"Henry’s still looking up at the statue, but Alex can’t stop looking at him and the sly smile on his face, lost in his own thoughts. “And James’s son, Charles I, is the reason we have dear Samson. (...) One of the most beautiful pieces we own, and we didn’t even steal it. We only needed Villiers and his trolloping ways with the queer monarchs. To me, if there were a registry of national gay landmarks in Britain, Samson would be on it.” Henry’s beaming like a proud parent, like Samson is his, and Alex is hit with a wave of pride in kind." — Red, White & Royal Blue, Chapter 10

Tony Hawk was part of the British royal family. He and princess Diana were besties, he did skateboard tricks and made her laugh, but none of the other royals liked him, so when she died, he was excommunicated. He lost his country and his best friend and his home all at once.

"Christ had John, and I have George" - King James I of England
Here for the other gifs -> 🤫
Fun facts:
Mary & George is based on Benjamin Woolley's non-fiction book "The King's assassin"
George could dance, fence and speak a bit of French.
He used his graceful movements to advance through the ranks of the nobility.
King James's nickname for George was "Steenie" after St. Stephen, who was said to have the face of an angel.
King James I speaking to the Privy Council in 1617: You may be sure that I love the Earl of Buckingham (George) more than anyone else, and more than you who are here assembled. I wish to speak in my own behalf and not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same, and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had John, and I have George.
A letter from King James I to George: God bless you, my sweet child and wife, and grant that ye may ever be a comfort to your dear father and husband.

Taylor said 'practice' not 'rehearse.
Taylor knows Nicks schedule, since he said 'very soon' when speaking with Amelia
Tony liking more posts about Taylor.
Taylor wanting Amelia to ask Nick about if he is a good kisser
Taylor has a dog named 'COPPER'. FFS. - With all this, your next candies post is going to be insane!
