What Makes Poor Things So Ultimately Triumphant For Me Is The Way That Bella Baxter Is, Despite It All,

What makes Poor Things so ultimately triumphant for me is the way that Bella Baxter is, despite it all, her own creation. She came into the world in an experiment that violated the autonomy of both Victoria before her and Bella herself, but she steps beyond the parameters of the experiment and into the world, to learn from it. The intentions of men may be to possess her or use her or take joy in despoiling her vulnerability, but their intentions do not determine her experiences. She decides. She explores. She looks at a world full of sorrow that could render her helpless and chooses instead to do what she can about it and then sleep easy at night. She listens to the call of her curiosity before all else, her happiness second, her compassion third. The family that she makes for herself in the end is unconventional, but it's ultimately hers and allows her to flourish as a doctor with an experimental nature and a heart of patinaed silver.

And I don't think it could be that particular kind of triumphant if the movie wasn't so fucked up.

The Tudors costumes; Tv show vs Reality

Excuse my drawing skills, I sketched this on my phone whose screen is 70% damaged by oil and without any stylus just with my finger

Many people think that the romance between Anne Boleyn and Henry the VIII sparkled during the Château Vert pageant in which Anne played the role of Lady Perseverance. This scene was depicted in multiple Tudor media and even inspired original works, but historicaly speaking there is a slim chance that the two even spole together during the pageant.

The Tudors Costume:

The Tudors Costumes; Tv Show Vs Reality

What we see: Peineta- a Spanish Comb from 19th century (yes, similiar one existed before but this one is quite modern)

Floating ruffle- late 16th century (at least something from the same century)

18th century inspired top/corset showing niples (verry classy and smegsy)

A skirt which looks like 1950s petticoat

Yeah, As you may have noticed not period accurate but I have a fun story about it! I watched the episode when I was seven (Yes, I was a neglected child, moving on) and I really really wanted to be like Anne so I drew a heart under my eye... with a permanent marker. My parents were delighted, to say the least.

Reality

Sorry the drawing is Cursed but it serves its purpose

I'll disappoint a lot of you but... No nipples I bet you did not expect that, ha. In real life, the eight ladies wore gowns in the Italian style, from Milan, Lombardy to be exact. Made from white satin, with the name of their virtue embroidered (with gold) on their gowns and Milan bonnets (actually called balzo) with cauls (the handkerchief-like thing under the balzo) on their heads. Can you imagine how expensive that must have been, especially for Boleyns who had to pay for two daughters (Marry was there too, she played Lady Kindness)

The most challenging for me (not counting the FUCKING FINGERS) was where to put the embroidered name of the lady. It was mentioned that it was on a dress but not specifically mentioned on which part so put it on an overskirt since on a top it looked like a sorority shirt.

So many people want to blame 'hook up' culture and modern dating when it is excruciatingly clear that relationships have always been convoluted messes, and romantic love dies. Relationships weren't 'better back in the day' and people didn't 'communicate more', people were both married a long time and miserable. Sorry there's no golden decade to return to where relationships were 100% good.
