I have a framed photo of my great grandfather stood over the skin of a Bengal tiger with his wife as he was stationed in Imperial India.
Its, well, it's a rather loaded photo

That sounds both hilarious and dark as shit. My favorite type of comedy.

He was a pretty hardcore dude. Ended up serving in the Boer War, WW1 Cavalry and eventually India all before he even had kids. It was a close dice for my bloodline a couple times
Well, for what it’s worth I’m glad you’re here. Great grandpa sounds like Detective Drake from Ripper Street lmao

Lol same here. My great grandfather on my dads side was a waiste gunner in a b-17. Wrote poetry to his wife during all this and eventually got his arm shot off mid flight. They managed to reattach it and sent him home. And that was after growing up in the great depression.
Fun family you’ve got. I just have a bunch of royals and nobles.
My paternal grandmother had a portrait of one of our late-Middle Ages ancestors from Artois. I forget who, but I already need to ask for Yamu so I’ll post her answer here too.
But yeah, for a family that has a proud military tradition, my family has a surprisingly small number of horror stories like your respective family members.
Probably cause I come from a line of officers, who don’t do the heavy lifting usually.
Suck it peasants, I have everything and you have nothing....
At least until great grandfather Jacques forced granpa Olivíer to move to America when he squandered our fortune. Eh.

Doubt all you like, I’ll send a pic of the portrait and coats of arms at some point. Maternally I’m a lot less storied. From the Babineau family, an old and powerful but relatively obscure family.

The irony is that both my paternal and maternal French ancestors hailed from Artois, which means they likely met one another or knew of each other centuries before they intermarried.
Or I’m inbred.

I dont even know what I'm looking at.
That sounds dangerously revolutionary, citizen.
A map of the county of Artois where my family came from, circa 1789.
Don’t laugh, for all you know Patrick Stewart founded the colony that became Picardy (or Picardie in French).
See you next year.
Edit. Shaved because my beard got itchy

Nice hair.
The People who did have now been cut from my life.
I'm looking forward to getting rid of it.

You really have the programmer/game developer look down. I can just picture you being interviewed about a games development.
Funnily enough, I used to do Game Tech at Uni.
But I dropped it after it was destroying my mental health. Plus I hate coding
