Hi Anyways I'm In 9th Grade Now

Anyway here's the drawing

(Drew them in chibi-ish style coz idk how to properly draw people kissing hehe)

Hi

So, uh, I'm not gonna post about Cosette, Louisette, or Aurelie for now because idk what to write. Sorry.

(Here's some dialogue from Louisette's novel, because I won't write the whole book, I just wanted to give some hint about the story)

(Also this probably kinda felt too formal but eh)

"You and me, we were born to accompany each other, Lewis. And while your platonic companionship was enough for me, but I cannot deny it," Colin sighed, "I cannot deny the fact that I wished for our relationship to be.. more than friends, you know?"

Lewis took a deep breath. "I knew it from long before, I just– I just don't want to quickly make assumptions. I had romantic feelings towards you, but I'm afraid that if I act upon it, you.. you'll be disgusted, then you'll distance yourself from me, and we'll both lose our relationship.. our relationship that took years for us to establish.."

"Then we are both the same, Lewis. We were both too afraid to lose each other. I would not distance myself from you, in fact– I do not want to be separated from you."

"Really? Then, may I take your hand as my lover?"

"Yes."

Lewis held Colin's hand and kissed it softly.

"But, knowing how the public react to such relationships like us.. we'll have to keep this a secret."

"You can trust on me to keep this a secret, Colin. I'm also your confidant, after all."

"I know."

Just got my first vaccine :D

✨When Sunflowers change to Green Carnations info✨

» Colin's full name is Colin Gryngrasse! (Yes I know it's weird) The Gryngrasses were a rich aristocrat family.

» Lewis's full name is Lewis Percival Peverell (Oh look, even weirder).

» Colin used to be married to Eloise Harton, but turns out they're both stuck in a lavender marriage (basically, a lavender marriage is when two non-straight individuals of the opposite gender was married off to each other in order to protect their reputation or other reasons) so they split up.

» Lewis is a doctor with quite a good reputation. He treated a lot of upper class people, including Colin Gryngrasse.

» Lewis also became Colin's confidant after Colin accidentally told too much to him. He was able to gain his trust, and never told anyone.

» Colin is a poet, an actor, and a wine connoisseur (wow so random)

» I originally intended Eloise to be the antagonist, but I was like, nah

» Lewis's middle name was originally William

Edit: sometimes there's only one non-straight individual in a lavender marriage while the other is straight!

A Museum Date, Part 1

(Author's note: there's a slight mention of period typical homophobia on the 8th paragraph)

Today, me and Tori are going on a museum date. We both wore our favourite outfits. We arrived at 11 am.

"Hey, what if we check that new section over there, Al?" Tori pointed to an exhibit with a sign that says "Violet Wreaths and Green Carnations".

"Sounds good." She held my hand and led me. Turns out, the new exhibit is about same-sex relationships in history.

There were lots of photographs, paintings, written records, you know, things you'll see at most museum exhibits.

"Allie, there's the original draft of that play you were talking about that day !"

"Really? Let's see it, then!"

We looked at the said script, carefully displayed inside a glass box. There's a sign beneath it.

«This is the original script of the play "The Knight And The Elven Bard" by Claus Chasterell. The Rosenhart Theatre refused to perform this version of the script because of its "depiction of unacceptable behavior"(this play depicted romance between two men), saying that it would ruin the public's impression of both Chasterell and the theatre itself. Chasterell then revised it, changing the terms of endearment Alois (the knight) and Albion (the bard) used to refer each other with to platonic terms such as friend, dear companion, etc. He also changed the kiss scene in the epilogue to a warm embrace. But even with the changes, the playwright's true intentions are still recognizable.»

Then, right beside the script was a letter. The sign beneath it said:

«This letter was found by Claudia Izabel Carper on her sixth great-granduncle's house, on the main bedchamber, to be exact. The identity of the sender is unknown, as he (the sender stated he was a man, although not explicitly) used an alias, Victor. But, the handwriting seemed quite similar to the handwriting of the famous poet Claus Chasterell. The recipient is only addressed as "My Beloved", but because of the location this letter was found on, it's safe to say that the recipient was Ms.Carper's sixth great-granduncle.»

"Wait, so your sixth great-grandfather...," Tori whispered. "He liked men too?" We both said in union.

After a long silence, I shrugged. "Well, maybe he does, but, I think it's better to do more research after this date is over, don't you think so, babe?"

Tori nods. "Yeah, I guess so, sweetie."

(A/N: I'll try to finish the second part as soon as possible)

Camouflage crew!

Get stick bugged, leaf butterflied, orchid mantised, and leaf bugged lol

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

Beans, My Beloved (Aloisia's POV)

I woke up. It seems like there's been a heavy rain last night. Raindrops were still visible on my window. I went out to check if any of my flowers were affected. Thankfully, they're quite alright.

"Meow!"

I searched for the source of the sound. A cat was hiding in a bush. I picked him up.

He's not hurt, but his white and black fur was wet. I took him in and dried his fur. I noticed something: his toe beans are pink in one paw and black on the other.

"Aloisia, what are you doing?" Mum suddenly appeared behind me. She saw the cat. "Oh, how cute! Too bad I'm allergic to cat fur, so he can't stay here.."

"Mum, I found him in a bush in the garden. He was hiding from the storm. I don't want him to get affected by the storm again..."

Mum sighed. "Fine, you can keep him. Just.. make sure there's no furs and you don't bring him near me, okay?"

I smiled. "Okay!" I carried the cat to my room. He laid down. "What should I call you, kitty?" He then stretched, showing his toe beans again.

I nodded. "I guess I'll call you Beans."
