Headcanon Time!

Here’s a list of applicable headcanons for this blog! It’s pretty long so I’m putting the individual character heacanons under the read more. These are mainly for the Tainted versions.

General

Eden is the oldest, being just as old as the universe, and Isaac+dead counterparts are the youngest at 18.

Out of the humans, Eve is the oldest at 27.

Samson is the tallest while Lilith is the shortest. Maggy comes close second to Sam. (I have no set heights yet)

Blind Bitch Club (aka needs/has glasses): Eve, Jacob, Keeper, Laz, maybe Sam.

All the Isaacs don't really get along as much as they should

The Tainted characters are older versions of the originals. In the instance of this blog there has been a thirteen-year time skip between when they first left the Basement and when they returned

The Basement is a limbo created by God to give “trials” to abused kids and Fallen beings he feels like tormenting again

Scars accumulate from runs and can be healed quicker by getting HP ups or using the Yum Heart

Personal items (Torn Photo, Polaroid/Negative, Mr. Dolly, possibly some others) differ in appearance based on who’s “player 1”

The Mom-based bosses (minus Mother) and Angel Isaac+??? also change according to “P1”

Mother is Jacob and Esau’s mother. This is why defeating her unlocks them, and why the alt-path is so different and new and coincided with their arrival to the Basement

Age Ideas (Parentheses are Tainted)

Isaac+dead counterparts: 5 (18)

Maggy: 7 (20)

Cain: 10 (23)

Judas: 10 (23)

Eve: 14 (27)

Samson: 11 (24)

Laz: 10 (23)

Beth: 9 (22)

J+E: 9 (22)

Apollyon, Azazel, and Lilith are thousands of years old and are listed in order of time of creation. Eden's age is the estimated age of the universe.

Applicable Headcanons for Each Character

Isaac

Now lives with his dad

That. Explains the bruises.

Named all the unique monsters in the Basement, as well as identified some Items

One thing he and his dead counterparts have in common is a love for drawing

The chaos of having seventeen people crammed into one floor stresses him out more than the others

Appreciates his friendship with all of them, though

Gender is Isaac. Doesn’t really care what pronouns people use so everyone uses he/him for short

Magdalene

She used to be a pageant child and still suffers body issues from it.

The Caffeine Pill item REEAAALLLY upsets her cause of that

V… valley girl accent……….

Assigned healer

BEST HUGS!!!!

Maybe too good. If she's hugging you don't let her get distracted cause she'll forget her own strength

Cain

Has a prosthetic left foot from an accident (havent thought of exactly what yet)

His left eye was gouged out by his dad tho

He's the most generally well-off of everyone. Guess he was just born lucky…

Absolutely was a Little Shit™ as a child and still is

Avid min-maxer in video games

Kleptomaniac

Ok the way I'm describing sounds like he's got a bit of OCD

Often fulfills role as leader when need be

I don't have any ideas for Abel yet but I'll think of something. Maybe he was absorbed in the womb?

You know what??? I like that. Cain's a chimaera. He has (uh. Had???) heterochromia. That's why his eye items are different colors.

Is bald on purpose

Judas

Br*tish. Mancunian, even.

Hanged himself in the closet

His pact was with Belial (obv)

Chose to learn the dark arts when he was nine

Eventually got the stick out of his ass and developed a sense of humor

Still Anti-Christian to the point where it's a bit worrying but the others are starting to understand him

Yes he had a friend named Jesús. It was an unintentional betrayal, though.

???

He can't really talk. All that comes out when he vocalizes are grunts and groans.

Responds to a lot of questions by just. smiling and shrugging 🤷‍♂️

Just. Chilling.

Chaotic and does what he Wants for comedic purposes

Eve

Has a Dead Bird tattoo on her chest.

Needs to take blood-thinning pills.

Forgotten calls her "V" as a reference to his own nickname.

Has a younger brother named Adam

Ma'am please stop smoking it's SO bad for you

Half Japanese cause I said so

She's still marked by the Whore of Babylon on her left thigh, which she got through the Satanic Church

It's undecided which demon she made her pact with. I was thinking about making it a twist where it's Lilith…

The local crows love her

Samson

Back story here

His middle name is Loowit after Mount St. Helens

The only person he fully trusts and can make him smile is Maggy 🥺

Beat his dad to death lmao

He was happier as a kid when his mom was still around…

Now he just has anger issues and gets easily annoyed

Delilah.

Azazel

The OG. It's unknown what his Choir was before his Fall, besides being in the class of Watchers

Has a face mask for every occasion. Ofc there are meme ones

His sense of humor is. SO BAD.

This is where his wings and horn went

Making fun of people is his way of showing affection

Still misses Semjaza even though he was kinda back stabbed

Lazarus

He is a TOTAL hippy. Vegetarian and all.

Flipped Laz doesn't give a fuck about any personal beliefs though and will do anything to survive. Sometimes regular Laz will flip back with a stomach ache cause he unknowingly ate meat.

Laz subconsciously flips when he feels like he's about to die (kinda like the emergency button trinket). Obv it's automatic when he "clears" rooms.

Normal Laz is very sweet and shy

Dead/Flipped Laz is angry, driven to that point by dying so many times. His rage could almost match Samson's

Flipped Laz is incredibly paranoid and is always in fight-or-flight mode

Eden

A fallen deity

Knows more about the world than the others

They are the personification of the chaotic nature of the universe. They are both tranquility and chaos. They are blessed and damned. They are all and nothing.

Judas introduced them to memes. Oh God why did you do that. They're almost as bad as Azazel. They won't stop saying amogus. Help.

Fourth wall breaker

God wanted to make them one of His angels so they'd always be under His control. But Eden is too stubborn.

Eloquent speaker

Shapeshifter cause their true form would melt everyone. Mainly changes their voice to quote ytps.

Lately they’ve been losing some control of their powers, which is why they appear glitchy

Lost

Edgy

Needy

Keep killing him it's funny

Check out his spiders

Backstory thing here

While he knows he can easily die he still fucks with the others cause he thinks its funny

Lilith

The OG

No hard feelings for Adam, but definitely some for God

And Samael. Dear LORD don’t bring him up

Married to Asmodeus

Gello's full name is Gelatínus Azariah Shamdon (yeah lol, Raphael's cover name, and Asmodeus' father)

Assigned mom friend and treats everyone like they’re her children

With help from Azazel, she got Judas and Beth together

In general plays matchmaker with Zaze. They've got a great record it's just 99% of their successful matches are random nobody enemies no one cares about

Incubus doesn’t seem to talk to her anymore...

Keeper

Often forgets the other kids' names cause he never cared to learn them unless they paid up (he always called Bethany Brittany for example)

This is why he gave them all titles and refers to them by that (The Zealot, The Broken, etc)

INSANELY good at math. Gotta be good at counting them coins

Best way I can describe his existence is that he's a corpse inhabited by a fragment of Greed? When he was "unlocked" he was no longer controlled by Ultra Greed/part of the hive mind

Another eloquent speaker, he's more flamboyant about it though

Apollyon

Another OG

If he gets too excited about the Pit eventually taking all, new cracks appear or previous cracks on his body worsen.

His pre-Fall name was Abaddon. It’s unknown what his Choir was.

Abbadon was cocky and prideful but was very quickly humbled by God. Don’t ever shit-talk Gabriel again

His sentences always trail off…

Used to be friends with the Horsemen

Main form of affection is existing in the same room as someone, like a cat. He considers this bonding.

Forgotten

Everyone calls him "F" for short.

He's been hanging around Eve too much cause now he's emo and apathetic like her.

Is the skeleton a different soul??? Who knows!

Uncomfortable in tight spaces. He's not over the being buried thing

Bethany (Her!!!!)

I dunno if that's supposed to be an eye or jewel on her head??? Honestly I kinda prefer jewel

Either way it bleeds when she cries

And it only ever glows if she has an active wisp

Each wisp she summons is gifted by a Goetic demon (I'll explain more once I actually make a ref sheet)

Has a Seal of Solomon ring (again will be on an eventual ref sheet)

Her mom's name is Judy (after Judea in the Bible)

Kinda backstory again

Second soprano in choir

Knew Edith

Only acts tough. She's still sweet on the inside. Her mouth just runs faster than her brain sometimes and regrets things she said

Jacob

J+E backstory here

His mother's name is Rebekah (Like in the Bible)

Momma's boy

Has always been easily jealous and afraid to admit it

Has had a weak stomach ever since he, well, watched his brother get flayed

Blood makes him queasy, cause, well--

We all know he simps for Beth. Dude please just let it go

Currently wearing his mother’s dress

Esau

Much like in the Bible he's the older, fraternal twin

And his dad liked him more…

His vision doesn't suck ass like Jacob's cause of his pact

Which he made with Satan btw

The reason why he's grabbed by Big Horn when he "dies" is because Esau babysits Lil Horn for him. It's the least he can do.

Speaking of Lil Horn that's his little onglydoople. His cutest tootsit. Bapy

I wanted to be dramatic and only have him in serious situations but it's honestly more fun to make him act like an angry cat

Friends with the demon bosses. Yes he gets a lot of "Remember when we tried to kill u??? Lol." jokes from them

I tried to make sure everyone had at least a few. Some definitely have fewer than others lol. I tried my best.

Feel free to, like, reblog this or message me about this. I came up with these on my own so peer review would be nice 👉👈

Hello! I was reading the part of War and Peace that Great Comet was based on and decided to make a list of all the phrases/sentences in the novel that I found while listening along to the cast recording while reading that are either directly put into the lyrics of the musical, or are heavily referenced with a few changes. I have separated these findings by song, not in the order of which they appear in the novel. For some of the lines that are less directly from the novel I have put the lyrics that are connected to them in parentheses and italics next to the book quotes. It’s really really really fun to see which lyrics have a match so I hope you enjoy!

Also sorry for any formatting issues: in some songs there are huge chunks that are almost directly lifted from the book so some placement of bullet points might be wonky. And if you know of any that I missed, please reblog and add!

Pierre:

· “Zest of such a life vanished”

· “Only the skeleton of life remained”

· “His purse was always empty because it was open to everyone.”

· “He is charming; he has no sex.”

· “Hundreds good-humoredly ending their days in Moscow” (“Just one of a hundred sad old men living out their final days in Moscow”)

· “They were empty, stupid, contented fellows, satisfied with their position”

· “Pity his comrades in destiny, as he pitied himself” (I pity you, I pity me, I pity you)

· “Believing in the possibility of goodness and truth”

Moscow:

· “Faded and fading princesses still lived”

· “Touching her goddaughter and favorite, Natásha, on the cheek”

· “I would simply embrace him, cling to him”

· “She loved and knew Prince Andrey, he loved her only, and was to come one of these days and take her. She wanted nothing more.”

· “You know that old Prince Nicholas much dislikes his son’s marrying. The old fellow’s crotchety! Of course Prince Andrey is not a child and can shift without him, but it’s not nice to enter a family against a father’s will. One wants to do it peacefully and lovingly. You’re a clever girl and you’ll know how to manage. Be kind, and use your wits. Then all will be well.”

Private and Intimate Life of the House:

· “Old-fashioned coat and powdered wig”

· “Letting his napkin drop”

· “Besides the couple of hours during which they saw their host, there were also twenty-two hours in the day during which the private and intimate life of the house continued.”

· “Everybody always has liked me”

· “He is old and feeble, and I dare to condemn him.”

Natasha and Bolkonskys:

· “From the first glance Princess Mary did not like Natásha. She thought her too fashionably dressed, frivolously gay and vain.”

· “She was prejudiced against her by involuntary envy of her beauty, youth, and happiness,”

· “She did not like Princess Mary, whom she thought very plain, affected, and dry”

· “Dear Natalie,” said Princess Mary, “I want you to know that I am glad my brother has found happiness.”

· “I think, Princess, it is not convenient to speak of that now”

No One Else:

· I love him alone, him, him, with that face and those eyes, with his smile, manly and yet childlike....” (“And your childlike eyes and your distant smile.”)

· “But perhaps he’ll come today, will come immediately. Perhaps he has come and is sitting in the drawing room. Perhaps he came yesterday and I have forgotten it.” She rose, put down the guitar, and went to the drawing room.”

The Opera:

· “Ladies sat with bare arms and shoulders, and noisy stalls brilliant with uniforms, glittered before their eyes” (“Bare arms and shoulders, brilliant uniforms, pearls and silk glittering before our eyes”)

· “Feminine envy”

· “Hundreds of eyes looking at her bare arms and neck”

· “A whole crowd of memories, desires and emotions”

· “The two remarkably pretty girls, Natásha and Sónya, with Count Rostóv who had not been seen in Moscow for a long time” (“Two remarkably pretty girls have not been seen in Moscow for many years”)

· “Everybody knew vaguely of Natásha’s engagement”

· “One of the best matches in Russia.”

· “Dear me, Michael Kirílovich has grown still stouter!” remarked the count.

· “Look at our Anna Mikháylovna—what a headdress she has on!”

· “He stood in full view of the audience, well aware that he was attracting everyone’s attention, yet as much at ease as though he were in his own room. Around him thronged Moscow’s most brilliant young men, whom he evidently dominated”

· “Now all the Moscow ladies are mad about him!”

· “Much exposed plump white shoulders and neck, round which she wore a double string of large pearls, entered” (“The queen of society, beautiful, barely clothed, plump bare shoulders, and much exposed neck round which she wears a double string of pearls”)

· “Grotesque and amazing”

· “She could not follow the opera nor even listen to the music; she saw only the painted cardboard and the queerly dressed men and women who moved, spoke, and sang so strangely in that brilliant light.”

· “False and unnatural that she first felt ashamed for the actors and then amused at them”

· “And feeling the bright light that flooded the whole place and the warm air heated by the crowd, Natásha little by little began to pass into a state of intoxication”

· “Exceptionally handsome”

· “He moved with a restrained swagger which would have been ridiculous had he not been so good-looking”

· “His sword and spurs slightly jingling and his handsome perfumed head held high”

· “Second act there was scenery representing tombstones”

· “Shades were raised over the footlights, and from horns and contrabass came deep notes while many people appeared from right and left wearing black cloaks and holding things like daggers in their hands”

Natasha and Anatole:

· “Anatole, who was as handsome at close quarters as at a distance, sat down beside her and told her he had long wished to have this happiness—ever since the Narýshkins’ ball in fact, at which he had had the well-remembered pleasure of seeing her”

· “Semënova had fallen down on the stage”

· “Sensible and simple”

· “Boldly and naturally”

· “Strangely and Agreeably”

· “Nothing Formidable”

· “His smile was most naïve, cheerful, and good-natured.”

· “He never removed his smiling eyes from her face, her neck, and her bare arms. Natásha knew for certain that he was enraptured by her. ”

· “Looking into his eyes she was frightened”

· “There was not that barrier of modesty she had always felt between herself and other men”

· “She feared he might seize her from behind by her bare arm and kiss her on the neck.”

· “They spoke of most ordinary things, yet she felt that they were closer to one another than she had ever been to any man”

· “At first I did not like it much, because what makes a town pleasant, ce sont les jolies femmes, isn’t that so? But now I like it very much indeed,”

· “You’ll come to the costume tournament, Countess? Do come”

· “You will be the prettiest there. Do come, dear countess, and give me this flower as a pledge!”

The Duel (Note: The actual duel happened earlier in the novel before Natasha was introduced but the other lines happened within the story that we know from the musical):

· “Though the doctors warned that with his corpulence wine was dangerous for him, he drank a great deal. He was only quite at ease when having poured several glasses of wine mechanically into his large mouth

· “He felt a pleasant warmth in his body”

· “He had got married two years before—a fact known only to his most intimate friends. A Polish landowner of small means had forced him to marry his daughter.”

· “As a duck is so made that it must live in water, so God had made him such that he must spend thirty thousand rubles a year and always occupy a prominent position in society” (“As a duck is made to swim in water, god has made me as I am”)

· “All he cared about was gaiety and women”

· “The attractions of her arms, shoulders, feet, and hair and expressed his intention of making love to her.”

· “She’s first-rate, my dear fellow, but not for us” (“She’s first rate, but nothing but trouble.”)

· “You’d better wait till she’s married....”

· “Here’s to the health of lovely women, Peterkin—and their lovers” (Here’s to the health of married woman and their lovers)

· “Oh yes, it is horribly stupid”

· “Only tell me where to go and where to shoot”

· “As the adversaries have refused a reconciliation, please proceed. Take your pistols, and at the word three begin to advance”

· “Missed!” shouted Dólokhov, and he lay helplessly, face downwards on the snow.”

· “My mother! My mother, my angel, my adored angel mother.”

Charming:

· “She heard in the drawing room the animated sounds of her father’s voice and another’s—a woman’s—that made her flush. It was Hélène.”

· “How is it you’re not ashamed to bury such pearls in the country?” (It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country.”)

· “Oh, my enchantress”

· “This is really beyond anything”

· “How can you live in Moscow and go nowhere”

· “Metallic gauze”

· “Anything suits you, my charmer”

· “Natásha brightened up and felt almost in love with this woman, who was so beautiful and so kind.”

· “The idea of throwing her brother and Natásha together amused her.”

· “My brother dined with me yesterday”

· “He is madly, quite madly, in love with you, my dear”

· “How she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!”

· “You love somebody, my charmer, that is not a reason to shut yourself up. Even if you are engaged.”

· What had seemed terrible now seemed simple and natural.”

· “So she knows I am engaged, and she and her husband Pierre—that good Pierre—have talked and laughed about this. So it’s all right”

The Ball:

· “You know, I adore little girls, they lose their heads at once.”

· “Vanity at his admiration of her and fear at the absence of a moral barrier between them.” (I am seized by feelings of vanity and fear, there is no barrier between us.)

· “Divine! Delicious!”

· “She only felt herself again completely borne away into this strange senseless world—so remote from her old world—a world in which it was impossible to know what was good or bad, reasonable or senseless.” (I’m borne away to a senseless world, so strange so remote. I don’t know good from bad.”)

· “You are enchanting.”

· “As they danced he pressed her waist and hand and told her she was bewitching and that he loved her. During the écossaise, which she also danced with him, Anatole said nothing when they happened to be by themselves, but merely gazed at her. Natásha lifted her frightened eyes to him, but there was such confident tenderness in his affectionate look and smile that she could not, whilst looking at him, say what she had to say.” (“And during the ecossaise he gazed in my eyes, my frightened eyes. Such confident tenderness I could not say what I had to say.”)

· “Don’t say such things to me. I am betrothed and love another.”

· “’Don’t speak to me of that! What can I do?” said he. “I tell you I am madly, madly, in love with you! Is it my fault that you are enchanting?”

· “She understood hardly anything that went on that evening.” (“I don’t understand anything tonight.”)

· “Is it possible that I shall never see you? I love you madly. Can I never…”

· “I don’t understand. I have nothing to say.”

· “Burning lips were pressed to hers.”

· “But she also loved Anatole, of that there was no doubt. How else how could all this have happened.”

· “It means that I loved him from the first. It means that he is kind, noble, and splendid, and I could not help loving him.”

Letters:

· “Only not to see it, that dreadful it!”

· “’What am I to do if I love him and the other one too?’ She asked herself, unable to find an answer to these terrible questions.”

· “He is an invalid and an old man who must be forgiven.” (He’s a tired old man and must be forgiven.”)

· “Princess Mary went on to ask Natásha to fix a time when she could see her again.” (“Please come see us again.”)

· “A letter from him—from the man she loved”

· “But that if she loved him she need only say the word yes” (“If you love me say yes.”)

· “He would steal her away and carry her off to the ends of the earth.” (“I will come and steal you away, steal you out of the dark.”)

· “Yes, she loved him, or else how could that have happened which had happened? And how could she have a love letter from him in her hand?”

Natasha and Sonya:

· “How was it I noticed nothing? How could it go so far?”

· “But it can’t be that she loves him!”

· “And with the decision and tenderness that often come at the moment of awakening, she embraced her friend, but noticing Sónya’s look of embarrassment, her own face expressed confusion and suspicion.”

· “Sonya, you’ve read that letter.”

· “I can’t hide it from you any longer. You know, we love one another! Sónya, darling, he writes...”

· “And Bolkónski?” she asked. “Ah, Sónya, if you only knew how happy I am!” cried Natásha. “You don’t know what love is....”

· “But, Natásha, can that be all over.”

· “Well, then, are you refusing Prince Andrey?” said Sónya.”

· “Oh, you don’t understand anything! Don’t talk nonsense, just listen!” said Natásha, with momentary vexation.”

· “But I can’t believe it,” insisted Sónya. “I don’t understand. How is it you have loved a man for a whole year and suddenly... Why, you have only seen him three times! Natásha, I don’t believe you, you’re joking.”

· “Three days?” said Natásha. “It seems to me I’ve loved him a hundred years. It seems to me that I have never loved anyone before.”

· “What can I do? What can I do, Sónya?” cried Natásha with a happy yet frightened expression.”

· “Why can’t you understand? I love him!”

· “Then I won’t let it come to that... I shall tell!” cried Sónya, bursting into tears.”

· “What do you mean? For God’s sake... If you tell, you are my enemy!” declared Natásha. “You want me to be miserable, you want us to be separated....”

· “But what has happened between you?” she asked. “What has he said to you? Why doesn’t he come to the house?”

· “But why this secrecy?”

· “I don’t know what the reasons are. But there must be reasons.”

· “Sónya, one can’t doubt him! One can’t, one can’t! Don’t you understand?” she cried.”

· “Does he love you?”

· “Does he love me?” Natásha repeated with a smile of pity at her friend’s lack of comprehension. “Why, you have read his letter and you have seen him.”

· “But you haven’t refused Bolkónski?” said she.

· “Perhaps I have. Perhaps all is over between me and Bolkónski. Why do you think so badly of me.”

· “Natásha, I am afraid for you!”

· “I am afraid you’re going to your ruin,” said Sónya resolutely, and was herself horrified at what she had said.”

· “And I’ll go to my ruin, I will, as soon as possible! It’s not your business! It won’t be you, but I, who’ll suffer. Leave me alone, leave me alone! I hate you! I hate you, I hate you! You’re my enemy forever!”

· “Natásha went to the table and without a moment’s reflection wrote that answer to Princess Mary which she had been unable to write all the morning”

· “All their misunderstandings were at an end”

· “Forget everything and forgive her if she had been to blame toward her, but that she could not be his wife”

Preparations:

· “Yes, indeed, that’s a true sage,” thought Pierre. “He sees nothing beyond the pleasure of the moment, nothing troubles him and so he is always cheerful, satisfied, and serene. What wouldn’t I give to be like him!” he thought enviously.”

· “The plan for Natalie Rostóva’s abduction had been arranged and the preparations made by Dólokhov a few days before, and on the day that Sónya, after listening at Natásha’s door, resolved to safeguard her, it was to have been put into execution”

· “Natásha had promised to come out to Kurágin at the back porch at ten that evening”

· “Kurágin was to put her into a troyka he would have ready and to drive her forty miles to the village of Kámenka, where an unfrocked priest was in readiness to perform a marriage ceremony over them. ”

· “Anatole had a passport, an order for post horses, ten thousand rubles he had taken from his sister and another ten thousand borrowed with Dólokhov’s help.”

· “Anatole, with uniform unbuttoned, walked to and fro”

· “Do you know? You’d really better drop it all. There’s still time!”

· “Fool,” retorted Anatole. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

· “Go to the devil! Eh?” said Anatole, making a grimace. “Really it’s no time for your stupid jokes.”

· “Why should I joke about it? Did I hinder you? Who arranged everything for you? Who found the priest and got the passport? Who raised the money? I did it all.”

· “Well, thank you for it. Do you think I am not grateful?”

· “Oh, nonsense, nonsense!” Anatole ejaculated and again made a grimace. “Didn’t I explain to you? What?” And Anatole, with the partiality dull-witted people have for any conclusion they have reached by their own reasoning, repeated the argument he had already put to Dólokhov a hundred times.”

· “Abroad no one will know anything about it.”

· “It’s the very devil! What? Feel how it beats!”

· “Now then! Nearly ready? You’re dawdling!”

· “Handsome lips muttered tenderly to himself.”

· “Balagá is here.”

Balaga:

· “Drunk on champagne and Madeira, which he loved”

The Abduction:

· “Well, comrades and friends of my youth, we’ve had our fling and lived and reveled. Eh? And now, when shall we meet again? I am going abroad”

· “My revels here are over. Remember me to Stëshka.”

· “Shut the door; we have first to sit down. That’s the way.”

· “Where’s the fur cloak?”

· “I have heard what elopements are like,” continued Dólokhov with a wink. “Why, she’ll rush out more dead than alive just in the things she is wearing; if you delay at all there’ll be tears and ‘Papa’ and ‘Mamma,’ and she’s frozen in a minute and must go back—but you wrap the fur cloak round her first thing and carry her to the sleigh.”

· “When they reached the gate Dólokhov whistled. The whistle was answered, and a maidservant ran out.”

· “Come into the courtyard or you’ll be seen; she’ll come out directly,” said she.”

· “Dólokhov stayed by the gate. Anatole followed the maid into the courtyard, turned the corner, and ran up into the porch.”

· “Kurágin! Come back!” shouted Dólokhov. “Betrayed! Back!”

In My House:

· “You shameless good-for-nothing!”

· “In my house... horrid girl, hussy!”

· “A nice girl! Very nice.”

· “You listen when I speak to you!”

· “Natásha did not change her position, but her whole body heaved with noiseless, convulsive sobs.”

· “It’s lucky for him that he escaped me; but I’ll find him!” she said in her rough voice. “Do you hear what I am saying or not?” she added.”

· “Let me be!... What is it to me?... I shall die!”

· “I have no betrothed: I have refused him!”

· “Your father, I know him... if he challenges him to a duel will that be all right? Eh?”

· “Were you kept under lock and key?”

· “Why carry you off as if you were some gypsy singing girl?... Well, if he had carried you off... do you think they wouldn’t have found him? Your father, or brother, or your betrothed? And he’s a scoundrel, a wretch—that’s a fact!”

· “He is better than any of you!” exclaimed Natásha getting up. “If you hadn’t interfered... Oh, my God! What is it all? What is it? Sónya, why?... Go away!”

· “Márya Dmítrievna was to speak again but Natásha cried out: ‘Go away! Go away! You all hate and despise me!’ and she threw herself back on the sofa.”

· “Márya Dmítrievna put a pillow under her head, covered her with two quilts, and herself brought her some lime-flower water, but Natásha did not respond to her.”

· “Well, let her sleep,” said Márya.”

· “But Natásha was not asleep; with pale face and fixed wide-open eyes.”

· “All that night she did not sleep or weep.”

· “She sat at the window.”

A Call to Pierre:

· “When he returned to Moscow Pierre was handed a letter from Márya Dmítrievna asking him to come and see her on a matter of great importance relating to Andrey Bolkónski and his betrothed.”

· “What can they want with me?”

· “He was not the only man unfortunate enough to be tied to a bad woman.”

· “She therefore asked Pierre to tell his brother-in-law in her name to leave Moscow and not dare to let her set eyes on him again.”

Find Anatole:

· “He drove through the town seeking Anatole Kurágin, at the thought of whom now the blood rushed to his heart and he felt a difficulty in breathing.”

· “He was not at the ice hills, nor at the gypsies’, nor at Komoneno’s.”

· “In the Club all was going on as usual.”

· “Natásha looked from one to the other as a hunted and wounded animal looks at the approaching dogs and sportsmen.”

· “Ah, Pierre,” said the countess going up to her husband. “You don’t know what a plight our Anatole...”

· “At that moment she was more repulsive to him than ever.”

· “Anatole followed him with his usual jaunty step but his face betrayed anxiety.”

· “Pierre closed the door and addressed Anatole without looking at him.”

Pierre and Anatole:

· “You promised Countess Rostóva to marry her and were about to elope with her, is that so?”

· “Mon cher,” answered Anatole (their whole conversation was in French), “I don’t consider myself bound to answer questions put to me in that tone.”

· “Pierre’s face, already pale, became distorted by fury. He seized Anatole by the collar of his uniform with his big hand and shook him from side to side till Anatole’s face showed a sufficient degree of terror.”

· “When I tell you that I must talk to you!...” repeated Pierre.”

· “Come now, this is stupid.”

· “You’re a scoundrel and a blackguard, and I don’t know what deprives me from the pleasure of smashing your head with this!” said Pierre, expressing himself so artificially.”

· “Did you promise to marry her?”

· “’I... I didn’t think of it. I never promised, because...’ Pierre interrupted him.

· ‘Have you any letters of hers? Any letters?’ he said, moving toward Anatole.”

· “I shan’t be violent, don’t be afraid!” said Pierre in answer to a frightened gesture of Anatole’s. “First, the letters,” said he, as if repeating a lesson to himself. “Secondly,” he continued after a short pause, again rising and again pacing the room, “tomorrow you must get out of Moscow.”

· “But how can I?...”

· “Thirdly,” Pierre continued without listening to him, “you must never breathe a word of what has passed between you and Countess Rostóva. I know I can’t prevent your doing so, but if you have a spark of conscience...” Pierre paced the room several times in silence. Anatole sat at a table frowning and biting his lips.”

· “After all, you must understand that besides your pleasure there is such a thing as other people’s happiness and peace, and that you are ruining a whole life for the sake of amusing yourself! Amuse yourself with women like my wife—with them you are within your rights, for they know what you want of them. They are armed against you by the same experience of debauchery; but to promise a maid to marry her... to deceive, to kidnap.... Don’t you understand that it is as mean as beating an old man or a child?...”

· “I don’t know about that, eh?” said Anatole, growing more confident as Pierre mastered his wrath. “I don’t know that and don’t want to,” he said, not looking at Pierre and with a slight tremor of his lower jaw, “but you have used such words to me—‘mean’ and so on—which as a man of honor I can’t allow anyone to use.”

· “Is it satisfaction you want?” said Pierre ironically.”

· “You could at least take back your words. What? If you want me to do as you wish, eh?”

· “I take them back, I take them back!” said Pierre, “and I ask you to forgive me.” Pierre involuntarily glanced at the loose button. “And if you require money for your journey...”

· “Anatole smiled. The expression of that base and cringing smile, which Pierre knew so well in his wife, revolted him.”

· “Oh, vile and heartless brood!” he exclaimed, and left the room.”

· Next day Anatole left for Petersburg.”

Natasha Very Ill:

· “The whole house was in a state of alarm and commotion. Natásha was very ill, having, as Márya Dmítrievna told him in secret, poisoned herself the night after she had been told that Anatole was married, with some arsenic she had stealthily procured”

· “She woke Sónya and told her what she had done”

· “She was now out of danger, though still so weak”

· “He was awaiting Prince Andrey’s return with dread”

Pierre and Andrey:

· “Prince Andrey, greatly changed and plainly in better health, but with a fresh horizontal wrinkle between his brows…”

· “Well, how are you? Still getting stouter?”

· “Forgive me for troubling you, I have received a refusal from Countess Rostóva and have heard reports of your brother-in-law having sought her hand, or something of that kind. Is that true?”

· “Here are her letters and her portrait,” said he. He took the packet from the table and handed it to Pierre. “Give this to the countess... if you see her.”

· “I much regret her illness,” said Prince Andrey; and he smiled like his father, coldly, maliciously, and unpleasantly.”

· “Well, it doesn’t matter,” said Prince Andrey”

· “Yes,” returned Prince Andrey hastily. “I said that a fallen woman should be forgiven, but I didn’t say I could forgive her. I can’t. Yes, ask her hand again, be magnanimous, and so on? Yes, that would be very noble, but I am unable to follow in that gentleman’s footsteps. If you wish to be my friend never speak to me of that... of all that! Well, good-by.”

Pierre and Natasha:

· “Natásha was standing in the middle of the drawing room, emaciated, with a pale set face, but not at all shamefaced as Pierre expected to find her. When he appeared at the door she grew flurried, evidently undecided whether to go to meet him or to wait till he came up. Pierre hastened to her. He thought she would give him her hand as usual; but she, stepping up to him, stopped, breathing heavily, her arms hanging lifelessly just in the pose she used to stand in when she went to the middle of the ballroom to sing, but with quite a different expression of face.”

· “Peter Kirílovich,” she began rapidly, “Prince Bolkónski was your friend—is your friend,” she corrected herself. (It seemed to her that everything that had once been must now be different.) “He told me once to apply to you...” Pierre sniffed as he looked at her, but did not speak. Till then he had reproached her in his heart and tried to despise her, but he now felt so sorry for her that there was no room in his soul for reproach”

· “He is here now: tell him... to for... forgive me!” She stopped and breathed still more quickly, but did not shed tears. “Yes... I will tell him,” answered Pierre; “but...” He did not know what to say.”

· “No, I know all is over,” she said hurriedly. “No, that can never be. I’m only tormented by the wrong I have done him. Tell him only that I beg him to forgive, forgive, forgive me for everything....”

· “I will tell him, I will tell him everything once more,” said Pierre. “But... I should like to know one thing....”

· “Know what?” Natásha’s eyes asked.”

· “I should like to know, did you love...” Pierre did not know how to refer to Anatole and flushed at the thought of him—“did you love that bad man?”

· “Don’t call him bad!” said Natásha. “But I don’t know, don’t know at all....” She began to cry and a still greater sense of pity, tenderness, and love welled up in Pierre. He felt the tears trickle under his spectacles and hoped they would not be noticed.

· “We won’t speak of it any more, my dear,” said Pierre, and his gentle, cordial tone suddenly seemed very strange to Natásha. “We won’t speak of it, my dear—I’ll tell him everything; but one thing I beg of you, consider me your friend and if you want help, advice, or simply to open your heart to someone—not now, but when your mind is clearer think of me!” He took her hand and kissed it. “I shall be happy if it’s in my power...” Pierre grew confused.

· “Don’t speak to me like that. I am not worth it!” exclaimed Natásha and turned to leave the room, but Pierre held her hand. He knew he had something more to say to her. But when he said it he was amazed at his own words.

· “Stop, stop! You have your whole life before you,” said he to her.

· “Before me? No! All is over for me,” she replied with shame and self-abasement.

· “All over?” he repeated. “If I were not myself, but the handsomest, cleverest, and best man in the world, and were free, I would this moment ask on my knees for your hand and your love!” For the first time for many days Natásha wept tears of gratitude and tenderness, and glancing at Pierre she went out of the room. Pierre too when she had gone almost ran into the anteroom, restraining tears of tenderness and joy that choked him, and without finding the sleeves of his fur cloak threw it on and got into his sleigh.”

The Great Comet of 1812:

· “Where to?” Pierre asked himself. “Where can I go now? Surely not to the Club or to pay calls?” All men seemed so pitiful, so poor, in comparison with this feeling of tenderness and love he experienced: in comparison with that softened, grateful, last look she had given him through her tears.”

· “Home!” said Pierre, and despite twenty-two degrees of frost Fahrenheit he threw open the bearskin cloak from his broad chest and inhaled the air with joy.”

· “It was clear and frosty. Above the dirty, ill-lit streets, above the black roofs, stretched the dark starry sky.”

· “Almost in the center of it, above the Prechístenka Boulevard, surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars shone the enormous and brilliant comet of 1812—the comet which was said to portend all kinds of woes and the end of the world. In Pierre, however, that comet with its long luminous tail aroused no feeling of fear.

· On the contrary he gazed joyfully, his eyes moist with tears, at this bright comet which, having traveled in its orbit with inconceivable velocity through immeasurable space, seemed suddenly—like an arrow piercing the earth—to remain fixed in a chosen spot, vigorously holding its tail erect, shining and displaying its white light amid countless other scintillating stars.

· It seemed to Pierre that this comet fully responded to what was passing in his own softened and uplifted soul, now blossoming into a new life.”

Codelobster IDE - Free PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript editor - Review

If you are a seasoned developer, you most likely already know what an IDE is: however, for the sake of those readers who never touched a single line of code, we'll briefly summarize the concept. In computing, IDE is an acronym for Integrated Development Environment: in a nutshell, a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. A standard IDE normally consists of three major elements: a source code editor, a build engine (or equivalent building automation tools), and a debugger. Most modern IDEs have also other cool features, such as intelligent code completion mechanisms (IntelliSense), shortcuts, syntax highlighting, and other cool add-ons to ease the overall experience of their developers. In this post we'll talk about one of the most interesting - yet underestimated - IDE released in the latest few years: Codelobster, a portable, multi-platform development environment made for PHP yet also supporting HTML, CSS and JavaScript languages. As developers, we went through a full test-drive - from installation to coding and, last but not least, building.

Multi-Platform approach

A good IDE has to be multi-platform and Codelobster makes no exceptions: both the free and professional editions come with native Windows, MacOS and Linux binaries: for this review we used the screenshots of the Windows port, however we also tried the Linux build which offered the same look and feel and overall experience.

Installing

Installing Codelobester is just as easy as any other software: you just have to visit the official download page from the Codelobster website and pick the version you want to try: Codelobster IDE - the free edition, with all the basic features active and no expiration time. Codelobster Professional - the shareware edition with additional features, plugins and add-ons. We'll compare the two edition's features later on. For the purpose of this test-drive, we just picked up the Codelobster IDE free edition 1.5.1, released on February 28, 2019, which was the latest version at the time of writing. The installation wizard is pretty standard, you'll just have to accept the End-User Agreement and hit Next a couple times. You'll also get the chance to choose which File Types to open with Codelobster (the suggested extensions are .php, .js, .php5, .inc, .xml, .xsl and .module), the color scheme to use and the components/features you want to use:

The setup wizard will also install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redristibutable package, unless it's already present on the system.

Main Window

Once the installed ends, the wizard will give you the chance to immediately run Codelobster. After you hit YES, the main window of the IDE will appear in all its glory:

As we can see, the main GUI is splitted in multiple sections. In the topmost section there's a standard Menu, followed by some customizable Toolbars. In the left panel we have a standard File Explorer, which can be used to visually browse the code files to open and their folders: such files can be found within the local FileSystem or custom FTP/SFTP servers that we can connect to. The Explorer window can be switched out for a series of other project-related panels (Structure, Class View, Project, SQL) using the tabs placed just below the panel. The center panel is where the Text Editor will open, as soon as a file has been selected (or created with the File > New menu option). In the right panel we can see a series of other useful tabs (Index, Dynamic Help, Properties, Map) which we can use to access contextual info about our project. In the bottom panel we have the "standard" ouput, search result and debug/call stack windows, as expected by any modern IDE GUI. The overall look and feel loosely reminds us the most recent installments of Visual Studio / Visual Studio Code, which is indeed a good thing! This could be great to attract the typical ASP.NET developer, who could have issues in using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code when working with PHP as both the Microsoft IDEs don't natively support that language.

Text Editor

One of the most defining things of any IDE undoubtely is the Text Editor, which is where most of the developer work takes place. Codelobster's text editor is natively packed out with the following features: Powerful Syntax Highlighting: it highlights the syntax and gives hints for tags, functions and their parameters, even with files that contain mixed content (HTML + PHP + CSS). Auto-Completion function, which greatly speeds up the programmer's work and minimizes the chances of coding errors and typos. Highly Customizable interface with several visual styles. Portable mode - you'll be able to bring your IDE everywhere using any USB pendrive. File comparison tool (WinMerge-alike) Web Browser Preview (with any browser) File Explorer with complete file and folder editing capabilities (new, edit, delete) Code formatting tools (professional version only) Advanced search & replace features with full special characters and Regular Expressions support. Search & replace in files and folders, even recursively. Auto indent Visible spaces, paragraphs and tabs. Extended text selection and deletion Full Unicode support and multiple encoding conversions Line sorting with a wide range of options Bookmarks SQL management tools (professional version only) Version Control integration with SVN, Git and Mercurial HG support (professional version only) 1-Click Contextual Help for all supported programming languages: the help database uses the most up to date documentation for each supported language by downloading it from official sites.

Debugger

The built-in PHP debugger allows you to execute PHP scripts step by step, moving through the lines of code using the standard F5 (debug) - F10 (step over) - F11 (step into) function keys: the GUI allows the developer to assign breakpoints and monitor the values of all variables using the Locals and Watch windows (bottom panel) during the execution of the script. We tested the debugger, together with the text editor, against one of our biggest PHP project - the Myst.it website, which features more than 150.000 lines of PHP code splitted between ~ 20.000 files. The debugger worked really well, giving our best developers a nice experience: we're talking about experienced guys used to work with Visual Studio and PHP Tools, therefore they know what a good GUI and development IDE actually are... however, they were really happy and positively surprised by the Codelobster environment and had no issue in working with it.

Version Control

The professional version of CodeLobster IDE supports the following Version Control Systems: Git SVN (PHP Edition only) Mercurial (PHP Edition only) We tried to configure Git without significative issues. The first thing to do is to configure the Git executable path:

Right after that, the Git commands features will appear on the File Explorer contextual menu, accessible by right-clicking on any file or folder:

Most of the SCM preferences can be configured in the Tools > Preferences > IDE > HotKeys > VCS:

Additional Features

Here are some useful function which got our attention, as they cannot be found in most IDEs: Pair highlighting of parentheses and tags : the text editor will instantly notice (and warn you) if there are missing opening or closing parentheses/tags. Highlighting and collapsing of blocks, selections and code snippets: another great feature of Visual Studio, which we gladly found here as well. Code Validator for PHP, HTML and CSS which identifies syntax errors in expressions, declarations and cycles (PHP), as well as names/attribute errors (HTML, CSS): sadly, this feature is now available only on the professional version. Full Internalization Support, with 17 user interface languages including: English, German, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian and others.

Supported Systems

The program works on the following operation systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS, Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian.

Conclusion

Codelobster IDE really impressed us for its nice set of features, the user-friendly GUI and the sleek window design, which is clearly inspired from other top-grade IDEs. Given all this, we can only recommend it: the free edition itself is good enough for small-to-medium PHP/HTML projects, while the professional version might be a good choice if you need the advanced features or the language-specific plugins.
