So we all know Aramis as- well, Aramis, right? But all I've been thinking about is how technically his name is René.

Aramis is just an "alias." And that thought has been plaguing me. How did he get it- why doesn't he go by René anymore, if he ever did? I've never read the books, but for all my google searching I can't find an answer. And what does that, combined with my bbc show fixated brain result in...

Well, a lovely little headcanon of course! We know Aramis grew up with his mother in the brothel, at least for a little while. So I like to think that she named him Aramis. Maybe she never got it put on a birth certificate- because of the lack of a father or her profession or what have you.

But then Aramis' father comes to take him away, and from what I recall he was more well off. Definitely of higher class than a prostitute in the eyes of 17th century France. His children would have a birth certificate. And because I am an avid lover of Aramis' mother, and a hater of his father, the man definitely wouldn't see "Aramis" as a "fitting" name. So when he gets the legal side all sorted- our beloved Aramis is actually named René, under the law at least.

And Aramis would hate it- not only would suddenly being called something totally different be weird, but Aramis loves his mother. He loves the name she gave him.

Which is why we know him as Aramis. As soon as he was out from under his father's thumb, René was gone and Aramis was back. He signed up for the Musketeers under that name- legal papers be damned. It's Aramis' own way of showing his love for his mother, while also speaking out against his father.

He was never René. He was always Aramis.

in terror, four lieutenants; in t3m, four musketeers. Conclusion?

conclusion - same as always: destiny.

but wait oh christ okay. they even kinda fit...

you've got the og trio of

Wet Pathetic Loser

Deeply Religious Guy

Fancy Lad

which ig would make dundy... d'artagnan?? no. no oh god ok. listen. d'artagnan is jopson im afraid:

1. has a deeply homoerotic father/son relationship with a suicidal alcoholic

2. is actually kinda obsessed with him tbh

3. doesn't really start out as One Of Them, has to wait quite some time to get promoted

4. big part of the fandom actually ships him with little aka our athos

it makes sense you gotta believe me it does it does

#it absolutely doesn't #idk who dundy could be tbh... #ig if you squinted reeeeeally hard you could make him into a quasi mordaunt #since little is our athos equivalent #(that should honestly be crozier but for the sake of making our three musketeers/three lieutenants parallel lets go with little) #and the way little and dundy end up... look dundy is the only surviving officer of erebus. #gore and fitzjames die because life sucks but fairholme's death is arguably crozier's fault #and since in this strange parallel world athos is apparently split into crozier and little... #and since a very popular fandom headcanon is that little is the one to ultimately kill dundy.... #i have no idea where im going with this and with all my love to irving #imagining him as an aramis equivalent made me throw up in my mouth a little. #i guess aramis would have to be an insane combination of irving and hickey?? so ig he should kill uhh himself? shit omg wait #he does have a SA in the books..... #oh yeah it's all coming together #(<-lies. this makes no fucking sense) #pizza you've sent my mind into a spiral of eternal damnation im grasping at straws to make some ✨parallels✨ #unfortunately im like a vampire in this case. #if you throw at me a bunch of potential parallels i cannot move a muscle until ive found counted and picked them all up #i hate it here #im not even tagging it this post is fucking shameful pathetic and desperate #and yeah hodgson is porthos im afraid deal with that #ask

was taking some notes down on my copy of T3M last night, and was reminded that book!Aramis canonically writes poetry, so now I will be thinking of bbc!Aramis doing the same.

Some headcanons about it:

He started writing poems for Isabel when they were sappy horny teens in love. He'd write the sappiest, most flowery and romantic verses to her and recite them to her while they lay in his father's sprawling gardens in a field of flowers.

He stopped for a few years, after Isabel was taken away (as he thought) and he ran away from home, because it hurt too much to try. He started again a few months after meeting Porthos.

He wrote short verses for Porthos but never really showed them to him. Porthos found out accidentally and thought it was about one of Aramis' mistresses, which Aramis didn't correct because he was embarrassed.

He doesn't actually write poetry for his mistresses. Not even for Adele. He may quote poetry to them (Shakespeare for example) but he only writes his own about the people closest to his heart (Porthos and Athos, and later Anne). He's wrote a platonic one for Constance too! She keeps it tucked inside her favourite book.

He's super shy about reciting any of them out loud, or even showing them to the individual they're meant for (except Constance, because with her it wasn't romantic, so he felt way more comfortable).

He has an entire notebook filled with the most romantic, heart-aching, pining poems about Anne. He shows her only after he becomes First Minister, because he really thought those where the things he'd never be allowed to tell her.

Waxes poetic when he's drunk, and out of the four Inseparables, he has the lowest alcohol tolerance (yes, even lower than little d'Artagnan!), so it's... a spectacle.

We already know what is like to kiss D'Artagnan but how about kissing Aramis?😍

Ooh! Hope you like it!

Kissing Aramis would include:

•the minute he decides he’s going to kiss you everything changes- the whole world just sinks to the two of you. It’s like no one else exists. He’s so confident, Aramis knows how to kiss, he’s assured and confident- it rolls off him in waves, and that excites you! Excitement underpins every kiss with Aramis, even if the kiss itself may be given in sometimes sad or worrying situations.

•and his eyes, they’re intense, they’re dark and warm and full of a whole promise that you absolutely cannot resist!

•his hands slip round your waist, they’re large and strong as they tug your body close and slip up your back- one hand slips into your hair and scratches your scalp softly.

•and then slowly, oh impossibly slowly, for all of time has trickled back to a snail pace, his lips, those soft, plump cushions come into contact with yours.

•it’s hot, right from the get go he’s in charge, he’s setting the pace and speed, he’s the one that’s leading the kiss. And it’s breathtaking. Aramis is a phenomenal kisser!

•it’s a conversation of lust and passion, and you melt into it every single time he kisses you! Your hands slip onto his chest and feel the pounding of his heart under your palms, the heat from his body rolls into yours. He’s solid and real and insistent! His facial hair, that well groomed, beautiful hair, tickles your face…just as it will go on to tickle your neck when he eventually starts to kiss down your neck, as he invariably does.

•there is no such thing as a short kiss with Aramis. Even the shortest of pecks lasts a little while. A kiss means more than simply lust or a desire to put your lips together, oh yes, a kiss is a message, it has a special meaning! Whether it’s a good morning kiss, a I missed you kiss, a please don’t leave me kiss, a forgive me kiss, a you look so beautiful kiss, every kiss conveys a message, and you get that message loud and clear every time!

•and every kiss is like the first. Everytime his lips meet yours, setting off an explosion of fireworks in your body, you’re swept away in the intensity of the passion!

[thorin-is-a-cuddler]

For as much as I can see a rivalry between d'Artagnan and Aramis for approval from their older friends, at the same time, I have to admit that, if they were real and were like their adaptation versions (especially the ones that make Aramis calmer, more grounded), I'd want Aramis' approval, as well. xD Imagine Aramis resting a hand on your head or shoulder as he utters a prayer or blessing over you, or gentle words of reassurance delivered with a half smile, and so on. Musketeer found family! =)

This is such a lovely idea. :,) I bet d'Art would have liked that as well, he really tries to gain Aramis' affection after all, but Aramis never gives this to him. ;___; Musketeers found family will forever be my favorite thing!!

One other thing I totally need is an adaption that comes up with how the other three met. Like we've seen d'Art meeting the guys about threebaziliion times now. But how did they actually become the Inseperables? *siiigh*

(And I adore every single one of the adaption versions of Aramis, from Richard Chamberlain to Romain Duris, they are all a little wrong compared to the book but at the same time, they all represent such vital parts of Aramis, if they were all to go together we'd have quite a good representation. But the calmer, kinder, gentler Aramis we are often met with is definitely one of my favorites, so I too want half-smiles and head-pats :,D)

[asterbats]

Starfallification GTI edition... It's these guys....

Design/Story/Headcanon rambles below!

Virizion

Name: Aramis

Pronouns: She/It

Design Ramblings:

-Her colors are a little dull to imply a sense of melancholy. Kind of a hint that she's not exactly healthy.

-Has a battle scar on her face from one of its escapades pre-GTI

-Has a friendship necklace with Keldeo. She only starts to wear it again in the postgame.

Headcanons/Tweaks:

-Doesn't go by Aramis until far later. Insists on the more distant "Virizion" until the Great Glacier arc

-Because this is an alternate timeline where humans went extinct, the Swords of Justice never became a steady group, so there is no formal quartet. Aramis does not know her own Terrakion and Cobalion.

-She does, however, know Keldeo, of course. There was no sort of mentor/student relationship between the two, they were childhood friends and used to spar frequently. Aramis was a shy child while Keldeo was more bold, so he helped bring her out of her shell. The two had a "he talks enough for the both of us" sort of dynamic. He infodumps and it listens.

-Has always struggled with deep self esteem issues, as she doesn't feel she's particularly likable.

-It actually did know about Keldeo's entercard capabilities, which was how it recognized Umbreon and Espeon as entercard users back in the day. It was very disturbed to see Keldeo's entercard markings in the Great Glacier.

-Didn't expect to find Noodle and Parker as enjoying as they were. She honestly expected to see Parker as a pest. But she found them more and more endearing as time went on and eventually sought out their company on her own very consistently. She’s in a QPR with them.

-She's very expressionless and aloof, which leads Pokemon to assume that she has no real feelings, especially as she rejects all of them. She was like this even before Keldeo sent the letter, but it got worse afterwards, of course. She's very blunt and honest as well, not seeing the point in sugarcoating anything. Because of this, she gets along well with Espeon.

-Feels the most conflicted about their child, as its worried that they will resent her for being aloof and avoid her. Or that they would see her for "what she truly was". But their child loves and looks up to her a ton, which does make her feel better.

Emolga

Name: Parker (Insists on Emolga)

Pronouns: He/It

Design Notes:

-So when I was younger, I always figured that Emolga kinda presented himself as a superhero? Because he swoops in to save Dunsparce in Stompstump Peak, he always sticks up for the little guy, and he's very vain and outspoken. The wings also lended well to that, since they look like a cape. So I wanted to lean into that!

-He's mixed with both Theivul (for the mask, tail, and extra brown color) and Boltund (for the wavy fur and eyes).

Story/Headcanons:

-When Parker was younger, it was abandoned by its parents, and no one was willing to take the orphan in, so he had to steal food to survive.

-It was every Pokemon for itself, so Parker never grew close to other Pokemon. Due to his small size and power, he was usually harassed for what little items he had, so he never trusted anyone.

-When he was a teenager, however, he ran into Noodle. The little snake was being bullied for their money by another group of Pokemon, and was frantically trying to empty his pockets. Emolga typically would have just ignored it to save his own skin... but watching the Pokemon mock Dunsparce and berate him for not having more food, and the sheer desperation and tears in the snake's face, something in him snapped, and he swooped in to defend the Dunsparce, fighting off the Pokemon. He intended to leave soon after, but Noodle insisted on taking care of his wounds and giving the Emolga a place to stay. After that, he and Noodle were best friends.

-Parker stopped stealing after that incident- it didn't want to stay in that lifestyle anymore after seeing how honest Noodle was. Unfortunately, this meant going hungry, so he would often go into Mystery Dungeons to get supplies for them- eventually becoming a stronger fighter for it. This inspired Noodle to want to be a treasure hunter themself, although they got lost very easily- Parker would have to look for them more often than not. Not that he didn't take pride in that... he let that ego go to his head. He loved providing for the smaller Pokemon, sure, but he also craved the notoriety.

-Holds a grudge very easily. You call him a rat and he will remember that decades down the line. He finds it hard to forgive

-Despite his size, he knows how to impose himself. Its got a naturally loud voice and he usually perches himself on high ledges so he stands over people.

-He has a massive heart, though. He adores his partners and will lay himself on the line for them. He also fawns over their child a lot.

-Was the closest to Eris out of the gang for a while, besides Kiran. It taught Eris how to handle his electricity and take care of his new body properly.

Dunsparce

Name: Noodle

Pronouns: They/He

Design Notes:

-Wears a reunion cape given to them by Kiran so they don't get lost as often!

Headcanon/Story notes:

-Was always picked on for being a weaker Pokemon. Because of this, they were rather withdrawn from others, and never put up a fight against larger Pokemon- they just didn't want any trouble.

-Took Parker into their home once he saved them from a group of Pokemon that was harassing them, and the two became fast friends. Parker jokingly called them a "noodle" because of how wobbly they'd get when they were scared, and the name stuck.

-Parker inspired them to want to become an explorer... but unfortunately, they never had the strength for it. He would go into dungeons on his own, and Parker would have to swoop in and save him.

-At first, they admired Aramis for its strength, and thought that if they could only become stronger, they would be liked as well as she was. But when they both joined Paradise, they broke her walls down, and saw her for who she truly was- warts and all. And they appreciated her more and more every day for it.

-Actually fell into a more strategizing/organizer role as the events of the game went on. They came into their own as a fighter and explorer and can hold their own in a fight now, but ended up finding a lot of comfort in taking care of others.

-It was their idea to adopt their kid. The trio had found the egg in a dungeon and Noodle pushed and pushed to raise the child as their own.

#sorry to everyone who requested a different character last year. i just really wanted to do these guys... #child has no name yet btw which is why theyre referred to as such. theyre a larvesta tho :3 #also. can you tell who my favorite is LMAO #virizion #emolga #dunsparce #pmd #pokemon #pkmnart #gti #gates to infinity #starfall #canon characters

[kajaono]

No one:

Absolut no one:

Me: Excuse me, do you have time to talk about my headcanon that Aramis is secretly gay, and him sleeping with all these women is him overcompensating his homosexuality? And this also explains his difficult relationship with religion?

Duckvember - Crafty, Loved and Professional Duck (Ducks) - Donald Duck and The Three Musketeers - Daffy Duck as Scarlet Pumpernickel

I drew in a hurry and sorry I didn't get to add the background. Also just to say that I will be doing two more Duckvember related themes and that wraps up my drawings with this year's Duckvember.

I wanted to do this for a long time, but for some reason I didn't get around to doing it, but I want to do themes related to The Three Musketeers, one of my favorite pieces of literature that I've read, and I have some great ideas about it. Yes, the first drawing is a redraw from the cover of the book or comic called "Ducktargnan and the Three Musketeers" written by Guido Martina and drawn by Pier Lorenzo De Vita in 1957. Yes, even though this comic is a parody of the given piece written by Alexandre Dumas (The Elder, Not the Son), it's still good to see Donald fitting in as a musketeer (otherwise he's d'Artagnan, while his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie are Athos , Porthos and Aramis). So I drew Donald the Musketeer sparring with his nephews also sparring. Yes, they are professional swordsmen, that is, professional musketeers. XD

The second and third drawings are related to Looney Tunes Daffy Duck from one of my favorite classic shorts called Scarlet Pumpernickel directed by Chuck Jones from March 4, 1950. Even though it was a parody of Baroness Orczy's novel called "The Scarlet Pimpernel", Daffy really enjoyed the role. So I drew Daffy along with my student Plucky Duck from Tiny Toons who also plays Scarlet Pumpernickel and wants to be just like Daffy. In my headcanon Plucky is Daffy's nephew. The next drawing is of Daffy as Scarlet Pumpernickel with the Lady Melissa he saved. By the way, it was recently Melissa Duck's birthday (December 1st) so I wish her a happy birthday. And I love this loving couple.

The following drawing is like a redraw of the scene from the 2004 movie "Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers" where Daisy Duck ends up kissing Donald the Musketeer. Yes, Daisy plays lady-in-waiting and maid of honor for Queen Minnie, while Donald is a musketeer along with Mickey and Goofy. Even though it was a parody of the work of the same name by Alexandre Dumas and it was far from the original, I enjoyed the movie, and I love the love couple between Donald and Daisy who turned out great in that movie.

I hope you like these drawings and these ideas. Feel free to like and reblog this. And please don't use the same ideas from me without my permission and don't use without mentioning me.

[the-girl-who-used-to-write]

So...I watched the 1993 Three Musketeers movie last night and I had some brain rot. So, to all of my lost boys friends (especially @ghoulgeousimmaculate, who convinced me to publish this in the first place)...

THE LOST BOYS AS MUSKETEERS

Starting off easy...

DAVID AS ATHOS

The defacto leader of their group of misfits, I see David and Athos as parallels of each other and NOT just because they are both played by Kiefer Sutherland (although that definitely helped.)

Athos and David are both passionate men but they are very serious and stoic. Both have been hurt in the past and while I think Athos is definitely more of a romantic from what we see, David did have a love interest in the unmade Lost Boys prequel.

Athos also takes on a big-brother esque role to the other Musketeers, especially D'Artagnan. David is very much the 'big brother' of the boys if you consider them to be brothers, he's the leader and he is the one who (I think) tries to keep them in line when Max isn't there.

Athos is also a drinker and you cannot tell me that David probably doesn't enjoy a good drink from time to time rather than the blood. David is most definitely an alcohol snob.

DWAYNE AS ARAMIS

Aramis, much like Dwayne, is the hardest of the musketeers to get a read on to me. Maybe I think these two are similar because of the luscious hair.

I think the reason that I saw Dwayne and Aramis as similar are much to do with the fact that Aramis is a man who at his core is respectful, a lot more poetic and a lot more of a deeper thinker than the others, especially Porthos. We see that as much when they are talking about how they respectively woo girls, Porthos with kisses and Aramis with poetry and words of love. I personally always saw Dwayne as someone who could probably charm the pants off of anyone and I imagined him as being a silent film star before his turning (if we are making up our own backstories).

Aramis is also, arguably, the most respectful of the Musketeers. He reads final rites to those he kills (we see that in the fight with the Cardinal's guards) and he is less of a joker than someone like Porthos or even D'Artagnan. Something as simple as him being the one to encourage D'Artagnan to distribute the wealth among the poorer townsfolk when they rob the Cardinal's carriage.

Dwayne is very much a silent presence in the boys but with the way that the entire fandom headcanons him, he and Aramis have a lot in common. He's protective, he's loyal, he's an enforcer however he doesn't jump into fights for no reason, Dwayne is also a ladies' man (or at least he definitely used to be I think).

PAUL AS PORTHOS

I know Porthos and Paul are maybe the least similar in terms of looks but I think in terms of personality, these two have a lot in common.

Porthos is a drinker, Porthos is a player, Porthos enjoys a party and he is not afraid of a fight. If you look closely during the carousel scene in Lost Boys, Paul and Marko are the ones to first attack when the man goes for Dwayne. Paul and Porthos are both party animals who have probably engaged in more than one drunken brawl.

I think there is also a loyalty to Paul that we see in Porthos. Porthos always protects his Musketeer brothers and Paul goes to bat for the boys and others numerous times in the movie. if you read the final scene in the Emerson house in a certain way, Paul protects Laddie and Star from the Frog's, closing the door behind them and coming after the brothers, who were about to kill them.

Of course, Porthos also carries a lot of the humour of the movie and Paul is very much a joker. He is the light-hearted one of the boys it seems, he was the nicest according to Star in the novelisation and we see that he is also (along with Dwayne), the closest to Laddie, so context clues lead us to believe that he maybe one of the more fun boys to be around (not that they aren't all fun).

MARKO AS D'ARTAGNAN

This is something that Ghoulie can attest to but I messaged her yesterday saying that D'Artagnan in this movie reminded me of Michelangelo's David, or 'The Fallen Angel' by Alexandre Cabanel. Maybe this is partially the reason that I see him as a counterpart to Marko, the boy that looks like a renaissance painting come to life. It also helps that they both have a gorgeous head of curls.

This, in all honesty, was the easiest parallel for me. D'Artagnan is a young, roguish, reckless boy who doesn't always think before he acts and is very handsome and good with the ladies (and that's not me projecting, D'Artagnan literally has a guy after him because he 'romanced' his sister) (allegedly)

I just think he's very much like Marko. I always imagine that Marko was the youngest, even if he was turned before the other boys (I sometimes think Marko could have been a highwayman), I always see Marko as the youngest of the boys and considering D'Artagnan is the youngest of the Musketeers, I think it works.

Their reckless natures match each other well as well, Marko's most definitely does bike tricks like D'Artagnan does that thing with the horse where he jumps off and back onto it and they both run into danger. There's also a protectiveness though, a loyalty to those that they care about.

[thorin-is-a-cuddler]

There's something to be appreciated in book!Aramis being a stickler for etiquette: d'Artagnan did nearly cause trouble for a woman and, in the same incident, nearly got Aramis into terrible trouble, just by trying to be polite about the handkerchief thing. xD You know at least you could trust book!Aramis with your confidences. =) (I mean, he's still an utter disaster sometimes, all the same. xD)

That is a hundred percent sure, he's super secretive! Aramis has always been my favorite character because of his ambiguity really. On the one side, there is the etiquette, the secrecy, the self-chastising he deems necessarry bc of his weird religious fear. On the OTHER side, he makes nasty jokes about the queen's honor, turns into some sort of harpy when Porthos tells him off, fights two enemies at the same time without twitching and just his SMUGNESS when he fights with d'Artagnan over the tissue!! But whenever Athos is around, Aramis is a little different, more the shy sort (I always love it when Porthos makes fun of him then and Aramis basically shrinks to tinman size while Athos just smiles knowingly). It's just... he's so toooorn between doing what he thinks he should be doing and doing what he really likes and I will now not delve into all my thoughts on his sexuality BUT yes Aramis, precious Aramis, what a train wreck, really, total disaster just like you said. I don't know what sort of image he's trying to portray towards d'Artagnan to make it seem like he's superior - which he isn't that's the whole point - but he really needs to stop it, it's embarrassing :D (just thinking of the moment he wants to join the Jesuites or the moment he tells d'Art that he's turned i don't know 38 or something and d'Art is like: now hold on I am 38, this can't be possible :,D)

To sum my stream of consciousness thoughts up: Aramis notices that d'Art is superior to him, simply bc he doesn't try to be anything he's not. Athos loves this in d'Artagnan. And there are a hundred reasons why I think d'Art and Aramis can't stand each other, but Athos' love is in my opinion one of them. d'Art gets so much of it, basically taking over the role of the youngest of the group, and Aramis keeps his distance to him. (Only in d'Art's last ever line in the last book is the rivalry and disdain between them really acknowledged, it hit me so hard in the gut omg i googled for days afterwards trying to deal with the pain.)
