Prince Jacob Appreciation Post (and me being a SIMP)
Source: Marriage of Convenience
When I saw this motherfucker right here..I felt an emotion that sent the blood rushing to my face, that made my cold dead heart thaw and see the light....that's right...the magic word of the day.....infatuation!
I remember immensely enjoying the character design and personality of this murderous blondie. He made me want to do things so foul, my mother would have to bring out the Holy Water. On second thought, the Holy Water would just evaporate upon coming to contact with me.
Hear me out! I know he's the villain, I know he wants to force Bianca's hand. But I don't hate him for it. Usually when a character is forcing themselves on the main girl or guy, I would immediately hate them and wish the worst. But with him, I was actually sort of rooting for him.
Don't misunderstand of course, Bianca x Zachary is my OTP for real.
But Jacob has that special sort of sense that makes me go feral. I can't be the only one right?
Like, look at this bitch. He's like not a good person, not even close. But do I care? Not really, to be honest. I could fix him...
And in the beginning I sort of just saw him as an obstacle for our main duo. A folly that I'd just forget about. But after learning about his tragic past, I couldn't help but feel drawn to him.
Like' you see Jacob was born out a one-night-stand by the Emperor. I can't say I hate the Emperor too much, cuz he genuinely loves his children. Jacob was told by his mother that he has to live with his 'family' cuz they will love him. But Jacob is smart. Even if his half-siblings or father didn't treat him cruelly, he knows that he isn't wanted there. He' a reminder of a mistake on the Emperor's part. A stain.
Although I can't relate to abandonment issues cuz I have good parents, I know how it feels to be unwanted. I was a teenager too. And it hurts. To know that people are just tolerating your presence, and they don't truly want to have you around. It's like you're a guest at the party you were invited to by a distant cousin.
So Jacob knew he was exactly going to be pampered there. And he knew what he was.
And that's what makes his own infatuation with Bianca more interesting. He relates to the feeling of abandonment he felt with his family, just as Bianca felt abandoned by her father when he sent her off to marry. I think he was trying to find a person to relate to in Bianca. He wanted someone who could understand and share his pain.
That doesn't excuse what he did, but we all live a Badboi every now and then, right?
Just look at this, just look at that beautiful face. The wind in his hair. The twinkle in his eyes. The faint blush on his cheeks🤚😩👌. He looks as if he's gonna kill an enemy king and present his crown to you in an act of romanticism. I can't tell you in full, the extent of my simping.
If I didn't know who he is, I would have assumed him to be the ML of a romantic manhwa.
And this panel! He looks so pure in this. Like, he looks genuinely in love. In any other context, I would assume that he's a nice ol' dude trying to sneak in to see his beloved. You can't tell me that that hunk is the villain. That he is the big baddie.
We love a man that would get us roses and stalk our childhood home.
Oh Lord! I love his fashion sense. I normally don't like the leopard print fur, but it hits different with him.This bitch literally never looks bad. Plus he's rich. And is willing to kill his nephew to become Emperor and possibly make you Empress. And is a certified hottie. We love a good rebel....
Seriously, I can't be the only one, right?
Why are my standards for men so dangerously low?
Like again, he never looks bad. This motherfucker looks like he belongs in an add for Gucci fr! Please rail me....
He looks so peaceful in this panel. Like I would love to know what's on his mind (probably murder). I simp for this man so hard. Why can't you be real, goddamnit? Why can't I be the object of your infatuation? What does Bianca have that I don't? Abandonment issues?
I need a magic truck-kun to isekai me.
Again, I'd like to try to fix him, but he doesn't need that much fixing, in my opinion.
Once again, I hope whoever stuck till the end has enjoyed this post. Do me a favour and turn the white heart red🥰
For more context:
Perhaps one of the spiciest chapters from history (which sadly isn't taught in school) is the relationship between Victoria and her husband Albert. Here are a few informations about it:
Victoria held a secret diary in which she wrote about Albert and her *ahem* fantasies with him. Here is one passage from it:
"My dear Albert came in today from the rain; he looked so handsome in his white cashmere britches, with nothing on underneath."
I think we all know what happened moments later.
She once sent to him this spicy painting of her (see the picture).
Back then disheveled hair and visible shoulders were considered alluring and sensual.
She also bought him a quite erotic painting from artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter's which depicts a group of bare-breasted women preparing to bathe.
The couple is said to have installed a special button in their bedroom at their huge holiday house on the Isle of Wight. The idea was they could lock the doors from bed so they would never be disturbed in flagrante delicto by a footman bearing a tea tray.
Victoria hated being pregnant and having kids, but LOVED sex. That's why she ended up having nine children. Unsurprisingly, Albert was the one who took care of them.
There are persistent rumours that Albert was so well endowed that he had to wear a special ring around his "little Prince" so it could be pulled to the side and thus not bulge in an unseemly manner in his trousers. This may be where the "Prince Albert" comes from.
After giving birth to her last child, Victoria's doctor told her: "You know, ma'am, you shouldn't have any more children.", to which she replied with: "What, Doctor, no more fun in bed?"
Unfortunately, Albert died in 1861, 32 years before she passed away. RIP Sex Button.
The more I think about Perseus and Andromeda having nine children together, the more I'm starting to imagine their sex life resembling Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's and this is not okay.

His Majesty George V The King & Her Majesty Queen Mary

The Royal Wedding took place at 12:30PM on Thursday, July 6th, 1893 in The Chapel Royal (Left Picture) at St. James Palace (Right Picture) in London, England
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝐸𝓃𝑔𝒶𝑔𝑒𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝒮𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎
♕ Previous Engagement: Her Majesty Queen Mary (Top Picture) was engaged before meeting His Majesty George V. Mary had become engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Albert The Duke of Clarence and Avondale (Bottom Picture), the older brother of George. Sadly the wedding never happened, as The Duke had fell ill with the Flu which then took a bad turn, turning the flu into Pneumonia. The Duke passed away on Friday, January 8th, 1892 at The Sandringham House in Norfolk, England.
♕ Staying In The Family - Part 1: Her Majesty Queen Victoria (George’s Grandmother: Left Picture) wanted the then His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales, to marry either Her Majesty Queen Marie of Romania (His Cousin: Middle Picture) or Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna (His Cousin: Right Picture). George sadly was not fond of either of the two women & Her Majesty Queen Marie of Romania (Middle Picture) did react to George’s proposal to her by rejecting him.
♕ “I’m Too Young”: Even after his grandmother tried to wed George & his two cousins, the young prince refused to be married. “I still think marrying too young is a bad thing. The one thing I never could do is to marry a person that didn’t care for me. I should be miserable for the rest of my life.” George wrote this to his grandmother stating that he was too young to be married & even if he did marry young, he would marry someone he loved.
♕ Staying In The Family - Part 2: George’s grandmother & Mary had met during her engagement to the now parted Duke, & Queen Victoria was fond of Mary. She had spoken to Mary to see what she would think about marrying her fiancé’s brother. This was very embarrassing for both George & Mary, as Mary’s fiancé's & George’s brother, had only been dead for 1 year & the two were still in mourning. The couple began to feel the pressures of the royal life. Mary began to feel pressure from not only her family but George’s family to be a married woman. George felt the pressure of his new position as second-in-line to the throne, he was still recovering from the proposal rejection of his cousin Her Majesty Queen Marie of Romania, & he also had no idea if Mary even had romantic feelings towards him.
♕ The Proposal: After a long conversation with George’s favorite aunt Olga Constantinovna of Russia (Also known as Queen Olga of Greece: Left Picture), the young duke was urged to propose to his brother’s fiancé Mary. George had help with his proposal from his sister Her Royal Highness Louise The Princess Royal (Middle Picture) & his brother-in-law Alexander Duff 1st Duke of Fife (Louise’s husband: Right Picture). On Wednesday, May 3rd, 1893, Louise had “arranged” to have tea with Mary. When Mary arrived to have tea with Louise, she had found George & Louise waiting for her instead of just Louise. The Princess Royal had suggested that the couple go to the garden to go watch the frogs that lived in the garden pond. The duke then proposed to Mary by the pond & she happily accepted George’s proposal. The couple came to learn how to love & care for each other deeply, despite the stress & heartbreak of the last year.

♕ Morning: That Thursday morning, when George was walking the corridors of Buckingham Palace, he accidentally spotted his bride. As tradition, Bride & Groom are never supposed to see each other (unless a private moment is planned by the couple to meet with each other before the wedding) because it is bad luck. As George spotted Mary, he proceeded to make a low & courtly bow towards the princess, a sweet moment many say that Mary never forgot.
♕ Wedding Party: The Royal Wedding was attended by 5 Bridesmaids, 5 Junior Bridesmaids, & 2 Supporters of The Groom.
♕ Wedding Officiant: The Archbishop of Canterbury Edward White Benson (Left Picture) performed the ceremony. He was assisted by The Bishop of London Frederick Temple (Middle Picture), The Bishop of Rochester Randall Thomas Davidson 1st Baron Davidson of Lambeth (Right Picture), & 5 other priests.
♕ Register Signing Tradition: As Tradition during all Royal Weddings, the Register must be signed. The Register of the Wedding of His Majesty George V The King & Her Majesty Queen Mary was signed by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, The Prime Minster William Ewart Gladstone (Pictured Below), & all other royal personages that were present at the wedding.
♕ Balcony Tradition: As Tradition of all Royal Weddings, the Bride & Groom along with family, made an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Even Queen Victoria made a rare public appearance when she joined the couple on the Balcony.
♕ Official Portraits (Photo is in Order): The Official Painters of the Royal Wedding were Heinrich Anton von Angeli, Laurits Tuxen, & Sir Samuel Luke Fildes
♕ Title Change: As Royal Tradition, the Groom (Sometimes) & Bride’s (Always) Title will change. Mary’s Title changed from Her Serene Highness Princess Victoria Mary of Teck to Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York. George’s Title changed from His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales to His Royal Highness The Duke of York.

♕ Spectators: Since The Wedding of His Majesty George V The King & Her Majesty Queen Mary, was the first public royal wedding in 32 years, the large crowd of spectators spread down the route of travel from Buckingham Palace to St. James Palace. As she arrived at the chapel, Mary gave the crowd a side-ways smile & a wave that made her seem a little nervous about her upcoming vows that were about to take place.

♕ The Designer: In 1891, Mary’s mother Mary The Duchess of Teck announced that not only Mary’s dress but also the bridesmaids dresses would be made in Britain. Arthur Silver of Silver Studios was chosen to design the then Princess’s future wedding gown for when Mary was supposed to marry Prince Albert (But sadly the wedding never happened). Before the dress began, Mary & her mother visited the Warner & Sons’ factory which is located at the Hollybush Gardens in Spitalfields, London. The mother daughter duo asked the factory to make fine white silks with silver thread by Albert Parchment for the dress. Mary’s Second Wedding Dress was crafted by Linton & Curtis of Albemarle Street (A street in Mayfair Central London off Piccadilly).
♕ The First Dress: After Mary’s fiancé had passed away, her “Lily of the Valley” (A highly poisonous woodland flowering plant with sweetly scented, pendent, bell-shaped white flowers borne in sprays in spring) wedding was made public but was abandoned by the family & the designer.
♕ The Second Dress: For Mary’s wedding to George, the design that she chose for her dress was “The May Silks” & would be influenced by Japanese Art. The design of the embroidery of the dress would include emblems of Roses, Shamrocks, Thistle, Orange Blossom, & True Lovers Knots. The front of Mary’s Wedding Gown was made of white satin which had 3 small flounces of old Honiton Lace (A Type of Lace Textile made by braiding & twisting lengths of thread, which are wound on wood or bone bobbins & is made in Honiton, Devon) from the wedding dress of her mother which were located on the top & upper parts of the sleeves. The bodice long, pointed, cut at the throat, made of Arthur Silver’s white & silver brocade, & satin fell from the Princess’s shoulders. The train of the gown was long but plain & Mary wore her mother’s veil, which was also made of Honiton lace & fastened using her wedding gift from Her Majesty Queen Mary, diamond pins. The veil was never used again in another royal wedding. Following the flower theme of the dress, small wreaths were placed around the bust & in Mary’s hair. (A Dark Photo than the one above so you can see the design better)
♕ Royal Jewelry: For her wedding, Mary wore a diamond tiara as a loan from Queen Victoria. Along with the Tiara, the bride wore a Diamond Rivière Necklace from the Prince & Princess of Wales, Diamond Earrings from Prince George, & a Anchor Brooch from Prince George.

𝐹𝓊𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉𝓈:
♕ The Wedding of His Majesty George V The King & Her Majesty Queen Mary, was the first Royal Wedding to take place in St. James Chapel since the death of Prince Consort Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Albert was Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s husband but many of the couple’s children married in the St. James Chapel. The cause of death was Typhoid Fever.
♕ The Couple spent their honeymoon at Sandringham, which is George’s estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, England (Top Picture). They stayed at Sandringham until they left for the Osborne House in East Cowes, Isle of Wright, United Kingdom (Bottom Picture).
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
