Just an idea, but what if Napoleon refused to call Charles XIV John by his regnal name?

So I was watching one of my favorite movies the other day, The Blues Brothers, and when Cab Calloway sang Minnie the Moocher, this part caught my attention:

She had a dream about the king of Sweden He gave her things, that she was needin' He gave her a home built of gold and steel A diamond car, with the platinum wheels He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses Each meal she ate was a dozen courses She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes She sat around and counted them all a million times

What if it was Bernadotte? After all, it was a dream that Minnie was having so it doesn't have to be historically accurate to the time. (If it's not him, it's one of his descendants though, unless she dreamed of pre-Bernadotte Sweden.) Idk why I thought that was funny.

BIG SUN to Release Debut Album “Rite De Passage” in June

Photo credit: Søren Schnoor We are Big Sun. We only serve ourselves, our order and the big sun.  The origin of Big Sun goes back to the beginning of the 19th century, and refers to a secret lodge founded by Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, also known as Karl Johan the 14th of Sweden, who before he ascended the throne of Sweden, was field marshal under Napoleon. After much internal strife, Jean…

#734: back in the day, there was a craze for tattoos among royals. allegedly, the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia was the most decorated, but it was a trend all over the world, with tattooed royals including Queen Olga of Greece, Prince Valdemar of Denmark, King Oscar of Sweden, King Edward VII of the UK and his son George V. the funniest example of this craze involved a random Scandinavian (a randy scandy, if you will) called Jean Baptiste Jules de Bernadotte, who was a revolutionary alongside Napoleon as a Marshal of the republic empire. he somehow ended up as king of Sweden and Norway and during this time he never let anyone see his naked torso. upon his death, they discovered (after him being king for 24 years) that he had a tattoo saying "death to all kings". an aside: Valdemar has nothing to do with Voldemort. the latter comes from french meaning "theft of death".

[elisabeth515]

So as @histoireettralala had asked, I shall add some headcanons for more marshals UwU

Gouvion Saint-Cyr is full on theatre mode; he’s going to perform in a nursing home this Christmas. Oh yes, he offers drawing classes in community centres as well. Everyone is just astonished at this side of le Hibou🦉

Meanwhile, you can see a MacDonald having a great family dinner with his kids. He is having a very wholesome Christmas, despite all the quarantine and stuff. By the way, he is in need of a mother for his children

Bernadotte, too weak to stand with the cold in Sweden, decided to be a burrito and watch Christmas movies with his best bro Magnus Brahe. ((Gosh, he really just left Désirée on her own to take care of their little Oscar-

Masséna, seeing the prices of the stuff goes down, decided to have a massive shopping trip for Christmas. He even made a bet with Augereau on this.

As for Augereau, he decided to give away the gifts he “looted” to the Grand Armée. Well, a gangstar needs to be generous OwO

What about some older marshals like Lebfevre? Well, he has been having a lot of wholesome moments with his wife and they volunteered to knit scarfs for the people in need.

Well, it should not be surprising that Poniatowski has been attending Murat and Caroline’s glittery parties in Christmas.

Alright, that’s all I can think of, have a happy holiday!

Modern AU!Marshalate - Christmas headcanons.

Some random ideas:

Ney secretly loves the hideous Christmas sweater Aglaé once gave him as a gag gift (what - it’s comfy!).

Lannes pays random, unannounced visits to his friends on Christmas, dutifully followed by his kids, all of them wearing Santa hats.

Murat and Caroline have the most awesome, glittery parties you can imagine.

Never ask anything of Soult the two weeks before Christmas. Soult isn’t available. He’s BAKING. He’s baking for the whole Grande Armée. It’s never enough.

Berthier somehow always gets burdened with organizing things for Napoleon at the last moment.

Bessières probably volunteers in homeless shelters. Where he often ends up finding Larrey.

Please send me your thoughts and headcanons! <33

I sleep on coffee shop AU, but something something Ikea

[lavenderrosiefan]

George: Come on, you need to go to bed.

Charles John: Mr. Snuffles says that I can stay up as long as I want, and that you need to die!

George: ...What the hell, Mr. Snuffles?

[isa-ko]

Almost finished with all the marshals!!

[elisabeth515]

@storja-historja I know you would reblog this becaus 🅱️erna🅱️rahe

Oh lord I need an English version of this book to satisfy my thirst on my Napoleonic BroTP besides Napoleon and Lannes

I've been gone for quite a while, haven't I? Well, check out this book I found at our library, and it's about Bernadotte! (Karl Johan, king of Sweden after Gustav IV. The so called "French king" cuz he was adopted from France haha)

It's a comic book telling the story about how Bernadotte ended up as the Swedish royal family! If you're interested in Swedish history, and even if you're not, you should check it out. The art is really cool.

Here's an example:

Shabbat 111

On Shabbat, don't use oils of rose On your wounds, only princes use those. "Au contraire, mon ami. Nous sommes tous des princes, oui?" Said Rav Shimon. (He's French, I suppose).

I'm not a Francophone, so I hope Google Translate didn't do me dirty. Can any of my followers who know French verify this as a good translation?

10!

Here’s my list of marshals that I never expected to like so much:

Bernadotte. I just like bullying him alright lol

This evil mushroom deserves to be bullied appreciated although as a marshal, he did not really do much to the empire. But somehow, to an extent we (as being stuck in the Anglosphere) have overlooked quite a lot of his achievements—like popularising edible mushrooms in Sweden, also him being a good administrator. Surely, he is to be eclipsed by other more famous Swedish monarchs like King Queen Christina, Karl XII (aka. Carolus Rex) and Gustav II Adolph (aka. Gustavs Adolphus), but still a very interesting figure to Scandinavian history.

Augereau.

Let’s talk about the Gangstar a bit, shall we? Honestly, he just shown up unexpectedly one day. Like, he’s just so much like a gangsta that makes Giorno’s Theme super suitable for him (except Giorno doesn’t loot). I found him a very cool person with that “bad boy” personality and not going to lie here, he is underrated in our very humble Napoleonic marshalate fandom.

Masséna

If Augereau is here, Masséna’s gonna be here as well. I really never expected to like him so much, like, he’s so much like your unruly little brother who messes around—pretty much ngl. There were a lot of things that made him an interesting, such as his upbringings and a certain hunting misadventure with Napoleon. Also he’s the ravioli lord so yeah

MacDonald

By the way it’s going to be his birthday soon OwO

Speaking of MacDonald, I think he is in the “underrated af” category like Gouvion Saint-Cyr and Grouchy. He was one interesting guy to talk about, such as his Scottish roots, also having some “what-ifs” like Saint-Cyr. Our MacMarshal was pretty much in disgrace because he stood up for General Moreau and this somehow has weaken his ability as a field commander. But still, he had some really cool things like how he barely escaped from the very river that drowned fellow marshal Poniatowski.

Davout

This is DavoutKitty, our favourite marshal kitty who was savage af

The last boi on my list is not anyone else but our “Iron Marshal” Louis-Nicolas Davout. He’s a bit edgy but he deserves so much love from our fandom, not just because he was recognised as one of the best French commanders in the Napoleonic Wars, also how #savage he is.

Thanks for your ask!
