YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE

Lafayette

Carnot

Voting ended onJun 28

Lafayette age ~34 and 68.

Carnot age 38 and 60.

[saintjustitude]

Lafayette put up a fair fight with 39 votes but Carnot decidedly won with 58 people choo-choo-choosing him!

Now let us celebrate our true hero:

He's just a little guy (who kinda orchestrated the first Red Scare and the repression of the Babouvistes)~!

I... am a bit confused about your choices frevblr, but there you go! When asked which soldier-politician trainwreck to pick, you chose... that one. Huh.

Which Saint-Just from LTELV do you feel like today?

Yes, I know they all look like the same emotion, but if you’re an expert in Saint-Just’s moods and Denis Manuel’s range, you can tell that they’re each different shades of despair, resignation, frustration, betrayal and hopelessness.

I recommend you read the alt text.

Thank you to the person who liked that post (hi 👋) because it reminded me how great those alt descriptions are:

1. "Maxime, why are you betraying our ideal of a social republic? I thought it was what you wanted. If you hadn't been so ill we would have been making out over the Ventôse Decrees."

2. "Alright then. At least the soldiers understand me. Not the generals. And certainly not our dear colleagues at the military affairs. Maybe a cannonball will hit me and I won't need to deal with this bullshit anymore."

3. "Maxime, I literally just came back from the armies, why are you doing this now?! Are you really leaving me alone with them?? And why do you keep saying such mean things like I would choose them??"

4. "Dear Supreme Being it's a good thing I love this man because I might do or say something I regret."

5. "So much for trying to fix this shit."

6. "And I decided to make it my life purpose to defend this man. And appeal to friendship. I feel like such a dumbass."

7. "Fuck it. I will love you even in hell."

8. "Well, we're gonna die, and I knew it, and it was all for nothing."

9. "Well, we're gonna die, and I knew it, but maybe it wasn't all for nothing."

"my daughter turned out fine" ma'am your son knows each of the Lieutenants from HMS Terror's 1845 voyage by name age and birthplace. And he has strong opinions on each of their sex lives.

may i ask for modern au saintspierre 🙏🙏

(maybe meeting modern au hamburr if you want idk)

Ok in a city of which has magically combined NYC and Paris, SJ (I say who is an TA in a college maybe sociology class) and Robespierre (librarian or antique bookstore owner or some teaching job) organize protests on streets(in this case, is against AI), the same time Hamburr pass by while Hamilton complains a lot about how the protests and strikes has caused inconvenience and Burr is just disassociating thinking of how to hook up with Hamilton

I think I just realized that some people genuinely don't seem to know why some media make Robespierre and Saint-Just cartoonishly evil and my autistic brain which has studied the whole phenomenon for 20 years can't quite wrap itself around the concept. I'm genuinely baffled.

HISTORY MOCK WENT WELL!! the frev question was ‘how accurate is it to say that robespierre’s unpopularity led to the end of the terror’ which was literally perfect

Today, 5 Messidor, is the day of the mulet (the mule) and I know it's the animal but I feel we should also celebrate Camille Desmoulins' 80s mullet haircut in La Révolution Française (1989)
