clearly, i am obsessed
(Or maybe just overly enthusiastic and vocal?)
So. Was googling for reviews under "the tudors" + "thomas tallis".
And this blog is the third result down.
...huh?
Somebody else write fic, quick, so I'm not a fandom of bloody one!

I've got something in the works. If only there were 36 hours in a day! Wait; there's a poem I wrote from his perspective quite awhile ago...will put that on as soon as I find it.

I usually prefer to write in pretty small fandoms, but when you're the only person writing a character it can feel like you're in your own out-of-touch little loop and you start to question your take on things. I googled Tallis to try and find a range of views about 1.08, but nobody seemed to have any theories. *sigh*

That idea hadn't occurred to me until you mentioned it in an earlier comment. You're right about how different his reactions were to her death and to Will's. It kind of made me shiver, and it adds another dimension to my initial interpretation of the scene in the chapel: that Tom was in part channeling Compton, by taking this rather unassuming creature and giving her the gift of being seen, and being appreciated fully as a person. If Tom in fact had intuited that she was about to die, initiating the relationship with her would have been like giving Will the goodbye he never had the chance to give. He's being kind to her, but he's also using her to relieve his own guilt, to exorcise the incompletedness of the affair ( ... )
