Big thanks to Neon for throwing a gorgeous photo I could absolutely not resist ✨

I suddenly find myself in the mood to draw some musketeers. My rough sketches never look anything like the final product!

edit: ...and the swords are on the wrong side. *face palm

Eva Green as Milady de Winter in the new trailer to The Musketeers

Started watching the Musketeers (2014, on Prime) recently bc I had a lot of free time on a roadtrip across the US. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it- I love it period-pieces/historical stuff, but I tend to unintentionally have a specific taste in stuff that I'll continue watching on my own time.

But I am not exaggerating when I say that I don't have the words to convey just how much I absolutely love the show.

I'll probably bullet-list my favourite bits about it some other day, but I'm watching season 1 again, and I thought i should share my favourite line from the show.

Context: a woman (Comtesse) who advocates for women's education is being put on trial bc 17th France has a toxic patriarchy, but it particularly stems from the King's advisor (played by Peter Capaldi- I know! : D ) in this show. The Queen of France comes in right as the woman is sentenced to death for "being a witch and consorting with the devil", and essentially pardons her.

Comtesse stands to leave the court, and looks the king's advisor directly in the eye.

Comtesse: I have never consorted with the Devil unti this moment. I am looking at him.

And then- completely outside of Comtesse, the king's advisor starts choking on poison lol

Fic Update

For Milady's Protectors, I haven't posted a new chapter, but I added new stuff to chapters 2 & 3. I've started to get a better feel for where I want to go with it.

Let me know if you have any title ideas. I'm not good with titles and am not happy with this one.

Going through a lot of personal stuff right now, very emotional and stressful. So kudos, comments, messages, really any sort of love toward my stories will be superextraapprectiated. Thanks.

so......you liked bridgerton?

here are my recommendations of tv shows, movies and books that gives me the 'bridgerton vibe' (set in period/regency eras) and will hopefully sustain you until s2 drops (feel free to reblog with your own recommendations!)

watch:

Emma, [2020] josh o'connor is iconic in this

Pride & Prejudice [2005] pretty self explanatory

Bride & Prejudice [2004] pride and prejudice but make it indian, elijah from the originals is wickham!

Mr Malcolm’s List [2019] a short film based on the book (see below) but a movie is now in production!

The Musketeers [2014-16] BBC TV series, the best musketeers adaptation in my opinion, fun fact- phoebe stars in an episode!

Sanditon [2019-] I personally don't like this but a lot of people in this fandom have mentioned this :/

Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham [2001]- the title track for this movie will be in s2 and it’s my all time fav bollywood movie! Available on Netflix!
