The Way I See It, Alfred Is Both The Black Sheep Of His Family And The Crown Prince In Arthur's Eyes.

the way i see it, alfred is both the black sheep of his family and the crown prince in arthur's eyes. the disgraceful wretched lad and the golden boy. the son who scorned lord father's ""generosity"" and who remade himself the most in his image (empire, naval power and hegemon, in both the atlantic and the pacific). arthur has no problem seeing it that way. his greatest disappointment and his greatest hope. the one who will help bring down the curtain on the formal british empire, but the one who will also help british imperial power and relevance endure in the postwar afterlife. alfred once said there was noone he hated more than his father, alfred vows he will be nothing like the corrupt old world that arthur springs from, that he is a genuine idealist who sees a better world to be made ahead but—what is pax americana, but the progeny of the british empire? even when clad in noble-sounding goals and american charisma, what is that but the same ruthless ambition that arthur sees, in the sea-blue of alfred's eyes? arthur knows it, everyone else knows it. alfred has his father's hands. he is his father's son.

• culiacan, sinaloa

we made it after 24+ hours on the road [distant sobbing noises]! I've met family members for the first time, had the best seafood of my life, and had some mexican starbucks (minus the lack of ethics)! if you want to try mexican food, if you like shrimp, and you like spicy stuff, please try aguachile.

My controversial take for the India fandom is to write India murdering England with his bare hands instead of forgiving England for colonialism and dating him maybe

This weekend about 2 billion people will celebrate Christmas across the world, and the birth of their religion in Palestine. Today the only remaining 700 Christians, the descendants of the first followers of Christ, are being wiped out in Gaza and their churches bombed to pieces. [@/ Hanine09 on X. 12/23/23.]
