quick steps lead her down the street, her head hangs, avoiding the gazes of passerby & neighbors alike. discoloration on her arms are hidden under sleeves that continue to rise; yet she won’t stop until she gets to her destination. distractedly, she turns to tug down the fabric, & stumbles straight into a man she’s never met. just her luck.
❝ pardon me, sir, i wasn’t watching where i was going, it’s my fault, i meant no harm. ❞
vive henri quatre - sad , toneless tune lies ‘pon his lips as he drags himself through the streets of america. joseph -brother dearest , offered to switch roles.
he accepted, after much consideration - bonaparte has never been a man of intrigues , intended to extradite himself to the english.
france is widowed , the emperor has fallen. he mourns , white hat covering eyes. ‘tis a scene reminiscent of the past - absent he is , lost into thoughts , never seeing where he walks.
“ ah! excusez-moi , ” he half expects himself to explode in anger - but of late he seems to be lacking energy in many a thing , so an halfhearted apology it is. “i did not notice.”
hi! i’m agrippa (they/them) and i’m fourteen. i live in belgium and i speak dutch, french (un peu) , english and NONEXISTENT german. this is an independent rp blog for napoléon bonaparte ; emperor of the french, based on the comics by jacques martin, hertz: l'ombre de l'aigle and la troisième mort de l'empereur and history in general. this napoléon rp was established the sixth of november. i also take some inspiration from victor hugo , alexandre dumas and other authors of the nineteenth century. i’m private and extremely selective.
basics.
obiviously i am not napoleon bonaparte (he's been dead for nearly two hundred years) neither am i alexander karim , oscar isaac or am i affiliated to the hertz comics, to jacques martin or to lin manuel miranda. this is a blog merely for entertainment purposes - no money is made of this
i am selective and private meaning that i only interact with mutuals. sorry for that , but i've got quite a lot on my plate. that being said, this is a low activity blog.
my opinions do not match those of napoleon bonaparte. that being said , it's worth a reminder that he was born in the eighteenth century - while he was quite enlightened, some of his opinions were shit. also , this is BONAPARTE'S POV - not mine.
i do not do smut. i'm underage and i dont wanna get ya guys in trouble. though, i'm okay with innuendos and other kinds of nsfw like violence.
i don't want racism or any kind of phobia on my dash. especially antisemitism and ableism pisses me off.
triggers are tagged as TRIGGERHERE // my only trigger is insects please do tag related horror, not only imagery.
do not steal - please. i've been doing quite a lot of research to bonaparte and the other figures of his era , and it would make me sad to see you stealing stuff i worked very hard on.
due to the unique circumstances of the napoleonic era i prefer to keep this blog in it's original setting but i'm chill with adapting in various ways, especially smudging timelines. i do have a reincarnation verse , but that is all.
i have played asscreed unity, but i think it totally fucked up the french revolution - nonetheless i'm willing to interact with characters from the fandom , just expect my own takeon. aristocrats werent the nice guys of the rev & ROBESPIERRE. WAS. NOT. EVIL.
naps is pansexual, but shipping is extremely selective - i mainly ship napoleon / augustin de robespierrre (almostincorruptible) and naps / josephine bonaparte or naps / augustin / josie. he's not someone to open up quickly to someone else, and both augustin and josephine were fundamental persons in his life.
i don't do passwords , i'm sorry! i have anxiety - for the same reasons i don't have a password either!
most of the paintings / busts posted here were open source - that being said , the theme background was made by me but the psd i slapped over it was released in a psd pack by @valourslain. the icons are mine, psd was made by showmaxter , but slightly edited by me in order to make it poc friendly.
lastly - i think napoleon was poisioned on the isle of saint-helena by comte de montholon. i will write all threads appropiately. this is merely a suspicion.
what do you mean with hamilton!napoleon?
i’m using a POC fc like in the musical for a historically white character. if you don’t like that, don’t follow me. i will also actively try to integrate elements of the musical & allude to the same themes.
WHY ARE YOU ROLEPLAYING NAPOLEON? HE WAS EVIL.
please do your research and avoid british historians ;; he WASN’T. bonaparte was the most enlightened , leftist ruler of his time after the revolution. while he did do / say some shitty stuff ( eg. reinstation of slavery in the french colonies / esp sexism!! ) he was p cool. moreover, he wasn’t that warlike as we like to think. feel free to shoot me a (polite) ask if you want proof or you wanna discuss some stuff.
this is not an attempt to glorify him - i merely wanted to SHED LIGHT on the forgotten parts of his life and make sure his story is not forgotten. when it comes to history, i have read betsy balcombe's memoirs, johan opdebeeck's biographies and i am currently reading: napoléon, mon aieul, cet inconnu by charles napoléon, la révolution française by max gallo, a biography on maximilien de robespierre, louis xvi, josephine bonaparte and several original sources. moreover, i am listening to a podcast concerning naps and women. i do intend to read the entire max gallo series on bonaparte.
