Apparently I should be checking out this miniseries adaptation of Shakespeare’s history plays, immediate-style.

I haven’t sent stuff like this your way recently but OHGOSH THE ARMOR AND STYLE AND SHE’S ACTUALLY GOT LINES AND WRINKLES I NEED THIS EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.

I am particularly loving this photoset as great demonstration of how a cuirass curves not just to deflect hits but also to be roomy enough for the wearer to flex and bend inside of it.

Outstanding.
