#Royal Disease

[thepastisalreadywritten]

BORN ON THIS DAY:

Alexei Nikolaevich (12 August [O.S. 30 July] 1904 – 17 July 1918) was the last Tsesarevich (heir apparent to the throne of the Russian Empire).

He was the youngest child and only son of Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

He was born with haemophilia — inherited from his mother Alexandra, an X chromosome hereditary condition that typically affects males, which she had acquired through the line of her maternal grandmother, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

It was known as the "Royal Disease" because so many descendants of the intermarried European royal families had it (or carried it, in the case of females).

In 2009, genetic analysis determined that Alexei had hemophilia B.

Haemophilia figured prominently in the history of European royalty in the 19th and 20th centuries. Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert, of the United Kingdom, through two of their five daughters – Princess Alice and Princess Beatrice – passed the mutation to various royal houses across the continent, including the royal families of Spain, Germany, and Russia. Victoria's youngest son, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, also had the disease, though none of her three elder sons did. Tests on the remains of the Romanov imperial family show that the specific form of haemophilia passed down by Queen Victoria was probably the relatively rare haemophilia B.[1] The presence of haemophilia B within the European royal families was well-known, with the condition once popularly known as "the royal disease".

Perusing your Royal Margarine playlist because of course I am (rm enjoyer) and I'm REALLY invested in the musical vibes..... Could you talk about what made you put some of these songs in the playlist? You don't have to explain the decision-making process for the inclusion of Every song on there, just the ones you'd like to discuss :)

Also saw Cannibal Queen by Miniature Tigers on there and 1) YAYYY I LOVE THAT SONG AND BAND 2) I enjoy it for RM 😊 if you were willing to listen to another Miniature Tigers song (especially for RM), I would recommend Bullfighter Jacket

YESYES YES GGGGRGEHRGRGRHRG MY PLAYLIST IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME, HALF OF MY DISEASE COMES FROM THERE, IM SICK, IM SICK, OOOUUUGHH THIS MAN, IVE DEDICATED HOURS OF MY LIFE TO HIM

ahem

Most of the songs I have on there can fall into a few categories, there's a lot of stuff so let's see if I can list them out, uhhh...

Songs that reflect his mental state and the way the acts, why he does things, what he's actually thinking underneath, things like that. (Some examples of those I'd say are like, My ugly, Puppet loosely strung, Noel's lament, The view from halfway down, One big beautiful sound, and many others that I can't list or else we'll be here all day.) Most of those songs end up being from musicals, because musical songs are really meant for showing character and that works great for my purposes. Also they're quite jazzy and swing-y for lack of a better term, which I think it fits him pretty well!

Pining and breakup songs, because holy shit look at him. You cannot tell me this man hasn't had like, so many people that he pines for or had a crush on at some point. *Slaps trunk of car* this bad boy can fit so many unrequited crushes in him. RM to me is the kind of guy that gets crushes very easily and very fast, and the worst thing is they're pretty genuine! He's just, terrible at commitment and honestly uses romance to not have to think about the parts of his life that he doesn't want, so he puts all his self worth into romance specifically. I'm going to squish him.

Songs that just generally fit his vibes to me tbh? I have at least a few instrumentals in there, and they give me him thoughts so I put them in. It's fun to imagine him being stupid and goofy and dancing tango (I still wanna animate that someday)

Sad ass songs because yeah. These fit in the first category, but they also deserve their own category because there's just, too many of them. HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS EMOTIONS, BUT HE HAS SO MANY OF THEM. God please let him actually be genuine and open up God please.

Thirst trap songs I stole from some edits online. Next.

Sometimes shitpost songs that I think are funny and yet they still fit him, like blonde boyz and red flags. It's funny idk what to tell you. I don't have too many of those on there but I am accepting more because they make my day.

Songs that make me think of animatics and scenes!! These also go for a lot of musical songs, but also JHARIAH WHEN I CATCH YOU JHARIAH. Usually these make me sad!

Usually, a song will definitely fit these categories, but it's also very VERY common that I will just, grab a song and streeeecth it meaning wise so it can fit in his playlist because I already liked that song before and I like my blorbo being associated with one of my favorite songs. There are so many of those in there.

And I think that's it? I might've missed some category, but that's fine. I can also definitely go into specific detail about each and every song on that playlist if asked but I will not do that on this post because that would be SO MANY WORDS. Indulge me someday perhaps however, if you dare.

(And btw, I listened to that song!! I like it a lot!! It is in his playlist now :) stoopid pining man <3)

CONTENT WARNING: BODY HORROR.

So, I decided to hop onto the MLP Infection AU bandwagon because I really like some of the fanart that's come out of it and I wanted to make my own little contribution. This was heavily inspired by the DA user AngstyRam's version as I felt like doing my own spin on the idea. This particular infection has been dubbed "Timberbeast Disease" after the beast-like form that comes from Stage 3 as well as the belief that the infection originally came from timberwolves. It's kind of a combination of timberwolves and the Swamp Fever from Season 7.

Stage 1: Bitten

The host is bitten and infected, with a bite wound being an indication of infection.

Symptoms includes fear, paranoia and pain from the affected area.

This stage can last anywhere from a few hours to 2-3 days.

If caught early enough, the host could potentially be saved if the affected area is amputated

Stage 2: Sprouting

Infection begins spreading through the rest of the body.

Mane begins falling out. The host may also start coughing up leaves.

Leaves and small twigs begin sprouting out of various parts of the body, mainly in the area where the host was originally bitten. Breaking them off will only make the infection progress faster.

Wings/horns typically remain intact at this stage. Can still fly/use magic as normal.

Eyes become bloodshot and take on a greenish glow similar to that of timberwolves.

Other symptoms include migranes, weight loss, fever, chills and memory loss.

Can no longer be saved.

Stage 3: Timberbeast

The most dangerous stage. Host now bears little resemblance to the pony they once were and is much more aggressive and vicious. 

Has completely lost all memory and their only instinct now is to hunt down prey. Will attack and eat other ponies.

Most of the host's skin has fallen off to reveal a wooden, tree-like body underneath. Twigs and branches continue to sprout from various parts of the body.

Root-like claws develop from what was once the host's hooves.

Can no longer fly/use magic.

Drool is actually tree sap and has been confirmed to pass the infection if contact is made.

KILL ON SIGHT. There is no hope of saving them.

Stage 4: Rooted

The host's claws have developed into roots that keep them anchored to the ground.

Hair and skin are completely gone.

More leaves and branches sprout from the body as they gradually transform into a tree.

Much less dangerous than Stage 3 as the host is now immobile, but can still potentially bite if one gets too close. Best to be avoided while they can still bite.

Stage 5: Tree

The final stage. Host has completely transformed into a tree and is no longer dangerous.

The host's cutie mark will typically appear as a pattern in the tree's bark.

Some of these trees have been known to bear fruit. Eating these fruits are not advised as the effects from consuming them are currently unknown.

Since these trees are being studied to potentially find a cure for Timberbeast Disease, cutting them down is strictly prohibited. Any creature caught attempting to cut them down will face criminal prosecution.

Also RIP Royal Pin

i want wilmon to be so disgustingly in love in season 3 that i get called single in 27 different languages

I already know I’m going to like S3 the best.

First of all, Wilmon is finally OUT (Prince Wilhelm S2 ending speech you will always be famous) so S3 >>>>>> everyone (including Rousseau) on principle alone;

And second, they really put Simon in a purple button up for his first time at the palace. Purple…representing his love for Wille. Which is now stronger than ever regardless of any upcoming conflict we might see. (Be still, my heart 💜)

Eat your heart out Starburst.
