One super funny thing about the French Rev (that Victor Hugo even references in Les Mis) is the way it altered naming conventions, resulting in tons of WILD amazing ridiculous names!

Basically what happened was— during the French Rev the laws around registering names were relaxed, so people started giving extremely revolutionary names to themselves and their babies.

Sadly Napoleon’s government later cracked down on this. When Napoleon came into power he passed a restrictive law mandating that people had to choose among a list of “normal” names, banning the weird revolution ones, because he was a spineless coward afraid of the power these names had. The restrictive naming laws weren’t repealed until late in the 20th century.

But anyway here are some of my favorite French Rev baby names (taken from this list):

Mort Aux Aristocrates -“Death to Aristocrats”

Amour Sacré de la Patrie l’an Trois -“Sacred Love of the Fatherland Year III”

Lagrenade —“The Grenade”

Droit de l’Homme Tricolor “Right of Man Tricolor”

Égalité — “Equality”

Régénérée Vigueur— “Regenerated Strength”

Marat, ami du peuple -“Marat, friend of the people”

Marat, défenseur de la Patrie—“Marat, defender of the Fatherland”

La Loi-“The Law”

Philippe Thomas Ve de bon coeur pour la République — “Philippe Thomas ‘Go with a good heart for the Republic’”

Raison —“Reason”

Simon Liberté ou la Mort —“Simon “Freedom or Death””

Citoyen Français—“French Citizen”

Sans Crainte— “Without Fear”

Unitée Impérissable— “Imperishable Unity”

Victoire Fédérative— “Federal Victory”

Vengeur Constant —“Constant Avenger”

Broke: Marie Antoinette bankrupted France with her dresses and wigs and got beheaded for telling starving peasants to go eat cake

Woke: France's debt from helping the American Revolution was a bigger factor in its bankruptcy than anything Marie ever spent money on, but she was scapegoated due to xenophobia and misogyny and never even said the cake quote

BESPOKE: Even though Marie was the victim of xenophobia and misogyny she was still an archconservative who resisted progressive reform harder than Louis, brokered secret deals with deputies to sabotage the Revolution, tried to escape with Louis to turn an army on their own people, and does not deserve to be glorified as some sort of feminist icon when events led by lower class women, like the Women's March on Versailles, are lesser known than the factoid that the cake quote is a lie

Random person at gala talking about Damian: Awww he’s so cute

Dick: Thanks, he’s a rescue

Damian: *feral growling noises*

[robinjasondefender]

Jason: Punch me

Dick: What? Why?

Jason: Just do it

Dick: I’m not gonna—

Jason: Do it pussy.

Dick: *punches him*

Jason: DAD, DICK PUNCHED ME!!!

Dick, drunk: Wally

Dick, absolutely hammered: Wal-ly, I like your name

Wally, practically on a different planet he’s that drunk: Thanks I got it for my birthday

[robinjasondefender]

Duke: Why is Tim on the floor crying?

Stephanie: He’s drunk

Duke: And?

Stephanie: He saw a picture of Kon’s boyfriend

Duke:

Duke: But he’s Kon’s boyfriend??

Stephanie: I fucking know

[robinjasondefender]

tell me why

they are the same person

[robinjasondefender]

it’s the way I just have an entire section in my notes app dedicated to funny ‘quotes’ I’ve read in fanfictions, I swear no matter how many times i read over them and even without the context it’s still funny

me and I

behind every gay person is a gayer, more evil gay person

[robinjasondefender]

this is so real

[robinjasondefender]

the cowboy hat would definitely be worn religiously

It's important to me that Dick Grayson is a fashion disaster. That he's the subject of 'is this trendy or is it just that Dick Grayson is wearing it' twitter threads at least once a month. I want him to dress exclusively like Chris Pine in paparazzi pictures is what I'm saying. Examples for visual learners--

Batfamily x cursed images :)))

this is probably the best thing ever

I love the idea floating around tumblr that both Bruce and Dick introduce Jason like he’s five because he is “my son” or “my baby brother” to them and he just surprises everyone with his tank build.

Might I pose that Jason is so used to it that it doesn’t even clock for him anymore

Dick Grayson at work: Hey I’m sorry, do you think you could watch my baby brother for a sec? Bruce can’t really pick him up rn.

His coworker: oh! Okay don’t even worry about it but for how long? I’m not the best with kids

Dick half listening: you’ll be alright! he loves to read so he won’t be on your toes … just keep an eye on your squad car keys… oh! There he is!

A six foot, 225 pound linebacker of a man walks in: hey 👋

Coworker: 👁👄👁

Dick: jaylad! I brought you a book you might like! This is my coworker, they’re gonna be here for a while, if you need anything, within reason, ask them okay? I’ll be right back buddy.

Coworker: 👁👄👁

Jason, carding through his book: …would he get fired if I drove one of the police cars without permission?

If not is it like a fine or like, jail time?

Dick motherhens every one of his siblings but Jason the most

Like they’re all enjoying their Doritos, orange slices and caprisuns on a roof after a long patrol and Duke is like

…WAIT A DANG MINUTE

Why do you think the fandom latched on the idea that Jason is super cultured despite his rough demeanor? The amusing contrast? Or was their something in the comics that showed him and Alfred bonding differently than the others?

Jason over all acts very sophisticated, speaks in a very elaborate manner, frequently uses undertones and coded language to distract or leave clues, and is over all prone to holding his helmet like Yorick’s sull.

But more than that, it’s that there are clues throughout his time as Red Hood. He sends a first edition copy of a book to Wayne Manor to let Alfred know it’s the real him back and not an imposter, leading to the revelation that they used to collect first editions together with Bruce. Then there’s also the sequences of him in the prison yard reading Pride and Prejudice.

Fans have taken it to their own ends. I personally see Jason as a theatrical person in general and have developed a persona for him around that. But it’s not coming out of thin air.
