Uhh obligatory introduction post incoming-
Hello, I'm Em (19, he/any), I made this blog so that I can live out my historical hyperfixations on here instead of torturing my poor friends and family.
I'll post mostly art of:
- napoleonic era figures
- (historical) original characters being homoerotic
- old-timey surgeons covered in blood
- age of sail
- anything else that gets stuck in my brain and starts rotting there
Please talk to me, I promise I want to socialize and make new friends I just suck at it lol
(English isn't my first language, but I'll give it my best)
Should I draw Masséna in this
The real reason why napoleon cut his hair (trust me bro I was there)
I had a vision
guysss where is the napoleonic confessions blog???
I was finally excited to have an actual active account to repost the absolute madness on there, and now it's just gone??
Sketch dump before my personal waterloo (my final exams)
Ach Jomini
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
