A French Blue Silk Habit de Ville Complete Frock Coat - Napoleonic Period, 1805
Provenance from the Mallet-Oberkampf family, Protestant ruling elites and close to Emperor Napoleon I, who awarded the Legion of Honour to Oberkampf in 1806. This ensemble by its quality materializes the technological advances of the industry at the service of the Fashion of the Empire, advocated by the famous fashion merchant of the empress, Louis Hippolyte Leroy.

I’m not sure exactly how to articulate it but—there is this bizarre base assumption i see from people discoursing about children’s media, and that’s the assumption that children are somehow unfamiliar with negative emotions. Like, maybe you’ve managed to completely forget your entire life before you turned eighteen, but kids spend a lot of time being hurt, and scared, and angry. A lot of people had terrible fucking childhoods, and a lot of kids are having terrible fucking childhoods right now. When i was a child, and i read books where bad things happened to kids, that was in no way shocking to me, i already knew bad things happened to children. It made me feel more connected to those stories, not less, and it made it more impactful when those child characters overcame it all in the end. That’s important for children. A lot of them are in desperate need of a little hope, and they aren’t going to get it from nothing stories with no conflict. They put conflict in children’s media for a reason
Also i see some of you handwringing over child protagonists going through, like, the most basic hero’s journey. Please, for the love of god, realize that you as an adult are going to understand children’s media differently than the actual kids it’s intended for. Because you’re all grown up now, you aren’t going to be able to relate to a child protagonist. You’re going to see a child in danger. The children the story is meant for are going to see a kid like them who is able to face hardship and triumph

I'm losing my mind over this (from the filming of TOS episode "The Naked Time"):
"The Half-Naked Crazy George Takei Time" indeed!

Ive decided to edit the finished paintings of a triology together because its something different to see them together then strewn over my chaotic Page XD first one will be the Murat one because its the most recently finished one. Concept was to depict napoleonic personalities in 3 different stages: Military, civil life and their end. I most likely post the other compilations of lannes and junot over the next days because i still need one to finish ney and 2 for davout

Nicknames of Marshals and Generals in Napoléon’s Grande Armée
Many of these nicknames compare the general or marshal to a legendary hero, historical or mythical, from France or from the Antiquity. You can find, for example:
Alceste Soldat, given to MacDonald, for his moral virtues
Nestor des Armées, to Kellermann, the oldest Marshal
Fabius, to Moncey
Roland de l’Armée d’Italie, Achille de la Grande Armée, to Lannes
Bayard de l’Armée Française, Bayard Moderne, to Oudinot (for his bravery)
Bayard Polonais, given to Poniatowski (Polish Bayard)
Some of the nicknames are flattering, such as the previously mentioned, to which we can add:
Enfant Chéri de la Victoire - Beloved Son of Victory, for Masséna
L’Infatigable, “The Tireless”, for Ney
Le Sultan Juste “Fair Sultan”, for Desaix
Le Sultan de Feu, “Fire Sultan“, for Friant
La Vierge d’Italie “Italian Virgin”, to Serurier (very virtuous behaviour in the Italian campaign)
Le Mouton-Lion, to Mouton (whose name means “sheep” in French, and about whom Napoleon said: My Mouton is a Lion!)
L’Intrépide, to Rapp
Some are unflattering:
Le Brigand, to Augereau (for looting)
Monsieur de Culfier “Lord Proudass”, to Marmont
Le Roi Nicolas “King Nicolas”, to Soult, who might have hoped for a throne in Spain or Portugal
Le Boucher de la Grande Armée, “Butcher of the Grande Armée”, to Thiébault, who did not take great care of his men’s lives
Bernadotte was known as Sergent Belle Jambe, “Sergent Nice Leg”, and also as “Le Gascon”.
Gouvion Saint-Cyr was a strange character. His men did not like him much. He was nicknamed Le Hibou (The Owl), L’Homme de Glace (Ice Man), Le Mauvais Coucheur (Awkward Customer, Unpleasant Fellow).
Murat was called “King Franconi” for his extravagant attire (in reference to the most famous circus of the time). It didn’t bother him at all.
Ney was, for his red hair and bravery, The Red, Michel the Red, The Red Lion, the Bravest of the Brave, The Hero of the Retreat.
Davout, the Iron Marshal, was also known as The Beast.
Oudinot, the most frequently wounded marshal, was also “Marshal 35 wounds”.
Duroc was “The Emperor’s Shadow”.
Lasalle, often known as the Hussar General, was also nicknamed El Picaro in Spain. He’s been refered to as “Le Plus Grand Chauffeur d’Enthousiasme de l’Histoire”, which is a bit difficult to translate, maybe “History’s Biggest Enthusiasm Booster”.
Fournier-Sarlovèze, who was a friend of Lasalle’s, became El Demonio.
Caulaincourt, in charge of getting the Emperor’s headquarters ready, became “Caulain qui court” (Caulain who runs), a word play on his name.
And finally, foreign generals weren’t unnoticed either. That’s how Russian general Bagration became The Russian Murat!

Reblogging this here from Murat's RP blog. Because oh my god.
RP Murat reacts to Hasegawa Murat:
....
Is that supposed to be me?
Oh my god, look at me!
My compliments to my artist! He's made me so handsome and perfect here! "A captive of your love"? Yes, that's me, really, what's so terrible about saying that?
I can look at myself all day! Tetsuya Hasegawa has captured my essence, the essence that is Murat! 😘
I respectfully disagree. The key to a healthy and balanced life is taking some time out for yourself, if you get my meaning. Like with anything else, it's better with friends!
I breathlessly await your next installment, Monsieur Hasegawa. You've given me quite the introduction into this tale of your illustrated epic!
