It's Because Of This One Portrait Of Napoleon, I Think?

Mark Antony's speech in The Tradedy of Julius Caesar is exactly what I imagine Saint-Just doing in the 'SJ survives Thermidor' AU. It genuinely works soooooo well in my head😭

I need to write a french rev version of the speech once I get more free time, because the images I get when I think of it are driving me insane

@mystirixana this is so elo, i can't

Yea..

✨Antoine Leaument, the french deputy, everyone. ✨

Is he a saintspierre shipper? 😩

He asked me if he can post this tweet:

Translation: "Saint-Just was Robespierre's best companion and there are certainly histories we don't know."

He writes Robespierre x Saint-Just, I'm SCREAMING.

Antoine Leaument: Me, no. But Taleonne, yes !

Hope he will post it. 🤣 (I'm building an armor against haters.)

"Average person discovers infinitely many infinities per year" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average person discovers 0 infinities per year. Cantor Georg, who introduced the diagonal argument and discovered infinitely many infinities in 1891 alone, is an outlier and cannot be counted.

You are not responsible for the actions of another person. This means that what they did to you was on them, not you.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH

I was slowly going crazy reading articles after articles, books after books, and never finding the greek origins!!! And so I was on a wild goose chase afterall...

Saint-Just can definitely keep this dream if it makes him happy, he deserves it.

On the hundredth day after the new year the heralds come to the doors of the city, announcing the arrival of the Golden Caravan at the farthest stop of its route ; like every year, citizens and travellers will surely gather at the western door to see it come to pass.

Right behind the banners as customary are the sculptor priests, foremost of the stonemason orders, bringing in this year's votive masterwork for the festivities. The black and white steppe oxen precede the arrival of the head guild architect, charged with the safekeeping of the citizens' sacred geometry. The graduating apprentices and newly welcomed novices walk besides the draftsroom carriage, bearing the icons of the Citizen Architects Guild : ardor and patience. Out of the kilns of the imperial workshops come delicate masterwork sought after the world over ; the sister-ceramists are selected from various key regions of the trade system and bring their local styles to the imperial production. Those workshops are the northernmost stop on the caravan's route.

Behind the masons, the torchbearers announce the arrival of the metalworkers' guilds, chief of which the head goldsmith on a palanquin of her own design. The braseros and forges are continuously tended by guild kindlers as to remain lit throughout the entire voyage of the caravan. Second to last comes the host of the manticore, behind the braseros of the master kindlers. It is believed that the creature requires her caretakers to be pure of heart and most diligent ; the honour is bestowed only on the highest performing apprentices of the smithing guilds. On the last day finally, behind the last of the apprentices, the crones of the chain count the days left to craft, keeping misfortune at work away, and, some even say, Death itself.

Why was Camille guillotined in GERMINAL of all months!!! Everytime I read articles on him (so basically every night), I get Germinal by Zola flashbacks and I have to go lay down and cry for an hour or so 😭😭😭
