AND IT IS FINALLY HERE!!!! Happy Ecto-Implosion week, everyone!! The artwork and amazing fic collab that has been in the making for the past couple months is finally here for y’all to enjoy!!
Warning for implied character death/s, experimentation, mild violence, and overall mature themes.
It’s been an amazing honor to work with @thelightningstreak for the @ecto-implosion event!!! Her stories (looking at you, CHAINED) are some of my absolute favorites in the entire phandom since I first joined in 2013, and she’s been an amazing partner to work with! I was blown away by the very first draft alone! Seriously, give her some love, and check out her works!! Thank you, Lightning, for collaborating with me on this! It's been a joy to share this with you!! :D
Artwork title: Fiat Justitia, Ruat Caelum

What books about Sisi do you recommend? 😄 Which ones are the best in your opinion?
Hello! I'm sorry for answering this so awfully late. I already recommended some of these books always before, but I tried to give some new recomendations this time!
BIOGRAPHIES:
Elizabeth, empress of Austria by Egon Conte Corti. The first biography of the empress based on primary sources; this work is to this day a point of reference for any historian who wants to write about Sisi. The book, first published in 1934, is however outdated and slightly biased (the children of archduchess Marie Valerie were the ones who opened up the family archives for Corti after all). Translations available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Hungarian, Slovak, Polish and Dutch.
The Reluctant Empress, by Brigitte Hamann. The most well sourced biography since Corti's. Hamann's book departed from the fairy tale princess image that had been established since the 50s and depicted Elisabeth as a complicated and far from perfect woman. The book, first published in 1982, is however slightly outdated and biased (Hamann just hated Elisabeth lol). There are translations available in English, Spanish, Hungarian, French, Italian, Czech, Polish and Romanian.
Sisis Weg: Vom Mädchen zur Frau by Martina Winkelhofer. I made a full review of this book last month but in short: a refreshing study at Elisabeth's childhood, teenhood and first years as empress that rely on newly available primary sources. I wouldn't recommend this book as your first approach to Elisabeth though, since Winkelhofer assumes the reader is already familiar with the "Sisi myth" and doesn't tend to give much historical context outside the necessary, which may be confusing if you aren't familiar with 19th century European history in general. Translations available in Italian, Polish and Czech.
PUBLISHED DIARIES, LETTERS AND MEMOIRS:
Das Tagebuch der Lieblingstochter von Kaiserin Elisabeth edited by Martha and Horst Schad. Archduchess Marie Valerie's diary from 1878 until 1899. I own a copy of this book and I've been slowly reading it, maybe one day I'll finally finish it. There are translations available in Italian, Hungarian and Czech.
Briefe Kaiser Franz Josephs an Kaiserin Elisabeth, 1859-1898 edited by Georg Nostitz-Rieneck. A compilation of the emperor's letters to his wife. Available (as far as I know) only in German.
Lieber Rudolf: Briefe von Kaiser Franz Joseph und Elisabeth an ihren Sohn edited by Friedrich Weissensteiner. A compilation of letters that the imperial couple wrote to their son Crown Prince Rudolf between 1860 and 1878. Available (as far as I know) only in German.
Das Tagebuch der Gräfin Marie Festetics: Kaiserin Elisabeths intimste Freundin edited by Gudula Walterskirchen and Beatrix Meyer. The diary of Elisabeth's lady-in-waiting Marie Festetics. Available in German and Hungarian.
Kaiserin Elisabeth ganz privat: Briefe an ihre intimste Vertraute Ida Ferency edited by Beatrix Meyer. All the surviving correspondance between Elisabeth and her reader and confident Ida Ferenczy. Available (as far as I know) only in German.
Unsere liebe Sisi: Die Wahrheit über Erzherzogin Sophie und Kaiserin Elisabeth edited by Gabriele Praschl-Bichler. A compilation of letters by archduchess Sophie regarding her daughter-in-law and also the life of the imperial family in general. Also available in Czech.
Aus den letzten Jahren der Kaiserin Elisabeth by Countess Irma Sztáray. The memoirs of Elisabeth's last lady-in-waiting, from the time she entered service in 1894 until the empress' assassination in 1898. Currently in the public domain in German so it can be read for free here; available also in Hungarian, French, Italian and Czech.
OTHERS:
Das Poetische Tagebuch edited by Brigitte Hamann. Elisabeth's edgy poetry. Historians drag her writing style through the mud while simultaneously using her poems as if they were her private diary. Waiting for a translation in English or Spanish to read them, available also in Hungarian and Italian.
Elisabeth: Stages in a life edited by Brigitte Hamann and Elisabeth Hassmann. A nice short book about the different places Elisabeth lived and traveled to, full with pictures. Available in German and English.
My Past by Countess Marie Larisch. The memoirs of Elisabeth's controversial niece. I don't actually recommend them for learning about the empress since they are very unreliable, hence why I din't put this book in the previous block. I do recommend reading them to double check which heavily accepted facts about Elisabeth and her family originated from here, since many historians repeat her claims uncritically, sometimes without even citing her as the source. In the public domain, you can read it for free in German here and in English here. Also available in Hungarian, French, Italian and Czech.
Tagebuchblätter by Constantin Christomanos. The diary of Elisabeth's Greek teacher from 1891 to 1894. Just as with Larisch' memoirs, Christomanos' book is a mix of fiction and reality, so you should take it with a grain of salt. You can read it for free in German here and in French here. Also available in Greek, Hungarian, Italian and Spanish.
I hope that I could help you!

Music Rec Monday: Trouble by Valerie Broussard
Recc'd today because I had started listening to it on my way home from work and it just suddenly struck a chord.
Sometimes songs are like that. I add them to a playlist or to my liked list and something in the music or the lyrics speaks to me, maybe even gives me an inkling of what story or character it belongs to, and I could listen to it within that list a million times until, one day, everything changes and it's like hearing it for the first time.
I never know what it's gonna be or when, but suddenly a song will just become The One that I need to listen to on repeat for at least half a week or more. With this one, it's something about the edge in the singer's voice, that hardness, the way it cuts, and I could see Elivia in it.
I was listening to it on the way home from work and it was like having a fanvid of my story in my head set to the song from Elivia's perspective with parts of her journey and her relationship with the boys stitching itself between the lyrics.
She is most definitely trouble.

Read -> Reading -> To-Read
I am not usually one for horror, terror, gothic, thrillers or anything of the sort, but I've decided to try reading out of my comfort zone!
Tumblr media
Read: House of Cotton by Monica Brashears
I read House of Cotton and it is not for the weak-stomached. It was a mix of creepy yet intriguing. Main character Magnolia gets way in over her head throughout the book and it is cringe-worthy to read as she escapes some of her situations.
(Trigger warning: This book does contains instances of assault.)
Reading: As the Wicked Watch by Tamron Hall
Continuing in the path of thrillers, I've just begun reading As the Wicked Watch. Knowing Tamron Hall as a reporter is what drew me to the book, but the Chicago setting and the mystery within has me not wanting to put the book down.
To Read: Murder is a Piece of Cake by Valerie Burns
I came across this mystery series by chance. While this is technically book #2, I am going to start with it. Having a bakery as a backdrop to murders within a small town is just the sweetness I need to not scare me while I read!

🎶✨️when you get this, put 5 songs you actually listen to, then publish. Send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️
OMG THANKS @theloonatic FOR ASKING ME and whoever started this ask chain because it's BEAUTIFUL to see 💓
If there's anything I love more than my favourite hyper fixation books and fanfictions, it is definitely songs so ig I'll check my on repeat for them ? Is that how this is supposed to work or just top 5 favs ? because that also seems pretty cool.
Songs
Because Halsey's vocals in the chorus are just *chefs kiss* and I love the entire album because of the lyricism ❤️‍🔥
I found this through guardians of the galaxy ending scene and IMMEDIATELY loved it 💖 the vibes in this one are just >>>>>
Let's just say that everytime this shows up my neurons begin dancing like Drax did to this very same song
Now obviously I am at heart, a six of crows fan, and thus, I am LEGALLY bound to like this song 😁🤩 and anyone who likes pirate vibes stories or atleast criminal badass protagonist vibes will DEFINITELY love it
This one is pure perfection by King Princess and honestly ? This is me after a girl looks at me for more than 2 seconds. It's a sapphic bop and I love it 💗
Random girl: *stares at me for about half a second*
Me: *already plotting our whole fictional life and breakup in my mind* 👭👩‍❤️‍👩🤰🤱💔😭
Random girl: -_-
So ANYGAYS, moving on
Probably my favourite song from Louis. The vibes are very badass and very nice overall positive but since fitfwt started I have NOT been able to forget this one because the INTRO OMG
Louis: *OOhoOOOhoOhoHUH*
Me watching the Instagram live clip I scoured for and found 70 days after it happened: 🫠🫥🥹🥲
CHILLS. EVERYTIME.
🧑‍🎤
This is a playlist I made of songs that reminds me of Six of crows book duology :-
This playlist is not really entirely made of vibes as some songs also have the perfect lyrics but overall it's just a collection of songs that I wish someone would make edits of Six Of Crows edits to it but I'm too unskilled to make.
I literally waited for so long to make this one but now it's 2h and 35 mins and that probably won't be changing unless I find a really really cool song that I HAVE to add

Just in case you’ve missed the Bigolas Dickolas book twt incident: https://bookriot.com/bigolas-dickolas-and-this-is-how-you-lose-the-time-war/amp/
K
That's how I feel about Young Mungo. It grabbed me by the throat and killed me with the unexpected, unending wells of tenderness. Can’t stop rereading because *makes choked noises*
Tumblr media
it’s about the tenderness
I live for deranged accidental book recs. that’s how I ended up reading The Half Life of Valery K in, like, two days. Saw a friend in twitter go insane about it, purchased the book and voilà, it killed me. Valery and Shekov forever and ever. Same thing happened to me with Young Mungo. I’m going to buy paper copies of the books so I can clutch them close to my chest when I read them and get overwhelmed with the feels
Tumblr media
This book ruined my life. Let it ruin yours.

Bringing this to you like a crow that found something shiny that she wants you to look at.
When he died, he didn't get a memorial service. He didn't get the vigil, the flowers, the headstone.
In fact, no one even found his body.
