#Second Family Portrait

[yr-obedt-cicero]

just curious- somewhat in relation to your fic- but do you think Eliza would have been accepting towards Alexander's and John's relationship? if she ever found out.

Nope. And I highly doubt she ever knew either.

Although we don't have anything that indicates Eliza's opinion on sodomy, it is likely safe to assume she was probably your average, period-typical, homophobic, upperclass woman. Maybe even a bit worse considering she was a devoted christian, and was just a judgmental person in general. Eliza was religious and was adamant about it all considering she was often the one instilling religion and proper Christian behaviors in her kids since Hamilton wasn't really a religious person up until the last few years of his life.

I don't see her as being anywhere near accepting, and I often see people comparing it to the Reynolds affair which is just refutable—Infidelity and affairs were actually a commonplace thing of the day, and it wasn't like the Hamiltons' were sheltered from this issue with Hamilton's own family, and their association with others like Gouverneur Morris. Hamilton and Eliza shared the same class with many couples and families that were a victim of such, so honestly, I can imagine it being more forgivable than sodomy (Plus the whole infidelity loop that twists them in since Hamilton was still in a relationship with Laurens when marrying Eliza). And that point, Eliza would have definitely left.

And there are arguments that she supposedly would have been if she didn't mind Baron von Steuben associating with the family, which leads to the unfortunate truth that; even if she did, let's say, know about the Baron's inclinations, it wasn't her choice or say who associated with the family. Ultimately it was Hamilton's, and as much as he loved his wife, I highly doubt he was consulting her about that stuff. Also it's faulty to even consider she knew, as the Baron wasn't foolish with this sort of thing—He was smart about being good with making friends with the upperclass society (Y'know, like the Schuylers'). And honestly, all the rumors surrounding around why he got discharged from the Prussian army and the conclusion being that he was gay probably weren't even true. It's more likely he was just released from service because the army was downsizing, it's incredibly hard to believe he could have just been so open about his sexuality to people, especially enough so to get discharged. If anything, the most critical thing was that he remained a bachelor. So, I highly doubt Eliza knew of that either.

And now it comes down to, would Hamilton tell her? I don't think so. Nothing suggests he ever did, and that she ever knew even after both men's deaths. Sure, Hamilton confided a lot to his wife, but this would have been too grave to share. Additionally, there wouldn't be any reason to, Laurens was dead and Hamilton ended up pushing the memory of him far away.

But since you brought up my fic, I'll add on what separates some of my opinions and then my stories; it's fiction, and despite some of my beliefs like Eliza never agreeing with this sort of thing, or that Laurens and Hamilton would have fallen out of contact had he lived, it doesn't mean I'm always going to implement the most realistic thing in a fiction story I'm writing for fun. It's all about being hypothetical, and exploring those what-if's—So, please remember I'm not always going to be displaying what I say here in my work. Sometimes I will, but in this case where SFP is just a fun little project I started writing for fun and interactions I wanted to imagine, not everything is going to be the most realistic case in scenario.

Lilich sister portrait

[falmerbrook]

Some Saori family stuff.

First one is a portrait of her and her parents. She's an only child as her parents met later in their lives and decided to have a child even later, but she's very close with them. She's a huge daddy's girl. While her dad is from Morrowind and fully Dunmer, her mother grew up in Cyrodiil and is 1/4 Nibean Imperial and 3/4 Dunmer. Her dad is of House Sadras and her mother's ancestors were from House Hlaalu. Saori grew up in Cyrodiil but was pretty much completely raised in Dunmer culture with her mom's extended family.

Second one is a moment from Saori's childhood with her great-grandfather (on her mother's side). He's from Vvardenfell (and moved to Cyrodiil after the Red Year) and liked to tell Saori stories of Morrowind pre-Red Year, eventually inspiring her to move to Vvardenfell for her ecological restoration project as an adult. He's very excited about it and very supportive.

Idk what is going to happen in the Prisoner's Throne between Jurdan and Suren, but if they don't end up accepting her into their cute growing Duarte/Greenbriar found family, I think that would really be a shame because all things considered, Wren has so much to relate with both Jude ad Cardan on a personal level. Like they would vibe together, i just know it. They just need to give each other a chance :(

1795, Laurens is without any success for preaching the liberation of slaves, Hamilton urges him to join him in New York and in the Manumission Society. Laurens finds himself cramped in the middle of a family he feels he does not belong—his lover happily married besides him—and surrounded by all of his children that have no relation to him. A painful endeavor to bear.

The first Wayne family portait

I just wanted to draw baby bruce being a little nuisance 😈 it was just supposed to be a family portrait of the waynes standing in front of gotham bay, showung off the new Wayne tower. I’d like to think Bruce really liked alfred even as a baby\toddler, he was the only person other than his parents whom Bruce would allow to hold him as a kid.

The second set of sketches are of Martha being a kind and gently disney pricess, teaching bruce not to be afraid of birds and other small creatures. Which he’ll remember later on when he’s older and wants to make a new friend.
