People who don't read historical RPF will never know the joys and delights of reading through 3+ Wiki pages, 5 JSTOR articles and looking at at least 2 separate family tree diagrams to determine just how problematic their ship is

Did some corner of this hellsite do a fic-a-thon in honor of the Ides of March?? Is that why Historical RPF was the fastest growing fandom on AO3 last week??
....because that tracks 100%. Idk why I'm even the least bit surprised.

To get the taste of Napoleon (2023) out of my mouth I was looking at the novelisation of Waterloo (1970) on the Internet Archive (which you can borrow for one hour at a time)
And Marshal Ney is
Written like he had a bad breakup with Napoleon
And is returning to a toxic relationship
Ney just can’t stay away
And he just keeps taking it
Also Napoleon used to be an adventurer like you

Title.
Urgh, how do people normally start this... Fancy greetings? Right, right. Hm...
Afternoon. (That was not fancy at all.)
This is Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout writing. Or...well, typing.
I've decided to finally excuse myself from my moping session solitude and venture into unknown territory that is this strange platform. (Which I have been...observing from a distance.)
Seeing as my late colleagues have been up to some...shenanigans on this platform, I might as well find something to amuse myself with the ample time I'm given and do some...[*grimaces*]...socialising.
[*sigh*] I'm going to regret this...
So, to whoever may see this and care; you are free to send me your questions, letters, and queries regarding whichever subject you wish. I will be reading through and answering them accordingly when I am not busy tending to domestic matters around the painfully quiet estate.
However, do be mindful of the things you send. Respect goes both ways and I do not like to squabble. Unless it's against certain bastards.
Unsavoury comments regarding my hair will swiftly be ignored and used as fuel for the fireplace.
...Don't expect me to initiate interactions much. Sorry.
Regards,
L Davout.
!! This is a joke RP account run by @mbenguin, a guy who is in no way shape or form a bona fide historian-- just really enthusiastic about balding dead nerds and French history! This is in no way meant to be accurate, analytical, or faithful 100% to reality despite being based on actual historical facts to a certain degree. This is a fictionalised parody that is meant to be in-character as possible to my interpretation of the man himself and I'm doing it for shits and giggles !!

I AM BACK!!!!!
With 17 poems translated and a story written out of them too.
Here is 11k (poetry translation inclusive) on the Tang Dynasty poet, Li He (790 to 816), written for Yuletide 2023.
In the next couple of posts over this month, I will be trying a new way of presenting poems that I've only thought about but never ventured into. What I did for this fanfic project was what finally inspired me to go for it \o/ It's going to be fun and rambly, and I'm super looking forward to it.

𝐿𝑎 𝐺𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒 𝑑𝑢 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑒́𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑡
… Bonjour. This is Marshal-General Jean-de-Dieu Soult, though I do seem to be incarnated as I was when I served the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Do not ask about my allegiances.
My colleague Marshal Lannes has hosted some correspondence for me at @armagnac-army. I suspect I will primarily respond to queries through that channel, but this is another channel through which I may be contacted.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have paperwork to attend to. Any queries can be addressed to the “ask box”, and my aides-de-camp will redirect them to me - if they are not drunk again.
We're not drunk all the time! --ADC Saint-Chamans
Indeed, just most of the time! Greetings, dear reader, we are Marshal Soult's aides-de-camp. I am Alfred de Lameth, and in this medium I am accompanied by the indefatigable Alfred de Saint-Chamans, the sensible Louis Brun de Villeret, the observant Auguste Petiet and the botanical Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent. Our text will be marked in these colours, though the colours will vary if we are confined to, ah, "mobile". Do not be too intimidated by our marshal, and do send us inquiries! --ADC Lameth
—·—·—·—
Out Of Character
(( Hi! This is a joke RP ask blog run by @cadmusfly portraying the surly strategist Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult (wikipedia link), one of Napoleon's elite military commanders, and his quirky bunch of aides-de-camp!
Jean-de-Dieu Soult is mostly known for being a plunderer of priceless artworks and wanting to rule Portugal under the name "King Nicolas".
However, it's much more likely that he pressured monks into selling him those artworks for cheap while he was invading their country, and that he was trying to divide and conquer Portugal politically rather than actually wanting to be king - which isn't better, in all honesty. But it is fascinating!
This is in no way meant to be a faithful, accurate or analytical depiction of the actual historical figure Jean-de-Dieu Soult or his staff officers, nor is it meant to condone their actions or offer any historical commentary. This is also primarily focusing on his life during the Napoleonic Wars, but if you want to, I dunno, ask about his life as Prime Minister cozying up to the Orleanists or the French Foreign Legion, I will go look at Wikipedia and come back to you!
This version of Soult and his men does have a bit of Worldbuilding Lore about their existence in the afterlife, but it's not necessary to know to interact with him.
So feel free to ask this grumpy asshole or his entourage of weird ADCs anything!
I also play a very loud Marshal Jean Lannes at @armagnac-army! ))

if you wrote Byron fanfiction i would read it lmao
I do!!! I have a fanfic series titled Lake Geneva University where all the Romantics & their friends attend an international university & are part of Percy Shelley's writing club. I've uploaded several works on my ao3 account & have some more still pending to publish. I also have an actual historical piece like half written, but I prefer the lack of restraint that comes with writing these historical figures in the modern day, & the imagination required in "translating" them to our world. But really it's a mostly funny series with mild angst/introspection whereas my Jane Eyre fics are really prosey & pretty lol.
Here's my account!

"In Exchange for Honor" by Pascal's Chimaera
My short Richard/Philip comic I’ve been working on! Inspired by the famous Gesta Henrici II/Roger of Howden quote, although less about the bed sharing and more about the weirdness and artifice of public performance of relationships, hehehe. Lots of room for delusion, but also fun thematics to explore...
Anyways, I have more comics on the way I want to work on eventually in this vein... But you can see a bonus comic as well as more of my more detailed notes and thoughts from my reading my site post here.

Cad Does Dragon Sketches
napoleonic marshalate dragons au chronological tag
ideas for some dragons in the Marshalate Dragons AU - in particular Lannes, Junot, Soult and Bessières
i do not know how consistency works but hey designs, but if anyone has other or alternate ideas I would love to see them too!
I’m liking the idea of basically having the dragons here be more birdlike/dinosaur like with feathery manes, to distinguish them from the very reptilian-inspired-by-butterflies Temeraire dragons - also they can have more whacky and weird varied body shapes and body plans, most have bat wings but some have bird wings and Junot can have both-in-one as a treat
The little stick men drawings next to the standing dragon sketches are vague size estimates but I’m awful at spatial reasoning and picturing things in my head so it’s very approximate

HOW TO NOT BE AN ASSHOLE IN ROLEPLAY BLOGS: A KINDA IN-CHARACTER GUIDE BY TWO FICTIONALISED DEAD FRENCHMEN AND THEIR ROLEPLAYER
Ahem!
This is an official communiqué from the Marshal Dukes of Montebello and Dalmatia!
We have the greatest faith in the conduct of those marching in our Grande Armeé and those that we associate with BUT this bulletin has been written wit hthe express objective of instructing you fine folk on PROPER ETIQUETTE in the context of "internet roleplaying!"
We welcome any corrections, comments or suggestions in either of our respective inboxes, or in the inbox of our roleplayer, @cadmusfly. We also do not intend for this curricular to be construed as blaming anyone, while it is written in reaction to certain events and conversations that have occurred. We understand that some recent conscripts and recruits do not have the context and understanding of "roleplaying" that others may have, and we do not wish to cast judgement on people who do not know.
This is an instructional guide on certain concepts that are useful to be aware of when roleplaying, as well as an imperative on the golden rule: Do Not Be A Fucking Asshole!
~
Contents of this Proclamation:
On The Matter of Basic Courtesy (Mature and Intense Topics, Real Life Comes First, Different Roleplaying Styles)
On The Difference Between In Character And Out of Character
On the Subject of Emotional “Character Bleed”
On “Metagaming” or the Subject of Abusing OOC Knowledge
On “Godmodding” or the Subject of Writing Other People’s Characters For Them
On “Powerplaying” or the Subject of Winning All The Time
On Joining Existing Ongoing Conversations And Interactions
On Interacting With Non-Roleplayers
~
On The Matter of Basic Courtesy
First of all, while this is a mature roleplay scene that addresses topics such as violence, sexuality and so forth, we are asking you to PLEASE observe common courtesy!
Certain topics should not be approached lightly, especially as an anonymous ask or message! These include but are not limited to: non-humourous insults and harassment, suicide baiting/suicide encouragement, heavily sexual and/or non-con content, non-exaggerated detailed threats of violence and other things that, if sent to a non-roleplaying blog, would be considered to be abusive and rude!
By default, assume that most people do not want to receive those things! Those blogs that are okay with answering such asks should tag posts that clearly fall under one of those topics under an easily blacklisted tag such as “harassment” or “tw harassment” and the specific topic, so that others who don’t want to see that can filter that out.
If a roleplay involves such topics or involves topics such as detailed sexual content, be considerate and put that under a cut!
This is also a reminder that you are not required to answer every ask or message that you receive! You are not required to have your inbox open or to have it open to anonymous messages and you may close or open your inbox as you wish! You may delete messages at your will.
-
Second, we will advise you to keep in mind the maxim that Real Life Comes First. We are not expecting you to dedicate all your time and energy to this roleplay and roleplay interactions. While it is pleasant to receive swift timely responses, we recognise that this is not often feasible. We therefore ask that you attend to your own needs before dedicating time to fiction.
This is an activity for entertainment, and it should remain entertaining.
However, it is polite that if you are engaged in an ongoing involved roleplay activity or interaction that is dependent on your interactions, that you update the other people involved in this activity if you foresee that you are unable to respond for an abnormally long period of time. An example of an ongoing involved roleplay that is dependent on common updates is the current incident with Murat and Bessieres nicknamed “Phantoms of the Opera”.
If you are also involved in such a thing and find yourself not responding for weeks or months, it is better to apologise and communicate rather than to expect yourself to one day pick it up again. This may sound ridiculous, but our roleplayer was involved in a Tumblr roleplay scene dedicated to lengthy third person prose roleplays, where the common length of response was a few hundred words per response. The roleplayer was committed to multiple of these roleplays at once, which proved to be a far too involved activity that had unfortunate repercussions.
Our particular roleplaying world is far more casual and far less involved than that, and not even “Phantoms of the Opera” is as involved or as time-consuming as those threads. But we bring up that past history to illustrate that communication is important, and roleplay should never feel like an obligation.
-
Third, we are well aware that there are different roleplaying styles, different levels of proficiency with language, different levels of knowledge on the historical subject and different viewpoints. We are grateful to see that nobody has been rude about this. But! We think it is worth asking people to be understanding about this matter! Be gracious and do not be an asshole, or we will have words!
In fact, if you and someone else's roleplaying styles clash or you're not having fun, you're allowed to not interact with them but be a goddamn adult about it!
Now, let us move on to some roleplaying concepts that it is prudent and useful to know.
~
On The Difference Between In Character And Out of Character
That being said, we will emphasize a few things such as In Character and Out of Character separation! In Character means actions and words that are taken by the character, while Out of Character means anything else that is not in the context of the roleplay!
(( For example, Out of Character stuff during a roleplay is usually denoted by two parenthesis, like this! This is me, Cadmus, speaking out of character - I've indented this to make this stand out from Lannes. Other OOC stuff includes, well, anything I say on my main blog or discord or whatever.
OOC communication that relates to a roleplay often involves talking about things like planning plots, chatting about characters, etc! ))
It has surely not escaped your attention that this communique is written In Character, as an imagined collaboration between heavily fictionalised parodic depictions of Marshals Soult and Lannes. However, this bulletin is curious in that it depicts us as being aware of meta elements such as this roleplay. This is not intended to be part of either of the assumed narratives that is present on our "blogs", and is thus why this is labelled as "kinda in-character".
We are also aware that some people are playing themselves or fictionalised versions of themselves. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is gratifying to see that there is more acceptance for this than there historically was. But if you are roleplaying a fictionalised version of yourself, do be mindful of keeping IC and OOC separate.
Yes! It is important to make sure that In Character and Out of Character actions and emotions are separated! Two characters may have an argument that escalates into violence, but the roleplayers behind the characters should not feel ill will towards each other. That said!
~
On the Subject of Emotional “Character Bleed”
Emotions can run high, we know, and we are not saying that you cannot be affected by roleplay! There is a concept called Character Bleed where a roleplayer and a character can be influenced by each other’s actions; a character who is very angry at someone making their roleplayer feeling a bit irritated at the other character. Bleed is not inherently positive or negative - getting a sense of catharsis from good roleplay is considered to be bleed!
This is an informative article on the idea of Character Bleed in the context of Live Action Roleplaying. We personally advise you to be aware of the concept of bleed and to be mindful of how you’re feeling. In the case that the roleplay is feeling far too intense or upsetting, we recommend talking to your roleplay partners about what is going on and/or stepping away from the roleplay and computer.
~
On “Metagaming” or the Subject of Abusing OOC Knowledge
We also will advise that it can be awkward if Out of Character knowledge is used to make In Character decisions in a way that confers undue benefits to the character! For example, if two characters are having a private conversation about one of them having an allergy to bread, and then another character later weaponises bread because they magically know about that weakness, that is rude of the roleplayer to have their character magically know what is private information!
(( This is known as "metagaming", when out of character knowledge is used to make in character decisions. A lot of people don't like metagaming! However, I'm actually of a slightly different opinion: metagaming can be fun if used correctly - that is, to complicate your characters' lives or create opportunities - but it has to be believable. For example, Soult showing up on Lannes' blog for coincidentally funny interactions is arguably a form of metagaming. I also enjoy having my characters make stupid decisions based on in-character reasoning, while I know or suspect that those decisions will lead to entertaining results based on my OOC knowledge! ))
We recognise that due to the fast and casual nature of this roleplay, ideas of what is private and what is not may not be understood in the same way by all people! When the Duke of Montebello is answering “asks” on a “blog”, sometimes it’s implied to be via a computer somehow set up in the afterlife, sometimes it’s implied to be via handwritten letters in some kind of bulletin, and sometimes it’s an in-person communication, or maybe it’s somehow all of those at once. This is a rather confusing state of affairs!
But generally, if two characters are sending private letters to each other or have marked something as private, that information is private.
Arguably, matters of historical fact may or may not be metagaming here. We do not wish to come to an actual judgement on this, though we are leaning towards no as l’Art de Google (as invented by Jomini) is accessible to everyone for the most part. Our roleplayer prefers to play his characters as being ill-informed on matters past their deaths, but others do choose to play their characters differently in this regard!
~
On “Godmodding” or the Subject of Writing Other People’s Characters For Them
There is another concept called "godmodding" which is when one roleplayer narrates or specifies another roleplayer's character's actions or reactions. This is usually seen as rude, but is sometimes hard to work around with certain interactions such as fighting.
This is where communicating with the other roleplayer about intentions and getting permission to narrate what the other character is doing is a polite thing to do, or else deciding together on what the end result of the interaction is in advance. Otherwise, you can describe your character making an attempt at an action that impacts another character, but leaves the other character free to react.
Example! I punch Soult in his face! But I'm not going to be rude and say that my fist automatically connects with his face!
And I will reel back most ungracefully, my hand grasping at my face. It is also a little impolite to always dodge attacks and to always have the upper hand, so we do suggest occasionally letting your characters face some failures. To interact with someone who never loses is rather irritating.
If it makes sense for your character to know something about the other player’s character based on magical and supernatural abilities, we highly advise contacting the other player and asking if your character can have that information. If they say no, respect that answer!
~
On “Powerplaying” or the Subject of Winning All The Time
Related to the above two subjects is the topic of “Powerplaying”, also colloquially described as the “Ass-Pull”. Simply, this is when a character happens to have always have an “overpowered” advantage for any situation that is not established or grounded in previous facts established about the character.
For example, we can consider an example where a group of intrepid adventurers have been captured and locked up, and then one of them says that they secretly learned since they were age five how to explode locks with their minds! If this character was established as having a predilection for lock exploding or psychic powers, this would be more excusable, but it frankly comes across as ridiculous and as a game of one-manupship if done repeatedly.
In this casual humorous roleplay world set in an ill defined afterlife, we do have a certain amount of leeway in having interesting characteristics! Certainly, the phenomenon of “Magic Anons” where magical effects are unleashed upon people is a source of entertaining and interesting consequences, and we do not begrudge playing around and exploring this and other interesting ideas!
We merely ask that you do not view the goal of a roleplaying interaction as “winning”. There are multiple ways to “win”, and ultimately the goal here should be thought of as entertainment!
All things in moderation.
~
On Joining Existing Ongoing Conversations And Interactions
Again, we will reiterate that some conversations may be private or in between a few people only. For example, again, the ongoing “Phantoms of the Opera” is/was open for additional participants, but they were advised to ask the GM (Game Master) - your-dandy-king’s roleplayer - or our roleplayer first.
As a general rule, if you are considering joining in an existing interaction, first we will advise that you judge the tone of the interaction. Most of the interactions are lighthearted and humorous, and such lighthearted humorous interactions are generally assumed to be open for anyone to comment on. However, a serious and heartfelt conversation is most likely not conducive to additional humorous banter.
Secondly, we’ll say that communication is really useful! So if you really want to join in something and you’re unsure, just ask!
We’ll point out that roleplays that were open to all to join were marked as “Open” roleplays, while roleplays that only involved preset participants were marked as “Closed”. This terminology has not been used in this particular roleplay scene, but it’s a suggestion if you want to be very certain about stating that a particular ongoing interaction is open or not!
~
On Interacting With Non-Roleplayers
(( This is something that I’m personally not as certain about, because maybe the consensus has changed.. Basically, when I first used to do Tumblr RP in 2013 or 2014, it used to be considered rude for non-roleplayers and roleplayers to interact. It was like the two had their own different worlds.
There were posts telling non-roleplayers not to reblog roleplayer threads. Nowadays, I don’t care and you are all free to reblog my roleplay threads onto your non-roleplay blogs if you want, but maybe someone might not want their roleplay threads reblogged and it might be nice to respect that.
There was also a consensus about not reblogging non-roleplay posts with roleplay commentary. I’ve seen this happen a few times here and I’ve talked to a few people about it, and I don’t know how I feel about it! I do reblog things in-character occasionally - sheep for Lannes, nice art for Soult, occasionally info about both for both - but I try to make the tags fairly generic.
I guess I’m a little paranoid about the idea that someone might be weirded out by historical RPF or roleplay happening on their posts. I won’t be telling people off for this, now that I’m writing this post, and it’s probably okay if the original poster of that post follows you, but be mindful of this.
And probably keep it to a comment or two if you do! Don’t do long roleplay threads on non-roleplayers’ posts!))
~
We thank you for reading this instructional bulletin on roleplay etiquette and thank you for your participation. Now get out there and be polite fucking soldiers!

an introduction ˚˖𓍢ִ໋🦢˚
hello to all the ladies and gentleman behind the screen! it is my pleasure to acknowledge you as well, welcome to my "blog" (that´s how you young people call it, right?). the after life has become some how fulled with boredom— nothing to do, except for reflecting upon my past life... but now, i´ve finally pinned down what other contemporaries of mine have been doing so far on the "internet", so i shall know discover what is so amusing about this activity.
(more should be added as time passes. hi. im silly mysterious person who runs mme. beuharnais. this is just an escape to my workaholic student life).
!! (this is not, by any means, an at all accurate depiction of josephine beauharnais, and just should be taken on more as a unserious matter) !!
