I’d grab Robespierre like the mechanical claw that grabs trash cans on a trash truck and give him a tiny little smooch on the head.

Maximilien x Leyendecker

I like to think there was a time irl when these two would fire each other up, they seemed both very passionate in different kinds of ways.

HE'S REAL.

Hi! Are there primary sources, proving that Robespierre hated the executions made with the guillotine and that he even shut the window in his room, so that he couldn't hear and see them? I read of this somewhere, it's also shown in LRF, but couldn't find any historical evidence.

The anecdote of Robespierre shutting the door for, not every execution, but specifically the king’s, can be found within Histoire des Montagnards by Alphonse Esquiros:

Robespierre had returned to Duplay's house the day before without saying a word: his silence and his pallor had been immediately understood by the carpenter and his wife, but not by the young girls. They woke up as usual at sunrise: only one thing concerned them, it was that since morning the main door of the house had remained closed. There were positive orders on that which came from the father of the family. Éléonore timidly asked Maximilien the reason for it in front of her other sisters. Robespierre blushed. ”Your father is right,” he said with a serious and concentrated air, ”Today, something will pass in front of this house that you must not see.” After that he ducked sadly into his room. About half-past nine in the morning, the sound of horses, the passing of troops, and the rolling of a carriage on the pavement of the street was heard even in the yard: it was the thing that passed by.

Esquiros did claim to have interviewed Élisabeth Duplay, so maybe the anecdote comes from her and Esquiros just wouldn’t specify it (@sieclesetcieux, do you perhaps know more here?)

Besides that however, I don’t know of any evidence indicating Robespierre avoided executions like the plague, aside from the fact that he’s not confirmed to have attended any aside from his own.

I'm just pretending it's not Thermidor Eve. They all lived happily ever after and France was saved, the end.

Birthday boy!!

They grow up so quickly 😔😔

I've finally taken the time - and found the courage - to study the uni library's classification system to find the shelves for French History. I was not disappointed!
