Reminder that Oscar Wilde r@ped two 16-17 year old boys and when asked if he kissed one (Walter) he said the boy was ugly and that he pitied him for it 😕
I believe Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie) r@ped at least one of the boys (?) as well.
So as influential and iconic Oscar Wilde and his stories were, he was a horrible person and deserved to go to prison. He just went for the wrong reason.
Good day.
Lord Byron left Percy Shelley’s funeral early.
Sybil Vane and Ophelia should have a conversation over tea about their stupid misogynistic boyfriends.
Yapping about history and Shakespeare plays at my gf’s house is literally my favorite activity 💕💕

Today- January 24- is the day that Frederick the Great (Frederick II of Prussia) was born in 1712. He was a great king and military strategist. He was thoroughly abused by his father throughout his childhood. His father hated everything French, while Frederick loved France. He spoke and wrote mostly in French- though his father wanted him to learn German. Frederick’s later best friend was Voltaire, a French philosopher. Frederick HATED his father. He wished to be buried by his six Italian Greyhounds instead of by his father (though he was later put in a tomb beside his father after he died. Eventually, in 1952, they properly buried him by his dogs as he had wished). In 1730, Frederick attempted to run away to England with his tutor/friend/probable lover, Hans Hermann von Katte. Frederick was 18 at the time; Katte was 26. Frederick’s father later executed Katte on November 6 of the same year. He had some guards forcibly hold Frederick against the bars of the window as he watched Katte be decapitated by his father.
Frederick, when he later became king in 1740, served as an amazing ruler and did many great things for his country. He won many battles and was a very interesting historical figure. After he died, Napoleon Bonaparte, Corsican military strategist and Emperor of France, visited his tomb on October 26, 1806 and said, “Messieurs, nous ne serions pas là s'il était ici” (gentlemen, we would not be here if he were alive).
Frederick the Great was also idolized by Adolf Hitler, who went so far as to have a picture of him hung up.
Hitler’s obsession with Frederick did numbers on the dead king’s reputation during World War Two because he had been turned into a symbol of Nazism.
He's a very interesting historical figure and this barely begins to tell his story. If you'd like to learn more, here’s a few of videos that I learned a lot from!

One day there will be some historian or history-obsessed person who’s special interest is the 21st century. I HAVE to see those little losers studying this generation 💕💕
dorian only thinks his portrait is beautiful because he sees it as a depiction of his fleeting youth and identity, but the truth is the portrait is actually a reflection of basil, the artist, who put too much of himself in it. it’s not dorian who is beautiful, but rather basil’s pure love for him, which in turn is a reflection of basil’s soul and true nature. by loving dorian, and embracing his love through art without shame, basil has created the most precious thing, even if it is fleeting. much like romance, all art is quite useless, but it touches the human spirit nonetheless, and that’s important
My favorite fact about Lord Byron is that when he went to college, they didn’t allow him to have a dog. So of course, he decided to bring a fucking bear. Because why not?
Im a bit late but happy pride month! Everyone, no matter what they identify as or what their sexuality is, is valid, even if you’re questioning or use a less talked about label.
Laurens: Fun game: play peek-a-boo with your baby, but never reappear
Hamilton: My dad was good at this game
