For all the obsessive Napoleonic Marshals fans, from the Dictionary of Surnames:

Make of that what you will.

Post-Austerlitz Complaints and Recriminations

(aka Imperial Alert: The girls are fightingggg)

"After Austerlitz, as after Ulm, there was a rich crop of mutual complaints and recriminations among the Marshals. A bitter feud between Bernadotte and Davout was developing and there were respective rows between Lannes and Soult, Soult and Davout, and Murat and Lannes. To crown everything Lannes to offense at the Emperor's bulletin which he felt, gave insufficient credit to the work done by Lannes' corps, and took himself off on a prolonged, self-awarded leave. It is significant that while Napoleon was swift to punish dereliction of duty by his Marshals in future years, he let this peccadillo pass."

(Humble, Richard. Napoleon’s Peninsular Marshals. 1975.)

Catel & Farcy 1960s Napoleon Playing Cards

♣️: Napoleon and Josephine

♠️: Soult and (I presume?) his wife Louise

♥️: Lannes and Pauline

♦️: Murat and Caroline

All of the Jacks/Valets are just soldiers, not specific people; all of the numbered cards and aces are regular cards.

“I have you at last!”

(how the Iron Duke met marshal Soult)

The Iron Duke was seen by his bemused guests to tiptoe the full length of his drawing room, a silk handkerchief held across his face, and steal up behind a figure in a plain blue coat topped by a untidy mane of grey hair who was lounging abstractedly by one of the fireplaces; there was a hush in the conversation as the sprightly old Duke pounced on the stranger, pinioned him round the shoulders and let forth a deafening cry of ‘View Halloo! I’ve got him, by damme; I’ve found you at last, Marshal Soult!’

I hope this meme wasn’t done already😅.

Marshal Soult

My OC, Joaquín, is beginning his apprenticeship under Goya… and expressing his feelings on Soult in the process, hehe. Definitely not Goya’s caricatures, but the boy is just starting out and needs to learn a lot.

( @amypihcs , @josefavomjaaga , @that-enragee )

Just don’t tell him that Goya is watching. This old artist isn’t frowning for a change though, so maybe it’s a good sign!

While trying to suss out what the difference between "baguette" and "baton" in French is (both words refer to stick-like objects).

Because long bread, chopsticks, and magic wands are all baguettes.

But the Marshals of the Empire get batons.

My current conclusion is "a baton must be something you can beat someone on the head with, without it breaking."

Which reminded me of a shitpost I don't think I ever got around to drawing.

I think it was @usergreenpixel who suggested Ney bonking Soult with a marshal's baton.

This fussing over baguette vs baton was set off my BDFugue having Baguettes manga
