Historical proof that Manfred von Richthofen was thicc

So uh I feel like sharing this to the emptiness of the internet but a lot of people described MvR as “chubby” so ill just list those accounts here.

First of all, he himself said he is “as big as a barrel” after gaining some weight in the trenches.

Then apparently Wilhelm II called him chubby when they first met “Sie sehen so dick und munter aus” (You look so chubby and happy). Essentially he called him a heckin’ wholesome chonker. [Edit: Yes, in the text he is talking about a meeting with Ludendorff, however he compares his meeting with Ludendorff with his meeting with Wilhelm II.]

Third is that apparently a family friend saw this picture and said “Das ist aber ein Moppelchen” (Moppelchen ist kind of a cutesy word for a chubby person) And my source is “trust me bro” because someone I trust a lot told me lmao.

Oh... the...

Well...

This is CUTE... 🥹🥹

What about such a fanfic?

Baldwin IV comes back home in the evening after a long exhausting travel, he's exhausted, thirsty and very hungry. He complains about that all to the one, who always cares for him the most, that can be his closest friend. He complains about his lack of energy and his hunger, and it "unlocks the inner grandmother" in that friend, who's trying their best to let Baldwin have his deserved dinner and dessert. They give him so many delicious rarities, one after another, that he finally protests aganist more of them, but can to to bed not being hungry anymore, even being very well-fed. And being very thankful to his friend. Or rather "thank-full" because of them.

Yeah, i know it all might sound weird...

But i hope it's not a problem :)

(Sorry it took so long, recently I have no motivation to write 😩)

The news about the king's return from a long and tiresome travel spreads like wildfire among the nobles and the moment it reaches lady (Y/N)'s ears, without hesitation she rushes outside to greet her dear friend.

''(Y/N).'' - utters joyfully Baldwin and with the help of knights dismounts his horse.

Lady (Y/N) has known the king since childhood and can tell he needs to rest, so she approaches him with an offer: ''My king, you've come just in time. I prepared a lot of delicious food. I hope your majesty will try my specialties?''

''How could I refuse my beloved lady.'' With that said he presses the mask's lips to her knuckles and linking arms with the lady, they head together to the great hall, where the table is already set with the first hot meal being currently served. ''It smells delicious.'' - comments Baldwin just as his stomach starts rumbling.

''I believe you're very hungry right now.''

''Oh, yes, very. We had limited portions of food, not to mention our water supply. This travel exhausted me so much I barely can walk.''

''My dear!'' Concerned lady (Y/N) helps Baldwin to faster take a seat at the table and promptly comes back to the kitchen only to return a few seconds later with a pot full of fresh water. ''Here, take a sip.'' Baldwin doesn't refuse and quickly empties the golden goblet. Then he devours the soup and next meals, while lady (Y/N) keeps bringing more food and beverages of different kinds.

''My lady, this is all delicious and I'd love to taste them all, however my stomach has no more free space to contain those delicacies.''

''But you haven't eaten enough to regain your strength. Just one more cashew-''

''Lady (Y/N).'' Baldwin grabs her hand to caress it with his thumb and adds in a soft tone: ''I'm truly full now.''

''Oh, my dear Baldwin, you've been though a lot these days.'' - says worriedly lady (Y/N), cupping the king's face to look deeply into his blue eyes.

''I missed my home but not as much as you, my lady. I yearned for your soothing touch, your angelic voice and your incredible kindness. Thank you, lady (Y/N), thank you for everything.''

''I'm always here for you, Baldwin.'' And the two of them gently embrace each other, finding solace in their reunion.

Happy Year of the Dragon!

I love the idea of kintsugi so here's a porcelain dragon that highlights the broken seams with gold. Despite all the pains of hardships in life, we are beautiful.
