and here's me in all my unyassified glory :')

feel free to add yours below!!

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?

✨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.)

Sigh

Thank you @alchemyfire!

I'm so honoured 😊

last song: Une sorcière comme les autres by Anne Sylvestre & Pauline Julien. It is such a beautiful song, and I have it on repeat at all times.

last book: I finished both Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy and Le Présomptueux / l'Heureux imaginaire by Fabre d'Églantine (yes, that one) yesterday, so I'll count them both

last movie: Un peuple et son roi / One nation one king (2018)

last TV show: ummmmmm... I don't really watch TV shows... I guess I'd have to go with AMC's Interview with a Vampire, even if I only watched the first few episodes

last thing i googled: "antoine grec origine" because I was trying to understand the link between 'Antoine' and 'Florelle' and all sources that I could find were giving me the latin origins of 'Antoine', when I was trying to find the ancient greek ones 😔

the french republics summarized

First Republic: hundreds of angry lawyers with divergent political opinions stuck in the same room (it makes for amazing entertainment)

Second Republic: "President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte"? Sounds perfectly safe to me!

Third Republic: WE FUCKING HATE THE GERMANS 😡

Fourth Republic:

Fifth Republic: Ah, finally a republic that is actually stable! ...wait a minute-

Quick question

I finally - FINALLY!!! - have time to do some research on French History for fun again, and I was wondering if any of yall could recommend me historian-approved biographies (in French, English, or Italian) of these fine gentlemen:

Saint-Just, Raymond Naves, and Mallarmé

Thank you so much in advance ❤️

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.

And I'm glad you enjoyed the song :')
