Hello! I’m reading Madame Roland’s memoirs and in the intro of the 1901 English publication it refers to her rejecting an alliance with Danton.

Do you know if this is referring to a specific incident or if Danton particularly tried to stay allied with the Girondins?

Should be the following part from Manon’s memoirs, describing Danton in the summer of 1792, that gets referenced here:

Danton hardly let a day go by without coming to my house; sometimes it was for advice; he either arrived a little too early, and passed through my apartment, or stopped there a little later in the day, usually with Fabre d'Églantine. Sometimes he came to ask me for soup, and on other days when I was not accustomed to receive visitors, to discuss some business with Roland. One couldn’t show more zeal, a greater love for liberty, a more keen desire to get along with our colleagues to serve it effectively. I looked at this repulsive and atrocious face; and although I told myself that it was not necessary to judge anyone based on their apperance, that I was not sure of anything against him, that the most honest man must have two reputations at a time like this, that finally it was necessary to defy appearances, I could not apply the idea of ​​a good man to his face. I have never seen anything that so perfectly characterized the outburst of brutal passions, and the most astonishing audacity, half-veiled by the air of great joviality, the affectation of frankness and a sort of of good nature. My imagination, quite lively, paints all the people who strike me doing something that I believe suits their character. I can’t spend half an hour looking at a physiognomy a little outside the vulgar, without dressing it in the costume of a profession, or giving it a role, of which it inspires me or reminds me of the idea. This imagination has often brought before me Danton with a dagger in his hand, exciting with voice and gesture a troop of assassins more timid or less ferocious than himself; or else, happy with his crimes, indicating by the gesture which characterizes Sardanapalus, his habits and his inclinations. Certainly I defy an experienced painter not to find in the person of Danton all the desirable attributes for this composition. […] [Danton and Fabre] were very keen to get me chatting by talking to me about patriotism: I had nothing to keep quiet about or conceal in this regard; I also profess my principles before those whom I believe share them, or whom I suspect do not have that pure ones; it is confidence towards some, pride towards others: I disdain to hide myself, even under the pretext or the hope of better penetrating others. I approach men through tact, I judge them by their conduct compared in these different times with their language: but I show myself entirely, and never leave anyone doubting who I am. As soon as the Assembly had issued a decree which allocated one hundred thousand livres to the Minister of Interior for printing useful writings, Danton and Fabre, above all, asked me, by way of conversation, if Roland was able in this respect, if he had writers ready to employ, etc. I replied that he was no stranger to those who had already made themselves known; that the periodical works, written in a good spirit, first indicated those who should be encouraged; that it was a question of seeing their authors, of bringing them together sometimes so that they could learn about the facts of which it would be important to disseminate knowledge, and agree on the way of bringing minds more effectively to the same goal; that if Fabre and Danton particularly knew some of them, they had to indicate them, and they had to come with them to the Minister of Interior, where we could, once a week, for example, discuss what should, under current circumstances, primarily occupy writers. “We have a newspaper project,” Fabre replied to me, “which we will call Compte rendu au Peuple souverain, and which will present the picture of the last revolution. Camille Desmoulins, Robert, etc, work on it.”

”Well! You must bring them to Roland.”

He was careful not to do so; there was no more talk of the newspaper, which however began as soon as the Assembly had given the council two millions for secret expenses. […] Danton and Fabre stopped coming to see me in the last days of August. They certainly didn’t want to expose themselves to attentive eyes when they sang during the mornings of September, and they had sufficiently judged what Roland and those around him were like. A firm, lofty and frank character, severe principles manifested without ostentation, but without embarrassment; an even and sustained conduct, first appears to all eyes. They concluded that Roland was an honest man, with whom there was nothing to do in undertakings of their kind; that his wife offered no way by which he could be influenced; that, just as firm in her principles, she perhaps had more of that sort of penetration specific to her sex, of which false people have to be more wary; perhaps they also predicted that she could sometimes hold the pen, and that in short such a couple, strong in character, with some talents, could harm their designs, and were only fit to lose. The sequence of events, illuminated by a host of details that it would be difficult for me to explain today, but of which I still have a strong feeling, gives these conjectures all the evidence of the demonstration.

If there’s more evidence for Danton trying to get closer to the girondins in general or the Rolands in particular is however something I don’t know…

I hate to do this again, but I'm out of options. I have to pay my $350 power bill by 5pm CST tomorrow (December 7th, 2023) or I'll be disconnected, and my account is currently over $500 in the red from December's rent. I still haven't been able to find a new job and things are getting really desperate

If I can get $350 within the next 24 hours, I can pay the bill directly through paypal and at least keep my lights on while keeping my bank account overdrawn for now. If you're able to help out, my ko-fi is here, and you can DM me for my paypal or venmo if necessary. Reblogs are also appreciated. Thanks y'all <3

$0/350

#i'm really embarrassed to be asking again already #to preemptively answer some questions: the last post was about November's (overdue) rent. that was paid. the overdraft is for December #and no i don't know why this one overdrafted my account but the last one bounced #and yes $350 is an unusually large power bill. there was an issue with my water heater that my landlord took his sweet time to come fix #ugh i really do hate doing this again so soon i'm sorry #it's almost making me regret giving so much to mutual aid when i had a well-paying job instead of saving #keyword almost - i'm still glad i did - but damn this situation sucks

A very little detail about luffy that just came to mind (probably not important but pls excuse my tunnel vision when it comes to zolu), but zoro literally was the first strawhats that luffy shedded his tears for???

Mihawk vs Zoro. You can even see his tears falling from both eyes. From the left eye (1st pic) and right eye (2nd pic).

And not only that but i think it happened twice?

You can see rayleigh stopping kizaru from hurting zoro. Then if you look at the bottom panel, after seeing rayleigh you can spot the little snot from luffy's nose and a single tear from his left eye. Luffy was very relieved to see rayleigh, but more importantly, he was very relieved because rayleigh had just saved zoro from kizaru's attack.

Now the more i think about it, those two moments (when luffy cried(?) for zoro) were never really a grandiose one with all the big tears and ugly sobbing. But well, if you think about it, that kind of thing wouldn't be possible(?) not really... cuz at the time when those two situations occurred, zoro was in incredible danger AND with powerful foe/s around. Luffy didn't have the time to properly process his emotions. Like heck after mihawk slashed zoro, luffy even tried to attack mihawk. And with the sabaody arc one, the situation was even more chaotic..

So honestly? Im just thinking about how zoro probably was the first person outside of luffy's family and all of his loved ones from foosha village (imma include shanks and his crew just bcs) that ever made him cry. I'm talking about the 'you are important to me, i care about you, and i don't want you getting hurt/dead' kind of tears, and ughh, idk let me just excuse myself and weep for a bit

That being said, if im not wrong i think zoro and usopp are the only two strawhats who ever made their captain cry twice. (Luffy cried after the battle with usopp (usopp leaving the crew) and after usopp rejoining the crew)

#zolu #luzo #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #one piece #btw i reread the manga like a LOT and cant say the same about the anime so i'd rarely talk abt the anime?? just fyi(?) #also uhh tbh luffy almost cried for usopp during the syrup village arc but keyword: almost #baratie arc #sabaody arc #BUT i'd probably talk more abt the anime if i rewatch certain eps/arcs idk

Ideally one of my books will be published this year but while I have an itty bitty audience of mainly just rp mutuals going on record to say in no matter what I write none of the characters are straight

#the keyword is ideally #listen one is ALMOST finished #then i gotta edit it and look for publishers #but ngl its probably gonna end up on amazon for like 2 bucks or smthing

Alright. So I think this weekend the Second Conquest update is going to be tomorrow instead of Sunday, but it isn't going to be a double update weekend.

Next weekend I'm tentatively penciling in a double update for Second Conquest (those chapters are paired and I want them going up the same weekend), and then the weekend after that I should be starting the new Aemond 5+1 series. I think.

Mixed in with all of this is I have a fest fic (thankfully a shorter one) for another fandom due on the 30th and I don't like leaving those to the last minute.

#I don't know how much socializing is going to be expected of me #but my relatives don't get here until almost dinnertime tomorrow #so I should have plenty of time to write #keyword should #fingers crossed #in an ideal world #I'll write the fest fic tomorrow as well

if. if johnny was a stripper. which is canon now apparently. who’s gonna tell the writers. that he wasn’t just stripping for women.

#do they not think gay people exist?? like it's not 100% women i just. #granted i'm aware it was the late 80s and men at male strip clubs/events were not nearly as common as they are now #i did a quick skim of an article (because of course i did) and it seems more like there were 'ladies only' and specifically gay strip clubs #which may hold true today to a certain degree or they may have kinda blurred together #i don't know i haven't. been. to a strip club yet. #anyways this is all i'm thinking about this is all i've ever wanted #this almost makes up for the stupid fucking karate baby (keyword: almost) #johnny lawrence #cobra kai #ck spoilers
