500 followers!!!!!

I started this blog six months ago literally as an outlet for my historical interests and aesthetics and because my 'main' blog I was using was festering and decaying because I had stopped writing poetry. All I was expecting to do was share and reblog various pictures relating to my historical interests, and perhaps garner a handful of followers along the way. My intentions were purely humble.

Upon my life, never did I expect to meet such kind, sweet, thoughtful, engaging, enthusiastic and incredibly intelligent individuals, whom I learn so much from and delight in passing on knowledge to in return. A community united by history (and for some of us, prinny!) and the past and a burning desire to learn. 500 followers is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but seeing as this was just meant to be a side blog of sorts, I feel I've done well and come far.

As always, big love to my Set™, my fave mutuals, @decadent-empress @lordansketil @staches-and-sabres and @a-royal-obsession (follow these ladies immediately if you aren't currently doing so!) for being all of the aforementioned and more, for nerding out over prinny and Georgiana and G3's family and so forth, for making me laugh too. I have come to adore you all over these past six months.

Big love also goes out to @hismajesty-kinggeorgeiii, @beau--brummell, @therepublicofletters, @spoutziki-art, @andrewstuntpilot, @scopesandskullties and my newest sweet mutual @girlwhoiscrying! I hope I can interact with all of you more as well as my blog continues to grow and evolve! Future plans include more Original Content™ alongside the reblogging, where I rant and get excited over some likely incredibly niche area of history, maybe liveblogging when I visit certain historical sites/buildings, and a better blog layout because I'm aware mine sucks (; thank you again one and all, for being decent and genuine people, and for being so kind and welcoming towards me.
