The Great (Hulu) season 3 just came out and we haven't finished watching it YET, but we need to talk about how incredible Catherine and Peter's love is.
Like come on, Peter is an indefensibly horrible man who has done some incredibly unforgivable things (we are still crying over Leo, plus fucking Catherine's mom to dead is batshit), but.....we just can't stop rooting for him and Catherine to somehow get their happily ever after. Is it insane? Yes. Are we planning on changing? No
It's wonderful that Catherine went through with stabbing Peter at the end of season 2 (she thought it was him which is what counts), because even though she lives him with all her heart, she's still trying to make rational decisions
(Season 3 spoilers in this paragraph) Even things like him refusing to kill the man who assaulted him as a child because Catherine didn't want to (he only slipped up after Simitz taunted Grigor), and the fact that he doesn't want to sleep with anyone other than Catherine anymore is so much evidence of his growth!!!
Anyway, the point is that their chemistry is incredible and I am rooting for them till my dying breath! What do you think? Watch out video and let us know!!

Louis Caravaque (French, 1684–1754) • Portrait of Elizabeth of Russia • 1750 • State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
Definitely over-dressed but we can forgive her for it, as she banned executions. She never married and was a proponent of sexual freedom. Kudos, Elizabeth!
The outrageous, extravagant, humorous, and often beautiful outfits worn by subjects of old portraits.

Queen Alexandra’s Christmas Book
Photographs from my camera
Published by “The Daily Telegraph”, London 1908, 136 photographs
euro 60,00
The British royal family have been fans of photography for nearly two centuries now, and several members have been and are avid photographers. The Duchess of Cambridge’s photographs are currently being featured in an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum in London. However, earlier members of the royal family have also shared their photographs publicly. Queen Alexandra, consort to King Edward VII, actually sold her photos to raise money for several different charities.
Queen Alexandra’s Christmas Gift Book- Photographs From My Camera is a bound-book that features 136 photographs from Alexandra’s own collection. 90 of the images are printed in photogravure, with the remaining 46 mounted by hand on dark green pages. The photographs offer a “behind the scenes” look at royal life at the end of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. It features photographs of the Dowager Empress of Russia, the King of Denmark, several future British monarchs (including George V, Edward VIII, and George VI), and many other European royals.

“My eldest daughter Alexandra is soft, sensitive and intelligent; she is very sweet, although not beautiful. But Elena is surprisingly good; she is extremely kind, but too playful. Maria has a brilliant mind and a beautiful heart, but her beautiful appearance was damaged by smallpox. Ekaterina, this one is a beautiful little doll, darling; very funny; the youngest, spoiled child of her mother.”
- Grand Duchess (later Empress) Maria Feodorovna of Russia on her four elder daughters, Grand Duchesses Alexandra, Elena, Maria, and Ekaterina, ca. 1791.
