Why he light skinned?

[yourladyindank]

Because Martin Luther was white and German.

[fancynewaddress]

did…

did someone confuse Luther with Jesus omg

[lookwhathappenedtomack]

I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King

[lets-talk-about-sects]

Oh no

[the-golden-ghost]

I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.

[twofacetoo]

At that point it’s your own damn fault for making that kind of mistake

Grief is so intense and feels so so horrible and even after 21 years on this earth I still don't know how to properly deal with the ache and burning in my chest... and yet I persevere with realising that the fact that I know grief means that I know happiness

Hey sorry your boyfriend got reintroduced as a major character in an artist’s historical drama story after 3 years of development hell. Yeah he’s a hot twinky and the things people want to do to him are horrendous. No yeah he also got shot with the trauma gun and now he’s known as the guy with emotional issues who got cucked by the king and unable to get over his ex gf for six decades. Yeah I’m sorry.

[mmezallie]

Sometimes a betrothal is you, your fiancée, and her boyfriend who also happened to be serving in the same regiment that you, as a royal, is colonel-in-chief of...

Philippe, THE King of Sommerheim (1722-1810)

[mmezallie]

The Residency Registry of Kylian Pieters and Odeya Wesley (briefly Odeya Wesley Pieters), c. 1744

It was a well-known, yet also odd point in Sommerheim's history where in the eyes of the law, Kylian Pieters and Odeya Wesley, the future Queen consort of Sommerheim, were technically civilly "married". Kylian registered Odeya, then new to Sommerheim, under his surname and declared her a part of his household. She would then proceed to live under his roof for the next three years.

This was called a residency marriage-- A popular legal strategy of an foreigner taking the surname of a local resident, in order to be able to live in Sommerheim while waiting for their own residency permit, considered an early prototype of a citizenship. Yet this was far from romantic; all of this was done in an effort to keep Odeya in Sommerheim and prevent her being kicked out before she received her own living permit. They weren't in love... Or at least initially.

Interestingly enough, it was known that Odeya received her own permit around 1745, yet she continued to live with Kylian and did not drop his surname until 1747.

But as much as this seemed to be a promising start to a love story, history would prove that this is not a tale with a happy ending-- Rather, it is one of a love tragically turned unrequited, riddled with a lifelong obsession and hopeless devotion.
