Voltaite photo dump 2. And yes, I know there’s probably copies, I found 17 versions of the same picture last night lol. 

Looking for pictures the last few days, I found some really good ones after I managed to dig through the multiple versions of the same thing. I feel like those ones with the masks may be something later on.  

So like

At first I was like "Haha, Voltaire x Rousseau yaoi" as a joke, but now I can distinctly feel the Voltaire hyperfixation forming and like…How do I feel about that ???

I think the safest way to express all of…that would be to turn french philosophers into ocs in an Hamilton kind of way (although not to the Miku binder Jefferson extreme) but if I am to do this I won’t go through the trouble of changing any names (maybe ages though, just in case because I am not shipping anything illegal. Update on that: Rousseau and Voltaire had an 18 years gap, which I think is reasonable (firm age gap defender here, even irl))

So like, brb guys, I’m gonna headcanon Voltaire.

Society better be fucking ready.

Update: It seems I am not the only one who is insane about 18th century yaoi (a certain artist who’s art I have been eating up for the past hour) so I would like to add to this post that huh, well huh, erm, call me a fritztair shipper now i guess.

Also, fuck the oc idea, I will assume my cringe and just say they are indeed the 18th century guys, thank you.

Summer had been calm and I’ve just been printing phone cases… except that I also reread F & V’s letters while (tried to) read (part of) Christiane Mervaud’s study of the letters and it was a blast. The book gives many, many incredible literary and psychological insights. it kind of made me rethink about fritztaire. Bitterness and arguments are so delicious for me as reader but they did hurt them deeply, and are part of the reason why Voltaire stepped away for 4 years from 1760. But the relationship between these two is like a tree that grew from mutual admiration, then intertwined with flaws and pettiness, coped with events of the world, lost some of the original color, while continuing to spiral upwards and span intellectually, to last 42 years and to BE THEM, TOGETHER. after all admiration and attraction was in the root.

Also I’m so grateful for the author to highlight that it was Wilhelmine who made the correspondence in 1757-58 possible, or better it was a three way correspondence. Been trying to collect the letters to actually reflect this!

The letters themselves on the other hand are light and witty and fun (except a few years’) and some passages are wilder than fanfics I still have a hard time grasping their realness? Such a treasure trove. can’t believe it’s my 4th year as a fv shipper and I am still rambling about them daily :-)))))))

my one toxic trait is that I vastly overestimate the extent to which an average person wants to hear about 18th century philosophers' sex lives

The only important rap beef is Rousseau vs Voltaire

Hi chat, so, Voltaire hyperfixation am I right ? I can’t even tell if he’s recognizable but I just needed to draw him or else I would have imploded.

I…I don’t even know anymore
