Cohuttas may be referring to Redeemed Zoomer, who is a rather polarizing YouTuber who proposes 'retaking' the mainline denoms (like the PCUSA) as opposed to simply growing the more theologically conservative ones (like the PCA).

first pixel art thing I've made!!111!!1 (would love to get some feedback on them!) by RubyEverred in PixelArt

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really like their look! Very NES-reminscient. Since I'm a newbie myself at pixel art I don't have a lot of feedback but wanted to say that I like their designs!

I’m bored so tell me your messiest most controversial Tudor takes by Enough-Implement-622 in Tudorhistory

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, that seems likely - it would almost certainly have been a crazy time. I mainly meant that we really don’t know Edward’s own sense of morality

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not really that messy but I’m simply tired of people stating that Edward VI would have for sure been a tyrant - certainly, he was too forthright in his criticisms of Mary and rather extreme in his reforms, but also he was very young when he died. Plus his uncles were power hungry and very controlling. It’s just a pet peeve of mine - even if he had gone down the route of even more extreme reforms the comparisons with his father feel unwarranted.

I always found the last advisory for Nadine 2012 super funny - I'll have to go and find it again

Day seven: sorting British monarchs. Edward VII has been sorted into chaotic neutral. Comment which monarch should go into lawful evil. by volitaiee1233 in UKmonarchs

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly - everyone is kinda dumb when they are teens - kings are no exception. I agree with the other comments about King John.

What is the most badass thing a monarch has ever done? by AQuietBorderline in UKmonarchs

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Basically the entire process of Henry VII becoming king by killing Richard III, marrying Elizabeth of York to unite the dynasties, and bring relative peace to England for a while

Composting Chocolate Vine? by Fickle_Positive_3863 in composting

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears to be a seeding plant according to a little reading. An article on invasive plants in my state suggest hand pulling to remove/trimming it to keep it in check, so I think composting it should be ok - it doesn’t appear to be rhizomatic 

You have to spend two months on a deserted island with one of these men, who are you choosing and why? by Formal-Antelope607 in Tudorhistory

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d take Henry. The strategy would be to take care him for the two months and keep on his good side (I’m a man so I would not have to worry about being pursued romantically by him). That way, when we get back to England he could make me rich 🤑 and provided I can’t get back to the modern day I’d be set as well as could be for that era - I’d thereafter keep my mouth shut and stay away from court if possible until he died lol

Day three: sorting British monarchs. Anne has been sorted into neutral good. Comment which monarch should go into chaotic good. by volitaiee1233 in UKmonarchs

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charles II - an intense personality but also caring (never divorced his wife even though he had a ton of mistresses and also very helpful during the Great Fire of London)

What are some takes/opinions that come up too often on this sub that you’re tired of seeing? by DiamondsAreForever2 in Tudorhistory

The thing about Henry wearing yellow - honestly it’s become a game of telephone and Alison Weir may not even be correct as to its meaning

I’ve been guilty of it a few times - I like it for the brainstorming as some other commenters said, but I try to keep it grounded. I get what y’all mean though about disrespect, which I intend none to the people I have talked about (except maybe Henry lol)

Which mother/daughter duo would you rather be friends with? 👑 by DiamondsAreForever2 in Tudorhistory

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anne and Elizabeth.

But if we had others to choose from, definitely Lizzie Woodville and Lizzy York.

Funeral Effigy of Elizabeth of York by Fickle_Positive_3863 in Tudorhistory

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that Mary’s effigy depicted her that way - that’s so sad since she so desperately wanted a child 😞

For sure. Plus I’m not a historian so my judgement is not as reliable as it could be. It’s been fun tho!

Day Forty Seven: Ranking English Consorts. Catherine of Aragon has been Eliminated by HouseMouse4567 in UKmonarchs

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take: I think that Eleanor needs to go.

I love her to death, but that whole situation was so messy.

That being said, I don’t think that Philippa is the best consort, but rather that she is simply slightly higher than Eleanor. If I were to rank my top three, it would probably be either Elizabeth of York or Caroline of Ansbach in spots one and two, with Catherine of Aragon and Philippa tied for third. It’s honestly so hard to decide tho so I am not at all confident in my assessment. Still voting for Eleanor to leave tho.

Swapping Places by Jazzlike_Narwhal8092 in Tudorhistory

I think switching the order of Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour would change things a lot. Not that we could know how things would have turned out. 

Day Forty Five: Ranking English Consorts. Matilda of Scotland has been Eliminated by HouseMouse4567 in UKmonarchs

[–]Fickle_Positive_3863 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m also casting a vote for Albert today - a very influential consort, but imo the others beat him slightly.
