Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Does anyone know how Saint -Just's name would have been pronounced?
I finally watched Un peuple et son roi, and they pronounced the "Just" as "Ju", which struck me as strange. French is my first language, and instinctively, I would have pronounced the "-st" part of his name too...
But this might be an older French pronunciation? Or maybe it would have depended on the region?
awwwwwwww 🥺🥺🥺🥺
happy birthday to the leaf boi (it's a myth, i know, i know)
Happy birthday dear Camille Desmoulins !
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 ❤️
THIS MADE ME GIGGLE TOO HARD THEY ARE TRULY YURI
thank you @labrador44 this is true peak
Might I add to this incredible playlist?
Hozier - "I, Carrion (Icarian)"
Florence and the Machine - "Never Let Me Go"
Ace of Base - "Happy Nation"
The Cranberries - "Dreams"
Édith Piaf - "Hymne à l'Amour"
Mumford and Sons - "Guiding Light"
Aaron Tveit - "There's a World / Hero and Leander"
(and just for the vibes, even if they would hate the lyrics: Lana del Rey - "National Anthem")
If Saintspierre had a playlist, what would be on it? I've been trying to make a playlist.
I have thought of the following (some for pretty obvious reasons and other's just because I feel like they have a Saintspierre vibe):
- Birds of a feather (by Billie Eilish)
- El Amor de Mi Vida (by Camilo Sesto)
- My way of life (by Frank Sinatra)
- Your Song (by Elton John)
- Die with a smile (by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars)
That's all I have rn, lol. I wanted to add more positive ones, and while I do listen to lots of more positive music, I think I started to overthink, and it turned into a sad Saintspierre playlist 🙃. So I'm gonna try and think of a playlist that has a more complete feel to it, but if people wanna add songs, that would be fun. I'm very bored because I'm recovering from a concussion (not serious, lol) and can't actually put my brain into something productive, so I'm just trying to entertain myself. Also, also, that's a wall of text, omg...
Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Sigh
The Pope, desperate to avoid ever interacting with JD Vance again, went to the one place the Vice President couldn't follow: heaven.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
I was slowly going crazy reading articles after articles, books after books, and never finding the greek origins!!! And so I was on a wild goose chase afterall...
Saint-Just can definitely keep this dream if it makes him happy, he deserves it.
And I'm glad you enjoyed the song :')

On the hundredth day after the new year the heralds come to the doors of the city, announcing the arrival of the Golden Caravan at the farthest stop of its route ; like every year, citizens and travellers will surely gather at the western door to see it come to pass.
Right behind the banners as customary are the sculptor priests, foremost of the stonemason orders, bringing in this year's votive masterwork for the festivities. The black and white steppe oxen precede the arrival of the head guild architect, charged with the safekeeping of the citizens' sacred geometry. The graduating apprentices and newly welcomed novices walk besides the draftsroom carriage, bearing the icons of the Citizen Architects Guild : ardor and patience. Out of the kilns of the imperial workshops come delicate masterwork sought after the world over ; the sister-ceramists are selected from various key regions of the trade system and bring their local styles to the imperial production. Those workshops are the northernmost stop on the caravan's route.
Behind the masons, the torchbearers announce the arrival of the metalworkers' guilds, chief of which the head goldsmith on a palanquin of her own design. The braseros and forges are continuously tended by guild kindlers as to remain lit throughout the entire voyage of the caravan. Second to last comes the host of the manticore, behind the braseros of the master kindlers. It is believed that the creature requires her caretakers to be pure of heart and most diligent ; the honour is bestowed only on the highest performing apprentices of the smithing guilds. On the last day finally, behind the last of the apprentices, the crones of the chain count the days left to craft, keeping misfortune at work away, and, some even say, Death itself.
