Des cartes révolutionnaires

[montagnarde1793]

My revolutionary cards came today! I got two decks: one was a reproduction of one originally created in 1793, and the other was made for the bicentennial. These are the Saint-Just and Robespierre cards for the latter. Saint-Just, because of his mission to Alsace, is representing the suit of the Republican army (des piques), while Robespierre represents the suit of the civilian Republic (des carreaux). Both in in place of the Roi card (hence the "R").

Aww....how cute!

Gawd, they were SO in love, whether they slept together or not! Jeez...

*laughs* ...oh probably.

Sorry, after one of the lines back there I just had this sudden mental image of them making baby eyes at each other across the table.

That would seem like a good picture for chibis; if I could draw them I would attempt it...

[daughtermestizo.livejournal.com]

I've tried drawing that sort of expression before. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Pity; well so much for that...

[daughtermestizo.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure I could give it another go.

...In all your spare time. *grins*

*hangs head* ...Yes.

Well do be sure to set your priorities... or something.
