“We must be greater in spite of ourselves.”

— Letter from Napoleon to Alexander

k-wame

“It may be surmised that much of the emperors’ three-hour interview was spent in a competition of mutual flattery, at which both were supremely adept. Alexander came away from the interview with the impression (perhaps mistaken) that susceptibility to flattery was Napoleon’s weak point; Napoleon (perhaps with equally little reason) thought the same of alexander. "I am satisfied with Alexander,” he later wrote to Josephine, “and he must be satisfied with me. If he were a woman, I think I would make him my mistress.” The thought is staggering. Yet, even if Alexander was not prepared to become Napoleon’s mistress, there can be no doubt that he had quite suddenly developed something close to hero worship for his conqueror and that he was determined to ally himself with France. The terms of the alliance, as will be seen shortly, were no less sensational than was the sudden passion that the two monarchs conceived for one another.“

NIMONA (2023) | BALLISTER + AMBROSIUS

Some of us don't get the happily ever after we were looking for. Maybe it's not that kind of kingdom. Or maybe it's not the end of the story.

Ben Aldridge as Matthew Venn and Declan Bennett as Jonathan Roberts in THE LONG CALL (2021)

I was raised… I was raised in fear and shame. I was raised to despise myself. I know it’s what you believe. I know that you didn’t mean to, or maybe you didn’t see what I was, or even admit it to yourself, because I did a very good job of hiding it. Mum… If I could have turned myself straight, I would have. If I could have taken a pill, or if the praying had worked… Even after I left, I spent years just hiding myself, just working, doing everything I could to be good, to redeem myself. And it was sad and it was lonely and I spent years like that.

And then…

Then I met Jonathan. And he showed me that I didn’t have to be scared all the time of people seeing who I really am. That I can be loved.
