me & my opinions on the rev & napoleonic era!! since both of these era’s are quite fundamental to josephine/ the characters on my multimuse, i’ll try to explain how i see it!! warning: i have opinions

okay, so first of all, i don’t think either napoléon or maximilien robespierre were evil. robespierre was one of the most egalitarian figures of the revolution and saw the terror as a tool exclusive to the revolution. he actually made most of his enemies trying to put a leash on the more radical of the jacobins like fouché, collot d’herbois and others. quite a lot of the thermidorians belonged to this group of radicals. hell , the white terror (of which fouché was one of the main perpetrators) that accompanied the reinstitution of the french monarchy after napoléons fall from power made far more deaths than the actual terror! it is important to acknowledge that monarchy was a very real threat. unlike with the U.S. , there wasn’t an ocean separating france and the monarchist countries surrounding it. it’s easy to forget that the threat of invasion was always there, another of the factors contributing to the “reign of terror”. moreover, one does forget that robespierre wasn’t the leader of the revolution - but simply a member of it. he leaded the convention, yes, but for a brief time. lastly, as for danton and desmoulins, the most fervent of the dantonist historians have admitted that if the terror were to stop, there would be even more chaos.

under napoléon, the main threat was louis’ legacy that had antagonized the british & the fact that france’s leader was an upstart corsican with jacobin notions. NAPOLEON, IN FACT WAS A SUPPORTER OF ROBESPIERRE AND THOUGHT HE WAS THE SCAPEGOAT OF THE REVOLUTION. also augustin, max’ brother was gay for naps. i ship it tbh.

napoleon’s france wasn’t perfect, but it was decent. napoleon was a bit warlike, thanks to the ancients he loved so much (julius caesar, alexander the great ... ) but he certainly wasn’t responsible alone for the “napoleonic” wars. the name, imo, is quite unjust tbh.

he made some shitty decisions & certainly wasnt a saint, but a lot of them he was forced to make due to the constant pressure of the coalitions. even when countries like russia & britain were at peace with france, they continued to plot against napoleon. the comparison of hitler with napoleon is in that regard quite unjust as well - bonaparte granted the jewish community more rights. ian kershaw, one of the most eminent hitler biographers confirms this as well.

dumb jokes with josephine’s valet carrat as victim , as recorded by louis constant wairy , naps valet :

SO josie used to walk a lot on the outside road @ malmaison & one day she told carrat to go w her and he was like SUPER honored but then , according to constant “ he saw rise suddenly out of a ditch , a great figure covered with a white sheet ” and ofc josephine had told one of her other servants to be sitting there. the comedy succeeded and poor carrat was lit clutching her. carrat: “ madame , madame , do you see that ghost ? it is the spirit of the lady who died lately at plombieres. ” josephine : “ be quiet carrat , you are a coward. ” carrat : “ aaa , but it is indeed her spirit which has come back !!! ” then , the white sheet advanced & poor carrat LIT FAINTED

there’s also another story , in which the ladies of malmaison plotted to “ baptize ” carrat. SO the poor dude slept in a room w a closet & there was a hole in the wall , in which they put a string and at the end a can of water , exactly ABOVE the head of his bed. this wasnt the only thing , they also removed the slats of his bed & carrat had the habit of sleeping w/o a light, sO he didnt see any of those things. SOO josie , her daughter hortense ( the chief conspirator ) and the rest of the malmaison gurls were hiding in the closet while carrat threw himself on bed , it crashed in and he promptly got showered. carrat began to yell super loudly “ THIS IS HORRIBLE !!!! ” while hortense maliciously & loud enough , said to her mom & the rest of the malmaison squad “ oh maman , those toads and frogs in the water will get on him. ” needless to say , this only added to poor carrat’s panic & he yelled in the dark “ it is horrible , madame, it is horrible , to amuse yourself thus at the expense of your servants !!! ”
