#aide-de-camp

Hello!! I hope you're doing well in this disintegrating world (that got dark quite quickly)! I just wanted to tell you that I love your art super much a lot (English is cooling) and I love your AmRev comics :) and I wanted to ask you if I could use your designs of the aides in the fanfiction I'm writing (while crediting you of course) because I'm pretty sure we don't have any physical representations of some of them, like Meade. Or if you don't, it's completely ok and I understand your wanting of me not using our designs. Thank you and have an awesome day :D

Hi! Yes, I'm hanging in there haha. Of course you're allowed to do that! I'm really flattered and honored when people feel inspired by my art :)

Bonus: I drew GW's aides/the military family in 1776 here!

Personal staff. Vincent's personal staff consists of valet (not shown), an aide-de-camp, and an executive officer. The aide is in charge of paper work, opening and closing the door to Vincent's office or dugout, and he is permitted to give military advice, though he may be easily ignored. The Oberst has god-like powers over his sector (whichever village he is occupying) similar to how a naval captain has full control of his vessel. The job of the E.O is to confirm that the Oberst's orders are agreeable and sane, he's the only person officially permitted to challenge the Oberst's authority. Complete incompetence or cowardice will swiftly have any staff officer discharged or mutinied against.

Gearóid O’Sullivan, then 25, was the youngest IRB officer fighting in the GPO (three months younger than his cousin Michael Collins). He had been personally chosen by leader Seán Mac Diarmada to serve as his aide-de-camp. He was an Irish teacher, Irish language scholar, army officer, barrister and Sinn Féin and Fine Gael politician. Following the Rising, he was interned in Frongoch in Wales with…

I've posted a new fanfic to my AO3! And it's NOT my mermaid au (SHOCKER). I've been working on this for a hot second, usually in tandem with worse than sharks. I would regularly sit with both tabs open, writing both fics at the same time. Enjoy the fruits of my madness!

Washington’s Aide-De-Camp sleeping and work rooms. And where this quote took place...                                                                                                                       Meade writes you all that is interesting, and conducts the most weighty matters with a great deal of seeming sagacity. He thrust himself up the chimney this morning, while we were dressing round the fire, in order, to be more at liberty as I supposed to read your letter, or hide any thing it might contain, from profane eyes. This peculiarity was soon followed by another. In short, he managed the business with so much management, that had I been less attentive to his operations I must have found out their object.

From James McHenry to Alexander Hamilton, 18 March 1780                    

Sadly the guide couldn’t confirm to me exactly which chimney it was but I posed with the one I could access to show the sizing.
