Hiii dear, sorry about the wait! It's been a tough week; I was pretty depressed and tired throughout... and the news didn't really help matters. But I'm glad to see you're okay!
Now don't get me wrong, I don't really like King Henry the VII as a person, but he was one of the monarchs that stuck with me; my old English and history teacher was quite enthusiastic about teaching us about him, actually. But I do agree, I think learning about his wives is probably more fascinating. I actually did really like Catherine; my teacher mentioned her when We were learning about Queen Elizabeth. I was tasked to research about her on my own time, and I liked learning what I could about her.
I forgot to mention — I also really like the Chinese monarchs! There was Qin Shihuang, the "first true" emperor of China; he united the many states of China under one rule for the first time in Chinese history. He also built the Great Wall and commissioned the Terracotta Army, thereby gifting China with billions of tourist revenue millennia later. Unfortunately he was quite brutal in his quest of conquest, but he laid the groundwork for China to emerge as the primary cultural and political powerhouse of East Asia.
But if you're looking for more benevolent empowers, there's Emperor Taizong of Tang, who led China in a "golden age". He was a devout Buddhist and believed that all manners of faith should be together peacefully.
So random question, but hypothetically... if you were a queen, what kind of queen would you be? How would you rule and what kind of things would you like to be remembered for? Just curious!
It was raining heavily here this morning, actually. But now the humidity is back again, aha urgh. Yknow when I was planning on visiting your house I wondered if it was okay if we went on a picnic together.... we talked about it before but I think it can be something cute to do. <33 After this situation I do still plan on visiting you! For now I hope everyone stays safe.
Oh goodness you know how much I love sweet bakery; that chocolate chip and Oreo chocolate cake at 5:43 looked so divine, and seems pretty easy to make too. Oooh and that ice cream bar cake at around 6:37! I just love I cream cakes in general, aaaah. Almost as much as cheesecake!
Hey, so, when you're writing, did you eve have a slump before? right now I'm kinda in a slump with that Pokémon mystery story I showed you that one time... I'm thinking of maybe... putting it aside from now and work on maybe a mystery on a different setting? Hmm.
