Dearest most virtuous Citoyens

(aka beloved Frevblr),

as the 20 Prairial — or 8th of June — is slowly approaching, as well as in the spirit of celebrating Pride, I thought it would be fun to do some kind of Festival of the Supreme Being blogging/celebration on Saturday.

I mean everyone knows that Tumblr absolutely blows up on March 15 during the Ides of March, and I was wondering whether something similar could be pulled off on the French Revolution side, albeit on a much smaller scale

I don't really have anything specific in mind (memes, a playlist, something like that?), so if you have any cool ideas on how to do it, feel free to reblog!

The Funeral Games of Patroclus

By Jacques-Louis David

And the son of Peleus led their passionate lament, placing his man-slaughtering hands upon the breast of his companion: “May it be well with thee, O Patroclus, even in the house of Hades; I am fulfilling now all I pledged to you before,​ dragging Hector here to give to the dogs to devour raw, and before your funeral pyre I will cut the throats of twelve of Troy’s noble sons, in rage for your slaying.

The Iliad, Book 23, Lines 17-23

Does Keir Cromwell know how Jean-Paul Marat, leader of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, ended?

(Hint: he was stabbed to death. That's a knife crime!)
