[After the arrest of Danton and Desmoulins] Lucile ran to Madame Danton to suggest that she come with her to go find Robespierre, ask him for an explanation, and recall the feelings of friendship which had attached him to their husbands. Madame Danton refused, saying that she wanted nothing from a man who had showed himself to be the enemy of her husband. (I obtained this particularity from Madame Danton herself, who was then pregnant. She gave birth fifteen days after Danton's death, but her child did not live.)
Histoire de la Révolution française (1850) by Nicolas Villiaumé, volume 4, page 55. This ties in well with the following anecdote that was first reported by Marcellin Matton (who presumably obtained it from Lucile’s mother Annette Duplessis) in his republished edition of Le Vieux Cordelier (1834):
Camille, the day after his arrest, wrote a letter to his wife to console her. One of Camille’s friends took it to Lucile: she read it while sobbing, and as he tried to console her: “It's useless,” she said, “I cry like a woman, because Camille. suffers, because without doubt they let him lack everything; because he does not see us.... But I will have the courage of a man, I will save him.... What to do? which of his judges must I supplicate? Which one should I attack openly? Would you like to take me to Philippeaux?”
”He has also been arrested, no doubt.”
”So the homeland no longer has defenders.... I am going to see Danton....”
”The same decree unites him to your husband.”
”Why have they left me free? Do they think that since I’m only a woman I won’t dare to raise my voice? Have they counted on my silence? I’m going to the Jacobins… I’m going to Robespierre’s house…”
Madame Duplessis and Camille's friend restrained her and urged her not to take any inconsiderate steps that could lose her and her husband as well; finally she agreed to remain quiet; but she wanted to write to Robespierre to ask him to save her husband, the letter remained unfinished and was never sent.

i just imagined the fictional matties surrounding you and complaining about everything you made them go through skskssksks
except atkh!matty - he would be too shy and grateful you gave him a job and a boyfriend
oaf!matty on the other hand... he is demanding ten more plushies, a lifetime supply of caramel sweeties and an engagement to fictional!george NEOW
Lol they are a for sure also all shouting over one another 😂 but yes, ATKH Fictional!Matty is so very grateful he has a job, he would have maybe appreciated like... an ice pack to lay on and having to not fall off as many horses but like he'll deal with the concussion since it means he has a job and a place to live. But you are very correct about OAF Fictional!Matty, he wants MORE plushies, ALL of the caramel snacks and also an engagement ring yesterday, if they're doing this they are DOING IT. Infection Verse Fictional!Matty is very happy with his engagement ring but also still pissed about the whole Fictional!George being the one to find him when he had food poisoning thing, he still gets embarrassed when he thinks about it 😬 He also wants to know why it had to take SO LONG for them to get back together. Ducklings Fictional!Matty is just like WHY WHY DO YOU HATE ME and YKWTCI Fictional!Matty just wants to know if his story is ever going to get an ending 😂
I am so amused by all of these Fictional!Matties interacting with one another asks omg keep them coming. I am so happy that you're enjoying my works and I hope that you continue to enjoy my fics! I also hope you are having the BEST Monday and that you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Arya made a face and hugged the wolfling tight. Nymeria licked her ear, and she giggled. (Arya I, AGoT)
--
“Girls don’t shave,” Arya said.
“Maybe they should. Have you ever seen the septa’s legs?”
She giggled at him. “It’s so skinny.” (Jon II, AGoT)
--
"Stay away?" Mercy giggled. She was a giggly sort of girl, was Mercy. "No. I've got to get closer." (Mercy, TWoW)
Mercy was a giggly sort of girl...and so was Arya, once upon a time.

thoughts on penny from stardew valley?
sorry if thats random
I don't mind her, but I don't really have any strong positive or negative feelings towards her either. I kind of nothing her sdkalfjas
She very much comes across as a victim of emotional abuse who just wants lots of babies and children, and as someone who personally is absolutely incredibly childfree, I could not be less interested in her character motivations if I tried. She's basically power-banging the storyline of 'how to fix my own mother issues with raising other people's children well and then having a ton of my own children' and it's like - more power to her, and she's extremely sweet as a character, but like...zero relatability. Probably one of the most two-dimensional characters that you can date.
OH, and I also HATE how much she's an ableist asshole to George and the game supports that. So yeah, wants tons of babies and is ableist. Like every character is flawed, Alex is an asshat, Sebastian is rude, Shane is actively cunty towards you for AGES, etc. but given I'm disabled, I take the ableist one personally. I guess my feelings do swing a bit negative now that I think about it. I have to skip that cut-scene every time we come to it.
I skip all of her cut scenes x.x
Like I doubt I could ever put her in a story of mine, unless I was writing characters concertedly interested in having children / raising children etc. and I'm just not interested in that.
So my perspective towards Penny is like 'you're good for the people who love you and I don't really have anything to do with you as a character.' I think the only reason she'd ever really be seen in Stain for example is maybe if Alex walks past Maru and Penny in town, or if Maru brings her up.

meinnnn gott i was like boy this song can't be 8 & a half minutes....well the first 6 minutes of the video are phyllidia krampington loosing george salazar the krampus on everyone & their asshole (here her cousin, b/c although i swear on my life i have seen [phyllidia seducing the krampus via baby it's cold outside] photos, in this 2018 show that sequence is definitely about her trying to fuck melvin cooterstein in the ass. (note that she mentions the xmas villain's long-lost daughter harriet, as the [why are you so evil? / i don't kneauuraeaough....but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with xyz] but no long-lost presumed dead spouse, who would've been already mentioned in the 2019 show at this point though that's no incontrovertible evidence it's not relevant in this show. & my hypothesis is that if melvin is a long-lost anyone, phyllidia would be His long-lost daughter. but 50/50 could go either way! a beautiful relationship ft. the convenience of all these colonoscopies he keeps scheduling)) and then we meet the fancy tree! and don't get around to singing until phyllidia's exit & the krampus's partial sendoff to go feel better having some snacks (i.e., mingle & meander)
