“How many tears I saw him shed over the violence of the revolutionary government and over the prolongation of a dreadful regime, which he only aspired to temper with institutions.”

Once, when scrolling through the frev tag I saw a letter posted by @orpheusmori (if memory serves correctly) that was written by a friend of Saint Just. It’s lived in my mind for quite some time, and the final line is one that can really put my mind in a chokehold.

So, as a result.. I had to draw this. Why is it that I always draw when I need to be sleeping…

#it is 5:30 am at present #I need to be asleep.#but no instead I’m drawing sad artwork about dead French men.#I am tired and so is my art tablet.#frev #french revolution #claws out for the main 5 #louis antoine saint just #saint just #I always get struck by how people who knew him personally describe him #to quote a text to my friend….#thermidorians: he was a heartless cold emotionless monster who killed people especially if he didnt like them!!#people who actually interacted with the guy especially outside of work: are we.. are we talking about the same guy??#whAt KiNd Of SpIkEd FrUiT pUnCh ARe YoU oN????#if you get the fruit punch reference you have been here for a while.
