"Alors, dît-nous, Temple. Est-elle jolie?" "Est-elle riche?" "Who?" "The girl you are seeing." "I didn't say I was seeing a girl." "Non, ni le contraire." "Res ipsa loquitur." "So tell us."

Do you think Lafayette had short hair and a wig or that he just had his natural hair powdered

At least in my drawings of him, it's a wig. Partially because he was French nobility, and they did that, but mostly because he just didn't have all that much hair. He started balding pretty young, so I try to draw his hair much thinner than everyone else's.

Don’t know if anyone else will recognize this from a Matt Rose compilation, but I love and recommend him, and for some reason, this idea came to mind

fundamental amrev experience is being assigned the legend of sleepy hollow as required reading in your highschool english class and freaking out A. because it's by washington irving, who was discussed extensively in that one nancy isenberg essay about aaron burr's sexuality, and B. because it Won't Stop Talking About John André, who, of course, is john andré

Rewatched Moon Girl season 1. This show is so good. Now, I recommend just watching the show linearly BUT if you want specific episode recs I got you covered.

My personal favorites are Like Mother, Like Moon Girl, Roller Jam!, Skip Ad...olescence, and both of the season finales (keep in mind season 1s is a 2-parter). All of these are just really cool, beautiful, and have my personal favorite third-act song numbers.

Some others I'd recommend are Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow, Suit Up!, In the Heist, and The Great Beyond-er! all for pretty much the same reasons.

And if you haven't watched the show, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GO DO THAT NOWWWW!!!

~Crowds gather around the halls as everyone was gasping and some chanting the word “fight!” The Frenchman was currently fighting a kid, but why?~

Alexander tried to look above the crowd to see what was happening, but due to his shortness he couldn't.

"Move, i wanna look..!"

Opinion on Lafayette?

*heavy breathing*

i saw this ask in my last class where i can’t use my phone so i sprinted across campus to answer it asap GSJWHWJW

i. fucking love that crusty ass straggot.

he is like one of the few historical men i will defend in most scenarios. i genuinely believe he had the best intentions more often than not, and his biggest fault was how naive he was. i think he was such a nice guy who tried his best, but fucked up very often bc he just wasn’t that smart HSKWBWJ like he was smart but not. in the ways he needed to be smart.

im currently reading a people’s history of the french revolution by eric hazan after reading one of marie antoinette’s biographies just bc it pissed me off how much the author demonized lafayette. the french revolution is my primary example of how his intentions seem totally pure but he didn’t know how to actually execute his ideas properly, and he just assumed everyone else was a good person until he was forced to recognize that’s not always the case. i think he was a “moderate” (meaning that he was in between the left and right) because he saw good in both sides.

also you cannot tell me the reason he was so obsessed with america wasn’t because he lost the comfort of his family at a young age and then found it again when he arrived in america. motherfucker had so many emotional issues

i am obsessed with him. he’s one of my specialties (along with hamilton, washington, and laurens (and previously, burr, its just been a while since i’ve gone in depth on him)). i have two other biographies on lafayette that im going to read after i finish this book and i am so excited. i love lafayette
