#camille desmoulins

[earlgrey24]

Never mind, scratch the part about me saying Scurr's biography seems to be well-researched so far. As was pointed out by @anotherhumaninthisworld (thank you!) she just gets Camille Desmoulins' age wrong by 3 years when describing what is arguably one of the most important events of his life/of the revolution itself

Like I get that the biography is about Robespierre, but still, I'd be dragged for a thing like that if I had it in by undergrad thesis and she's an academic

I'm just incredibly confused as to why/how? He was born in 1760, which, you know, makes the calculation incredibly easy even for the less mathematically gifted.

There's barely any big difference between 26 and 29, at least in my mind. Like both is late-ish 20s? Is 26 fine but 29 already too old to be seen as 'attractively boyish'? What's going on there?

I'm probably overthinking it. It does, however, show that her research/writing is sloppy, at least in this particular instance.

Everyone else on Tumblr this week: *draws beautiful serious saddening art of Camille Desmoulins*

Me: *draws Camille being a dramatique little brat*

(Disclaimer: I don't know why Tumblr killed the quality. I tried several different things and none of them worked. Let me know if you have any ideas. They ruined my formatting.)

Did I reuse this joke? Yes. Does it matter? No, because I drew it better this time. Although I'm choosing to ignore anyone who comes between Danton and Desmoulins alphabetically, it doesn't matter because Danton lied about sharing a quote with Camille anyway.

Well. Here you go.

Edited to add: Maxime’s quote is “My back hurts from carrying this convention.”

I debated posting this because it’s stupid and ridiculous, but then I remembered that it is in my nature to be silly and unserious.

When will the CPS stop my sinful hand?

I swear I respect them as people and academically, but I want to be funny too
