Walks up to a couple: Soo, which one of you is the Prussian-born monarch with emotional baggage and which is the overly dramatic French philosopher they can't help but keep throwing their money at?

With some training in basic combat skills, the Waterboys would be pretty well-matched against the Liechtenstein military c. 1866. If you got every Waterboy together they could maybe even try to take over modern Liechtenstein

I have been trying for days to find a topic for the "paper" I need to turn in for this Philosophy of History course on Friday, and I got nothing.

I so intensely dislike this subject you cannot imagine.

#This is the main reason I didn't take it the first time around #because they told me back then it wasn't required #and I had no interest in it #unlike most other branches of philosophy #it's constituted mostly by Prussian Philosophers #writing theories about history where of course Prussia is the pinnacle of humankind #theories that have the randomness of Tumblr shitposts without any of the fun #You open JSTOR and won't be able to find more than a couple dozen papers on the subject itself #and how could you #It's a discipline that has like 2-3 possible questions tops #is history linear or cyclical or something else #Does History have a purpose (so is there a providence) or not? #And that's pretty much it #By the point you are asking the question about the subjectivity of historical narratives you are talking about hermeneutics #and therefore philosophy of language and the mind #My frustration is not helped by the fact that the professor herself has taught very little #most of the classes have been presentations by freshmen classmates whose interpretations are understandably very basic and tentative #so the fact that she's asking for this without specific guidances is adding insult to injury #but wait there's more! #she intends the papers to be read collectively and peer discussed and evaluated #grrrr #Anyways if you need me I'll be on the pit of despair

wait what is that ankle monitor on prussia? he still has it in the present era?

Not in our own era, no. But between the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and October 1991 and maybe into the removal of Soviet troops in 1994, many of Germany's neighbours were very nervous about reunification, to the point where iirc Germany didn't use the term itself as it had connotations going back to the late 19th-century formation of a German state under the Prussian monarchy. Gilbert was specifically restricted to what came to house arrest by Arthur's concerns, as he pushed for Gilbert's monitoring even when the French and Poles cooled their heels about it. The first time they fuck in several decades is still when Gilbert has that on his ankle. Arthur rolled off him the morning after, "Ah, yes, don't want the lads over at MI5 to see that now, do we?" And Gilbert got clipped.

This is one of those slightly cursed shitpost headcanons of mine where I joked about it, and then the dismay of many of Germany's immediate neighbours had friends from those same regions enjoy it so the headcanon stuck.

Orchid, mahonia, edelweiss :)

1) orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?

oooh, that's sort of a tricky question. I've got a lot of favorites, my liked playlist is always a hodgepodge of ambient music, czech boomer rock, and soviet-era pop and synth music, with a whole bunch of oddities from different time periods and nations sprinkled in.

I have so many favorites, but so many I can't say I'm always in the mood for them. So if I had to pick a song that always gets me, no matter the time place and situation?

I've posted this before - but I adore the lyrics of this song and the meanings behind them. The little piano melody, the beep boop, and the way her words roll off one another with the tempo - aaaag it's great.

2) mahonia ⇢ what place, thing, activity inspires you most and how do you express yourself when it does?

that's hard to say, and I don't think anyone could name one thing in particular. what inspires you? what drives you?

when i look at my fascinations for various historical settings, i think there's a common trend of a society emerging from incredible hardships, but continuing to thrive and move forward with great purpose and enthusiasm. were there any periods in our national history so dynamic, where anything could happen, but in which society moved forward with great purpose as during the birth of the first republic or the peak of the čssr in the closing years of the 60s?

what of my other interests? of medicine, in a world burdened by untold amounts of suffering, to be given the opportunity to try and ward off the burdens of those already struggling to keep their head above the water, to give relief? and what of your own desires? of the complicated dance of love and human connection? the struggle to live your life with enough purpose, where you can feel at the end that or was all worth it?

i don't really know how to answer this question, it's maybe too broad for me. but i'd like to think i'm doing my best to work towards the promises i've made to myself, so i can live having known that what connections i made and impact i had on others were positive.

3) edelweiss ⇢ how’d you think of your url/username? what’s it associated with to you?

I originally made this blog back in 2015, when I had just barely turned fifteen. I was a bit deep into my prussophilia phase, and if you peek at the archives, you can see that it was originally a blog where I posted these prussian shitposts; whatever was in the style at the time. By 2017 I had basically all but stopped posting about the German monarchy, as to be honest it was a bit deranged. Now that's not to say I've lost my germanophilia - despite what it sometimes looks like I've still got that part of my subconsciousness.

the process of de-LARPification from 2015-2017, as called for by nikolai podgorony at the XXVII congress of spedebol

today? It's completely devoid of any meaning for my blog. I keep it because it's the url everybody recognizes me by, and like the louis wain cat pfp and my online handle sp00n.exe, if you use it for long enough soon enough you find that it's the only thing you can use.

any changes have not been popular, to say the least, I wonder what random people following me in the last few years have thought?

thanks for the ask! this was a fun way to kill an hour.

currently in love with this 1870s satire: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Fight_at_Dame_Europa's_School “Illustrated by Thomas Nast. A didactic satire casting European countries at the time of the Franco-Prussian War as schoolchildren, and portraying their battles as schoolyard skirmishes. The text was written from a sympathetic French perspective, and meant to warn British residents of the threat of a German invasion.“ and honestly, some of the drawings out of context just look like modern-day shitposts:

(John and Louis poking their noses into other people’s business.)

(The Needle-gun.)

“Every dog has his day.” “There was a time.” That time is gone.

And, finally, “His occupation gone.”

Maria Teresa, exposing Austria’s limp-wristedness: “I wonder if you can fight with these arms of yours”

Austria: *proceeds to train harder than ever and hate every grueling moment of it but pushes through it because he feels he has no other choice as an empire and he may be dealing with the traumatic aftermath of the Prussian invasion of Silesia and falling prey to toxic masculinity rhetoric, and also she shamed the one part of his body he actually likes for his conducting and music-playing ability*

Shitpost Writer Brain

Maria Teresa: “Austria, I need to assess your training program, and that means I need to understand where your weaknesses are.”

Austria: “Her majesty would… manhandle me?!? Her majesty would flop my delicate pianist hands about as if they were flags of surrender!?! Oh!! Oh, I cannot thrive in this environment!”

Maria Teresa: “Austria, we have limited options. We have to become allies with the French and the Russians to balance out the Prussian threat.”

Austria, eyes wide: “Her majesty is… evil?!? Her majesty is… unyielding!?!? Oh! Oh, I shall run away! I shall spend the rest of my days out as a florist if I am otherwise fated to ally with the French! I shall gather a rucksack and leave at once! She has left me no alternative, Hungary! Oh, I feel so faint..”

to all the inexplicable new followers, hello, I'm here entirely to shitpost about the 18th century, mostly a certain drama queen of a philosopher, a certain gay Prussian king and their spectacular dumpster fire of a relationship, sometimes I translate letters from French or German, asks are open, welcome to the insanity

#if anyone is coming off that viral Sade post...there's not much of that 😂 #and if anyone is coming because of amrev...there's even less of that nowadays
