I thought the whole point was she was so far removed from what was going on that she told them to eat something they couldn't even afford to make.
Or something along those lines.

Then again, I never studied the French Revolution.
France never interested me.

Marie actually said qu'ils mangent de la brioche which in french translates to let them eat Brioche. And Brioche is literally just bread. The poor girl was just a political pawn.

A more expensive bread
True but I still think there's nothing she could have done about the situation. Marie was still a sheltered little girl from Austria when she first arrived in France and she was extremely unpopular. And there were many problems France was facing at the time how could she have solved them all? Her husband, Louis XVI was a weak ruler and many problems of France were blamed on her.

Doesn't brioche have lots of butter and sugar in it?
Wasn't sugar super expensive back then?

Yes! Sugar was inaccessible to the common people, they were more reversed for the upper class. Though I don't know about other countries sugar prices in Britain dropped a lot during the 17th century which meant lower class and middle people had access to sugar!

@Reborn_Cat what's the Duskwood faction?
It's mainly my headcannon of a petty neutral faction that has influence but stays out of factional politics and when someone attacks a member of their faction, They make a fuss till they ruin the other persons life. They mostly have people who are talented like Luna or some popular writer etc and also nobles who own stuff like popular restaurants and shopping streets(Like the french bourgeoisie).

He eventually became known as the face of cultural arts in the Sky Archipelago and married Rhea at 23, a famous designer of the same age who owned several popular boutiques. He is also the head of the Duskwood faction.
Tch!
And here I was thinking he'd make a good prospect for Clarice.
orz
Of course he's already married.
All the good guys are.

If only all the problems in the world could be solved by comedy.
Comedy aint solving no problems, but at least we could get some funny ass stories about history.
Like, that one time some unfortunate German sniper have the pleasure to have a dual with USS Texas.....with her 14in caliber guns. The distance of the sniper was outside of her guns maximum range, so the captain deadass ordered the ship to be flooded on one side, tilling her 3 degree to one side, and increased her range by a few miles....
Or that one story about that one time Venice have a coup, nad was stopped by an old woman who was too annoyed by the noise outside and drop her mortal down, killing the banner bearer right next to the coup leader. Everyone then was like, "Shiteee..... I aint doing it no more" and went home.
Or, that one time where France try to exile Napoleon, only to have him rolled up to the nearest barrack and like "Yo, your general here!" And take the army back to Paris to retake his position.
Or, how about that one time when Rome told Hannibal after the battle to Canae to shoved it and told him to wait for round two, after he defeated 16 legions worth of men?

When you're down bad and read it as Duskweed Faction
They do sound like hippie tho, with all the lazy attitude and neutral stand.
