Joachim Murat - Tumblr Posts

Soooo in the next couple of days I would love to speak about how I got to the point where I am right now in the fandom! And first of all - about few historical characters who have been figuring in my drawings for almost a year and a half. :)

I guess that the most accurate way of describing my preferences would be

✨The squad of yearly 19th-century military men with huge sideburns✨

And here they are - from left to right (or should I say from top to bottom, ehem):

First and foremost, I should say couple of words about the man who had been my main inspiration for almost three year in a row - prince Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration, famous infantry general of the Russian Empire. 🇷🇺

Well… I love him with all of my heart! As a Russian who suddenly got into history of Napoleonic wars (and, actually, history in general even though it was not my cup of tea for the major part of my life) thanks to Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” which I read for our literature class in high school and was completely enchanted by it I had plenty of choices with whom I could start my journey.

And I chose… Alexander I.

Yep, I find it rather logical and still appreciate the role that he had played in getting me into the Napoleonic wars shenanigans (even though now I know so much about all of his downsides and unpleasant features of his character) but in the end Bagration means much more to me. 🌹

He was a wonderful warrior with a heart of a lion, a bit too hotheaded but righteous and fair till the very end. I find it fascinating how gracefully he managed to combine his own skills concerning the art of war with the habits of Russian imperial court. Even though he didn’t manage to maintain good relationships with tzar Alexander (oops, here goes Alexander’s pride and arrogance when it came to the military affairs) because of his own sense of right and wrong and his stubbornness (which, in my opinion, was completely justified by the situation in the battlefield) and was acting rather obstinately in the begging of the War of 1812, he got the glory and honour he deserved from his fellow generals and even the enemies of the empire. His unfortunate death is a real tragedy as many sources show that he could have been saved even with the poor medical sources of the time… But oh well. What happened, happened. 😔

Long story short, I think that Bagration was quite wholesome person and I’m happy to see that nowadays he still gets much recognition! 🎉

And the next one we haaaaaave… oh my, who could it be if not the one and only Joachim Murat, maréchal de France, Roi de Naples, in all of his shining glory! 🇫🇷✨

Won’t say much about him here (because it’s far too much for this poor post already 😅) only that this man fascinates me to the bottom of my heart! It’s always such a pleasure to learn something new about his adventures and the adventures of Napoleon’s maréchaux in general. Love them all very much!

Vive la France, vive la Révolution française et vive le Premier Empire surtout!~

…Okay, but also, like, Murat’s attitude to different things and events, his flamboyancy in clothing and his overall, er, sensibility helped me a lot with some deep struggles about my own identity and I will always be grateful to him for who he was. ❤️

The last but not the least is long-forgotten (even though now I find more than enough information about his life, character and deeds) but utterly sweet Fürst Karl Philipp zu Schwarzenberg, field marshal and experienced diplomat in service of the Holly Roman and then Austrian Empire. 🇦🇹

I’m certainly going to make a specific post about how did I end up with him, that one bloody devil Metternich (definitely heard about that guy somewhere) and my overall sudden boiling passion for the austrian history which grows stronger every day so I’m DEFINITELY not going to get into details this time, I swear!

…I only want to express my frustration: I was not smart enough few years ago and now have to study German language frantically. Mein Gott, it was a love from the first sight but that’s pretty tough nonetheless. One year of express self studying has passed and I hope it’s only a beginning!

P. S.

To sum it all up, I would like to state one last question.

On a scale from one to ten how ✨cringe✨ is it to aggressively simp for someone like Metternich? Because it must have been over half of a year by now and my concern is growing. 😂

Since an introduction was made as well as the first series about Napoleonic era, I can continue posting mostly art with my heart and mind at ease. X)

So for the past year and a half I drew a bunch of stuff with Murat! Unfortunately, some of it doesn’t look good enough but I did my best to arrange a selection of my works that I still like nowadays.

Here they are: a drawing study from the famous Canova’s bust (except for his moustache sorry Joachim I’m too weak…); cartoonish Murat with the flags of two countries which I associate with him the most; a bunch of ✨drama✨ concerning the 13th of October; small thing I made for a drawing ask in our Russian community of Napoleonic history lovers as well as teenager Joachim with his horse friend! 🐎

Pair drawings of Murat and Ney I made some time ago for myself and my dear friend @michel-feuilly ✨

They were born out of a spontaneous experiment with different brushes and I’m still very fond of the result. :)

Paper doll of Murat, complete with horse, multiple outfits, and accessories. Artwork by Jacques Onfroy de Bréville (JOB).

(For the Napoleon paper doll, see here.)

I swear to you, my dear followers and all the Napoleonic history lovers: I’m capable of drawing not only Austrians and I have a proof! A very hooligan one but still. X)

Here it is! Ahem. 👑

So, who do we have here? Oh, gosh, what an honour! Their Majesties, the king of Sweden and the King of Naples, are certainly sharing the same train of thought which considers the preservation of their crown in the years 1813-1814… 🤭

What can I say about the whole affair? Well, no shame, for sure, only bright royal future in a foresight!

Love these two gascon bastards despite any mischievous combinations they had to perform during their turbulent lives. If only both succeeded in their claims… That could have been the strangest and the perkiest pair of monarchs in all the post-Napoleonic wars Europe!

Aaaaand here comes my part of an art-trade for @michel-feuilly with a reference 🥰🌹

Just Murat and Ney being quite… sensual! 🇫🇷

*Murat joining the coalition*

Francis II., to Murat: Jean will show you around.

Bernadotte, pointing at a door: Here's the exit.

uhh yeah

school has me beaten and the only thing i could do to survive was dummy dum-dum "napoleonic" doodles over my homework of course

I was finally able to obtain a book I’ve been wanting for years:

It is absolutely gorgeous. 242 pages of Murat’s letters (including images of the originals) and lovely artwork.

did i serve or did i serve 😍😍😍😍😍

murat as mettaton because im clinically insane

as a fun fact i'll say that i have a tradition of drawing different historical figures as mettaton anually also why you may ask idk either its just fun

ANYWAY you guys get 2 versions 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

ALL MY SILLY NAPOLEONIC FANARTS ARE HERE!

I'M BACK with more silly napoleonic fanarts!

Murat sticker from Hsr(Sampo's Emote)

Main ref(I Was lazy to draw the details on the trash can,I'm so sorry💀)

Anyways now you can match it with the Bessières sticker (I love how y'all call it Flat Bessie)💝🌸

Anyways if your too lazy to find Bessie here

Do you have any favourite ships? Any media you're interested in or just duo that you enjoy the dynamic of!!

Ok I barely join some popular media they're more like the quiet ones sooo

So uhh Napolington -

I usually stick to one ship in a fandom and call it a day,but in the end Love is love and as long as it's not really problematic I'm fine,Like when I first joined the Napoleonic fandom I stayed with my pairs till this day and those pairs were..(It may be in order)

And these pairs were pure gambles :D aka

I assumed relationships in FANART😨😨😨(Thank you Amino)

•Napoleonic

-Lannes&Ney:I feel like this Pair isn't talk ABT often😔😔😔My only history with them is that they're the first Marshals I found and paired

-Bessimu:Ill tell you a silly story of how I may have shipped them but I like their contradicting personalities!(they're literally the "inside you are two wolves" meme)

....uhhh ok after some thoughts this ship is sort of my guilty pleasure.Like it's literally corroding my brain

-Massoult:OK GUYS HEAR ME OUT-

ok but genuinely I was relieved knowing they're relationship was pretty good (yk more support to the ship rather than just saying they both liked looting-)The letter from Massena also helped and I like imagining them interacting in my head which IM NOT TELLING YOU OR I WILL GET TAKEN TO THE PYSCHE WARD/but genuinely every knew irl or fannon interaction thats positive makes genuinely ecstatic and full of Dopamine(overall I like a tired grumpy man with a...tired...and old man idk)

-I have more actually it's just that I can't explain all since they did say"Media"so my generals but Classical music ig is next

{A ship I feel like my reasoning should just be kept since I'm on thin ice with this is Bethomoz,thank youu}

•Choliszt:Classic, literally unrequited love,I feel bad for Liszt ngl he seemed so genuinely sweet to Chopin (irl)and Chopin is just annoyed(from what I read)this is also the next ship you'll see in the fandom

Berlix- I heard somewhere Berlioz just casually calls Mendelssohn "Love" or something like that overall they seem quite nice for eachother that's all

Prokshos:I love them SM (Rns_williams drop another Prokshos fic and MY LIFE IS YOURS/SRS)I love the escalation from admiration to rivalry between them and even in the end Shosty still cared for Prokofiev:)

{Some rarepairs}

Vivaldi&Bach:They seem honestly so sweet for eachother.Bach's admiration for Vivaldi was so big he transcribed a handful of his concertos (And I think transcription is like a compliment since your spreading the work of an artist you think is great)Oh and look! They're blue and red what a twist

Paganini& Vivaldi: Literally those "AngelxDevil" gacha trope, They're also both Italians and from what I read Vivaldi was considered a Virtuoso before Paganini came in,Id like to see more stuff ABT them

Paganini &Mozart:Mostly a twist thing I genuinely don't hold that much love for it but I do find them funny and silly!

-Some other pairs(Pairs that I don't really think ABT but still pairs)

•Alberose(Genshin)

•Saintpierre(Frev)

•Saintmoulins(Frev)

•Robesmoulins(Frev)

•Madohomu(Madoka Magica)

•Zhongven(Genshin)

•Gakukai(Vocaloid)

•Skk(BSD)

•Shin Skk(BSD)

Anyways thats maybe all I can cram:,)✧･ﾟ:❀✧･ﾟ✧･ﾟ:❀✧･ﾟThank you to whoever asked ABT this!Maybe we can even talk further if anyone who saw this happened to have something to say!!!🌸🍓🫶🫶

-yours truly

Oh once again I'm sorry for unorganised and probably worng wording so if you want clarification pls tell me😭😭😭😭I'm scared I got something misunderstood

(ANYWAYS WHAT A TRIP THAT WAS AMIRIGHT????){pls laugh/j}

Uhm, Hi!!!

Could you tell me your opinion on Bessimuroc? <3

Soo uhhh I find the ship fine and all but to be real my response will be heavily similar to Flowwo 's response(If I remembered) but I think it's a fun and creative ship and overall thinking about,it has a fine dynamic

Thank you!

(And if you need some clarification go ahead pls do!!)

It's disappointing that I may not do the best for the next ,nevermind the anatomy on this piece makes me kms , Idk Art feels so tiring so unfulfilling yet so addicting and interesting ,I wish all Artists the full of their potential to show throughout their pieces🫶🍓anyways I think this is just a non chalant artpiece

(anyways bessimu mentioned as always 🌸they're beautiful together)

Do you think Murat could be classified as a Mary Sue(or not like other rgirls type)

Idk him and his uniforms just give me that vibe

I'm so done with this fandom(affectionately)

school doodles^-^Also guess who's birthday is almost there🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
