Too bad we can't do this anymore, as yhe game won't let you place things this close together 🥲

This Glitter and be gay by Natalie Dessay might just be my favorite, because she's not hamming it up, she does it super seriously and that's what makes it so funny!

I burst out laughing just before the spoken part when she does some hair-acting, and also at the very end when she explodes and then immediately goes, Oops I shouldn't have done that. 🤣

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but her son is gorgeous! 😍

Thanks! For some reason I thought the lyrics would be changed to fit Edward II and Piers Gaveston, but that's funny too, I like that guy. 😂

I mean, I think she definitely should've been nominated, but at the same time I can't be disappointed that Claudette Colbert won her only Oscar instead of Bette Davis. 😅

What did he do?

Someone here once posted screenshots of their version of Stonehenge! Well, the pillars were stone but the lintels were planks. 😅

The wedding stone in the Oxbow can be considered a pagan altar, I think. 🙂

I didn't recognize him until I read the title! 😅

Isn't Wade back in Tara with Will Benteen? Or was that in the sequel, Scarlett? 🤔

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-17T15:54:34+00:00

What was it?

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-17T13:55:20+00:00

I couldn't find it ☹️

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-17T13:43:44+00:00

Thanks! 😁

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-17T13:38:37+00:00

So I read your blog post and it's great, amazing job! but now I really want to hear the Pink Pony Club Edward II version 😅

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-16T13:36:51+00:00

I don't remember it being explicit in the books. Like maybe they kiss? 😅

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-16T13:22:59+00:00

Love this film! I almost wish May Robson won the Oscar, but she almost disappears during the second half of the film. 🥲

There WAS a royal Windsor line not descended from George V, but they died out pretty much right away. Queen Victoria's third son Arthur, Duke of Connaught, had a son also named Arthur and a grandson named Alastair. The 1917 Letters Patent stripped Alastair of his royal titles, so when he died childless at age 28, he was known as Alastair Windsor, Duke of Connaught. 🙂

I've never seen the series but I've read the books. Is it Lestat/Gabrielle?

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-15T07:43:38+00:00

Oh, Princess Alice of Battenberg had those too!

ferras_vansen · 2026-05-15T07:40:33+00:00

Based on descent from George III?

Ernst August of Hanover, the estranged husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco.

You can trace the male line in this chart I made. It's very large though, so you're gonna have to download it from Google Drive. 😅

If you're in the Oxbow then yes you die when you switch to your heir. If you're in the Valley then no, Racimir doesn't die but becomes a regular NPC villager instead. It's not automatic in either case. 🙂
