Jean-Baptiste Was Used To Having Apprentices With Odd Speach Patterns, Sometimes Because The Only French

Jean-Baptiste was used to having apprentices with odd speach patterns, sometimes because the only French they knew was a thick gallow slang nobody outside of their cast properly understood, the other was speech defaults created by exessive inbreeding.

Something told him that there was no way Pinoko had been a normal human being for eighteen years. Having to baby sit her...Was fustrating.

On some level, it would have been nice to just sent her playing with his own kids...But, Charles-Martin was dissection obsessed, for the sake of household discipline it would be better if she didn't befriend little Nicolas-Gabriel II, and Louis-Cyr Charlemagne, although he was at her developmental age. Sending his eldest daughter to the catacombs for an "immunity enforcing expedition" would do good, if the magistrature didn't insist on purging the catacombs, or rather accuse any living girl or woman within the vacinity of a decomposing corpse of being a prostitute, and then send her to the Hôpital Général for it, where they would soon join the corpses of the mass graves.

"Sorry, Pinoko, but you surely do not act like you are grown up."

Jean-Baptiste dragged himself with his cane a little bit closer.

subiysu-chan

The puny, tiny cancer turned intelligent (and somewhat delusional human being) was asking him why she should improve her speech. "So you can learn to speak like a grown up and people can better understand and respect you." as his awnser. Jean-Baptiste was somewhat perplexed by the presence of this child inside his house. He wasn't that experienced with children who weren't his or those of his colleagues. Instead of being easily frightened by those who weren't family, she was boldly imprudent. He himself was not the most reassuring presence, and he somewhat knew how to comfort smaller kids, although it was odd to meet one who wasn't afraid of him. Children outside his cast were somewhat of a mistery to him, as they all, without fail, have a lacking self-preservation instinct, even at an age were they should be aware of their mortality. No matter how much their peers outmatched them, or even towards adults, they weren't expecting rejection or mob action. No, not being mobbed as a child seemed to have a detremental effect on the outsiders, since many of them grew to be neglectful of their own progeniture, and seem to consider them litteral garbadge. As children, they were completely unafraid of crowds, which was just asking for trouble. Black Jack wasn't like that...but Pinoko.

When she and Black Jack first stepped into the Sanson mansion, Pinoko was, well. . . . . . . anxious coming across the Sansons, especially Jean-Baptiste and his mother, the scary-looking witch Anne-Marthe. However, Pinoko quickly adapted to French doctor's presence and she was now speaking to him face-to-face with her usual boldness. She stole glances of the other children of the house, but never really thought about meeting the rest of them, except the eldest son, Charles-Henri Sanson, out of curiosity. The other boys were too young, the eldest daughter too reserved, and the only other girl that looked around Pinoko's "age" - physically speaking - was Marie Joseph Sanson, but Pinoko doubt the kid would be interested in a young lady regaling her and Doc's medical adventures. . .

Pinoko crossed her arms and huffed, though if it was meant to be intimidating, it failed. Her response came out more like a complaint than anything.

"Pinoko's awready a gwown up, ya know! If people can't undershtand Pinoko, then that'sh their pwobwem, not mine."

I'd care if the person I reblogged this from committed suicide.

Reblog this from anybody. literally. ANYBODY. even if you dont like them or even know them that well. YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE.

Seven Deadly Sins, as gory executioner cards

Superbia:

So, Superbia refers to exessive Pride. Now, this sense of all-encompassing superiority and elevated sense of self can be both very terrifiying, especially when one is exeedingly arrogant how people can allow themselves to treat others, sometimes entire societies. Also, this vision of the "self as God", with modern transhumanism and refusal of any natural definition of the self. It can also mean an over estimation of one's ability.

So, to relate it to the role of executions, the pride of a good executioner is a steady hand and a long dynastic history. Also, this concept of looking down on others...

So, for Superbia, more androgenous character wearing embroidery of human nails on a red coat that is more of a late XVIth century one that is quite aged and tattered, and at the ends of the coat are gallow-embroidered yellow ribbons that from afar look like royal hermine skin coats, while the rest of the oufit with the hankierchief is more firmly from the 1740s, but with natural hair instead of a wig, natural hair that is somewhat bleached and brassy at the end from using lye to wash blood off of it. Behind this character would be beheaded corpses with their spines removed. Removal of the spine is a common butchery technique, and thus it indicates that this character thinks of his victims as livestock. Now, for the steady hand, they should hold executioner sword, that their spindely form is ill equipped to handle, and they don't lift it, just holding it flatly in their arms, sitting in a regal position upon a tumbril, with an expression of flaming inner pride. Pride that would break before it bends, and would rather die than bow. So, some shapes that would indicate a hail of stones thrown by an angry mob, but they seem unaffected, only looking down. Having some symbol of shame or some filth on them would be great, but it would somehow enforce their regality and king-like dignity.

Acedia:

Acedia, is this lack of care, this disregard, often times a callous one, which often times does mean a certain amount of laziness, because if one doesn't care about something, they won't put a lot of effort into it. Also, it can mean the searching for an easy option, that is often times not the most ethical one.

So, for this character, a quite debonnaire man, dressed in an 1830s outfit would be quite nice, perhaps even something ressembling an indoors robe. Now, the instrument of death that would show "sloth" the best would be a guillotine or a gallow.

Now, both have the potencial to be very quick and painless way to die, but...

Decapitation machines are tricky things because of the blood loss that decapitation causes they require a lot of maintenance. In the case of a guillotine, it can easily seep into the wood, causing the blade to fall more slowly and lack the momentum to actually kill someone, making death an agonizing one. Blades, after their use, must be regularly sharpened, otherwise, there's issues, and the acidity of blood as well as the oxygen, methane and CO2 it contains can cause metals to oxydize very quickly. Being hit over and over again by a slow, blunt and rusted blade is not a fast nor painless way to die as the spine is slowly crushed from the neck down.

Gallows, one needs a lot of prep for a long drop to work, and if not for a long drop, the executioner needs to climb on top of the condemned to do very fast, semi-circular swings that alternate very quickly. In both cases, death happens by the breaking of the neck, but if one doesn't bother with either of those things, death is caused by strangulation.

This character should be slouching on an absolutely filthy guillotine.

Naming your Russian characters

The suffixes:

"ov", "ski", "ich" and "in" are suffixes that roughly translates to "of" or "from". So, if you simply look at some proto-slavic, old slavic or old Russian location-related words or old given names and put the suffixes at the end, you should get something that's in the ball park of realism. Some russian people do have surnames that make no sementic sense with the various suffixes, and that's mostly a consequence of Soviet standardization. In Cossak populations, some surnames can desend from warrior nicknames, and if the character is pre-Russian Revolution, than the suffix should make at least some semantic sense with the prefix.

Gendered surname:

In Russian, surnames are gendered, meaning they should be feminized for a woman. "Ov" becomes "ova", "ski" becomes "skaya" and in becaomes "ina" and "ich" becomes "evna".

Patronymes:

The middle name should be the father's name, but slightly modified. So, if your character's father's name was "Yuri", than, the character himself or herself should be something Yurivich or Yurivna (or Yurevna).

Given names:

Go google it. But remember, "Misha" is not a given name, but a nickname for "Michaïl". So, make sure to check your sources.

I think historical female characters who have views similar to 21st century feminism make no sense and are actually regressive instead of progressive. They will always end up as the butt of the joke because back then not only did women have very little rights, the issues they faced were totally different. Gender roles were also different. I just hate that Feminist™️ trope so much it's so silly😭

I also agree it's quite silly, anachronistic and just silly. Even the analgesic sense of ethics is more of a twentieth century thing and it's the boomers that practically invented it.

I'm trying to prove a point to my brain: Reblog if you think fanfiction does not need sex to be good.

There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
