Help me, my dear friend!

Sooooooo

Because these two have literally been occupying my mind the moment I found out about simonne's existence, I decided to draw them!!!!!!! As one does.

These two together, specifically Simonne, ARE SO UNDERAPPRECIATED

AGHJJHH I WISH WE KNEW MORE ABOUT HER AND MARAT'S LIFE TOGETHER

Well. We know quite a handful of information about them but IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ME

Whyyyyyy aren't there more people talking about simonne. She is so awesome. She's extremely politically active, attending the cordeliers club even after marat died, literally funding the publication of his newspapers that would change the hypothetical political tides of France during the revolution and cause big changes for the better, HER DEDICATION TO MARAT IN GENERAL, TO THE POINT OF PROTECTING MARAT'S LIFE FROM LAFAYETTE'S AGENTS MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF TIME THEY KNEW EACH OTHER, because she truly saw something in him that most people, even to this day, don't see. They understood each other, and not a lot of people can say they understand marat. How she stood by him, even when his chronic illness got worse, and more people were out to get him, their entire relationship is just..... It's just so special to me.

I kind of hate myself more and more by the day because of my chronic illness, aaaand I feel like I'm not worth any dedication from anyone. Because. I feel like i'm just too much to deal with. Too much to take care of. My back pains, constant low energy, and just!!!!!! Never as good as I could be!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!!!! Hahahaha

But the existence of these two. Like. It might sound silly but I feel hopeful knowing they existed. That despite everything horrible that was sent towards marat, despite his illness becoming worse and worse... He was going to be okay at the end, because he had simonne, who was never going to give up on him!!!! Because he was worth the hard work!!!!! And she loved him!!!!!! And he loved her!!!!!! And I won't ever allow anyone to forget them!!!!!! You hear me?!??? Now who wants to be my simonne?!?!!!!?!

Since today is Simonne Évrard's birthday I thought it was nice to share my translation of her biography written by the historian Stefania di Pasquale. The books also talks about Simonne's husband, Jean-Paul Marat and sister-in-law, Albertine Marat.

You can find it here.

This is my first ever serious translation work and I'm no professional, so if you notice some mistakes, let me know and I'll fix them ^_^

My Marat keeps trying to get into fights with people who are mean to him. He's asked me for a sword, and got mad when I didn't provide one. I keep telling him not to physically fight people but he's not listening to me. Would a Simonne Evrard help me calm him down?

This is indeed a complicated situation. Marat's don't usually get on well with swords! Be careful that he doesn't end up hurting himself by accident.

I think a Simmone Évrard would certainly do him a lot of good! Marat's unfortunately tend to be very lonely at times, as they are so threatened by others, and it would be great if your Marat had a - good - friend to keep him company! As long as the two of them are together, I'm sure this will distract your Marat from trying to get into trouble with other people. It's very common for Marats to display this kind of quarrelsome and confrontational behavior, but this is mainly due to their desire to stand up for what they think is right. Don't forget to keep your Marat in places that are safe and comfortable for him, like his bathtub, for example! Taking baths can ease the pain of his skin condition and make him less likely to be affronted with you and others, as well as calming him down.

Hope it helps! Keep me informed.

has anyone here done any sort of deep dive into whether doctor poumiès de la siboutie is reliable in his memoirs or not? he claims to have met souberbielle and simonne evrard which is certainly not impossible, but is it TOO convenient? its not terribly important, he doesnt say much that hasnt already been said, but it would still be good to know, theres so little on simonne after the revolution

8 14 18 for history asks?

Ok, so, don’t mind me, I’m just gonna reply to these questions not in order! Because I say so.

14. Why you are interested in history ( a silly question, eh?) ?

Alright, so. Jesker Lore™ time. My mom’s a historian, specifically, she studied mostly Ancient Mesopotamia (the Acadians are sus chicos. She’s obsessed with them, and a few other details I’m not going to mention because I low key fear accidentally translating a term wrong or misremembering something and her spirit coming over to hit me with a rolled up newspaper.). So I grew up with her telling me stories and helping me with my history homework. I don’t really remember history classes, except for the last few years of my life, in my head it’s always mom explaining me why things happened the way they did. When one day I started rambling about frenchmen and guillotines, she instantly started forwarding me articles and eventually started getting me books from her second hand bookstore (which is one of the reasons why I have… let me count… 36 books? On Frev? More or less.) So we can blame her for why I’m like this about Marat and Simonne Evrard.

And my interest of Spanish history is born more on my need to understand why my family ended the way it did and a bunch of other unrelated stuff that are way too personal.

8. What is the last thing you have read/ listened/ spoke with historical reference?

If Tumblr doesn’t count (which I don’t count it as), I have been reading on art history lately, because of my delusions of making it into art school next year. The book I was reading was an inherited one, and I planed to only read that one and then delve into what interested me most. But then I saw that the Mesopotamian art was only granted a page and a bit of content, and I just. Nope. That is insulting both to my mother and the Mesopotamians. So I asked mom for some extra material and now I’m reading about the topic! I’m a very slow reader though.

18. Look at the clock and assume the numbers are forming historical year ( 17;58 would be 1758) What was / is / will be the world that year? Any event happened then or will happen?

As of writing this, it’s 16:06. … Well I have no idea what the fuck was going on France then, it’s too early for my area of interest. As of Mesopotamia, it’s kinda, eh, no longer around? Spain, well, we have Felipe Tercero. We had a few Felipes in a row, so forgive me for having to check what the fuck this one did. I think the only thing he did in 1606 was change the placement of the court. And I don’t know if he expelled the moriscos before or after that. The Duque de Lerma was there fucking shit up as his valido. So yeah, not a lot of interesting stuff? We get a war just a bit later, but that isn’t interesting either, just depressing. At least it’s not Fernando Séptimo. Fuck that guy, god I hate him so muchhhhh.

#Is this rambly? Yes #but no one else asked me anything so #I deserve to ramble #as a treat #anyways shoutout to my last history teacher who stared at me oddly after I replied to every single French Revolution related question she a #and shoutout to my classmates who’d already heard me rambling about the frenchies enough to not raise their hands #and shoutout to my last English teacher who had to sit by and observe as I made every single project be somehow related to the frenchies #and to my literature teacher who allowed me to make an essay on how a fictional character of Spanish 20th century theatre was very similar #ok I’m done #probably #also yeah my surname’s jesker #enjoy that bit of lore #that’s all byeeeee

Dedicated to @brissot for their glorious text post about simonne and marat. It's very very true and real

Simonne Évrard's speech of 8 August 1793 in the National Convention

"I am not here to ask you the favors of cupidity that claims and craves for indigence. Marat’s widow just needs a grave. Before I get to the relieving end of my tormented life, I come to ask you for justice towards the new attacks committed against the memory of the most intrepid and outraged of the people’s defenders. These monsters, how much gold did they lavish! How many hypocritical pamphleteers were paid to put his name to shame! With such hateful rage, they tried so hard to give him a colossal political existence and a detestable celebrity, in order to dishonor the people’s cause that he proudly defended. This day, still stained by his blood, they persecute him to his grave; some other day, they still dare to murder his memory. They are even trying to depict the monster, who pierced his chest with the parricide iron, as an intriguing heroine. In this circle we see the vilest of them all, the Carra, the Ducos, the Dulaure, the shameless praises in their periodicals to encourage their peers to slaughter what is left of the defenders of liberty. I do not talk about the vile Pétion who, in Caen, during a meeting with his accomplices, dared to say that the murder was a virtue.

Soon enough the foolish treachery of the conspirators, who pretend to honor the civic virtues, will make the infamous publications grow, where the horrible murder is presented in favorable ways and the martyr of the patrie is disfigured by the most hideous convulsions.

But here it is the most wicked of their schemes: They bribed some foolish writers who shamelessly usurp his name and tarnish his principles to immortalize the empires of lies which he was victim of! Cowards! First, they flatter the people’s pain to get their praise, then they speak the language of patriotism and morality so that the people believe to still be listening to Marat; but all of this is just to slander the most zealous defenders who have protected them. It is to preach, in Marat’s name, the exaggerations that his enemies attributed to him.

I denounce two men in particular, Jacques Roux and Leclerc, who claim to carry on his patriotic papers and make his shadow talk to insult his memory and to betray the people. After spouting revolutionary platitudes, they encourage the people to outlaw the government. It is in those occasions that they use his name to stain in blood the day of the 10th of August, because his sensitive soul, devastated by the sight of the crimes of tyranny and the uneasiness of humanity, sometimes let out some rightful curses towards the people’s oppressors and public leeches. They try to preserve the parricide lie that persecuted him and made him look like a foolish apostle of anarchy and chaos. And who are these men that claim his place? It is a priest, who the day after the faithful deputies triumphed over their cowardly enemies, came to insult the National Convention through a seditious and wicked speech. There is another man, no less perverse, who is associated with the mercenary furors of said impostor. What is important to remark is that these two men are the same who had been denounced by him at the Cordeliers’ club  just a few days before his death as people paid by our enemies to create public disorder and, on the same occasion, they were also formally expelled from this popular society. What is the aim of this perfidious faction that fuels these criminal intrigues? It is to vilify the people who honor the memory of the one who died for their cause. It is to slander all the friends of the patrie, whom it has designated as Maratists; to deceive all the French people across the whole republic, who gather for the reunion of August the 10th, by presenting them their perfidious writings, in which they preach the teaching of the very people’s representative they slaughtered. It is to cause disturbance in these solemn days through some disastrous catastrophe.

God! What will become of the people? If these men can usurp their trust! What is the deplorable condition of their intrepid defenders if death itself cannot avoid them the fury of their murderers! Legislators, for how long would you endure it if crime insulted virtue? Where does this privilege come from, of English and Austrian emissaries to trap public opinion, to give daggers to the defenders of our laws and to know the founding valor of our raising republic? If you let them go unpunished then I denounce them all here to the French people, to the universe. The memory of the martyrs of liberty and the heritage of the people; that of Marat is the only good deed left to me, I devote to his defense the last days of a languid life. Legislators, avenge the patrie, the honesty, the misfortune and the virtue, striking at the most cowardly of all the enemies.”

For the ask game, Simone Evrard (Marat's wife) wiiiiittthhhh.... Number 4

In your eyes, what is their biggest strength? Oooh! Sdsfadsf... everything? She was dedicated to the revolution and she helped Marat so much. She was his protector, in more ways than one. They are a frev power couple that not many people know about! And she seems to be passionate about the revolution and was a revolutionary in her own right. I really love Simone and I want her to be better known.
