Inktober 8: A real five star boy, @labanannamagica ‘s oc Myka
Hi Reddit, recently I (36m) took my wife (35f) and tried to flee the country due to fear of the revolution that has elevated the lowly and struck down noble privilege sweeping the country. The government has caught me and seems rather displeased with me for it. AITA?
Marie Antoinette
so it's three in the morning so excuse my ramblings but:
Marie Antoinette, first of all, did NOT say "let them eat cake" the girl was literally fed on a silver spoon, what did you expect? There's no actual evidence supporting this.
She was still a child when she was married off to Louis XVI! It was a political alliance, you can't possibly expect a 14 y/o to rule a whole nation.
Her world was Austria. She was born and raised there. France was an entirely new world for her. She knew nothing of the customs, the traditions. What could she do?
It's said that her last words were to her executioner for apologizing for stepping on his shoes. Does that really strike you as something someone so apparently heartless would say, even if she were trying to save herself? No. I didn't think so.
It's all easy to say from here but my point is that maybe we shouldn't treat her a some plain narcissistic queen—I believe she, like everyone, had her own issues and a complicated personality.
