I’m losing it at the guy who posted on r/napoleon asking if it was worth it to make a side trip to Paris from a trip to Poland to see Napoleon’s tomb

mentioned that losing his virginity was on his bucket list

Receiving comments being baffled and a few comments going “lose your virginity on/at the tomb!”

And then clarifying that he meant his napoleonic virginity, never visited Austerlitz or Waterloo or held a genuine sword

why would you fucking phrase it that way

[hanciiii]

another sketch today!!!! ill hope ill get some inspiration to make an actual piece soon ♡

*Book Report!*

I'd just like to start off by saying that one of the first people in the Napoleonic community that I found on here, was @joachimnapoleon , the author of this book! I've learned so much from her blog, specifically about Joachim Murat, but also about all our other beloved Napoleonic characters. Murat is definitely a big character in the story of Napoleon. I'll admit I didn't know much about him, other than the basics that all the Napoleon biographies listed. Dashing cavalry man that married Napoleon's sister, Caroline, and eventually betrayed him. Based on that, I didn't particularly like him, as I tend to see things from Napoleon's point of view. This book changed my outlook and I saw, through Murat's own words, that he was just looking out for his family and his kingdom. It was so much deeper than just "betraying" Napoleon. I would not have liked to be in his situation! It was sweet to see the letters to his family, specifically to his daughter, Letitia. I think my favorite part was in the earlier letters to his parents though, when he was repeatedly asking for his baptismal certificate. It reminded me of myself when I moved out from my parents house and I had to keep asking my mom for my birth certificate so I could get my license changed. It's also interesting to see how people wrote to each other back then, so dramatically if they didn't get a reply and constantly referencing their health. I very much enjoyed the introduction as well, where Sarah Hammell explains how she got into Napoleonic history and Murat in particular. My only complaint about this book, is some sort of editing error I assume, where sometimes the footnote numbers are small and sometimes the same size as the normal font. Just a small inconsistency. I hope that this book opens the door and inspires more authors to write books on Murat in English, something that we are very lacking.

Y2K LANNES Y2K LANNES!!!!!!!!! Happy birthday to you :D

For Lannes's birthday artwork, I decided to try something different, so why not attempt to make a Y2K inspired poster for him. I quite like how it turned out!

Everyone’s tired after a long battle, but at least Marshal Murat looks great in his ridiculous hat 🎩 😮‍💨
