not me literally crying..

“i never jest when i play for kingdoms, my lord of essex” QUEEEEENNNN 😩(literally)

have no idea wtf they’re talking about at the beginning of act ii scene iii but penelope kinda went off when she said “virginity is rather a state of mind.” reminds me of one of the only aspects of the elizabeth 1998 movie that i liked: the idea that virginity was something elizabeth acquired rather than preserved (i.e. she chose to become a virgin.)

essex referring to england’s war with spain as a “womanish war” …these men are never fucking happy 🙄

judith in vogue magazine >>>>>
also her and ruth gordon sleeping with the same guy at the same time is so tea. i need to know what their friendship was like 😫

“‘of course, we are both failures,’ he said, and it could have been a confession of love”

“[mr. bonner] did not consider that his daughter or his niece needed to be understood.” ouch.

“oh, i have the will, […] but i have not yet grasped in what way i am to use it.”

“i used to be a dancer”

the little bit of gay that’s sprinkled in here with nikki telling barbara that she had a crush on her when they were teenagers at school 🤔

when glen tells jules “your happiness needs to come from YOUR choices and YOUR life. not the choices and lives of others” !! go off king!!! he’s officially my favorite character. 4 queer women in this book but the 60-something yr old straight dad is who i love and relate to most lmao
