French Revolution. The show is named Versailles after all, and I would like to see it go passed just the simply construction of it. It should show how the genius idea of Louis XIV,  to bring the nobles to heel, ended up being the destruction of the monarchy. This will be hard to do if they continue to cut out characters. 

11. June, 2016 // Bureaucratic shenanigans.  Applying to the Institutional Review Board at my university so I can start collecting data for my senior experiment. Though it’s only minimal review it is still a beast of a process. Topics of interest: social anxiety and procrastination

Science review. Homework. Textbooks. Spotify. Bullet Journal. Comfy Socks. Almond Milk. Let’s do this.

there’s a post going around listing trans people who killed themselves post-Trump’s election. it is not properly sourced, and searching the names net absolutely no results. it’s fake. i understand why people might reblog this (because it was honestly a horrifying post to read when i thought it was true), but please look into stuff before you reblog them & don’t spread misinformation. don’t create artificial trauma for already terrified communities. 

that being said, here’s the Trans Lifeline numbers that was on the post: US: (877) 565-8860 Canada: (877) 330-6366
