We in Finland have a long tradition of re-naming the royals to fit our language, so a king George is in our history books Yrjö, and Elizabeth is slightly more understandably Elisabet. But since Elizabeth II reigned so long, I never realised the board of Finnish language has in the meantime renewed their recommendations and now in the official press, Charles III is just Charles III, not Kaarle III like we all expected him to be. Charles sounds like some random bloke was just dragged off from the streets to be the King, Kaarle sounds like an actual king. My friends are at the moment arguing what to call him and many are stubborly calling him Kaarle. I am of the opinion that if you are any royal worth your salt, you should be getting a weird, awkward Finnish name for Finnish use.
litany against the GOTification of history.
so weird that in young royals August is called to be backup man and told that he's second in line. Like he's Wilhelm's 2nd cousin, so they share great-grandparents. What happened to the family, like so that's skipping so many people actually. All of Wilhelm's first cousins, aunts/uncles have to be dead for that to happen!! Did Kristina's parents only have her? Possible sure, but royalty has been so intense about having more than one child with the whole heir and spare(s) thing.
something something the trend and fear about not having wrinkles or lines on your face and doing pre emptive care to not look like you're aging. i can't wait to look my age when i get older. i want to look at an old scrape and remember how i was so busy talking that i lost control of my skateboard i want to look at and feel my hands and how i took care of myself and others with them. i want to have laughed and been so happy that i have lines around my eyes. my ancestors had their life tucked in scars wrinkles hair just their skin, i want that too. i want to look my age and look at my body that has the evidence of life because what else reason we have to even be here than to live
Robin: Eddie, you have not had the full Steve experience until he makes the swan napkins for you
Lucas: or he just cooks for you in general
Nancy: orrrrrrrr when he starts driving really fast and there's like 8 people in the car + you and him and you have like 4 people making out, 1 is drinking, and the other is sitting on the edge of the window with their entire torso out the car. Bonus points if there's pop rock music in the background
Steve: Nancy-
Nancy: or when you're at his party and some drunk girl begins to strip on his table
Steve: Nance-
Nancy: OR whn you, Carol, Valkyrie, him, and Tommy are just chilling and you and Carol are talking and then all of a sudden him and Tommy are making out, fully sober then say "it's not gay if we have girlfriends"
Eddie: Steve, wtf
Steve: me and Tommy had a running gag where we would kiss and at the time it was funny because gay people but in reality we just wanted to kiss a guy
Dustin: I'm sorry excuse me?
Steve: the joke was that I was prettier than Carol and Tommy wanted to fuck me
Also, like, “Arya’s only nine”, she’s been in sewing classes since she was a toddler. She should be able to embroider and make a few simple things(at age seven, kids in the 19th century were expected to make a shirt, for example). If she doesn’t know how to do simple embroidery, at this point she basically doesn’t want to learn. Sorry, not sorry, these are basic skills.
