Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755-1842) Comtesse de la Châtre (Marie Charlotte Louise Perrette Aglaé Bontemps, 1762–1848), 1789

Marie Antoinette, who regularly sat for Vigée Le Brun, popularized the kind of simple, white muslin dress so beautifully painted in this portrait of the comtesse de la Châtre, daughter of Louis XV’s premier valet de chambre.

One super funny thing about the French Rev (that Victor Hugo even references in Les Mis) is the way it altered naming conventions, resulting in tons of WILD amazing ridiculous names!

Basically what happened was— during the French Rev the laws around registering names were relaxed, so people started giving extremely revolutionary names to themselves and their babies.

Sadly Napoleon’s government later cracked down on this. When Napoleon came into power he passed a restrictive law mandating that people had to choose among a list of “normal” names, banning the weird revolution ones, because he was a spineless coward afraid of the power these names had. The restrictive naming laws weren’t repealed until late in the 20th century.

But anyway here are some of my favorite French Rev baby names (taken from this list):

Mort Aux Aristocrates -“Death to Aristocrats”

Amour Sacré de la Patrie l’an Trois -“Sacred Love of the Fatherland Year III”

Lagrenade —“The Grenade”

Droit de l’Homme Tricolor “Right of Man Tricolor”

Égalité — “Equality”

Régénérée Vigueur— “Regenerated Strength”

Marat, ami du peuple -“Marat, friend of the people”

Marat, défenseur de la Patrie—“Marat, defender of the Fatherland”

La Loi-“The Law”

Philippe Thomas Ve de bon coeur pour la République — “Philippe Thomas ‘Go with a good heart for the Republic’”

Raison —“Reason”

Simon Liberté ou la Mort —“Simon “Freedom or Death””

Citoyen Français—“French Citizen”

Sans Crainte— “Without Fear”

Unitée Impérissable— “Imperishable Unity”

Victoire Fédérative— “Federal Victory”

Vengeur Constant —“Constant Avenger”

Necessary questions one should be able to answer before they can (informedly) criticize the French revolution and/or Robespierre:

1. Why was Louis XVI executed?

2. What is the war of the First Coalition?

3. Most of the people who died in the French revolution were members of which social group?

4. What was the cause of death for most of the people who died in the French revolution? Was it guillotine?

5. Who is Joseph Fouché? Also: Who is Collot d'Herbois?

6. Who introduced the Terror and why? (Could also ask "what was the Terror" but that could be too tricky to answer).

7. (Bonus trick question) Who was the ruler of France during the Terror?

I don't even mean this sarcastically. I am totally cool with people criticizing frev (Robespierre, etc.) but some basic knowledge needs to be in place in order to do so.

#not inspired by any specific drama #slightly inspired by thar google search post about frev filled with innacuracies #but seriously there is a huge lack of knowledge about even the basic facts #which is not a problem in itself - not everyone knows history #but somehow everyone is sure they know why frev was bad or why robespierre was evil etc. #while not having basic facts #so we still get the idea of idk aristocrats being erradicated or louis xvi executed for no reason or robespierre the ruler of france #frev #french revolution

Still thinking about the insanity of the line 'I like how you withhold. It's alluring' and all its implications. Maybe we approached the 'are Dubai Louis and Armand still having crazy sex or in a dead bedroom relationship' debate from the wrong angle, because even if Louis isn't putting out Armand would just think that it's a sexy and amusing game and be having the time of his life

And when I get my all black interview with the vampire remake ala the wiz then what

#listen there truly is so much you can do with blackness and itwv #even what we get with louis and his own struggles with race and racism in the show like lets not stop there #and i thunk it is a great way to get more black fans 1) involved 2) in creative spaces cus imma be real. i dont wanna see more white lestats #like lestat as an alexander dumas type has been rattling around my brain for months i need people to see the vision #i also just see it more as a way to look at how slavery and its legacies have forever warped how the Diaspora interrelates #not only slavery but french colonialism as well. what does it mean to be a free man of color when your cousins are being sold off? #what does it mean to be Haitian in spaces like aristocratic colonial france? #how does the arab slave trade factor in? #like there are so many good points of meta we could do if people weren't obsessed with woobyfying white men in this fandom #hell even the notion of passing in itwv is deeply intriguing #interview with the vampire #iwtv #amc iwtv
