Yuletide tags are out: Frederician version

[cahn]

Come join us in this crazy Frederick the Great fandom and learn more about all these crazy associated people, like the star-crossed and heartbreaking romance between Maria Theresia's daughter Maria Christina and her daughter-in-law Isabella, wow.

OK, so, there are FOURTEEN characters nominated:
Anna Karolina Orzelska (Frederician RPF)
Elisabeth Christine von Preußen | Elisabeth Christine Queen of Prussia (Frederician RPF)
Francesco Algarotti (Frederician RPF)
François-Marie Arouet | Voltaire (Frederician RPF)
Friedrich II von Preußen | Frederick the Great (Frederician RPF)
Hans Hermann Von Katte (Frederician RPF)
Joseph II Holy Roman Emperor (Frederician RPF)
Maria Theresia | Maria Theresa of Austria (Frederician RPF)
Michael Gabriel Fredersdorf (Frederician RPF)
Peter Karl Christoph von Keith (Frederician RPF)
Sophia Dorothea of Hanover (Frederician RPF)
Stanisław August Poniatowski (Frederician RPF)
Wilhelmine von Preußen | Wilhelmine of Prussia (1709-1758) (Frederician RPF)
Yekatarina II Alekseyevna | Catherine the Great of Russia (Frederician RPF)

This means some fourth person kindly nominated Algarotti and -- I think? -- Stanislaw August Poniatowski! YAY! Thank you fourth person! Come be our friend! :D Yuletide is so great!

I am definitely requesting Maria Theresia, Wilhelmine, and Fritz (Put them in a room together. Shake. How big is the explosion?), and thinking about Elisabeth Christine, but maybe not this year.

I am also declaring this post another Frederician post, as the last one was getting out of hand. I think I'll still use that one as the overall index to these, though, to keep all the links in one place.

(seriously, every time I think the wild stories are done there is ANOTHER one)

ZOMG if you are wise in the art of the screen shot, could you do one of kid Fritz and Wilhelmine secretly reading together?

wise in the art of the screen shot

Hahaha, lol, yes, ma'am! Gladly. Would you like to give me the hour-minute-second marker you want? Otherwise I'll hunt for it based on the markers you gave in your (wonderful) synopsis.

And why yes, I am very wise in the art of the screen shot! That's how I put the Fritz/Katte/Sanssouci slideshow together. :D

I wasn't sure which moment you wanted screenshotted, so I did three. One, two, three. I figured no one would object to three shots of the siblings being cute and literary together, after all.

Okay, everyone, come one, come all, I'm taking requests! For this and any other Fritz-related videos you may want screenshots of. *grin*

Oh, speaking of, someone else screenshotted this Fritz/Katte bit from a documentary, with the English subtitles, and captioned it, "The moment when Frederick decides to wear that uniform for the rest of his life." And yes, cahn, Fritz is played by a WOMAN in this documentary (two, actually, mother and daughter, for Old Fritz and Younger Fritz). And yes, the documentary really did have Katte telling Fritz he looks good in uniform.

I'm not aware of any historical basis for this exchange, but if there is, someone needs to tell me, asap. :P (I mean, teenage Fritz hating his uniform, obvs. Katte telling him he looks good in it...I want this to be real.)

I feel like Fritz getting played by women (btw, the Thalbachs are pretty famous actresses over here) and Austrians is the best karma ever.

Also, thank you so much for the screenshots. The last one was what I was after, but the others are adorable, too.

Katte responsible for Fritz changing his mind from "Sterbekittel" to "what I'm wearing for the rest of my life" - sounds plausible enough to me!
