Before After

Everybody's avatars (would that even be the right word in this context?) look so good!

Thank you @trainwrecker for the tag! I had such a fun time! (also, woah, nice art! I wish that I could draw like that (practice, i know... but still!))

I was going for a Percy-Shelley-in-Italy type of look, and I think it worked out pretty well! I just wished that the coat could turn brown or a deep shade of blue or green.

I am knee-deep in the French Revolution fandom rn, but I'll get around to posting more about the Romantics and Italy at some point.

Tagging... ummmmm... @s-ashaesthetic because they helped me with Saint-Just's name, @robesmoulins because I love their art, and @thelanterneattorney because I NEED to see Camille's take on this (this is solely if y'all feel up to it, of course).

Design what your blog would look like if it was a person!

Quick question

I finally - FINALLY!!! - have time to do some research on French History for fun again, and I was wondering if any of yall could recommend me historian-approved biographies (in French, English, or Italian) of these fine gentlemen:

Saint-Just, Raymond Naves, and Mallarmé

Thank you so much in advance ❤️

@mystirixana i feel like that is smt you would say

it's crazy that madame tussauds has been around since the 1800s. they barely had celebrities back then. "ooh its a wax sculpture of voltaire" bitch how would you know

id like to formally apologize to billaud and collot who yall have now shown me were both gay as fuck in their own ways which only makes the concept of them vs robespierre and saint-just even more incredible…the entire french revolution was really just gay on gay violence

Louis Antoine Saint-Just, Arthur Rimbaud, Jean Samuel, and Ridan are the only 4 French men to have ever passed the vibe check 🤷

You are not a product. You are a person. This means that regardless of whatever they did to you, you are not damaged goods. You are still whole, worthy and enough as you are.

Marie Antoinette, before being executed was already 38, the same age as Bertrand Barère, always protrayed as a teen girl with innocence. Maximilien Robespierre, a man 3 years younger than Antoinette, always looked old like in the mid-50s in many films/plays/games/cartoons...

Update: Barère: So it is likely that I am protrayed as an attractive teenager😆

I hope that one day men will stop consuming as much garbage as Tate and one day they will know the story of Saint Just.

Tate would die if he had to live a day in S.J.'s life.

AU in which Nicolas is the one to finish Mozart's Requiem during his years at the theater, and views it as an homage to his former teacher, and a way to finally asserts himself as a genius musician in his own rights, proving that he was able to learn and perfect his playing and composing skills enough to rival the great names of his times, even if he began later in his life and was considered a set for failure by Mozart himself. And despising what he composes because it is a proof that he is only good because he as been turned into something wrong, inhuman, and that becoming this irrevertedly damned creature was the only way for him to achieve greatness, whereas Lestat was a masterful actor basically from birth, and could achieve greatness whilst still being happy and human.

Anyone else sees the vision?
