Welcome to my little corner of the internet dedicated entirely to Augustin Robespierre (Bonbon).
If you've somehow wandered in here by accident: Haallloooo! I'm Abel!!! This blog exists as an archive for my historical writing, source analysis, translations, and ongoing research surrounding one of the French Revolution's most overlooked and underrated figures.
Everything posted here is arranged as is for relatively easy navigation (i'm. still work shopping it). Rather than digging through years of personal posts, memes, and sudden emotional breakdowns because I remembered something from 1794, you'll (hopefully) find a growing collection of organized research in one place!
This is, above all, an attempt to understand Augustin as a historical person rather than a historical footnote.
I try to distinguish clearly between documented history, historiographical interpretation, and my own speculation whenever possible. If I discover that I've misunderstood a source or overstated a claim, I will happily correct it! History deserves that much.
This blog also serves as a home for some translation projects intended to make material more accessible to English readers. I don't believe knowledge should remain inaccessible simply because a source happens to exist only in a select European language.
Above all else..
This is Augustin's space!

> A few quick notes…
> I am not a professional historian. I'm simply someone who spends an unreasonable amount of time reading and memorizing material, biographies, memoirs, correspondence, and contemporary newspapers because I adore this ridiculous little man.
> because of this aforementioned memorization, most of what i post is often first pass thoughts or information detailed right off the dome / noggin. The way that I organize my thoughts and figure out a direct solid defensible line of thought is dialogically, but I don't have anybody to.. engage in dialogue with.. so to remedy this and the unavoidable mistakes that come from my process:
> I welcome corrections, additional sources, and discussion with more than open arms. In fact anybody who makes a comment or addition to my post is guaranteed a first-born from me. If you know something I don't, please tell me! I'd much rather improve a post than leave an error, shoddy wording, or bad pacing standing.
> correction simply isn’t opposition to me, and it isn’t a challenge to authority or ego; it’s part of the process itself. It’s how history becomes more accurate, more nuanced, and more honest over time.
> More than anything, I want this space to reflect a kind of shared curiosity rather than a one-person authority, I am NOT an authority. If that was even an assumption to begin with, assume it no more!!! If you’re here and you know more, or you see something differently, that perspective has value, as part of the same ongoing attempt to understand the past as clearly as we can.
> If you're here from my main blog: yes, unfortunately, it's still, by technicality (Functionally?), 'me♜'. Different room, and different voice, and different person: In the same overall house. This account simply exists so our historical work has a proper home without requiring people to sift through unrelated posts to find it, if the yap-fest above didn't make it clear.
> If you've somehow become interested in Augustin or those surrounding him in life because of this blog..
> mission accomplished!!!
> This blog is ran on EST / GMT-5 + GMT-4
