Presenting the Banana Boys the Aides-de-Camp of Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult, the excitable drunk collective blob military family of the grumpy asshole!

I’ve been enjoying reading about their shenanigans in @josefavomjaaga’s posts and wanted to draw them, especially as I’ve started having them appear in some writing snippets and RPs

From left to right we have

Alfred de Saint-Chamans, who once wondered why Napoleon was so interested in Soult’s ass and who thinks he deserves a medal too!

Auguste Petiet, who despite Soult being mean to him and not giving him a promotion because of a disagreement with Petiet's dad, is really proud of military daddy Soult

Alfred de Lameth, the jester who can't stop joking even when it offends Murat's wife and who got murked in Spain and made his fellow soldiers so sad they burned and slaughtered a village in revenge

Brun de Villeret, the sensible guy who got into a car crash because of Soult's distracted driving and who spent months trying to convince Napoleon that the rumours about Soult trying to make himself king in Portugal are mean rumours

I found references for all of them except Lameth, who died young and also his uncle is too famous so the image search is full of him and his stupid wig, so I pretty much just made up Lameth's appearance based on vibes.

There's more ADCs like Pierre Soult, the baby brother of Soult, Franceschi the Art Guy, Coco Lefebvre Who Physically Can't Stop Partying and others, but these four are probably the Main Characters in the writing I've done!

And also yeah Soult did decide that his assistants should be dressed in bright yellow shirts and sky blue pants.

This Bessières also looked askance at the stained glass windows. He wonders how much control Murat has over this place; some worlds that he rode through were like the kingdom to a Fisher King, while others were more like prisons to those they hosted. He would think that Murat would know better than to usurp those windows for himself, even if those windows were... truly resplendent. More resplendent, even, than that world of "kaleidoscopes" that he travelled through. ... He also did wonder just how at fault Murat was, regarding the fate of his house. At the bottom of the stairs, with Eugène in front of him and Monsieur Bessières and his daughter behind, Bessières finds himself admitting that the collection that Murat has amassed is truly magnificent. This sentiment is shared by the adventurous aides-de-camp before him.

Saint-Chamans: We used to hit looters and pillagers with the flat part of the sabre for doing this, remember??

Brun: Marshal Murat literally has an open invitation for people to check this place out. I think. Or maybe I hallucinated that.

Bory: It does seem that strange and interesting things are attracted to Marshal Murat's realm - such as flesh eating plants and large armoured lizards!

Lameth: And us!

Yes, Bory is here too. There's a lot of bananas for this narrator to keep a track of, okay.

Coco Lefebvre: Come on where's the drugs and booze?!

Petiet: I found some..!

Saint-Chamans: Oh give that here-

A short woman with extremely curly and messy dark hair and feet of remarkable smallness turns around. As her gaze lands on Eugène and one Bessières, she freezes.

Saint-Chamans: Cousin- wait uh I mean Monsieur de Beauharnais?! What are you doing here?!

Coco Lefebvre: Oh merde it's the fuzz! Run!

Petiet: Buuuut I just found the good stuff..!

"I love Soult"

Napoleon about the "Circulaire Ricard", the letter Soult's chief of staff Ricard had sent to the generals under Soult's command in Portugal 1809, telling them to encourage the population to ask Napoleon for a new king:

"All I have to do is send this letter to the High Court, and it will cost either of them their heads. I will not do it. I love Soult..." - and his facial expression softened immensely.

From Brun de Villeret's "Cahiers", snippet of a long note about his interview with Napoleon after the failed Portugal campaign

Awww. What's a little high treason among friends, after all.

Brun: Bory. This is too far.

Bory: This is for science!

Lameth: You are playing with fire, my friend~

Saint-Chamans: I'm clearly the most popular! My memoirs are actually available on the internet!

Petiet: Mine is more exclusive..!

Pierre Soult: Not sure how I feel about being included here. And what about Anthoine and Franceschi?

Bory: They don't appear on this Web Log so much, so they are not options! And neither is our good friend C͞i̗̱̻̳̟̲͢ͅt̮͢o̳͓̣͉̥̘ye̱n O͞m̢̖̯̪̙̬b̛r̰͓͙̬̭̖è, for he is not as, ahem, historical as us~

Lameth: Anthoine is too innocent to be exposed to the internet! We keep him away from such things~

Brun: And Franceschi has better things to do with his time. This is stupid, however. Obviously I'm the best. I'm the one who actually went to Napoleon and convinced him of Soult's good intentions during that awful Roi Nicolas stuff.

Lameth: But I died tragically and young, and that gives me a certain charm, non?

Bory: My plan is working! Unfortunately, Coco has passed out drunk again and cannot defend himself, but ah well. Anyway, as the completely impartial poll host, I simply must point out that I am a very famous naturalist renowned for my scientific discoveries, and a certain Monsieur Darwin carried my book with him on his voyages. So, ah, do keep that in mind!
