Bermondsey Is What Introduced Me To The F Family/dynasty… I Didn’t Know About It Being The First

Bermondsey is what introduced me to the F family/dynasty… I didn’t know about it being the first gay kiss on tv at all at that time because I just randomly chose it to watch, but it was so so so good in script, acting, and its portrait of emotions. I absolutely love how the wife character was written! I think I actually gained the knowledge about the first gay kiss later on ao3.

I often wonder how LF can be so radicalised when his dad’s first big role was in the homoerotic film The Servant. On the posters and in the film it literally says ‘introducing: James F’. And then James continued to act in at least one or two more homoerotic films.

I’ve been wondering for a while but I was happy to find out that Emilia has also played a bi character.

The funniest thing about FF being a nepobaby is that his current on-screen persona—a rotten posh twink with natural chemistry with men— isn't some groundbreaking or original performance or role choice in his family. It's actually a continuation and amplification of what his family did.

His dad, Edward F, starred in the first-ever on-screen gaykiss scene in TV history (Bermondsey 1972). The writer of that scene, John Mortimer, was F's godfather. (btw since Mortimer was also a British barrister, ff once said in early interviews that he wanted to be a lawyer and even interned at a law firm, but found it less thrilling than acting, even when sitting in the same room with murderers.)

His uncle James F became famous for The Servant(1963), where he played a decadent, weak master with a twisted relationship with his butler.

Another uncle, Robert F, was the executive producer of Another Country(1984), starring Rupert Everett and Colin Firth, and also the producer of the play The Judas Kiss, in which ff played Bosie, aka Lord Alfred Douglas.

The Funniest Thing About FF Being A Nepobaby Is That His Current On-screen Persona—a Rotten Posh Twink

Maybe all these are just isolated events, all coincidences with no special meaning. But it's just fun to put them all together.

She also stressed several times that she’s not the first ‘historian’ to say so.

I feel like the thinking behind the theory is just too heteronormative.

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.

港台这几年都出现了抵抗大陆流行语入侵的风气,林夕专栏也谈到过,认为没有必要。我个人觉得要做到语言完全不互相影响难度太高,但有时看到一些流传过去的流行语被滥用,我会惋惜它们作为一种捷径可能替代了原本更多样更真诚更本土的表达,或许不太科学但我确实觉得这是一种语言退化

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.

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.
