I am married to Sanson

Our aesthetic : Gothic fantasy with a touch of clockpunk.

The backgrounds :

Now...I cannot find online pictures of the flooded parts of the Paris catacombs, probably because they are too dark to photograph.

Also inspo taken from the book : "Chronique du Monde Noir, Livre des Monstres", the works of Édouard Brasey, folklore of France and the British Isles, and from Grec mythology, but also the case of the "Blond skeleton of Saint-Laurent". I just cannot show it here.

Now...For her looks...Since part of her will be inspired by the Blond Skeleton...She'll be ash blond. Also...I want her to look like she's both a part of the catacombs, but rebelling in her way against the darkness.

Well, I recycled her from my prose practice...

She'll live in a fairly cold and wet climate...So coats.

Something like this, but a lot less colorful and woolen, and maybe even a cute little Watteau pleat in the back.

I imagine her work clothes would be quite stained, probably with blood and posthumous fluids. Mathurine would be her make-shift name...But I am not fully happy with it.

A very bony color palette for her clothing...This is work clothes...So it would all be quite stained.

For her Sunday best...I would imagine her looks would be quite cute, doll-like...But perhaps still a little bit ethereal...Maybe ?

I think...Something more cute and frilly...But I am unsure what.

The main heroine gets eventually adopted by a family of them, and she finds her prospective adoptive mother terrifiying. Just, imagine being weak and sick, surrounded by a species that is eerily similar to conventionally attractive humans and go deep into the uncanny valley, the one of which has broken your wrist, but he's also the only one treating you as a human being instead of a ticking time bomb, and helps you, quite underaged and isolated, find a family who'll take you. They also practice rituals you do not understand and are very gory, such as ripping out the wings of each youngster as soon as they pop out, and you've seen other members of their species, and know how sensitive those limbs are. The local law requires GM to be perfomed on all parties for the adoption to be formalized. You're perspective adoptive father treats you as a brat when you attempt to refuse, and accuses you of being so hooked on sexual pleasure you're willing to become a museum artifact. Now, the perspective adoptive mother is the one who cooks the corpses of the condmned for food and medicine, and without some of their catiledge and soft tissues, they look near indistinguishable from human remains, and are indistinguishable to the untrained eye exept for the shoulder blade bones.

Do you think this approach of elves is interesting, since they are straight up horror here ? My drows have the look of the classic fantasy elves, but the Drows, while beautiful, are more...horror than "ooh, sexy anime villain".

Because of this, I can't stop imagining him sipping either linden or rowan tea. Oh...And he might have had birch or hazel leaf tea (waste not want not).

Oh, I am way too in love with the clumsy gentleman executioner with an unusual talent to flee torches and pitchforks.

"I educated my two sons on the art of fleeing crowds, a much necessary skill, I daresay. The process was quite unpleasant, but as a father, I just...couldn't not do it in good consience. Do you believe such skills should be democratized ? Having individuals largely immune to the threats of the lantern might be difficult to govern."

I will tell you only this, citizen.

The important thing is to ensure justice for all, when the crowds will not have the need to act so violently. Then no one will have to flee from them.

The task of good government, then, is to ensure that the authorities are not corrupt. It must carefully select its officials and see to it that those who wrong the people cannot escape just punishment through wealth or influence.

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.

So let me scream it from the hilltops:

Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.

For example, being exposed to corporal punishment as a kid makes it more likely for a person to commit domestic violence against a partner. In places where corporal punishment is normal, people are more likely to think that rape and intimate partner violence are normal. Kids who are spanked are more likely to be violent with and to bully other kids.

Spanking is literally teaching a kid that violence is okay and normal and it affects the whole society.

I wonder the same for Laito, who is someone who believes love is lust.

All right sorry for the late reply but let's do this Also I apologize if I get anything wrong or anything has changed last time I checked your OC was a boy

Ayato:

The way I see him bonding with the kid is at first finding the kids behavior pathetic but deciding he might as well take the kid under his wing so ultimately the kid is no longer a punching bag because he's got a redheaded psycho protecting him although I do see ayato being somewhat abusive because I highly doubt platonic or romantic no relationship with a vampire will be healthy especially given his jealousy so in a platonic way he hates the idea of the kid being with anybody else are bonding with anybody else The only one he won't go after and terrorize for being close with a kid would be yui and kianna

Azusa:

Would find the kid cute and finds it confusing when the child doesn't enjoy the abuse so instead of letting the kid endure it he decides to take it himself because more pleasure for him and with him being so odd when the kids try to bully the boy Azusa just steps in and asks them to bully him instead which creeps them out and ends up with them running away Which ultimately ends up protecting the kid

Laito:

Régions culinaires importantes :

Sud Ouest : Le climat méditérranéen y domine, rendant assez accessible une forte culture de blé, de millet et d'orge. Ces régions ont également la possibilité d'avoir de bons vergers de pommes, de cormiers, d'amandiers, de poiriers, de grenadiers, d'oliviers et de figuiers, chaque petite village ayant ses propres variétés, mais la viticulture reste majoritaire. Dans les régions les plus méridionales, on cultive plusieurs variétés d'oranges amères et de cédrat, bien que cela reste des produits de luxe, de même que le carob. Les plantes condimentaires n'y manque pas : oignon, ail, persil, romarin, fennouil, cumin, moutarde, lavende, basilic, sauge, thym, ciboulette, menthe et coriendre. Les régions sont très productrices d'olives. Le terrain rocailleux et les étés ensolleillés permettent une très bonne production de légumineuse, qui dans les régions montagneuses, forment même l'essenciel de l'apport calorique journalier. Les pois de toutes sortes sont préférés, en de multiples espèces et variétées, sans oublier les lentilles en terrains plus plat. Les légumes stars sont les poireaux, les épinards et les artichauds. Les aubergines sont souvent assez mal vues en raison de persécutions religieuses. Pour les protéines animales, les produits laitiers sont majoritaires, en particuliers issus du lait de chèvres et de brebies. Les sortes de fromages se comptent par centaines, sans bien sur oublier le beurre et les produits de petit lait fermenté. Pour ce qui est du reste, il y a des oeufs, en particuliers dans les régions trop exigue pour l'élevage de cochons. Quand elle est disponible, la viande porcine est appréciée, et la plus recherchée est celle de cochons nourris aux glands. Cependant, les parties les plus recherchées dépendent fortement des régions. Dans certaines, il s'agit du foie, dans d'autre des pattes et dans d'autre du lard. Bien que la viande de récupération est consommée, la plus fréquente reste le lapin, car l'animal est petit et facile à nourrir. Poissons et fruits de mer ne sont pas en reste. Mais l'essenciel du régime est végétal. Les récentes découvertes introduirent courges et poivrons le long de la côte Ouest, de nouvelles variétés, plus adaptées, commencent à faire leur apparition.

Heck, the Victorians invented painful chastity belts to use on their own kids. The clients paying for Kellogg's circumcisions and clitorectomies (without anesthesia) were all wealthy. Heck, chinese foot binding had originated in upper classes, and FGM is theorized to have originated within the late Egyptian pheroes. (Which makes Cleopatra's motivations likely political rather than sexual.)

So, historically, a lot of torture methods and devices and services were made for the children of the elite. They weren't frustration, but calculated.

Since these elites had mistreated horrifically their own children, they also pushed that aggression outward.

interesting! do you have resources on that?

i can't say i'm surprised. oppressive classes' (like the nobility) goal when it comes to education is about enforcing rigid social norms and preparing their children to espouse a role of violence and domination over those they exploit. so of course providing a violent upbringing and teaching them violence and torture are normal to some extent will lead these traumatized children to grow into adults who think perpetuating violence is normal
