I have nothing to say for myself with this one

Benjamin Bathurst

(admin note: even if you don't vote for him, his mysterious disappearance is a fun rabbit hole)

Propaganda: “have you SEEN him? glorious regency-dandy perfection -- that hair, that nose, those lusciously thick sideburns! he was a spy as well, and we all know that spies are magnificently fuckable… and also he disappeared mysteriously, leaving behind only a fur coat and an exciting legend! what's sexier than that!!”

Napoleon I

Propaganda:

a. “It’s the Napoleonic wars! He’s the main guy here!” b. “Everything. Just, everything.” c. “He has something wrong with him (affectionate)” d. “I don’t know how to write propaganda, so I’ll just say this: Napoleon was a cutie, a world soul, a revolutionary emperor, and a great social and legal reformer. On the subject of physical appearance and attractiveness: He could pull off any look. Whether he was wearing a general’s uniform while riding a galloping white horse or wearing a laurel wreath in the Notre-Dame Cathedral or cuddling up in a large grey coat, he was cute af. He was a short king (above average height for the time). People fainted in his presence (I’m not even kidding, this did actually happen). He went so hard they declared war on him. And that’s pretty neat. He had beautiful hands. For some reason, there are multiple sources commenting on how pretty and gorgeous his hands were. And that’s a weird but cool trait to have. He was beautiful. His eyes were very pretty. Described as both crystal-like and fiery during different instances. His smile (which you can’t really see in any painting) was supposed to be one of his most charming features. His voice was described as “musical and deep” (from the diary of Bertie Greatheed). Personally, I think he looks like a fluffy panda or a baby seal. As a person, he was a very sweet, affectionate and unusually forgiving (maybe even naively so). He was also a funny and witty person. He enjoyed telling ghost stories, singing along to opera (badly), reading reports (for fun), taking baths, gossiping with his wife, and going to the library.”

Azula: “My enemies are many, my equals are none.

In the shade of continental walls, they said Ba Sing Se could never be conquered.

In the land of knowledge and desert, they said the Sand Bending tribes of the Si Wong could never be humbled.

In the realm of ice and snow, they said the Water Tribes could never be tamed

Now they say nothing. They fear me like a force of nature, a dealer in thunder and death.

I say, I am Azula. I am empress!”

Burn it—

Katara: Azula! Stop talking to yourself while skinning the fish and get back inside. The tiger seal stew is getting cold! And the Kids are getting hungry!

Azula: … Yes dear!

Azula gives one more wry grin before turning and heading back to their Igloo. “Well” she though while walking “perhaps their is someone who is an equal to me”.

Continuing to grin, Azula headed back in the direction of her home. Where her wife and children impatiently waited for supper.

What’s the matter babe? You’ve barely used your Napoleon chamber pot

Jerome Bonaparte.

The youngest of the four Bonaparte brothers and also the only sibling living to see the Second Empire. (Not that he was very fond of Napoleon III.)

And this apparently despite a lead bullet lodged in his sternum from a duel with Davout's brother. A duel fought over a woman. When Jerome was 15 years old.

Mostly known for his extravagance and expensive taste. And - that's why I love him best: for being completely undeterred by big brother's obligatory sermons.

Also much more intelligent than people give him credit for: Like it or not, Naps, but Jerome did not go to Moscow...

Details from La journée de 18 Brumaire an VIII by Jean Duplessis Bertaux. There are two scenes, worth looking at (links below). This printer lived through l'ancien régime, the Directoire, Consulate, Empire and Restoration. He has a series about the Revolution. Just go to commons.wikimedia.org and search for his name.

What are the most and least flattering physical descriptions of Marmont?

Hey!

Thanks alot for the question....now physical descriptions of Marmont are very few/nonexistent. So finding any description was difficult but the one I did find was mostly positive!

Together with two other generals, he defends Napoleon's retreat all the way to Paris. In March 1814, he offered a tough resistance in the very suburbs of Paris. Here is how Sainte-Beuve evokes him in the skirmish near Belleville at the head of the remnants of the former Grand Army: »And finally, let's show him in this last venture when we saw him at the head of a group of about sixty men repulsing the Russian column. Let's remember that his right hand was weak since the battle of Arapilès, that the thumb and forefinger of his left hand were crushed at Leipzig. That's how he looked on his feet, because the horse under him was hit once again (the fifth horse since the start of the battle). He always went into battle standing tall, with his head held high, his chest/breasts and heart proudly protruding. Let's add to that his warrior demeanor and his unique uniform: a tailcoat without laces, a hat with white feathers, always white trousers and sturdy high riding boots. We saw him like this on the way back to Paris, covered in dust, still trembling from the excitement of the battle. And he was only forty years old at that time.<<<

After 1812. he had his right hand always in a sling and was extremely wounded on his right side (he was hit by a cannonball 😢)

Here are some of the only full body photos of this asshole 😭

Any story set in the Regency Period can be improved with the addition of guillotines.

I know it’s not quite time for the third bracket yet but seeing how it has tsar Alexander I vs the formidable Thomas Alexandre Dumas I think we should let Sasha use all the advantage he can get (probably not enough to stay in the tournament but maybe to not be quite so thoroughly outvoted, he has a sensitive heart guys, please)

So if you take suggestions, I propose one of the following portraits to be used in the poll, as it is in my opinion some of the best impressions we have of his younger years:

His early baldness was tragic but I think we should let him ride this one out in all his femboy glory. As a treat.

We will take your request.

Though I've avoided that portrait because I truly sincerely think he looks like a cockatoo
