In the end, he was forced to choose between France and one of his best friends ;_;

(this is a redraw of my favourite illustration from Rose of Versailles, here's the original under the cut- I just love that tragic pose!)

Amy: *sitting on a park bench, reads a book about hedgehogs*

Amy: ''So, hedgehogs court by persistently circling around each other while huffing and snorting. Interesting...''

Sonic & Shadow: *race past her while circling, shouting and fighting each other*

Amy: *sighs, calmly closes the book and stares at the audience*

Amy: ''I rest my case.''

The Blue Rose fortold by prophecy, here to absolutely bumble her way to dismantling your expectation laiden society because of what it does to the people who don't fit.

Couldn't have said it better myself, mate! Lapis is here to take down the system and she's gonna have fun (and be super confused) while doing it!

The way the female characters treat Anthy in RGU make me think about how Shojo heroine were hated (and still are but more discreetly now). Especially when they were blamed for "stealing" male characters away

This evening, I was reading an intriguing historical fiction manga called "Rose of Versailles," and I happened to come across the one and only Maximilien Robespierre!

Now, in the scene captured above (with my laptop and phone camera... not the brightest move), Robespierre is depicted delivering a speech for Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette at Louis Le Grande. I have heard this story told many times before, but recently, I have also seen people say that it never happened.

Myself, I have not encountered any evidence that necessarily proves it untrue... But again, there is a part of me that can't help thinking how convenient it would be for, say, someone after his death to come out with a story, bringing into light something like a personal grudge against the king... You understand, that exact scenario has happened before, so it would be a reasonable doubt, yes?

So what do you say? Here, I invite answer, discussion, or places I could do further reading. And while we're at it, what do you think about the way the manga depicted him, for the few pages he appears?

Je vous remercie.

(And here he is again, my love...)

adore the contrast between clara knowing everything there was to know about the doctor and his past vs thirteen telling her squad absolutely NOTHING about herself. ZERO information. they found out she was called a time lord after over a year of traveling together

and then jack appears and turns the tension up 100 degrees. randomly singling out certain people as being closer to the doctor than the others (which is true, there’s never been a flat team structure, but has that ever been remarked on out loud?). flirting. mentioning tragic fates of companions past like it’s no biggie. i fuck with that so hard. thank you mr harkness for your service in making the tardis a deeply uncomfortable environment to exist in once more. enough safe space uwu supportive fam we need the previous eras’ levels of drama and jealousy back

The idea of The Hewn City revolutionizing and breaking off to make their own court makes so much sense to me. I see no point for Rhysand to keep them underground. What because everyone down there is supposedly evil and content with it??? For over 500 years in the Hewn City and Mor is the only one not evil??? Yeah bullshit. I don't understand why no one has conjured up the idea to revolt. Hell they have every right to, they live in complete darkness 24/7, I doubt they're getting much nutrition, be used as cannon fodder, their High Lord only ever comes there to act like an ass hole show off his trophy wife and fuck off right back to Velaris where they clap cheeks inside their 9th mansion. The only time a couple citizens of the Hewn City are allowed out and visit Velaris,they're treated like absolute dog shit

i find big buff traditional hollywood celebrity alpha dave in a suit to be handsome like everyone else but i can't help but think of him as this scrawny eccentric socially awkward dude extremely dedicated to nothing except his abstract radical performance art. fans develop images of him but there's nothing of himself he deliberately puts out into the world besides his projects. no real friends, no lovers. fronts and fake personas galore. isn't trying to waste his time and emotion on people he'll lose anyway. that kinda thing
