#she will not but it's always fun to ask!

Hi, this is going to be a weird ask, but what the hell! I'm an art history student and I have a memoire to write, and I want / need / crave to make a connection between europe and the new world during the modern period, so like 1600's to late 1800's. I was hoping for something connecting France (where I'm from) to Canada, and I saw your post asking for strength not to write a fanfic about that period, and I thought, what the hell! 1/2

Salut!! I admit you've stumped me a bit and I had to think about this one! (Ontario + Quebec education system leaving out important parts of their colonial history etc etc).

First thing I could think of in terms of artifacts or art, that I know of, would most likely have been beaver furs purchased in Canada and sent back to France during the fur trade. The French were very involved with the Algonquin peoples (Anishinaabeg) during the time of the fur trade, and they had a relative peace going on for a while including intermarriages between French settlers and Indigenous peoples, specifically for the prosperity of the fur trade. You still had some Indigenous peoples converting to Christianity in an attempt at cohabitation with the French settlers, who weren't very keen on sharing land. But yes, most people --- settler or Indigenous --- made their money in the fur trade, and beaver cloaks were pretty common and valuable.

Other than that, there was of course Jacques Cartier who did some truly despicable things in the 16th century (so not quite what you were asking for, I apologize!)... On his first expedition to what is now Quebec, he abducted two of Haudenosaunee Chief Donnacona's sons (Domagaya and Taignoagny) and brought them back to France to essentially show off their "primitiveness" and prove that they could be easily conquered. On his second expedition he abducted Donnacona himself along with a number of his people and never returned them home.

THEN there's also the Acadians, of course, along the East Coast. But since they were the descendants of French settlers, I'm not sure about artifacts leaving the land or coming and going to/from France except in regards to the deportation of the Acadians. There was a lot of fighting between French and British settlers over this land (now Nova Scotia), and eventually the British forcefully deported the Acadians when they would not swear allegiance or neutrality to the crown (1755, I believe), some of whom safely ended up in France. It's hard to find information on what happened to the people who resettled in France, but I know some of them went from there to the French Caribbean or Louisiana. I don't think they carried much with them when they were deported, but it might be interesting to look into that! I know my Cape Breton relatives would probably love to hear about me doing research on the Acadians lol but the truth is they've always been a big question mark to me!

Mostly when we talk about colonial history in Canada, we just talk about early colonization or later land treaties. I'm sure, though, that there are stolen artifacts sitting in museums across Europe but I unfortunately couldn't find anything specific in my searches! But likely textiles, weapons, beaded artifacts and art, wampum belts, maybe even entire totem poles. Hell, we have tons of stolen artifacts in museums here in Ontario. And mummies / human remains. Finding an artifact that was given would be really interesting, as I'm sure they exist!

EDIT: Aha! I did find some Algonquin artifacts (among others) in a collection at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris, that seem to be from the 18th-19th century. I'm not sure how the donor acquired these items, though. If it was ethical or not.

I hope some of that was a little helpful!! And also not grossly inaccurate!! I'm wishing you lots of luck on your work <33 It sounds really interesting and I'd like to hear more about it if/whenever you get the chance!

Okay, but Elizabeth being an absolute savage girlboss isn't something that's talked about enough.

Love how you're spitting facts for our girly pop. 💪💪💪

TBH I go off the personality baby has, and gotta assume some of that sass is definitely Elizabeth

I feel like ? I gotta remind people it’s ok to unfollow a blog when it upsets you in any way >> like if I ever do that sure, you can let me know if it was anything I did personally I’d appreciate it but if you just don’t enjoy something it’s ok to unfollow ;w; can’t stress enough how important it is to put your mental health first 👌

Wizards and paladins are my favorite classes because of the built in story elements that clearly shape the characters, but also because, on some level, if a character isn't, to quote Jonas Spahr, "arrogant, prideful, and sanctimonious" what is even the point.

helloooo have a messy scribble page of oc concepts. unfortunately, im in love and will now proceed to ramble At Length

but before that! rudimentary height chart!

all i know rn is Mairy - the cow - is about the same height as Howdy/Barnaby/Poppy (around 8ft), Hettie & Daisy are in the Wally/Julie/Sally category (around 3ft), and Jesterly is more Frank/Eddie (around 4ft). Derry Drake is fuckoff huge, and Casey is... idk really. tall but not That tall

so. rambles. i... have those, yeah

Mairy Love - she/her - lesbian a gorgeous white/blue cow! originally she was gonna be pink/white, but blue/white is my favorite color combo and honestly? it's dairy colors to me. she's big! she's strong! she's very gentle and sweet but also takes shit from no one, even though she doesn't like confrontation much (unless its playful roughhousing! jokes fly completely over her head! i'm thinking she tends to a lovely orchard of various fruit trees, and probably cultivates some crops for fun as well. maybe seasonal ones? pumpkins for the spooky season, fir trees for those snowy days, etc.

Casey J. Mittens - he/him - aro this orange fella is scaredy cat central! unfortunately for him, he's also curious to a fault! curiosity killed the cat, and he fears the day that rings true for him! he'd rather curl up at home or in a cozy tree, crocheting something cute from one of his many balls of yarn than do anything else. he tries to be a voice of reason, but is too easily convinced otherwise. he's that friend who says "we shouldn't be doing this" as he wholeheartedly assists in the shenanigan in question.

Hettie (currently undecided) - she/her - bi true to her honeybee heritage, Hettie is a florist! she boasts an impressive array of flowers that she tends to like her life depends on it. she's always running around to make sure they're all getting the best care - and she's always checking in on her pals to make sure they're taken care of, too. she's a busy bee who wouldn't know a day's rest if it stung her on the ass! It takes a lot to make her mad, but everybody better watch out when her wings start buzzing

Daisy Hop - she/him - pan i actually created Daisy as a supplementary character for a certain au, but realized i could find a place for her in this little group. i'm thinking he runs a little shop - a roadside stall, more like - where she can both sell her own homemade candy & his friends' stuff! she's the only one in the group that can keep up with Hettie's energy, and even surpass it at times. though unlike Hettie, Daisy knows how to take (and appreciate) a break!

Jesterly - whatever/is/funniest - Derry a menace. they love pranks above all else, oftentimes at the expense of others. he's always up to something and is never not scheming something! there's always Someone to bother! in all honesty she's more like an annoying stray cat that no one can get rid of... and they better not try, or they'll face the wrath of this fool's Very large partner! The jester's cap never comes off, and neither does the mask!

Derry Drake - they/them - Jesterly there's no sugarcoating it - Derry is a big lazy grump! it's almost impossible to get them out of their cave, or off of any place they decide to nap. the only thing that can reliably get them moving is the promise - or prospect - of food. it's a wonder how they've accumulated such a hoard of random things in the back of their cave, seeing as they rarely get up at all. they're incredibly nearsighted and bite first, ask questions later - after all, who knows if the colorful blob in front of them is food or not! better to be safe than hungry!

currently in my mind they have their own little community deep in the woods. Daisy lives in a modified burrow, Maisy has a cute farmhouse, Casey lives in a cozy treehouse, Hettie has a small cottage, and Derry & Jesterly live in a cave. within their community, they share practically everything. want a snack? pluck something from the orchard. need a new pair of mittens? ask Casey! i suppose you could say they're communists <3 (except for Daisy. she won't charge his friends, but anyone else is free game)

Mairy and Hettie have romantic tension, Daisy and Derry are the only ones who can tolerate Jes, Mairy wants Jes dead, Casey is terrified of Derry, Daisy's rapid-fire speech confuses everyone but Hettie, etc. i should make a chart for funsies...

Ohhhh, Anon's perfect apple ask is now giving me blessed imagery of Dusknoir cutting apple slices into bunny shapes. Maybe for Opal, maybe for him to show off, either way.

The soft, the dexterity, the GENTLENESS after such a prolonged period of violence he had undergone. Opal called him her gramps for a reason, after all.

(Referencing this post)

Hey how does it feel to have given me a prompt that had me tearing up all throughout the process of drawing it because of how unbearably heartfelt and endearing it is?
