I was reading Wikipedia and...

Just found out about this BAMF

Fredrick the Great. King of Prussia.

Listen here, Old Fritz was an amazing ruler. He was more interested in music and philosophy than war.

BUT he has great experience in the art of war and was a brilliant strategist.

Guys. He believed in absolutism, that the ruler should be the first servant of the State.

Guys, It's almost certain Old Fritz was gay.

He died childless.

He lost his reputation because Hitler idolized him and he became a Nazi symbol.

Which is a damn shame because he genuinely built the foundation that allowed Prussia to contest the Austrian Hasburgs leadership.

Guys he made library of poetry.

Guys he wrote "Anti- Machiavel" because he disliked Nicolo Machiavelli's "The Prince".

Old Fritz recieved his title 'the Great' after, at 33 years old, he got Austria to sign the treaty of Breslau & Dresden giving Prussia Silesia. I'm so proud and I'm not even Prussian.

Guys Old Fritz known as the Potato king. He was so clever.

He was against animal cruelty.

He was a francophile I'm crying XD.

He died at 74.

What a guy.

That.

That says "King" right?

Oml. His signature is just King. 😭

Low-key he's my fav. I thought I loved Catherine the Great. No, I'd just never heard about Old Fritz. Still love Miss Catherine but I gotta hand it to the Potato King okay?

His stupid ass in the meantime:

Listen, Ghost au! Katte is amazing, but what about Ghost au! Katte who cannot speak? Like, I know technically ghosts probably wouldn't respect the laws of nature and logic, but Ghost! Katte who can't talk because, you know, his head got cut off? I'm pretty sure that makes your vocal chords not be usable anymore. Just hear me out, please; Ghost! Katte frantically motioning with his hands (because no Pen and paper or whatever) and Friedrich trying to understand what his dead boyfriend is demanding of him.

The kinsey scale is an outdated oversimplification of human sexuality... that said methinks old fritz was a 5.99 ...wouldst thou agree?

first off: love every single word in this ask and its potent healing powers cleared up my lung infection thanks friend

second off: yeah I think he experiences some very very minor attraction to women, but it’s truly a case-by-case basis (and there’s only, like, two that come to mind). but he’ll fall in lust with any man that has a somewhat working brain and ample swagger. kinsley 5.999999999999
