Little silly university-sketches dump
So my good friend @louieclamlent adviced me several times to publish the little sketches i make when i'm bored in university or just inspired.
It's mainly Holmes and Watson sketches, as those two live rent free in my head and i made these sketches during my Hygien lessons this semester since i already passed that exam. There will be my notes on the side and yep, they're very colorful, my friends call them 'the gay pride notes'

We were talking of the necessity or not of screening tests and of over diagnosis, which is an actual problem but GOD, he treated it in such an infuriating way.
Tumblr media
While he talked quite well of trials and levels of research
Tumblr media
Ans this one was made for my GF, @mostvaliantandmostpround, and also because my love for this man is quite endless.
Now to the other professor! This one was very very nice
Tumblr media
As our Watson says, we really dealt a strong hit to infective illnesses!
Tumblr media
And only the parassite (fungi, bacteria, virus, parasite) isn't all that's needed to get the illness. Mind your stress levels, guys, and take care!
Tumblr media
AAAAND Holmes shouldn't dive into contaminated water!
Tumblr media
When they're alone, he's the one to wash the dishes, as he knows disinfecting methods very well, it's like cleaning chemistry's glasswere.
Tumblr media
Vaxes, of course!
Tumblr media
And there's no art in vaxes, as Holmes would say
Tumblr media
But air pollution is BAD for you. Tobacco too!
Tumblr media
listen to your husband and your brother, please, holmes. Smoke and fumes are BAD for you!
Tumblr media
Climate change is ALSO bad
Tumblr media
Happy, retired, bickering on who left chemistry supplies near the food, as they could contaminate it
Tumblr media
And Holmes WON'T buy that dress!

We have been denied Tim Curry or Peter Capaldi as cat-loving Richelieu.
Excuse me?????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the fact that movie adaptations of The Three Musketeers aren’t consistently giving me crazy cat man Richelieu is honestly so outrageous I want to see - NO I DEMAND to see the Red Eminence draw up important documents and plot to destroy France’s enemies while Soumise naps in his lap and Ludoviska tries to knock ink bottles off the table!!! Wake up how are movie studios not taking this excellent opportunity to give us Richelieu lounging on an armchair in the dark and petting cats like a moustache twirling Bond villain hello??????????????????????????????????????

CARDINAL RICHELIEU
CARDINAL RICHELIEU
9 September 1585 – 4 December 1642
            Richelieu, Armand Jean du Plessis was a French politician and churchman. He was born into a noble but impoverished family in France. He entered the Church and became a Bishop at the age of 22 and cardinal aged 37.
He rose to power as an adviser to Marie de’ Medici, the mother and regent of Louis XIII of France. In 1624 he became chief of the royal council; later as the weakling Louis XIII’s chief minister, he was virtual ruler of France. His policy was to concentrate all power and authority into the hands of the King and therefore himself. He curbed the power of the nobles, who hated him. There were many attempts to have him deposed.
            During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), he aligned France with Protestant powers to try to reduce the power of the Habsburgs in Europe. He also strengthened royal power at home by ruthlessly crushing the Huguenots and the nobility. He declared war on Spain and took the field to defeat the Spanish army that had invaded north France.
            He restored the power of the French monarchy and made France a leading nation in Europe. He taxed the people heavily and denied them any form of government.
            Richelieu was known for his red cardinal dress and being one of the leading characters in The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.  
            Cardinal Richelieu died in December 1642, aged 57. He had suffered from fevers and migraines. He was bled frequently, which made him weaker.
            His body was embalmed and interred at the church of the Sorbonne. During the French Revolution, his corpse was removed from its tomb and the mummified front of his head had been stolen. It had been exhibited and lent out for study. In 1866, Napoleon III asked for it to be returned to the rest of his body. His head was photographed in 1895.

Richelieu- Background and social outlook
Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu's family background and personal career made him familiar with all three estates of the realm plus the royal court and government. His father, François, had risen from the lesser nobility of Poitou to become grand provost at the Valois court. The elder Richelieu was in charge of maintaining order and provisions within the king's personal retinue and was ranked just below the great officers of the king's household (which included the masters of the stable, hunt, wardrobe, and king's chamber). François died serving as a captain of the guards for Henry IV when Armand, born in 1585, was not yet five.
Armand's eldest brother, Henri, was well positioned as a courtiersoldier during Louis XIII's minority; a second brother, Alphonse, decided on the monastic life. Armand was groomed by Louis XIII's riding master, Pluvinel, to be a courtier-soldier, but he was also inclined to theological studies. In 1607, Richelieu embarked on an ecclesiastical career when he assumed the family's recently acquired ecclesiastical post at Luçon. Bishop of a poor diocese, almoner to Queen Anne, and finally a cardinal and holder of several benefices, he was as committed a cleric as he was instinctively a gentilhomme.
Tumblr media
Through his mother, Suzanne de La Porte, Richelieu had another rich inheritance. Her Poitevin grandfather had been a tax agent for a local prince, her father a celebrated parlementary lawyer who helped frame the great sixteenth-century ordinances of royal laws. The La Portes were as successful members of the robe nobility as the Richelieus were typical nobles of the sword. The Richelieu who served Louis XIII was a unique exemplar of the values of the three estates. As a cleric, he blended Catholic reformationist zeal and reverence for the Papacy with an appreciation of the autonomy of the French monarchy. He had come to court as a friend of such religious devots as Pierre Bérulle, who founded the second of his famous Oratory seminaries at Luçon; however, bon Français leanings lay just beneath the surface. Unlike the devots, but like Louis XIII, Richelieu respected the Huguenots, while wanting to see them convert peacefully. As bishop of Luçon, he had written a polemic against Calvinism, fought off an attempt by local Huguenots to build a temple adjacent to his cathedral, and fretted about the Protestant state within the state, whose greatest seaboard town of La Rochelle lay just down the road.
Richelieu came to the court with some of the style of a Second Estate noble. He married his relatives into great families like the Condés. He pursued personal wealth. He even used public funds for private interests. Yet he saw the nobility's greatness not in independent lawless acts, but in service to the monarch. He earned the title of duke and peer in that service. And he joined his king in condemning noble violence, horrified by an uncle's dueling death, his father's killing of the offender in a second duel, and his brother Henri's demise in a duel over the spoils of the first War of the Mother and Son.
When it came to the ways of the Third Estate, this descendant of jurists was a curious blend of royal reformer and pragmatist. Like his royal master, he was opposed on principle to venal officeholding and judicial obstruction of state laws; yet he knew how crucial parlementary loyalty was to establishing a climate of submissiveness, by subjects both high and low. Louis had a habit of lecturing judges for interfering with affairs of what he called "my state"; Richelieu saw the need to bring the judgmental ruler around to a compromise that advanced the cause of that state.
Differences in their social outlook were less significant than shared attitudes. Had it been otherwise, Richelieu would have quickly suffered the fate of Louis's previous advisors. The self-effacing monarch who was comfortable in the dress of a simple soldier could tolerate ostentatious tastes only in a cardinal who liked to lead his armies. The frugal king who talked benevolently of "my poor people" could understand the duke and peer who thought of the poor as beasts of burden, at their best when working hard.

"C'est bien ainsi qu'il vous eût apparu, dans cette soirée du 5 octobre 1628, [...] cherchant à deviner, et fermant sa bouche, éteignant ses yeux de peur qu'on ne le devine, c'est ainsi qu'il vous eût apparu, l'homme sur qui reposaient les destinées de la France, le ministre impénétrable que notre grand historien Michelet appelle le Sphinx Rouge."
"It is exactly how you would have seen him, on the evening of October 5, 1628, [...] attempting to figure it all out, and sealing his lips, banishing the light in his eyes in fear that he would be found out, it is exactly how you would have seen him, the man upon which the fate of France depended, the impenetrable minister that our great historian Michelet called the Red Sphinx."
-Alexandre Dumas, Le Comte de Moret

Il y a 400 ans, l’apothéose de Richelieu, le plus grand serviteur de la France
Quel homme de pouvoir extraordinaire a été Armand Jean du Plessis, plus communément appelé le cardinal de Richelieu! Consacré à Dieu en tant qu’ecclésiastique, M. de Luçon, comme il est surnommé, sut user de stratagème, de malice, de charme et d’intelligence afin de s’élever à la plus haute place du royaume de France, juste derrière le roi Louis XIII. Cette longue ascension s’acheva il y a…
