Quais são as famílias consideradas a elite de Storydom?

Anônimo enviou uma ask: Mod existe uma hierarquia de prestígio entre as famílias? Você poderia dizer qual é? Obrigade

Vou responder, amores, mas ó! Tenho que ressaltar que isso tem nas páginas, nos skeletons, e num geral por tudo no RP. Dá pra sacar quem é prestigiado e quem é julgado por X ou Y motivo. Vale a releitura dessas coisas porque é bem importante para a trama.

Considerados ELITE, excluindo Merlin, Feiticeiro e o rei:

Famílias que compõem o Conselho (Charming, Malyeek*, Adormecidos, Boo, Marmoreal*, Triton*, Hofferson, Hawkins, Darling*)

Fantastic

Crystal

Kuzco

Li*

La Bouff**

D’Orleans

Dubois

Dunbroch

Snoball*

Snaer*

Fitzherbert*

Lembrando que elite =/= prestígio. Coloquei um * nas famílias que, por algum motivo, não recebem nenhum prestígio. O caso da segregação dentro da segregação. 

Darling: Peter fugiu, até hoje a sociedade arthuriana se choca com isso, e eu ainda diria que a Wendy não é elite, ela só é conselheira porque precisavam de alguém pra representar a Terra do Nunca e as fadas não quiseram.

Li: divórcio.

Marmoreal: são do País das Maravilhas. Lá é a família mais prestigiada, óbvio, mas ninguém “liga” para os wonderlanders em Arthurian.

Snoball e Snaer: apesar de serem da elite, os outros da elite não levam a sério a Anna e também pensam que a Elsa é fechada demais para eles.

Fitzherbert: Rapunzel e Flynn são ausentes.

Triton: a Ariel foi excluída pelas outras princesas.

Malyeek: aqui entra no meio termo. Por conta do Aladdin, o prestígio deles fica mais lá em baixo, no Castigo. Os arthurianos torcem o nariz pra conduta do Aladdin, mas a opinião da Jasmine ainda é super estimada, como consta mais abaixo.

Asterisco duplo para a Charlotte que poderia ter caído na falta de prestígio por ter tido vários relacionamentos, mas acabou que graças a Princess Life, que todas as princesas amam, ela recobrou o prestígio.

Prestigiados, em ordem de ADORAÇÃO DO PÚBLICO, excluindo Merlin, Feiticeiro e o rei:

Família Fantastic (os Steve Jobs né)

Família Hawkins (porém, apesar de prestigiado e cheio de fãs, o Jim ainda é visto como uma opinião fraquíssima e muitos não gostam da colocação dele no Conselho)

Família Adormecidos (donos da indústria de cinema e teatro, ou seja, Hollywood)

Família D’Orleans (Naveen é Naveen, Tiana é Tiana)

Família Charming (por serem os Charmings)

Família Crystal (pelo império de sapatos + a fama de ser a família da Cinderella)

Família Kuzco (porque se o Kuzco não tivesse prestígio ele acabava com o reino)

Família La Bouff (mencionado acima)

Família Snoball (por causa da Anna e seus livros)

Família Hofferson (principalmente por conta da Astrid no Knights)

Família Dunbroch (pelo passado da Merida como jogadora do Knights também)

Família Boo (todo mundo no fundo odeia a Fada Madrinha, mas ela é dona do Bibbidi, e lá é onde tão as fofocas, então fazer o quê?)

Quase saindo da lista, Família Li. Gostam das lutas, gostam de acompanhar o drama, mas eles recebem muito julgamento pelo divórcio.

E, é claro, menção honrosa aos Dubois. Não dá pra classificar eles, porque né... é mais questão de honrar/homenagear a memória da Belle e do Adam.

Prestigiados, em ordem de “opinião mais importante”, excluindo Merlin, Feiticeiro e o rei:

David Charming

Fada Madrinha

Jasmine Malyeek 

Eric Triton

Phillip Adormecido

Esse é o top 5 no Conselho!

Tradição antiga do Festival do Salvador, brincadeira “TOMATO-A-VILLAIN” deverá voltar esse ano e com novidade especial!

Toda criança arthuriana já brincou de TOMATO-A-VILLAIN durante o Festival do Salvador. É uma brincadeira simples, mas muito divertida: projeções ultra realistas dos mais temidos e famosos vilões aparecem em fileira. O objetivo do jogo é ficar atirando tomates neles para impedir que tentem rogar uma maldição no jogador. Caso falhe em derrotar o vilão, a criança ganha orelhas e rabo de burro pelos próximos trinta minutos no Festival. 

A brincadeira que sempre gerou muito divertimento no evento de maior importância do reino foi banida há alguns anos, após a integração dos castigados na Academia, por decreto de Rei Arthur. 

No entanto, para o festival desse ano, o Conselho votou a favor da volta do jogo! A ideia foi de Phillip Adormecido, reporta o próprio, mas teve grande apoio de David Charming, Fada Madrinha e até de celebridades que não compõem o Conselho, mas foram informados da decisão. Além dos Guardiões (Toothiana, Jack Frost, North, Sandman e Bunnymund), Hans Westergaard, Naveen D’Orleans, Charlotte La Bouff, Kuzco I, Li Shang e Mushu também comemoraram a volta da tradição em suas contas do Wisher e Spellgram, postando fotos antigas de quando também brincaram e ganharam orelhas e rabos pela tarde!

“Só curtição, galera! kkkkkkk Lottie com orelha e rabo de burro no #festivaldosalvador há alguns anos. A titi nem quis aparecer na foto... mas ela também ganhou as dela! Kkkkk” Naveen D’Orleans escreveu em publicação para o Spellgram. Na foto, Charlotte La Bouff aparece fazendo biquinho, emburrada, com orelhas de burro e rabo. A editora-chefe da Princess Life comentou: “DELETA ISSO NAVEEEEEEEN 😭😭😭😭“ e depois “ESSE ANO VC E A TITIII ME PAGAM!! VOU GANHAR 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻”

“É só uma brincadeira, não faz mal a ninguém! As crianças até deixavam os vilões vencerem só para saírem correndo por aí com orelhas e rabos de burro. Todos achávamos divertido. Foi uma pena que tenha sido interrompida a tradição por motivos tão bobos. Vai ofender quem?” contou Phillip Adormecido, conselheiro e ator, em relato para o Bibbidi News.

Ainda com a volta da tradição, teremos uma reviravolta especial no evento desse ano: alvos reais estarão presentes no festival. Isso mesmo! Dois vilões conhecidos virão diretamente do Castigo para servirem como alvos das crianças durante a tarde do Dia do Salvador. 

Os vilões convidados ainda não foram revelados e o Conselho pretende deixar em segredo, assim como o funcionamento da brincadeira com os alvos, até o grande dia!

Chevalier de Lorraine: I am well-versed in avoiding trouble

Also the Chevalier de Lorraine: was arrested, imprisoned and exiled

[stele3]

I’m losing my MIND over here.

So I’m starting to write this graphic novel Les Chevaliers. It’s the true-ish story of Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Chevalier D’Eon. SG was the son of a French nobleman and a slave who went on to become a violin virtuoso and composer; some called him the Black Mozart. D’Eon was a genderbender who dressed as a woman to infiltrate the court of the Russian empress and as a man to fight in the French dragoons during the Seven Years’ War. Both were championship-level fencers and though they were contemporaries the only known rmeeting was an exhibition duel organized by the Prince of Wales while D’Eon was in political exile in London and SG happened to be in town in the service of Phillipe, duc d’Orleans.

That duel happened in 1787. That same fucking year, SG went back to France and wrote an opera called La Fille garçon (”The Girl-Boy”) about a girl who was disguised as a boy by her mother so that she would have a male heir to provide for her after her eldest son and husband both die in battle.

At the time, D’Eon was claiming that as their* exact origin story. Due to political reasons that are too complicated to get into here, they* needed to invent a backstory that would make them* sympathetic to the French court. How true that backstory is...well, that’s deeply questionable.

Here I am trying to invent all sorts of potential meetings between the two and. He just. Wrote an entire opera about them*. Just a whole-ass opera. That’s not something you do for someone you just met on the casual! And I haven’t seen any historian make this connection in any of the books or articles I’ve read about either SG or D’Eon! What the fuck!

*I use they/them pronouns for D’Eon but it’s impossible to know what pronouns they would sincerely have used in the past or now. They identified as male or female at different points out of basic survival and even their biological sex is disputed.

Part of the reason that the Gritty Leading the People image is so perfect is the fact that Biden has enormous Louis Phillipe d’Orlean energy

[madame-coquette]

My hatred for Louis - Philippe: Duc d’Orleans is unparalleled, even my hatred for Eve/Kristin in Seconds Apart pales in comparison. 

He was a bastard: Louis Auguste was sentenced to death by majority of a singular vote ... that of his cousin ... Phillipe Égalité ( Formerly: Duc d’ Orleans ). My only solace is in that stupid fucker getting his just desserts - he was guillotined on the same scaffold as Louis XVI before the year was out in November of 1793. 

That is EXACTLY what power hungry bastards deserve: Death™.

Anne of Austria was born Infanta of Spain & of Portugal and Archduchess of Austria on the 22nd of September, 1601, at the Palace of the Counts of Benavente in Valladolid, Spain, and was baptised Ana María Mauricia. She was born to Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria. Anne was their eldest child who would go on to affectionately take care of her younger siblings after her mother’s very young death. She married Louis XIII of France in 1615 and after many years had two sons, Louis XIV of France, known as ‘The Sun King’ who she was regent for and Phillip I, Duke d’Orleans.

“Love and Humility are the sweet bonds of our marriage:” A Book of Hours owned by the wife of a French Catholic propagandist of the 16th century, and the Governor of Pennsylvania!

Fifty-two discoveries from the BiblioPhilly project, No. 7/52

Book of Hours, Use of Paris, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1924‑19‑1, fol. 24r (miniature of the Annunciation from the Hours of the Virgin)

Books of Hours are highly mobile objects that can often accrue fascinating later histories. Because of their deeply personal nature, they can become associated with historical persons either through legend or fact (or a combination of the two). Only relatively rarely, however, does one later owner purchase a book on account of its earlier ownership history. One such example is a fairly modest Parisian Book of Hours acquired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1924 (accession number 1924‑19‑1). Unlike the later ensembles of illuminated manuscripts donated to the museum by Samuel and Vera White or Philip S. Collins, this manuscript was not published or described upon its entry into the collection.[1] Its only existing description comes from Seymour de Ricci’s Census of Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the United States and Canada and its later Supplement, produced by C.U. Faye and W.H. Bond.

In both Census volumes, the manuscript’s early provenance with the Duderé family in France is briefly recorded, as is its later ownership in the United States by Samuel W. Pennypacker, 23rd Governor of Pennsylvania (1843–1916), who served from 1903 to 1907 (and to whom we shall return). The Duderé provenance is evident through two unequivocal inscriptions within the manuscript. The first, on folio 1r, reads:

1924‑19‑1, fol. 1r, with ownership inscription of Michelle Duderé dated to 1577

Ces heures apartiennent a damoyselle Michelle du Deré femme de Me Loys Dorleans aduocat en la court de Parlement et lesquelles luy sont echeues par la succession de feu son pere Me Jehan Duderé conseiller du roy & auditeur en sa chambre des comptes, 1577; Amour & Humilité sont les doux liens de nostre mariage.

(“This Book of Hours belongs to Lady Michelle du Deré wife of Mr. Louis d’Orléans advocate in the court of Parliament and it descended from her deceased father Mr. Jean Duderé counsellor of the King and auditor in his chamber of accounts. 1577. Love and Humility are the sweet bonds of our marriage.”)

It thus transpires that the book was in the possession of Michelle Duderé, wife of the noted French Catholic League pamphleteer Louis Dorléans (1542–1629).[2] In addition to being known for authoring numerous religious tracts, Dorléans was also an occasional poet, and wrote some bucolic verses replete with thinly-veiled references to his beloved wife, but also to his former mistress Catherine de la Sale![3] Interestingly, some of his writings also show an unusual knowledge of Middle French poetry; he even donated a fourteenth-century French translation of the Golden Legend to a Minim convent in Paris in 1561 (Paris, Bibliothèque Mazarine, ms. 1279). Michelle Duderé, as she herself tells us in the inscription, had inherited the Book of Hours from her father, Jean Duderé, notary and secretary to the French king, whose principal historical importance seems to have been his invocation in a seventeenth-century lawsuit concerning the inheritance of such royal appointments. It appears that the manuscript was then gifted by Michelle Duderé’s blind son to a cousin once-removed, a certain G. Duderé, for on the verso of the first folio we read another French inscription, written some seventy-three years later:

1924‑19‑1, fol. 1r, with ownership inscription of G. Duderé dated to 1650

Ce présent livre m’a esté donné par feu monsieur d’Orléans, fils de mademoiselle d’Orléans nomée Michelle Duderé lequel estoit aveugle et qui estoit digne de cette affliction, mon cousin germain, G. Dudere 1650… les figures qui sont à genoux dans les ymages de ce livre sont de feu damoiselle Michelle de Sauslai [?] mère de deffunct mon frère.

(“This present book was given to me by the late Monsieur D’Orleans son of Madame D’Orleans named Michelle Dudere. He was blind and worthily bore this affliction, my cousin once removed. G. Dudere 1650… the figures which are on their knees in the pictures of this book are portraits of the deceased demoiselle Michelle de Sauslai [?], mother of my deceased father.”)

   1924‑19‑1, fols. 124r and 130r (miniature of the Virgin and Child with Angel with a female donor; miniature of the Trinity with an Angel holding the Crown of Thorns with a female donor)

The supposition that the two donor portraits (on folios 124r and 130r; illustrated above) contained in the book depict a certain “Michelle de Sauslai” (?), grandmother of the owner alive in 1650 is manifestly incorrect, since the book dates from the fifteenth century. But there is no reason to doubt the other pieces of evidence situating the book with the Duderé family early in its history.

Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker (1843–1916)

This is all fine and well, but how did the manuscript come to be owned by the Governor of Pennsylvania, Samuel Pennypacker? Pennypacker was a noted jurist, trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and local history enthusiast who collected a large amount of material related to the early German and Dutch settlement of South-Eastern Pennsylvania, most of which is today preserved at the Pennypacker Mills house museum. Other manuscripts once owned by Pennypacker that are still in Philadelphia include another Book of Hours (Lewis E 116) and a series of astronomical tables followed by a short text concerning astrology and planetary movements (Lewis E 3), both of which are today in the Free Library. These manuscripts were all auctioned off in the Pennypacker sale in 1906, together with a small number of other manuscripts. Additionally, for the present manuscript, the Faye and Bond supplement to de Ricci’s Census includes the name of an additional owner, the noted Chestnut Hill philanthropist, John Story Jenks (1839–1923). Jenks was a great supporter of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art (the precursor of the Philadelphia Museum of Art), as a short obituary confirms.[4] It was he who left the manuscript to the museum upon his death.

Portrait of John Story Jenks (1839–1923) by Alice Mumford Roberts

So why did Governor Pennypacker purchase this particular French Book of Hours, prior to its acquisition and donation by Jenks? The answer is provided in an all-but-forgotten issue of a regional historical journal, The Perkiomen Region, Past and Present, published in March of 1901 by Henry S. Dotterer (1841–1903). The short article, entitled “A Sumptuous Devotional Book,” vividly describes the book and asserts that the Governor:

…purchased it because he felt convinced that the family of Duderé mentioned in the inscription was identical with an old Pennsylvanian family—that of Doderer, Dotterer, Dudderer, Duttera, Dudderow. This conviction induced him to pay the large sum quoted for it by the foreign bookseller [i.e. James Tregaskis of London], and to bring it, after a service of more than three centuries, from its native France to the New World.

To find the connecting links from the Duderés of the Sixteenth century to the Dotterers of the Twentieth century would be a great genealogical achievement. Doderers and Dotterers appear in various parts of Europe prior to the date of the arrival, about 1722, of George Philip Dodderer, or Dotterer, in Pennsylvania. Tradition, in some instances, asserts that the Pennsylvania immigrants were of French origin; but not uniformly so, for Alsace, Baden, Wurtemberg and Austria are also named as the place of their nativity. We have unbounded respect for Judge Pennypacker’s insight into genealogy, ethnology, and the kindred sciences, and it will therefore not be a surprise to us if research shall ultimately prove that his intuitions are correct.[5]

The prominent Dotterer family of Pennsylvania was established by George Phillip Dotterer (ca. 1676–1741), who was born in Baden-Württemberg and died in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1741. George’s father Hans is thought to have been born in the same region of Germany as his son around 1650. However, this family’s link to the prominent Catholic Duderés of France remains tenuous. As such, Governor Pennypacker’s assumption remains unlikely; perhaps his doubts led him to sell the book on in his 1906 sale. In any case, both G. Duderé’s misattribution of the portraits in the book and the dubious linkage to the Dotterer dynasty made by Governor Pennypacker demonstrate the extent to which an unsuspecting manuscript can become the subject of historical wishful thinking.

[uinen-harth-estraven]

hey there! So I just wanted to know..

I have an idea for months now,about Philippe D’Orleans from the Versailles tv show..mixed with Lord Of The Rings..like you are Mirkwood’s queen,that lost her husband Thranduil on a war and she’s left with her kids.So you rule the elven world until a day king Louis sends you a letter,about the marriage of his brother Philippe and your daughter.Due to the horrible things you’ve heard about what happens in Versailles you send a letter to Louis to let him know that you don’t let your daughter marry Philippe,so after a lot of talking with the king,you’re the one that has to marry him..so the whole thing is about the relationship between you,Phillipe and Chevalier..

do you wanna see that??

[mcnsieur]

what drew you to writing phillipe?

{ ask me things - x }

Truth be told part of it was Alex Vlahos (cause I played BBC Mordred for years). I started writing Philippe right when S1 ended, before I had even seen the show Versailles. But I had seen the gifs, and I could picture Alex’ voice, and I just loved what he was doing with the character.

The other part was my love of Louis XIV and his brother. I have always loved Man in the Iron Mask the continuation of the tale of the Three Musketeers, but dealing with Louis and a secret twin, not the Duke d’Orleans unfortunately (which makes it very hard to remind Musketeers RPers that Anne was very patronizing to Philippe and not the perfect godsend of a mother but I am digress). I have always loved the time period. I remember in 10th grade when we were learning about the monarchs and having to memorize the family trees to help us with AP European History, that I was made that Philippe’s portion of the tree was cut off, and like all his kids, and grand kids were not attributed to him, even though he is the Grandfather of Europe. Hell even the king of France is later related to him. I actually looked at the history book about a year ago and got angry because they didn’t even spell Philippe’s name right, and they didn’t give him his title (not the Monsieur part, the Duke part).

I have a deep love of history, and the more I researched about this man and his ways, the more I fell in love with who he was, and why I desire to keep his story alive. Especially the more historical aspect of him.

[littlewritingrabbit]

I think the only time when France was “okay” with homosexuals around this era was during the rule of King Louis XIV. This is because his younger brother, Philippe, was very open about his love for men and crossed dressed at court sometimes while at Versailles. So because royalty was seen as a god given right, they had to accept it. I’m not sure if this all completely correct or accurate, you can find more on the Versailles website.

Ohhh that makes more sense. I have to admit, that’s something I’ll have to read up on because despite seeing his house one (1) time, I really don’t know anything about Phillippe other than the shoes story. 

Doesn’t Cardi B have a song about bloody shoes? Someone will have to ask her what inspired it, because the original red-shoed party-goer was Phillipe d’Orleans. Apparently he was the guy to go to for fashion, and whatever he wore, everyone else would copy. So one night, tired of the glamor and sparkle of Versailles (somehow???) him and his friends went into town and visited all the inns and got absolutely pickled, so much so that they went dancing in the streets. Specifically the street where the butcher’s shop was, which was all covered in blood, and which left their shoes also all covered in blood. I guess someone must have seen them stumbling home at some ungodly hour, because the next morning when Phillipe woke up, he noticed that everyone at Versailles was wearing red shoes. “Who the heck started this trend??” he asked, probably more eloquently, and someone said, “It was you, sir!” And that’s when his gaze must have fallen on the bloodstained shoes he had kicked off the night before and realized, yeah, it was him, completely by accident! 

Credits to an overly-enthusiastic tour-guide (who managed to get us locked in the courtyard of the house of the guy who invented the guillotine. it was wonderful.) for this story, which comprises pretty much everything I know about Philipe. I shall have to research him more :D

[racefortheironthrone]

Re. the Versailles strategy, did it contribute to the French Revolution, by distancing the nobility from the rest of French society?

Yes and no. 

The complicating factor is that significant portions of the nobility were quite involved in the early stages of the French Revolution - the Parlement of Paris’ refusal to register royal decrees on taxation leading to the calling of the Estates General, the renunciations of feudal privileges, the Orleanist faction of the Second Estate joining the National Assembly, etc. - and were quite fluent in the language of the Enlightenment, and could become quite popular political figures. (Think nobles like the Comte de Mirabeau, or Phillipe Égalité the Duc d’Orleans, or the Marquis de Lafayette.) The real turn against the nobility comes a bit later, with the Great Fear, the beginning of the war, etc.  

I would argue that the main contribution was that it exacerbated inequalities in taxation, and here is where the political and economic impulses of Louis XIV’s government come to the fore. Politically, Louis needed to give out tax exemptions as a way to get the nobility to come to Versailles and keep them there. Economically, Louis’ ministers wanted to tax the Second Estate to pay for Versailles, to pay for Louis’ wars, to pay for the growing centralized bureaucracy that was replacing the nobility out in the provinces, to pay for the infrastructure and investments in new industries that were needed to develop the French economy. 

Because the former impulse usually won out during the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI (to be fair, a lot of royal finance ministers tried to tax the First and Second Estates even when it usually ended their political careers), the tax burden on the Third Estate was significantly higher than it would have been had the Second Estate been paying taxes.
