What people don’t understand is that the reason we hate RBR/Max’s dominance so much compared to other eras is that everything just feels so clinical and passionless and empty.
The current world champion doesn’t feel a single thing as he wins race after race and it’s so fucking frustrating because if he doesn’t care then why should we?
Schumacher lived and breathed this sport, Vettel would have married his car if it was legal, Hamilton felt every win like it was his first. And now the only emotion this fucking guy has is indifference, to the point where I honestly believe he’d rather be playing a video game than actually racing and it’s just depressing.
I think everyone is doing Austria a disservice when they write him as a prudish blushing flower, and not as a manipulative bitch who has mastered weaponized sexuality. YES he's an uptight snob, but when you look at the history of Austria's military alliances there is a lot of calculated moves based around arranged unions instead of (or to subdue) all out wars. It's much more fun imo to see Roderich as someone who can seduce you into a strategic marriage for the sake of saving his own ass.
this is for an alternate history human au set in the 14th(?) century- gil as a pagan warlord turned king of the newly united prussian tribes, who must convert to christianity and marry a christian noble. enter roderich, an austrian prince, the perfect candidate to legitimize gilberts kingdom in the eyes of the empire and the church, and 2 melt gils hard warlord heart✨️
SECRET SWEETH TOOTH: Sweets turned out to be one of Sisi’s favorite over-indulgences, and she was known to splurge on confections and pastries. She frequented Demel, the official patisserie of the Imperial Court, which was conveniently located across the street from the Hofburg. She would slip in and order thick hot chocolate, homemade truffles, and sumptuous slices of chocolate cake. She was especially fond of candied sugar violets, and always went home with a box. Her passion for violets was so great that she even indulged in her favorite treat, violet ice cream, when she wasn’t starving herself.
THE FAIRY QUEEN: Sisi got the idea for her famous sparkling stars after attending a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Vienna's Burgtheater. The actress portraying Titania wore a sprinkling of glittering stars in her hair; inspired, Sisi then requested her own fairy stars from the imperial jeweler. She saw herself as the fairy queen Titania, and her bedroom (which she called "Titania's enchanted castle") was painted at great expense with scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream by a young Gustav Klimt.
THE LOOK: Her beauty routine was legendary. She used facial waters of rose, chamomile, lavender, and violet to remove impurities, and she would slather her cheeks with pure honey, rose petals and crushed strawberries. After her Rapunzel-esque hair was done to her satisfaction, it would be sprayed with Creed’s Fantasia de Fleurs, a heady floral fragrance created especially for the Empress, with a regal bouquet of the best Bulgarian roses.
