Completing My Previous Saint-Just Post...

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

I didn't link correctly the page on Saint-Just's portraits, it's actually a full dossier on an iconographical study of Saint-Just. It gets slightly unnerving when the author of the site starts speaking of Deviant Art and Fan Art. Fandom meets History. ^^; Apart from it, there's a nice section on souvenirs from the Bicentenaire, with these two medals I had never seen before:





Awesome, aren't they? What's interesting with the second one is that they made a series of those medals with French Revolution "couples" *coughs*: Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, Marat and Hébert, Danton and Desmoulins and Robespierre and Saint-Just. *re-coughs*

Also, I'm bringing your attention on The Saint-Just Action Figures Figurines and The Saint-Just Stamps. This one is very lovely:



Also, citoyennemiyuki, you made it on her website. Uh-huh.

Hm. I hope she'll never make a study of fanfiction.......

Finally, check her page on the engravings -- there are some rare finds in there! Particularly, this one from the Centenaire in 1889, which is really nice and this one in my icon that I FINALLY see in colour!!!


A second point to this post, I found the Communist Militants of Arras (that's so cute, btw), announcing the play "Thermidor" in two days. And there is a very lovely re-interpretation of a Thermidor painting:



Looks like Robespierre is even more crumbling. Nice to see someone else saw that the person holding him back ought to be Saint-Just.

...lol, I'm convinced they reused the same face for Saint-Just, Desmoulins and Louis on those medals. XD;

And I seriously want a Saint-Just action figure. :(

...I second the comment about fanfiction though... uh... (I wonder if this community will come to the attention of these people??)

...no they did not, silly. :P

Me too. XD;;

(That's also what I was starting to wonder. Um. The shock.)

Oh hey, I have one of those Saint-Just action figures!

[missweirdness.livejournal.com]

what i could do with a saint-just action figure...that would be totally awesome. The poster for the thermidor play is really nice. I don't know why i like it so much but i do. I'm so jealous.

XD

Nice medals too...i have no idea what to say about that..

Gah, the Communist Militants of Arras are adorable--they even quote Robespierre there! Aww. I wish I were in Arras right now. D:

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Me too, actually... >.>

Suddenly I didn't see this post....but I was surprised when I recognise my name in this postXD I don't know you thought of me at fanfictions....but I feel I have to make this situation clear, because some people think wrong about me...but I don't know why....
I don't plan to write any fanfiction, because I can't write, mostly in english. So, do not afrad of my writings. I don't wanna bother anybody with my stories. I don't deny I have stories....but I'm drawer, not author....
I have own opinion about revolution...if I want I will make story about revolutionaries....I have right of this... (I think), but I will not put any things about this to here.....
and I'm not angry, just I made myself clear....

(btw, I don't know why she choose my drawings, I haven't known her before.....I didn't ask her to put my arts)

It's a great site, but hasn't she (he?) included Ian Hamilton Finlay anywhere on her/his site? His art-garden 'Little Sparta' is surely the most amazing, obsessive and downright massive sculptural homage to Saint-Just on the planet? (something the BBC neglected to mention in a short feature on it a few months ago - when I posted that on revolution.fr I got an email from the BBC to say they weren't biased against revolutionaries! But they are. )

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Unsurprisingly. :/

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Hm, nope, I don't think she (I think it's a 'she'; she signed her Home Page with 'Louise Antoinette' -- erm.) put anything about him, no...

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Um... No... That's not what I meant, actually; I meant, MY fanfiction, because *I* write fanfiction. So I thought: 'Oh, if she can find fanart... she could find MY fanfiction'. That's what I meant. Sorry, that wasn't quite clear.

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Where did you get it? XD

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Yes, I oddly like the poster a lot too... :O

[citoyennemiyuki.livejournal.com]

then I misunderstand you a bit nowXD
(but rather I write my opnion about this on your page)
At least you got to know I will not bother anybody with my stories ^^;

[citoyennemiyuki.livejournal.com]

misunderstood, ahhhh >___>

[livviebway.livejournal.com]

Ebay.

[missweirdness.livejournal.com]

I'm jealous! I want a saint-just action figure. Would they make a Maxime action figure too? That would be splendid. XD and why not stop there? XD I could somehow get bad ideas about this...

[missweirdness.livejournal.com]

the poster is very sweet..^^ and a lot better then the other painting/thing it was based on.

I think anyhow..

[victoriavandal.livejournal.com]

Well, I have emailed her (with my bad french) and sent her some links, so maybe she will put something up!
