the reason I love the three musketeers so much is that it's one of the most timeless stories I've ever read. every single adaptation I've ever watched works without feeling antiquated at all because the source material was So ahead of its time. Alexandre Dumas' Trois Mousquetaires codified all the great sagas that succeeded it (the young hero, naive and full of ambition, promised to a formidable destiny, leaves his native countryside to reach the swarming city where pitfalls, betrayals, and various adventures await him, accompanied by his faithful friends) that his narrative structure can be found absolutely everywhere - in fantasy, in science fiction... Nothing or almost nothing is dated in the work; the initial scene where d'Artagnan challenges each of the Musketeers to a duel one by one was funny in 1844 and is funny in 2023, the passionate and danger-tested romance between d'Artagnan and Constance was touching in 1844 and is touching in 2023, the jousts, both verbal and with swords, of the Musketeers were exciting in 1844 and are exciting in 2023. Reading the book blew my mind because I flew through it—it was SO entertaining!! SO funny!! It's quite literally the best story we have in French culture and I hope we never ever stop adapting it and reinventing it. un pour tous, tous pour un bitch !!

thinking about how senshi, chilchuck, and mithrun would all be around the same age if they were all the same race is so funny
just 3 middle aged men going through a midlife crisis who play divorced dad rock while senshi teaches mithrun how to make lasagna

i will try to tell you that french isn't that romantic actually but then you will have to remind me that orelsan literally has a song that goes "qu'est ce que j'irais faire au paradis quand tu t'endors près de moi ? qu'ils le donnent à d'autres, le paradis, je n'en voudrais pas"

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ
