Facts about Lafayette that prove he’s a legend
First of all, his full name is: Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de La Fayette
Bro was LOADED! He was the richest orphan in France. Pretty much all his relatives died, leaving him with 120,000 livres as an income.
In 1777 Lafayette asked Loui XVI if he could go fight for freedom in America, the king said no but Lafayette went anyway, he was 19 at the time! He had to leave the country illegally the some accounts say that he dressed as a pregnant woman to do so. (But this could just be a rumour)
He was shot in the leg during battle (still in 1777) and didn’t notice until AFTER the battle! Washington has to forcibly send him home, but he did this with orders for the doctor to ‘treat him like a (Washington’s) son’.
After the Battle of Monmouth Laf sat with George Washington under a tree and the two fell asleep.
He named his only son after George Washington.
Lafayette gifted young John Quincy Adams an Alligator. This is the reason there has been an alligator in the White House bathroom. It had been given to Lafayette by an admirer and he gifted it on since he couldn’t take it to France with him.
He was nicknamed ‘The Hero Of Two Worlds’ because he fought for American and French freedom.

Soooo for Laurette (Laurens/Lafayette) shippers out there, have you noticed that Lafayette and Laurens look at each other intensely while holding hands at this passage? Your welcome for thoses who didnt know.  (And i still feel sad that during the Laurens’s interlude we dont see anymore Mulligan and Lafayette reactions, in the workshop Lafayette falls to his knees crying 🥺)

Is it just me or does the age difference between George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette kind of disturb me when I think of their relationship? Like, they were very close, and most likely in a father-son sort, but I’ve also read some of their letters that seem…romantically aligned?
He was 45 I believe when Alexander Hamilton was 20, and Lafayette was just a few months younger than him.
That is like, a 25 year age difference. I get that that was pretty normal back then, but with today’s society I can’t shake it off.
Not that it really matters much since they’re all dead :)

Thank God Laffy Taffy introduced himself as "Lafayette" in "Aaron Burr, sir". Because imagine how tf would be if he said his full name like the others.
Lafayette: Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette!!
Laurens:
Mulligan:
Burr:
Hamilton:
The whole bar:
Lafayette: ... The Lancelot of... the revolutionary set...?
Mulligan: Is it my turn now or what?

Lafayette, probably: you treat an outside wound with rubbing alcohol and you treat an inside wound with drinking alcohol. It's simple science!

At this point, if Lafayette is whispering to her “do you want a ménage à trois ?” I wont be surprise.  I mean, look at her face :

If it’s not a face who’s screaming “YES I DO”, I dont know anymore.

During his venture into diplomacy, Lafayette declared, he had been guided chiefly by a single principle: he acted as he thought Washington wished him to act. 'I hope you will approve my conduct,' he wrote his 'adopted father,' 'and in every thing I do I first consider what your opinion would be had I an opportunity to consult it.' That rule of conduct had even become part of his family's code. Informing the revered leader that he hoped 'in the course of some months your God son will have a brother,' he added, 'My little family....are taught before all to revere and to love General Washington.'

Can I tag anything relating to Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette (pasted from wiki💀) as miraculous ladybug because he technically is a canonical character in the show (same with Joan of arc)
