Some "if Yue is alive and went travelling with the Gaang" designs
With a ton of text about cultural inspiration.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The main book 2 look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wanted to show cultural differences between the tribes, so Yue's look is sort of Mongolian. There were Mongolian-styled hats in the Northern tribe, and Yue's dress under the coat looked like a Mongolian deel (thanks @atlaculture for all these posts about clothes and everything else!), so it's not much against the canon information.
So she's wearing a deel again with a second layer - there are chinese actors on photos as far as I know; I hope it's okay. One-shoulder silhouette refers to later Aang's clothes because Yue is still kind of a spiritual person (she wasn't a fighter, so I want her to have some other useful talent – not a bender or healer like Katara or a non-bender warrior like Suki). Violet, pink and white were originally her colors, no changes here. Three blue characters would be too much for a group of five, and total white is not practical at all. I like to think that violet color shows high rank in the Avatar universe; in the original series it was only worn by princess Yue, Kanna, the chief Hakoda's mother, and by king Bumi.
Yue's boots here are mongolian gutals/gutuls (the collage is already big, but I used them again for one of Book 3-looks).
Her hair become simpler – just two braids and a hairpiece, to match her previous decorated hairdo. I guess if she's travelling with the Gaang she's not that much of a Moon Spirit anymore (maybe she returned the part of the moon spirit that saved her and was healed other way?), so I decided to forego the moon-referring part. Also it will be easier to do by herself since she has no servants now... The headdress I took from modern Mongolian dancers; the front part is crescent-moon-shaped.
The Ba Sing Se dress
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I fell in love with this Ao Dai dress, it's simple, long and elegant. But... it's mostly Vietnamese
 and I'm afraid that it's modern and not historically accurate. Also it does not really go together with other Ba Sing Se dresses :( because I did not want to just copy-paste some background look. But there is at least one dress with a tail, thigh high slits and a standing collar on the dress underneath, so... I guess my choice is not that bad? The tail makes her look more royal. The fan is the same which Toph and Katara had. For the palette I chose Yue's white color with EK greens and warm yellow/ochre to match Katara and Toph. The hairdo is copied from the series; I chose one with the tassel on the right, to refer the NWT/Korean accessories.
The Fire Nation disguise
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A confession – I don't like FN clothes. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it properly, so I almost copied that attire (left one) – asymmetry, as a Thai touch, which again matches Aang's Invasion Buddhist-like clothes. The palette keeps Yue's signature white, with some pink of a warmer shade, as they wear it in the Fire Nation. And the "royal" long skirt, 'cause she's still not a fighter. The look is simplified so I could not keep zigzag ornament on her longyi skirt, therefore I moved it onto the top part.
I used Thai dancers jewelry and... flip flops? idk how they are called in Southeast Asia (don't like Sokka and Katara's FN shoes at all, why the design is so complicated?).
For covering her hair I used a turban, inspired by Myanmar turbans; a white one, so if some hair will show, it won't be too noticeable. Also Yue could still be easily recognised on screen/page by her white head. The long end of the fabric on her right resembles burmese hairstyle silhouette.
The Invasion-and-till-finale look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For her dress I used a deel (again); the sleeveless jacket is an hommage to her original design and has some Korean vibes, like Toph's Ba Sing Se dress (at least I hope so). Katara and Sokka's season 1 looks have Korean influence, so I guess it's okay. Gutals are from her Book 2 main look. I have a soft spot for them.
My favorite thing is her hair :)))) It's a mix of Inuit/Mongolian braids and a hairpiece, also from the Book 2 look. This time there will be more braids. Two on the front – I wanted to keep them from her original hairdo, but now they are braided together (I saw this on the Alaskan Inuit/Eskimo women photos). On the back there are five, inspired by a Mongolian hairdo for young unmarried girls, who wore multiple braids. I decided to make five, because Alaskian Inuit language uses this amount for counting and with two front braids it'll make seven, which is a lucky Mongolian number. And in theory a limited number should be easier to animate.
The post-canon noble look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After the final battle I thought Yue will come back to Agna Qel'a and become a more active political figure. I chose a white kuspuk (blue color is still for Katara and Sokka), showing that she is ready to lead her tribe after this journey, not the passive perfect princess she was before. "She is associated in canon with the masculine yang of the yin and yang and the moon which, in most Inuit and Eskimo cultures, is considered masculine as well. While white kuspuks are associated with men and specifically family patriarchs, a feminine kuspuk in white makes plenty of sense for Yue's character" – @mostly-mundane-atla helped me a lot with the cultural meaning of the clothes (I am so grateful!). Also it's an hommage to her total-white Moon Spirit look. And I changed her hair again to Greenland updo with two tied braids on the front – more complicated than the simple braids she wore during the journey. It looks formal.
NWT is less Inuit-inspired and has a strong Mongolian touch (to make them look more "modern"? dunno) but I guess the formal wear for the spiritual princess could refer to older traditions. Which should be the same with SWT, 'cause SWT was originally a part of NWT – or so I heard. For example, Kuruk, the NWT Avatar who lived about 400 years ago, has nothing Mongolian in his look.
All the looks are simplified to match the style of the original cartoon. I know there should be more details and embroidery, but my goal here was to draw something (at least theoretically) applicable for animation. And no Hahn's betrothal necklace of course.
Also I want to mention here other great Yue designs, since they are the inspiration behind the overall idea of the post – the moon looks and "Yue joins the Gaang" outfits by amazingly talented @chiptrillino.
P.S.: an important note
This is my first attempt ever to design outfits that could fit the world of A:tLA. I am not Asian or ingenious, not an expert in their cultures or costume history at all, not a professional character designer. I am just a fan who tried to create designs with respect to real cultures and people. Nothing here was supposed to be offensive in any way. If something still is – please inform me so I could fix it as soon as possible.
I hope, as a fan, I have the right to draw fanarts looking for an inspiration in the cultures that inspired the original cartoon.
If you see mistakes in my post, be it in drawings or a text, also feel free to tell me. I will deeply appreciate it.

Weird thing probably, but I want to give it a try.
An hommage to all "I, personally, think Zuko is hotter than Aang, so Katara obviously would think the same" that's been said ever because if they think they can do something like it, so can I.
I moved to the other country for studies and for work several years ago, leaving all my family and friends (got new ones, good ones, but still). And I like a lot of things here, some of them are better than in my homeland. Some things I don't like, they are worse, or just "not for me". And whenever I read a zutara fic, when I still had enough hope to do it, I thought about Katara's experience with moving to the Fire Nation, which is a pretty common thing there. First, there are no things she does not like. Some social unjustice - well, of course, she must confront the nobility and have saintZuko supporting her to show the readers how perfect and amazing he is - but the cuisine, the climate, the customs, the holidays, all this stuff? She's completely fine, she likes everything and gets used to heat and spices very quickly if she even needs to get used to it at all (I still have problems with both these things here).
I can come visit my homeland one or two times a year. Guess Katara would have been in a similar situation, because zutara insist that Fire Ladies have a lot of responsibilities with internal affairs - your rules, guys, she cannot leave very often in this case.
I can contact my family and friends any day - write to them and see if they are online and read it, and get immediate answer, or call them and hear their voices, or make a video call and see their faces and the stuff they want to show me, or exchange photos and videos. Katara would not have such luxury, the messenger hawks don't fly that fast, and she can only write or wait until her friends come around (good thing Aang has Appa, and the Fire Nation has these balloons, but it's still slower and more rare that a video call through internet, and ships are even slower).
I am lucky enough to have some people of the same origin as me here - not a diaspora, but there are many of them, I often hear people speaking my mother tongue on the streets, I can find some products that I remember since childhood, I have someones to share cultural practices with, etc. Katara is often completely alone in the fics, she doesn't have many (if any) Water People to talk to, and the only Water Tribe things around her are the ones she took with herself while moving. And, not going to pretend, I am not as devoted to my culture as Katara is (partly because I am not the last waterbender and my homeland was not raided for decades I guess) - I love it, but she obviously loves hers more; it just means more to her.
I chat with my sibling almost constantly, about every little thing, we only stop if we're really busy or asleep (and we still miss each other). Katara also has people whom she's super close to. She does not have my luxury.
Granted, I do not have a romantic partner to be crazy in love with, but even if I had, they would not replace my friends and relatives, and all the things that I miss. If anything, I would be sad sometimes because being in love, being happy with someone is another wonderful experience I cannot share immediately with the people who are dear to me.
And we're down to the bottom line - who of us misses their homeland and all the stuff that made it "home", their family, their friends? Me, who has internet connection to talk any moment to any person I want; who has a company talking the same language, watching the same catoons when they were little, walking the same streets as me while growing up; who can just come and buy some food exactly like in the supermarket next to my family's apartment back home? Or Katara in zutara fanfics, living in the Fire Nation, having much stronger connection to her home than I do and much less options to be close to it in any way?
Judging by my experience with zutara fanfiction, the answer is always me. Not once have I read about Katara's experience with moving to Fire Nation and think "yes, that's how you feel leaving your home, even if you have a good reason, even if you are in a good place". More often it was like "okay, you're saying, for example, that Katara missed Sokka - where exactly did she do it, again? He wasn't mentioned once before that line". Why every time I read a zutara fanfic I felt like I miss my home more than Katara does in this fic? Much, much more! Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't it be at least the same? Like, okay, not everyone has this experience to describe it realistically, with all small details - but the authors are not even trying! They write Katara as not caring about the home she left, and I don't get it! Isn't her devotion to save her culture, to learn waterbending, best from a real southern waterbender, one of important, core, traits in her personality?
So, my take is: "I, personally, miss my home a lot, despite being happy in the place that I chose and not regretting my decision, and, comparing our sutuations, if Katara moved to the Fire Nation, she would have missed hers at least as much as I miss mine". Just as valid as their takes about preferring Zuko over Aang, I'll take no criticism.
She never does. She never actually misses anything. Even if the South Pole in the fic is told to be a fine place with good memories for Katara and not some misogynic oppressive hell.
They screwed up her character, big time, and it pained me every time I saw it.
I looooooooove using zutarians' weird "my experiences are universal, actually, so Katara MUST feel the same" against them, so congrats anon, you did it perfectly.
"Granted, I do not have a romantic partner to be crazy in love with" What a coincidence since, in these Fire Lady Katara fics, neither does Katara - after all, she never loved Zuko.

L’effroyable destin de l’arbre de Robin des bois - 28 Minutes (23/10/2023) - Regarder l’émission complĂšte | ARTE
L'arbre Sycamore Gap, isolĂ© au pied de deux collines dans un paysage spectaculaire, se trouvait tout prĂšs du mur d'Hadrien, Ă©rigĂ© Ă  l'Ă©poque romaine pour empĂȘcher l'invasion des barbares, un site classĂ© au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. En 2016, il avait Ă©tĂ© Ă©lu «arbre de l'annĂ©e».
Tumblr media
Dans le film Robin des Bois, sorti en 1991, on voyait Kevin Costner et Morgan Freeman marcher devant cet arbre impressionnant, qui faisait le bonheur des randonneurs dans le nord-est de l'Angleterre.
Tumblr media
C'Ă©tait l'un des arbres les plus photographiĂ©s du Royaume-Uni. Mais jeudi 28 septembre 2023, des promeneurs ont dĂ©couvert sa souche Ă  nu. Et le reste de l'arbre couchĂ© sur le mur. Le gestionnaire du parc national a rapidement dĂ©clarĂ© qu'il avait Ă©tĂ© «dĂ©libĂ©rĂ©ment abattu». La police de Northumbria, qui a ouvert une enquĂȘte, a annoncĂ© jeudi aprĂšs-midi l'arrestation d'un adolescent de 16 ans. «Les dommages causĂ©s Ă  l'arbre sont le rĂ©sultat d'un acte de vandalisme dĂ©libĂ©ré», a-t-elle affirmĂ© dans un communiquĂ©. L'adolescent est en garde Ă  vue. Les Ă©vĂšnements d'aujourd'hui ont provoquĂ© le choc, la tristesse et la colĂšre», a soulignĂ© le directeur de la police Kevin Waring. Plusieurs habitants de la rĂ©gion se sont rendus sur les lieux, comme pour rendre hommage au Sycamore Gap. Des fleurs ont mĂȘme Ă©tĂ© dĂ©posĂ©es prĂšs de la souche, devant le cordon de sĂ©curitĂ© mis en place par la police. «J'Ă©prouve un rĂ©el sentiment de perte», a dit Tony Gates, le directeur de la Northumberland National Park Authority, le gestionnaire du parc national. «Nous avons eu des gens en larmes aujourd'hui», a-t-il ajoutĂ©. «Nous avons Ă©tĂ© submergĂ©s par les messages sur les rĂ©seaux sociaux, sur notre site, de personnes sincĂšrement touchĂ©es par cette perte». L'organisation pour la protection du patrimoine National Trust s'est dite, sur X (ex-Twitter), «choquĂ©e et dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©ment triste». «Nous savons combien cet arbre est aimĂ© par les locaux, au niveau national, et par tous ceux qui l'ont vu». Cet arbre est «un Ă©lĂ©ment important et emblĂ©matique du paysage depuis prĂšs de 200 ans», a ajoutĂ© le directeur du National Trust, Andrew Poad. De nombreuses personnes, notamment des membres de groupes de randonnĂ©e, ont partagĂ© leur consternation et leurs souvenirs heureux prĂšs de l'arbre, sur place et sur les rĂ©seaux sociaux. «C'est une honte que quelqu'un soit venu pour vandaliser ce beau coin de la nature», a dit Ryan Knotman, un technicien de 40 ans. Au dĂ©but de l'annĂ©e, j'Ă©tais assise en train de faire du crochet au sommet de la colline pendant que mon mari et mon fils grimpaient sur la paroi Ă  cĂŽtĂ© de l'arbre, un homme a expliquĂ© avoir demandĂ© sa femme en mariage au pied du Sycamore Gap. Selon Tony Gates, certains ont mĂȘme dispersĂ© ici les cendres de leur proche dĂ©cĂ©dĂ©. La dĂ©putĂ©e locale Mary Foy a dĂ©noncĂ© un «acte de vandalisme bĂȘte» et «dĂ©chirant» d'un lieu iconique du Nord-Est de l'Angleterre

Des nouvelles de la gauche allemande.
La république de Weimar n'était pas allée aussi loin.
Croyez-le ou non, mais la France Insoumise fait figure de parti dĂ©cent comparativement Ă  son Ă©quivalent allemand, Die Linke, hĂ©ritier du parti marxiste-lĂ©niniste d’Allemagne de l’Est.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
La prime revient à ce nÚgre motorisé :
Tumblr media
Il existe vraiment.
Si un truc comme ça vous fonçait dessus, vous auriez la trouille de votre vie.
Le candidat Ă  la direction du parti lors du partie Die Linke d’aujourd’hui, Bernard Bonsu, a roulĂ© vers moi en hurlant de maniĂšre agressive il y a environ deux mois sur le campus de l’@unihh et s’est fait agresser physiquement alors que j’étais simplement en train de boire mon cafĂ©.
Tumblr media
Ces créatures sont une validation explicite du national-socialisme.
Sans la propagande antifa massive, le national-socialisme serait déjà réhabilité depuis des décennies.
Tumblr media
Rétrospectivement, on comprend la nécessité de la politique eugéniste révolutionnaire du TroisiÚme Reich.
Si vous n’éradiquez pas les dĂ©gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©s sous prĂ©texte d’arguments humanitaires, vous laissez la pourriture biologique prospĂ©rer. Cette pourriture sert de terreau Ă  la prolifĂ©ration de toutes les pathologies sociales et elles ne tardent pas Ă  empoisonner l’organisme de la nation.
La vĂ©ritable charitĂ© consiste Ă  respecter les lois de la vie et rĂ©primer tout ce qui affaiblit le socle racial d’une nation. La dĂ©mocratie, fondĂ©e sur le mythe rĂ©gressif de l’égalitĂ©, poursuit une politique radicalement opposĂ©e.
Les élections ne peuvent pas résoudre les problÚmes posés par un systÚme qui se nourrit de la dégénérescence biologique. Il faut juguler cette dégénérescence à sa racine.
Un hommage appuyĂ© Ă  Philipp Bouler, architecte de l’Aktion T4, s’impose.
Tumblr media
Mais ce qui s’impose surtout, c’est la mise en mouvement d’un national-socialisme 2.0.
Il est manifeste que les masses, quoique dĂ©sorientĂ©es par la propagande juive, brĂ»lent d’une envie d’ordre fasciste. Un fascisme qui doit ĂȘtre biologique.
Ce NS 2.0 devra cette fois ĂȘtre radical.
Adolf Hitler a tentĂ© une approche faite d’empathie et de modĂ©ration, nous n’aurons pas ce luxe.
DĂ©mocratie Participative

Ah, le joli mois d’octobre ! La dĂ©plorable situation au Proche-Orient – disons en Palestine pour prĂ©ciser les choses –, rĂ©vĂšle, en Occident essentiellement, les peurs, les lĂąchetĂ©s, voire les renoncements de bien des populations et de leur gouvernement. Ce que j’observe, avec amusement autant qu’avec inquiĂ©tude, c’est l’immaturitĂ© des rĂ©actions de la plupart des nations de “l’Occident global” face aux derniers dĂ©veloppements de problĂšmes pourtant vieux comme Mathusalem. Le fond, comme la forme, sont dĂ©sespĂ©rants. L’Europe, et la France en particulier, attestent l’effacement dĂ©finitif de leur rĂŽle historique dans le bassin Levantin. Les mĂ©dias, comme c’est leur habitude, hystĂ©risent les Ă©vĂ©nements et prennent aveuglĂ©ment le parti de leurs actionnaires. “IsraĂ«l ! IsraĂ«l ! IsraĂ«l !” entends-je partout, Ă  tout bout de champ, tout le temps. Il faut dĂ©fendre IsraĂ«l avec les IsraĂ©liens, parce qu’IsraĂ«l, c’est le rempart de notre civilisation contre les sauvages musulmans. Quand IsraĂ«l sera tombĂ©, c’est tout le continent qui sera attaquĂ©, la nuit, Ă  l’aube, au couteau, Ă  l’AK. Nous serons tous pogromisĂ©s, kippa ou pas, pour le seul crime d’ĂȘtre des kafirs.
Je rĂ©sume lĂ  ce qui me semble ĂȘtre, plus ou moins explicitement, plus ou moins bruyamment, le mot d’ordre – ou plutĂŽt la “parole de panique” – qui s’installe sous nos latitudes. Et je joins quelques capsules mnĂ©siques liĂ©es Ă  ces Ă©vĂ©nements :
‱ Il est navrant le spectacle de cette aube automnale si belle qui dĂ©voile le dĂ©filĂ© des assassins Ă  moto, bouchers amateurs partis massacrer des familles endormies. Éternel recommencement de l’insupportable injustice frappant les populations prises Ă  parti, flinguĂ©es, Ă©tripĂ©es, Ă©gorgĂ©es – cadavres et scĂšnes de crimes arrangĂ©s Ă  des fins de terrorisme par l’image. “Allah u-akbar”, comme toujours, ici ou lĂ -bas. Tout  a Ă©tĂ© filmĂ©, par les camĂ©ras d’inutile surveillance des victimes et les go-pros des instigateurs. Tout a Ă©tĂ© montrĂ©. ‱ ScĂšnes Ă  peine croyables – je dis bien “à peine croyables” – des commandos palestiniens faisant dĂ©tonner des explosifs contre des murs en bĂ©ton et des rideaux de barbelĂ©s pour pĂ©nĂ©trer des pĂ©rimĂštres de sĂ©curitĂ© placĂ©s sous surveillance automatique 24/7. Les drones qui ont larguĂ© leurs charges explosives au-dessus des relais de communication et autre appareil de dĂ©tection, volent sans ambage d’un pylĂŽne Ă  l’autre. Pouvait-on ĂȘtre plus prĂ©visible ? Des ailes volantes motorisĂ©es sillonent le ciel, ouvrant le feu sur tout ce qui court en dessous. Pouvait-on ĂȘtre moins discret ? Et pourtant, la petite base armĂ©e prise d’assaut regorge de cadavres en slip, tirĂ©s du lit dans la panique, la plupart n’ayant mĂȘme pas eu le loisir de dĂ©fendre leur peau face aux assaillants brailleurs.
‱ Grand rassemblement dĂ©cadent, scĂšnes et chapiteaux. Les fumeurs de oinjes, les raveurs, les filles et fils de bobos, les zoneurs Ă  dreadlocks et leurs meufs Ă  cheveux bleus fuient dans le dĂ©sert pour Ă©chapper au flinguage venu du ciel. Grand Bataclan Ă  ciel ouvert. On a tous rĂȘvĂ© de dĂ©barquer dans une rave en Hummer pour remettre un peu d’ordre. Mais lĂ , je vois courir tous ces hĂ©bĂ©tĂ©s et je pense aux parents qui, dans quelques heures, recevront qui un coup de tĂ©lĂ©phone, qui la visite d’amis ou d’officiels venus leur annoncer ce qu’aucun parent, jamais, ne devrait ĂȘtre contraint d’entendre.
‱ Un prof a Ă©tĂ© Ă©gorgĂ© dans un lycĂ©e français, le deuxiĂšme et certainement pas le second. HĂ©ros, hommage, hugs. Les trois “H” du cancre Ă©lysĂ©en. À la lumiĂšre des “massacres du Hamas”, de nombreux chroniqueurs ne peuvent s’en empĂȘcher : mais combien sont-ils chez nous, nous les braves et pacifiques Français, Ă  attendre le grand soir et son fameux croissant de lune ?
‱ Prendre parti. Ceux qui dĂ©plorent les Palestiniens Ă©crasĂ©s sous leurs immeubles Ă  coups de bombes sont d’infects islamo-collabos. Les chroniqueurs, chefs de plateau et autres inutiles s’agitent bruyamment, distribuent des bons points et offrent Ă  qui en veut une tournĂ©e de moraline. Ça va de “j’ai d’excellents amis Juifs” Ă  “et la Shoah alors, vous en faites quoi ?”. PathĂ©tiques agitations, pitoyables guignolades.
‱ Je n’entends quasiment personne rappeler ce qu’était encore la diplomatie française d’aprĂšs guerre. Ce que nous avions perdu en puissance militaire, nous pouvions encore le compenser en influence. Le refus d’ĂȘtre infĂ©odĂ©, comme l’obsession de la souverainetĂ©, allait favoriser l’émergence d’une autre voie – le non-alignement –, unique chemin vers la prĂ©servation d’une forme d’indĂ©pendance gĂ©opolitique dans un monde violemment bi-polaire. L’exceptionnel domaine ultra-marin de la France lui confĂ©rait alors une dimension internationale quasi naturelle, prĂ©servĂ©e des affres d’une dĂ©colonisation dramatique. Que reste-t-il de tout cela ? Rien. Absolument rien. La France a perdu partout, elle qui est maintenant devenue une colonie du tiers-monde, le champ d’expĂ©rimentation europĂ©en du globalisme assassin.
‱ Pathos, pathos, pathos ! J’ai du pathos Ă  pas cher, en voulez-vous ? L’heure est donc Ă  l’effroi et Ă  l’indignation. IdĂ©al pour nous rappeler que le peuple juif est un peuple hĂ©roĂŻque. LĂ©gĂšrement dominateur – comme nous le rappelait le grand Charles – mais courageux, combattif, rĂ©solu. IdĂ©al aussi pour dĂ©shumaniser le Palestinien de base et fermer les yeux sur les tonnes de bombes balancĂ©es sur des gens qui rĂȘvaient sans doute d’égorger des Juifs mais qui, Ă©tant donnĂ© leur condition physique nouvelle, n’auront pas le temps de passer Ă  l’acte. Je sais, je fais du mauvais esprit. PrĂ©cisĂ©ment. Ce qui est triste, lĂ -dessous, c’est le cautionnement inconditionnel de la scĂ©narisation tous azimuts. Ces gens-lĂ , Monsieur, n’ont honte de rien. Ceux qui montrent avec le regard fixe, la mĂąchoire d’acier, le geste calme, et ceux qui regardent, le teint livide, la bouche ouverte, l’Ɠil mouillĂ© et la gorge nouĂ©e. Images de salle Ă  manger transformĂ©e en abattoir, de jardinet jonchĂ© de tripaille, de trainĂ©es de sang chaud dans les couloirs. Ça change des parents gris qui beuglent comme des bougres avec le cadavre tout cendrĂ© de leur mĂŽme de quatre ans et demi dans les bras. “Oui, mais en mĂȘme temps, il y a les agresseurs et les agressĂ©s, hein, non ?”. Et dire qu’ils sont payĂ©s pour oser profĂ©rer de telles ignominies.
‱ François Cevert est mort le 6 octobre 1973 sur le circuit de Watkins Glen. C’était le jour du commencement de la guerre du Kippour. Un demi-siĂšcle plus tard, alors que je raconte Ă  qui veut bien m’écouter la carriĂšre fulgurante et la mort tragique de celui qui fut mon idole, le Hamas fourbit ses armes pour son attaque du 7 octobre. CoĂŻncidence ? Je crois bien, oui.

What do you think about the Leicester Alliance? Despite the instability regarding the Riegan house and their heir it seems to me like it's the least fucked up of the three countries
Oh!
I wanted to make a more detailed reply but I don't think I'll have the time before forgetting it lol
But in general, the Alliance suffers from the FE franchise's lack of interest in what I previously called "merchant republics". Let it be Jugdral's Miletos or Magvel's Carcino, they just exist to be rolled over, sometimes they have "corrupt Nobles (tm)" and that's it.
Leicester seems to be in a similar position, even if, by virtue of being Claude's homeland it would be more developed, right?
Well, no, Claude talks more about Almyra and has stronger ties to that country, so whatever Leicester development or lore we could have is just, three supports here and there about "Corrupt Nobles (tm)", a land where wealth gains more and more importance (Marianne's dad became a member of the council bcs of this iirc?) and where old Houses keep on having an ancestral feud even if it dooms the Republic/Alliance (Gloucester wants to get rid of Riegan, and sacrifices Raph's parents in the process?).
So with the minimum world building we have about the Alliance, I wouldn't say it's the least fucked up, rather it's the less developed, so by extension they feel like they're in a better state than the Kingdom - heavily developed - and Adrestia - which is kind of in a similar boat as the Alliance, but since the content focuses on Enbarr and the War afterwards, it's swept up.
But for what we know,
The Roundtable, before Nopes, was made up of 5 great families and minor nobles, while not sitting, could have their voices heard or at least taken into consideration (as opposed to Clout's Federation).
The Alliance apparently heavily dislike having a central authority or a powerful person ruling over them all... But only 3 minor lords riot when "we bow to no Emperor and to no King" is farted upon by King Clout of the Federation...
Lorenz tells us faith is performative in the Alliance, but some people are devout believers, which leads to no one giving a fuck, in Nopes, about their country going for the kill against the Archbishop.
And more importantly...
In the Alliance, through Raphael and Ignatz, we learn there is a "bourgeoisie" class, people who aren't born nobles or anobled and yet who manage to thrive and, if not for Gloucester Sr's gambit, live quite well, despite the "Crust system!!!!" the scripts hammer.
Leonie is a commoner and is in debt (tfw rl catches up to you in a vg!). Her village pays taxes to their Lord (Gloucester) and in exchange this Lord offers them protection (by hiring Jerry) against poachers - which is both textbook Noblesse Oblige hardbaked in Lorenz's character, but also, some kind of weird example of a system based on feodality - vassal offers an "hommage" to his Lord (here taxes) and in return the Lord protects his vassal - with the twist that Leonie's dad isn't a knight or a feudal vassal (afaik?).
Also, from the unused trading post data, Riegan should have been famous for its factories?
In a way, it feels like Leicester's organisation could have been something very interesting to explore - it's completely at odds with the Empire and the Kingdom and much more fragmented - but as usual, the FE series don't really develop those "kingless" factions...
And of course, they couldn't develop the "merchant nation" more else the "Church BaD bcs IsOlAtIoNiSm" falls apart or the "Crust SyStEm" argument as to why Supreme Leader has to change the world falls too, Edmund sr is at the roundtable despite having no crest, the Ordelias never were at this roundtable despite having a crest (iirc?), Judith is a Hero of Leicester and has no Crust, Holst is beloved by the world and has no Crust, despite having no Crust Ignatz's parents are implied to be rich as fuck and living the best life, crustless!Leonie and her entire village are helped by the "nobility system" Supreme Leader vowed to erase, etc etc.
Acknowledging Leicester's existence as something more than "that place Clout and some people hail from" blows so many holes in the leitmotiv of the war - thus the twist "you should feel bad for fighting your former student" - that the writers, imo, prefered not to shed any light no it (+ the context with merchant republics!) that it's no surprising the few crumbs we have aren't developped.
And before Nopes, the Alliance was the only slither free place, so all the "bad stuff" that happened, like Raph's parents, can be blamed on regular people and not "they were brainwashed!!". Ordelia's a different situation, I know a lot of people support the "Lys got her present because crust system", but I always have doubts - Lys got her "present" because Adrestia (Ionius) believed they could infringe on Leicester's territory, and the Agarthans needed to test their "present making" before gifting one to the Hresvelgs.
With Nopes, the Alliance disappears under a King with no fanfare, some people follow Clout, they dgaf about the Church, and that's it. It's just a blank cardbox, removed of the few crumbs that made it different from the other cardboxes.

(Charlemagne) Be brave, Sire, your first speech is live and cannot be postponed. We are all counting on you. (Napoléon V) Must I really stick to the text? (Charlemagne) I fear so, Your Imperial Majesty
Tumblr media
(Charlemagne) I know your views on the order of succession to the imperial throne, Your Majesty, but every battle must have its favourable conditions to be fought. You will soon learn that being Emperor is not about doing what you want, when you want (Napoléon V) But it's a fact: I'm the Emperor! And your discourse insuppresses me!
Tumblr media
(Charlemagne) I am not your enemy, Sire, and this is not "my discourse". I will help you in all your choices, but for that you must learn the monarch's trade. Your sister, His Imperial Highness, has no place in the succession, for the moment. (Napoléon V) But
 (Charlemagne) All your words and thoughts must turn to His Majesty Napoléon IV your father, and the continuity of the institutions according to the imperial laws. We will talk about Madame later. (Napoléon V) Very well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The official speech starts at 7pm, on all French TV channels.
(Napoléon V) Ladies and gentlemen, dear French people, I must thank each and every one of you who, for the past few days, have been paying tribute to my beloved father. The Emperor was devoted body and soul to his mission, to serve the French, at the price of many sacrifices

Tumblr media
(Napoléon V) 
 Today, I do not conceal all the fearsome aspects of accepting to put Napoléon's crown on my head 

Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Napoléon V) 
 But these apprehensions are diminished by the thought that, like my dear father before me, your love and trust pervades me, and therefore I declare before you all that I will henceforth devote my whole life to your service with loyalty and devotion. And that this service will last as long as I deserve the approval of the Great Nation

Tumblr media
(Napoléon V) 
 My heart is at peace knowing that the spirit of my beloved father is with me, that his thought will guide me every day, that his shadow protects me. With the help of my uncle and heir, Imperial Prince Henri, I know that we will meet the challenges that await Francesim. My constant preoccupation will be, for ever and with all my heart, God helping, the greatness and prosperity of Francesim. Thank you for your support.

(Charlemagne) Soyez brave, Sire, votre premiĂšre allocution est en direct et ne peut ĂȘtre repoussĂ©e ultĂ©rieurement. Nous comptons tous sur vous. (NapolĂ©on V) Dois-je rĂ©ellement m'en tenir au texte ? (Charlemagne) Je le crains Votre MajestĂ©
(Charlemagne) Je connais vos opinions concernant l'ordre de succession au trĂŽne impĂ©rial, Votre MajestĂ©, mais chaque combat doit avoir ses conditions favorables pour ĂȘtre menĂ©. Vous apprendrez vite qu'ĂȘtre Empereur ce n'est pas faire ce que l'on veut, quand on veut (NapolĂ©on V) Mais c'est un fait : je suis l'Empereur ! Et votre discours m'insupporte !
(Charlemagne) Je ne suis pas votre ennemi, Sire, et ce n'est pas "mon discours". Je vous aiderai dans tous vos choix, mais pour cela vous devez apprendre le métier. Votre soeur, Son Altesse Impériale, n'a pas sa place dans la succession, pour le moment. (Napoléon V) Mais... (Charlemagne) Tous vos mots et pensées doivent se tourner vers feu Sa Majesté Napoléon IV votre pÚre, et la continuité des institutions selon les lois impériales. Nous reparlerons de Madame plus tard. (Napoléon V) TrÚs bien.
L'allocution officielle débute à 19 heures, sur toutes les chaßnes de télévision françaises.
(Napoléon V) Messieurs dames, chers français, je dois remercier chacun d'entre vous qui, depuis ces derniers jours, rendent hommage à mon pÚre adoré. L'Empereur était dévoué corps et ùme à sa mission, servir les français, au prix de nombreux sacrifices...
(NapolĂ©on V) ... Aujourd'hui, je ne dissimule pas tout ce qu'il y a de redoutable Ă  accepter de mettre sur ma tĂȘte la couronne de NapolĂ©on...
(Napoléon V) ... Mais ces appréhensions diminuent par la pensée que tout comme mon cher pÚre avant moi, votre amour et votre confiance me pénÚtre, et c'est pourquoi je déclare devant vous tous je consacrerai désormais ma vie entiÚre à votre service avec loyauté et dévouement. Et que ce service durera tant que je mérite l'approbation de la Grande Nation...
(Napoléon V) ... Mon coeur est en paix en sachant que l'esprit de mon pÚre bien-aimé est avec moi, que sa pensée me guidera chaque jour, que son ombre me protÚge. Avec l'aide de mon oncle et héritier, le prince impérial Henri, je sais que nous saurons relever les défis qui attendent la Francesim. Ma préoccupation constante sera, pour toujours et de tout mon coeur, Dieu aidant, la grandeur et la prospérité de la Francesim. Merci pour votre support.

Plus qu'assez de l'alibi des hommages nationaux !
Le 22 mai, le prĂ©sident de la RĂ©publique rendra dans la prison de Caen un hommage national aux deux surveillants pĂ©nitentiaires assassinĂ©s (finalement Gabriel Attal remplacera le prĂ©sident parti en urgence pour la Nouvelle-CalĂ©donie). Les Français “ne font pas confiance Ă  l’exĂ©cutif pour contrer l’insĂ©curitĂ© (
) et aprĂšs le braquage sanglant du fourgon pĂ©nitentiaire dans l’Eure, la sĂ©curitĂ© se

Jour 18 - Washington DC
DĂ©part assez peu matinal ce matin (ce n'est pas faute d'avoir secouĂ© Antoine...🙄), direction le centre de Washington.
Nous sommes arrivĂ©s sur le National Mall, un long parc entourĂ© de musĂ©es entre le Capitole et le Washington Monument, obĂ©lisque qui fut le monument le plus haut du monde Ă  son inauguration en 1884 (en hommage au prĂ©sident du mĂȘme nom) avant d'ĂȘtre dĂ©passĂ© par la Tour Eiffel cinq ans plus tard.
Tumblr media
Nous avons commencé par le Musée National de l'Histoire Américaine, plutÎt intéressant et trÚs riche sur un grand nombre de sujet : l'industrie automobile, la cuisine, la musique, le sport...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Petite pause au McDo car notre plan A Ă©tait fermĂ©, notre plan B introuvable et parce que nous avions un code promo đŸ€Ł et nous repartons en direction du MusĂ©e de l'Air et de l'Espace.
À Washington, tous les musĂ©es sont gratuits mais il fallait rĂ©server pour celui-ci (le plus populaire), ce que nous avons fait 5minutes avant vu qu'il n'y a personne dans la ville si ce n'est quelques travailleurs !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Antoine est prĂȘt Ă  partir sur la Lune 🌖
Tumblr media
En ressortant, nous sommes passĂ©s par le jardin botanique puis nous nous sommes rendus devant le Capitole qui a une partie en rĂ©novation. C'est le moment qu'a choisi mon appareil photo pour ne plus reconnaĂźtre ma carte SD... donc ne plus prendre de photos đŸ«  (j'ai trĂšs envie de pleurer)

Mercredi 14 février 2024.
Paris, place VendĂŽme. Hommage national Ă  Robert Badinter.
Lorsque l'image du cercueil de Robert Badinter, porté par la garde républicaine, est apparue sur l'écran géant situé au milieu de la place, les applaudissements de la foule ont retenti trÚs fort. TrÚs fort. Et à plusieurs occasions. J'ai aussi applaudi, trÚs ému.
"Robert Badinter, conscience morale que rien n'efface", dit le Président dans son long discours. 
Et maintenant, oĂč sont-elles les consciences morales?
