  1. I want to live at our time, but where humanity is legally required to be better-dressed (sort of like the Harry Potter meets steampunk). I don’t want it to make people feel uncomfortable or pay a fine, but if there were like a Consensus that in “this cafe” you’d come in dressed a certain way to make everyone feel like we’re in a certain fantasy - people would just play along… no “green passes” or fines needed… Where women’s drinks are chocolate milks, men’s are robust, complex coffees, and where women and men can only enter coffee shops only if fancy dressed, meet a fascinating guy, share their favorite flavors with each other and then proceed to have amazing cakes and fine meats later. I mean actual meats, not sexual references. I’m actually more old-fashioned on that subject and I love times of abstinence much more than times where we had “tinder”… In fact… now I wanna start a tea club like that… Sad fact: coffee shops were the places where Lenin and Hitler developed their evil ideologies… but then again.. that was before milk was introduced to coffee and I can totally imagine how a mellow kinda guy would be paid with caffeine to give a speech and end up screaming about the proletariat or killing Jews after the 10th espresso. Is that all the 20th century actually was…?

  2. Queen Victoria was a complete pleb in terms of the fact that all she wanted to do was sleep with her husband, the king.. she even claimed that she hated being pregnant all the time but that was the price of being so horny. I mean.. other than imagining a lot of ugly people sex and many neglected kids who in this case, at least, had servants as caretakers (which explains a lot about the royals today…)… basically, what im saying here is… im not sure how much the Queen’s teatime mattered to her other than not being hungry or have morning sickness… but im sure Queen Victoria was one of the coolest members of royalty simply because she never stopped enjoying the simplest things in life.. Also, I LOVE simple sponge cakes, especially vanilla and chocolate and vanilla, but I’m not a fan of English desserts.
