Katya takes the L
On to history trivia catered directly to me and me alone and how much I like to cackle seeing Catherine the Gr9 pretend like she's never in the wrong and then eat shit.
Catherine the Great's personal correspondence is vast and seldom fascinating, with rare bursts of excitement if she ever decided to include a line or two in French. As it's weird reading fanfiction in your native language, it seemed to be weird to her to talk about sensitive issues in Russian, so when I was suddenly greeted with a whole wall of French, I knew tea was about to be spilled.
Long story short, her relationship with Mamonov the boyfriend was getting somewhat stale, which Mamonov one day confronted her about. So you don't love me anymore? - he asks, 😎 Like Yeah 😎 she responds, So I can do what I want now? - he asks again, 😎 Oh Sure 😎 she answers, proposing to spare him from the embarrassment of rejection and suggesting a nice marriage arrangement with a certain countess. Then let me do this, - Mamonov continues, - I've been cheating on you with your lady-in-waiting for about a year now so I can please marry her?

Made even funnier that Lisa pretty much was her as stated, "I opened my mouth in shock and didn't even regain my composure" when her bestie burst into the room and started swearing so bad @ Mamonov even Katie was like wtf. Cue the happy couple crying on their knees in front of her, the general state of w h a t and her being shooketh for a while, and Mamonov after being like "I can stay still near you right?" Catherine was like no??????? leave??????
This French letter Catherine addressed to Potemkin - her husband - who obviously wouldn't show it outright but his reaction clearly being
Tumblr media
Katie tried starting beef in the same letter like "i was Analysing(tm) the situation and realised when you were in the capital half a year ago you kept saying cryptic shit like [writes in russian] LEETLE AFFAIR MAYBE??? and Nah forget him" (плюнь ты на нево or literally spit on hem (spelling mistake) which delights me because this saying remains unchanged in Russian to this day) "did you KNOW all this time and didnt tell me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and Potemkin sitting thousands of kilometers away from her clearly having more important shit to do and deep-fried laughing over how she kept trying to prove to him that her boyfriends aren't shit and then getting slapped with an L just waived her off like "leave me aloneee i just heard some rumors and saw how he sent fruit to her room i cant throw any accusations based on that". The next letters were more AAAAAA mixed with "anyway i attached recs for my new boyfriend bwease rate him 👉👈" so no wonder Potemkin was going hhhhhhh
