the great. @huzzahed - Tumblr Blog

independent 18+ writing blog for catherine from hulu’s the great with absolutely no historical basis whatsoever. i have absolutely not done my research and we will all just have to live with that. really just here cause i wanted to make a pink blog. i also genuinely do not remember what happened in the show so good luck to all of us.

adult themes present following the show, especially in threads with @huzzahband. i won’t be tagging written depictions of or references to canon-typical violence, but i will tag references to sexual violence on the off chance that it is mentioned.

exclusive to @huzzahband ’s portrayal of peter, selective, and mutuals-only.

post - season two ? like, immediately post ?

paul is sleeping soundly in the other room, pugachev’s blood still sticky on the floor. she ought to seek him out, make certain that he is alright, that he has found help, that he does not talk. she ought to do a lot of things, like slip her knife between peter’s ribs, do it right, be the ruler russia needs.

all she finds herself capable of in this moment, however, is slumping over peter’s lap, burying her face in a pillow, and crying.

“ i hate you. ” she can barely get the words out between sobs, finally forcing herself to sit up. “ i hate you. why couldn’t i do it? ”

she asks as if he might truly give her an answer, as if it is his duty as her husband to inspire her to act. the others will be furious with her -- marial, orlo, velementov. but what good is it to be empress if you cannot decide who lives or dies? can she save russia, if she cannot save peter?

catherine slumps against peter again, though this time she remains mostly upright, resting her chin on his shoulder, clinging to him as tight as she can. she thinks he has taken her knife, but she does not care enough to ask. her whole body shakes, her fingertips numb, her resolve wholly crumbled.

“ the others will surely kill you as soon as they see that i have failed. why have you done this to us, @huzzahband ?? why could you not have simply died? ”
