Skansen Midsummer Maypole Dance :: 1940s Stockholm Sweden
* * * *
The Solstice
They say the sun will come back at midnight after all my one love but we know how the minutes fly out into the dark trees and vanish like the great ʻōhiʻas and honey creepers and we know how the weeks walk into the shadows at midday at the thought of the months I reach for your hand it is not something one is supposed to say we watch the bright birds in the morning we hope for the quiet daytime together the year turns into air but we are together in the whole night with the sun still going away and the year coming back

Jiang Cheng is right wing because he travelled across time and space to the French Revolution and sat on the right side of the national assembly. he also read Edmund burke before time travelling back to feudal cultivation world china. wwx on the other hand went to the 1840s and read capital and the manifesto. he also is a postcolonialist and believes in intersectional forms of oppression.

Breaking News Alert: our gracious prince has found the beautiful young woman who came thrice to his ball—once in a dress shimmering like starlight, once in a dress luminous as the moon, and once in a dress as golden and radiant as the sun on a summer day—only to discover that she was a scullery maid working in his own kitchen! needless to say she has been executed

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them
