so simon mirren one of the writers of versailles posted this and im very !!! what is it !! who can it be !! it's unlikely it will be something louis xiv related although i would be surprised if it is!

i need a historical fashion girlie to tell me what era this is.

that being said he has tagged the versailles cast as well as helen mirren and bella thorne which makes me curious. but also he's tagged some random versailles fan accounts and the château so maybe he just wanted the word out a bit more.

Atlas Hey! Stop forcing yourself to drink that- It’s empty.

Taryn: It tasted like garbage.

Atlas: No shit, that’s Miller for you. I’m sorry about Kai.

Taryn: Don’t apologize for my brother, he’s grown.

Atlas: Yeah but…

Taryn: It’s like… You try to do something kind for someone and they’re so unappreciative.

Atlas: It’s not your fault, you know? Kai has his moments, he’s probably grumpy he can’t be around his PC or something.

[ microphone feedback ]

Taryn: Atlas, why are you being nice to me?

Atlas: What? I can’t hear you!

Taryn: It’s all so confusing…

Atlas: Do you want to talk outside??

Taryn: No, it’s nothing, let’s just enjoy the music!

Gum: [ nervously ] H-Heeeeey Oasis Springs! We’re Valentina, it’s a pleasure to meet your acquaintance again.. I dunno what the fuck I’m saying anyways our next song is a cover song, we hope you like it!

Atlas: Let’s get your mind off of things?

Taryn: Sure.

Gum: Brown eyes / Not many things I'm haunted by / I just don't want to be alone / I take your love you take my life / Dark angel keeper of my soul / I know it's me you want / You know it's you I want, too

Taryn: Stop. I’m sorry.

Atlas: Taryn? What’s wrong?

Taryn: I need some air.

Atlas: Wait-

Taryn: No, you can stay. I-I’ll be back.

"On the field, I saw a man, young like we were. He carried his brother in a sack over his shoulder. He told me he had promised their mother to take him home. Would you do that for me? I would, but you? I do not know."

i love insane gay people

#me #versailles 2015 #interview with the vampire #iwtv #monchevy #loustat #look i know it's problematic to have philippe and the chevalier be as fucked up and toxic as they are #bc they are the only gay rep on the show and theyre treated like a spectacle compared to all the het pairings #but consider this:#they are the most interesting part of the show #also love the irony that in some ways lestat is more justified here #since philippe didn't actually fuck thomas he's just going along with chev bc he's The Drama #but also #the day before this scene lestat asked for an open relationship #so...in some ways he is not justified at all #i am rotating these bitches in my mind so much

Vampires being Southern confederates in the American pop culture tradition makes so much sense to me logically. Not saying that I don't believe it's propaganda, because it absolutely is. But planter vampires and confederate vampires (Jasper, Damon, Lestat, Louis, Bill Compton) make a lot of sense in the American context, as much as aristocratic and “Old World” vampires make sense in the British context.

If vampires are inherently Gothic, then vampires must symbolize and personify the vestiges of a long-gone past – one which only simmers to life from far below the surface when it’s time to reveal the horrors, or the romance, of what is usually an oft-forgotten history. In 19th-century Britain, through vampire short stories and novellas, and later Dracula, vampires evoked the (misunderstood and misappropriated) time of the Goths. This, in turn, brought to readers’ minds images of towering castles, the superstition of Eastern Europe, and the so-called barbarism of the Old World, that which was made to appear antiquated in its monstrosity and secret imperialist desires. (*sarcastic voice*) The Old World was so at odds with enlightened, modern, industrializing Britain! It’s no wonder that vampires in British literature took the forms of counts, noblemen, and princes – they were the conspiring, powerful leaders of the Old World, or the medieval world, or some forgotten pre-Industrial feudal world.

And if we are to apply this concept of what vampires should represent for the United States, it only makes perfect sense that vampires would be planters and confederates. Slavers, planters, and confederate fighters also evoke the Old America, conjuring images of Southern chivalry, the great Antebellum, and the humble pioneers of this free nation of God and goodness and prosperity! And then the confederates got their ass beat really bad. And they could only hold on to these romantic images of that former “honour and glory” through propagation of the Lost Cause myth. What better vehicle to wield this romanticisation of, yunno, the defense of chattel slavery than through vampire softbois?! Immortal beings who symbolize the survival and resilience of the Antebellum South through time. Why don’t we make them hot guys who were just protecting the South in our pop culture? Sure. If the vestiges of America’s long-gone past are slavery and genocide and, uh, chivalric Southern honour, then vampires do a pretty effective job of reminding us of this horrifying/romantic (you choose here) history. Spoiler alert: it’s horrifying.

Cette épée avait longtemps fait l’ambition de Porthos. Porthos aurait donné dix années de sa vie pour posséder cette épée.

-CHAPITRE VII. L’INTÉRIEUR DES MOUSQUETAIRES

The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas (trans. Pevear)

Athos is haunted as fuck (which is my favorite type of character), and this whole thing with Porthos and this sword is going to rattle inside of my brain for a minimum of a week. the phrasing of it. oughhh. I love this book.

#the three musketeers #les trois mousquetaires #athos #porthos #god GOD what a fucking character statement #anyway athos can have some grey/white hair as a treat for me because we're close in age and my hair is starting to go white lmao #salt and pepper baby lets go #its been a minute since ive done a color illustration like this and oh boy have i missed it #this was. a several days long project. i did it on a huge canvas. i halved the size (i always do) for posting so #unfortunately. the smaller details on the sword and lace can't be zoomed in on but i did have a lot of fun with it #(i did include some of the sword detailing in the close up crop.#we're ignoring period accuracy for looks. but also we're always ignoring period accuracy for looks #and because trying to look up period accurate fashion has been. difficult. stop showing me versaille court fashion google)

luke in his early thirties, taking on more a role in running summerhall now that the kids are getting older and more independent. always dressed in the finest clothing money can buy and reminding everyone that it is he that holds the title of prince of summerhall,,, bewitching everyone because he has common coloring but his mother’s beauty

#i have this vision of luke looking neither masculine nor feminine he just has to gentle unique look that comes from being valyrian and andal #kinda think the men in the show versailles

a monchevy spin-off would be interesting ngl but i think it wouldn't realistically work? personally id prefer a spin-off after season three since monchevy would be at their most healthy then. they worked through so much to get to where they ended.

but i don't think that would work without the rest of the characters, especially louis. one of the main storylines in the show, and one of main parts of phillipe's storylines, was coming to terms with the fact his place was now at versailles and by louis' side. phillipe was well aware that his life wasn't his own but instead tied to the court, louis and the politics. phillipe finally accepted this fate in the last season and reconciled with louis - which also means he likely would be back as an advisor amongst the ministers. so it seems quite hard to imagine a monchevy spin-off without any of the other characters.

that being said of course there could be a spin-off from before louis decided to build the palace. i think it would be interesting to see monchevy's life before they moved to versailles, but at the same time I don't doubt their relationship would just replicate monchevy in s1-s2 (where they were at their most unhealthy stage).

idk, it's really interesting to think about as a monchevy spin-off is probably the most requested thing in the fandom. but i do struggle in seeing how this would work without louis or the other characters? but i get it, it's not an historically accurate show so the writers can basically do anything.

Prev post made me mad as hellllll remembering an ex mutual who was saying that "ough marcille has sooo much more chemistry with laios than falin cause falin is DEAD she has so little screentime" like why don't you explode girl

#🗨️#also arguing that marcille is definitely attracted to men as if the one “”man“” she's attracted to isnt that dubiously gendered succubus #AND in that panel she's doing the gay ass rosalie face like in rose of versailles #jokes aside though marcille consistently shows disdain for men and whatever weird habit falin has she finds it adorable #and on the contrary finds it disgusting when laios does the same exact thing
