#Miss Sans-Culotte

[immaturityofthomasastruc]

I haven't seen anyone bring this up so I'll go ahead and say this, I feel pretty unsettled about Hawk Moth akumatazing a pregnant person

Like, akumatized people are more resistant and I know Bustier had an armor, but still..

The best part is that the episode acknowledged how stress isn't good for a pregnant woman when Chloe made a scene in class, yet nothing like that was said when Ms. Bustier was akumatized.

Pt VII good omens S1E3 but i'm in a fever-induced haze and i watched it four days ago

Hello maggots it turns out I may have a viral fever... or perchance I'm just going viral in the GO fandom and Crowley being so hot has given me a fever (this is what I learned from years of studying thermodynamics). BAHAHAHAHAHAH anyway this is a LOOOONG post.

EDIT: There are time inconsistencies, as some of you informed me. Paint before wall slam etc. But this show does not follow linear time, just like me. Time is cosmic Play-Doh, and @neil-gaiman, Einstein and I are toddlers playing with it all bendy-bendy. We may have eaten some. I blame Neil. So I will correct nothing.

(im sorry to all my followers, the maggots, and everyone reading this post, i'm afraid this level of quality will be sustained for the rest of the post)

Whatever it may be... haveth my summary of Good Omens Ep3, or whatever I remember of it, anyway.

The second the episode started streaming everyone was yelling about the cold open in the chat.

I could be conflating this with Ep 1 but I think it begins with Aziraphale's gaslight gatekeep girlboss moment where he straight up LIES TO GOD about giving the dumb humans a flaming sword right after they fell from grace.

Hot take from someone who has negligible biblical knowledge, look at it, guys. What harm has an apple ever done to mankind (except to doctors)? Nothing. *nods vigorously* And then our lovely angel goes and gIVES THEM A GODDAMN FLAMING SWORD. Nice, fire and weaponry, this is going to go well for the world!

Anyway lesson is Aziraphale is a chaotic lil bastard and it's why we and Crowley love him.

Fast forward to uh, Noah's Ark... There is a unicorn and it runs away, which Crowley/Crawly seems concerned about. Azi is just chilling there watching all of humanity be drowned and Crowley, looking gorgeous may I add, walks up and she's like CHILDREN? WHY ARE YOU KILLING CHILDREN?

Did I mention that she looks gorgeous with those flowing locks because she does. It gives kind of Disney Brave vibes, doesn't it? Wait is David Tennant Scottish I WANT A DAVID TENNANT/CROWLEY MERIDA COSPLAY.

Anyway so Aziraphale and Crowley watch everyone drown etc

I may have missed a few centuries but then we have ol' Bill Shakespeare and Hamlet (David!!) and Aziraphale like the bean he is wants to cheer them on, and does it badly.

Crowley is standing there thinking man this angel is a fucking doofus why do I love him, and then they make a deal that allows them to do NO work whatsoever since their work cancels out anyway.

Aziraphale pouts at Crowley and Crowley melts inside and makes Hamlet a success though he doesn't even like Shakespeare's tragedies but Azi does and that's all that matters.

OH YEAH FRENCH REVOLUTION. Just to fuck with Aziraphale and because the painkillers are getting to me, I'm gonna do this one in my shit French (et non, je ne peux pas utiliser les accents, j'utilise l'ordinateur et je ne veux pas ouvrir Google). Alors, la revolution est la, Aziraphale veut manger (quelle surprise) et ses vetements sont tres chers, les sans-culottes le tueront, mais Crowley vient et Aziraphale dis "Crowley! Mon hero"

Okay I ran out of French but yes so he was gonna be hanged but Crowley came and Aziraphale's face literally melted and then he switched clothes with the guard and left him to die while he and Crowley went to dine happily (Aziraphale dined, Crowley was hungry for Azi because he has a watching-angel-eat kink).

Aziraphale being a casual accessory to murder/murderer is the most underrated part of good omens.

Fast forward and it's the holocaust and Aziraphale is tricked by some Nazis and they're about to kill him. But Crowley walks down the aisle to their groom, well, more like skips while yelping, and burns the place down for Aziraphale. Naturally Azi's like OH NO MY BOOKS and is ready to cry, then Crowley gently hands him the suitcase full of books unharmed and says just a little miracle for you, baby, want a ride home? And Aziraphale is left holding the books (which by the by Crowley does not care about, they do NOT read books, again, just for Azi) and looking like the happiest man alive and like he would die for Crowley.

Fast forward and we have Crowley in the sixties SERVING with her bob cut, anyone who doesn't like it can fight me to the DEATH, I LOVE HER, and anyway Crowley manipulates, manslaughters and manwhores her way into getting into the car with Aziraphale. He hands her a bottle of holy water because fuck heaven he would do anything for Crowley, and Crowley offers to drive him anywhere (mmmhm Crowley sure you're just being a gentledemon) and Aziraphale tells her that she goes too fast for him. IF THIS ISN'T CALLBACKED IN S3 WITH CROWLEY SAYING "YOU RIDE TOO FAST FOR ME, ANGEL" on a motorbike or horse or his peepee ANYTHING IDC im gonna throw hands.

I'm choosing to forget all the breakups so end cold open back in present day

They're in a paintball arena and Crowley presses Aziraphale into the wall while growling I'm not nice (ok Crowley bro maybe it's time to take a break from 2010s wattpad) and Aziraphale is just gazing adoringly at him. Ex-Satanic nun comes and is like oh my bad this is an intimate moment and Crowley turns around immediately cross that someone's interrupting them but Aziraphale continues to stare at Crowley's face hornily until he reluctantly looks at the nun too. Thanks for the acting choices Michael Sheen.

They hypnotise her and Azi melts when she mentions the antichrist's toesy-woesies and then they leave and Azi is hit by paint, Crowley circles him devouring him with his gaze and finally blows away the paint with an air kiss. I see you, Azi, I KNOW you can get rid of it yourself. Anyway then Crowley turns all the paintball guns into rifles and people start shooting and Azi is like THIS is my husband and they walk away to have drinks while the police swarms.

People were like 'Crowley only ensured no one got killed because of the look Azi gave him' like LMAO have you MET them? Aziraphale is always fucking down for murder, Crowley is the one being like FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AZIRAPHALE NO. Azi was like "shit we gotta kill the antichrist you do it" and crowley's like "bitch slow down we can literally just raise the kid right"

Anyway Crowley gaslights some demons about seeing the hellhound and ig whatever I said happened in Ep 2 with Dog actually happened here etc

The bandstand scene, fuck me. Crowley asks Aziraphale to run away together from the end of the world and Aziraphale says no and they're both sad

we're all sad too

Hello! I am catching up on les mis letters and I think the October 7(???) chapter mentions that none of the les amis are wearing ties. Can you tell me the significance of this? I know nothing of FRev ✌️

Sure! I assume you mean this line:

They reached the Quai Morland. Cravatless, hatless, breathless, soaked by the rain, with lightning in their eyes.

A quick Obligatory Mention that Les Mis is not set in the French Revolution, but in the post-Republic years of the early 19C ! Which is of course mostly relevant here because instead of imagining a bunch of sans culottes

(1842 black and white art of two sans culottes, rather pretty and idealized, by Emilé Wattier)

( a color picture of a sans culotte on the left and maybe far right, with a culottes-wearing drummer between them. All are wearing phrygian caps and republic cockades, and seem to be going off to fight together)

You're instead looking at a group more like this, Fashionwise:

Révolution de 1830 - Combat devant l'hôtel de ville , an idealized portrayal of revolutionaries in 1830, fighting outside the Hotel de VIlle, by Jean-Victor Schnetz (you can really zoom in on it at the Wiki page!) I wanted to bring that--again, highly idealized -- pic of 1830 in because it shows not just what people were wearing, more or less, but how that was being socially interpreted! You've got a lot of different hats here--top hat, workers' caps, bandanas, soldier's hats, etc. And IDK how much you know about fashion in this era, Nonny, but I bet you can start picking out a pattern to who's wearing what.

Especially the way that cravatlass people in workers' caps and bandanas and Phrygian caps are, by and large, turned away from the camera, or have their faces in shadow, while the composition leads us to a central, heroic figure--a student-type in obvious Fashionably Respectable clothes, with a great big cravat. There's even an older man in a nice top hat, with a saber, looking and gesturing to him! THIS is our Central Guy, a good bourgeois type the presumed viewer can feel safe with! Even the heroic worker (hat apparently missing, but he's in overalls, then as now a garment linked with labor) who's swooning into the central student's arms has his eyes shadowed , though at least we see most of his face.

You could write a whole paper on this painting alone, but the barebones relevance here: a bourgeois audience is going to have very different reactions to people who are visibly of Their Class than the scaaaaary, faceless Working Class. And in the real world where combat and crowds aren't as neat and shiny as this painting and the little details like shoes and socks and fit of the trousers and so on is going to get lost in the dust and distance, one of the easiest ways to read a man's social status is hats and cravats -- who's wearing them , what sort are they wearing, etc.

So on an immediate, practical, level , losing the hats and cravats is a bit like "rolling up your sleeves"-- ditching or loosening restrictive clothing before doing hard physical work. But on a social/symbolic level, it's a way of erasing differences of status and social standing between the barricade fighters. Hats gone, cravats gone, everyone soaked by rain and covered in mud, there's no easy distinction between Enjolras and Feuilly--or between a porter and a poet.

Which is all very egalitarian and symbolic and all--but to the sort of reader/ viewer who the painting up there is targeting, it's also very scary, because now there's no obvious sympathetic "leader", no easily-spotted reassuring figure to make them think it's all being organized by the Right Sort of people. It's just a scary,lower-class, undifferentiated mob.

Both these factors, the symbolic equality and the perceived mob nature of the uprising, are very relevant to the rebellion in Les Mis!

..and also it's just SUPER awkward to try and do hard physical work with a tight binding loop of fabric around your throat, or without losing most hats. The Struggle is Real, there.

#what do I even tag this #uh #The Barricades #fashion on the barricades #this was a GOOD QUESTION Nonny sorry if it is kind of a Lot of Answer XD

You know it’s really weird how Dark Blade and Miss Sans-Culotte are basically the same but one is supported by the narrative and one isn’t.

Like they both use mind control to try and behead the bourgeoise.

But I guess it’s okay because this time Andres corruption directly impacts Marinette?

Didn’t Dark Blade want to reestablish the monarchy???

Did Robespierre have conflicts with others on the day he was arrested? I have read someone said that he was missing his shoes and his stocking was folded down to the ankles after arrested (And I also saw a drawing depicted as the description) . If he just intended to commit suiside, there may be lower possibility that he was seen like that.

The fact that Robespierre’s clothes were in disorder after he was arrested and laid out on the table at the Committee of Public Safety comes from the anonymous pampleth Faits recueillis aux derniers instants de Robespierre et de sa saction, du 9 au 10 thermidor (1794):

As for Robespierre, he was missing his shoes, his stockings were folded down to the ankles, his culottes were unbuttoned, and his entire shirt was covered with blood.

Exactly how this happened is hard to know for sure, but the same pampleth also reports that the people who took Robespierre away after he was shot tore apart his shirt and coat, and it doesn’t seem impossible they would have messed up the rest of his clothes too:

One penetrates the interior of the Maison commune; one finds Robespierre, in a room next to the board room; he is lying on the ground, wounded by a gunshot that penetrated his jaw, one picks him up, and sans-culottes carry him by the feet and the head, there are at least twelve people around him; one tears apart the sleeve of his right hand, and the back of his redingote, which was blue.

According to one witness, Augustin Robespierre was spotted on the cornice of the Hôtel de Ville ”with his shoes in his hand” before attempting to jump to his death from there. It’s not impossible Max took off his shoes for the same purpose, but then changed his mind/got shot before being able to go through with it.

I can’t find any other testimony among those gathered here that suggest Robespierre’s clothes were messed up anytime before the shot, so I would say the most likely scenario is that he was mistreated by the people who met him after it. But you saintspierre shippers out there can surely come up with some other reason too…

#or not since that pampleth also states SJ’s clothes were in perfect order… #robespierre #maximilien robespierre #frev #thermidor #ask

Okay, so I was working on Adrien's quick info page for my Miraculous SEKAI AU and I decided to do some research because I haven't seen Miraculous in years and I don't really plan on picking it up again, I'm ignoring a lot of the canon so it's whatever-

ANYWAYS

As I was looking around I ended up looking into other characters and I just...

Miss Bustier as Miss Sans-Culotte...I can't be the only one who saw this and just thought toothpaste:

Edit: I just realized she ALSO looks like she'd work for Malediktator alongside Simple Man.

Difference is she's probably not a bumbling henchman and can probably do shit....she also doesn't get paid.

Hello, did you read https://ar.crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too ? I wanted to ask someone who has knowledge about the french revolution's facts, from the little I know I feel like it's simplistic to a bad degree but I don't know much.. to me, it's worse when an idea I agree with is supported by false/refuctive statements, and I do believe in the core conclusion of this essay.

Thank you.

Alright, so I am not knowledgeable about the 19th century and 1871 Paris Commune so I can't speak on that, but the article itself does include numerous simplifications and errors. It doesn't even contextualize the guillotine in its original context, the way it was invented, to provide a quick and egalitarian death for everyone.

While guillotine sure overstayed its welcome (it was officially abolished only with the abolition of the death penalty in 1981, wtf), the context in which it was first implemented is important to keep in mind. The article doesn't even mention that. It does not paint it as an attempt to move away from what was before it: gruesome executions and only aristocrats being privileged enough to receive beheading (the quickest death). The article jumps straight to 1793 and the execution of the king, so we don't get any context.

Now, I am not sure what to think of the article as a whole. It seems to argue that the guillotine isn't/should not be a symbol of liberation because it includes bloody revenge (?) and a state-inflicted violence, which the author doesn't see as a correct anarchist (?) approach. Which, fine, but it is YMMV and a highly personal opinion. But the author's take on history and the French Revolution context of the guillotine is misleading (and often completely wrong). The article seems to see the guillotine in frev as the weapon of the state against its people, which misses the entire point of guillotine being used in frev to prevent (very real) direct killings committed by the people. While yes, we can talk about the role of the guillotine as a state-inflicted violence, a lot of context is missed by ignoring the fact that the people were eager to do their own revenge, and the government trying to prevent those random murders on the street by giving it at least a semblance of the legal process. It might not fly as fair legal process today, but the opposite was not peace and quiet; the opposite was sans culottes taking justice (or what they saw as justice) into their own hands. They did it during September massacres in 1792, and they were ready to do it again. And when told "hold on, the republic will take care of that", people demanded more and quicker executions. The article never mentions this; on the contrary, it contextualizes the use of guillotine in frev as a bureaucratic state murdering citizens "from afar". Which the article argues is what people today want when they talk about guillotining billionaires or whoever. Which is YMMV and highly personal opinion. But this opinion (about politics today and what to do about social change) is very different than the late 18c situation in France. It's anachronistic and, well, ethnocentric, to view the French Revolution through the lens of our own culture. Whatever one thinks about the use of guillotine during frev, it's not really relevant unless they (try to) understand the context, the time and the cultural circumstances. That not to say that anyone has to support the idea of guillotine (I for one am terrified of the thing and I rarely, if ever, post guillotine memes). But it's not possible to understand what was going on during frev (or Paris Commune 1871 for that matter) unless you understand the context. The article you linked doesn't even seem to try to do that. On the contrary, it openly interprets the past through the present and tries to explain frev through today's cultural sentiments, which is not a good way to go, imo. (Well, if you wish to understand history, which I assume was not the goal of this article). Errors and simplifications under the cut.

The guillotine is associated with radical politics because it was used in the original French Revolution to behead monarch Louis XVI on January 21, 1793, several months after his arrest.

Is this really why it's associated with radical politics? Is it really all about the king (and queen)? Even if so, it is a misleading way to put it: guillotine was implemented so there is at least some legal proceeding (trial, death penalty). The opposite is letting people punish with their bare hands whoever they deem guilty (look at the September Massacres). Whatever we think of direct action, it is clear why government could not allow that to happen (for people to go on the streets and punish whoever they want).

Which is a hugely, immensely important point behind the executions in frev. The article doesn't even mention it, even though it talks about doing revenge yourself vs distant revenge (the author seems unaware that sans cullotes in frev very much wanted a direct revenge and were ready to implement it). The article argues that people today want a distant, impersonal revenge where they don't dirty their own hands "with all the paperwork filled out properly, according to the example set by the Jacobins and the Bolsheviks". This shows a profound lack of understanding of what was going on during frev, when there was a very real struggle between the government and the people over "direct revenge". The "Jacobin procedure" was an attempt to prevent more September massacres; it wasn't something created in a vacuum because Robespierre (or whoever) just wanted to kill people with bureaucratic precision.

Maximilien de Robespierre, sometime President of the Jacobin Club, continued employing it to consolidate power for his faction of the Republican government.

This is an interesting way to describe Robespierre (not incorrect, but misleading, because so many people were presidents of the Jacobin club). At least it doesn't claim he was the president of the CSP. Minus for incorrect use of "de Robespierre" (it's typically done to SJ, so this one is rare). Still, it makes it seem like Robespierre was the mastermind behind the guillotinings (and he somehow achieved that by simply being the president of the Jacobin club?)

As is customary for demagogues, Robespierre, Georges Danton, and other radicals availed themselves of the assistance of the sans-culottes, the angry poor, to oust the more moderate faction, the Girondists, in June 1793.

Plus for mentioning Danton in this context (he is typically spared the Robespierre treatment). While it's true that there was a big Girondin vs Montagnard thing going on (both sides wanted to crush the other), the text misses to point out that: 1) Girondins had the power majority in early 1793; 2) What is "moderate" is debatable - Girondins were for the war that caused so much mess, and it's rarely mentioned as "not moderate"; and 3) (most misleading, imo) It ignores the fact that sans culottes were the ones doing the insurrection, barging into the Convention to demand Girondins be punished, "or else" (= "September massacres again"). The people (sans culottes) were very active in their ideas and demands, and the government (Montagnards included) often had to make careful moves to placate them - there is so, so much about the tensions between the sans culottes (Paris Commune) and the Government that the article doesn't even take into account. (Like seriously, it needs to be well-known.)

By early 1794, Robespierre and his allies had sent a great number of people at least as radical as themselves to the guillotine, including Anaxagoras Chaumette and the so-called Enragés, Jacques Hébert and the so-called Hébertists, proto-feminist and abolitionist Olympe de Gouges, Camille Desmoulins (who had had the gall to suggest to his childhood friend Robespierre that “love is stronger and more lasting than fear”)—and Desmoulins’s wife, for good measure, despite her sister having been Robespierre’s fiancée. 

(Was she really Robespierre's fiancée? And since we're there, should we also mention that Robespierre's sister was the fiancée of the man who killed Robespierre?) Anyway. This paragraph is super misleading because it makes it seem that it was Robespierre "and his supporters" doing all of this, when it was faction fighting where, say, Danton was pushing for the fall of the opposing factions. Yet, everyone is lumped together as Robespierre's victim. (And why is Olympe de Gouges not grouped with Girondins? Of course, we hear that she was an abolitionist, but we don't hear that the rest of them were, too, Robespierre included. Not to mention de Gouges' horrendous take on how black people should not "go too far" to liberate themselves. Like if there is one person in frev that should not be hailed as a great abolitionist it's de Gouges. But I digress).

To celebrate all this bloodletting, Robespierre organized the Festival of the Supreme Being, a mandatory public ceremony inaugurating an invented state religion.

Now they're just making shit up. I've heard many bad takes about the Festival of the Supreme Being, but that it was a celebration of the guillotinings???

After this, it was only a month and a half before Robespierre himself was guillotined, having exterminated too many of those who might have fought beside him against the counterrevolution.

Eeeh. This is more what happened to Thermidorians after the death of Robespierre, but sure we don't talk about the White Terror because it's not important (?) (It's true Robespierre miscalculated by alienating sans culottes, but not because he killed so many that he lost supporters. Again, this is what happened to Robespierre's killers, the Thermidorians, and not to Robespierre).

But it is a mistake to focus on Robespierre. Robespierre himself was not a superhuman tyrant. At best, he was a zealous apparatchik who filled a role that countless revolutionaries were vying for, a role that another person would have played if he had not. The issue was systemic—the competition for centralized dictatorial power—not a matter of individual wrongdoing.

This paragraph is not completely wrong (except it sees Robespierre and frev as being much more organized and eeeh, USSR-like than it was - a common mistake. It was a fucking anarchy where nobody had proper power and control - that is the main problem. But to understand this, one has to understand just how disorganized things were, with no institutions and with no proper bureaucratic apparatus - that was a huge problem. But the article seems to equate frev with USSR so... nah).

To a certain extent, we can understand why Robespierre and his contemporaries ended up relying on mass murder as a political tool. They were threatened by foreign military invasion, internal conspiracies, and counterrevolutionary uprisings; they were making decisions in an extremely high-stress environment. 

Oh, now we are mentioning the context, which was supposed to go to the start of the article to explain wtf was going on. That's abut it for frev. After, the article talks about 19c and I am not knowledgeable enough about that.

[whenimgoodandready]

(patriotic French music plays) In the late 18th-century, most members of the French Revolution consisted of common folk, the sans-culottes, who were sick and tired of being looked down on by the aristocratic a**holes called the Ancien Régime and demanded justice for all! History truly repeats itself as today, the Parisians are still being treated like dirt by the “bourgeoisie” and need to put a stop to it before it gets worse! How? Let’s see!

*Collusion-With the departure of Principal Damocles, Ms.Mendeleiev takes authority as “acting principal”. Unfortunately, despite her no-nonsense appearance, she’s even more cowardly to the high elite than Damocles. With that, Chloe proudly makes a spectacle of herself abusing that power (ex.playing Crazy Frog in the middle of class. Least in the OG storyboard script cuz I like Crazy Frog) much to everyone’s chagrin (unknown to them as Chloe is being fed what to say/do by Cerise through an earpiece Don! Don! Don!). It gets to a point where she even forces her father to have Mendeleiev fire the beloved and very pregnant Ms.Bustier and expel Marinette for false claims of physical abuse. Monarch attempts to akumatize Ms.Bustier over this, but she rejects as she wishes to use words not violence for justice. BAM! Not today buddy! :P.

The rich have all the power don’t they? Gabe and Tomoe even present the idea of having Tomoes technical products, A.I robots, to replace the whole police force. Stick to your day job Gabe, you make clothes! Screw that partnership with Tomoes tech company! Come to think of it, the police don’t actually really do much, but assist the dynamic duo in crime fighting and never arrest the akumatized villain cuz the heroes just brush it off as being brainwashed! It does however force a lot of people out of a job, so yeah that sucks. It’s also a secret way for them to defeat the heroes too.

The only wealthy party who doesn’t like abusing their power in everyone’s face is Mayor Bourgeois. He never wanted to be mayor! He wanted to direct! But with all that pressure from his own father and his ungrateful Karen of a wife (who also forced him to keep Chloe in school and threaten to fire Damocles from the last ep!) and b*itchy daughter, he kept cowering to their every whim just to gain their love! Even with that, coupled with his fame and fortune and authority, he’s not happy! He laments about his inability to stand up to all this to Gabe and he edits it to make him look like a tyrant!

After the doctored video, Ms.Bustier is akumatized this time and becomes Sans-Culotte, a patriotic themed villainess, with the miraculous power of The Pig, who turns people into talking red/white/blue balloon minions with her swinging guillotine and wants to give the upperclass a piece of her mind. Her second akumatized form and she is, how you say, looks like “an armored toothpaste”!? (Badum-tish🥁). Her first akumatized, Zombizou, was a child friendly zombie like being who infected everyone with a contagious mind controlling kissing disease and she didn’t so much look traditionally “zombie” like, but more like a voodoo doll-ish type. I still prefer that over her second form which looked ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! I get it looked like the French flag (sorta kinda), but the golden armor was not helping (except to keep the baby safe from harm). She was supposed to represent the sans-culottes from her lecture she was giving to the class, but if that were the case, why didn’t she look like them!? They dressed in simple tattered old rags to show how poor and down ridden they were! I would’ve very much loved to have seen that kind of look in a supervillain form! Another thing, sense when did The Pig Miraculous have to ability to transform people into balloons!? Did I miss something!? WTF!? Their weapon was also a swinging guillotine! Would’ve been dark had it been used for it’s intended purpose instead just turning people into cutesy singing henchmen. Whomp! Whomp! Whomp! Kids shows, am I right?😒

I don’t think I went through this story from my history classes, but from the research I read (albeit briefly), it looks like the sans-culottes were victorious in their rebellion against the bourgeoisie! Viva La France!🇫🇷 What happened was this:Even though they had pretty much nothing, but the peasant clothes on their backs (hench their name), the sans-culotte sought democracy, they wanted the same food privileges (mostly the bread) as the nobles especially with the quality it was baked. Calling out King Louis XVI for conspiring (a collusion) with foreign monarchies to gain more power and harm the people. Despite what little they had, the sans-culottes had their pikes which were most effective in carrying the heads of those who oppressed them and hogged all the good food. Still denied any equal rights, they took action, to the point of violence, and demanded democracy as well as bread until they caved and justice was restored! (gesturally bows) Sans-culotte is as sans-culoette does! (trumpets sound). Same thing happened here! Sans-Culotte wanted to start a revolution wearing a rather embarrassing outfit (an underwear like gourmet) and confront the “monarchy” abusing their authority (Mayor Bourgeois), using a head splitting weapon (pike) and took a big risk of going against their better judgment of using words with instead using violence (storming the city hall), but thanks to the heroes (one of which has a name that means bread!😉), they talked some sense into her and justice was restored! Mayor Bourgeois willfully and happily step down from office and reinstated Ms.Bustiers job back which made her calm down and de-akumatize herself. As nice as that was, a bigger threat approached with a new aristocrat thanks to the person behind the person working in their underground lair of the catacombs. Beware! They’re planning their own “The Great Wave of Kanagawa”! Don! Don! Don!

I'm curious about your thoughts regarding people speculating Bustier willingly accepted Monarchs offer the second time around due to her specifically saying "I'm only doing this for the children, Monarch,"

If it's true, then we pretty much have another "Qilin" on our hands.

Honestly, Miss Sans-Culotte reminds me of my OC Akumatized Villain, Robber-Spierre (whose civilian identity is Francois Republicain) that I invented... more than year ago

[hypexion]

It's the final return of the Akuma Tier List. Monarch finally had a good idea or two. I'd say it didn't help him in the end, but it sort of did.

Also some of these supervillains were created for goals other than getting the Miraculous, so they are probably being judged on their own metrics.

S Tier

Hoaxer, Ms. Sans-Culotte, Perfect Alliance

Two of these are already skating in the on different goals rule, but a win is a win. Sure, Hoaxer completed her own goals, rather than Monarch's, but she's still a perfect mind control akuma who only lost because she wanted to. Meanwhile, Ms. Sans-Culotte ironically helped Monarch dispose of a problematic mayor and install a new one. She also gets points for being the "Madame Guillotine" akuma, which I didn't think they'd actually do.

Then there's the Perfect Alliance plan, which leverages negative emotions to transform a signifigant portion of the world's population into soldiers for Monarch. It's the Catalyst plan on a global scale. Now this is supervillainy. It's incredibly effective, and only "fails" due to luck. Fighting the millions of Alliance users simply isn't possible, even if you remove some of the rings. Eventually, you'll make a mistake, and it's over. In many ways, being in the Agreste Mansion when things started saved Ladybug, since the relatively enclosed space reduced the number of Miraculised she had to fight at once. All in all, a very good plan.

A Tier

Darker Owl, Manipula, Safari, Gold Record, Queen Mayor, Nightormentor

A pile of good ideas, although less than before. Manipula is probably the weakest here, but she came with a whole army and performed pretty well. If only the power of Determination worked on wax. The rest all do something fairly dangerous, like "never miss (with paralysis arrows)" or "invisible killer robots". Nightormentor is down here because he technically didn't complete his goal of finding Adrien, and his second appearance gets folded into Perfect Alliance.

B Tier

Ikari Dozen, Pharaoh 2, Kikou, Riposte Prime, Vanisher 2, Matagi Gozen

This time around the B tier is split good ideas with bad execution, and bad ideas with good execution. Giving five powers at once is good, but making two of them defensive is a waste. Matagi Gozen is also dubious, wasting a slot on Clout instead of more useful ability. Meanwhile, Pharaoh could use his truth powers to get the heroes' identities, but he does not.

Riposte Prime and Vanisher are slightly weird in that they're specificly Anti-Marinette akumas. Riposte Prime traps her in a Shelter Sphere, which is not a long term solution, while Vanisher fails to frame her. Riposte is especially strange because it's not like Gabriel had a problem with her impaling his son.

C Tier

Glaciator IV, Reflecta EX, Bugfighter

The violence akumas that have nothing else going for them. Really, the big winner here is the Better Reflecta, who is finally dangerous for once. Meanwhile Glaciator returns again, without anything to make him even slightly effectual. Lots of Clouters are actually hazardous. One is not.

Oh and Bugfighter is the big loser under "reversed timelines count" rules since she just kept shrugging off the akuma. Like she could grab Cosmobug, but it didn't help.

D Tier

Sole Destroyer, Dark Humour

One last "akuma that makes the Miraculous irretriviable" for the road, eh? In theory she only existed so Monarch could do the ambush, but she also got defeated offscreen. Let's not count this as a Chloé akuma so that she can keep her streak of incredibly good akumatizations going. Dark Humour has the problem that a) he has the worst Miraculous power and b) there's no certainty that making Ladybug and Chat Noir jerks will make them easy pickings. Hell, Chat was already ready to catacylsm Dark Humour, and he might have still found it funny after getting hit.

F Tier

Ryukomuri

This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if I need an even worse tier. Ryukomuri is literally incapable of acquiring the Miraculous. Oh, and Monarch's choice of akuma object could have been fatal to Kagami, which would have immediately turned Tomoe Tsurugi against him. At which point she would murder him and Monarch would inexplicably become a woman. Just a full round of WTFs here, since the outcome for Gabriel is that Kagami turns back and he gets no Miraculous, or Kagami dies and Tomoe kills him. And if he somehow manages to avoid Tomoe's wrath, Felix might do it a few days later anyway.

The overall meta-analysis is that I think over time, Gabriel produces better akumas. Not all of them are hits, but there does seem to be a general progression away from poor-quality combat akumas, and an increasing emphasis on nasty tricks and unusual tactics. This all converges in the Perfect Alliance, which combines mind control and mass akumatization to an almost crushingly effective degree.

If only he'd put all that effort into being a better person!

What is white terror?

😬😬😬😬 Oof I'm not the most qualified to talk about it but i’ll give you a summary: after Robespierre's fall, the bloodshed didn't end as it's commonly thought, it just turned against the sans-culottes and jacobins.

First of all, the few days after Robespierre's death, his supporters where arrested and guillotined en masse. The law of suspects and the law of prairial were repealed and most of the suspects were released from prisons. The moderate deputies that had been expelled returned to the national convention. The montagnards responsible for thermidor scapegoated the robespierrists for their own excesses while pretending being moderates all along, but most of them got purged with all the mountain anyway (they were guillotined or exiled —some justifiably so, others just for being radicals)

So, this renovated thermidorian convention dismantled the price controls on food and necessities put in place by the montagnard convention, which caused an economic collapse as France suffered the worst winter of the decade. People were dying of hunger in the streets while the rich went back to ancien regime levels of decadence. Meanwhile a bunch of vengeful rich and noble young men started to assemble into what might be the original far-right militia: the gilded youth (la jeneusse doree). They went around beating up and assaulting jacobin men and women. They murdered, lynched, massacred jacobin prisoners, etc etc, etc.

So yeah, the white terror was really bad and if I remember correctly some historians think it was comparable in number of deaths to the jacobin terror but it's hard to make an estimate. You don't hear much about it because it's a lot easier to pretend that as soon as tyrant Robespierre and his Pesky Jacobins were gone, everything was alright :))))) but you see what actually happened: misery upon the lower classes

It’s oversimplified and it’s missing a lot of context and details, but hope that helps!

#It's not very detailed bc I don't read much about anything post thermidor idk it's just bleak shit #frev

for @everarddelanden​

Few blood drinkers remained together. The dissolution of the great covens had scattered them like ash on the winds. Riccardo could not pretend that he didn’t miss it, no matter how much he had craved the mortal world, and all its colours, he felt the longing for company run as deep as the vital blood he had stolen now ran in the thin, viscous tributaries of his veins. Perhaps it was that longing that made him reckless. He knew Siena had been claimed, that great, lush tracts of Tuscany were now presided over by a powerful vampire who carried the blood of one of the very old ones. As he entered the great city, surrounded on all sides by the great medieval spires that encircled it, he knew in part that he was inviting danger. His appearance could be perceived as a challenge, or else, a feckless blunder, either of which could be easily corrected by this de Landen the moment he sensed him. But Riccardo had abandoned caution years ago. He sought out the church of San Domenico, where he knew the Maestà would be. Duccio’s gold draped, long-nosed angels presided in flocks, burning above the alter in a style that predated even the oldest of the Masters he had known. 

Riccardo’s hazel-flecked gaze swept over the painted predella, upon which Christ perched in the Virgin’s arms, his imperious, impish gaze boring into Riccardo beneath them. The young vampire looked, for all intents and purposes, like any artist’s apprentice. There was charcoal and rosy chalk around the cuffs of his shirt, and his cravat was tied loosely at his throat, allowing the collar to softly wilt. He had donned a dark coat, and forgone the gentleman’s culottes for riding trousers. He was a vaguely disheveled creature, only the glinting old rings on his fingers and the dignified posture betrayed his true nature. He sensed more than heard the approach of another immortal. The mind was cold, but closed, and though Riccardo felt their presence in the quiet dark of the night outside the church, he didn’t turn his head at yet.

“I wanted to see it,” he said, softly, simply, his caramel rich voice thin on the air with all the gentle lilt of youth. He turned his head just so, tight curls slipping out from behind his ears as he did so, his eyes slow to move away from the luminous painting above the alter, seen only in the flickering light of the devotional candles. “I knew that you would come. They warned me about you,” Riccardo explained, his gaze fixing first on the shadow of the vampire, and then on the vampire himself as he seemed to all but melt from the shadow and pass into the white, pale glow of the moon. He lingered just beyond the open door, eyes glinting with a menacing keenness. He was an elegant looking man, as so many of the old ones seemed to simply become grace. Riccardo beheld him, admired him, for the barest moment before he gestured toward the triptych. “The choirs of angels, how indifferent, and yet, worshipful they seem,” he observed, the faintest smile touching his lips, pressing a small dimple into one bronzed cheek. “Have you come to kill me? I want to look a little while longer, if you don’t mind. There is another by Duccio that I know of in Florence, but this one is more beautiful.” Riccardo spoke politely, almost deferentially. It was an instinct, built into him as a rib or a femur.
