The Internet Archive Is Under Attack

why am I simping for a character from a game that I didn't even play helppp–

uhhhh tw for suicidal ideation ig

I wish somebody would talk to me first, or ask me about what happened instead of me being the one asking if I could talk about something, but the fact that I'm even writing this just reveals how much of a pathetic loser I am so I guess I'm better off dead

Some other OCs (no drawings tho, sorry) (Also tw for mention of murder)

•Theodore Pellerin (1848-1924), Cosette's father, a solo pianist who also gave lessons to children from rich families. Was born to a working class family, earned his wealth from hard work. Also he's quite a wild lad on his youth XD

•Astoria Pellerin (nee Cardella) (1851-1924), Cosette's mother, a choir singer who was born to an aristocratic family from Italy. She moved to France with her godparents after the murder of her father (the murderer being her own mother). Because of the horrible things her mother did, she tried her best to be a better mother to her own children (and she succeeded). Met Theodore in 1874 and married him in 1876.

•Claude Pellerin (1877-1948), Cosette's older brother, a historian who loves to travel. He is the foster father of Charlotte Pellerin. He never got into a romantic relationship and is not interested about it.

•Joseph Guillaume (1850-1919), Louisette's father, an architect. Used to go to the same school with Astoria.

•Martha Guillaume (nee Bonnet) (1849-1925), Louisette's mother, an arts connoisseur. Went to the same university with Theo and is friends with him. Heaven knows how she kept up with his bs.

•Victoria Liddell (1911-1972), a singer who really idolized Cosette. She made some covers of her songs, and one of her covers ended up being more popular than Cosette's original song.(f in the chat for Cosette) (also this situation actually happened with the historical inspirations for Cosette and Vic)

people are playing games of telephone with information about palestine and sometimes it's harmless and sometimes it's not.

no. all of the hospitals in gaza have NOT been destroyed. all of them have been ATTACKED, none of htem are fully functioning anymore, but, NO, they are not all fully destroyed.

tweets by palestinians mourning the safety of the last FULLY FUNCTIONING hospital have been misconstrued as "no hospitals are left" and that misunderstanding leads to a sense of hopelessness that can translate into less medical aid going through to the hospitals that remain--damaged, attacked, more vulnerable than ever before but still standing.

israel has destroyed a large amount of the FUNCTIONALITY of all 36 hospitals but doctors are still doing their best within many of them. and need aid, calls for support, power.

i am once again on my KNEES begging y'all to not just spread one sentence tweets about the state of gaza from people who are... not in gaza. i am asking you to do more work to verify the information you spread.

So, my mom's friend gave me a whole set of pencils for sketch.. I don't even understand how to use them o_O

(There's a slight mention of an unhealthy relationship)

Louisette stepped out of her car. It's been a long drive from her hometown to Paris, the city her friend lived in. She stood in front of a two-story house and pressed the doorbell. A black-haired woman, wearing a simple dress, opened the door.

"Bonjour, Cosette," greeted Louisette.

"Oh,my! Mon amie, why didn't you tell me you're going to visit me? I would've dressed more neatly!" Cosette pulled Louisette into a hug. She hugged her for a while.

Louisette smiled. "You look much more happier than before, friend. Didn't hear anything about him?"

"No, except from that article you wrote last week!" Cosette said. "I don't know why did you publish it, Louisette. Being separated from him is already enough for me."

"He didn't work his way to fame, Cosette. He just rode on yours. And that man– that man wasn't grateful enough to treat you nicely. He hurted you! People should know about how bad that Beaumont was!"

Cosette sighed. "I didn't mean it that way. What I mean is, why are you doing so many things for me, Louisette? You wrote that novel dedicated to me, and you were there for me when I was with him, and now you let people know about how he mistreated me.. How can I thank you?"

"No need to thank me. It's just what friends do, you know, helping each other."

"I guess you're right. Wait, I didn't notice you were still outside! Come in, come in! Also, you haven't seen my daughter, Aurelie, haven't you?"

Louisette lets Cosette hold her hand, leading her to the kitchen. Cosette introduced her to Aurelie and Cosette's maid, Marie. She also met Cosette's cat, Nocturne. It felt relieving for her to see Cosette feeling better.

Maybe staying here for a few days isn't a bad idea, Louisette thought.

And she was right.

If there's no disclaimer about whose POV the story is, then it's Aloisia's.

Prologue :D !!

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?
