SIDEBAR can i just take a sec to talk about laura ingalls’ husband tho
not only was almanzo wilder the finest piece of ass in the entire midwest, the continental united states & possibly the world during victorian times as evidenced here
but even better:
in late 1880, when he was just 23– during the most vicious winter ever recorded in US history— he fearlessly risked his life on the open prairies of dakota territory amidst sub-degree temperatures & raging winter storms on a batshit insane hail-mary mission that had zero probability of success, unbelievably beating the odds... first by locating a food source only to top that by outmaneuvering a blizzard & escaping certain death by a matter of mere minutes
ultimately saving laura ingalls, her whole family, and her entire town from death by starvation during the last leg of a never-ending blizzard that lasted for 7 uninterrupted months
and she *still* played him off his best friend & made him wait 3 years before she let him hit it. like damn girl holy shit
