seipark asked: Hello, I've been meaning to write to you for a long time, but never really knew how to express my admiration properly. You are truly a huge inspiration to me, and I don't mean only your art (it is pure perfection though). Everything about you is fabulous. I know you've heard this like a million times before, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't be told this even more. And I do have one actual question though: what is your favourite historical era of all?

Oh my, thank you so much!

“Favorite” is a bit of a loaded word, but of eras I find the most fascinating, I would say late 19th to early 20th century in European history. 1890s-1945 to be exact. I also have a lot of interest in certain areas during certain times - Russia during the 1810s-1820s and 1900-1918, Germany in the 1920s, for example.
