When I started watching Queen Charlotte and found out that she had 13 kids I was like holy shit, why so many? But after finishing the show, it was evident that it was in an effort to continue the bloodline but I also feel like it was so that all the pressure wouldn’t just fall on one child’s shoulder, the way it did with George.
George never wanted to be king, he just wanted a simple life where he could spend his days in an observatory and farming. But he was also someone who wouldn’t push back, even felt like he couldn’t so he bore the weight of it all for the sake of his mother and for the sake of the country.
And I think it’s safe to say, it’s these moments of pressure, where it becomes evident and heavy on him, that’s when he spirals into another world - he’s escaping into a new reality. The first time we see it happen on screen is when he learns of Charlotte’s arrival. She’s already coming from a long way and it’s a done deal, no room for argument.
On the day of his wedding when he overhears that his bride-to-be was a runaway bride, the pressure built, once again, everything was at risk and it was because of him.The anxiety builds, on the verge of turning into a full-blown panic attack and he can feel himself fading away under the weight of it all. That’s when he seeks out the doctor and is snapped back to the present. Charlotte’s presence further solidifies his presence in reality.
The other time we see it is when he learns that Charlotte is pregnant, which I’m sure he inherently felt happy about but in his anxiety-prone mind, he likely felt that now he was not only going to be disappointing his love, Charlotte, but their child as well.
He already feels like he’s half a man for Charlotte, less than what she deserves, I imagine it doubled with the thought of being half a father to their child. Maybe he even felt like he was dooming his child’s life before it had even begun.
It’s these instances in which George is reminded of the weight of the country, the weight of his family’s well-being, and how it all rests firmly on his shoulder and it’s his to bear alone, it being his bloodline.
I think between Charlotte and George, they decided they loved each other so much and would have as many children as she could safely carry. That way no one child of theirs carried the weight as George had to.
...and I want to weep for them. 😭 😭

The local witch store I went to yesterday was apparently Roman Polytheist-owned! They had active altars to Mercury and Venus set up in the shop.
It really made my day, because every other shop in the area seems to be Wiccan/monotheist-oriented.

i do wish there was more complicated exploration of steve’s sexuality that wasn’t just ‘well i’ve always liked girls so it can’t be both -> oh it is both’. and maybe this is something i have to solve for myself. but i had a journey of like lesbian? -> bisexual? (still a girl?) -> bisexual (boy now) -> gay man (complicated microlabels aside bc i was like 13-16) and i know a lot of other people don’t have a straightforward ‘i thought i was straight turns out i’m not and this is what i am definitely’ process. so i think it would be cool if we explored that more. with steve. (and not just in a throwaway ‘eddie and steve switch sexualities wouldn’t that be fun’ kind of way. which i have seen). this fandom would not do that i think because they are so attached to tropes and not real examinations of characters like they are human people but i like to imagine. anyways i love gay steve i love gay eddie and i love you
hehe i love you too and i agree 💖💖 i think the most fun part about liking fictional works is being able to at whatever depth of your choosing think about a character and the traits they may or may not possess and something as fun + varied + personal as lgbt identity could be immensely satisfying to explore in a creative world where something like that doesn't get typically explored SO! to each their own but personally i think we have had enough "Oh i'm bisexual now by the way because of eddie yeah did you know you can like both i'm so silly aren't i because i didn't know that" stories. in every possible format and headcanon and what the hell ever.

Chen anon. So sorry abt all the Chen stuff but like thinking abt show Chen & Skylor meeting again like obvi “a bit” rocky at first since the last time she saw him was pre darklys and he did have a lot of time to get to know her. I think he wants to like her but is still mad she helped send their dad to Lego hell. Even if he didn’t like their dad that much. And why would you wanna go from top ranking in a cool evil organization to JUST owning a NOODLE business 🙄. But I think their first definitive bonding experience is when Chens having some trouble trying out a new recipe or smthin and she helps. They bond over the small stuff
do NOT apologize this is absolutely delightful i already adore skylor and i am always a proponent of wacky bratty sibling relationships. it’s good for them both <3
