my favourite passtime is making up incredibly unaccurate armour designs. That's a lie my passtime is researching but this comes at a close second
#[.art]#is it even armour at this point? it's a chestplate with a mantella over it. It's armour to me. In spirit.#oh I dread to maintag this but my blog has to be organised or I get hives so I am in fact putting this in at least his tag#This was mostly an excuse for me to shade metal and draw armour but he's there as a character base because I wanted to put constellations i#Javert#les miserables#les mis#<- the- what was it. The mortifying ordeal of being known? me when I post art I did for fun in my free time#also this file is called knightvert. You should know this#also I got an answer about the constitution in place in 1820 and I regret to inform you that mister Valjean was probably elected lawfully#mostly because he'd been there for the minimum required year in order to be a citisen and be appointed by the prefect as mayor#or by the double decimal process if we go by 1799 law and not the 1814 charter.#not counting the fake identity but alas I do not believe proof of identity was required by law for that so. Dreadfully not added to the lis#which doesn't exclude entirely document forgery because I believe property law comes into the needing proof of identity?#But I've been looking at french law for three days and I need to not read for a week now So I'll check that later

The Barbie movie’s got me digging back into Roland Barthes
#something about the sign and the signifier and removing#and how an image divorced from its original context and placed in a new one can have completely different meanings#a French flag in France has a totally different meaning and narrative than a French flag flying in Algeria#was I think the example he used#and I get that gerwig was pulling Barbie out of the box/ her context and just playing with her the way weird little girls do#to work out their understandings of the real world and building one they prefer#but CAN you divorce Barbie from a corporate capitalist context??#like I get why you don’t want to include issues of class in a Barbie movie#but feminist statements about patriarchy and it’s creation and its maintenance CANT exclude class#I think it was de Beauvoir who pointed out how patriarchy and private property are entertained#and I know steinhem wrote about how her middle class existence was sold to her as an American ideal but it made her and all her college#friends completely miserable#like they’d won the class lottery#but even still the system was actively oppressing them#but these aren’t really coherent thoughts#I did enjoy the depressed Barbie commercial so much I howled with laughter

writing is an Experience because inevitably I’m gonna need some information that there’s really no way to search online for and it probably isn’t at the library either
on a related note, does anyone know how one would write a grocery list in Cajun French?
#there’s a cool soulmate au I want to write an OP fic for wherein people find items that their soulmate loses#and the first item that sanji both loses and actually owned in the first place (rather than it being Judge’s property) is a grocery list#(or recipe notes or something. not particular. Just need it to be in Cajun French)#(That is to say the in-universe equivalent of Cajun French)#so that neither Zoro nor Kuina can read it)

Anne de Pisseleu had exercised a form of power that was intrinsically extra-institutional and dependent entirely of the king’s favor; her role was clearly understood by political insiders. Criticism took the form of conventional hostility to the role of women in power, yet in the king’s lifetime had to be circumspect and oblique. However, she lived more than half her life after the death of the king whose love had given her power and wealth. In this, she weathered the storm of disgrace remarkably effectively, carved for herself a new role and ended her life a moderately wealthy woman whose assets became a matter for ferocious competition among her relatives.
-David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"
#historicwomendaily#Context: She lived for over 70 years and was a royal mistress for only 20 of them (till Francis's death)#anne de pisseleu#french history#16th century#my post#Francis I#queue#I hate how Anne is dismissed and deemed irrelevant after Francis I's death#Most historians merely claim that she was exiled; fell into disgrace and humiliation; and died in obscurity#Kathleen Wellman even goes to say that Anne was shut up by her husband in a gloomy castle for the rest of her life#(And there's always a distasteful tone of wry satisfaction as they say this - as if she was finally 'getting what she 'deserved')#Suffice to say: this idea is objectively incorrect and I hate it#yes Anne DOES seem to have had an incredibly harrowing and horrible experience for a few years after; that should never be overlooked#But as this article says: Anne managed to weather her 'fall' and carve a new role for herself extraordinarily well#It's one of the most interesting things about her life to me#She still had wealth and property which she rigorously administered and expanded; she headed family affairs and arranged marriages;#She and her terrible husband appear to have informally separated (with a formal separation of property) and in his own last will he#flat-out wrote that Anne 'would never take her place as my wife'. She outlived him by around 15 years and 100% got the last laugh.#She also openly embraced Protestantism in the height of the Wars of Religion which was such a major bad bitch move#guaranteeing her both personal protection and material gratification#In fact one of the last known references of her was in 1576 where she hosted a meeting of Protestant leaders in her castle of Challuau#As you can see: Anne transitioned public royal influence to private personal power#But she clearly remained at the heart of politics and war throughout it all and was always relevant

Spent ages wondering why tf mortal Armand’s clothes were embroidered with the fleur de lis, a symbol of the french empire, when he was in Venice only to remember Marius is technically from France and putting that on his outer garments was was basically branding Armand like a prize calf
#marius babe please have a modicum of chill#surprised he didn't just have 'property of marius de romanus do not touch' embroidered on the ass of his hose#was it not embarrassing for him to be this openly thirsty#or is shame an emotion french vampires just don't know#(tangentially related but this gives me a lot of feelings on armand doing similar shit with daniel and even louis)#(and having his initials monogrammed into every bespoke suit and coat he orders for them)#(a little cursive A in the back of every collar resting against the nape of their necks)#(see it's hot when armand does it but marius i just have to roast lmao)#marius de romanus#armand#the vampire chronicles

Personal note from Sidney L. Phipson to a friend, regarding his convoluted book-long account of Marat as museum thief.
“it is always satisfactory to disentangle fact from fiction.”
#it’s too funny#I have a fever but I don’t think that’s why this book isn’t making sense#it’s like#if you assume this John Peter is actually Jean Paul and that the tambourine teacher had a walk named after them#then the bookseller is obviously the coin thief#3 people didn’t remember but 1 person did so you can’t say the man with uneven cheekbones didn’t pass through the gate#plus Marat said if you’re hungry you can steal things = had no respect for property#ergo the Maître is Marat#french revolution#marat

This is really nice for € 316,000 ($308,583) . It’s a 1st fl. apt. in an historic building in Nimes, France. It has 2 bds and 1 bath, with a great kitchen.
Isn’t this nice? It’s bright, airy, and very roomy. Plus, don’t forget, when I watch House Hunters International, the furnishings often go with the properties, which is pretty impressive.
The galley kitchen is modern and has a nice tile backsplash all around, with gray cabinetry and wood counters.
Bd. #1 has a little area outside for books and things, plus it has room for a desk, and there’s a door right there to go out to the courtyard.
Bd. #2 is much larger This is lovely.
A private courtyard wraps around the home. So pretty.

The Third Estate: The Bourgeois & Working Classes
Far from the neatly packaged term of "those who work" that described the third feudal order, the Third Estate of Bourbon France was a messy collection of everyone from the wealthiest non-nobles in the kingdom to the most impoverished beggars. It represented over 90% of the population, but the experiences of those in the upper tiers of the estate were vastly different from those in the bottom tiers. The first subgroup comprised the upper and middle classes known as the bourgeoisie, while the second refers to the working class and the unemployed. During the Revolution, this latter group became known as the sans-culottes (literally "without culottes"), a name denoting their poverty, since only the nobility and wealthy bourgeois wore culottes, fashionable silk knee-breeches.
The bourgeoisie was a steadily growing class. By 1789, about 2 million people could fall into this category, more than double the amount that there had been half a century prior. They controlled a massive share of national wealth; most industrial and commercial capital, almost one-fifth of all French private wealth, was bourgeois-owned, as was a quarter of land and a significant portion of government stock. The wealthiest bourgeois lived lives of luxury, not too dissimilar to the lifestyles of nobles. It was in vogue for a bourgeois family hoping to climb the social ladder to dress in silks, drink coffee imported from the West Indies, and decorate their homes with prints and wallpaper. According to scholar William Doyle, it was primarily bourgeois capital that built theatres in Paris and Bordeaux, just as it was the bourgeois who funded newspapers, colleges, and public libraries.
Doyle credits the rise of the bourgeois in the 18th century to the sudden "extraordinary commercial and industrial expansion” of that period (Doyle, 23). The fortunes of bourgeois families mostly originated from business and were secured through safe investments such as land. Besides Protestants and Jews, to whom social mobility was limited, bourgeois families rarely stayed in the business that enriched them for more than one generation, and money not invested in land would go toward superior education for their children. With this education, "the way was open to the professions, where mercantile origins could be forgotten" (Doyle, 24).
Reaching this status was seen as the goal for many bourgeois families, who would often stagnate on this comfortable, middle-class social rung. Yet not all bourgeois families were satisfied stopping at a middle-class status and, for those who had the money, higher ambitions were indeed attainable. As the financial crisis was becoming increasingly dire during the reign of Louis XVI, the government sold about 70,000 public offices, representing a combined worth of 900 million livres. Some of these venal offices were ennobling, others were hereditary once purchased, but all of them dramatically increased one's social standing. By the means of purchasing ennobling offices, over 10,000 bourgeois bought their way into the nobility during the 18th century.

the world cup is also funny because it always coincides with some major life transition point.....this year I just finished my redacted degree and passed my redacted exam and started a new job, last wc coincided with just finishing undergrad and moving to a new city, the wc before that was the summer after graduating highschool and before starting college, and before was between eighth and ninth grade right after i had an angsty mental breakdown and refused to go to school and insisted on homeschooling.... etc etc
#it's also funny because like. now for the first time i can actually accept that 2014 wc was eight years ago#i remember my friend and i broke into my dad's whisky and got super drunk and went all the way to the back of the property#and started up the mountain and then i just laid down in the grass drunkenly gushing over the french nt and pulling up photos of antoine#griezmann on my phone for like. an hour

I didn’t realize the Good Dinosaur was unpopular?
Like, bro, there is nothing I love more than feral humans, and Spot is as feral as they come and I love him. His design is super cute, he shows affection via fighting snakes, he bites. What’s not to love?
As someone who fucks up new things and immediately feels like I should die, Arlo is very relatable to me. As someone who doesn’t like to kill spiders or wasps, even though they’re dangerous and my family is very allergic to wasps, I can relate to his dilemma with Spot.
And I kind of like that the backgrounds are super realistic and the characters aren’t. I don’t know why, I just enjoy it ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯
Most of all, more than anything else, my niece is obsessed with dinosaurs. And, I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but most things with dinosaurs in them portray them very violently. A cutesy movie about a cutesy green dinosaur being cute is a welcome break from watching the same episode of Mickey Mouse Funhouse over and over and over (and over and over and over and over) again.
There’s a dinosaur on screen almost every second, this is very helpful for the tired auntie who is watching her two-year-old, dinosaur-obsessed niece all alone for six hours. An hour or so of assistance is a godsend, thank you, the Good Dinosaur.
#the good dinosaur#arlo#spot#animated film#this movie is underrated#admittedly i watched it in french the first time#but i had fun#and it made me cry#and not much makes me cry#i like it#and feral human is my fave genre#spot is ready and willing to piss on his property#and i support that#the inane ramblings of a madman#my personal thoughts#that nobody has to agree with#don’t worry if you feel differently#i’m cool with that
