glad to see you’re back!!!!! <3

Kinda-

So I'm out of the psych ward, but now I'm in a WG (Wohngruppe / Living group in English, I think). We have phone rules, unfortunately, so I'm not able to be online as much as I wanna, but it's better than the psych ward. So yeah :)

Do not despair fratte nation I haven't forgotten you (and my own need to produce fratte art)

Frederick II and the Katte tragedy with Star Wars quotes:

Fritz to Hans: "I don't like the sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating. Not like you. You're soft and smooth." 

Von Holtzendorff to Hans: "I have a very bad feeling about this."

Friedrich Wilhelm to his son: "I am your father!"

Friedrich Wilhelm to his son: “The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.”

Fritz to his father: “Don’t call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease!”

Wilhelmine about Hans, walking in front of her: “Would somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?”

The sorrows of young Wilhelmine

More sketches! Another hot topic from the group chat: How would Wilhelmine have reacted to Fredersdorf? :’D Keith and Katte were on ultra thin ice on the “You deserve to spend time with my brother”-lake and they were nobles (in Katte’s case altmärkischer Uradel), so… imagine status conscious Mine reacting to the musician’s son from Gartz an der Oder.

The sketchbook pages say 1730 and 1732. I do feel like it’s rather fitting that Fritz looks like he’s aged at least five years in the span of two, so I tried to go for a more tired look. And if you zoom in, the nose is there! :’D

(How obvious is it that my drawing capability for the day slowly ran out? Fredersdorf, dear, you deserve so much better than me)

“The closest [Frederick William I] came to adultery, according to his daughter Wilhelmine, was to lust after one of his wife’s ladies-in-waiting, the beautiful but virtuous Frau von Pannewitz. With his usual lack of subtlety, he let his desires be known in an offensively direct manner and was rejected with equal vehemence. However, when he encountered the lady on a narrow staircase in the ducal palace at Brunswick, to which the court had moved for his son’s wedding, he resumed his wooing by grabbing her breasts. The lady responded by punching him so hard that his nose and mouth bled copiously. This experience put him back on the straight and narrow, but ever after he referred to Frau von Pannewitz as “that evil witch.””

“Frederick was frightened of gunfire, fell off his horse, did not stand up straight, was dirty and untidy, slept late, was happy on his own or with women. The king wanted his son to go about his business with a smile on his face, but the crown prince was mocking or melancholic. After the Saxon visit, Frederick William let it be known to Colonel von Rochow that all ‘effeminate, lewd, womanly concerns were most indecent for a man’. He was never one to mince words: 'He should bear it in mind’, he told the sixteen-year-old [Frederick the Great] on 11 September 1728, 'that I can’t bear effeminate fellows, who have no [normal] human inclinations, who do shameful things, who can’t ride or shoot, whose bodies are thereby unclean, who grow their hair long and curl it like fools, but all is in vain and there is no improvement at all…’”

"Friedrich ist unsere Zukunft - und wer liebte sie nicht?"

- Hans Hermann von Katte to Adolf Friedrich von der Schulenburg, Vienna, April 23rd 1730

Oh, Katte sure was far gone for Fritz... I saw this statue and thought "them", so I drew a dramatic picture of the lads. Took a while, I haven't drawn proper lighting in ages. Less dramatic version that lets you see more details under the cut!
