Vandamme was such a meme

[svld99]

If season one Jamie had gotten injured we would’ve not seen the same emotion like we did in this week episode.But when season three Jamie gets hurt the look on Roy’s face is one of worry not because Jamie is their star player but because he actually cares about him. Then we see keeley she says his name and you can tell she wants to run down to check on him. Teds face screams worried father not a coach who’s best player just got hurt.Then we see Isaac run to him and check on him. You can tell he’s worried so he sends van damme to get the team trainer. When Jamie collapse we see the team run to him. Sam is right behind him worried about his best friend. After he’s seen by the trainers and we see Jamie go back on the pitch. A look of relief come over Sam ,Colin and Moe.Then we they get back to Richmond Jan is helping him in. Every single one of the players stop at Jamie locker to check on him before they go partying. You can tell how much he means to all of them now. With how they all reacted to his injury.

Dear William,

What is your secret for shiny, full hair?

--Vandamme

My dear Vandamme!

I am so glad you asked! You see, first of all, you should be born with naturally great hair, just like mine. From a very young age my parents told the house elves to use an Occamy egg yolk mixture when washing my hair. I stopped using it when I found out how dangerous it is to make, the market for it isn't huge.

Now I mostly use natural soaps and oils, along with some magical potions from time to time, just to give it an extra shine. But even without those things my hair is super soft, just not as amenable.

And, of course, I use some simple charms to dry my hair and style them. My hair is naturally curly but I find that styling them makes me look neater, just as a prefect should be. Lavender-scented oils and balms are my favourite, and then the prefects' bathroom has some nice products in there as well! Not that you'll give you a free pass

Hope I was able to help! If you want me to teach you the incantations or give specific brand names, feel free to find me in person!

Yours, William Abbott ☀️

P.S. Unfortunately, a certain niffler is really fond of my lavender soaps... So perhaps if you are looking for a scent, lavender is not the best option to go for while you're at Hogwarts.

The Marx brothers: Harpo, Zeppo, Chico, and Groucho, in Animal Crackers, dressed as musketeers, 1928, at the 44th St. Theater. Book by George S. Kaufman & Morrie Ryskind. Music & lyrics by Bert Kolmar and Harry Ruby. Costumes by Mabel Johnston. Set by Raymond Sovey.

Margaret Dumont was also in the cast and, in the ensemble, a young dancer named Hermes Pan, who would go on to choreograph many of Fred Astaire's movies. The show ran for 191 performances, which in those days meant it was a great hit.

Random question, but do any of you know how the Marshals (and other well known people of the Napoleonic era) treat children? not just their kids, but like other children as well?

I remember there being a post about something similar to this (I believe it mentions Vandamme making baby sounds at a baby,) but i cant find it. I genuinely wonder if that was a fever dream. I also remember seeing a post somewhere about Ney finding an abandoned child and helping them find someone to take care of them, but I'm not even sure where i found that, much less its source.

Can anyone confirm these bits of info, know of the post I'm talking about, or have any anecdotes regarding these people and children?

Napoleon was pretty nice but it wasn't a great idea

Au lendemain d Austerlitz, Alexandre, que Napoléon pouvait retenir prisonnier de guerre et claquemurer dans une forteresse, supplia très humblement son vainqueur de permettre qu'il se retirât avec les restes de son armée ce qui fut accordé. Leur faire grâce aujourdhui s'écria l'héroïque et malheureux Vandamme c'est vouloir qu'ils soient dans six ans à Paris. Dix ans plus tard il y eut à Sainte Hélène un commissaire pensionné par Alexandre pour s'assurer de la détention du Captif. Telle est la beauté de l histoire telle est la politique et telle fut la récompense de la magnanimité de Napoléon qui pardonna presque toujours et ne fut jamais pardonné.

The day after Austerlitz, Alexander, whom Napoleon could have held and walled up in a fortress, humbly begged his conqueror to be allowed to retire with the rest of his army, which was granted. To give them mercy today, cried the heroic and unhappy Vandamme, is like wanting them to be in Paris six years from now. Ten years later, on St. Helena, there was a commissioner paid by Alexander to assure the captive's detention. Such is the beauty of history, such is politics, and such is the reward for Napoleon's magnanimity, who nearly always pardoned and who was never pardoned himself.

“I have kept my sadness to myself . . . to remain profoundly forgotten as I am overwhelms me.”

Letter from Vandamme to Napoleon, 1809.

Context: Vandamme wanted to become a Marshal of the Empire, and was unhappy due to the long-time lack of promotion. This was written after the end of the War of the 5th Coalition. During the war, Vandamme had fought at the battles of Donauwörth, Abensberg, Ratisbon, and Eckmühl.

I will not conceal, Sire, that for some time now I have been distressed. I have kept my sadness to myself so long as the resumption of hostilities was uncertain. But now that Your Majesty has again brought peace to France, I feel I can make known my chagrin. Sire, to remain profoundly forgotten as I am overwhelms me, while I see the entire French army receiving great benefits and favors, and right before my eyes my equals are gratified with rank, dignity [that is, the marshal’s baton] and immense fortunes.

What am I now to think, Sire? What will my family think and those who know me? Am I in disgrace or can I still count on the goodness of Your Majesty? Without doubt, if one looks at my conduct, one must believe that I deserve Your Majesty’s goodwill rather than the bitterness of disfavor.
