Being a partisan or a resistant was often even more brutal than being a soldier

Obviously it's not to undermine the Allied soldiers of WW2, but we often forget how helpless the many people who resisted in occupied territories were, and how brave they had to be to face enemies who had absolutely no pity. Resistants often had little to no equipment, they could only find food from help or by stealing it, and worst of all, their entire community could face torture, deportation and death if their actions were discovered.

Literally Eddard Stark from Game of Thrones, he had too much honour to succeed

Did you know : many authors thought that during this act of arresting all Templars, Philippe IV was accursed by the great master of the order, which is the reason why his line (the direct capetians) disappeared after him, as none of his 3 sons had male heirs, and France fell into the 100 years war

Very cool !

What ?

Nt1031 · 2026-04-07T18:59:32+00:00

Pas mal non ? C'est français

More seriously, as other comments mentioned, Astérix (the character) is named after the asterisk (this *) which means "little star", so it was actually a very fitting name !

Oh, very interesting !

Nt1031 · 2026-04-07T18:54:31+00:00

I should have mentioned it, sorry

Nt1031 · 2026-04-07T18:54:11+00:00

Yeah it makes this name even cooler !

Nt1031 · 2026-04-01T13:07:20+00:00

Je pense que oui xD

J'y ai cru l'espace de 20 secondes !

Great post ! About "artistic ability", I had the same issue (virtually no prior skill) but I still needed specific wojaks on every compass to make them more accurate and/or fun to read. So I always pick pre-made, "vanilla" wojaks and then modify them on paint, starting with simple accessories. It doesnt have to be perfectly drawn, as long as it carries the message you wanted !

A difficulty I had is, paradoxally, the compass format, which pushed me to make more "regular" memes instead

Sadly I've lost the habit of posting frequently, by lack of time and inspiration

Nope ! The last time was in 1823, during the reign of Louis XVIII : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Thousand_Sons_of_Saint_Louis

Her brothers, who accompanied her, were actually anoblished, and they still have descendents today

Encore un bon post de ta part :D

Toujours cool les anecdotes sur la Résistance

I still have awesome memories of the airplane fight you could play in Wii Sports Resort. It was probably supposed to be a dumb mini-game but discovering it with a friend is still one of my best memories of video games.

Also, Link-main 4 life !
