I love dinluke because every single fanfic basically follows the plot of either Fleabag season 2 or the Sound of Music. Oh, Din’s a wealthy, powerful, and feared aristocrat/king and Luke is his son’s beautiful and fiery teacher? Boom, the Sound of Music. Luke’s a kind and devout Jedi monk and Din’s a mysterious and morally grey stranger who Luke eventually betrays his religion for by falling in love with him? Boom, Fleabag. Like my brother in Christ, every single fanfic writer just copies + pastes these two scripts into AO3 and changes the names.

King Christian X (Christian Carl Frederik Albert Alexander Vilhelm; 1870 – 1947); King of Denmark from 1912 to his death in 1947
I want to place this remarkable individual within the context of the many royal families we discuss in this blog. He had quite an eventful and successful reign, including transitioning his country into a constitutional monarchy, but this post is just about (some) of his relatives.
He was a grandson of Christian IX and the son of the future Frederick VIII. His brother was the future Hakoon VII of Norway. His paternal aunts were Dagmar (Empress Maria Feodorovna) and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom. King George V, Queen Maud, and Tsar Nicholas II were his first cousins. Christian X's mother was Lovisa of Sweden.
He was raised strictly in a palace part of the Amelienborg Palace complex. He received a military education and studied at the Officers Academy.
Christian initially loved Princess Marguerite of Orleans, but his feelings were not returned, so he married Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg Schwerin. Alexandrine's maternal line was Romanov...her mother, Anastasia, was the daughter of Nicholas I's younger son, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaievich. They had two sons: Prince Frederick (1899–1972), later King Frederick IX of Denmark and Prince Knud (1900–1976)
In case you are wondering, he was 6 feet 7 inches tall.
What a dynasty Christian IX and Queen Louise gave to the world!

Alys Rivers.
Alright, listen I'm conflicted here: The way I understand Alys Rivers is that she's supposed to look younger than her actual age. So "younger" not young. That's why she's believed to be a witch, right? She's looked like that for many years. Again "younger" not young. Also if it's said that Aemond likes MILFs, then it's because this lady isn't in her twenties, wouldn't you say? So it confuses me that fans keep casting really young actresses! I think someone Maria Doyle's age is perfect🖤.
