Viewing the NBC Hannibal series as an alternate universe instead of an adaptation of the novels would probably make things better for both fandoms tbh
Angrily ranting to him and begging him to take me back isn't enough I need to open up his head
Finished Red Dragon yesterday B)
Today, I finally realized something.
A lot of my family member's name is just a variant of the name "Louis".
It dated back from 1837, when Percival Chasterell,my fifth great-grandfather, named one of his sons Alois. Alois was born after Claus II, who was named after my sixth great-grandfather, Claus Chasterell.
And then, there's great-aunt Louisa, grandfather Alois II, great grandfather Aloysius, great-uncle Louis, cousin Lutz, aunt Mary Lou (yes, Lou is a variant of Louis), niece Louella, and of course, me, myself and I. Aloisia Chasterell.
It makes me wonder, you know? Why is there more people named after variants of Louis than people named after sixth great-grandfather Claus? He was a famous poet, playwright, and actor.. and yet there's only two people in his family named after another variant of his name: Claus II, and my sibling Claude.
I mean, Louis is a great name. It means 'famous warrior' or 'famous in battle'. But who is this Louis, or Alois, or whoever their name is, and what did they do to have more Chasterells named after them than Claus?
We were walking around in the exhibit. I found something related to my sixth great-grandmothers. But what truly catched my attention was an illustration with a touchscreen and some headphones below it.
"Tori?" I searched for her, but she's already in front of said screen. She looks fond of the illustration.
"Oh. Sorry for not noticing you, darling. I was.. distracted," she said, smiling guiltily. I examined the illustration. There were two men in typical 19th century clothing pulling each other to an embrace, although I couldn't determine which decade. Definitely made pretty recently, as the art style is very anime-ish, and I doubt 19th century artists ever knew about such things.
On the screen, there was only a play button. Tori and I wore the headphones and she pressed play. Classical music begins to play. I glanced at Tori. She looked like she was reminiscing about something.
"Aloisia, have I ever told you about the story behind this piece?"
"No, what is it?"
She sighed. "Well, the composer of this piece is my favourite composer. The meaning of his first name is connected to victory, just like me. And his lover, whom he dedicated this piece to.. well, his first and middle name is a variant of Louis and William, and your first and middle name.." I saw tears form on her eyes. "Aloisia Wilhelmina, is also another variant of those names too.."
"So you were thinking about us?"
"Yes."
I looked at her in the eye, and she understood what I wanted to say.
"You're allowed to."
We moved closer to each other and had our first kiss.
After visiting other exhibits, we returned to our own homes in the evening. I carefully put my shoes under the bed, but my hand hit something unfamiliar.
Anxiously, I tried to feel it. It feels like a knob. I decided to pull the knob upwards. It opened a small, discreet storage. There seems to be some papers inside. I randomly took one out, and it was a charcoal sketch of a man.
Under the man's sketch, there is his handwriting: Alois Vilhelm, self portrait, 1819, and on the other side of the paper, there is another handwriting that looked different to his: My Beloved, My Dearest Alois.
I guess I already knew who's this Alois my family members are named after. Just needed some little research about his connection with the family.
And definitely not now, because I'm already tired.
So, I already made a sketch of Claus Chasterell, and I might do the lineart tomorrow.. anyways if anyone wanna ask something about my OCs/me (:P) my asks are open :3 ! (I might not answer right away because time zones and stuff, sorry)
