TAG YOURSELF AS A MEMBER OF THE GENEVA SQUAD!

Parts of it are very cringe but parts of it - well, still cringe, but worth sharing I think

#straight might not be the right word to use here #fun

Being into history means occasionally reading passages/seeing things on your historical fav and immediately clutching your chest and sharply inhaling as tears brim your eyes.

"Why do you have so many names?" "Comment?" "Names. Joseph, Paul—names." "Oui, oui. Alors. So many before me, they make dead in battle. And so ma mère, she want me have protection of heaven. And so, Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier." "What do I call you then?" "Gilbert."

Walks up to a couple: Soo, which one of you is the Prussian-born monarch with emotional baggage and which is the overly dramatic French philosopher they can't help but keep throwing their money at?

Ah, back in the good ol' days of the 18th century, when rain water could be used as a substitute for distilled water as a weight standard, because of no pollution...

The excerpt is from Prieur's Mémoire, p. 33

reading about Goujon is such a rewarding experience, just last night i opened a biography of his to a random page and learnt he helped a wounded soldier on a battlefield by giving up his horse for him to ride. he then declined public praise from people who had seen this happen and he himself never talked about it

Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period

10, 13, and 26 for history asks :D

10. Pieces of art ( paintings, sculpures, lithographies, ect.) related to history you like most ( post an image of them)

Self-Portrait of Boilly as a sans-culotte:

13. Something random about some random historical person in a random era.

This will be more about the present but hear me out. Nikola Tesla was cremated and his ashes rest in a spherical urn in the Nikola Tesla museum, Belgrade (Serbia). There is a HUGE controversy in Serbia over this, because it's seen as an inappropriate burial for such a huge figure of national pride. But the museum doesn't want to give the urn to the church, so there are periodical protests/fights/controversies over it, particularly near the elections, when there is a need to score political points over Tesla's remains. 26. Forgotten hero we should know about and admire?

Already answered with Michel Lepeletier, so now maybe Félix Lepeletier. Not as heroic, but I love a reformed himbo.
