I’ve been watching the vlog squad for years and I never knew Kristen was Asian. I always thought she was Hispanic

I remember being really surprised when I found out.

King Louis only had a son and Philippe disliked his daughters, he didn't even recognize the one when she showed up and later slapped her. Not exactly A+ parenting

Oh honey.

First of all Louis had multiple children- though only his son is shown in the series Versailles, where I am assuming you get all of your information. Marie Anne de Bourbon was the daughter of Louis and Louise de La Valliere, one of his mistresses. Louis openly acknowledged her as his favorite daughter and she was even legitimized shortly after her birth.

As for Philippe anyone who has googled him knows he adored both is daughters, but Marie-Louise was his favorite. Upon her birth he was delighted, despite his wife Henriette being disgusted at having giving birth to a girl. Philippe visited his daughters often, and they had a very close relationship.

Maybe don’t get all your information from a television show where the main focus is creating drama, not being historically accurate.

Underrated Women of History

Agnes Sorel: Mistress of King Charles VII of France she is considered to be the first officially recognized royal mistress. She is well known for the dresses she wore, which were tailored to display her favorite breast.

Elizabeth “Jane” Shore: The Mistress of Edward IV of England, Jane used her influence at court to restore favor to those who had lost it. She was forced to undergo a walk of penance by Richard III after he suspected her of sending messages to Edward’s widow Elizabeth Woodville.

Beatriz “La Latina” Galindo: Nicknamed La Latina for her skill at Latin, Galindo is considered one of the most educated women of her time, and even served as a tutor for the children of Isabella of Castile. 

Mihrimah Sultan: The daughter of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and his wife Hurrem Sultan, Mihrimah is considered to be the most powerful imperial princess in Ottoman history, and one of the prominent figures during the Sultanate of Women.

Henrietta of England: Instrumental in negotiating the Secret Treaty of Dover between her native England and adoptive France.

Julie d’Aubigny: A 17th century swords woman and opera singer, she later broke into a convent where her female lover had been locked away by her parents. Later d’Aubigny placed the body of a dead nun in her lovers bed and set the room on fire to cover their escape.

Ching Shih: Widely considered the most successful pirate in history due to the size of the crew she commanded (300 ships manned by 20,000-40,000 pirates). Ching Shih regularly entered into conflict with the British Empire, the Portuguese Empire and the Qing dynasty.

Ada Lovelace: The daughter of the notorious Lord Byron, her love of mathematics and sciences were prompted by her mother, ultimately resulting in her becoming one of the first computer programmers.

Ida B. Wells: Active in both the civil rights movement and the women’s rights movement, Wells clashed with white feminists after criticizing them publicly for not speaking out about lynchings or African American women voting. During the women’s parade in Washington DC she waited in the crowd then joined in halfway after being told she would have to march in the back so as not to upset Southern suffragettes.

Maria Tallchief: A member of the Osage nation, she is considered the first prima ballerina in America, and the first Native American to hold the rank.

I am drunk on classic literature.

“Dear dark skinned woman, the sun loved you so much that it took its time and kissed you slowly and gently all over, worshiping every inch of your body and then made love to you. You are truly sun kissed.”

So I was rewatching season one of Stranger Things, and in episode five there is a scene where Eleven uses the pools for the first time. In the scene she sees a Russian man. Now I feel like this can’t be a coincidence. I mean Eleven needs to visualize a target right? She can’t just think of random people? Like with Heather she needed to see a photo because she had never met the girl before. And in the scene Dr. Brenner was listening through speakers so he was interested in what the man was saying. What if it was like the space race? Both America and Russia competing to see who would get there first? Maybe this was like that- who could open the gate between worlds first? And by using Eleven to spy on the Russian they were seeing how far they were, if they had made similar progress? I dont know I could be completely wrong, but it is interesting to think about!
