i hate thermidorian propaganda as much as everybody else in this fandom (it still feels weird to call it that, but wtv), but aesthetically speaking, robespierre becoming a tyrant and playing god with saint-just acting as his sword-weilding, bloodthirsty archangel is not without its poetic interest. I'm just saying.

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore
@mystirixana i feel like that is smt you would say
it's crazy that madame tussauds has been around since the 1800s. they barely had celebrities back then. "ooh its a wax sculpture of voltaire" bitch how would you know
Your trauma is valid if it took you years to admit it was trauma in the first place.
Louis Antoine Saint-Just, Arthur Rimbaud, Jean Samuel, and Ridan are the only 4 French men to have ever passed the vibe check π€·
Everybody's avatars (would that even be the right word in this context?) look so good!
Thank you @trainwrecker for the tag! I had such a fun time! (also, woah, nice art! I wish that I could draw like that (practice, i know... but still!))
I was going for a Percy-Shelley-in-Italy type of look, and I think it worked out pretty well! I just wished that the coat could turn brown or a deep shade of blue or green.
I am knee-deep in the French Revolution fandom rn, but I'll get around to posting more about the Romantics and Italy at some point.
Tagging... ummmmm... @s-ashaesthetic because they helped me with Saint-Just's name, @robesmoulins because I love their art, and @thelanterneattorney because I NEED to see Camille's take on this (this is solely if y'all feel up to it, of course).
I tag @red-skady @superchat @eviligo @maplepastry @nek0hime13 @bestgirlsyndrome @gentlesakura @games2girlsdotcom @deadlycoffee @bunny-stickers @starbitsun @888lvl @little-ikea-waldo @delanore-roosevelt @fefeps @imnevernice no pressure at all!!
If anyone else wants to join dont hesitate to reblog!!
Thank you so much! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Does anyone know how Saint -Just's name would have been pronounced?
I finally watched Un peuple et son roi, and they pronounced the "Just" as "Ju", which struck me as strange. French is my first language, and instinctively, I would have pronounced the "-st" part of his name too...
But this might be an older French pronunciation? Or maybe it would have depended on the region?
awwwwwwww π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί
