You've seen Aloisia and Tori's handwriting, so here's the ✨19th century gang✨

Norabella Oakley (left) and Alois Vilhelm (right)

(I drew Alois without a coat because I hadn't found any illustrations of 1819 coats)

Hello :D

I might draw Alois and Norabella (here's some info about who they are, but it's mostly about Claus lol) tomorrow, and maybe write the next chapter.. also I have an idea to make a series of drawings of couples from my favourite era :3 but idk when will I start making it XD stay tuned! <3

Early 19th century lady :3

He looks.. okay, I guess. Definitely not historically accurate, but it still kinda resembles the real thing :P

(A portrait of Claus Chasterell, A. Vilhelm, 1822)

Claus Chasterell (1783-1852) was a poet, playwright, and actor. Born to a working-class household, he found his luck on winter 1803, having Duchess Isabel of Ellster as his patron. (He later became independent with no patronage)

In Ellster, he met a lot of people who ended up being relevant to his life, such as Norabella Oakley, an actress that he married, only for them to divorce on 1818 (although they still had a good relationship, it just wasn't romantic anymore), and Alois Vilhelm, an artist who used to work as Duchess Isabel's guard, who was also his lifelong friend.

He gained popularity from his play, "Snowstorm", a tragedy, and his wonderful acting only adds to his fame. Although it wasn't the only reason..

Claus was also a very handsome man himself. Lots of people would storm the backroom before his play (where he starred) began, or after it ends, just to see him, or get a strand of his hair, if they're lucky. Percival Chasterell, his son, recounts an event similar to what was described in the previous sentences:

"Those people, they were rushing to the backroom to meet my father. I still can hear their footsteps, until this very day. It turned to such a terrible situation that Mr. Vilhelm, who was accompanying me in the theatre, had to come out and calm down the crowd."

There were some speculations about Claus, such as a theory of him being attracted to men. It originated from a play of him, "The Knight and The Elven Bard", that subtly hinted at romance between two men, and the discovery of some letters to a male recipient which seems to match his handwriting only strengthened the theory.

Claus Chasterell passed away in his birth town, Ferncliff, in 21 March 1852.

I already finished it.. but it looks very wrong and full of correction pen marks ;-; guess it's redraw time

So, I already made a sketch of Claus Chasterell, and I might do the lineart tomorrow.. anyways if anyone wanna ask something about my OCs/me (:P) my asks are open :3 ! (I might not answer right away because time zones and stuff, sorry)

In case you're confused about the great-grandparents of Aloisia:

6th great-grandparents are born in the late 18th century.

5th great-grandparents are born in the 1810s.

4th great-grandparents are born in 1840s-early 1850s.

3rd great-grandparents are born in 1860s-1870s

2nd great-grandparents are born in late 19th century

Great-grandparents are born in 1920s.

Grandparents are born in 1940s-1950s.

Parents, aunts and uncles are born in 1970s-1980s.

The cousins, Al and Tori are born in late 1990s-2000s.

A Museum Date, Part 2 (click here for Part 1)

We were walking around in the exhibit. I found something related to my sixth great-grandmothers. But what truly catched my attention was an illustration with a touchscreen and some headphones below it.

"Tori?" I searched for her, but she's already in front of said screen. She looks fond of the illustration.

"Oh. Sorry for not noticing you, darling. I was.. distracted," she said, smiling guiltily. I examined the illustration. There were two men in typical 19th century clothing pulling each other to an embrace, although I couldn't determine which decade. Definitely made pretty recently, as the art style is very anime-ish, and I doubt 19th century artists ever knew about such things.

On the screen, there was only a play button. Tori and I wore the headphones and she pressed play. Classical music begins to play. I glanced at Tori. She looked like she was reminiscing about something.

"Aloisia, have I ever told you about the story behind this piece?"

"No, what is it?"

She sighed. "Well, the composer of this piece is my favourite composer. The meaning of his first name is connected to victory, just like me. And his lover, whom he dedicated this piece to.. well, his first and middle name is a variant of Louis and William, and your first and middle name.." I saw tears form on her eyes. "Aloisia Wilhelmina, is also another variant of those names too.."

"So you were thinking about us?"

"Yes."

I looked at her in the eye, and she understood what I wanted to say.

"You're allowed to."

We moved closer to each other and had our first kiss.

After visiting other exhibits, we returned to our own homes in the evening. I carefully put my shoes under the bed, but my hand hit something unfamiliar.

Anxiously, I tried to feel it. It feels like a knob. I decided to pull the knob upwards. It opened a small, discreet storage. There seems to be some papers inside. I randomly took one out, and it was a charcoal sketch of a man.

Under the man's sketch, there is his handwriting: Alois Vilhelm, self portrait, 1819, and on the other side of the paper, there is another handwriting that looked different to his: My Beloved, My Dearest Alois.

I guess I already knew who's this Alois my family members are named after. Just needed some little research about his connection with the family.

And definitely not now, because I'm already tired.

As you all might've noticed, I changed the title to "Aloisia Chasterell and whoever the hell is this Louis or Alois or whatever their name is?!".

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)

The Next Day (Click here for prologue)

"So, what do you think, Tori?" I asked after I finished talking about my recent realization. "Let me think.. Well, there's this composer, whose name was a variant of Louis .. and your sixth great-grandfather lived in the early 19th century, like him, so maybe he likes his music and idolized him or something? Idk, just.. my thoughts as a musician," Tori said.

"Well, that's actually a pretty neat theory. Nice, Tori." She smiled. I suddenly remembered about my conversation with my sibling last night. "Tori, babe, you remember Claude, right?"

"Your older sibling? Yeah, I remember them. Why?"

I took a deep breath. "Well, they just directed an adaptation of our sixth great-grandfather's play, and the protagonist's name is Alois.."

"Interesting. I'll search that play up, I promise." Tori and I did the pinky promise. "Anyways, my parents probably wants me to go home already, so, sorry, and bye, darling!" She gave me one last hug, and I waved at her as she left my room.

Here's Tori, Aloisia's gf :3

(She identifies as sapphic because it's the label that fits her the most. And she's supposed to be from +62 country, just like me XD)

Sunset :3

Prologue :D !!

Today, I finally realized something.

A lot of my family member's name is just a variant of the name "Louis".

It dated back from 1837, when Percival Chasterell,my fifth great-grandfather, named one of his sons Alois. Alois was born after Claus II, who was named after my sixth great-grandfather, Claus Chasterell.

And then, there's great-aunt Louisa, grandfather Alois II, great grandfather Aloysius, great-uncle Louis, cousin Lutz, aunt Mary Lou (yes, Lou is a variant of Louis), niece Louella, and of course, me, myself and I. Aloisia Chasterell.

It makes me wonder, you know? Why is there more people named after variants of Louis than people named after sixth great-grandfather Claus? He was a famous poet, playwright, and actor.. and yet there's only two people in his family named after another variant of his name: Claus II, and my sibling Claude.

I mean, Louis is a great name. It means 'famous warrior' or 'famous in battle'. But who is this Louis, or Alois, or whoever their name is, and what did they do to have more Chasterells named after them than Claus?

MC reveal!

Hi, first of all, I'm having some trouble with writing ✨The Pellerin-Guillaume Lore✨so I might not post about them for idk how long, sorry :'(

And, second of all, I'm starting a new story, again– it's going to be called "Aloisia Chasterell and whoever the hell is this Louis or Alois or whatever their name is?!"

Basically, the plot is about Aloisia, a descendant of Claus Chasterell, an influential poet, playwright and actor from the 19th century, who just realized that a lot of her family member's name was just a variant of the name Louis. Who is this Louis the Chasterells' named their children after, and what did they do for that to happen?

(yes, Aloisia's pronouns are she/they.Also this story is set in a fictional place and the characters written as historical figures are fictional)

It's always 'wyd' and never 'lmaiay'

Antonio from Identity V, but he's tiny (and not very accurate to the in-game version XD)

(He's literally the reason I started playing idv and I love him very much)

Since it's already June 16th on my country, so.. happy birthday to me!

Afternoon Shopping (´• ω •`)

So uh.. I'm actually not really sure whether to post it or not but uh.. anyways..

Here is it.

Edit: "I only picked his first name and his last" refers to A.P's initials.

Some other OCs (no drawings tho, sorry) (Also tw for mention of murder)

•Theodore Pellerin (1848-1924), Cosette's father, a solo pianist who also gave lessons to children from rich families. Was born to a working class family, earned his wealth from hard work. Also he's quite a wild lad on his youth XD

•Astoria Pellerin (nee Cardella) (1851-1924), Cosette's mother, a choir singer who was born to an aristocratic family from Italy. She moved to France with her godparents after the murder of her father (the murderer being her own mother). Because of the horrible things her mother did, she tried her best to be a better mother to her own children (and she succeeded). Met Theodore in 1874 and married him in 1876.

•Claude Pellerin (1877-1948), Cosette's older brother, a historian who loves to travel. He is the foster father of Charlotte Pellerin. He never got into a romantic relationship and is not interested about it.

•Joseph Guillaume (1850-1919), Louisette's father, an architect. Used to go to the same school with Astoria.

•Martha Guillaume (nee Bonnet) (1849-1925), Louisette's mother, an arts connoisseur. Went to the same university with Theo and is friends with him. Heaven knows how she kept up with his bs.

•Victoria Liddell (1911-1972), a singer who really idolized Cosette. She made some covers of her songs, and one of her covers ended up being more popular than Cosette's original song.(f in the chat for Cosette) (also this situation actually happened with the historical inspirations for Cosette and Vic)

So all of my top posts are about nico..

Pog

Today, I have a little conversation with her! Nothing much, just something about insta and stuff lol.

(Not OC Content)

So my class took a class picture and for a girls only picture , the teacher who photographed us asks us to, like, hug the person next to us from the back and lean to them and the girl next to me is my crush aaaaaa

✨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!

Hello, my dear followers B)

Some time ago, I said that Cosette's birthday was on 18th February, and that it was a reference to a historical fact, right?

Well, in case you wanted to know, then search for 18th February 1784 on google (that date's definitely not someone's false birthdate aha). You might found someone's portrait 😳 (definitely not someone familiar to all of you aha)

So, my mom's friend gave me a whole set of pencils for sketch.. I don't even understand how to use them o_O

I just bought some brush markers so here's some of my lettering :D

(yup, it's another quote from nicc)

(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."
