Queen of Heaven & Queen of my Heart 🖤

I sing of golden-throned Hera whom Rhea bare.

Queen of the immortals is she, surpassing all in beauty: she is the sister and the wife of loud-thundering Zeus, --

the glorious one whom all the blessed throughout high Olympus reverence and honour even as Zeus who delights in thunder.

Queen Semiramis || The woman behind the myth

Queen Semiramis was born in a time of conflict, she was born from a fisher woman who could not afford to raise her and had to leave her in a field in the region of Lydia.

Sémiramis had to live off of expenses and learned how to steal, but when she turned 15 she became a priestess of Ningal, she offered sacrifices to the moon and to the rivers and streams, thanks to the help from her adoptive father Sima.

She tried to always honor the gods, especially Ningal, as she was inspired by her story.

Sémiramis sometimes bleached her hair to chestnut when she worked, and took great care of her skin and she had amber eyes.

Sémiramis knew Shamshi-Adad years later when she was 19, when in one royal walk she tripped and fell and Shamshi tried to help her. From then on, Semiramis got to build a temple for Ningal and Shamshi-Adad used to visit her.

Soon, they slowly fell in love and got married and had children starting by Adad Narari.

She made many laws that helped women, like a law that did not allow lord's to make use of "the rights of the first night", she made it possible that girls could inherit and sent many temples to be built so they could receive orphans and poor people.

She helped her husband set strategies to conquer more territories and thanks to her the Babylonian empire was starting to take shape.

After Shamshi-Adad died, Sémiramis acted as regent for her son Adad Narari. She reconquered the Medes, Persia, Armenia, etc.

She remarried the Assyrian king Ninus and had Tammuz.

As Ninus had ashy red hair with strands of honey-blonde hair with dark blue eyes and Semiramis uncommon amber eyes, along with all the conquered territories and that they spoke Babylonian and Lydian tongues now, languages that were starting to be spoken after the Akkadian language, the people started to believe they were gods and soon many tales about them were made.

Semiramis participated in the wars and she was the builder of the gates of Babylon.

When Adad Narari was old enough to rule, he still seeked her for counseling, and he gave his brother Tammuz classes too, as Tammuz would be the heir of Ninus, and he would lead the lydian tribes and elamites tribes that were behind Ninus' command, along with many girls that admired Sémiramis and volunteered to be warriors and died their hairs of dark green and bleached their eyes sea green to mix with the nature.

Adad Narari and Tammuz would live to be heroes and they looked up to their mother who was a queen by her own merit and strength, never losing her titles.

That's how Sémiramis would later be known, a goddess and the queen of heaven.

☆Ribbons In Our Hair,And Our Eyes Gleamed Mean☆

The way George didn’t want to get married because he believed his madness made him unworthy and unsafe of love and family. The way he tells Charlotte he didn’t want to get married at all. But then he fell in love with her the moment they met and spoke and knew he really had no choice because he had to secure the royal line. Once he'd done that he chose to hide himself away from her because he believed he was keeping her safe. That it’s better for them to be apart because he believes he is a beast. Not only that but because he loves her so desperately he is willing to subject himself to literal torture in the hopes it will make him better and so that he can be worthy of her (in his mind) This then juxtaposed with Charlotte literally going no. No you will not hide yourself away from me because I love you. I love you enough that nothing else matters. She realizes all the walls he put up, all the secrets he kept, all the time he spent away from her was out of love and the desire to keep her safe and protected. She could easily have accepted that. But she didn't. She refused to let him fall on his own sword and instead drags him back to herself. She promises to love him unconditionally and SHE DOES SO. She promises she will stand between the heavens and the earth for him and she fucking does it for his entire life. That is another level of devotion that is so rarely shown in media. True unconditional love in the face of great loss and sorrow and hardship. Because let me tell you slowly losing someone you love so much is a torture all its own but she never abandoned him even when he'd mostly lost his memory of her.
