rewatching the white queen for 4th (?) time: a thread

i love the main theme so much omg

actually i never understood this but is the man who dies at the beginning john grey??

PLEASE REBECCA FERGUSON IS SO BEAUTIFUL

i love janet mcteer in this

see the reason this is the best out of all cousins' war shows is bc of the magic and little spells. twp and tsp can't relate

please richard and thomas grey are so adorable

god id forgotten how much of a little bitch warwick was

"he was a squire and twice the man you are" go off QUEEN. god i love an olenna tyrell kind of bitch

jacquetta of luxemburg > your faves

max irons i am looking

" i wish for nothing more than for my boys to never fight, do you think it possible? " it's so sad how hopeful she is, especially knowing her sons will go to battle in a couple of episodes

edward: i'm quick, i'm brave and i'm lucky. i'm as lucky in battle as i am in love.

elizabeth:

these mfs are so horny its so funny omg

-he's coming back tomorrow
+ of course he is

lmaoo

i want to read the books so badly nhhhhhhhhhh

jacquetta and elizabeth playing tag with their children and little siblings

i adore her hair leia tease

her family is so big and cute

lmao edward straight up went and kissed elizabeth and suddenly her father and all her brothers burst in like

why does one of the brothers look like loras tyrell lmaooo

elizabeth was so diplomatic, sweet and naïve at the beginning, her character development is so good and also sort of heartbreaking. she's so hardened by the end

i always hated this scene

" don't doubt my courage, your grace, i'm match for any man "

"you will not fall in love with a york king unless there is some profit in it" lmaoo

this is how i feel noticing all the forshadowing

me when i love the woodvilles

edward iv really became the first king to marry one of his subjects since the norman conquest because he was just that horny for elizabeth huh. like. this is so funny to me.

that altar boy is creeping me out

elizabeths hair is so beautiful fr (yes i know its a wig, no i dont care)

"you will not lose me in battle. i will die in my bed beside you" AND HE DID

i used this emoji so many times already and im only on the first episode this show rly got me in my feelings

JDKSJSJDJDJDJJSJDJDJDKSKSKSKW

edward and warwick: *having a screaming match*

the rest of court that can clearly hear them bc their on the room next door:

the "my boys have to stay with me" vision suddenly turned a lot deeper

fetus richard and margaret are sending me they were so young sjsjssks

duchess cecily remains terrifying good for her

"it was a private wedding, not secret. i was there (...) if your son did not invite you, you must take that up with him" sjsksjsks she did NOT

insults on period dramas are always so passive agressive i love it

did this bitch really threaten to dethrone her own son????

DID JACQUETTA REALLY CALL THE KINGS MOTHER "COMMON WHORE" IN HER FACE??? LMAO???

I LOVE THAT WOMAN SO MUCH

elizabeth has so much faith in edward and their love its so sweet

elizabeth can be so petty sksjsjsks its so funny

"how much trouble can [duchess cecily] be?" oh boy you have no idea

jacquetta just scrying in the english court with the door open and her husband passed out on the bed like witchcraft isn't very much illegal lmao

HOLD TF ON I JUST NOW UNDERSTOOD THE PROPHECY. the woman in red is margaret beaufort ("the red queen") and she has elizabeth's blood on her hands bc she's responsible for her son's death

literally how did i not notice on my other rewatches?? its so obvious

anyway, on to episode 2: the price of power

rebecca ferguson is always beautiful but she was especially gorgeous on this episode

im wheezing at little anne neville trying to catch up to her father and sister bc shes so tiny they leave her behind

richard's "i pray your child is a son, so he may follow my brother on the throne" vs luca brasi's "and may their first child be a masculine child" cinematic parallels

richard and anne are another two characters who used to be so sweet and innocent but became so hard and unyielding by the end

"your brothers and i will be with you every step of the way"

richard woodville is sucy a sweet dad im so soft

ITS THE FIRST TIME NOTICE ANNE NEVILLES LITTLE CRUSH ON ELIZABETH IM GONNA SCREAM

isabel: stop staring like an idiot

anne: but she's so beautiful

how coul she not?? look at her!!

edward with the grey boys he was such a good dad & stepdad i wanna cry

PLEASE THEY WERE ALL SO LOVING

me every time the grey boys come on screen

SHE

THEY

(excuse the shitty camera quality)

anne and richard's little crush on each other its so adorable

y'know as much as edward has a lot of attractive qualities but he's not bright is him?

friendly reminder that these are the same person

look i know this is p obvious but i didnt connect the dots until i tried to rewatch it on january (?)

as much as i dislike margaret beaufort's character that poor woman went to through so much. sometimes i forget she's literally a teenager and in so much pain

richard: what is this? is the goddess of love plotting?

jacquetta: there is no love on this, richard. only business

richard and jacquetta woodville are so

EDWARD WITH LITTLE LIZZIE PLEASE HES SO HAPPY WITH HIS BABY DAUGHTER

faye marsay is so pretty too wtf

hold on were do i know jasper tudor from?

well according to imbd from nowhere lmao

GOD I DESPISE LADY BEAUCHAMP

this is how edward looks like when he calls warwick a friend

wheezing at the image of margaret beaufort passed out on the floor of a chapel

the neville girls are so funny helpsksksks

i know this is the 15th century and they're kids and all but the mysoginy is really getting on my nerves

everyone has such pretty hair i'm p sure this isn't accurate

everything goes downhill from here :(((

the grey boys are so grown up

lord stafford is so done with margaret its so funny, he gives me davos vibes

shits about to get real scooby doo

god i love it when they (elizabeth & jacquetta) get witchy. curse them all queens!

time for episode 3: the storm

ladies and gentlemen please rise for the national anthem https://open.spotify.com/track/6XmJPtXe0MCnXmaYf1VyFa?si=3Bl7yJYNSM-FX2mzLuu3Yw

hold on is this the episode where they summon a storm?? hohoho i love it here

things i love: edward and elizabeth's devotion to each other

(lemme ignore that he's a cheater bc we won't find out till episode 6)

currently feeling bad for isabel neville

so grrm took edward and edmund of york and swapped their personalities??

elizabeth's fierce loyalty and devotion to her family are two of the things i like the most about her

i love the rivers so much oh my god the only non-disfunctional family on this show

ELIZABETH SNAPPED !! GO OFF QUEEN

richard used to be so loyal what the fuck happened

the grey boys drawing closer to their mom as soon as warwick gets near i love them

(i think one of them is tommen baratheon?? like the actor however he's called)

thomas grey snapped at warwick lmaoo. the boy was ready to punch one of the most powerful men in the kingdom to defend his mom this is so sweet

elizabeth is edward's #1 fan lol

yeah...this is kinda gross

the parallels between margaret and elizabeth >>>>

richard welles you are such an idiot

i kinda feel bad for him tho bc he was only trying to do the right thing

can margaret beaufort shut the fuck up YOUR BROTHER JUST DIED BITCH

STAFFORDS FACE LMFAOOO

they're going to be casting spells aren't they???

baby lizzie blowing too how cute

anthony woodville the mvp

the special effects

margaret beaufort: i promise i will do as you say if you let me come

margaret beaufort: SIKE

"tis a witches wind" BITCH HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT???

i love elizabeth's rage but jacquetta was right, it did eventually drown her family too

elizabeth in ep 1: mother don't do magic it's forbidden!

elizabeth now: it's spellcasting hours bitches!!!!

gotta love character development

episode 4: the bad queen

"i have always known i would see you on your knees again, lord warwick" lmao i like this lady

they call her the bad queen cause she a bad bitch

EXCUSE ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME JASKIER AND THE CREEPY PRINCE OF WALES ARE THE SAME PERSON?!?!?????!?!?!?!?!

is this lady something suth-something the duchess' girlfriend?? is this what they're implying????

lmao the duchess said "enough trauma olympics" she was ahead of her time

as much as i feel for margaret her religious fanatism is driving me insane

anne's hair is so pretty what is her secret?

me: :(

jacquetta: i escorted [margaret of anjou] to her wedding, i carried her trail at her coronation, i was by her side when she gave birth to her son, i am her dearest friend. if any harm comes to me, it will be your head she spikes on the city walls

me: :)

not another gross scene.....

king henry is fucking nuts lmaoo

another baby awww

episode 5: war at first hand

one thing i just noticed that both isabel and her daughter maggie have in common is that both are incredibly family oriented, loyal and dutiful. and it took both a while to find their voices.

everyone is terrified of margaret of anjou lmaoo

shes terrible and ruthless and i lowkey want to stan her for it

EDWARD!! OPRAH GIF!!!

edward and elizabeth being all lovely to their baby son i want to cry

eleanor tomlinson is like,, really pretty

i love the detail of lizzie always being there when jacquetta and elizabeth get witchy

thank you the white queen for giving me hot mean milf wearing an armor

jaskier is so mean on this show no wonder they call him the ice prince

i rly like how margaret of anjou asks for anne's opinion. its cool how, on her own often terrible way, shes looking after her and mentoring her

poor anne :( shes 15 a whole BABY she just wants her mom man

anne's disgusted face when margaret of anjou told her she's thinking like her lmfao

LOL @ ANNE NEVILLE STANDING UP TO THE SOURCE OF HER CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARES.

george: you should cut off [warwick's] head and put in on the city gates for all to see. it's the only way to punish traitors.

richard: bit rich coming from you

lmfao drag him boy

lmfao margaret of anjou really said: i need to take a break, i feel like everyone hates me because i'm french ((she's right))

wtf why did richard just ask anne if she loved him OUT OF THE BLUE she literally just lost her husband and also hasn't seen you in over a year

she said yes

im so at the little princesses celebrating they are so adorable

omg things are getting really scooby doo again

THEY MURDERED THE KING WE-

what an episode man

i neglected this thread so let me fix that. episode 6: love and death (also ur reminder to mute this thread bc i'm ready to be super annoying)

hsdksjsjw elizabeth's face when edward pardons anne she's like boy are you stupid

no but im yelling she really said "i can't believe this"

anne really should be quiet girl they're going to kill you

jdkdks please the side eye glances are so funny they really said we're in the past lets be passive agressive

:(

edward cheating, jacquetta sick, george being a little shit, this episode was always :/
