Born in 1938, Astrid was a war-child, and her wealthy family lived in the well-heeled area of Altona, Hamburg. Evacuated to the Baltic, she missed the word of the hostilities, but life was not easy on her return to Hamburg. “Luckily, my family’s house was not destroyed, although all the windows were blown out and we did not have any heating. Thankfully, we were all alive. The main focus was “How do we get food?” My mother was especially successful in this. She sold or exchanged everything we had, the furniture and all her jewellery, to get money to buy food.
“Although it was the war, I had a happy childhood. Altona is close to the harbour, and many houses – including the whole road next to ours – were destroyed, but we had a lot of fun playing on the bomb sites. Our parents warned us not to play there, but we always did – because it was so interesting!”
Astrid’s artistic flair- especially for textiles – was soon recognised, and encouraged by her mother Neilsa. “At home, we lived in the kitchen because that was the only place my mother could heat. It was also the only room that still had windows. We did not have any radio, so at night my mother used to draw things such as the dresses she used to wear before the war. She would sit in the kitchen on dark winter nights sewing little dresses for my dolls, and would show me how to do it. Here family had been very rich, and she taught me about texture and things that are fine. That influenced me a lot. She taught me to draw when I was 6 or 7. Later I was keen to become a fashion designer.
When it was time for me to go to college I attended Hamburg School of Fashion and Design. Here I met Reinhart Wolf, who taught me about photography. Gradually, I changed my mind and decided to become a photographer. Reinhart taught me about faces – that it was what was behind a face that a photographer should try to reach when they tool a portrait. When I graduated, I became Reinhardt's assistant, which was a great honour. My mother bought me a good camera – a Rollercord – and Reinhart encouraged me to take pictures in my spare time. He let me use his dark room and was always prepared to discuss my photos, and the art of composition. That was what I was doing when I met The Beatles.”

YOUR NEW SISTER IN LAW
So a couple months ago, I made a 'What if Bridgerton was a comic strip?' thing. I had ideas for more, but so far I've just done 2 very Kate/Anthony centric ones.
Anyway, this was the 1st one. Yeah... in this universe we all just stop pretending that Kate and Anthony aren't obviously end game.

“He went to Art School in the daytime whilst I went to work for Reinhardt. When he got home, my mother made him a meal, and the he would go up in to the attic and paint until I came home. I was often late, arriving at eight o’clock. He would rush down, and even though I was tired, we would talk and talk, but by eleven he would be painting again. There were times when he was painting that he could be so intense. When he had an idea, it didn’t matter whether it was night, day, morning – he had to do it, all in one go. He read all the time too. He could read, and write a letter at the same time, he was an absolute maniac in a way!”

Jaime Lannister. Colin Bridgerton. James Beaufort.
My favorite male archetype is beautiful dumbass who falls in love so hard he causes physical damage to himself and I see nothing wrong with that.
#jaime lannister#colin bridgerton#james beaufort#maxton hall#i am laughing to the point of tears here#and if I drag my friends down with me THAT IS QUITE ALL RIGHT#my only fave guy that doesn’t fall into this trap is Carl from DCC#and that’s because he has a deeply fulfilling platonic relationship with his cat#but L and I are certain he’s burying his feelings for Imani deep deeeeeep down#because if he lets himself feel something aside from murder murder terror he might start sobbing and never stop

Karaoke ⎥ Chicago Blackhawks
As per usual, I went with the players that I know. I have no idea what their music preferences are, this is purely based off vibes. This what I think the Chicago Blackhawk's go-to karaoke songs are.
masterlist
Connor Bedard - he knows every word to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel for some reason that he never tells anybody. He is dared to sing it one day because it's an older song, so he does it perfectly and surprises every person in the room
Colin Blackwell - 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. 100%
Jason Dickinson - a stunning rendition of 'Vienna' by Billy Joel
Ryan Donato - keeps it classic with 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey. It's very mid, but not bad
MacKenzie Entwistle - a horribly off-key version of 'Livin' on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi
Nick Foligno - claims he is too old for karaoke but sticks with the classics too and goes with either 'Hotel California' by Eagles or 'Under Pressure' by Queen
Taylor Hall - there's about a 55% chance he sings something Nickleback and the other 45% is 'Love Like This' by BlackHawk for some sentimental reason
Seth Jones - something Katy Perry, I feel like. No reason, just a feeling. More than likely it's 'Firework'
Kevin Korchinski - either something by Zach Bryan or a 'The Last Saskatchewan Pirate' by Captain Tractor duet with Reese Johnson (please tell me somebody will get it)
Philipp Kurashev - adorably accented version of 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. Everybody loves it
Petr Mrazek - first an enthusiastic attempt at 'Dream On' by Aerosmith, then plays it safe with 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond, met with applause and sing-along
Connor Murphy - also claims he's too old for karaoke, then proceeds to whip the most excellent cover of 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi out of his back pocket and absolutely floors everybody
Alex Vlasic - 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon or 'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains of Wayne. Or some other 2000's hit

ngl there were a few moments in this season where i thought the twist was gonna be the next Bridgerton girl in line was gay, but then it was just she wants a small family with a guy who’s quiet.
#bridgerton#the bit where all the debutantes were talking about their dream husbands#and Francesca was just kinda spaced out#and fumbled for a simple answer#or the conversation with Penelope at the first hall#felt like something beyond being the quiet one was being said#but alas#Penelope and Colin getting into it in the carriage was a surprise#it’s gonna be awkward if they get too carried away some time#and she ends up pregnant before her married sisters#but that might be more drama than i can hope for in just 4 more episodes
