Saint-Just

"travaillons enfin pour le bonheur du peuple, et que les legislateurs qui doivent éclairer le monde prennent leur course d'un pied hardi, comme le soleil."

i just realised i should probably make an intro post instead of pretending to be saint just 🫡

i’m mary, your favourite aroace revolutionary (i hope). i’m 14 and an intj. i’m fine with any pronouns.

i love history, physics, etymology, theology, classic lit, art, writing, politics, crows, theatre, classical music, and a ton of other shit that’s not really relevant. i’m pretty much exclusively going to post about dead frenchmen here. i have a quite similar personality to ramy from babel, so if you don’t like him, you probably won’t like me.

i have no dni list! it’s a free country! though i highly recommend that all bigots should catch the first flight home as they will not enjoy it here.

my primary blog is @homeric-hymn. i use the tags #tagpoleon for napoleonic france, #deadpianomen for classical music and #guillotine for revolutionary france. for art, i use #art (so creative ikr)

ok, that’s all. over and out!

robespierre and camille the original black cat and golden retriever duo

talking about lafayette to a french revolution and an american revolution fan are two very different experiences, to say the least…

if i had a nickel for every time i was interested a historical figure who was obsessed with birds, who remained unmarried and loved the birds like they were people, and who was devastated when his favourite bird died, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

how it feels to have two of your favorite characters also be the two that fucking hate each other

[thearchangelofterror]

when your card declines at therapy so they bring up camille desmoulins having a fit of tears when he heard that lucile was also arrested, camille writing tear-stained letters to her, camille tearing at his clothes and pleading with the crowd, camille being so distraught that he had to be restrained, camille asking danton to take the lock of lucile’s hair from his pocket and to put it in his bound hands, camille being sent to his death by a friend he once trusted and loved, camille’s beloved son being orphaned because of his godfather, camille…

AAAH SO PRETTYY I LOVE IT OMG ID LOVE TO KNOW THE LORE

[thearchangelofterror]

thanks! his lore isn’t really very interesting, though. he was orphaned in childhood and raised by his aunt and uncle (bourgeois). he went on to become a scientist who was enlisted by the committee of public safety. he also taught at the école polytechnique. later on, he died at the age of about 40.

which is more iconic - robespierre’s obsession with tarts or robespierre’s alleged obsession with oranges
