Dont Know What Exactly Stopped Me For Months From Adapting One Of My Favourite Memes To The Austrian

Don’t know what exactly stopped me for months from adapting one of my favourite memes to the Austrian way… but I did it. Finally! 🎉

Thus, I dedicate it proudly to Metternich and Schwarzenberg’s lovely correspondence (which I reread almost monthly because o- obsession), to their mutual, truly Habsburg displeasure with Burbon’s dynasty and, at last, to the perfect example of how comfortable two prominent politicians may be with each other in private. 🐍❤️🐍

Still trying to figure out what to do with this blog, so I've decided to compile some art (that i still like cause i don't like... a lot) people-wise so that the folks out here might get the general idea of who and what I draw???? Idk.

I guess part 1/? being (small, with some intruders)

Liverpool

Damn, I should draw him more...

That’s definitely for you, @marcvt! 🤗🇦🇹

I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it. 

It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.

Wellington, swinging the door open: Would you take a bullet for me?

Blücher: … Of course?

Metternich: *angrily bursts into the room*

Wellington, already running away: Cool, thanks buddy!

Spent such a good day in one of the most famous and huge Russian libraries digging for some golden nuggets in terms of books on the Napoleonic era and Austrian affairs.

Feeling unbelievably calm and relieved. Haven’t experienced that in a long time. ❤️

And here is a meme as usual! The temptation was too strong. X)

(Oops, simple spelling mistakes but I’m too lazy to go and fix them…)

"The disease was getting worse with every passing hour, and all the efforts of doctors allowed to avoid death only for a while. On October 15, after a quarter past nine in the evening, the earthly life of our Prince came to an end. He died in the arms of his elder brother, who hurried to join him; in the presence of his wife, his younger sister Eleanore, his niece Theresa, Princess von Lobkowitz, his two younger sons, his inner circle and servants - in all the fullness of condolences, love and loyalty that this earthly realm can grant us. His eldest son, Prince Frederick, summoned from a distant land of Hungary, where his service kept him, could not be present at this sad but sacred moment. The news of what had occurred caught him by surprise in the middle of his journey through Bohemia.

In what place should the Prince's body have rested? Reverence for the glory he had won and love for the Fatherland argued about it on the day of his death..."

Today is the 202nd anniversary of field-marshal Schwarzenberg’s death and I thought that the only right thing to do was to depict him with his admirable wife, Maria Anna, Marianna or - simply but with much-much-much love - Nani, whom prince Karl loved with all of his heart and soul.

(Perhaps, there is too much ancient pathos but it was done with much respect towards both of them. 🏛️🕊️)

Every time I start thinking about the fate of this wonderful family, it brings tears to my eyes. They were blessed with incredibly deep feelings but didn’t have enough time to enjoy them together peacefully…

But they still had some! And that’s the most important thing to know. 🌺
