i’ve been let out of studying + demotivation jail and now i get to revisit old interests like tllh 🫶 i also have a gift to give

it’s my oc!!!!!!! rochelle laurent!!!!!!! hello rochelle!!!!!!! (was lucille if you were an og on my blog)

if u haven’t seen her yes this is my oc i still love her sm 💙

some facts ↓

- her birthday is the 3rd of may; she is 13 in 1940 and 18 in 1945

- from paris, so like the bonhoures, she isn’t rlly familiar with living in the countryside for long

- has an older brother (louis, 16), a younger sister (faustine, 9) and a pet cat

- avid trinket collector. can and will go as far as to stealing belongings from the garrison ( #1 wehrmacht hater )

- extremely stubborn; insisted that she can live and get through the war without any friends but louis lowk forced her to find some so she (unwillingly) became friends with the robinsons. she does end up becoming close friends with muguette and ernest

- alongside this, she is prone to bad headaches which causes her to be irritable frequently ( basically, has a pretty unfortunate personality that she can’t help )

- loves english literature, especially gothic. she loves ann radcliffe and the brontë sisters.

- she gradually starts to get a bit better with relationships towards the end of the war, gaining more trust from everyone 🫶

HELLO i was the ernest/charlie (charlie-the-victorian-art-of-misery or smth lmao) person that would post my oc lucille religiously here back in 2024 😛 she had a super upgrade maybe i’ll post her here again but i’ve distanced myself from the tllh fandom so i upload what i want when i want🐎

[lady-cuirassier]

i miss when wuthering heights was taken seriously + it’s fans were made up of creative and enthusiastic people like j&h, frankenstein, dracula, dorian grey etc

i keep seeing this myth ALL over youtube shorts and tiktok…

NO!! corsets didn’t hurt anyone!! nope, they didn’t squeeze organs and crush bones. they were made for supporting posture or body parts such as the spine or chest. a few examples would be early 1800s cavalrymen using stays/corsets to keep a straight posture on horses, or the corset literally being a predecessor of bras.

corsets would be painful if the corset itself was made of cheap materials or didn’t fit your form.

the killer corset myth came from men who liked to complain all the time.
