I just KNOW we can make a Frev version of this. I have started trying to crack the code but I need help. My efforts so far:
changes or additions both welcome!
Please explain the beef in little words, I am new to the fandom and wish to learn about the tea.
Citizens, this man has a French Revolution ancestor. Can you guess who? Credit to @frevandrest for reminding me he exists! đ€
Found a whole article on him, for those interested!!
Highlights include:
The use of that portrait of Fouché on the first page
"One time when I was a bit drunk I put the coat on [Fouché's red velvet coat]. It fiited me perfectly."
"The Incorruptible had been corrupted by his own power"= baby đ is, unsurprisingly, a thermidorian
Baby Fouché is officially called Charles Louis d'Otrante with no mention of "Fouché", but his sisters Joséphine, Pauline and Marguerite are named Fouché.
If anyone's curious: he's a descendant of Athanase Fouché.
In 2015 (year of the article) he was single and living alone: so it was possible to seduce him break into his home and steal the coat, I guess
Time to seduce visit baby fouché, citizens
my time has COME, time to seduce this man

TIL âYankee Doodleâ was written by the British to mock americans. âDoodleâ is thought to come from the German âdödelâ, meaning âfoolâ or âsimpletonâ and âmacaroni,â a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in oneâs cap made them a âdandy.â
via reddit.com
so youâre telling me that âstuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroniâ would be like saying âwrote a G on his belt and called it gucciâ
thatâsâŠa pretty good analogy actually
US moron came to town
Hunting for some coochie
Wrote a G up on his belt
And this bitch called it Gucci
Seeing my notifications get flooded with this every July 4th is the only thing I respect about America
I demand random De Sade facts
- Almost accidentally burned down a house when he was a teenager in the military, by setting off a firework to celebrate a victory
- Had three dogs in Lacoste named Gros-Dodu, Dragon, and Thisbe
- Was President of the Piques Section during the Revolution for like, a day, before he resigned
- Was technically Voltaire's Nephew-in-Law through two marriages and an adoption
- Asked for a puppy to keep in his jail cell with him
- Fouché had Sade's journals and dildos confiscated at Charenton. Sade was very upset and Coulmier had to console him
- Did not know how to sweep a floor and requested lessons to learn
- Nearly suffocated himself in the Grotta del Cane in Italy. For the sake of looking sciencey
- Had bad hemorrhoids and needed a special pillow to sit on
- Wore glasses
- Could sing
- Was shot at point blank range, but the gun misfired, saving his life
Did he get the puppy in jail? I find that fucking adorable as fuck.

I've been told that Ancient Greece was very tolerant in regards to sexuality unlike most countries after it. Is it so?
I am not an expert on Ancient Greece, so if anyone has more to say on the subject, please do!
In general, "tolerant in regards to sexuality" is a bit misleading way to put it, because what do we mean by sexuality? And what do we mean by tolerance? And also: what do we mean by "Ancient Greece"? So yeah, it's complex.
Yes, same sex relations were not unheard of in that time and place, and, depending on the circumstances, might have been normalized (but it depended on what kind of same sex relations, between whom, etc.) The approach to sex and relations was different than today, let's put it that way. It is sure not unheard of to have same sex lovers in artistic works. But it would be wrong to say that Ancient Greece was a "gay paradise" or that there were no rules over what was allowed and considered appropriate, and what was not. (And those don't necessarily correspond to our ideas of what's appropriate.)
I am no expert on this either, however, I do know some things. From what I know, it was considered normal. No one really cared, nor did they have a desire to. A lot of Roman and Greek Gods were gay or LGBTQ+. I am positive it was a âlove for loveâ dynamic. They just vibed.Â
I donât know when gays were considered bad or like sinful, I assume when Christianity came into play, and churches. As when I did reaserch on gay history, that was mainly where discrimination came into play (in the churches.)

:) here is two things I found, you can read this if you like.
Imagine your favorite historical figure twerking
Things are getting Wilde up in this crib
Franz Liszt was truly one of the men ever
- became a lifelong alcoholic to cope with his depression at about 16
- was proud of being Hungarian. Did not speak Hungarian
- Czerny thought young Liszt's playing was a mess (but fortunately saw potential in the kid)
- penned his academic/historical writings with truly extravagant purple prose
- was a Lord Byron fanboy and tried to steal his look
- was a fail dad who was too busy touring and being a sex object to take care of his 3 kids. essentially left them in the care of his relatives for the entirety of their childhood
- sure did look ratty as hell, like he was desperately in want of soap and a hairbrush
- was apparently hot enough to turn the heads of men as well as women. fans basically wanted his gamer boy bath water. Even in his old age some people were down horrendous for the gangly rat man
- wrote a whole book about his genuine appreciation of the Romani and their contributions to Hungarian music, yet also fell into romanticizing them as untamed transcendental musical geniuses
- was mocked by the press for making too much Expressions(TM) while playing the piano
- wrote "vibrato" on a piano score at one point
- alongside his original music, also wrote an impressive amount of what were basically impossible piano covers
"Which classical composer is most likely to...?" Survey
Here is a dumb survey I made to know which composer is most likely to do whatever action
Have fun! I'll post the results later.
I'm a really big fan of taxidermy but have always felt really guilty for finding it fascinating because I was always told it was basically evil. Are there any tips you can give for how to tell ethical taxidermy from the bad kind? And what makes the differnece?
Ethical is hugely variable depending on your own personal set of ethics. For some people only animals that have died of natural or accidental deaths are ethical, while others consider animals that are hunted/trapped/farmed ethical if it's done humanely.
Personally I dislike the term ethical in taxidermy as it varies so much, and I see a lot of things that I consider highly unethical to be labelled as ethical. For example, feeder rats from cruel rodent mills, poached bats from Indonesia or exotic pets sold for taxidermy when they die. It's also worth remembering that natural deaths and roadkill often result in a lot of pain and suffering for the animal before death compared with being shot or euthanised. Ethical doesn't necessarily mean the animal didn't suffer. Best thing is to simply ask how an animal died/where it came from and decide for yourself if that fits in with your ethics.
However, there are a few things that I would say can never be ok and should be avoided. Any animal parts from China are a big no. A lot of things from there tend to be farmed or hunted in very cruel ways. Bats are almost always poached and should be avoided. Animal parts from Africa often come from poaching and the bush meat trade and should also be avoided without good provenance (for example, legally taken hunting trophies are fine). Also if buying/collecting taxidermy and animal parts always be aware of your country's laws. Every country has it's own laws on what animals and parts can and cannot be owned and imported. Certain species may also require licenses and correct paperwork to own.
âEthical taxidermyâ devolved into a way for many dishonest sellers to avoid discussing how and where they source the remains theyâre selling. If you see people selling things like cat, bat, dog, and âfoxâ skulls sold in bulk, avoid them. I say âfoxâ as this is commonly and incorrectly used interchangeably for tanuki skulls or skulls from ranched arctic blue foxes (which @orangeliontaxidermy explained the problems with blue foxes in this post). Though dog and cat skulls and skeletons can be sold to the US market without any import restrictions, bats, foxes, and other wildlife cannot. However, that doesnât stop a lot of sellers from sending them anyway. Nothing ethical about breaking international trade laws :/
Your best bet is to buy from small business and independent collectors/sellers (online or locally) that process their own animals. And ask questions about the sellerâs sources! Most taxidermists/animal processors I know are more than willing to talk about where they get their remains from. That way you as a buyer can decide what you want to get or who you want to support based on your own personal ethics.
Some would say that âethical taxidermyâ would be getting a beloved pet stuffed after death. Sure, many would be against it; though, someone is never going to agree with you, that is just life. I would say taxidermy is a good coping mechanism if you are willing to spend the money, and can handle seeing your dead pet in the corner of the room. Iâve gotten my bearded dragon stuffed after they died, and it helped me to heal in my own way. I do not know much about the buying perspective of taxidermy involving wild animals, hunting, etc. But from a personal standpoint of having my pet taxidermized to cope. I think that ethical would be this (and/or similar.)

Unpopular takes while we're at it, I think this one is going to start a lot of fights... Chopin and Liszt weren't actually lovers nor were they ever in love with each other. I've seen people genuinely think they were in love and it was a "history hates lovers" situation where their love was erased or whatever. But that's a massive stretch, more than what Liszt's fingers could reach for I'd wager lmao
Their actual relationship was complex and ambivalent: they were envious of aspects of each others' talent, they might have fought over Marie d'Agoult at one point, their lifestyles clashed. Liszt idolized Chopin to the point of writing an embellished "Life of Chopin" memoir, Chopin respected Liszt's technique but was highly critical of Liszt's tendency towards ornamentations and showing off when playing. There's a lot that can be discussed about the dastardly duo, about their approaches to teaching, composition, and technique, about the historical context of the time and the different social circles these men were involved in, so on and so forth. I think not reading up more on them would mean missing out on interesting things like that!!
I don't have a problem with people who ship them, so as long as it's clear the shipment is a fantasy. It's when people obfuscate the truth, genuinely think the fiction is true, and view the two separate historical persons only with a shipping lens, when I think it becomes unhealthy.
what composer you should fight
Bach - no. just no. one time bach got into a fight with a bassonist over his bassoon part, and, i quote John Elliot Gardiner, âwas forced to draw his sword and defend himself.â bassoon rage is terrifying, and bach was able to hold him off even though it was a surprise attack. donât fight bach. youâll lose. (plus if by some miracle you won, youâd have 18 children after you to avenge their father. do you really want small bachs chasing you the rest of your days?)
Handel - you could take handel probably. no killer instinct. do not let him get too close - he threatened to throw a singer out of a window once and could probably have carried through. take him down through attrition.
Haydn - you could absolutely take haydn. take him down quickly before he has a chance to trick you.
Mozart - depends. instrumentalists probably possess enough resentment to take him on easy. vocalistsâŠcould you really bring yourself to fight mozart? his arias are so nice. so flashy. so singable. go fight haydn instead. unless youâre a contralto. then absolutely fight mozart. fight everyone on this list.
Beethoven - DO NOT FIGHT BEETHOVEN. DO NOT FIGHT BEETHOVEN. DO NOT FIGHT BEETHOVEN. you will lose.
Rossini - absolutely fight rossini. youâll win. easy.Â
Schubert - why would you want to fight schubert. he is a precious tiny forest spirit who just wants to compose lovely songs. the only person who is authorized to fight schubert is the accompanist who has just been asked to play erlkonig for the sixth time. and even they will feel bad afterwards. go fight rossini instead.
Berlioz - yes. fight berlioz. absolutely fight berlioz. sure, afterwards you wonât be able to brag that you defeated berlioz since no one outside of music knows who he is, but at least youâll have a good victory on your hands.
Liszt - tough fight. liszt is 6 feet tall and has massive yaoi hands judging from his music. take him down from afar.Â
Chopin - please dont fight chopin. youâre better than that. it would be too easy. give yourself more of a challenge.
Brahms - this is a fight that you can win. just tell him youâre from the future and he never lived up to Beethovenâs name. donât feel bad when he starts to cry. just take him down then and there.
Schumann - donât do it. the problem is not robert himself, itâs the fact that clara will come after you. and she will beat you. this has nothing to do with you or your fighting abilities - if you fight robert schumann clara will find you and clara will end you.
Wagner - ABSOLUTELY FIGHT WAGNER. PLEASE fight wagner. I will pay literal, actual money to watch someone beat up wagner. you will get lots of help from everyone else in the music world including other composers. even if you have just fought them. everyone wants to see richard âdickâ wagner taken down. the only person in the music world more utterly fightable than wagner is andrew lloyd webber.
Verdi - go fight wagner instead.
Stravinsky - do not fight stravinsky. he will fuck you up.
Mahler - the same fight as brahms, except even easier.
Schoenberg - schoenberg has nothing to lose. he will be vicious. he will fight to his last breath. and when you are standing over him, bloodied, he will look up at you. and he will thank you. you will carry a twinge of uneasiness around with you for the rest of your life. occasionally you will hear a tone row in the distance. do not listen, do not investigate, or schoenberg will have won after all.
If my mind made me see this then so will you
