Why Tsar Peter the Great trashed a famous Londoner’s house

Peter the Great – the house guest from hell

Peter the Great was one of the great tsars of Russian history – modernising his country while employing brutal authoritarian methods of rule. He famously embarked on a tour of Europe to learn how countries like Britain and the Netherlands ran their affairs.

He even tried to go undercover, very unconvincingly, as a dockworker to find out how ships were…

~This is the real, this is me. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be now. Gonna let the light shine on me. Now I found who I am, there’s no way to hold it in. No more hiding who I want to be. This is me~🌈

Came out last night to the rest of the world, seeing as though I don’t hide it on here and I am still in tears from all of the love I have gotten. I am so thankful for all of the amazing people I have in my life and I have never been happier.

#80: The Flirting (7x12)

Now, Rick and Michonne are good at so many things. Two things they’ve gotten especially good at are killing walkers and flirting with one another. And here we get to see both of these things combined. 🎉😋

So because nothing is ruining their fun, R&M make it out of the car fairly easily. And it’s super subtle but it looks like Rick leans down to help Michonne out of the car cuz that’s what real ones do.👌🏽 And then they hop out literally just kicking away at walkers like pests lol.

(Side note: Someone pointed out how it looks like Rick dabs when he jumps off the car and now I can’t unsee it 🙈😂)

Seeing the walkers gather around them, Michonne says, “We’ll do it here” and Rick says, “Yeah” and I will always love and take note of these little moments where they verbally validate each other like this. Like it’s so small but it’s so great at the same time cuz it just emphasizes how like-minded they are and how often they’re in agreement.

As they’re slaying walkers, they realize the gates not going to hold so they have to lead them somewhere else. And as they run, they again operate in unison without even having to verbally communicate. Like they just tag team and knock down that high striker and keep it moving cuz they’re just a unit like that.

And then they face this herd of walkers looking like a King and Queen staring at some peasants’ lol. 😋 They talk out a strategy and it literally feels like they think like one. They're so easily on the same page. And Rick suggests that Michonne take the slide and he take the ferris wheel. And then he playfully offers, "Or we could just go".

First; Rick is an adorably extra man.😂 Like as he says this they are facing a herd of walkers, those things are lethal...but then again so is he and his wife. 😋

So he's unbothered and still finds time, even in this situation, to be flirty and joke with her. All the way here for it. 👏🏽

It's so casual like "We could stay or we could go, whatever is fine." Plus, low key he's probably thinking if they just go that might mean they have to stay out a little longer and you know how Rick feels about that lol.😉

And then Michonne has this playful surprise when she asks, "You want to go?" And I love this. Like I love when they're just talking and joking with each other as people.

I know people can probably stereotype shippers as people who want all this over the top romance all the time but honestly I think we get our entire life from casual moments like this just as much. 

Like low key even these quick casual exchanges between them can produce this response from me...

Cuz there’s so much gold in the moments when they're just being together like best friends since the best, healthiest, and most authentic romantic relationships are built on friendships anyway. 💯

Also it’s hilarious cuz Michonne phrases it as “you want to go” since she always hears the true subtext in things. And I just love that she asks in a way that’s like she knows Homeboy must be playing around, and also clearly feeling like they done did too much to just leave now. 😂

And then Rick tells her, "Nah. We can do this." 😋 Now on paper it might sound like he said that as some positive speech of "We got this!" But I love that it's actually said so nonchalant like "Eh we're here and this ain't no thang to us so we can just do this."

I really appreciate that Rick definitely relishes the fact that the two of them are such an unstoppable unit and that they are both so capable. I had always got that vibe from him and I feel like this scene confirmed it. I feel like Rick enjoys seeing them take action together cuz it just further solidifies that this is different and this is special. 

And then Michonne adorably says in a playful “duh” tone, "Yeah I know we can." 😋Of course she knows they can. This is “We can find a way” Michonne lol.

She def relishes that they’re an unstoppable unit as well. And you already know I love when they always refer to each other as “we” so I just love them acknowledging they’re a team and that they know they can tag team this situation.

I adore the way they're talking to each other in this and that they are skilled in this quick-witted flirtiness that they have going on. They're just having so much fun together and it's like they’re teenagers and an old married couple all at the same time. Again, that young and grown love they have is a thing of beauty. 🙌🏾

I love that R&M both know the power of Richonne and that they really can do anything together. Like, yes, with each other they are able to just be human beings but also, let's be real, Rick is also aware that he is with the Michonne and Michonne is aware she is with Rick to the Grimes. 👑😊

So it makes sense when they take time out to acknowledge and admire how each one contributes to making this an iconic power couple. Like joking about staying or leaving while you face a herd of walkers is how warriors flirt and I'm here for it. 😋👌🏽

This was such a beyond cute moment and I love that this is their natural dynamic. It’s such a quick moment and yet it’s still so great and life-giving and further proof that their banter is top tier. 👏🏽😊
