#he deals with them when fritz has reached his limit of child interaction for the day xdjdsjdsajsdajk

[ask19thcentury-doctorgilbert]

before i drop the angst for tonight here’s a soft thought to consider: gilbert’s had a chance to play ‘dad’ during this time because while fritz never had children of his own, he was a doting uncle to his nieces and nephews and often had them come visit at sanssouci and you can bet gilbert 100% joined in on the doting whenever the children were around because kids will always be the highlight of gil’s life add to that the grandneice that he basically adopted and put under the care of his wife because her dad, frederick william ii, is a whole ass mess

#not an ask #especially little baby prince henry #not to be confused with fritz's undeniably gay brother henry #that kid according to mitford's bio was frederick's personal favorite #and he reportedly cried hard over hearing that the boy passed from smallpox #anyway yes gilbert babied all these little princes and princesses #he deals with them when fritz has reached his limit of child interaction for the day xdjdsjdsajsdajk #one of these kids will be like 'my country helped raise me' #and people will be like 'wow so loyal to their home country' #and the kid is like: 'no you dont understand prussia literally helped take care of me'
