yeah, same 😔

But we did slay, I fear

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?

I hope that one day men will stop consuming as much garbage as Tate and one day they will know the story of Saint Just.

Tate would die if he had to live a day in S.J.'s life.

Thank you @alchemyfire!

I'm so honoured 😊

It's because of this one portrait of Napoleon, I think?

Le général Bonaparte, also called Portrait inachevé de Bonaparte, by Jacques-Louis David (1798)

Someone admitted in my inbox that they liked, reblogged and saved that one image of this Saint-Just art I drew of him in his military uniform because he looks like young Napoleon and anon stares at the drawing and imagines it’s him. I dont know how to feel about this…

Might I add to this incredible playlist?

Hozier - "I, Carrion (Icarian)"

Florence and the Machine - "Never Let Me Go"

Ace of Base - "Happy Nation"

The Cranberries - "Dreams"

Édith Piaf - "Hymne à l'Amour"

Mumford and Sons - "Guiding Light"

Aaron Tveit - "There's a World / Hero and Leander"

(and just for the vibes, even if they would hate the lyrics: Lana del Rey - "National Anthem")

If Saintspierre had a playlist, what would be on it? I've been trying to make a playlist.

I have thought of the following (some for pretty obvious reasons and other's just because I feel like they have a Saintspierre vibe):

- Birds of a feather (by Billie Eilish)

- El Amor de Mi Vida (by Camilo Sesto)

- My way of life (by Frank Sinatra)

- Your Song (by Elton John)

- Die with a smile (by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars)

That's all I have rn, lol. I wanted to add more positive ones, and while I do listen to lots of more positive music, I think I started to overthink, and it turned into a sad Saintspierre playlist 🙃. So I'm gonna try and think of a playlist that has a more complete feel to it, but if people wanna add songs, that would be fun. I'm very bored because I'm recovering from a concussion (not serious, lol) and can't actually put my brain into something productive, so I'm just trying to entertain myself. Also, also, that's a wall of text, omg...

Marie Antoinette, before being executed was already 38, the same age as Bertrand Barère, always protrayed as a teen girl with innocence. Maximilien Robespierre, a man 3 years younger than Antoinette, always looked old like in the mid-50s in many films/plays/games/cartoons...

Update: Barère: So it is likely that I am protrayed as an attractive teenager😆

What if the whole frevblr unites and creates an accurate frev movie that is like 9 hours long and we stream it on all streaming platforms and cinemas and make sure the whole world sees it cause we are all fucking tired of seeing the French Revolution portrayed inaccurately in every single piece of media ever?

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