Ask me: FANDOM EDITION

A - Your current OTP

C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go

Oopps I got carried away, if you don't want to do all of them just choose two or three at random 😊

Hiiii! :)

No worries :)

A: Darklina

C: To stay on brand: Malina.

N: Err, I don't really have one. It's like asking for your favorite book.

O: Okay, let my shuffled playlist decide... Bwhahaha, okay, the first song that came on is "Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop" from The Producers XD Yeah, that doesn't remind me of any OTP XD Skipping, skipping, skipping... Okay, it's not gonna work XD So I'm gonna say "Hogyha kell egy tánc" ("If I want to dance"). It's a song from the musical Elisabeth, about the life of Sisi, the empress of Austria. The musical itself is rather... gothic. It's narrated by Sisi's murderer, and there is a love triangle amongst Sisi, her husband Franz Josef, and... Death. Death is in love with Sisi and follows her through life. This song is a duet between the two of them, where Sisi reasserts her newfound independence and power ("If I want to dance/I'll choose my partner"), while Death encourages her and kinda reminds her that it's due to him. And yeah, once again, staying on brand: Darklina XD

X: Rogue/Gambit, Skye/Grant Ward, Zuko/Katara

Z: Um, fan related? So I translated The Prison Healer not so long ago, which is a YA fantasy, and I had my reservations at first, but it turned out to be pretty good. Really good. Good enough that I wanted to see what happens next right away. See, it's a trilogy, and I could get my hands on the second book, no problem, but the third book came out in Australia two weeks ago (the athor is Australian), and yesterday in the US/UK, but I haven't been able to get it yet, and it's driving me mad, because I'm at like 90% into book 2, and I don't want to finish it until I have the third book. But, at the same time, before The Prison Healer, I translated Anthiny Ryan's The Pariah, which is medieval fantasy, and that was sooo good as well. And the second book in that series is coming out on the 30th, but I did manage to snatch an ARC from Netgalley, and I'm about halfway through, but... I'm not feeling it as much as the first book? In the first book the landscape, the situation, the power balance everything kept changing (the protagonist went from outlaw to prisoner to scribe to soldier), but this second book just has a lot of sieges. And the author is I think is a historian, and he really knows his stuff when it comes to medieval warfare and whatnot, but I'm itching for the characters to have an actual conversation instead of fighting all the time.

(All italicised text in this post is made up for the sake of this story)

Alexandra married Friedrich Franz IV, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1904. They had five children. Alexandra is the great-grandmother of the current monarch, Karolina Augusta I.

The tiara is made of upright rows of diamonds. While the tiara is generally reserved for the monarch and the monarch’s spouse, it is the traditional bridal tiara of the descendants of Thyra, Queen of Mecklenburg.

Duchess Amalie in Bavaria is the great-great-grandmother of the current monarch, Karolina Augusta I.

The tiara is made of diamonds and is designed to be worn as a bandeau across the forehead. Its design does not allow it to be easily converted into a typical tiara and requires specific hairstyles to sit properly atop the wearer’s head.

Shown worn above again by Anastasia Mikhailovna, Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (nee Grand Duchess of Russia). This time partially closed without the kokoshnik backing.

This tiara is also generally reserved for the monarch or the monarch’s spouse. Since 2006, the tiara has been solely worn by Karolina Augusta I. It is her favourite of the historical tiaras, being lighter and easier to wear for long periods of time.

THE THYRA CORAL TIARA

The Thyra Coral Tiara was created by Cartier and purchased by Crown Princess Thyra due to her love of, and large collection of, jewellery created with coral. The bright colour of the coral and the whimsy of the star diamonds made for a perfect tiara for the slightly eccentric Crown Princess.

The Thyra Coral Tiara is generally reserved for use by the monarch or monarch’s spouse. Presently, it is worn by the current monarch and her mother, though being a colourful piece means it is worn less than the other tiaras in the monarch’s collection.

THE THYRA DAVID WEBB NECKLACE TIARA

The Thyra David Webb Necklace Tiara was designed by American jewellery designer, David Webb, and purchased by Queen Thyra in 1973. David Webb was one of Thyra’s favourite designers and would purchase many of his pieces up until his death in 1975. The flowering vine with acorns is made of diamonds and gold, and can be converted into a bib-style necklace.

The Thyra David Webb Necklace Tiara is generally reserved for the monarch or the monarch’s spouse. Presently, the tiara is only worn by Eleonora, the mother of the current monarch. Karolina Augusta I has chosen not to wear the tiara as of yet.

THE THYRA IVY CIRCLET TIARA

The Thyra Ivy Circlet Tiara was made by the British jewellery house, Garrard & Co around 1900 using ivy leaves from the 1860s. Then Crown Prince Paul Friedrich bought the tiara for his wife, Thyra, in 1946 as a belated wedding gift. The tiara was chosen especially because of the couple’s time spent in Britain during the Second World War. Under the Language of Flowers, ivy has a number of meanings, including friendship in adversity, constancy and lifelong love.

The Thyra Ivy Circlet Tiara is generally reserved for the monarch or the monarch’s spouse. Presently, the tiara is only worn by Eleonora, the mother of the current monarch. Karolina Augusta I has chosen not to wear the tiara as of yet.

Note: most of the other jewellery in the photos, the necklaces, earrings and brooches are also currently owned by the family and worn by various members of the family.

Tiara Possibly Owned by Empress Elisabeth Up for Auction

Marylou Whitney’s Ruby & Diamond Floral Tiara is being auctioned at Sotheby’s on December 9th in New York for an estimated 100,000-200,000 USD. The tiara was made in the mid-1800s and consists of rubies and diamonds set in silver and gold. The flowers are en tremblant meaning they are set on springs so they move with the wearer.

Whitney was an American socialite, racehorse owner, and avid jewelry collector who passed away in 2019. She claimed that the tiara belonged to Empress Elisabeth “Sisi” of Austria. From The New York Times,

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney is “terribly happy” with hers, once owned by the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, wife of Emperor Franz Josef. “It wasn't one of the Empress's major tiaras,” Mrs. Whitney said candidly. “It was just an everyday tiara but when you wear it, inside you feel absolutely great. A tiara moves up a lady greatly.” The everyday tiara has 1,900 diamonds (weighing 180 carats) and 75 rubies and is shaped into wild roses and sparkling dew drops. It is set on little springs “to wiggle a little with a lovely movement when I walk.” Mrs. Whitney pins her tiara on with four bobby pins and then forgets she has it on. “I enjoy wearing it because it's light and so well distributed. A heavy tiara can ruin a woman's evening,” she said. (x)

Prior to the tiara being bought by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney in 1952 it was owned by Harry Winston and was part of his ‘Court of Jewels’ touring exhibition that raised money for local charities from 1949-1953. There it was labeled the Austrian Diadem saying that it was from the time of Emperor Franz Joseph but did not say that it belonged to Empress Elisabeth.

Ursula from Royal Magazin, who is my go to expert on Austrian jewels, doesn’t think that the tiara belonged to Empress Elisabeth but she did find a design sketch by Köchert that is similar to the tiara meaning it’s very possible that the tiara belonged to someone at the Austrian Imperial Court even if it didn’t belong to the Empress herself. (x)

Sotheby’s language is very careful not to say that the tiara belonged to Sisi instead stating that Whitney claimed it did. To me this means that they don’t have any proof that it belonged to the Empress but want to mention it because it will drive up the price.
