Would you look at that, I’m at least 3 of these

In King Ludwig II’s defense, if I had basically infinite discretionary funds, was accountable to absolutely no one, and was king of a country full of picturesque landscapes, you couldn’t stop me from building myself a big gay fairytale castle on a mountaintop either.

[playwrongs]

This post is spreading and I feel bad about it because it contains misinformation, so for the record: Ludwig II did not in fact have infinite discretionary funds. He only acted as if he did. He never dipped into the public coffers for his building projects, but he spent his own fortune extravagantly and borrowed heavily from everyone he could think of. By 1885, the year before his death, he was 14 million marks in debt.

I always find this inspiring because try to name another prince of a German state. What did the rulers of Hamberg do? The Grand Duchy of Hesse? Gone with the wind, no one knows them anymore. But Mad Lad Ludwig built a top 5 most famous castle in the entire world. Money is fake, castles are real. Go broke and die like a winner.

[the-barefoot-hatter]

EXCUSE ME, this is still wrong. He built 3.

Neuschwanstein, literally the inspo for the castles in Disney's Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella

Hohenschwangau, the practical castle

Linderhof, the final, the smallest, and the MOST fab.

Every room is incredible and the park is beautiful, but shoutout to The Bedroom, the biggest room

The Hall of Mirrors, which he probably wandered by candle light because he was a serious night owl

The Dining Room, with a wishing table that lowers to the kitchen, and rises with a crank, returning magically full of food

The Venus Grotto, constructed for the sole use of Ludwig to larp to his heart's content

A full artificial cave, it features a waterfall, fake stalactites, and a custom-designed swan boat floating on an artificial lake. The first electricity in Bavaria was generated here, to change the colors of the stage lights and to power Ludwig's fountain and wave machine.

Now THAT'S ~ ✨✨ 14 million marks in debt ✨✨~

[marzipanandminutiae]

I love that- and I cannot emphasize this enough -none of this was tax money

the public paid for zero of his fairytale castle hobby

rare European monarch W as far as spending money lavishly goes

"Your son will take your throne from you," they prophesized, spitting each word out of teeth clenched tight with hatred. Why they'd bother prophesizing such an event befuddles you; your son is literally your chosen heir, after all.

[caffeineatedpervert]

I wave my hand a little as I speak to my son "now listen okay. Obviously your going to be king. But! I don't want you to be fuckin around with failed prophecys, hell I don't want to screw with that. Wizards are weird and bitter. So here's what we're gonna do okay, on your eighteenth birthday, your going to to over throw me and "take" the crown, Ill train you more rigourlsy in swordsmanship so we can have a dramatic battle"

My son sighs, resigned and long suffering "dad I don't think we have to do all that. Wouldn't me just.... taking the crown out of your hands count?"

I shake my hand and wave him away "nonono I won't risk I heard of a man that went through something similar and he got turned inside out. Still alive, just having a terrible time. That's not the kind of life I want for my son, I won't risk it. Besides, don't you want to spar with your old man? Really give to me? You could brush up on your planning when it's time for your coup!"

My son sighs

The king listens to you. The prince learns from you. You can raise commoners to greatness and humble foolish nobles. But the court never could understand the power you hold because they can’t look beyond the jester costume.

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

"This is clever. See, we genetically modified a dog to be able to talk. And gave it to a group of quirky teens who are, get this, all interested in solving mysteries." "How is that clever?" "In the last 6 months, they've solved 2 cold cases, 5 homicides, and 21 attempted felony thefts."

I was suspicious so I inspected the DOM just to make sure. Didn't see anything sketchy about the post itself but eXCUSE ME, WTF ARE THESE CSS CLASS NAMES???

[the-typing-dragon]

I mean its more than likely just a generated class. I can almost guarantee you that tumblr staff are not manually editing classes if they look like that

[cosmogyros]

(yeah it's probably minified, but in the context of the OP that wasn't so funny to say ;D)
