probably not an extraordinarily hot take lmao but i like frev media that doesn’t emphasize saint justs uhhh dangerous pretty boy twinkatron 500 characterization lots of popular frev media like to go abt doing like the 1989 movie lol, it sort of intentionally or not seeps into ig “fanon” portrayals of him in some posts… and this is coming from a person who loves the canon pretty boy in les mis. la terreur et la vertu is probably my favorite frev movie partially bc saint justs actor is still pretty good looking by all means but his other personality traits and characteristics are put to the forefront and that makes him way more interesting to explore. they should do that more
TRUE!!!

Controversial Frev Opinion: I feel nothing on the Girondins. Since I see mass media appreciate the Girondins while criticize everything bad on the Mountain, I feel bad about that. Many on the Internet says the Girondins are mild and great, and I cannot fully get that.
While I disagree with the way that they were suppressed in the end, I agree that people give the Girondins too much credit. Their warmongering stance, which ended up crippling the Republic, is terribly overlooked.
