Who are Camille's siblings? Do we know their names or anything about them?

In total, Camille’s parents Jean Benoît Nicolas Desmoulins and Marie Madeleine Godard had nine children, four of which died during childhood:

Lucie Simplice Camille Benoît (March 2 1760 — April 5 1794)

Henriette Aimery Angélique (21 February 1761 — 17 June 1770)

Marie Élisabeth Émilie Toussaint (November 1 1762 — December 20 1839)

Stillborn girl, buried at the day of her birth (January 15 1764)

Armand ”Dubocquoi” Jean Louis Domitille (May 5 1765 — 1793)

Anne Clotilde Pélagie Marie (June 20 1767 — ?)

Lazare ”Sémery” Nicolas Norbert Félicité (June 6 1769 — January 1811)

Clement Louis Nicolas (November 23 1770 — April 16 1778)

Charles Maximilien Yves Nicolas Reignier (June 17 1772, probably didn’t reach adult age)

We know Camille was the only one of the siblings that was given a higher education in Paris. Something we might find an explanation for in a letter to him dated January 23 1791 (cited in Hervé Leuwers’ Camille et Lucile Desmoulins: un rêve de république (2018)), where the father places his oldest son on a higher level than the rest of his children:

Your brother Dubocquoi has always had a rather limited peak, he has just acknowledged it to you; but it is not his fault. In the portion of nature and in the lot of the spirit, why have you exercised your birthright so copiously and taken such a great precipitate, to leave your siblings’ afferent share so small?

Camille expressed himself in similar terms in a letter to his father dated October 8 1789. I’m just gonna let this part of this hilarious comic by @theorahsart illustrate the passage:

Camille spending the majority of his time away from his family seems to have ended up in him not knowing his siblings all that well, as we in 1792 find a letter where his father has to tell him the name of his brothers as well as their occupations (cited in Camille Desmoulins, a biography (1909) by Violet Methley):

You ask me, my son, for the name of your brother, Du Bucquoy, as well as for that of Semery. The former is called Armand Jean Louis Domitille, who was born on May 5th, 1765. For the past seven years he has served in the late Royal Roussillon cavalry regiment, or the 11th Regiment of the Army of the Midi, and which I believe is either in the interior at Saumur or at Saint-Jean-d'Angely, for I have had no news of him for the last twelve months. The latter is named Lazare Nicolas Norbert Félicité, born on June 6th, 1769, and for the past two years in the loth Battalion of Chasseurs, late Gevaudan, with the Army of the North, in which he shows much zeal. He tells me in his last letter that he is a forlorn sentinel in a wood, and congratulates you on the birth of a son. As for me, I also am married. My wife is a musket, and I take greater care of her than of myself.

On February 8 1793 Lucile has written in her diary: ”C(amille’s) brother came. We had dinner at Madame Brune’s.” In a letter dated July 9 1793 Camille shares more details on his brothers, who by now are both serving in the revolutionary army. These parts got censored when the letter was published for the first time in 1836, and restored in Hervé Leuwers’ biography:

I have received unfortunate news of my brother, who has been lost to drunkenness and expelled from his regiment. I don't know if he wrote to you about his mishap. He has not dared to write to me about it, and he is right in not to. It is most unworthy that I should take an interest in him, and I am really angry that he has taken my name, which he has sullied in the army. Nevertheless, I had advised him to pour water into his wine. I don't know what has become of him since he was forced to resign as an officer. His conduct might have caused you grief under the old regime, but it is a duty that a family of republicans and good men consists of nothing but those who are republicans and good men. […] I am very sorry that Sémery was killed. I would have had no reason to be ashamed of him, and I would have procured for him a speedy promotion of which he proved himself worthy, for things are going well and will be better.

Soon thereafter, Camille does however find out the information regarding his youngest brother’s death is false, whereupon he writes a new letter to his father:

I am very sorry to have written to you that my brother Sémery would have died fighting for his homeland. I had no other certainty of a loss so grievous to you than the indication of his long silence, and I eagerly laid hold of your doubts of his death to fix my hopes upon them. May he be returned to you by the enemies into whose hands he may have fallen captive. I feel even more now, when I see my son, how sensitive this blow must have been to your heart.

Sémery had indeed not died in battle, but been captured at the siege of Maestricht. According to La jeunesse de Camille Desmoulins (1908) he was released after three years. In 1802 he was admitted to the 27th legion of gendarmerie on foot, and was serving in Piémont à la Chiesa as gendarme of the Stura company when he died by an accident in January 1811. The other brother, Dubucquoi, did however die in Vendée in 1793, I’ve not discovered on which date.

As for the two surviving sisters, we seemingly only know that they got married. According to geneanet, the eldest sister Marie Élisabeth Émilie Toussaint married one Théodore Morey in Guise, December 25 1793, while Anne Clotilde Pélagie Marie married Simon Isidore Lemoine in the same town on June 5 1794. Leuwers cites a document showing the two couples were still together by March 4 1797. He adds that both husbands were gendarmes and their wives left Guise to be with them at their posts. Somewhere after 1797 Marie Élisabeth Émilie Toussaint got remarried to one Théodore Lagrange before dying in Paris on December 20 1839, with one Antoine Nicolas Desmoulins as witness. When and where Anne Clotilde Pélagie Marie died I’ve not been able to discover.

I’m sure you get this question a lot, but do you have a favorite character? NPC or playable?

I didn't get this question yet actually! Kakania is my favorite among the playable characters since 1.7 version. For her morals and philosophy. Her care for her friends. Her skepticism and inquisitive nature. Her passion for her work, beliefs and moral code, and knowing where to draw the line. I've heard what she'll be like in combat gameplay. I plan to pull for her regardless if she breaks or saves my account (I'll likely will not be able to pull for Lucy). Hahahaha.

Honorable mentions: - X for his humor - Madame Z for her wit, kindness and resourcefulness - Charlie cause she's a theatre kid (I bought her collector's skin) - Horropedia cause he's a horror nerd, also his humor - 6 cause his character story is probably my favorite of all-time, super thought-provoking. Irl me would be a mix of Kakania and 6. Always deliberating and asking myself questions, whether i keep them to myself or be loud about it. But of course I will never be cool as them XD

My favorite NPC might be recency bias. It used to be Sophia because I see a bit of myself in her when she's having existential crisis. LOL. Right now, Hofmann is really stealing that spot for my favorite NPC. Name Day is coming in real close though. Not sure what it is about him that I'm drawn to. But he is very interesting to me. I also find it cute that he can't handle babysitting kids. AHAHAHAHAHA. I'm not even sure if he's just NPC or will-be playable. He certainly has a memorable name fitting for a playable character.

OH BUT I LOOOOOVE THE OLD WOMAN VOICE IN THE TRAIL LOGS. Idk who she is but I love her sass! I love her voice. I love her attitude. I do miss the guy voice though. I don't think I'd be able to choose between them. They both hold a special recognition and satisfaction from both of my ears.

And yeah, that's about it. Thank you for the really wonderful question, @p1x1e-dr3am. <3

Don't worry for the word "sir" 🌸🌸 its just in my langage its just Madam or Sir I suppose (there is an attempt for like they/them things but its very hard cause all my langage has two gender to it female or male and all the sentence is conjugated for be one or the other!)

[This is why in posts and notes I always talk about Lolicia as 'she' because its more easy, it comes more naturally]

Ahah you're so sweet Butler Kaledya, I thank you kindly for your delightful service *bow head with a quick smile* 🌸 Too Sweet, cover by Reinaeiry is so great ! I always think of Alastor when I hear this song of Hozier ! _

'Judy and Nick in Hell', the perfect say to Hürrem and Giovanni. By the way (my fun moment ship name ?!) :

- Hünni (so cute sound like honey) - Giovem ? - Foxbird 🤣 _

Oh the episodes are that long ? That is probably why I stop looking at it, cause I like good historical drama normally. _

Addolorata 'means "grieving" in Italian, from the title of the Virgin Mary, Maria Addolorata. It is most common in southern Italy. It is the equivalent of Spanish Dolores.' (behindthename site source)

That is why Val calls Addolorata 'dolores' ! Its the Spanish version of her name. _

Serenity has a all clan of Hellhounds to named, i think she has the right to not be always creative ! And yes Lucky is a bit too simple ? Or its like Lucky Luck. _

Oh, I'm so happy, I thought I missed something in the information about Paimon but its okay.

And yes you are in the logic, Luci could keep his natural "human" beauty less animalistic (in the au) and not be corrupted like the other angels because he is a Archangel.

Yes I saw a drawing you did (in a ref sheet for Charlie I believe) and a post explaining the blood type. Its interesting, tell me more !

For me it was - Gold blood for angels - Orange blood for nephilims (mixed angel/human, I think it is called)

In my head all the Hellborns (Aristocrats, Succubus, Imps, Hellhounds) have black/indigo blood ? Like ink. Yes.

And Sinners have like black blood mixed with red blood.

Red would be the color of corruption/evil whatever (because in SSAU Roo has red hair and her principal color is red, right?) And I was thinking, the more a Sinner take souls in contract and act more 'demon-like', the more red their blood. Perhaps even eyes can be found in the blood (in demon form)

Because for a demons to take souls his natural but for a formal human demon its corrupted even more and they become more 'monster' than themselves ?

For exemple : When Alastor and Lolicia make the alliance, we can see Alastor's blood being black and red.

And I think If I write Alastor's demon form and he gets hurt and bleed, we could see eyes pattern in the blood spilled ?

I think all Overlords could have that type of blood and the eyes make them 'heavier' and this is how they can measure their power before entering The Tournament (Overlords headquarters in my ff) but it can be only in AA ! Its whatever you want.

Tell me what you think ! _

And for Constantine arranging a marriage for Hürrem is what she wants (at the beginning) be part of the Goetia fully and be dedicated to the aristocracy, but perhaps the more time she passes time trying to find Lilith with Giovanni, the more she will be open to want something else ? (Especially her who is a HUGE romantic) But it's not sure at all, cause being part of the Goetia is her goal since forever, it will be difficult to change her dream and the sacrifices she is willing to make to make it happen.

So interesting ! Can you, if you want, tell me more about Elrond ? I know he is 18 and he is the twin brother of Octavia, right ? So the son of Stolas and Stella ?

I think he is adorable!

What does he think of his dad loving a Imp ? Does he lives in his dad or mother palace after the divorce ?

Will it find it rude of Constantine to propose him a future bride that is not fully Goetia (a quarter demon bunny) ?

What is his powers related to ? For exemple Stolas its the prophecies and stars.

His he gay ? Curious. That *slay* on the doodle just give me a hint ahah.

The Goetia are very tall in general. How tall is he ? Is he considered more classical pretty and Octavia more 'rebellious' on her style ?

I will stop. Stop me with the questions !

I didn't know for the 30 tags and the ':D' ! That is funny !

And yes I can imagine! *Giovanni and Hürrem in the car. Hürrem is driving and let her phone open on the side. Giovanni takes it discreetly and she doesn't see it.*

G *reading a random radioapple smut ff*: "The king let his hands carress the antlers of the Overlord and whispered in his ear thousand and thousand of years of depravity.."

*Hürrem almost make an accident, flushed, turn the head still driving and try to take her phone back.*

H : Giovanni ! Stop ! Give me my phone back ! G *laughing and moving the phone away continues to read* : "they're in heat season..." Oh waw, who would known that you were into such things? Oh cute. H : I swear, if you don't stop I will crash the car right now. G : You will not ! Its a rental ! H :Giovanni my phone!

*chaos* ahah. _

Yes, Serenity being a doctor is an accomplishment in her time!

(And I don't know for 'People of Color', in my country we don't define people by the color of their skin, but first with their nationaly (are you part of our country) and then the origins of each side of your families on different degrees (parents and grandparents) and when we mention color its more in a joking way. So I don't know enough on the topic of this in America either ! I'm sorry.)

((Even two days ago I was watching an American show 'White Lotus s2' and they talk about 'affiliated white friends' ? And with the person I was watching we where just like "???" What does that mean ?))

Racism and sexism is the worst. Its a level of stupidity I'm not willing to talk about im sorry ahah I will get mad too.

The only exemple I know like Serenity backstory his in the serie Outlander (third season i think) 1950s the hero, Claire, move in in America, and she is a nurse during WWII and she wants to become a doctor. She faces a lot of sexism. And in her faculty she becomes friend with a man who is a Black American of origin and he faces racism. So they both try to make their ways in this hard climate. (At the end they both become surgeons so slay!!)

People's opinion are worth to listen before making a verdict, of course !

Me too i cant wait ! I'm glad you like it Thank you for your time and have a nice day !🌸🌸🌸

THANKS! I'm seriously relieved and thank you for your clarification!! And yes, I can understand why you use 'she' for Lolicia.And translation programs usually automatically specify it as 'she'For example, translation programs always indicate Charlie as 'He'.(I hate this thing, it requires constant editing)

I'm glad you were satisfied with my service, madam.

And yes, the lyrics and the way he sings the song really gives off the Alastor vibe.

MY VOTE IS DEFINITELY FOR HUNNI, IT'S TOO CUTE!!!

YOU'RE so Creative!!!

And the meaning of Addolorata's name is really beautiful!!

And I don't know why, but I think it fits Lolicia in its meaning!

And it was a really clever detail that Val called they by the Spanish equivalent of their name!!

Yes! There is a limit to human creativity!

Yes, in a way, the purer something is, the harder it is to corrupt it.

Charlie and Constantine's birth conditions cannot be called normal. After Lilith's fall, although she tried many times with Lucifer, she always had a miscarriage.

This is because Angel blood (gold) It is like an acid that melts/burns demons/Or corrupt ones.

And because Lilith is a corrupt ancient human In a way, a child from her and Lucifer died while still in the womb.

There is no need to give too much detail. Lucifer and Lilith prepared a spell over the years to ensure that the baby did not die, and this time was really tiring for both of them, but the result was successful!!

The bloods had finally found balance, but they were founded on a kind of constant balance of destruction followed by renewal.

That's why Charlie and Constantine have copper/resin colored blood, and this blood is something that harms sinners/hellborns, just like angel blood.

(This is not the case with sins because they do not have the old purity in their blood only Lucifer had)

So, without going into too much detail, this is the story, but you can change this as you wish!!

---

I totally agree with your thoughts about Bloods.And it's a very clever idea to increase the redness of the sinners' blood as they become corrupted.In a way, red is the color that represents Roo and evil is something created by humans and the blood of humans is red.

THIS IS A SERIOUSLY GREAT IDEA!!! It is both aesthetically pleasing and very logical, both visually and in terms of storytelling!

After all, evil is Roo, and the more you contain it, the more it will come out.

I totally agree with your idea about the balance of Bloods and Sinners with red and black, I think it's a really great idea.

And It's really good how overlords entered the Tournament like this.After all, they are the most monstrous of sinners.

And for some reason, while doing this, EPIC's Monster song is playing in my mind.

I understand perfectly well. She thinks the only way she can be accepted is if she becomes a complete Goetia.And yes, maybe this may change with her experiences, maybe she will never deviate from her decision.Only the future will tell.

I'm seriously curious about Hürrem's decision regarding her future!!

And I have a question. As far as I know, a king can remove the 'Bastard' mark from someone and declare them fully noble.Why does Hürrem prefer marriage and engagement instead?(I seriously have no knowledge about this, can you explain)

---

Yes! Elrond is Octavia's twin brother and he is 18 years old and I'm so glad you like him!?

-He holds a grudge against his father for this. Apart from cheating on his mother, he sees it as an insult to his mother that he cheated on her with an imp the lowest races. And because of what his father did, he hates the fact that mother and father are constantly fighting at home

And and he Stolas feels that he didn't care enough about Octavia during these events.

-First of all, It is truly a great honor to have a engagement proposal brought to him by the Prince; even among nobles, Constantine is a rare person to interact with.That's why I think Elrond would be honored if something like this happened.

Ultimately, he will marry under any circumstances, but it is a really big deal for the person she will marry to be recommended by the Prince.

I think he will wonder why at first, but I don't think he will care much, after all, Hürrem is still a Goetia.

And I think he will try to get to know Hürrem and if he loves her, I don't think he will mind her being a hybrid.

-His powers are like the powers of Stolas, as well as the glacier powers that come from her mother's side

-Lmao that doodle really gives that Hint.😂 But no He is a Material girl and a Diva but he's not gay he's Pan.

-Yes, he is the exact opposite of Octavia, he is generally a luxurious and classically dressed person who likes to spend time with nobles.

In terms of height, he is close to stella, but he continues to grow even though he is not a full adult.

And thank you for your questions, I hope I answered them!!🌸🌸

THEY'RE IN WHAT????? LMAO

And I really laughed a lot while reading the dialogues you wrote. It's great to have a scene like this And Hürrem's panic was also very entertaining lmao

""GIVE ME MY PHONE, GIOVANNI"

*He continues reading "HAH, they say that those who look the most innocent actually have the deepest thoughts, fluffy feathers, I didn't believe it until now, but you are like living proof."

*with an embarrassed face* "SHUT UP AND GIVE ME MY PHONE!! (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠))

(Note to self, don't look at Hürrem's internet history)

And imagine this information goes to the Report

Serenity: Giovanni, thank you dear for giving the report of the last 28 days, you have made good progress even if you still do not have access to full information.

How is your relationship with your partner, whom Majesty has put forward?

Giovanni: She is a very nice, a little excited girl. But she does not act like a Goetia, she is a sincere person.I haven't learned much about her hobbies, but she seems to like reading fanfic.

Serenity: What is a fanfic, is it something like a book?

Giovanni: I feel like it's better if you don't know, but if you want, you can tell the Prince to look at RadioApple, you'll be amused by his reaction.Anyway, Hürrem is waiting for me outside, I shouldn't keep her waiting any longer, after all, there is a huge hell we need to investigate.

*runs out the door quickly*

Serenity: ?????

(By the way, the funny thing is that if they investigate RadioApple, both Constsntine and Serenity will suffer the same level of emotional damage lmao)

---

"People of Color''Thank you for your explanation about And The reason ı put that sentence to article is was for native English speakers, so that I can be warned if I said it wrong.But thank you again for your explanation, I learned about your point of view!!

And the dialogue in White Lotus S2 is really weird, what does that even mean???

I seriously agree, sometimes I watch movies that deal with these topics and I'm like this."How can people be so stupid argggg"

And yes, I have heard of Outlander!I watched it for a while Seriously, that characters. I'm so glad they achieved the thing they wanted despite all the difficulties!!I mean, even people who just want to help people are treated so unfairly. At least those two went through all that and achieved their dreams.

Thank you again for the time you took to answer.And I wish you a good day too🫂❤️❤️❤️

Van Helsing, I love you, I am sorry, I have read this book several times over, I know all that has happened and will happen, and I still have trouble believing your bullshit---

First up, JONATHAN!!! My babygirl is BACK, and I love to hear his voice. He's filled with new energy but there is still that shakiness, that anxiety. The firm certainly mixed with the moments of fear and reflection aghh.

Van Helsing's preaching about Mina is so patronizing I want to slap him, oh my god. He is earnest, but lauding Mina as some heavenly symbol is just... bad news. No one can place someone on a pedestal that high while also regarding them as a human being and not an idol. Van Helsing adores her, but he still has yet to respect her.

VH: "Madam Mina told you against my orders?? And you are not dead??"

Jonathan: "Oh, actually, maybe the stress of not knowing and forcing myself to ignore the signs around me was really bad for my health. If it went on any longer, I probably could have worried myself to death."

VH: "Hahaha... you tell me... that secrecy meant to protect can harm instead?"

Jonathan: "Yep."

VH: "I MUST TELL FRIEND JOHN BEFORE HE HAVE THE STROKE!!"

Jack sounds more shaky than ever. The uncertainty that plagued Jonathan but is gone now has been afflicting Jack instead, but he does not acknowledge it. It doesn't help that Van Helsing...

Lissen. He's taking his first baby steps into being fully honest with Jack. And by that I mean he burst into Jack's asylum, shoved a newspaper in his face, and proceeded to scold him for not being into spiritualism. I don't blame Jack a single second for his difficulty.

Little tangent: THAT ISN'T HOW VAMPIRE BATS WORK YOU FUCKKER. Have you SEEN how tiny they are? A vampire bat would sooner balloon up and POP before it could drain the blood from a grown man's veins. What you have to worry about with vampire bat bites is rabies or infection not fuckinogn complete exsanguination, you madman. Jack doesn't know about bats, of course, but I DO and I might not know about parrots or GIANT SPIDERS IN SPANISH CHURCHES, BUT I DO KNOW BATS. Vampire bats are tiny. The absolute biggest bats in the New World don't drink blood, they eat birds and rodents and smaller bats. VH, stop shit-talking real bats.

That aside.

He berates Jack for doubting before Jack has even had the chance to doubt. Part of the reason Jack hasn't come to the conclusion that it is vampires... isn't that he's written it off as impossible. It's that he doesn't know what the fuck vampires are. And VH doesn't even bother to say the word vampire. He accuses Jack's dead friend of attacking young children before he even explains the concept of vampires.

Jack presuming that the creepy mortician stole Lucy's body is a reasonable conclusion with the information he has. The idea that Lucy has risen from the grave and is biting children now is NOT A REASONABLE CONCLUSION WITH THE INFORMATION HE HAS.

Van Helsing knew that Jack would have a hard time believing. He knew, so he tried to prime Jack's brain for the mic drop, but sir, spouting a bunch of urban legends about immortality and blood-drinking and then saying "I just need you to blindly believe me" is not good priming. It's just not it, chief.

"I didn't want to hurt you with the reveal, hence why I yelled at you about science and spiritualism and parrots for like eight minutes before finally getting to the point and accusing your dead crush of abducting and harming children."

There was a better way to go about telling Jack, Van Helsing. I don't know what it is. All I know is that you have gone about it in possibly the worst way, and you are not allowed to be annoyed with Jack for even a second, you mad lad. You made your bed, now sleep in it.

Chapter One-She's In THAT CAMP?!

Lila attempted to lie, saying that she found the show Total Drama Island and made Chris McLean the host. However, before she could say anything, the commercial was over, the show was back on, and all the kids started watching it.

"Welcome back to Total Drama Island."

Lila growls and scolds when the show is back on.

"Alright, it's time to meet our first eleven campers. We told them they'd be all staying at a five-star resort, so if they seem a little T.O'd, that's probably why."

After a while, they see all the contestants, such as Beth, DJ, Gwen, Geoff, Lindsay, Heather, Duncan, Tyler, Harold, Trent, Bridgette, Noah, Leshawna, Sadie, Katie, Ezekiel, Cody, Eva, Owen, Courtney, Justin, and Izzy, they watch Chris saying something.

"And now, for our last two campers, one, I'm sure you all probably know that she's famously known around the world. One of the world-known famous celebrity idols from London, Mary-Loukritia "Lucy" "Lou" Corleone. AKA, Madame Hatter from the famous idol group, the MetaBetas!"

Lindsay, Sadie, and Katie squeal as they all see the girl, Lucy Corleone, in person.

Lucy smiles with her doe brown eyes, deep brunette hair in a ponytail, and dusting off the dust on her gray crop-top hoodie, black designer leggings, and white sneakers. She then moves the strands of her hair and tucks it behind her left ear, which has a black diamond stud earring that appears to be magnetic with no piercing that is required.

"Ciao, Signor McLean."

"One of the world-renowned famous celebrity idols, Lucy Corleone," Chris said, introducing them to the camper/contestant as Lucy walked with her suitcases.

As Lucy walked, she placed her suitcases along with the other luggage.

The class looked both surprised and amazed at the same time. The kids were astonished that one of the MetaBetas idols was on the show. Lila smirked, believing this was a chance to get more popular with the class. Before she can spout out another lie about Lucy and the MetaBetas, Chris continues as another boat with the last contestant arrives, which makes Lila growl again in anger and frustration.

"And last but not least, we have this last contestant who is recommended to us from a school in Paris, France," he explains. The class looked surprised to hear that. "Someone from here is now on this show? So cool!" Alix said, astonished. The kids agreed, impressed that someone in Paris was now on the show. Lila was about to tell them it was her best friend until Chris interrupted, continuing the introduction, which made her growl in frustration again. "She's a rising fashion designer, became popular overnight, and now has good connections with her famous commissioners. It's...Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" "Wait," "What?!"

Then, they all see Marinette getting off the boat with her luggage, bags, and a box full of paint.

"Marinette?!" "She's in THAT camp?!" "Dude!"

The class looked shocked, seeing that Marinette was the last contestant on the show and Wawanakwa was the camp they sent her to. Lila looked shocked too, quietly snuck out of the crowd, went to the hallway, and growled loudly in jealousy and anger, with teeth gritted out and grinding like crazy. Then, she heads to the bathroom and punches the wall.

Meanwhile, in Ontario. Marinette looks shy, seeing that she is now at the camp she was being sent to, and sees that there are new faces that she has never met before. She sighs and smiles.

"Bonjour. It's very nice to meet all of you." Marinette said, smiling shyly. She then looks shy but then offers them the baked goods she had brung with her. "Macaroons?" Chris gladly takes one. "Merci." Marinette then headed to the other campers and gave them some while heading to put her luggage up with the others. "These are really good!" Owen says, happily enjoying his.

After that, Chris gets their attention. "Alright, first things first. We need a group photo for the promos. Everyone at the end of the dock." When the campers headed to the end of the dock, Marinette stood next to Lucy. Owen then lifts them up on his shoulders for them. Marinette and Lucy looked at each other and just shrugged with smiles. As they were smiling for the camera, "One, two, three... Oops, forgot the lens cap." After the cap was off, he took the picture, "One two- oh no, wait, card's full. Hang on."

"Come on, man. My face is starting to freeze." Leshawna said with grit teeth and a smile while rolling her eyes. "Got it. Okay, everyone say, Wawanakwa!"

When the campers said Wawanakwa, the dock suddenly collapsed. The picture was taken at the same time, which shows most of the teenagers either almost drowning and/or swimming for their lives, while the photo got Lucy and Marinette, who both smiled for the photo, before they ended up in the water along with the other campers.

"Okay, guys. Dry off and meet at the campfire at ten." Chris said.

After getting back up at the docks and drying off, Marinette heads to the campfire, where she and the rest of the campers are supposed to meet Chris. There, she sees Lucy. "Uh, is it okay if I sit here?" she asked. Lucy smiles and nods her head to her. Marinette smiled and sat down next to Lucy. Marinette then gets another macaroon out of the box and splits it in half for her and Lucy. "Marinette." "Mary-Loukritia. Lucy for short."

After a while, the rest of the campers came and sat down with the two while Chris talked, "This is Camp Wawanakwa. Your home for the next eight weeks. The campers sitting around you will be your cabin mates. Your competition. And maybe even your friends. You dig? The camper who manages to stay on Total Drama Island the longest without getting voted off will win one hundred thousand dollars!" 'Wait a minute, Total Drama Island? Voted off? One hundred thousand dollars? Isn't this supposed to be a summer camp or something?' Marinette thought, getting confused. She then snaps out of it as the punky-looking guy, who she believes is named Duncan, starts talking. "Excuse me, what will the sleeping arrangements be? Because I would like to request a bunk under one of those two," he said, motioning to Marinette and Lucy, which made them glance at each other, looking a bit uneasy. "They're not co-ed, are they?" asked Heather. "No, girls get one side of each cabin, and dudes get the other," Chris said, making Marinette and Lucy both relieved to hear that.

"Excuse me, Kyle? Can I have a cabin with a lake view since I'm the prettiest?" asked Lindsay. "Okay, you are, but that's not how it really works here. And it's Chris," said Chris.

"I have to live with Sadie, or I'll die." "And I'll break out in hives. It's true." 'I know I shouldn't think bad, but I hear worse lies from Lila/those people who got the greed and want for fame get the best of them.' Marinette and Lucy both thought to themselves while looking unamused. "This cannot be happening." Gwen lets out with sarcasm written all over the tone of her voice. "Come on, guys. It'll be fun." Owen said, trying to bring positivity to the campers while headlocking Tyler and Gwen. "It's like a big sleepover." "At least you don't have to sleep next to him," Tyler whispers to Gwen, motioning to Duncan as he gives the poor deer a headlock and a noogie.

"Here's the deal." Chris said, "We're gonna split you into two teams." 'Oh, goodie. This is like that fantasy book all over again.' Lucy thought with a hint of sarcasm, thinking that this would be like the fantasy book series she and her friends from home read back when they were in middle school. Chris continues, "If I call your name out, stand over there." With that, Chris starts calling the names of the campers. "Gwen, Trent, Heather, Cody, Lindsay, Beth, Katie, Owen, Leshawna, Justin, and Noah. From this moment on, you are officially known as the Screaming Gophers." Chris moves on to the second team. "The rest of you over here. Geoff, Bridgette, D.J, Tyler, Sadie, Izzy, Courtney, Ezekiel, Duncan, Eva, and Harold." As they head to the other side from the Screaming Gophers, Chris tells them what they're called. "You guys will be officially known as the Killer Bass."

"Wait, what about Marinette and Lucy?" Cody questions. "Well, since we can't decide which team they will be in, we decided to let the two switch teams. Isn't that fun?" Chris said, "So for right now, they will be part of the Screaming Gophers." Cody sighs in relief hearing that.

Confessional: Chris McLean

"You'll also share your innermost thoughts on tape, with video diaries, anytime. Let the audience at home know what you're thinking. Or get something off your chest."

Confessional: Lucy Corleone

"Ciao, to all of my gattini back from home and over the world! I must say, this show you all have recommended me to be on is very impressive so far. Even though it's already getting its ups and downs, I believe I'm going to be just fine here in Wawanakwa."

Confessional: Marinette Dupain-Cheng

"Okay. I don't know what to say in this confessional. But I like to say, this is gonna be a good camping experience for me."

"Alright, any questions? Cool. Let's find your cabins."

With that, they headed over to the location where their cabins were so the campers could get settled.

"Gophers, you're in the east cabin, bass, you're in the west," Chris explains. When the Screaming Gophers got to their cabin, Heather looked as if she saw someone grow another head. "Bunk beds? Isn't this a little, summer camp?" she asked. "That's the idea, genius," Gwen said as she moved past Heather. Heather scoffs, "Shut it, weird goth girl."

'Oh great. And here I thought The Sides' rivalry was terrible enough. By the end of this show and season, Gwen and Heather are going to have a stronger rivalry than The Sides themselves.' Lucy thought, rolling her eyes as she unpacked. "Look, if you two are gonna start a rivalry, leave me out of the chaos. I already had enough drama in my life since my freshman year of high school," she said, with seriousness and venom in her tone. Heather and Gwen shivered from her venomous words. They know that Lucy is not someone to mess with, so they keep their mouths shut and start to unpack their things. "You're smart. I feel that." Lucy turned to see Cody. "Shouldn't you be on the boy's side?" Gwen asked.

After that, Gwen threw Cody out of the girl's side of the cabin. That was until Lindsay then asked another question. "Where are the outlets? I have to plug in my straightening iron." "There are some in the communal bathrooms, just across the way," Chris explained. "Communal bathrooms? But I'm not Catholic." "Not communion. Communal." "It means we shower together, Lindsay. But I wouldn't worry about it. It's not like those shower rooms from the horror book and film versions of Stephanie Queen's Clara. There's a difference." Lucy explained, telling Lindsay what communal means. "Oh, okay," Lindsay said, now understanding what Lucy meant about the communal bathrooms. Then Geoff started talking to Chris. "Excuse me, Chris. Is there a chaperone of any kind in this facility?" "You're all sixteen years old," Chris said. "As old as a counselor in training at a regular summer camp. So, other than myself, you'll be unsupervised. You've got half an hour to unpack and meet me back at the main lodge. Starting now." "Nice," said Geoff.

Suddenly, a scream was heard loud and clear outside of the cabin. The teens looked to see it was Lindsay, who was getting away from the cockroach. D.J. screamed as well as they all saw the roach, then leaped on a bed in fear and broke it. "That was my bed," Gwen said, looking unamused.

The roach continues to crawl, and the campers are screaming in fear and avoiding the cockroach. Then, Duncan holds an axe, ready to decapitate it. Until Marinette stops him, has the roach in her fingers, and takes it outside. "There. No cockroaches in my cabin," she said. Marinette then heads back to the cabin, where everyone looks surprised. "My uncle dealt with bugs like cockroaches back then," she explained while she continued unpacking. "Nice," Lucy said as she and Marinette fist-pound.

After that, they went to the main lodge. Marinette and Lucy thanked the chef for the food he made and gave them, and they walked to sit down with the Gophers. After a little while, Chris enters. "Welcome to the main lodge," he said. "Yo, my man. Can we order a pizza?" Geoff asked. That was until Chef tosses a cooking knife that barely misses Chris on the left and to Marinette's right. Everyone became scared of that. Everyone except Chris, Marinette, and Lucy. "Whoa! It's cool, G! Brown slop is cool! Right guys?" The campers agreed in fear. Chris then continues, "Your first challenge begins in one hour."

"What do you think they'll make us do?" Katie asked. "It's our first challenge." said D.J. "How bad can it be?"

"Whoa." said Lucy. When the challenge came, everyone was now in their swimwear, on a thousand-foot cliff, seeing that this was their first challenge.

"Non l'ho visto arrivare, eh?"

"Nope. Did not see that coming."

"Okay, today's challenge is threefold. Your first task is to jump off this one-thousand-foot-high cliff into the lake." Chris said, explaining the challenge tasks to the campers. "If you look down, you will see two target areas." They all looked to see the two target areas Chris was talking about. "The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic man-eating sharks." Marinette gulps, as she already noticed the sharks. Chris continues, "Inside that area is a Safe Zone. That's your target area. Which we're pretty sure is shark-free." "Excuse me?" said Leshawna. "For each member of your team that jumps and survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside the crates are supplies that you will need for the second part of the challenge. Building a hot tub. The team with the best one gets to have a wicked hot tub party tonight. The losers will be sending someone home." After explaining their first challenge, Chris starts the challenge. "Let's see. Killer Bass, you're up first."

"So, who wants to go first?" Bridgette asked. The rest of the Killer Bass team were silent, not volunteering to be the first to take the first dive down from the cliff to the Safe Zone. The Screaming Gophers were even quiet. The atmosphere felt like a person could cut it easily with a plastic butter knife. That was until Owen breaks the ice, trying to lighten the mood. "Hey, don't sweat it, guys. I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to be sure it's survivable," he said. Marinette and Lucy smiled. "Owen's right, guys. I'm sure they did test it out. After all, the last thing this place needs is a lawsuit." Marinette said encouragingly. Lucy nods in agreement, "Yeah, and I'll be darned if that happens." Lucy said with confidence already running in her veins. After agreeing that this was tested before they arrived, the Killer Bass continued, trying to figure out who was jumping first. "So, who's up?" asked Eva. "Ladies first," said Duncan. "Fine. I'll go." Bridgette said. "You got this, Bridgette," Lucy said. Marinette nods in agreement. "No regrets!" Bridgette smiles.

After that, she says as she prepares to dive, "It's no big deal. It's just an insane cliff dive into a circle of angry sharks." As she jumped, she made it safely into the Safe Zone. The campers were happy seeing that she made it into the Safe Zone. "She did it!" said Tyler. "Yeah! I'm next!" With that, Tyler jumps next, letting out a 'Cowabunga' until he lands on a buoy. Bridgette winced the pain she had witnessed, while Tyler groaned in pain, yet he was still in the Safe Zone.

Geoff jumps off the cliff after Tyler. Eva was next, letting out a 'Lookout below!', and then Duncan, who was crossing his arms, not looking amused. It was D.J.'s turn, however, "Uh-uh. No way, man. I'm not jumping." "Scared of heights?" asked Chris. "Yeah. Ever since I was a kid." said D.J. "That's okay, big guy. Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken. So, you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day." Chris explained, putting a chicken hat on D.J.'s head. "Oh, man. For real?" said D.J. After balking like an actual chicken, "That means the chicken path down is that way." Chris said, pointing to an escalator that was surprisingly there at the cliff. As D.J. walks to the escalator, Marinette stops him, saying, "It's okay, D.J. There's no shame about not doing it due to a fear of heights." D.J. smiled. "Thanks, Marinette," he said.

After D.J. went to the Chicken Path, Ezekiel was next. He jumps until he bumps into a rock on the cliff, spinning in circles, and makes it safely into the Safe Zone. The Killer Bass, who jumped off, cheered while Ezekiel gave a thumbs up. Harold was next. He jumped until he landed in the Safe Zone on his crotch, which caused him to scream in pain, which made everyone, including the sharks, wince the pain he was now in.

"Oh, hate to see that happen," said Chris. "Excuse me, Chris. I have a medical condition." Courtney announced to him. "What condition?" "A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs." "You can chicken out if you want. But it might end up costing your team the win. And they will hate you." Chris said, pointing out what would happen if Courtney chickened out. "It's a calculated risk. I've seen the other team, and I don't think any of them will jump." "Alright, here's your chicken hat," Chris said, putting the chicken hat on Courtney's head. After that, he looks at his clipboard, tallying up the results. "That's eight jumpers and two chickens. We're missing one."

Sadie complained that she couldn't jump without Katie. After a minute of the two begging Chris, Izzy offers to switch teams with Katie, so as a result, Chris gives in. Making Katie part of the Killer Bass and Izzy with the Screaming Gophers. After that, Sadie and Katie jumped, joining the rest of the Killer Bass.

"Okay. So that's nine jumpers and two chickens. Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that, we'll throw in a pole cart to put your crates on." Chris said to the Screaming Gophers. "Nice," Trent said. "Okay, guys. Who's up first?"

"I'm sorry," Heather said, crossing her arms. "There's no way I'm doing this." "Why not?" Beth asked. "Hello? National T.V. I'll get my hair wet." 'Excuses, excuses, excuses. Oh, great. Now I sound like Mr. Sword Maker.' Lucy thought, with an eye twitch from both her stress and anger, until she looked unamused, sounding like a certain someone she knew as a child. She then snaps out of it when she hears her team continue, "You're kidding right?" said Gwen. "If she's not doing it, I'm not doing it," Lindsay said. "Lindsay, please, you don't have to blindly follow Heather's way," Marinette said. "Oh, you're doing it," said Leshawna.

After seeing Heather and Leshawna arguing, Lucy starts to see red. She stomps to Heather, grabs her, holds her up, and stomps to the end of the cliff. "I'm sorry, Heather. But I have about enough of this messed up drama that we have witnessed. Your lousy little excuses and talkbacks are just nothing but a giant waste of my time and everyone else's. So, shut your trap, shove it down, and get in there, NOW!" After saying that, Lucy throws Heather into the Safe Zone. "And that, campers, is a life lesson. Do NOT make a Corleone mad." Chris said with a smile on his face.

CONFESSIONAL: MARY-LOUKRITIA CORLEONE

"I had this stress and anger issue combination since my first day and freshman year of high school. After going through some things, I've been having these two issues all my life, to this day. The only thing good to know is that I have two systems of calming my stress and anger. And one of them is my two essential oils." Lucy then shows two bottles of essential oils labeled Stress and Anger Management. "These two are the only things that can help me calm down when I'm out. Without them, who knows what could happen."

Heather gets up from the lake, catches her breath, and glares daggers at Lucy. "Corleone, you are so dead!" she yelled for Lucy to hear. "Hey! She threw you into the Safe Zone, didn't she?" yelled Leshawna. She then turned to the rest of the team and said, "Now I just hope I can hit it too." After that, she jumped and made it safely into the Safe Zone with Heather.

Lindsay was then next, yet she appeared to be scared. "I thought this was going to be a talent contest," she said in fear. Chris laughs, "Yeah, no." After Lindsay jumped off the cliff. Then it was Gwen, followed by Cody, and then Izzy.

Justin was next, but after he jumped, he made it outside the Safe Zone. However, the sharks took him to the other jumpers and chickens instead of attacking him. "He's even popular with sea creatures." Lucy said, surprised. Beth then chickens out, which makes it Marinette's turn. She gulps, looking down. "I can jump with you, Nettie." Marinette looked to see Lucy smiling at her. Marinette smiles. She took a quick breath, and with that, she and Lucy both jumped. When they did, Marinette saw she was in the Safe Zone. The jumpers and chickens cheer for her. As she gets on the boat, she sees that Lucy is not in the Safe Zone. "Lucy, look out!" Cody yelped. But before the sharks can attack her, Lucy grabs the two sharks by the gills and pulls them the way a child does to a mother's earrings, which makes them swim away from her. "Thank you, fact-checking," Lucy said, swimming to the boat to join Marinette.

After Trent jumped, Chris talked to the rest of the jumpers and chickens with a megaphone, "Okay, campers. There's only one person left. You guys need this jump for the win." Chris then turns to Owen, "No pressure, dude." After a quick pause, "Okay, there's pressure." The Screaming Gophers started cheering for Owen to jump.

CONFESSIONAL: OWEN

"Oh, I was pretty darn nervous. You see the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer."

CONFESSIONAL: GEOFF

"I'm looking at this guy and thinking, there's no way he's gonna make it."

They all looked up to see Owen if he could jump or not. Then, he jumps, landing in the Safe Zone, making a big splash that splashes on the campers. Including the sharks. "The winners! The Screaming Gophers!" Chris announced. "That was awesome, dude," Trent said. That was until Owen started looking around. "What's wrong?" "I uh, I think I lost my bathing suit." The campers groaned in disgust.

"My eyes and ears will never be clean," Lucy said as she looked away while Marinette agreed. "I noticed," she said.

After hitting the showers and changing into casual clothes, they returned to bring the crates to their cabins. The Screaming Gophers use the pole cart they won, while the Killer Bass all have to carry all of theirs. When the Screaming Gophers got to the campground, they started using their teeth to open their crates.

After opening their crates, they got the supplies they needed to build their hot tub. While Lucy and Leshawna were getting the supplies, Heather and Lindsey walked to the two. "I just wanted to say I didn't mean that about you being a ghetto rap star wannabe. And I love your earrings. They're so pretty." she said, making amends to Leshawna. "Straight up?" Leshawna asked. "Well, I'm sorry I threw you over the cliff," Lucy said with a smile and crossed her arms. "No worries. I needed a push," said Heather.

After making up with Heather, they continued getting the supplies out. They then looked to see that the Killer Bass made it. Lucy then noticed something. "Hey, where are Sadie and Katie?" she asked. "They're just getting a drink," Courtney said, quickly answering the question. Marinette gasps as she sees Courtney's right swollen eye. "Courtney, what happened?" She asked. Courtney realized what she was asking about, and she quickly covered her eye with her hand. "Nothing, it's just an allergy," she said. "I think it's getting worse." Ezekiel pointed out. "Shut it. We don't want them to know that," whispered Courtney.

After a while, the Screaming Gophers got all the supplies and started building the hot tub. Then, it was finally time for Chris to see them. Chris starts with the Screaming Gophers. "This is an awesome hot tub!" he said. Chris then heads over to the Killer Bass with their hot tub. However, when he checked it out, the hot tub fell apart.

"Well, I think we have a winner here...the Screaming Gophers!" Chris announced. The Screaming Gophers cheered upon hearing that they had won the challenge. "Gophers, you're from elimination, and you get to rock this awesome hot tub for the rest of the summer. Bonus!" he said to them. Marinette was happy to hear that her team won the challenge. 'Maybe this camp isn't so bad after all.' she thought happily. Chris then turns to the Killer Bass. "Killer Bass, what can I say? Stinks to be you right now. I'll see your sorry butts at the bonfire tonight." he said.

"Our first day in this cruddy summer camp and the coolest part of it is that we won our first challenge and we get to stay for the next three days. Best summer experience we'll have ever." Lucy said, holding her fist up to Marinette, "Punch it in." Marinette understood it was a fist pound, smiled, fist-pounded with Lucy, and said, "Punch it in."

After that, everyone was back at the lounge, eating the dinner Chef had made. Lucy was enjoying her dinner when she heard the Killer Bass' conversation about who should be voted off their team.

"Well, I think it should be Princess or the brick house here," Duncan said, pointing to Courtney and D.J.. "What? Why?" Courtney asked. "Because unless I'm mistaken, you two are the only ones here wearing chicken hats. And if we ever have to lift a truck, I like our odds with the big guy." Duncan explained. "But you guys need me," exclaimed Courtney. "I'm the only one-" "We know," Bridgette said, interrupting Courtney before she can finish her sentence. "You used to be a real CIT. Who would you pick?" Courtney looks around and then points to Tyler. "What about him?" "NO!" yelled Lindsey. The Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass to her, and she started making an excuse to get the unwanted attention away from her. "I mean no...salt, There's no salt on the table, bummer." "Oh, sorry, Lindsey, I lent it to Cody. Here." Marinette says as Cody passes it to Lindsey. "Thanks," said Lindsey. "Hey, at least he jumped off the cliff, chicken wing." "Shut it!" "Okay, let's just chill out," Geoff said, trying to stop the argument between Courtney and Duncan. "This is getting way too heavy." "I've had enough prison food for one day," Duncan says as he gets up. "I'm gonna go have a nap." "You can't do that! We haven't decided who's going yet!" yelled Courtney. "Well, I just don't get why we lost, eh? They're the ones that have eight girls. And one of them is being a hot idol wannabe." Hearing Ezekiel say those words caused everyone, including Duncan, to freeze in shock. Marinette spat out her water while Lucy coughed from her water after hearing those words come out of Ezekiel's mouth.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Bridgette. "Yeah, homeschool. Enlighten us!" Eva said, putting her fist on the table. "Well, guys are much stronger and better at sports, music, singing, and dancing than girls are," said Ezekiel. Lucy's eyes started glowing red in rage after hearing that. No one around her was aware of her now glowing eye. "Oh, snap. He did not just say that," said Geoff. Ezekiel continued. "My dad told me to look out for the girls, eh? And to help them in case they can't keep up." Eva then grabbed Ezekiel by the neck with her two hands and lifted him. "Still think we need your help keeping up?" she asked, shaking him to prove her point. "Not really," he said. Geoff then jumps in. "Okay, guys. Let's give him a break," he said, while Eva dropped Ezekiel. "I mean, at least he doesn't think that guys are smarter than girls." "But, they are," said Ezekiel.

"Okay... THAT DOES IT!" Lucy yelled, grabbing Ezekiel. She then takes him back to the cliff, throws him outside the Safe Zone, and yells, "FATALITY YOU, YOU BETA-PUNK! GO BURN IN LAVA!" After that, she walks off, dusting off her hands and ignoring all the screams from Ezekiel while he was swimming away from the sharks.

CONFESSIONAL: MARY-LOUKRITIA CORLEONE

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention the triggers of my anger issue. One is sexist punks, sexism, misogyny, misogynists, and chauvinists. People and things like that always get on my nerves since I was four. And don't even get me started on that play I used to be on when I was that age." Lucy stuck her tongue out in disgust, reminiscing what happened in her old school days.

After a while, it was finally time for the bonfire elimination ceremony. All the girls in the Killer Bass were already glaring at Ezekiel after what happened in the main lodge. "Dude, you've got a lot to learn about the real world," Duncan said. Chris then gets the team's attention. "Killer Bass. At camp, marshmallows represent what you enjoy by the fire. At this camp, marshmallows represent life. You've all cast your votes. There are only ten marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the Dock of Shame. To catch the Boat of Losers. That means you're out of the contest. And you can't come back. Ever. The first marshmallow goes to...Geoff. Tyler. Katie. Bridgette. D.J.. Harold. Sadie. Duncan. Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening...Courtney." Courtney was relieved to know that she was okay and not eliminated. "Can't say I'm shocked. Saw you picking your nose, dude. Not cool." Chris said to Ezekiel. "Dock of Shame is that way, bro." As Ezekiel walks to the Dock of Shame, Chris turns to the rest of the Killer Bass. "The rest of you. Enjoy your marshmallows. You're all safe. For tonight."

CONFESSIONAL: GWEN

"Yup. This camp pretty much still stinks. But now that I'm here, I guess I might as well try to win."

After the elimination ceremony concluded, the Screaming Gophers were celebrating. For their victory. Lucy and Marinette raised their lemonade juice boxes and said in unison, "To the Screaming Gophers!" "To the Screaming Gophers!" their team cheered.

The Killer Bass were heading to their cabin, and Courtney stopped. "Are you recording this? Good. They can enjoy their little party all they want. But I'm gonna win this competition. And no one is gonna stop me." she said. That was until a water balloon hit her on the head.

"Sorry! Foul ball!" called Lucy.

finished charlotte brontë's villette today. some more thoughts to add to the collection... (SPOILERS AHEAD!)

- literally WHAT???

- two whole chapters dedicated to a bad drug trip. i wasn't joking in my last villette post when i said it had to take the trophy for weirdest brontë novel ever (starting shirley after this, but just based on the plot synopsis alone i already know it doesn't come close)

- there are SO many parallels between this novel and jane eyre it's truly insane - to the point where it truly feels like a retelling of the jane eyre - with all the fairy tale themes (quite literally acknowledged in the book) but without jane eyre's fairy tale ending

- the main character's love interest, paul emmanuel, is literally charlotte saying: "what if i took mr. rochester, erased all of his sex appeal, and made him way worse in general? okay, that backfired, shit, shit... wait, but then what if i try to make him better later on? okay, this is going well, this is going w— ah, shit, lucy doesn't need him anyway, let's just have him disappear and people can think whatever the fuck they want. i don't really care what they think."

- and apparently charlotte tried to kill him off in the end but her dad made her leave it up to interpretation thinking it wouldn't sell as well if not... so anyway what i'm saying is that this book is for the mr. rochester haters

- i don't even really hate paul but i didn't really feel for his loss either, even though i did learn to tolerate him and like him maybe a little toward the end... but in the main, his character flaws were so striking, and his lack of chemistry with lucy compared to jane/rochester for example, is really to blame for that

- i feel like lucy may be incapable of lasting love and/or she is truly suffering from comphet or gender troubles

- i feel like she had way more chemistry with john whether platonically or romantically. honestly he was one of the most entertaining characters because he felt very real.

- i wonder if villette (based on their frienemy situation) had repressed feelings for ginevra or vice versa because 1) the theatre performance where lucy had to act as ginevra's male lover and fell really really into the role, 2) the fact that they keep up a correspondence, 3) when lucy said ginevra would lean on her like she was her male suitor & it made her uncomfortable, 4) complimenting her beauty & defending her to john despite her dislike of her (this could just be lucy's goodness) 5) lucy's comment to polly where she said she could never love a man OR a woman "in that way you're referring to" (tightly paraphrasing here), 6) lucy analyzing the artwork of naked women & then defending herself to paul, 7) lucy admiring/idolizing madame beck who is described as being masculine, 8) probably many other things i've forgotten

- after reading theories about charlotte and ellen nussy i'm feeling vindicated in my discovery of the queer themes - the novel can be read as being very comphetish (comphet = compulsive heterosexuality; for those of you who may not know, this term was coined by writer/theorist adrienne rich to describe the ways in which lgbt people [she focuses on women] are brainwashed to think they're straight, & the weird symptoms this can cause!)

- i read a spoiler about characters being not who you think they are initially, and so i knew john was dr. bretton, BUT I MISTAKENLY THOUGHT POLLY WAS GINEVRA! and in my last post i made a reference about seeing a lot of adèle varens in "the french girl of the story" but really i see a little bit of adèle in both ginevra and polly - to clarify this point. but i also see how the fairy references re: polly parallel jane - that's about where their comparison ends though.

- anyway the nun plot was interesting but kind of underwhelming. also which we got more time with ginevra's rakish beau.

- might make a whole post just on the comparisons between paul/rochester & paul/lucy & rochester/jane... so many... damn...

Goblins of Discord 👹 Enneagram Type Database 🤓

All typings have a corresponding youtube video (linked). Many more on their way. Please note, that some of these are likely to change a bit in the future.

So Gregory, Lucy, and Felicity won the poll with Portia and Violet coming in second and Edwina and Penelope coming in third. I have started watching Harlots and am also in an omegaverse mood soooo. . .

Gregory was trying so hard not to blush. He needed to say something, anything. But what does one say to their family member who had basically dragged you off to a heat house?

Edwina Bagwell rolled her eyes at the young alpha. "It is not that embarrassing Gregory. You are not the first nor the last lord's child who has used a heat house to help you through a rut. It could be worse, I could be Kate or Anthony."

Now Gregory wasn't sure if he wanted to be sick or crawl in a hole somewhere at the thought. Kate and Anthony are basically his second parents, he would die of mortification if they ever took him to a heat house.

"And besides if you didn't know this place was a heat house then you would never think it one passing by. Very discreet and only serves those of the ton."

Gregory finally got his damn mouth to work. "Does your husband know you go to these?"

Edwina smiled. "Of course, he does. My husband and I do not mind sharing one another, especially when one of us is away. He much prefers I don't spend my heats alone."

She links one arm through Gregory's and starts marching him into the building. "Now come. Let us find you a rut partner before it hits."

Gregory wanted to argue that he had a week before his rut hit, not that it would make a difference as Edwina had already dragged him to the door.

He had to admit this was a very discreet place. If he didn't know any better, he would have assumed it was just another home of some gentry member. They even had a butler answering the door and taking calling cards.

On the inside though was a different story. The house was darkened, with the only light being soft candlelight. It was very open too, all the drawing rooms had the doors wide open, some without doors at all. Men, women, alpha, beta, and omega all sat in these different rooms, some in groups, others by themselves. Some wore feathers of varying colors in their hair.

Gregory could do without all the smells. So many in one place was not helping keep his alpha calm. Damn rut making his nose more sensitive. Most of these scents were okay, there were a few putrid ones though. Like that overly sweet one that honestly came off as fake.

Edwina and Gregory were led to an upper floor office, where they were greeted by an older omega woman.

Gregory would put her around his mother's age. Her red curls piled on top of her head into a bun with a gold feather sticking out. The choker around her neck was black with gold stitching in the shape of a feather. Her scent is a comforting one, a mixture of lemongrass and lavender.

"Mrs. Bagwell, tired of your husband already?" The woman teased.

Edwina giggled. "Madam Portia. He's away for business at the moment and sadly won't be here for my heat."

The woman turned her brown eyes on him. "I see you brought fresh meat for my girls. A Bridgerton no less."

Gregory shouldn't be surprised Madam Portia recognized him, one of his older brothers probably use to frequent this place. Since Edwina knows of this place it was probably Anthony-

"Your mother has always been one of my favorite partners."

Gregory blinked. "I'm sorry what?"

Madam Portia just carried on like this was normal to learn your mother frequents heat houses. "Honestly felt sorry for the poor thing when Lady Danbury dragged her here the first time. The first heat or rut after the year of mourning always seems to hit the hardest. You almost always need someone there to help."

Madam Portia started digging through her paperwork. "So what brings you to my den of sin little Bridgerton?"

Before Gregory could respond that he in fact was dragged here Edwina spoke up.

"He's getting too aggressive during his ruts. He needs a rut partner."

Not true, so what if he shattered a mirror and a dresser during his last rut? He does not need a rut partner. If anything Gregory should be working on finding his mate, a guaranteed way to help calm him down.

Madam Portia nodded. "Most young ones do. Lucky for you plenty of my girls know how to handle young alphas." Madam Portia turned towards Gregory. "Now how long before your rut hits?"

Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush. "A week."

Madam Portia smiled. "Perfect. We normally suggest a week in advance anyway so that way you can find the right partner for you and you both can work out how to spend your rut and payment."

Portia pulled out two contracts and two black feathers with red tips. "As Mrs. Bagwell already knows this is your contract Mr Bridgerton. In it states that we will help you with your rut so long as no harm comes to our girls and we receive payment. You are to come as often as you can a week before your rut so that you can relax your alpha with scenting. Whether that partner be an omega, beta, or another alpha is your choice. My available girls will have a yellow feather in their hair. Those who are currently with partners will have this same color feather in their hair. Those with a white feather though are off limits."

Madam Portia narrowed her eyes. "Do we understand that Mr. Bridgerton?"

Gregory nodded, hesitantly taking the feather and signing the contract. He still didn't believe he needed to be here, but Edwina still has a vice like grip on him. He'll just not give the feather to any of the girls, wait until Edwina is done, and be on his way.

"Is Pen available?" Edwina asked as she took her feather.

Madam Portia looked over a book. "She should be. She'll be in the emerald room today."

"Thank you," Edwina said and started to drag Gregory off.

Gregory wrinkled his nose the further they walked away from the office. "Edwina I truly think this will not work."

"You'll never know if you don't try Gregory." Edwina began to pull him towards a drawing room in the back of the house. "Now come, we'll start in the Emerald room."

The Emerald room was well emerald. It was also less crowded than other rooms with a total of maybe ten people, including Edwina and himself.

Edwina looked around the room before dragging Gregory over to a window seat where a plump, red-haired omega sat reading a book. He would put her around Edwina's age. She wore a soft green dress with no petticoats, so the fabric clung to her like those of ancient greek statues. Around her neck is the same black choker with gold thread that Madam Portia wore. She smelled of pomegranate and lotus.

"Pen!" Edwina greeted her.

The omega, Pen, sat down her book (was that greek?) and smiled. "Edwina, it's been a while. Did Mr. Bagwell, leave you alone for me?" She said, practically a purr.

Edwina dropped a kiss on Pen's lips and the feather in her hand.

Pen turned towards Gregory. "And who might this strapping alpha be?" Her brown eyes looked him over but it felt like she was looking through him.

Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush.

"I'm Gregory."

Pen's eyes lit up in recognition. "The youngest Bridgerton boy."

Don't blush. "It appears my family's reputation reaches farther than I thought."

Pen giggled. "Edwina and I are close friends and sometimes lovers. My friend Gen also spent quite a bit of alone time with your brother Benedict before he decided to tie the knot."

"What a small world. "

Pen nodded. "Indeed."

"Pen!" Another red head omega shot across the room. She was taller than Pen but younger. Gregory would put her a few years younger than himself, 21 maybe? She wore the same style of dress as Pen but her's were in blue. Almost the same shade as the Bridgerton blue. The same style of chocker was around her neck but there was something peaking out from underneath on the side of her neck.

A wave of orange blossoms with a hint of honey hit Gregory and he felt himself relax, and he cheeks start to heat up.

Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush.

"Litty, Edwina was kind enough to bring us a new guest, why don't you say hello to Gregory?" Pen suggested, as she darted her eyes towards Gregory.

Litty looked up, her breasts almost brushing against Gregory's chest. When did she get so close, or did he get closer?

"Edwina you brought a little cutie alpha!" Litty exclaimed as her hands cupped Gregory's face. "The girls are gonna eat him up."

Gregory's alpha purred at her touch, and wanted more.

Gregory turned his just so so he could rub against one of Litty's scent marks against her wrist. Her scent, it was almost perfect. If only the honey scent was just a little bit stronger. He glanced up at her hair.

She had a yellow feather in her hair.

"Litty let him go!" Pen ordered. "He's getting scent drunk."

"Oops, my bad!" Litty let go, her hands moving faster than Gregory's so he could put them back. She thankfully didn't completely let him go though, instead grabbing his hand and leading him to another window seat. "Come on I'll help you find your rut partner while Pen and Edwina work on payment."

Litty sat down. "So, your name is Gregory correct?"

Gregory nodded. "And you are Litty?"

Litty smiled. "That's me. So, what's your preference? Omega? Beta? Maybe another alpha?"

Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush.

"Um," Gregory stuttered. "Omega would be preferred."

Litty nodded. "That's probably for the best. You're new to rut partners aren't you?"

Gregory chuckled. "You can tell?"

Litty shrugged. "You all have the same look when you come in for the first time. You can start to tell, you can also tell who's families throw them in here."

Gregory sighed. "You can tell that too?"

"Your scent has been sour since you walked in. It's not uncommon."

Gregory and Litty looked over at the voice. It was another omega, this one with honey blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was dressed more like a maid, though the fabric of her dress still hugged tighter than any maid Gregory has seen in the past. She also wore the same choker, and like Litty there was something peaking out on the side of her neck.

She smelled of honey, with a hint of orange blossom, and in her hair was a white feather.

"Lulu!" Litty smiled, stretching her hand out for the other omega to take. Lulu curled into Litty's side, her head laid against Litty's shoulder. "Gregory this is Lulu."

Their two scents mixed, that missing piece to Litty's scent now there.

"A pleasure to meet you," Gregory said. His alpha purred in agreement.

Both omegas smiled at him.

Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush.

Damn it he was blushing.

#gonna stop there before it gets too long #gregory is in trouble #he's got two mates to win over #his siblings are gonna give him so much shit #bridgerton #gregory x lucy x felicity #gregory bridgerton #lucy abernathy #felicity featherington

Out of the Reverse 1999 cast who would be a good driver? (Ignoring the fact that some of the cast probably dont know what a modern car is, lets just say some eventually learn to drive)

Like we know Tooth Fairy if given the wheel will run over people. We know Blonney can drive, should she teach Jessica I wonder?

How about characters like Vertin, Kakania, Windsong?

(I probably headcanon Schneider probably does know how to drive, being a mafia boss and all)

(I totally see Tennant riding a motorbike lol)

(Lucy would probably be like installing Siri or something into a car since she can be 'installed' into a new body)

Just thinking of a silly idea that Vertin is forced to drive a car to escape Manus or something, it would be funny to see.

Mmmmm, characters being good at drivinngggg

Let's see with the ones you mentioned.

And no, I don't think Blonney should teach Jessica to drive, at all. She's not bad but she gets distracted easily and that well... Thank God it was just Blonney's arcane skill and not a real car. Good enough to drive but gets overwhelmed or distracted easily, not recommended to drive.

Kakania? Mmm I can see her as a reliable driver. She's probably really good at driving once she learns and is properly trained. I can see her driving a really nice car she bought around town.

Isolde on the other hand...

She's not bad, technically, but the ghosts messing around are very dangerous. She could get distracted, possessed or something along those lines. Someone ends up damaged. And if she and Kakania haven't made up and she sees someone resembling Kakania she WILL stop the car in the middle of the route. She's a safety hazard.

Windsong probably doesn't drive because she's poor. She doesn't think she could own a car because of her lack of money and when she actually tries to drive she gets easily confused or overwhelmed. She's good with field work and studies but in a car she's putting both at use. it takes her some time but she's probably a good driver. Very, very nervous and follows every rule in order not to have an accident.

I think it's better if Vila drives.

Vila Is pretty good at driving, she has to anyway. She's basically a mother of the Rayashki kids after 1.8 and has to take them to places so eventually she has to learn how to drive. It's calming when she drives, she's very careful but not overly careful and she knows what to do. The kids can be relaxing, Windsong studying and she's driving!

As for Vertin. Girl HAS to learn. She takes care of a bunch of arcanists and has the custody of someone like Isolde, she has to learn something. She probably has a variant of the Tooth Fairy curse where she's always getting parking tickets instead of running over someone. But she's chill, she's ALWAYS in charge of the music, I'm sorry Regulus but your ass is NOT listening rock.

Speaking of Regulus, she's surprisingly a decent driver. She had a boat and a motorbike, she's pretty good at driving. She doesn't like cars tho, she only drives if absolutely necessary, she's more into motorbikes.

I actually can't see Tennant driving. Listen to me okay-

Tennant is definitely a player and technically poor since she's always trying to take your money. She probably never actually drove a car and had the women drive her around. She plays a lot on that con and low-key useless woman. She actually has Vertin drive and asks her for money every time they get a ticket, she's just like that.

If she took the time to learn, she'd probably be fond of those old (well, canonically they're new or close to new) cars and use it to seduce older women. Or if she's trying to play onto the "bad girl" vibe, a really cool motorbike.

Lucy? Lucy has Simone against her will. The first time Lucy tried to drive she had her cables connected to the car and become the car. It was a terrifying experience to hear Lucy from the radio of a car. Eventually Simone became her chauffeur because she's the only one willing to deal with Madam Lucy. It's just Lucy telling Simone where to go trying to keep her excitement while Simone is like "Yes, Madam Lucy. We can go to an amusement park." (She a silly)

Schneider probs had to learn. She's the youngest of like, 12, so she was taught how to drive and drove Mariam around a lot. She's a menace on the street but actually follows the rules, she wants to mess with her terrified sister but still be a reliable sister.

Bkornblume is probably a good driver too! She's probably more fond of bikes because they're silent but she can drive you a stolen car around.

Melania... No I don't think so from Melania. She's probably walking or driving a normal bike around to get where she has to be in silence. She takes rides with the others but she's a terrible driver, Ms. Acey recommended that she doesn't try to drive anymore.

Diggers Is a good driver and I don't know how to feel about that. He's okay ig. He still gets arrested every time he touches a car, another variant of the Tooth Fairy curse.

Kaalaa Baunaa Is a good driver! She learned a long time ago, probably from Kumar, but hasn't driven in a while. It's actually Kanjira the one who helps her drive again since Kanjira does know how to drive.

Shamane tho, my man rides a bear he can't drive at all. He's bad at it and has to own it.

Going to 1.4, Sophia is the most decent driver out of 6 and 37 (her father taught her some things, she just never actually tried), unfortunately since she's gone they have to fend for themselves. They never saw a car, only Sophia, so they both suck for different reasons. 37 can't concentrate, 6 gets too nervous.

I could add so many more but I feel like it'll be too long since, well, too many characters. But if you want more you can tell me!

Vertin having to drive her squad in a stolen car far away from the Manus only to get five tickets for speed even if she followed the law. She just can't catch a break.

#reverse 1999 #I have remembered too little #there's a lot of thoughts in my head but I hope this is enough #there's too many characters 😭#i tried to out as many as i felt like it was enough #Isolde can't drive without someone nearly dying wheb she dissociates #Kakania is okay she's your average driver #Jessica is a safety hazard #Windsong is too nervous she be trembling #37 should never be allowed to drive #and Vertin has bad luck

WIP Wednesday

The Shadow Game: The Fall

Her eyes caught sight of a table tucked away in the corner, hidden almost completely out of sight. There was only one figure seated at it. A spindly being with mussed dark hair and rectangular-shaped glasses.

She approached almost cautiously, a bit hesitant. Jonathan had been nice enough during the handful of labs that they had shared together. He was smart, and he was the first person in a long time who seemed to be able to understand exactly how her mind worked. It was an incredible relief; to finally have someone who was able to keep up with her. And he was polite. He didn’t leer at her or make her feel uncomfortable. In fact, she wasn’t sure if she had ever felt so wholly at ease with another person before. But he was also quiet, and clearly very private and closed off. At the end of each of their lab sessions he was the first one out the door. And he never had made any real effort to speak to her outside of class related topics. She was unsure of how he would respond to her suddenly approaching him at what was clearly a well established study spot of his. The last thing she wanted to do was come across as stalker-y.

“Jonathan?” she asked softly once she was close enough. He looked up from where he had been highlighting something in his notes, eyes sharp with an annoyance that seemed to soften a bit when he saw that it was just her.

“Yes?” There was a twinge of impatience in his tone, eyes unblinking as they stared at her. She cleared her throat awkwardly.

“Would you mind if I…” she gestured towards one of the unoccupied chairs at the table. Jonathan’s lips pressed together as he considered, before shrugging and looking back down at his homework.

“Sure.”

“Thanks,” sliding into an open seat, she removed her coat and began to pull her books from her bag, stacking them as quietly as she could down onto the table to avoid disturbing him. Flipping open to a bookmarked page, she chanced another shy glance up to find Jonathan staring at her.

“What?”

“You have snowflakes in your hair.”

A hand shot up to the top of her head, and sure enough, came into contact with several cold wet spots. “Oh. Yeah. It’s snowing pretty hard outside.”

“Hm,” was all he said in response, eyes lingering on her a moment later, lips pursed. Her cheeks began to heat the longer he continued to look at her. And then he blinked, as if realizing that he had been staring, and looked hastily back down at his work.

They remained in silence, both of them working on their individual homework. The only real other interaction occurred when Vanessa let out a huff of annoyance at her highlighter running out of ink, only for Jonathan to silently slide his across the table to her, earning a small, grateful smile from her.

An hour or so in, she spotted Jonathan moving out of the corner of her eye, glancing up to watch as he methodically returned his books to their place in his book bag, shrugged his coat on and hefted the strap of his bag over one spindly shoulder. A glance at her watch revealed that it was almost time for their evening lab. With hasty movements, she dumped her books and highlighters back into her bag, probably a fair bit less thoughtfully or gracefully than he had. Tugging on her coat, she glanced up to find Jonathan leaning against a stack of books, waiting patiently for her. Upon noticing her looking at him, he gave her…it wasn’t quite a smile, but it wasn’t not a smile either.

These Devilish Intentions: A New Arrangement

The smoke had barely cleared from the funeral wagon and Tommy was pulling away, turning to stride off into the trees. Lizzie called for him quietly, a hand reaching out to try to grasp at his shoulder but he shook her off, not even turning to look at her. Lucy waited only a small beat before following him, keeping her eyes trained on the ground in front of her, not wanting to have to deal with Lizzie’s glare.

He had come to a stop at a small creek, settled down on a rock with his gloved hands clasped in front of him. Lucy settled herself carefully down beside him, her shoulder brushing his gently. This was better. In the quiet of nature, without the tears of the family or Michael’s furious eyes.

They all were likely convening now, muttering to themselves about how heartless their patriarch was, unable to shed a tear even at his own aunt’s funeral.

They had not been there, when he pulled the cloth away to reveal Polly’s lifeless eyes. They had not seen as his buried his face in his hands and wept. How she’d had to put her arms around him for fear that if she didn’t he would collapse completely.

Now her small hand looped around him to rub at one strong shoulder. Tommy sighed heavily, rubbing tiredly at his eyes, body drooping a bit. Lucy let her head settle on his shoulder. She was hit with a sudden wave of deja vu, of memories of sitting with him alone outside in the dark near Arrow House. On those nights after Grace had died and neither of them could stand to be in that mansion for one more minute. They would sit, their arms around one another, often both quietly weeping as they watched the flames of the fire they had built dance before them.

How cruel this world was to make them bury so many that they loved.

“Fuck,” Tommy mumbled, lifting his head from where he had bowed it. Lucy hummed softly and closed her eyes. Tommy shook his head and leaned back, blue eyes gazing at the sky. “Everyone I love dies.”

She sat up a bit, head lifting from its home on his shoulder. She didn’t know what to say to make any of this better.

“Not me,” she replied a bit hoarsely. Tommy glanced down at her with those devastated eyes. She cracked a tiny smile, “I’m gonna live forever.”

His lips twitched like he was trying not to smile. He tucked a red curl behind her ear, thumb rubbing along her cheek. She turned her head so that her eyes peered up at him. He continued to pet her cheek, his expression dropping a bit as he stared at her.

“Did I ruin your life?”
