PIC: Chibis of the CSP

...well, because no one will understand who all these extra random chibis are without a guide, I decided to draw one. Mostly for my own benefit, which is why it's all rather thrown together into a single page, and why the names attached are more identifiers than they are names. If you've ever wondered how the chibification process goes, it's something like this. XD

Oh, and due to a lack of good colour references, I guessed on a number of things here. If you see anything you think ought to be changed, tell me! This is very tentative, and if you tell me now, I should be able to correct it before I post the next few pictures that have these guys in it!

Warning: large image








...so, thoughts?

XDDD No, though it's...um...okay, the irony here just kills me. It's similar and yet completely dissimilar. And it's a crack!picture and crack!comic, not so much a crack!story...the picture is almost done, and the comic will be pretty quickly completed afterwards because it's highly simplistic, so just keep watching this space: there will be further developments. XD

I do have to get around to doing that one too, though. XDDD

Well, it is IMMENSELY ironical. That's why I thought it was funny. Especially that some historians -- particularly the Anglo-Saxons, who seem unable to disconnect from religion in their analysis -- often seem to see it this way. Though they wouldn't get it.

Who is it who called Jesus a terrorist in one of my courses...? Ah, yes, Mme Leclerc in the Roman Social History Course, thus explaining the reason for the crucifixion -- which is for slaves and terrorists. Naturally. It all works out. Except for the conservatives. XD

But for that picture, you'll need portraits of the Robespierristes. Which I'll do someday in a post, like I did for the CSP, but clearly not now, because it's tougher to get portraits of the Robespierristes.

I still have no idea what's your story there though. >___>

It is, it is, but you'll understand what I meant more when I actually post it. Which would happen faster if my computer didn't shut down and erase all my work. ;_;

One of my teachers was doing that...except it was a class titled Jesus and the Origins of Christianity, and I initially feared that it would be hideously boring, and then the teacher cheerfully started on about how crucifixion was only really a punishment for political crimes, and how we can completely discount X, Y, and Z parts of the story because they completely contract both each other and what archeology has discovered...it was a fun class. It must have given all the devout Christians in the audience apoplexies.

But yes, please, do find pictures and post them, and I'll definitely draw that image. The idea amuses me immensely. I intend to have Maxime reaching for an orange. XD

Oh noes! D: I wanna know!! ;___;

The Holy Orange?

Quotes from the Gospel of Maxime: Eat of this orange, for it is my body. Drink of this coffee, for it is my blood. Do this paperwork, because otherwise I'll have to...

And that's when Collot d'Herbois stood and shouted he hated oranges.

XDDD! "And then the entire Committee turned into a shouting match, as was not unusual, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, particularly on the part of Couthon who was trying to actually get some work done. And then Maxime cried, 'Oh ye of little faith..!', except he didn't, but some historian a hundred years later decided to say he did..."

"And this is when Billaud-Varenne also stood and, noting Couthon was writing something, exclaimed, 'This is it, they plan to kill us all!!!'. Thus Couthon eyerolled and the others continued yelling..."

"And then Saint-Just decided to say something which wasn't terribly nice about how touchy Billaud-Varenne seemed to be - almost as if he felt he was doing something wrong - and Collot d'Herbois started shrieking 'Tyrant! Dictators!' - and, that historian from a hundred years later would like to eagerly add, he may have been foaming at the mouth, because that's what these people do, you know - and Maxime was just wondering how their nice dinner had turned into this, though he was not really very surprised. And lo! Barere looked up and disclaimed any responsibility for it, and no one was surprised..."
