douce et incomparable joséphine, quelle effet bizzare faite vous sur mon coeur ! vous fâchez-vous ? vous vois-je triste ? êtes-vous inquiète ? mon âme est brisé de douleur, et il n'est point de repos pour votre ami.

me & my opinions on the rev & napoleonic era!! since both of these era’s are quite fundamental to josephine/ the characters on my multimuse, i’ll try to explain how i see it!! warning: i have opinions

okay, so first of all, i don’t think either napoléon or maximilien robespierre were evil.  robespierre was one of the most egalitarian figures of the revolution and saw the terror as a tool exclusive to the revolution.  he actually made most of his enemies trying to put a leash on the more radical of the jacobins like fouché, collot d’herbois and others.  quite a lot of the thermidorians belonged to this group of radicals.  hell , the white terror (of which fouché was one of the main perpetrators) that accompanied the reinstitution of the french monarchy after napoléons fall from power made far more deaths than the actual terror!  it is important to acknowledge that monarchy was a very real threat. unlike with the U.S. ,  there wasn’t an ocean separating france and the monarchist countries surrounding it. it’s easy to forget that the threat of invasion was always there, another of the factors contributing to the “reign of terror”. moreover, one does forget that robespierre wasn’t the leader of the revolution - but simply a member of it. he leaded the convention, yes, but for a brief time. lastly, as for danton and desmoulins, the most fervent of the dantonist historians have admitted that if the terror were to stop, there would be even more chaos.

under napoléon, the main threat was louis’ legacy that had antagonized the british & the fact that france’s leader was an upstart corsican with jacobin notions. NAPOLEON, IN FACT WAS A SUPPORTER OF ROBESPIERRE AND THOUGHT HE WAS THE SCAPEGOAT OF THE REVOLUTION. also augustin, max’ brother was gay for naps. i ship it tbh.

napoleon’s france wasn’t perfect, but it was decent. napoleon was a bit warlike, thanks to the ancients he loved so much (julius caesar, alexander the great ... ) but he certainly wasn’t responsible alone for the “napoleonic” wars. the name, imo, is quite unjust tbh.

he made some shitty decisions & certainly wasnt a saint, but a lot of them he was forced to make due to the constant pressure of the coalitions. even when countries like russia & britain were at peace with france, they continued to plot against napoleon. the comparison of hitler with napoleon is in that regard quite unjust as well - bonaparte granted the jewish community more rights. ian kershaw, one of the most eminent hitler biographers confirms this as well.

     “You see, the new branch will grow onto the old, almost as though it was always there. You will be able to tell, but it will be a perfectly healthy tree, no worse off than any other.” With a smile for the woman and a final brush for the freshly grafted apple trunk, he turned away from the work. “It is however a selfish process, for our benefit only. The trees would grow well without our interference. So long as we are careful not to do harm— they are our charges, given to our care by God. Rather like children must be, I think. Do you have any of your own? Children, not trees— though if you have either I would be glad to hear of them.”

   “ thank you so much ,  monsieur ! ”    she bears a honey-sweet smile on her visage ,  watches him attentively performing magic to her beloved garden.  sweeping a hand through her brown hairs ,  eyes full of gratitude are revealed.  mouth twitches slightly when he mentions CHILDREN  -  the cause of so much grief and happiness , though joséphine chuckles a little at his words.     “ yes ,  i do !  i’ve got one son ,  eugène  -  he’s a good boy ,  though i don’t like his moustache.  then there’s hortense ,  my daughter.   she’s a kind girl ,  but she’s got quite the character. ”
