I know how much [my brother] loves you. But when you really need him, then he's not there. He needs you to feel alive. But for that, a part of you must die. Is that just? Elisabeth, you and I...it was meant to be.

Officially became obsessed with "The Empress" series on Netflix this summer, and I ship Elisabeth/Franz so hard!

So of course, that meant I had to write a little fanfic about them, which I've posted over at AO3:

I'm enjoying The Empress, because I've accepted that it's like watching is like reading a fanfic on screen, and not just any fanfic, rather, one of those self-indulgent 'my mom sold me to 1D' kind of fics that somehow have millions of reads and comments. It makes things easier.

#the empress 2022 #die kaiserin #the empress netflix #just don't think too much and watch yhd pretty prople make out and cry #that's my mindset

Heyy!! How did you find franz's character in the empress. Did you feel like they made him too kind and likeable in the series. The hurting himself during the execution was really sweet but i don't think real franz was that compassionate

Hello! It's the first time someone asks me something and I'm very excited about it. Thank you. 🥹

But to answer your question. From what I know of the real FJ, I don't think they have much in common so far. Yes, I feel like the character hints at the workaholism and military training as well as that stoicism, but overall I think he's quite different. Maybe that's what I don't like about the series - it's a bit superficial.

If I abstract from the history, I really like Franz as a character. I didn't expect him to be like this and he just melts me. I hope they don't screw up his character in season two. I have such concerns, but we'll see.

Elisabeth and Maximilian + bantering/teasing each other

#sorry I will not shut up about them in the near future #the empress #elisabeth x maximilian #die kaiserin #the empress 2022 #my gifs #also I just found out that they did not even have a chemistry read/test while franz/elisabeth did and I'm just sitting here like how?? #don't get me wrong the chemistry between elisabeth/franz is good but theirs is so much better imo #also what would have happened if they had no chemistry at all #the relationship would not have been believable smh #I personally think that the whole main cast should do chemistry tests #bc sometimes I watch shows and I see romantic and platonic (especially familial) relationships and they seem so artificial #anyway

The Archduke is familiar with such visits. He's beloved among the people. Isn't that so, Your Highness? I'm happy you came along today.

I love that one line from The Empress 2022 where Franzi is like “You remind me of the way I was before I became an emperor.” Like sir, you became an emperor at eighteen. You were a literal child.

I know this kinda checks out, what with Sisi being young and immature when they got married, but somehow I don’t think that’s what the creators meant.

UGHH I'm doing a man-swoon over here reading 'Bright Star' on AO3! My only complaint is that it's only a oneshot!

@fredderssss Aww, you are too kind! ☺️ So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for sending me this sweet message. (So sorry it’s just a one-shot though, haha. I just wanted to get them to a happy place and leave them there LOL.) I really wish there were more Franz/Elisabeth fanfics out there!

I'm honestly going to commit crimes about Helene's fucking bob cut and that terrible wedding dress they gave Elisabeth. Those weird high collar-off shoulder dresses (like the one Helene wore for the wedding) are also giving me a straight aneurysm

The Empress Ep.2 and 3

I...don't feel bad for Sophie, LOL

Why are the side characters dressed so well while the main one is in clothes that worsen her look? Like, I get she's supposed to be rebellious but she can be rebellious and look good in the process!!

Aww, a monkey!

OK, i'm liking this dress better.

His smile...

Helene went full Karen, it seems.

Oooh, Sophie saw someone in Sissi.

Max is still an ass. I'm glad she's calling him out. And for the record, he's not more handsome than Franz.

Yikes, what is with Strauss' hair? Does he not own a brush???

Sneaking away to makeout? I love to see it.

Wow, they don't wear underwear? The snail trail tho.

That medical exam thing was so uncomfortable. I'm glad she kicked him. Poor girl. :(

And she's back to the ugly costumes...

Wow, Sissi's mom is outright unhinged. Pushing the waiter like that and she achieved nothing.

Sissi is totally right about those two men looking under her dress.

Ugh, are they actually doing this? Franz is this Prince of Vasa's son and therefore illegitimate? 🙄🙄🙄

Oh, so now Sophie is the woman in love? I kind of like it.

Aww, Sissi and Helene are friends again? Love to see it.

The ending of ep 2 was underwhelming do I'm combining the two.

I'm not...a fan of the wedding dress. It's not ugly by any means, but I wish they'd at least tried to make it more historically accurate.

Franz is serving tho.

Wow, they're really giving us 'The Crown' realness.

Is the court dancing to Beyonce? I'm pretty sure that's not what waltz looks like.

Ooh, the mistress is here to stir shit up.

I'm with you Franz, Max is a little bitch.

OH MY GOD, Sophie is getting it on at her son's wedding!! Get it girl!!!

...is she going to blow him??? For a moment there I thought they'd start role-playing LOL.

Her dad is such a degenerate. She's right. He acts like an asshole and calls it freedom.

OK, I the wedding really the place and the time for diplomatic conversations? I swear, he held like 3 important state talks instead of being with his bride and enjoying himself.

I'm getting lesbian vibes from Sophie's bestie.

Max looked like a lunatic and a little boy while he was sitting on the throne.

God, Sissi's family is awful. They all want something from her and when they don't get it, they're shit talking her. Shame on you, bastards!!!

The sex scene was hot.
