#Jean-Claude Gabriel

[cyniibar]

Do you like my more wholesome version of the Sanson ?

Also, what do you think of the father-daughter parallels between Jean-Baptiste and Marie ? Also, do you have ideas for Madeleine-Claude Gabrielle?

About Madeleine-Claude...

out of all the Sansons, she's the most gentle and empathetic. Madeleine-Claude is genuinely tender hearted towards her younger siblings and holds deep respect for her kind step-mother (As she is the closest to Jeanne, following her footsteps to become the future 'perfect wife'). On the other hand, she's very passive and the most introverted in the household.

One thing that I'm absolutely certain of, is Madeleine-Claude being a heavy dreamer. She spends her days getting caught up in her fantasies and daydreams even while she occupies herself with daily activities. Tends to see things in an unconventional perspective. She has the softest voice, very soothing and pleasant to the ears. Though she also has a peculiar way of speaking, bringing up strange or random topics that leave some members a bit puzzled.

Madeleine doesn't hate Jeanne, but she strongly believes that no one can ever replace her mother. Her memories of Madeleine Tronson are very vague, so she fills the void by imagining her. How she felt, how she looked, her scent, and her voice....

A very sentimental and nostalgic young girl, yearning to be a child again in her mother's arms. She desires to be care free. Instead she's very insecure about her appearance, despite being a beautiful maiden, as she deals with extreme verbal abuse from Anne Marthe- insulting her of her looks and mocking her image. Because of this, her self-criticism is brutal and she had developed a hate for mirrors.

The only bond Madeleine-Claude has with her father, is when they share their aching longing for Madeleine Tronson.

Jean Baptiste looked exactly like Marie Joseph when he was just a young boy so I guess that's enough parallel as it is.

. Did you feel an immense tenderness for it all… for the grass, the water, the trees? A vague sort of yearning. It starts here, then it rises. It almost makes me want to cry.

“You requested for me, father?” (Madeleine)

With glassy eyes, he took a look at his daughter, nervously standing at the door. "Yes. Come on in, Claude."

He allowed her to enter his study. He had to say it to her.

"We had to arrange your marriage to Pierre Hérisson. It's your hand against the family post. It would be this January. Until then, I would ask of you to assist at dissections. This might create trouble with your grandmother, it would probably be wiser for you to learn how to extract human fat before getting married. He's quite poorer, and thus he would need someone who could help him with that task. As much as I dislike going against my mother's wishes, blind obedience would certainly not help."

he was smitten back when he saw Crowley in Rome and burst into a smile and he was smitten when he refused to give Crowley the holy water because he wouldn't lose Crowley and he was smitten when Crowley handed him the books and he was smitten when THEY KISSED AND HE WAS STILL SMITTEN WHEN HE HAD TO GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IN HUMANITY STILL AND HE'S GOING TO FIGHT FOR THE WORLD THAT THEY BOTH LOVE AND THAT THEY TOASTED TO BACK IN SEASON ONE BECAUSE IF HE'S IN CHARGE HE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE HE KNOWS HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HE KNOWS IT'S A LONG SHOT BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ANGEL STOP TRYING OR STOP BELIEVING IN THE THINGS THAT MATTER

god there's so much i missed in all the chaos of when i watched it first like for fuck's sake aziraphale's response to the arrangement? not that he would be in danger, but that hell would destroy Crowley.

aziraphale is SUCH A LITTLE BITCH DON'T GET ME WRONG IT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HIM, HIS PRISSY MANICURED HANDS AND HIS CASUALLY STROLLING OFF TO LET JEAN-CLAUDE GET GUILLOTINED AND HIS STANDARDS, HE'S A LITTLE SHIT AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT, BUT ALSO HE'S FILLED WITH SO MUCH LOVE JUST LIKE CROWLEY IS AND I KNOW I'VE ALWAYS YELLED ABOUT CROWLEY BUT IT'S HIGH TIME I YELLED ABOUT AZIRAPHALE TOO

god they're both filled with so much love Aziraphale refused to turn Gabriel away from the bookshop and took him in. Crowley, knowing everything that she does about Gabriel, still saw that Gabriel was distressed and offered them hot chocolate. there's so much LOVE NOT JUST FOR EACH OTHER BUT IN GENERAL THEY'RE JUST SUCH. IDIOTS. AND SO FULL OF HEART. AND SO INCOMPETENT. AND SO IN LOVE.

NO I AM FINE I AM TOTALLY NORMAL ANF FUCKING FINE IT'S OKAY I'CM OKAY GO AWAY DON'T LOOK AT ME

Ok, I am the only one who became obsessed with Pelléas and Mélisande after listening to this?

For context: "Pelléas and Mélisande (French: Pelléas et Mélisande) is a Symbolist play by the Belgian playwright and author Maurice Maeterlinck. It's about the forbidden, doomed love of the title characters and was first performed in 1893.

The work never achieved great success on stage, apart from operatic setting by Claude Debussy, but was at the time widely read and admired by the symbolist literary elite, such as Strindberg and Rilke. It inspired other contemporary composers, like Gabriel Fauré, Arnold Schoenberg, Jean Sibelius, and Mel Bonis.

Synopsis: Golaud finds Mélisande by a stream in the woods. She has lost her crown in the water but does not wish to retrieve it. They marry, and she instantly wins the favor of Arkël, Golaud's grandfather and king of Allemonde, who is ill. She begins to be drawn to Pelléas, Golaud's brother. They meet by the fountain, where Mélisande loses her wedding ring. Golaud grows suspicious of the lovers, has his son Yniold spy on them, and discovers them caressing, whereupon he kills Pelléas and wounds Mélisande. She later dies after giving birth to an abnormally small girl. Source: Wikipedia.

A very interesting aspect is that it is a Symbolist play adapted numerous time, but especially by Debussy as an opera, that I'm sure Lestat has **convinced** Louis to watch 😄

Also on Wikipedia: "A brief summary of the play will concentrate best on Mélisande. At the beginning of the play she has just escaped from a failed marriage that has so traumatized her that she scarcely remembers either it or her past. She marries Golaud with no choice of her own, and remains essentially distant from him. The audience realize she is falling in love with Pelléas long before she does. On her deathbed she has quite forgotten her final meeting with Pelléas and his death, and dies without realizing that she is dying. This and the whole play—for none of the other characters are wiser—expresses a sense that human beings understand neither themselves nor each other nor the world. The problem is not simply human blindness, but the lack of a fixed and definable reality to be known. This is the Maeterlinck who paved the way for the plays of Samuel Beckett.

A key element in the play is the setting, whether visible in the stage scenery or described in the dialogue. The action takes place in an ancient, decaying castle, surrounded by deep forest, which only occasionally lets sunlight in, and with caverns underneath it that breathe infected air and are in danger of collapse. As numerous critics have pointed out, all this symbolizes the dominating power throughout the action of a destiny fatal to mankind. "

I just love how specific this is, how appropriate and how evocative the whole story is of Louis and Lestat, and I love how Louis does remember it and includes it in his Dreamstat version of it in Paris 🙈

[napoleonic-sexyman-tournament]

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

Read your Childhood AU for Izuku growing in Paris...so add this as a bonus:

...Izuku getting the ladybug miraculous and Chloe getting the cat

//...*smirks* Nonnie, you have intrigued me with creative determination. And took time to draw this up for you~

*cracks knuckles and stretches back and arms* With that out of the way, I think this would be a VERY interesting concept. Only because if this is ONE of the paths Izuku goes on in the Childhood Friends AU, then perhaps it would play out like this:

If we're going back to Origins this time around...but with Izuku and Chloe instead of Marinette and Adrien...well...

That would mean Emilie is gone by this time (remember in Childhood Friends AU part one, Emilie was still alive when Izuku first moved to Paris. So it would be *count fingers* probably maybe nine years? Almost a decade would've passed. Let's assume a year before the beginning of the last year of collège, Emilie mysteriously vanished. Thus enters Hawkmoth.

BUT WAIT~!

We could maybe change that up a bit~

For example, considering we have Chat Noir!Chloe this time around, what if Hawkmoth was...I dunno...Audrey?

"But Riri, how?! Audrey is in New York at this time?!"

But that's the beauty of it~

People would think that Audrey is in New York, there is no possible way that The Queen of Style would be Hawkmoth.

"But what purpose would Audrey have the Miraculous?"

With Emilie alive, Gabriel wouldn't have use for the Miraculous.

This means that Tomoe Tsurugi might have to change targets.

And who better than a fellow woman in the rich and powerful?

Audrey would be perfect for the role considering that she is 1) Someone familiar in the "Cult of the Wealthy" if we've seen in the episode Gabriel Agreste , and 2) She is someone who also is an ambitious individual that might have goals in getting a wish.

What Audrey's wish might be, who knows?

So, in turn, Audrey is given the Butterfly Miraculous and is soon named: Queen Butterfly.

With that in mind, Audrey tries out her powers as Queen Butterfly.

Meanwhile, in Collège Françoise Dupont, a new school year has jut begun and Izuku is surprisingly in a different class than Marinette and Adrien.

Instead of being in Bustier's class, he ended up in the class of the infamous and strict Science Teacher, Olga Mendeleiev.

This caused Chloe to switch herself over to that class too.

And so, while on the way to school, Izuku spotted an old man trying to cross the road.

Naturally being the good boy he was, he helped him cross and even carried his bag for him.

"Thank you, young man. How may I ever repay you?"

Izuku assures the old man that no payment is necessary and soon waves goodbye before heading into school.

A smile was on the old man's face, straightening his posture as he walked away, satisfied and intrigued.

A few minutes later, Chloe was running late. Curses for her alarms not waking her up or Jean Claude not doing his job. Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!

And before she got out the car, she spotted an old man on the ground, groaning in pain.

Normally, Chloe would ignore the hermit of a geezer and go on her way.

But she then paused, strangely hearing a voice of Inko Midoriya in her head saying in a soft tone:

"Have a nice day, Chloe-chan! And remember, a kindness given, will receive kindness back~"

Groaning, Chloe reluctantly helped the old man up, and asked if he was okay. Even clicking her fingers to order her driver to take the man to the nearest clinic to help him.

As she stormed away to school, and the old man was driven to some local doctor...a voice spoke inside of the man's shirt once he was alone.

"Master...I don't think she'd be a good candicate."

The man would smile, stroking at his goatee, "Who knows? Sometimes the most unlikely people have the greatest destinies."

With being in a different class, Izuku was no longer Kim's target of bullying...but that means someone else became the target.

Ivan still turns into Stoneheart after being teased by Kim.

Izuku springs into action. While he doesn't have a quirk, it didn't mean he was going to stay still! All Might would do the same!

He rushed out the doors of the school, only to be knocked down by a girl with reddish brown hair and glasses as she ran past him.

Marinette spots him, and helps him up.

"I should follow after Alya. She's new in Paris and I don't want her to get into trouble on her first day here!"

"I'll go with you."

The two soon follow after Alya, but soon were captured by the police and escorted back to their homes to be safe.

Chloe, meanwhile, was already home when she saw something shining on her vanity desk.

At the same time, Izuku was in his own room when he saw the strange looking jewellery box.

"What's that doing here?"

The two of them open it at the same time.

When Chloe first saw Plagg, she immediately screamed and started throwing stuff at him while yelling "EWWWW SOME FLYING RAT IS IN MY ROOM!"

"I'm not a flying rat. That's Mullo. And I'm hungry!"

Meanwhile, Izuku was much calmer when faced to face with Tikki.

"So...lemme get this straight...you're a Kwami, a being that has powers to give me and become a superhero?"

Tikki would smile in pride, "That is correct!"

"....Alright, tell me what I should do, Tikki-san."

Tikki is ecstatic when explaining about the Miraculous and his role as the new Ladybug holder, even though it is a first in centuries to have a male as a holder. But she liked him because of how courageous and kind he was.

"Tikki-san, Spots On!"

Thus, Izuku transforms into Tīrumushi (literally translate into Teal Bug in Japanese)

Meanwhile, it took a few more minutes for Chloe to calm down, and Plagg was feeling a headache come on.

"So...I can turn into a hero with this tacky ring?"

"It's not tacky, and yes. All you have to say is Plagg, Claws Out! to transform and then--"

"PLAGG! CLAWS OUT!"

"Wait, hold on ya brat, Ineedtoexplaaaaaaaaain---!!!"

Thus, Chloe Bourgeois turns into Féline Noire.

With being instructed by Tikki on how to use his abilities as a Ladybug Hero, Tīrumushi easily found Stoneheart and mentally started strategising on how to defeat the Akuma.

"Although...did Tikki-san not say that I would have a partner?"

As if on cue, Féline Noire rushed into the scene and kept whacking the monster like villain with her bo-staff.

"AHHHH! MISS! YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT--"

But it was too late, as Stoneheart started to grow bigger with each hit that the cat heroine inflicted.

Looking frustrated, Tīrumushi used his yo-yo to grab at Féline Noire and pulled her away from the akuma and scolded her.

"Are you out of your mind?!" The Ladybug hero chided at the bored looking feline heroine, as he untied her and folded his arms, "Now the villain is going to be even harder to defeat now!"

This caused the blonde cat to roll her eyes as she scoffed, "Well, how else were we supposed to defeat this creep, huh? Hold hands and sing kum-ba-ya to it?" She said sarcastically.

"...Unbelievable. And you're supposed to be my partner?!"

"Partner?" Féline Noire looked him up and down for a moment then snorted, "Dressed like that? Surely not. Besides, I don't work with weirdos that don't have a fashion bone in their body.

Tīrumushi smacked a hand over his masked face as he groaned, rolling his eyes upwards, as if wondering to Kami-sama on how this girl has gotten a powerful object like the Miraculous of the Cat?

Remembering how All Might had many partners in his career, Tīrumushi realizes that if they were going to defeat Stoneheart...

"We're going to have to work together--"

"No thanks."

Tīrumushi's jaws dropped, "Excuse me?"

"Listen here, Mister Spots, and listen good."

"My name is Tīrumushi--"

"I don't care what sushi you are--"

Tīrumushi breathed in quietly to reign in his temper...which is a first.

"The name is Féline Noire~ Remember that after I defeat the monster and save the day~"

"W-wait, Féline Noire, you can't just--" And the male hero sighed as he watched her pole-vault away and after Stoneheart, "...Looks like I'm going to have to think of a plan and fast."

With that said, Tīrumushi swung his yo-yo and swung after them.

It was like she forgot his warning, because soon Féline Noire kept on attacking Stoneheart once more.

When Tīrumushi arrives in the football stadium where they were, he observed them at first.

But then his eyes widened when he saw that Alya and Marinette was there also, Alya filming the whole thing and Marinette looking nervous and worried.

When Stoneheart picked up a goat post and net to throw at Féline Noire, who dodged easily and---

It felt like the world was going in slow motion.

Seeing his childhood friend in danger. Marinette was in danger.

'What am I doing? Why am I running? Why can't I stop?'

"LUCKY CHARM!"

Tīrumushi activated his powers and soon grabbed the object that appeared before him, and it was like his body moved first before his brain. He didn't know why he just suddenly started to remember his past...before he came to Paris.

"Do you think...I could...be a hero, too?"

It was a question that he would ask himself at the time. Despite not having a quirk, could he live to be a hero like All Might?

No.

Memories of his book of heroes, notes he wrote himself on each person of their strengths, weaknesses...devising plan after plan of scenarios against villains of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds...

"I can be a hero now."

Tīrumushi kicked the goal post away from the girls, watching it fly to the side and landed in front of them heroically. Alya's eyes shined in amazement while Marinette looked in wonderment.

"Are you girls okay?" The hero would ask, looking over them in concern.

Alya squealed, but then her eyes widened and pointed behind him.

"BUG BOY, LOOK OUT!"

The Ladybug hero then turned around easily as he soon rushed at the monster, holding his Lucky Charm as he then picked up a hose and held it close, and had a big smile on his face. Like All Might would. To assure the citizens he could save them with a smile.

"COME AND GET ME, VILLAIN!"

Stoneheart roared, already having captured Féline Noire and now held her in his rock-like fist, and was now making a grab for Tīrumushi next. Smirking, he let himself be captured, and then turned his head to look at Marinette.

"MISS! TURN ON THE HOSE!"

Marinette snapped out of her daze as she rushed towards the faucet that connected the hose nearby, frantically turning on the water as she watched how Stoneheart's fist opened thanks to the object of Tīrumushi's (which seemed to be some sort of diver's suit) being filled with water.

Tīrumushi spotted a dark glowing ball of paper on the ground and soon picked it up, and broke it. He saw the butterfly fluttering away, and he narrowed his eyes as he twisted his yo-yo and reached to capture it.

"No more evil doing for you, little akuma!"

He caught it, purified it as Tikki had told him, and released it.

Tīrumushi smiled as he watched the white butterfly float away happily, and waved at it.

"Bye bye, little butterfly..."

Looking towards Stoneheart, he watched as the stones crumbled away and Ivan was back to normal. Quickly with fast reflexes, Tīrumushi caught Féline Noire in his arms after she was released, then looked down at the feline heroine with a small smile.

"Well, well...what was it you said about you saving the day~?"

He was expecting some sort of back talk from the cat, but he was surprised she was quiet. The green haired hero looked down at her and saw she was staring at him strangely, mouth parted and eyes were...were they sparkling?

"Wow..." She would murmur, Tīrumushi slowly placed her down and she then flustered for a moment, "That...you did...wow..."

"You said wow, twice."

A bright smile was featured on his face, while Féline Noire looked embarrassed and huffed.

"You did exceptionally. And I...I was totally useless..."

"Well, maybe next time you'd listen to me and we could've worked together like a team," He then offered a fist bump out to her, and softened his gaze towards her, "Hopefully we won't be seeing anymore villains like that Stoneheart fellow, anytime soon. But if we do? We'll be ready, together. Okay?"

Féline Noire looked at the offered fist, then had a small smile before she connected her own towards his.

"Pound it."

Needless to say, Tīrumushi and Féline Noire thought that this was a start of something amazing.

Alya rushed towards them to get an interview, but with Tīrumushi's earrings beeping, he knew he had to go before he transform.

So, he escaped, and left Féline Noire to deal with the reporter.

Who, in turn, made the TealBlog.

Marinette, on that day, felt her heart skip a beat at the hero.

"Wow...he really was...Miraculous."

Thinking about the Greek mythology themes you've noted already... Possible Orpheus-and-Eurydice nods for S3? (Thinking about the first bit of the S2 opening, with the Ineffables in the tunnel)

Ooh, interesting thought! That seems possible, in a very general kind of way. The story is playing pretty fast and loose with its Greek myth nods (thankfully because most Greek myths are bananas lol.) I love the idea of everyone going to Hell after Aziraphale. Aziraphale can hold his own but everyone does need help sometimes and this might be a case where he does need a hand. Plus, it'd be fun to have Gabriel and Crowley working together. No idea if the rescue is where they'd take the story but we'll have to see. The main characters kind of do need to reconnect again pretty quickly so it does seem like a possible way forward?

I also have been thinking about which bits of S1 aren't mirrored yet in S2 and how they might fit into S3 continuing the rest of this last week of the end of the world, if that's where this is going, and one of the biggest is, to both my intrigue and horror... 1793.

I suppose it would be, right?

I'm of two minds-- the writer in me can definitely see why we wouldn't see the mirror of 1793 until we're on the other side of Aziraphale's fall but the part of me that loves these characters is just shuddering at the idea of a mirrored 1793... although, I do think it really likely that Gabriel is going to be helping Crowley with this rescue if it happens and that's sort of funny considering we'd be going from Crowley and Aziraphale mocking Gabriel in the Paris scene to Gabriel being the walking holy water Crowley takes with him to Hell to get to Aziraphale.

1793 was also kind of built to be evocative of Aziraphale in Hell. He's imprisoned, it's all dark, people are screaming... it's the closest thing to Hell on Earth that we've seen in the series. It's the only scene in which Aziraphale wears red and one of the only times he's in black-- and the only time he's fully in Crowley's colors, which are more Hell colors than Heaven ones. It's also arguably one of the most direct scenes that involves the Satan story so it winding up having foreshadowed part of the Aziraphale's fall storyline would work really well. Heh, what if we see Satan in his true form for the first time and he's being played by the guy who was Jean-Claude the Executioner? 😲

Let's just hope that it's not a completely dark mirror, though. We at least need the humor of Aziraphale not yet remembering Crowley but still reacting like oh hiiiiii yes you can rescue me! there must be something I can do for you in return, my lord? 😂
