If you were to rewrite Innocent or Innocent Rouge, what aspects would you change and why?

Good question! I'd rewrite some unrealistic events that happened in Innocent. Because— who, in 18th century France, would place a grumpy 11 year old girl as the Prévôté de L'hôte of Versailles? That wouldn't be likely at all especially when people during this time were heavily misogynistic. Maybe she'd claim the title realistically as a late adolescent, and was more wiser first.

The backstory of Zero. No way Marie Joseph gave birth to a baby all by herself during a fucking revolution. How the hell did they even survive that? Marie Joseph cut all her connections with her family and abandoned her occupation. Money wouldn't last her long in that kind of economy, and being a vagrant isn't exactly safe for her or her child. Especially since she's a first time mom with no experience with a baby. Like, there are things that even your research books can't answer, Marie.

How was Zero able to participate in society without a gender? Have proper education, and living? It's very modern thinking I admit, but bro how are you even living and breathing surrounded by a bunch of conservative folks? I would wanna shine a bit of light on Zero and Marie Joseph's growing lifestyle together.

Marie Joseph's character is fascinating. She's intelligent and ambitious and driven, but she's a bloody brute. Super fictional and too unreal. I'd rewrite her to be more human. The woman had experienced some trauma, but that was overlooked throughout the manga. Like I wish we have more background on that and how it affected her throughout her life. Strong feminist characters have vulnerable moments too and that's perfectly okay. But apparently not for Shinchi Sakomoto's characters. Just suffering because 'trauma builds character'.

Also, I won't hesitate to rewrite Marie Antoinette's entire character. I feel like Shinchi Sakomoto wrote her in the way Marie Antoinette was portrayed in media propaganda.

Her relationship with her bodyguard is very intriguing and I'm obsessed with it. But what are Marie Joseph's motives with starting an affair with the Dauphine in the first place? To piss off Du Barry for sleeping with her brother?? C'mon. And I'm pretty sure Antoinette would be initially self-conflicted with her romantic feelings for Marie Joseph. As she was a raised Catholic, taught to think "homo = no no". Someone like Antoinette, who's eager to please those around her and make a perfect impression... she'd hesitate before accepting Marie Joseph's hand. But then again, Antoinette thinks the more forbidden it was, the more exciting. I had hoped that Antoinette and Marie were set for on plot-road focused on complex infatuation and frustrating miscommunications. But no.

The ending of Innocent Rouge was also very rushed. Like whyyy?? Shinchi probably just wanted to get it done so he can focus on #DRLC.

Finally got my Innocent Bleu art book and that inspired me to finally finish this!

Also made a version to make it look close to the Innocent/Innocent Rouge covers as possible, for funsies!

Adieu, papa. Zero is going on a journey. Starting tomorrow, Zero won't be able to help out with executions anymore. Zero wants to see what there is after that meteor shower ends. Zero brought their favorite pants and skirt, and all the bread they could carry with them. And if Zero has no bread, Zero is sure someone will share some. So Zero will share bread with someone if they want it. As long as Zero does that, they can go anywhere!!! Okay, let's go! To the yet-unseen world. . .!!!!

Marie taking care of Sick Zero

Answer to letter sent by: @gentle-starlight

Warnings!: Not pre-read. I apologize since this was a bit rushed and might be shorter than expected. I also apologize for how much time this took!

A letter has been answered and sent back! Would you like to read it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plagues, Smallpox, disease ridden streets and such.

All were common among the bustling streets. Men and women, child to child.

Sore throats and coughing.

Zero coughed on the bed, Her helmet laid open. Her hair ribbons still done. Blood letting was tried, a few liquors here and there.

“Calm now.” Marie spoke picking up her child, but the coughing did not cease.

Marie taught Zero to be fearless, unafraid. But, by human, she was not immune to her health. A young child in the dirtied streets, much like the streets that carried a head on a stake, is bound to get ill in some way.

But, for now, Zero is still a weak child.

The child that will soon revolutionize death and fear.

My Fate phase goes on 😌

Featuring a bunch of characters from all over Fate universe because I cannot be contained apparently

Starting with my favourite Disney princess, Robin Hood.

And then Gil and Hakunon from Extra CCC. Gil somehow has all of my favourite sprites from any Fate media. I try to redraw them and I fail miserably, but at least I'm having fun. And Hakunon is too precious to be left out. So here they are.

And then Diarmuid being treated like the babygirl he is. And Artoria living her best life as well

And then switch to something more moody incomes... Yeah, this artdump is all over the place. Anyways, I really like Sanson. A lot. I'm weak to bright blue eyes, long coats and characters deeply intertwined with death.

And now, ❗cw: blood❗

I saw that one post about a hawaiian shirt covered in blood again and immediately thought of Cu.

That's it. Thanks for viewing my art :]

FFXIV WRITE 2023: DAY EIGHT (SHED)

link to the ao3 post for my entries | day five | day six | day seven

shed [verb] - (of a mammal) to lose hair or fur as a result of molting, disease, or age. - wolguydesan + wolzero implied. set after 6.4. 619 words.

The first warm day of spring comes sooner than predicted, a welcome balm to the still-frayed nerves of those affected by the Final Days. It's as if the star itself is singing a song of hope to rejuvenate its inhabitants—though, Sanson concedes to himself, he might also be a little too influenced by all of the bards he's surrounded by as of late.

Two of said bards snap to attention as he approaches them, saluting to him as is usual before he waves to put them at ease.

"I assume Lieutenant Thildonnet isn't here yet?" He inquires, voice dry in its exasperation. One of the recruits only has a moment to look hesitant before a familiar voice comes from behind his head.

"If I'm here before you, does that mean I get to call it and enjoy this fine day without any teaching?" Sanson scowls, cheeks coloring as he turns to regard Guydelot. The bard is smirking like a smug fool, as usual, holding his harp loosely in one hand as he reaches out to pluck at something on Sanson's jacket.

"No, it does not—hey!" He swats at his hand lightly before continuing, "No, you still have to teach today. Just because you're early doesn't mean that you get to…"

Slowly, Sanson trails off as he registers the tuft of fur pinched in Guydelot's fingers, face growing redder once he recognizes it. It's a dark blue-gray, the lightest bits of yellow on the tips, and much to his horror more of it comes off on his glove as he swipes where Guydelot had touched. Guydelot's expression only grows mirthful as he watches.

"I wasn't early, Chief. It's half past the eighth bell," he informs him.

Sanson feels as if he's being set alight.

Only staring at the fur a split second longer, he spins back around and begins barking orders to the recruits, with them hurrying to obey. Guydelot leans with his arm on Sanson's shoulder as they escape, ignoring how he fumes as he twirls the tuft between his fingers.

-

Zero takes the water skein Estinien offers her gratefully, taking deep pulls from it in between panting breaths.

Their training has become something of a ritual for them, taking the mornings to spar alone from the rest of the Host and in their own private space given to them by Vrtra in Radz-at-Han. Though Thavnair did not change much between the seasons, the alchemists had informed her that it was turning to spring; she understood it to signify how much time had passed, her strength only growing with each day.

Neither of them say anything as they recuperate from their latest match, not exactly conversationalists. Still, it's a companionable silence, Estinien only giving a grunt of thanks as Zero passes back the skein to him and he takes his own drink.

"Didn't know you have red hair," Estinien breaks the quiet, only after gulping down the rest of the water.

Zero stares at him blankly. "My hair is not red."

Wordlessly, Estinien reaches forward to pluck at the fabric wrapped around her neck, an element she still stubbornly clings to wearing despite having traded out her regular armor for lighter clothes. He draws back to show her a single long hair, wiry and straight, and, indeed, bright red.

"That's Remember's" she says, bluntly. Estinien looks at her, expression unreadable.

"And how exactly did their hair get onto your scarf?" Zero couldn't place the tone in his voice, though others better versed in such things could say it was teasing.

In lieu of answering, Zero stands again and reaches for her scythe. Estinien makes another noise to himself, amused, but doesn't push it as he stands to join her.

[cyniibar]

Any hcs on Andre and Marie in general? Or maybe hcs on their life in England shortly after escaping France by the end of Rouge?

WOOHOO ! The weekend is finally here! I can answer this question:

Andre is an optimistic little sunshine. He sees light in every aspect of his broken world. And despite his hardships and his endless suffering, his faith in the Lord never faltered for a second. The old man sings hallelujah 24/7 ever since he came to England. Adapted easily, immune to insults and discrimination considering he once was a peasant from the slums of Paris. Andre was very grateful to have experienced a life outside of France. Starting anew, exploring onto foreign soil with his beloved mistress...

Meanwhile his mistress is currently drowning in this depression that awoken a new kind of agony even more unbearable than the torture she underwent through. Marie Joseph feels like she somehow.... lost.

Defeated by Robespierre, and fled like a coward to escape persecution instead of facing it with ferocity and courage like she had in the past when going against most obstacles in her life. Marie Joseph is not one to regret, but oh, is she constantly flooded with thoughts of "what ifs". If only she had made the move first, drew blood first, or perhaps fought back against the iron troops. But the thought that digs knives inside her guts; is that she should've made a figure of herself worth admiring. For her child, at least. Marie Joseph longed to be the mother that Zero was proud of, and looked up to. Because to Marie Joseph, Zero is the one reason for her existence. Hell was heaven when Zero was brought into her world. Now, they were apart forever because Marie Joseph didn't or couldn't attack the Jacobins first.

Also, Marie Joseph is constantly being haunted with the thoughts of Marie Antoinette. Her dreams are plagued by the Dauphine she knew decades ago. And those memories of Antoinette frustrated her. That foolish queen stayed vain and arrogant to the very end, the most infuriating out of all the aristocrats she ever met. Antoinette, the brat who prioritized her nobility, than all the efforts Marie Joseph made to ensure her safety. Then gradually, she goes through a phase of denial; I gave her a choice, and she chose to act on her own selfish wishes. The shallow queen did not deserve any ounce of generosity. Marie Joseph's denial eventually morphs into guilt.

On some occasions, amongst the busy crowd, there would be English girls ranging from 13-18 in age, with rosy complexions, pale blonde curls, dressed with feminine elegance... Marie Joseph would then do a double look, (not in an attracted kind of way, like Humbert Humbert with his nymphette obsessions) but making sure she isn't just seeing Antoinette again.

Marie Joseph had weakened, left paralyzed for a long period because of the torture during the Revolution. She couldn't escape her anguish, let alone exit her room without assistance. The indomitable Marie Joseph Sanson, reduced to an 'old retarded woman'. For a while, she refused any aid from Andre. Pushed him away and dealt with her physical and mental pain herself. Changed her own bandages, rehabilitated her body on her own. Desperate for action and desperate for strength. Soon, she realized she didn't have the ability to be fully independent as she once was. Only then did she reluctantly called for Andre, once in a long while.

Andre like the worried housewife he is, rushed in, face stained with tears while he helped his mistress. An epiphany occurred to Marie Joseph then, that there will be people like Andre to pull her up when ever she's in the lowest of 'pathetic' like this. She learned to appreciate him more and his help, interacting with him the same as before, but just with less insults and mockery and more equal maturity as she grew even older.

Marie Joseph found a purpose later on, with educating children in need. As they reminded her so much of Zero. She found peace. Found the change she so desired. Her relationship with God got better... somewhat. But Marie Joseph was still the same. Still brave and adventurous, and funny and intelligent. Just more sensible. She can't really act on impulses now, her body never recovered fully.

As Marie Joseph was finally having the life she fought so hard to have, she began to battle with an illness that she couldn't avoid. She had accepted her fate. And in her last hours, only Andre was at her side. She reassured him calmly through his sobbing tears, expressed her gratitude for having him remain with her all her life, and passed away with the thoughts of her Zero.

Andre lived on, taking care of the school in memory of the admired teacher Marie Joseph, he told the tales of Marie Joseph Sanson that were eventually forgotten.

*slides you some monopoly money* Please would you tell us if you have any headcanons for how Rereha dealt with the Disaster Gay Couple (Sanson and Guydelot) during the Bard questline?

So Rereha knows you cannot force things when it comes to romance and/or sexual tension. You can poke and prod and nudge and encourage, but you cannot be forceful. It spooks the idiots morons individuals involved.

Sanson and Guydelot drove her fucking spare. Worse than Synnove and Aymeric, because that was a when and not an if.

Guydelot, like Rere, is a ho, but he's the kind of ho who doesn't immediately pick up on anything less than blatant attraction from the other party. Sanson I see as a flavor of demi with a hefty dose of hyperfixated on his goals, so he wouldn't recognize having a crush if it punched him in the stomach. Put these two together and you have constant sniping and growling and teasing and incredible amounts of sexual tension that neither are aware of.

Rere spent a number of nights flopped on the ground in Grandpa Jehantel's camp, staring up at the canopy while Jehantel strummed his harp or tuned her violin for her, and whined incessantly about how fucking stupid the pair were with zero indication either of them understood what hints she kept dropping. Jehantel just laughed at her.

She definitely screeched "FINALLY" at full volume when they finally got a clue and had their first sloppy makeout after defeating the Siren.

[nijohirjesyho]

53!

Weirdly Specific OC Questions!

53. Who would / do they believe without question?

I'm pretty sure Alisaie could tell him anything and he'd immediately accept it. I would say his best friend Amasar ( @morgmot ) but Amasar has habit of lying for the sake of a joke. A hobby Nijoh'ir participates in, and I don't think Amasar typically does it to him, so yeah we can say Amasar.

His moms and his brother Ra.

This may be an odd choice, but Estinien. He could show up, say "come on, we're doing *insert insane sidearc here*." and Nijoh'ir would go "cool."

Cyella, now that she's been open with him, and the bounty hunters (save MAYBE Giott). Zero, Jullus. Guydelot and Sanson. Anyone from the Archer's Guild.

It's a pretty long list at the end of the day, tbh. Once Nijoh'ir considers you family, his faith and trust in you is basically unwavering, so if you've earned his trust, he will trust again without question.

Heavens help you if you betray that.

[hologramblue]

okay. ffxiv writer identity matter under the cut, spoilers for shaaloani msq and all prior xpac stuff.

my theories were debunked in places by an ishikawa comment from like a year ago that i didn't see back then due to lol

but i went from "i think hiroi might have done amh araeng?" to "hiroi absolutely did amh araeng" within like twenty seconds of not-magnus walking on screen. DT whipped the train freaks (affectionate) out of its pocket with an enthusiasm i'm used to seeing from ishikawa reminding us that haurchefant and ysayle existed.

the wife getting unfridged made a few things click in my head though and i can't really spell it out rn so i'm just gonna put a bunch of names next to each other and hope you see what i'm seeing about hiroi's characterization tendencies (i don't know where to draw the line in ivalice stuff btwn matsuno's work and hiroi's contributions so it's just vibes sorry):

1) guydelot and sanson, thancred and urianger, lyon and menenius, erichthonios and themis

2) mikoto, tesleen, lilja, misija, hegemone, athena, nitowikwe

3) the redbills, the trolley/train guys, the pandaemonium staff, claudien's team, jenomis' theatre company

with these two things plus some other in mind, i have two more theories abt hiroi's work: i think he did a significant amount of eden, and i think in EW thavnair was his pet zone

eden: "why wouldn't he get credited for this if he got credited for pandemonium" probably to avoid distracting from the star factor of Nomura Was Here? but also there's some strong ishikawa fingerprints on eden too so i'm not sure it was a single-writer thing. besides the writer signature shit, note how ishikawa worked on coils, alexander, and omega, then ascended to msq lead. and hiroi did panda before he became msq lead.

anyways in writer signs you've got the aetherology technobabble and story progression heavily grounded in material logic, the thancred-urianger rapport, and ryne's development goes in a distinctly Hiroi Heroine direction. i'm so much a fan of that thing that i'd actually forgotten how meek she is in msq, even after her name change. in eden she takes on hiroi's two favorite qualities in female characters: technical competence (she becomes, like, a mission-command aether-hacker!) and being brave to the point of hingelessness in service of her convictions (e8, final cutscene). also, the quests since eden that have gone back to acknowledge what happened in eden have all been (drumroll) void stuff. and who's the void's number one fan

thavnair: look at those three lists above and add vrtra and ahewann to 1, nidhana to 2, and the alchemists of the great work to 3. back out and squint at the overall flavor of thavnair and radz-at-han sidequests. consider the integration between the 6.x void story which was absolutely hiroi-and-WG (iirc they were credited outright?) and vrtra's character and thavnair and radz-at-han in general. also the weird lines between the mord souq food jokes, EW miner/botanist, and the goofiness about zero and spicy food

[innocentnouveau]

Throughout Innocent Rouge, Zero refers to themselves in way that is clear to readers that they're nonbinary, and it's implied that Marie's (extreme) way of raising them was a factor. In 18th century Europe and America, it was still a prevalent thought that sex and gender identity were one and the same (sadly a belief that hasn't really gone away for some people in today’s world).

There are only a couple of sources that mentioned that real life Marie and Jean-Louis had a child. "La guillotine et les exécuteurs des arrêts criminels pendant la révolution", written by  G. Lenôtre in 1893, was the only source that mentions that Marie and Jean-Louis had one daughter (Page 212, Ch. 10)

"At the same time, there was still a daughter of Jean-Louis Sanson, former master of high works in Reims, before 1791, who had married his first cousin Marie Josephe Sanson. This daughter was a laundress in Paris in 1819."

When it comes down to it, it's highly likely that Zero would've been AFAB (assigned female at birth).
