"I took this step only out of deep faith and I feel that I must appear before God with a pure and believing heart. […] You say that the outward brilliance of the church fascinated me. In this you are wrong. Nothing external attracts me, and not worship - but the foundation of faith. External signs only remind me of the internal.”
-Saint Elizabeth the new martyr in a letter to her father asking for his blessing to convert to the Orthodox faith.

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova
❈ “We swung on the swing; boy, did I laugh when I fell off so splendidly!” ◦ “I took this picture of myself looking at the mirror. It was very hard as my hands were trembling.” ◦ “Goodbye. Don’t forget me.” • Anastasia (various sources)
❈ “My favorite goddaughter was she indeed! I liked her fearlessness. She was a fearful tomboy. And what a bundle of mischief!” • Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna
❈ “Anastasia Nicolaevna was the originator of all mischief, and was as witty and amusing as she was lazy at her lessons. She was quick and observant, with a keen sense of humour, and was the only one of the sisters who never knew the meaning of shyness. Even as a baby she had entertained grave old men, who were her neighbors at table, with her astonishing remarks.” • Baroness Sophie Buxhoeveden
❈ “Her French accent was excellent, and she acted scenes from comedy with remarkable talent. ... Ingenuousness and utter simplicity were the most characteristic qualities of Anastasia Nicolaievna. She was the imp of the whole house, and the glummest faces would always brighten in her presence, for it was impossible to resist her jokes and nonsense. [S]he was aflame with life and animation.” • Pierre Gilliard
❈ “The youngest Grand Duchess might have been composed of quicksilver, instead of flesh and blood; she was most amusing, and she was a very clever mimic. She saw the humorous side of everything, and she was very fond of acting.” • Lili Dehn

Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia
and now for something completely different...
the gap in quality between my basic referenced stuff vs pieces that are more imagination based really bothers me sometimes, but i suppose it's just a muscle that i have to exercise more if i want to get better at it. also stop being so lazy/impatient and put in the work. ugh...effort

The Death of a Dynasty
106 years ago on this day, Tsar Nicholas II and his family and 4 of his crew were shot and bayoneted to death by the Bolshevik revolutionaries under the leadership of Yakov Yurovsky on the orders of the Ural Regional Council in Yekaterinburg on the night of July 17 1918 And thus the Romanov dynasty ended after 300 years of rule...💔
In a dimly lit basement, the gunfire echoed through the cold, stone walls, ending not just lives but the death of a dynasty. The last remnants of royal rule were extinguished in a brutal, merciless act. The night was heavy with sorrow, as the Romanovs fell one by one, their legacy forever marred by their brutal end. The death of a dynasty was not just the end of an era but the end of a family, a lineage, and a history that had once been filled with grandeur and power. The silence that followed was deafening, a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the fleeting nature of power. The Romanovs' fall was a somber, melancholy moment in history, a tragic end to a once-great dynasty.🕊

For you historical romance nerds out there, might I recommend The Last Czars doc?

Imperial Pet Alert: Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna’s dog: EIRA
I finally stumbled upon a good picture of him (the few mentions of Eira I have read say that “he” was a male “Scotch Terrier” who adored his mistress, as she adored him) but liked to bite everybody else’s heels.
If you start looking carefully at some of Alexandra’s photos from this time period, you will be able to identify the unobtrusive ball of fur nearby. I have posted some of those here and there.
Here we see Eira in full possession of his mistress’ chair, apparently not bothered by the camera but obviously impatient to get the whole nonsensical exercise over.

i wake up, think abt the implications of what it means to be part of the romanov dynasty, debate ruining my mental health by rewatching nimona, fall to my knees in agony over riku and sora and how they are bound to each other in ways that cannot be described, cry over jacinter fanart, and then go to bed. every. single. day.
