[sammypog]

full haul of napoleonic/frev stuff from my week in paris 😈😈😈😈

[fuwbuki]

Once again late for Thermidor. So i only have frev guys from my sketchbook mixed with some other historical figures

In case you're wondering like I was: the reason why a lot of the 18th-century philosophers can't seem to stop making Cato the Younger references (Voltaire talks about Cato at least 6 or 7 times in Letters on England which is a lot because it's by no means a long text. Mandeville too of course — hi bestie!)

is because there was a play in the early 1700s about Cato (Addison's Cato, a Tragedy to be precise) which seemed to have had the cultural impact of early seasons of Game of Thrones

Catoo! this actor is from an 1800s production but still. Look at that facial expression. The sad wet cat energy. The pain in his eyes. It's all there!

Oh, and by 'cultural impact of Game of Thrones' I don't mean an increase in theatre subscriptions or of Cato action figures sales (though that would have been awesome!)

I mean it had a pretty significant influence on many of the American Revolutionaries (and French too most likely, since, cultural osmosis and all that). A lot of these nerds sure loved to quote it!

In theaters for one night only!

I tried to capture like vintage movie posters but idk. Text referencing Episode 163 - Puppets

Just like the fungi that grew in him, Vincent grew on me. You go funky old man. Voltaire I despised the entire runtime lol.

I also added the lines for it if anyone wants their hand at coloring this! Cause I STRUGGLED

I have no real reason to doubt Abraxus here but I have a lot more confidence that Seffie wants Colette to succeed.

and I don't know that there's a tactical advantage to separating Seffie from Colette but I can easily imagine such a thing.

and while Seffie is a bit gobsmacked right now, if she says it doesn't make sense, I at least want to know why.

Colette said it herself! Seffie is Grandma's protégé! They're close! Seffie knows things about grandma! Even if it turns out Grandma is pulling a backstab! (which is definitely the most believable part here)

Doomed yaoi being normal for once and a meme that made me laugh outloud like a dumbass when I imagined it

[sforzesco]

I know everyone likes to do the cassius seduces brutus into conspiracy bit, but consider that porcia also has a list of political grievances about brutus and that they should conspire to seduce brutus together

(I saw a tweet on ph twitter about a politician's recent marriage and it made me laugh)

the background text in the first panel is plutarch's brutus 7

 Now that there were several praetor­ships to be had, it was expected that the one of greatest dignity, that is, the praetor­ship of the city, would fall either to Brutus or to Cassius; and some say that the two men, who were already slightly at variance for other reasons, were still more estranged by this circumstance, although they were relatives, since Cassius was the husband of Junia, a sister of Brutus. But others say that this rivalry was the work of Caesar, who secretly favoured the hopes of each until, thus induced and incited, they entered into competition with one another. Brutus, however, made the contest supported only by his fair fame and his virtue, as against many brilliant and spirited exploits of Cassius in the Parthian war.​ But Caesar, after hearing the claims of each, said, in council with his friends: "Cassius makes the juster plea, but Brutus must have the first praetor­ship." So Cassius was appointed to another praetor­ship, but he was not so grateful for what he got as he was angry over what he had lost.

Plutarch, Brutus 7

You've heard of Snakes on a Plane, now get ready for Voltaire on a Train

[raeazure]

"The Holy Roman Empire wasn't holy, roman, or an empire" is something amateur historians love to post and it sounds like something some snide and pretentious dweeb thought it up, which is exactly correct bc it is a paraphrase of Voltaire.

How does one make Ravallumsonas?

I'm kinda really new to the Ravallum fanbase (and the Vtuber fanbase in general), and I occasionally see these fun sonas other fans make, and I kinda wanna make one, but I'm not sure if there's any sorts of guidelines I should be following? xuu (It's a silly thing to ask but I'm incredibly socially anxious and don't wanna embarrass myself too bad XDD)

Like, I wanna make a Dewsona, a Netherlingsona, a Roscalsona, and a Nixsona since those are Ravallum streams I've been binging, and I seriously need to know if there's a theme or a storyline I should be following, or if there's anything I shouldn't be doing, cuz I vaguely see a recurring pattern in other sonas I see, but I'm not sure what it is XDD

Also, while I'm at it, does anyone know if there's, like, a masterdoc for all the Ravallum lore? I am so so intrigued by the Ravallum lore and I want to learn more about it outside the character's initial lore videos, but I'm not sure where to find the rest of the lore and there are so many long streams to sift through, I don't think my ADHD brain can handle it :'DD
