Call me freaked n geeked but I really don’t like when people brush off surrealist passion projects as like oh, just another weird side of YouTube video that traumatized a bunch of kids online in 2010!

That type of media is not for everyone—and I 100% get why lol it’s fuckin bizarre—but I wish people could understand that things like DHMIS and Shaye are genuine pieces of art that managed to resonate with so many people instead of just being another creepy weird thing on the internet!!1!

The day before his execution, Charles I was permitted to see two of his children one last time. Elizabeth and Henry Stuart had been in the custody of Parliament since they were six and two years old, and were now thirteen and eight. The rest of Charles's family were in exile in France, aside from his eldest daughter Mary, who had married the Prince of Orange.

At her father's instruction, Elizabeth later wrote an account of the meeting. An onlooker recalled that she was weeping so heavily that "the king said 'Sweet-heart, you'll forget this,' but that she promised that she "shall never forget this, whilst I live," and pouring forth an abundance of tears, promised to write down the particulars."

Charles instructed her that she was to obey her eldest brother as the new king, and named her some Protestant books to read to "ground her against Popery," also gifting her a bible. He advised her to forgive his executioners, "but never to trust them, for they had been most false to him and to those that gave them power." More personally, he asked that she "tell my mother that his thoughts had never strayed from her, and that his love would be the same to the last."

Turning to the young Duke of Gloucester, he set the child on his knee, saying "Sweet-heart, now they will cut off thy father's head." He explained that Parliament might try to crown him as a puppet king, but warned "thou must not be a king as long as thy brothers Charles and James do live; for they will cut off your brothers' heads when they can catch them, and cut off thy head too at the last." Little Henry assuaged his father's fear by exclaiming "I will be torn in pieces first!"

Elizabeth would die in her captivity a year later, catching pneumonia after being made to travel while already sickly, allegedly found with her head resting on her father's bible. Her simple grave in a local church was marked only with her initials, ES. Henry would remain in custody for another two years, finally joining his family in exile. Elizabeth's story - the innocent princess becoming a forgotten casualty of war, became a popular subject for Victorian romanticists, with Queen Victoria herself commissioning a marble statue for her tomb. The statue shows Elizabeth with her head resting on her bible, an iron grate in front being lifted away.

Not to be all "capitalism is a disease look how it ruined this children's book" but the knowledge that the special edition journal three was written with the express intent of like, parents helping their kids read the blacklight pages and creating a fun experience for kids only for the price of the books to end up being $100 US because the blacklight ink/glue/thing was expensive and disney publishing could only sink enough money into it to print a couple thousand (originally 5,000 which was later doubled to 10,000) is really getting to me and yeah there are a million other/more important things wrong with capitalism but like. A book that was written for children wound up being read by exactly zero children because there were only 10,000 printed and they cost a hundred bucks. And by the time any of those adults have kids old enough to even watch the dang show it's not going to be relevant and there's no guarantee that they'll like it and there's no guarantee that there will even be a legal way to watch it in the first place and it just-- sucks. The whole thing sucks.

harry styles really wrote an album about long-term relationship which is overflowing with love in all its diverse forms, with domesticity, with assurance, with softness, and with profound emotions including a declaration of the deepest lifelong love, steady through the good and the bad, always choosing to keep going (driving), he really did that

Getting very tired of news outlets picking up any and every fan theory under the sun and publishing articles about them.
