Like a man possessed, I got to drawing this Rockstar AU for a character who literally never appears in the books beyond a few mentions. (I partially blame Kearwrights for encouraging this madness.)

Passionate about music, Auggie sets out to become a Rockstar and take care of his little brother, Laurent. The two are inseparable. Being a genius, Laurent even helps with some tracks and gets credited for his contributions. Everything is great—until Auguste overdoses and dies tragically.

Did their uncle, the CEO of a famous record label, have anything to do with it? Who’s to say.

But Laurent knew his brother was clean.

Having a historical figure as a special interest is rather embarrassing. Yes, that's my person. Yes, they've been dead for over a hundred years and I still have emotions about them. Seeing things that they owned or that were related to them makes me happy. I have Spotify playlists for them. I can tell you so much about their life that it would be very weird for a living person. Seeing historians get them wrong can and will make me frustrated for the rest of the day. I'd love to see them portrayed in a historical drama! Oh...wait, no, not like that. Definitely not like that. Forget I asked.

And this is all emotions for a long dead person. Humiliating.

You know I think Christopher Nolan should do some more research on the odyssesy. Like getting lost at sea for 10 years

clutuals have you seen this

hello! i wanted to ask you if you know something about these portraits. i suppose they are from one author, there's a lot of similarities in the style + they literally look paired!! i really want to know who's the genius that made this and if there is some kinda story behind it

Well i think this has to be filed under 19th century fanart, i.e. these portraits aren't contemporary. They also look very idealised and do not really resemble neither Goethe nor Schiller (except for characteristic features like Schiller's blond hair (that was actually ginger) and his open collar).

These portraits were used a lot for postcards and you'll find endless versions/copies of them:

The original artist might be Karl Jäger (1833-1857), although I'm not sure. It just was kind of his thing to paint or draw "famous men". It's very hard to tell though what version of these portraits is the original because there are so many of them. Jäger's wikipedia says that he did a lot of "grisailles" (grey paintings) so I think that maybe the two matching postcards above, the ones that have Jäger's name on them, might be the "originals" (here the print version).

The only (to my knowledge) contemporary painter who painted both is Gerhard von Kügelgen (1772-1820). However, even he painted his Schiller portrait after Schiller's death (1809) and used the 1794 bust by Dannecker and Schiller's death mask for reference.

Which leaves us with this wonderful drawing from 1804 by Johann Christian Reinhart as the only real contemporary depiction of both:

Johann Christian Reinhart btw was a friend of Schiller's and also left us these awesome Schiller drawings from 1787:
