Revolutionary Avery

Avery - Any Pronouns - Agender - Canadian Here to indulge my historical intrests like I did back in high school <333 Be nice, I bite!

[revolutionaryavery]

Welcome to the blog!!

Howdy all, this is a brief introduction to who I am and what I do!

I speak English dominantly and a decent amount of French!

I'm just here to enjoy my historical interests such as the French Revolution, the American Revolution, Classical composers and whatever history or even fantasy that catches my eyes on my journey.

I have pretty open belief about the world, so I am a safe place for all that need refuge!

first and foremost is my belief that so long as what you are doing isn't hurting yourself or others, then you should be free to do such things!

I am very Queer and so I am all for you doing you your way.

I will not stand for any Homophobia, Transphobia, Xenophobia, Slur usage, etc!

Mmmmmmmmmmm... -w-

I wish I could draw art of me my favorite historical figures. I’m not much of an artist nor am I a very good writer. Sure, I can write things for work or school, but when it comes to creative endeavours I am lost. I have these fun and silly ideas in my head, but no way to get it out. I absolutely refuse to use AI though, there’s really nothing I hate more! Maybe one day I’ll feel comfortable posting my art.

La Fayette in the French revolution fandom

It's been ages since I've actually interacted with my historical Fandoms here on Tumblr. I wanted to know what you fellow Frev enjoyers think of La Fayette. Personally I think he is an interesting figure, knowing what he did in America and what he did in France is just adds to that. I will admit I am not the clearest on all subjects regarding him, since none of this is exactly my field of study, just a personal interest (a dude only has so much time in a day you know!)

[saintjustitude]

To be completely honest with you?

We don't like him.

He's not a revolutionary to us: he's an émigré and a traitor because he fled the country after the 10 of August. You lose the right to call yourself a revolutionary when you emigrate and join the enemy - regardless of the intention.

His biggest crime is being in charge of troops who opened fire on unarmed petitioners. It doesn't matter if he gave the order or not: as the commander, it's his responsibility. That's how military leadership works. The soldier abdicates his free will in order to become part of a military unit. If they mess up and no individual can be found to be blamed, the commander must take responsibility. Lafayette should have stepped down, but he didn't.

And yes, it was an unarmed crowd. I absolutely refuse to hear the argument that they were dangerous because they might have thrown rocks.

Many people in the Frev community are leftist activists who have been in protests and have either witnessed or been victims of police brutality - I'm one of them. It's not hard to guess why there's no love for him from people like us.

[historicalshroe]

Yup, when people include him it feels so random, like they just searched up popular frev figures and added him because he was there.

[ladyliszt]

I'm in the AmRev fandom, where it's awesome to love la Fayette! I means, he's the cute little French kid who helped corner Cornwallis into Yorktown. As an American, of course I love this guy and share his perspective on America.

But I'm also in the FRev fandom, and I still love la Fayette and agree with his political views, and that's where it gets messy for me.

The way I see it, the French Revolution saw la Fayette older and more experienced, sure, but not more competent or confident. He seems to have been quite out of his depth. Don't get me wrong, I would've renounced my title (or smth 🤷) in his position, but overall, I wonder if FRev fans get a little worked up over him. The primary driver of many of the actions taken by all parties in the French Revolution seems to have been fear, and la Fayette's order at the Champs de Mars massacre are no exception. He feared mob rule. So, I think, in a moment of panic, he ordered the fire, and then spent the rest of his life trying to justify the massacre of innocents. (Which you can't.)

Maybe it's just because I'm coming from AmRev, but I think it's important to give everyone grace, and in doing so with Robespierre, I'm actually quite warming up to him.

Also, @saintjustitude—you said "You lose the right to call yourself a revolutionary when you emigrate and join the enemy..." but I was under the impression he was trying to flee to America (whose official stance on the French Revolutionary Wars was neutral, and where his son was staying at Mount Vernon) but was captured by Austrians upon crossing into Belgium and held in locations in Prussia and Austria, including Olmütz (now Olomouc, Czech Republic). Again, maybe because I'm a biased AmRev fan, but who knows 🤷

[revolutionaryavery]

I keep forgetting I have a Tumblr again after all these years, whoops! I really appreciate your add on to the conversation. La Fayette was really an interesting character, that's why I believe him to be terribly underrated in this space. We really should give the man the same grace we give the revolutionaries, the more I looking into him the more I realized how much people are missing out!

Handmade soft toy Robespierre

[revolutionaryavery]

Nothing sucks as much as having a busy weekend. I'm exhausted, too much running around chasing after people for this, that and everything under the sun. I feel like I will need to sleep for the next week.

Incorruptible Chap 4 pt 21

Camille head pats are the only way to convince Robespierre to back down from a debate ahaha

[ptarmi-nouveau]

Wanted to make a Robespierre timeline sort of piece (and will probably finish it later!) but my composition is looking a bit rocky so here's like half of it done for the time being.

#2 was originally meant to be from 1788 but he looks a bit young so maybe it's from his earlier lawyer days.

[citoyenneserknoire]

Robeyette for you 🫡

[revolutionaryavery]

What a wonderfully unpleasant welcome party I've been faced with on my return to the space. I knew I heard stuff from friends who left this fandom a while back but I didn't expect the situation to be this bad. No wonder they left the space. Well I will just say that I am a welcoming space to anyone who wants to enjoy this fandom to it fullest. Shitposts, deep dives and shipping all welcome with me! Please post some silly stuff to drown out the negativity of this one guy, he isn't worth dampening your joy and love for these people. You only give him more power by complying with his demands.

together we are a better a community! Why should we let such a person tear us apart for his personal gripes?

Send me some of your personal fun art, I want to see!

YO I got some good shit for you homie!!

Robeyette (sorta but not really) Fic where Lafayette and Robespierre need to become friends to try to avoid everyone’s death’s. Robespierre is vaguely guided by the Supreme Being to make sure everything works out. I’m not the best at writing so like I kinda only have a basic idea and a very sad single paragraph… BUT the idea is fun also because I think it would be cute if fate had been kinder to these people. Mostly inspired by how much I am devastated by Camille’s death and his relationship with Robespierre. After the actually plot I get into the ship where like idk I guess they fall in love and get go off into the sunset together and raise pigeons together while getting old. Look at my cute ass Camille doodle GUH!!

Another fun thing is various Robeyette AUs. One where me and my homie thought it would be really funny if it’s a Robeyette version of Gnomeo and Juliette. They’re like all nice ceramic figures on two sides of like I guess room where people study history lmao.

I did draw Robespierre and Lafayette in smexy bunny outfits. Maybe I will show those off some day… maybe. 👀

I’m not going to explain myself but Assasin’s Creed Unity Arno x Saint Just. I hate the way they portray SJ and Robespierre in the game (really super inaccurate and like some real villains) but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun as hell. Does the ship make any sense? No. Does that matter? Also no. It’s a video game! (I still gotta draw it)

I am also currently obsessed with Mr Peabody and Sherman Robespierre. He’s sooooo Goofy. I love him. Tbh I won’t lie that representation of him probably was my awakening to become a history fan. I wanna draw a bunch of different versions of cartoony Robespierre cause it brings me joy!

Uh I don’t have much else mostly doing vampire Frev AU where my vampire OC is involved with these dudes. It’s very entertaining for me

And I still laugh my ass off at this piece:

[tangjue]

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest cross-dressing frev boy of them all?

* Please overlook any anachronisms in the costumes—just have fun!
