Je suis malade.

tsuru_sanMeh, have spent the day sick and out of school. I have the most evil sore throat, fever, and headache ever. I almost tried to push myself to go to school today, but I couldn't quite manage, not even with Advil. Grr. >.< Thankfully though I was able to get some sleep for most of the morning. A bit later I got up and put on the History Channel's The French Revolution DVD (which I bought 20% off yesterday. w00t!).
It was really good imho. It wasn't particularly biased in anyone's favor, and I ended up sympathizing with pretty much everybody at some point, even the revolutionary, Danton (whom I hate) and Marie-Antoinette. Robespierre in particular was portrayed very well. Whoever did the casting chose a great guy for his part. *grin* Sadly, Saint-Just wasn't in it at all save for a brief mention.
While it was playing, I also sketched this little doodle of Robespierre. It was spawned by this quote by him: "Virtue without which terror is murderous, terror without which virtue is powerless. Terror is nothing else than swift, severe, indomitable justice; it flows, then, from virtue."
Also, I finally finished a Hamilton/Lafayette picture which was requested by both Jestana from deviantART and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Title: "Pleased to make your acquaintance."
Fandom: American Revolutionary War
Pairing: very mildly Marquis de Lafayette/Alexander Hamilton
Rating: G
I just love how Lafayette (guy on the right) turned out. Rather elegant even though his hand was a royal pain to draw. Hamilton (guy on the left) turned out okay, but for some reason his hair kind of reminded me of Thomas Jefferson (which is rather funny since Hamilton and Jefferson couldn't stand each other). Eh, I'll see if I can do a better job with him next time.
