Was Out Jogging And Almost Shat Myself Seeing This

Forgot to post this, but I recently remembered one of the monuments erected 1899 to commemorate the two battles of Zürich

there's a poem on the back, thought I'd give an English translation

How our town suffered a hundred years ago, When the stranger fought with the stranger, When bullets rang through the silent forest, The columns of fire smoked, Flags waved, The father tells the son and he then admonishes the grandson: Boy become a man! Even if those old wounds healed, Don't forget how our mothers suffered; The enemy's army devoured the children's bread, The misery was great, immense was the hardship! If the city is never to experience such suffering, The coming generation must rally: Keep watch and hold the defense, To protect Swiss borders, Swiss honour!

Even though the city itself remained pretty much unharmed, the poem makes reference to the uh- abundantly-practiced act of looting that took place in order to feed the armies

Primadonna Soult Animatic

A complete satirical cesspool of history, myth, fandom, and possibly Marshal Soult.

I feel bad to bother by tagging, but just a quick thanks to @josefavomjaaga and @cadmusfly simply for making their Soult posts bc that’s where I got a very good chunk of inspiration & info to make this silly thing

Old doctors make me go insane

Has all the academically based napoleonic blogs disappeared, or is my tumblr algorithm jacked?

ALRIGHT introducing a few Napoleonic ocs from my 1789-1815 story. This is very old but Im trying to take out everything in my drafts bc it’s uh spring cleaning or smthg. Also each one is based off of a marshal in some way (either personality, looks, or plot-wise). Think of them as webtoon-ified marshals 💀

I put the marshal's name next to the oc's name

Napoleonic segment of story begins in 1806 at a border French town, where all these characters live at some point (except for the last two).

Also extra pic of St.Q bc he’s MY DESIGNATED FAVORITE BLORBO BRAINCHILD OF ALL STAR TIME 💫 💫 💫
