Thank youuuu so much guys, girls and everything in between for the ask!

(looking at you, my dears: @mercutiothecat @sogimusixals)

🎶Last song: on YouTube is "Haeri" by East Duo (and I mean it right now), on Spotify I think it's "Which Witch" by Florence and The Machine

🎬Currently watching: nothing, I don't really do movies...😐 (But please, good Lord, let me find a full video of Mozart! or Rebecca with that one specific hot actor in it!)

🦐Current obsession: *draws out comically long list like Santa Claus* Ahem. Just to name a few: Elisabeth (obvi), Byzantine iconography and Mark Seibert's voice

📚Currently reading: "Lust for Life" by Irwing Stone. It's such beautiful prose and you really relate to the character. I am a sucker for Vincent-Theo interactions!

✍️Currently working on: everything and anything, all at once

🔷Random fact of the day: Water is wet

[mercutiothecat]

Go ahead

Don't be shy

Introduce me to Á Trón

(You will regret this)

So, A trón is an objectively mid musical chronicling the events of 1456 July to 1458 January, it's about how Hunyadi Mátyás became king of Hungary but also about 20 other things half of which only the ~5 people here who enjoy(?) this musical hallucinated there.

General political situation in Hungary at the time:

The Ottomans are at the door, the king is 16 year old Habsburg Ladislaus V who is being puppeteered around by his uncle Cillei Ulrik/Ulrich of Celje; Cillei does not like the Hunyadi family. Hunyadi János is currently fighting the Ottomans at Nándorfehérvár/Belgrade.

And then said Hunyadi János dies, creating all sorts of political turmoil. And then his older son's (László) friends kill Cillei and thus even more political turmoil ensues, especially as Ladislaus' other evil advisor uncle, Garai, returns.

In the first song there is a prophecy and there's a love triangle in which Ladislaus and Mátyás are both into Garai's daughter, Anna, and she's into Mátyás but they are doomed heteros.

Also there's a completely fictional evil lady named Zofia who's puppeteering even the puppeteers.

Soundtrack on youtube

My so-so lyrics translations of:

Mátyás' main character song

Ladislaus' slightly evil solo

The "yay we won at Nándorfehérvár!!" song

How hot was Mathias on a scale of 1 to 10?

See this is the type of asks I want as a history major!! This is what historians should be debating tbh, not battles and politics.

Is the question about the real guy or Ember Márk as Mátyás in my favourite mid musical though?

Antonio Bonfini describes him in the Rerum Hungaricarum decades (Dec. IV. Book VIII.) (1497) like this:

Feel free to put the whole thing into google translate but according to this (and we have to note that Mátyás himself commissioned this chronicle in 1488, even if it was finished after his death): he was a bit taller than avarage, blonde, had dark eyes, thick eybrows, a perfect nose (whatever that means), his chin jutted out, his mouth was wide, his head was a normal size and his limbs were long.

Some contemporary/based on contemporary depictions:

I wonder when/why he became a ginger in popular culture though... probably this 16th century painting is the culprit?

I'd give him a 5/10? Based on this I think he was a regular looking guy, we definitely had worse looking kings, but also better looking ones.

Do not ask me about how hot Ember Márk is though because he infuriates me and I still hold the belief that he's only attractive as Lucheni and a little bit on these pictures, otherwise he just looks like a rejected 2010s boyband member

[schneeball08]

Ngl, if not for the nose...

[sogimusixals]

You know how Elisabeth associates herself with seagulls/ writes about herself as a seagull in her poetry?

You know how the coat of arms of the Habsburgs are eagles?

You know how eagles prey on seagulls?!

And I love how Sisi used seagulls also in association with her love of the sea and solitude and freedom, but this one is another symbolism I like to think of.

[fidelcostco]

the human brain is so cool, if you're tired and stressed enough, your brain will go, "don't worry, I got you" and shadows will start moving

[fidelcostco]

and what's the genital situation on the shadows
