"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.

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…

RGB

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

In case you aren’t familiar, Michael Scott Moore and David Rohde are both journalists. Moore was held by Somali pirates for 977 days. Rohde was held captive by the Taliban for 7 months after being abducted in Afghanistan.

@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

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 :')

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-

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).

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 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 😔

sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet!

relationship status: Single and too traumatized by situationships to start dating anyone for a long time

looking forward to: Have enough free time to write my silly little poems again

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?

reblog to tell the person you reblogged this from that they are deserving of love and affection

3 has become my default mode, I'm afraid

Robespierre moodboard tag yourself

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.

Robespierre is truly looking everywhere for these foreign plots...

today in philosophy class

i love when philosophers and mathematicians argue ❤️❤️

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...

Controversial opinion, probably?

I just feel like they have very similar personalities, but widely different roles and symbolisms (at least in the books...)

everytime i finish to read/watch french rev media, I add its robespierre to the chart

(i couldn't find which one is crito in that painting, so I assumed it was him, idk)
