"You Have Never Left Me For A Single Day Since That Sad Event. I Fear Darling My Nature Is Not Demonstrative,

I’m waiting for certain fandoms to realize that these two men are based on the same historical person.

And that is this man.

Or is it known but just ignored?

AKA — One interpretation made him sexy. The other Jonathan Groffed him/Lin Manueled (Man-uel Handled???) him.

chopin sketch ^_^ (with a cut off liszt in the corner)

i still cannot get it out of my head that a police officer pointed a gun and screamed "get on the ground" repeatedly when faced with a young man burning alive. its been like 12h since i saw the video and it keeps coming back to me. you literally could not ever make this up

if someone wrote this scene as a political metaphor ppl would roll their eyes, as if as if as if. and it just happened. the arm of the state that holds a gun knows nothing but killing even when faced with death itself

"It was no State secret that the King disliked travelling abroad. From the end of the war until his death 17 years later, he spent scarcely more than 8 weeks overseas; 5 of them on an enforced Mediterranean cruise after a bout of bronchitis, the rest on reluctant official visits to France, Belgium and Italy. Nor did the Queen ever undertake a foreign tour alone, even during the 17 years of her widowhood"

The clip above is from when George and Mary meet the Pope, during their visit in Italy in 1922

"In the course of nearly four years of war, His Majesty has seen thousands of female workers and their passion, their dedication and their vivacity at the exciting new world opening up for them gives him no end of pleasure. He bombarded working girls with questions: How long had they been employed? Did they like their work? And what of their brothers at the front? He has a fatherly soft spot for a girl in uniform, and those war-girls have infiltrated almost every establishment that the King visits.”
