Very, very carefully Augustin placed his son, in fact his first-born, in the arms of aforementioned Corsican, steadying the tiny head with one, for the record, slightly shaking, the fact that he has fathered a child in the first place was still simply a small MIRCALE to him, palm as he gently handed him over to the man he actually has chosen as the godfather of his son, however, wasn’t aware of this ’luck’ yet; no matter if he in fact wanted to or not.
Instantly an almost dumb grin tugged at the corners of his mouth at the mere sight how the little one grasped after one of the buttons on the other’s jacket, a small SMILE, giggle, of triumph from the child’s side once tiny fingers clenched around its aim. The younger Robespierre literally felt his heart MELT.
My, my; did he actually help making something so GOOD? Well, little Philippe was probably only so perfect because he looked more like his mother than his good-for-nothing father.
“I think he LIKES you.”
for now , petit philippe seems to have more interest in buttons of frayed coat - général véndemiaire holds the little boy in the light , scrutinizing features.
“je pense qu’il a ton nez , augustin.” a broad smile sweeps across buonaparte’s face - augustin’s boy has decided to pay attention to the person holding him.
“and who’s your uncle ?who’s your uncle ? your uncle is napoléon ! na-po-lé-on! ”
he emphasizes each syllable -determined to let his name be philippe’s first word.
( already he wishes to have a child of his own. )
features contort into the funniest faces , aiming to make the child laugh.
then , his hand moves to the little boy’s ear , tugging on it - not as hard as he does with his beloved moustaches , still with quite some force.
for a moment he fears the baby boy is going to cry , then a laugh breaks through , and le petit caporalmirrors the smile.
“ you’re going to make an excellent boy , aren’t you?”
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.

BORN IN 1769 , as NABULIONE DI BUONAPARTE - a corsican. none would have imagined this young boy would once be the emperor of the french. his youth would be spent as corsican separatist , france was his second choice. nonetheless , his maxim - everything for the french people , he would adhere to through the course of his life.
THE REVOLUTION BROKE OUT - buonaparte , admirer of rousseau ( later voltaire ) stood on the side of the jacobins & worked as secretary for les amis de la constitution , but despised the rentless violence of the 'canaille'. napoleone - artillerist in the french rose quickly through the ranks - benefiting from meritocracy. / / TO BE CONTINUED.
