Some of Clavis Lelouch’s best quotes + Cyran’s bonus quotes
“Tell me, Emma, what do you think is the best way to wake someone who’s really bad at waking up? (…) That’s right, you stab them.” (—Clavis talking about Chevalier to Emma)
“Finding such a handsome man in your room is enough to leave anyone breathless. Take your time. I know I’m easy on the eyes. (…) Oh, nice reaction! There’s nothing like a good AHHHHH to get me in the mood.”
“I didn’t do anything. But next time, don’t be intimidated by these status-crazed nobles. You don’t owe them anything—not even a smile. If someone looks down on you, look down on them in return. Otherwise, your self-worth will start to plummet. Never abandon your self-respect just to calm the situation. I know you’re a wonderful person—I wouldn’t have chosen you as my wife if not.”
“You succumbed to delusion.”
“You weren’t paying any attention to me at all. I got so lonely, I almost died!”
“…I want to make love to you.”
“I’ll tell you a secret about Chevalier. You want to know right? I bet you do. (…) He likes romance novels, but the reason for that is… Me. (…) One day, I secretly added to his pile of books… I put a book that boasted its dewy, spicy romance in the pile.”
“Haha! When you’re as handsome as I am, you look good no matter what state you’re in. You just need better understanding of aesthetics.” (—Clavis to the “Obsidianite soldier”)
“Haha! You don’t need to apologize. Who says only kids are allowed to be bouncy? What’s wrong with adults being genuine about loving the things they love?”
“Oh, the things you say! Don’t you realize you threaten to unleash the beast that hides behind this gentleman’s visage?” (—Clavis’ thoughts about Emma)
“What a fool I was to think I was done falling in love with you. The depths I could fall for you seem endless.”
“We can do it on the table, or by the windowsill again, if you like. Ah, but I don’t recommend the floor—not unless you’re into that.”
“Wait, wait, wait! (…) Chevalier, you cannot possibly be trying to replace the words ‘I love you’ with that one kiss. (…) Why else would Emma have dressed up so beautifully? It’s all so she can hear you say those three words! (…) Yes, not all things need to be said, but there is a purpose in giving words to feelings. That’s how you can bring them into the real world. Chev, you can’t let Emma guess how you truly feel forever. Just tell her. (…) The average person can’t read minds like you do. Don’t assume that Emma knows everything just because you do.” (—Clavis to Chevalier, in Chevalier’s route)
“I would never allow my lovely fiancee to live a life of fear. And so I must take it upon myself to indulge her in a life of joy.” (—Clavis’ thoughts about Emma)
“I’m charming, aren’t I?”
“Here you are, alone in a secret room with a handsome prince. Why are you only interested in those lifeless husks? (…) That’s a little offensive, you know.”
“Haha! Go to hell.” (—Clavis to Chevalier)
“Goodness, I’ve never visited that bookstore, and to think it was hiding a gem all this time…” (—Clavis’ thoughts about Emma)
“Dear me, it looks like they started running the second they spotted me. Haha! That’s optimistic of them. ” (—Clavis talking about Yves and Licht to Emma)
“You could at least call it artistic. My handwriting conceals talent that would surpass that of a genius artist. (…) It’s readable. So long as you take the time to decode it! Haha!” (—Clavis to Jin)
“Ah… Hahaha! I can’t believe you headbutted me! You should’ve slapped me, at least.”
“There’s no rule that says you have to drink alcohol once you come of age. That said, it might be more romantic to let you get drunk and then take care of you until you sober up. Wait here, I’ll just get some—”
“Of course, I’m not trying to criticize your own personal standards for good and evil. But throughout our lives, we’re constantly being confronted by our perceptions of good and evil. And there are times when we might regret it later, if we decide to be critical of something simply because 'it’s evil’. Our own individual standards for good and evil may not always be aligned with the kingdom’s standards for good and evil. And if that happens, wouldn’t you want to remain true to your own standards? To what you believe is good and right?”
“So you’re comfortable drinking. I’ll keep that in mind.” (—Clavis’ thoughts about Emma)
“(…) I’m well aware that of all the princes, I was the one most loved by his mother. Although I suppose it’s not really a surprise, given how adorable and cute I was. (…) Haha! Why are you apologizing? There’s no rule that says we can’t talk about the deceased. And there’s no need to feel guilty, either. I’m not some silly child who gets all worked up just from thinking about her.” (—Clavis talking about his mother to Emma)
“I love drawing attention to myself, you know that. I wanted everyone in the palace talking about me, so I made it seem as if I’d gone missing.” (—Clavis to Sariel)
“…You’re surprisingly sweet on Emma, aren’t you?” (—Clavis to Chevalier)
“Well obviously, because I like rabbits. And from what I know of rabbits… They may seem aloof, but they’re actually very sweet and loving, and if you’re lucky, they’ll even let you see that side of them. I think they’re adorable. And despite being delicate and easily frightened, they won’t run from anything—they’ll stand their ground and put on a brave face. I can’t think of any other creature that instills in me such an urge to protect them. You see? Everything about them is lovable.” (—Clavis talking about Emma secretly)
“But that’s why Rhodolite is so well-balanced. If we all agreed with Leon, the kingdom would constantly be in danger from outside. If we all agreed with Chevalier, it would end up a dictatorship.”
“You’re about the only person who willingly visits the brutal beast’s lair.”
“Just so we’re clear, this doesn’t even count as a setback to me. I’ve tasted defeat countless times at the hands of a brother more beastly than anyone in Obsidian. I’ve never once made the right choice. I’m a loser, constantly making mistakes, and constantly being laughed at for them. (…) When you fail, it’s easy to give up. It’s easy to think your ideas are wrong, and yield to the right choice. But this is what I do. Every time I fail, I get up again, and I fight even harder, so that next time, maybe I won’t fail. I don’t care about what’s right for the kingdom. I stay true to what’s right for me, and that’s the only way I’ve found any meaning in my life. Even if what I believe to be right and true is actually wrong, and even if I’m called evil and wicked for doing what I do… I’ll fight against the brutal beast’s methods with everything I have in me. And I’m not going to die until I’ve made him kneel before me, and accepted that my beliefs are just as righteous as his are. (…) And since I’ve spent my life tasting nothing but defeat, I think I can declare this with some certainty. So long as you go on living, you’ll never really be a loser. Because there is no such thing. Even if you lost this time, you just have to win next time to be the winner. And if nothing else, you’d be able to die a prouder man than you will now. (…) Today’s failures will lead you to tomorrow’s hope. Always, as long as you don’t give up. And that’s why I’m going to get up and try again. What about you? Are you going to die a dog’s death here?” (—Clavis to the “Obsidianite soldier”)
“What a shame… Were my hands not bound right now… I’d already be making love to you.”
“Haha! Not a chance. I adore her.” (—Clavis denying disliking Emma to Gilbert)

there have been many cases already international clients dropping their commissions from filipino artists or avoiding commissioning filipino creators altogether, either due to a fear of consequences getting associated with us because of current events or the misguided notion that not supporting us somehow hurts the oppressive government we’re under. lemme address both those issues:
for the first reason, nothing will happen to you, a foreigner, for supporting filipinos. theres nothing to be afraid of, youre not in this country and wont suffer any consequences. many of us, however? we’re afraid. especially artists and creators who rely on commissions to support themselves and their families
for the second reason, you are not hurting our oppressors at all. you are hurting filipinos, majority of which did not want this to happen and are actively speaking out against the looming dictatorship. dropping filipino creators does nothing but hurt us. our inflation rates are predicted to rise, and money is fast becoming an even bigger issue for so so many
so if youre looking for art, dont give up on us. commission filipino artists and/or boost commission posts! 1 USD is literally enough to buy a meal here, it really helps. here is a link to a thread of filipino artists posting their commission rates. and here is another thread of filipino commission rates. tips and donations outside of comms to these artists help even more.

I keep hate-reading plague literature from the medieval era, but as depressed as it makes me there is always one historical tidbit that makes me feel a little bittersweet and I like to revisit it. That’s the story of the village of Eyam.
Eyam today is a teeny tiny town of less than a thousand people. It has barely grown since 1665 when its population was around 800.
Where the story starts with Eyam is that in August 1665 the village tailor and his assistant discovered that a bolt of cloth that they had bought from London was infested with rat fleas. A few days later on September 7th the tailor’s assistant George Viccars died from plague.
Back then people didn’t fully understand how disease spread, but they knew in a basic sense that it did spread and that the spread had something to do with the movement of people.
So two religios leaders in the town, Thomas Stanley and William Mompesson, got together and came up with a plan. They would put the entire village of Eyam under quarantine. And they did. For over a year nobody went in and nobody went out.
They put up signs on the edge of town as warning and left money in vinegar filled basins that people from out of town would leave food and supplies by.
Over the 14 months that Eyam was in quarantine 260 out of the 800 residents died of plague. The death toll was high, the cost was great.
However, they did successfully prevent the disease from spreading to the nearby town of Sheffield, even then a much bigger town, and likely saved the lives of thousands of people in the north of England through their sacrifice.
So I really like this story, because it’s a sad story, because it’s also a beautiful story. Instead of fleeing everyone in this one place agreed that they would stay, and they saved thousands of people. They stayed just to save others and I guess it’s one of those good stories about how people have always been people, for better or worse.
Here’s the thing. One third of the residents of Eyam died during their quarantine, but the Black Plague was known to have a NINETY PERCENT death rate. As high as the toll was, it wasn’t as high as it should have been. And a few hundred years later, some historians and doctors got to wondering why.
Fortunately, Eyam is one of those wonderful places that really hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years. Researchers, going to visit, found that many of the current residents were direct descendants of the plague survivors from the 1600s. By doing genetic testing, they learned that a high number of Eyam residents carried a gene that made them immune to the plague. And still do.
And it gets even better than that, because the gene that blocks the Black Plague? Also turns out to block AIDS, and was instrumental in helping to find effective medication for people who have HIV and AIDS in the 21st century.
Here is a lovely, well-produced documentary about Eyam and its disease resistance. It’s a little under an hour. Trigger warning for general disease and epidemic-type stuff, but also, maybe it will help you have some hope in these alarmly uncertain times.
So you want to make an OC?: A Masterpost of Ways to Create, Develop, and Make Good OCs!
i made this masterpost in hopes that it helps you in making your own OCs ah;; it can also apply to developing RP characters i suppose! if you’d like to add more resources then go for it sugar pea (´ヮ`)!
EDIT (10/16/18): edited my disclaimer (below) before diving into the huge chunk of information here! also included new resources and links to writing disabled and nonbinary characters. happy researching! <3
1. i made this post when i was like 14? 15? so as such: the information researched here is very, very old. a lot of it, imo, is no longer relevant! especially with language use (ESPECIALLY if you’re reblogging the old version of the post that had links to an article about gender/sexuality. i’ve removed that. i’ve removed also the mary sue/gary stue chunk because my values have changed since) the point is, the resources here will not always fit in with what we need as time goes on.
2. these resources are not law!! i made this post because i was and still am very passionate about ocs. this resource was intended to be a sounding board for when u have ideas you want to further delve into and you’re not entirely sure where to begin. it’s not the only resource out there, and sometimes, the best sounding board will be you!!! follow ur heart. ocs are fun. this post was never, ever meant to tell you how to write your own characters but help broaden ur knowledge if u found urself limited in an area (this was first made with a white, abled, cishet audience in mind!)
3. i’ve gotten some great notes and commentary on this post and things i want to explore more since making this post roughly 5 years ago. things are very, very different. i have better resources for a LOT of these, and have more i want to tack on! but i simply can’t find the time for it, so until I do: i’ve removed a lot of links here that i found harmful and irrelevant to today, but i haven’t combed through all of them and can’t lead you to what i think is best. research yourselves! you’ll learn lots.
4. and in closing, thanks for reading! this a/n got off on a tangent so that’s that, LMAO. go forth and develop your ocs!!! and tell me about them!!! or tell me if you have fresh sources or a better perspective or just wanna call me out. this post is 100% open to criticism because it’s imperative to keep growing and learn as much as possible and be as whole and mindful as possible. this world is full of diverse, incredible creators who have contributed so much to telling their stories. let their knowledge guide you, not a silly post made 5-6 years ago. <3
