NAPOLEON I.

   history based with heavy insp. from l.m.m's hamilton , comics by j.m & hertz: le triangle secret.

         okay okay time for another important meta ! ! !   i don’t have all my #receipts  rn  ,     but i’m p confident abt what i can remember     again ,    it is crucial to my portrayal of napoléon.     anyways !    sources mention napoléon could lapse in melancholic moods ,  especially after battles.      second ,    in his letters to joseph     i think it’s joseph  -  it’s one of his brothers in any case  )     he mentions considering throwing himself before a carriage.  HE ALSO TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE WITH POISON AROUND HIS ABDICATION IN 1814.     this attempt failed but lmao he was in a lot of pain.     implied is too that his depression was one of the factors contributing to the defeat at waterloo.    lastly ,   napoléon at st helena was DEF depressive      i don’t have any direct sources on that but it seems p obvious to me.     while i’m definitely sure this wasn’t teenage angst or relationship troubles   -   i’m not sure whether it was PTSD or a major depression
