Jacobin club meeting

Guys you wont believe who my favourite revolutionaries are!

As a longtime summer disliker im preparing for the heatwave with this snowy piece. Also its teeny tiny bit inspired by James Sants painting "courage, anxiety and despair" even tho it doesnt look like it. I accidentaly made SJ look like he froze up... I might draw another snowy one soon bc even tho the snow didnt come out much how id like, it was still fun to draw.

[officialjacobinpage24]

Rip Robespierre you would of had all Ai “artists” executed

[officialjacobinpage24]

Jefferson: (on the phone) Hello, Adams, have you heard the news?

Adams: (on the phone) I heard, I’m so afraid. I hope the children don’t get hurt.

Jefferson: (on the phone) Me too. We should try to do something, just in case he (Danton) comes back into one of our homes.

Adams: (on the phone) Yeah, like how I keep security cameras in our houses. We should also be careful of Maximilien Robespierre too. I heard he has throwing knives up his sleeves.

(Dramatic shock music plays)

Jefferson: (on the phone) Oh my god! I hope he doesn’t return to the school or else probably Hamilton, Lafayette, Laurens, or Madison might get killed.

Adams: (gets off of the phone and lays down on the couch) Why? I can’t believe that man (Robespierre) was one of my friends. This is bad. Now, what are we going to do?

(Guess what video this references, I bet the late 2000s/early 2010s gang will know this one lol)

who even cares…. i sure don’t

Yeah so some of these couples are jokes and only "ships" in the fandom way. But you're wrong if you believe there wasn't any kind of special relationship between Robespierre and Saint-Just, Carnot and Prieur, Barère and... a lot of men. Yes, Carnot and Barère were married. Carnot loved his wife. Barère had several female lovers. Prieur had a long-term relationship with an older woman (who was married to someone else). But um... Did you forget bisexuality exists? Or homoromanticism? Or are you just de facto implying those aren't "real"? Have you internalized that they aren't real maybe? Because trust me some men love other men as much as women, as much as their wife, maybe more than their wife. David loved Drouais more than his wife - and no it wasn't "fatherly love". It was a teacher's/mentor's love with all of the ambiguity this involves when you remember they were artists and what the subjects they preferred to paint were. This culture offered a convenient pretext where you could blur the lines. And no, you'll likely never know the truth. You'll never know if they fucked other men, or how, or what positions they preferred, or if David actually fathered his own children. And honestly it's kinda creepy to take it beyond mere speculation and actually really want to know that far as if it was a fact you were owed to? You don't need to know those details. You can just know when there's obviously a loving relationship going on. That's just as true for living breathing beings you know btw. You'll never really know what kind of loving relationship they have unless they choose to tell you... or someone forcibly outs them, which is gross.

Maybe we should be happy they had the chance to live in a brief period where all loving relationships between men weren't automatically seen as "scandalous" and "depraved", that men were allowed to love each other without it being always perceived as "suspicious" and "illicit".

Barère's thoughts about Saint-Just aren't creepy because they're about another man - they're creepy because he clearly sounds jealous of Robespierre and, you know, the whole Thermidor thing and all the nasty things he said about both. But it's actually quite special that we get to read his obviously non-straight non-normative thoughts so openly. It's not "subtext" or our "fevered deranged imagination". It's just there. Your denial isn't my problem to deal with.

I LOVE this artstyle. I also love the art itself.

The late 2000s/early 2010s, such a great time sometimes.

Also, the last piece of art’s my favorite.

Here's my old frev art I did in 2009-2010

So much memories.

[officialjacobinpage24]

Can you please have some wholesome/cute Robeston/Danspierre? 🥺

Yeah of course! I imagine Robs to be oddly touchy as long as he’s initiating it. He doesn’t necessarily like being touched but he’d casually climb into Dantons lap for a nap or smth. Or even just for somewhere to sit. I can imagine it’d be pretty comfy.

[officialjacobinpage24]

Voltaire can't claim to be s republican when he literally sucked a king's dick. Citizen royal bedfellow over here. Sir, you were literally inside a tyrant

[officialjacobinpage24]

I would love Couthons bunnies attacking Napoleon please god

My wonderful king Georges Couthon PLEASE strike down Napoleon with your pet rabbits

[officialjacobinpage24]

This is the offspring of Robeston, it had to be said.

I said this because I’m watching a video about him lol.

Unleashing art of this ship like a plague upon the frev fandom
