Warning, unserious oc lore-drop incoming
(This is very much still a wip, so stuff might change in the future, probably when I have more time to do research lol)
Most of the story takes place during the empire
+ some of the more important side characters
In short, they're all messy people who are effed up in their own unique ways, trying to do what they think is best (and making everything worse instead)
Feel free to ask questions about them!! (there is nothing I enjoy more than yapping about my ocs)
The urge to dwelve into the rich history, delight in interpreting sources, and try to represent the past as accurately as possible
vs.
The urge to draw old men yaoi
Look at me painting Larrey again
I thought I'd dedicate him a more ambitious piece since he's one of my favorite historical characters and genuinely almost inspired me to become a doctor lol
Forgot to post this, but I recently remembered one of the monuments erected 1899 to commemorate the two battles of Z眉rich
there's a poem on the back, thought I'd give an English translation
How our town suffered a hundred years ago, When the stranger fought with the stranger, When bullets rang through the silent forest, The columns of fire smoked, Flags waved, The father tells the son and he then admonishes the grandson: Boy become a man! Even if those old wounds healed, Don't forget how our mothers suffered; The enemy's army devoured the children's bread, The misery was great, immense was the hardship! If the city is never to experience such suffering, The coming generation must rally: Keep watch and hold the defense, To protect Swiss borders, Swiss honour!
Even though the city itself remained pretty much unharmed, the poem makes reference to the uh- abundantly-practiced act of looting that took place in order to feed the armies

Ach Jomini
sideburns as in 19th century, not as in weird uncle that should probably be on some kind of watch list
stupid oc comic i had forgotten about
don't call the frenchman english
Anyway, his name is 脡tienne Beno卯t (de) Kerdrel, and he's from a minor breton noble family (although he did relinquish his titles during the revolution), so very much french
