It's Alexandre Dumas's 220th birthday today, so let's all get together with our ragtag group of swashbuckling friends with impeccable fashion senses and drug a rich kid in a underground island lair in order to stage a kidnapping so you can take revenge on the men who wrongly imprisoned you for EXACTLY 14 years!

My current trend with fanfictions writing is

Person A ends up in a situationship with Person B. Person B is the child of Person A's first love.

Of course, this NOT accidental.

In adaptations of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, the character of Haydée is almost always removed. The unabridged story is very long and it does make sense to streamline some things, but I think that versions which remove Haydée (especially if they include a second romance or substantial reunion with Mercédès) lose some of the point of the story.

In the original, dastardly deeds and betrayal by Fernand (now Monsieur de Morcef) are brought to light with Haydée as a witness. His wife (Mercédès) and son (Albert) flee France and he kills himself after they depart. Even though Mercédès is now theoretically free to pursue a relationship with the Count of Monte Cristo (formerly Edmond Dantès), and he knows of her change in circumstance and could try to follow her, instead he looks upon Haydée, his ward (now a young woman), and realizes there might be a “second Mercédès” and he might be happy with Haydée instead. She’s already half in love with him and he hadn’t noticed before because he was too caught up in the idea of having lost Mercédès. She's an adult by 19th century standards by the end of the book, and might even be an adult by modern ones at that point.

Part of the point is that through the act of single-mindedly fixing himself upon revenge against those who threw him in prison for the crime of holding a letter and for daring to love a woman who was coveted by her cousin, Edmond Dantès died in the Chateau D’Ilf prison and the Count of Monte Cristo rose in his place, like a strange vampire. Edmond who loved Mercédès is gone, irrevocably, and the things which could have satisfied him are likewise lost. Instead there is only the Count, who was only pursuing the cold comfort of vindication and success, measured by the wreckage of his enemies and the unhappiness of their children. He sees her one more time, after learning of a terrible death he did not intend, which nevertheless stems from his machinations. Mercédès, also, has been changed into someone who couldn’t be happy with Edmond and makes no moves towards the Count.

Haydée then, is essential, because whether or not they pursue a relationship beyond that of rescuer and ward, she represents the possibility of new connections, the idea that the Count can be happy even though poor Edmond cannot.

A story which reunites him with Mercédès is one which pretends that the way he was broken will fit the (lesser but still present) ways she was altered, with more than twenty years and completely disparate lives in the gap between them. It’s not a bad story, but it’s not the one the original book was telling.

To be the Count is to be someone who is no longer trying to reclaim the past, but to avenge it. Eventually he becomes someone who is ready to move forward, and letting go of Mercédès while looking forward to the possibility of a different relationship with Haydée is part of that.

Albert de morcef is so damn funny. Get kidnapped by bandits -> happily sleep wrapped up in a borrowed coat -> grumble about being awoken -> flirt w/ the count of monte cristo -> light a cigar by your kidnapper’s torch light -> go back to the party

#He’s like the perfect emulation of french aristocracy im stunned #tcomc #the count of monte cristo

ok y'all ready for this

The Count of Monte Cristo, but as a YA Fantasy trilogy

(note, this is still all just concept and many fundamental details will probably change a bit if I ever actually write this)

The story takes place among a series of island nations, which had until about twenty years ago all been at war with each other. The current peace is strained and reluctant, but it’s the only thing the younger generation knows. Contributing to that strain is the fact that magic appears to be growing stronger.

Anyone can learn magic, and usually magic practitioners train for years to learn how to properly draw on the spirits of the natural world, but lately more and more untrained people seem to be accidentally performing feats of great magic. It’s as if the nature spirits are pressing right up against the boundary of the spirit world into reality, just waiting to force their way out.

While this is a cause for worry, the worry is alleviated by the one prime rule of magic: spirits cannot physically effect the bodies of humans, just as humans cannot physically interact with the spirits. Magic cannot be used to kill, hurt, heal, or enhance any human in any way, except indirectly through natural forces.

That is, until a holiday across the ocean leads Valentine to meet Haydee, and the Count of Monte Cristo. Haydee performs a feat that breaks the prime rule of magic, putting to question everything Valentine thinks she knows. Something appears to be wrong in the spirit world, but with no way to investigate directly it’s almost impossible to discover what – or who – is causing it.

Over the course of the series Valentine and the other kids uncover a mystery that traces from them, to their parents, to the Count of Monte Cristo. Though he’s not a narrator of this story, readers familiar with the source material see the Count’s plans from the receiving end, throwing the kids’ lives into chaos before he ever steps into the limelight.

The story is split into three books and narrated by a rotating cast of limited perspective third person narrators. These include:

Valentine de Villefort, our lead narrator. She’s learning traditional magic from her grandfather, who’s paralyzed from illness. She’s shy and reserved and has trouble getting along with her father's new wife, but she hides a quiet intelligence and a desire to right the wrongs she sees. In a flashback scene we see her meet Max, a female soldier on leave from the navy, and the two fall in love.

Eugenie Danglars, the daughter of a banker who wishes more than anything to be an artist. She has trouble connecting with others, except through music. She’s trying to attend a music school along with her only close friend, Louise d’Armilly, but her father’s past seems to be standing in her way.

Albert de Morcef, the brash and headstrong son of a wealthy military man, who’s used to father’s connections and money solving all his problems. He's fiercely loyal to his friends and family, and genuinely tries to do the right thing, as long as he can figure out what that is. His parents are repeatedly trying to set him up with Eugenie, despite the two having no interest in each other.

Franz d’Epinay, one of Albert’s closest friends and an orphan, the sole heir to his family’s fortune after his father mysteriously died twenty years ago. He left [Paris] a few years back, but now Valentine’s family has offered to adopt him into their family line, a move that would restore his place in society (and make the Villefort’s look good)… if he can closure on his father's death, first.

‘Andrea’, a thief and a criminal working in a chain gang, under an assumed name, alongside their criminal buddy Caderousse. Before long, however, a mysterious benefactor pays off both debts, under the agreement that Andrea will travel to [Paris] to con their way into high society. Why? Andrea doesn’t know, but they’re not going to pass up this chance at a bigger score.

Haydee, the adopted daughter of the Count of Monte Cristo, who she met lost on the streets of a ruined nation. She tells everyone that she has amnesia, that she can’t remember where she comes from or who her parents were, but in reality that’s a lie to disguise her plan for revenge, against the man who betrayed her father, the king, and sold his nation out to his enemies.

#now i need to write it #actually now i need a working title #count of monte cristo #monte cristo YA fantasy #ive had to plot this whole thing backwards which has been exhausting let me tell you #but im finally at the point where i can plot it frontwords and its such a relief

Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, Alexandre Dumas (tome 1)

Dans ce premier tome (parce que oui, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo c’est deux fois 700 pages), on fait la connaissance du jeune Edmond Dantès. À 19 ans à peine, il va passer de marin à capitaine du bateau sur lequel il est employé, et projette d’épouser la belle Mercédès, qui l’aime en retour. Mais c’est sans compter sur la jalousie et la cupidité des hommes… Très vite, Edmond se retrouve en prison, accusé de bonapartisme — et donc de trahison. Lorsqu’il parvient à s’évader une quinzaine d’années plus tard, c’est un tout autre homme. Aux cachots, il a rencontré un vieillard qui l’a instruit, et qui lui a laissé une immense fortune en guise d’héritage. Dès lors, Edmond disparaît, et le comte de Monte-Cristo prend sa place. Il apprend que son père est mort, que Mercédès s’est mariée avec un autre, et que les hommes qui l’ont trahi ont fait fortune. Monte-Cristo jure alors de se venger, et peu importe le temps et les ressources que cela lui demandera…

Ça fait pas mal de temps que je n’avais pas lu de littérature classique ; en fait, il y a presque un mois j’ai fait un super conseil à une super cliente, et bim, le lendemain j’ouvrais Monte-Cristo. Ce gros pavé de 700 pages m’aura duré trois semaines (rien que ça).

C’était super, j’ai vraiment adoré ! J’ai redécouvert avec joie les classiques, qui n’ont décidément rien à voir avec les romans contemporains (même s’ils peuvent être géniaux aussi), ne serait-ce que par le style !

Le Comte de Monte-Cristo est vraiment très dense, et il s’y passe énormément de choses. Parfois ça traîne un peu en longueur (notamment la partie où Monte-Cristo est en Italie et rencontre Albert de Morcef et Franz d’Épinay) ; et parfois, j’en avais un peu assez d’être dessus si longtemps. Mais ça valait vraiment le coup. Dumas est un auteur que j’apprécie beaucoup, même si je ne l’ai pas énormément lu ; c’est un écrivain archi prolifique, et très très ancré dans les faits historiques et la politique de son époque ! Ainsi, non seulement on a un très bon roman, mais aussi une bonne idée de ce qu’était la France en 1815, entre Napoléon et le roi qui se disputaient le pouvoir ! Et parmi tant d’autres choses, on retrouve aussi cette « mode » de l’orientalisme très en vogue en Europe au XIXe siècle ; on découvre également les rouages de cette haute-société parisienne, et c’est très intéressant.

Je pense que je vais laisser un peu retomber ma lecture avant d’entamer le deuxième tome (j’ai besoin de faire une petite pause). Mais ça me rassure, parce que j’avais peur de m’être lassée des classiques ; ou pire, de ne pas pouvoir conjuguer lecture de classiques (qui sont plus longues que mes lectures d’ordinaire) et travail en librairie. Mais c’est carrément faisable !

hello humans , i’m siri ( i was half asleep when i chose alias but now ... we’re marrying to it , it’s okay , we’re okay . ) ( and i just realized how bad it was to greet you all as humans and then say i’m siri , wow ) ignore my monologue here to be honest . moooving on , under the cut i’ll write some info on my child rhett barlowe .

matthew daddario. cis male. he/him. ／ rhett barlowe just pulled up blasting bruises by lewis capaldi — that song is so them ! you know, for a twenty-seven year old actor, i’ve heard they’re really -reserved, but that they make up for it by being so +loyal. if i had to choose three things to describe them, i’d probably say drinking black coffee like it’s water, runs before the sun is out, worn out book folded into his back pocket . here’s to hoping they don’t cause too much trouble ! ( siri, 21+, cst, she/her )

career claims: henry cavill

BASICS

FULL NAME: rhett barlowe

NICKNAMES: none

AGE: 27

GENDER: cis male

BIRTHDATE: may , 1st

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: heterosexual

PLACE OF BIRTH: cheshire , england

OCCUPATION: actor

HEIGHT: 6′3′’

WEIGHT: 203 lbs

BACKGROUND

born to a paralegal and a gym owner , rhett’s the youngest of 4 boys . they were pretty much like having 4 tornados running around the house :// bless mama barlowe’s heart . overall a very upper-middle class home .

they were all athletic since they were kids , they all played rugby and two of his brothers made it pro and another one is a professional soccer player . rhett was a fan of taekwondo himself , winning tournaments and such .

when he was 13 , a guy saw him at a tournament and reached out to his mom telling him that she should take him to auditions .

he made a few commercials at first , then escalated to work as an extra in films or non-credited roles until he got the role of albert de morcef in the count of montecristo . then he played the hunter in little red riding hood and teseo in immortals . sort of what put him in hollywood’s radar was getting the lead in the tudors .

now what put him in the world’s radar was being casted for man of steel . there were mixed reactions to it , some people thought he wasn’t muscular enough to play superman , or that the actor had to be american , or that his work wasn’t even that remarkable to begin with .

but he put in the work and pulled it off , so much that in following movies batman vs superman and justice league , he did as much as upstage household names . then he did mission impossible and a month ago came out the witcher in netflix .

HEADCANONS

RHETT IN A NUTSHELL: here

he’s that henry interview where he said that sometimies he wouldn’t even read his lines and just grunt for the whole team just to turn to each other like: ....i don’t think he’s saying anything else lol

you know how ppl in tumblr say marvel found the actual avengers and just made them play themselves aka chris evans being captain america or whatever ? that’s rhett as geralt lol

thick english accent

lowkey an avid gamer and reader . would often carry a book with him everywhere but nowadays it’s probably a script he has tucked into his back pocket , which is probably not the smartest way to carry potential hollywood secrets but oh well

can hold a fairly decent conversation in 7 languages .

probably would’ve majored in like ... history , or gone to the olympics for taekwondo had he not turn into an actor

not a man of many words lol

big fan of sunrises , usually goes running before the sun is up just to catch them

definitely likes dogs more than people

WANTED CONNECTIONS

everything ??

i’m a sucker for first love plots x , the fluff and the headcanons and just everything

give me the type of friends who get on his nerves but he still , very on the downlow , appreciates lol aka the jaskier to his geralt

people he’s met on auditions or chemistry tests or whatever career related ?

the type of friends who like to talk his ear off , bc he might look like he doesn’t care and he won’t say shit but he you know , listens

people who can’t stand him bc there’s a lot not to stand tbh , maybe it’s mutual , maybe it’s not even like a serious thing .

idk anything lol , let’s brainstorm ! hit me up in the ims or just like this and i’ll come to you

#excess:intro #i'll probably reblog this later so i'm sorry in advance

Oh my quiznak! Now that I posted that count of monte cristo song I'm thinking of about a Count of Monte Cristo AU with:

Shiro/Kuron as Edmond Dantes/The count

Adam as Mercedes

Allura as Haydee

Lotor as Fernand Mondego/de Morcef

Zendak as Danglars

Pidge as Eugenie Danglars

And, yes, I kown the book has like 15 other characters but this are the ones I have clear in my mind. Some of the characters are hard to place, Keith for example could either be Luigi Vampa, Maximiliam Morrel or Albert de Morcef. But that's up to you to choose.

Aaaaah the letter is written in French! Im so happy with the amount of work and attention they put into this anime

Let’s see what’s written on the letter.....

“A l’attention du Vicomte Albert de Morcef

Cher Vicomte,

D’heureuses circonstances me permettent d’avoir en ma possession des places de premier choix pour l’opéra de ce soir. Si tu n’a pas d’autres engagements, voudrais-tu me faire l’honneur d’être mon invité ? La présence de ta fiancée est bien ententue recommandée.

Très cordialement,

Le Comte de Monte-Christo”

AAAAH SO MANY THINGS TO TALK ABOUT

1) IM HAVING A STROKE THE COUNT IS USING “TU” FOR ALBERT

2) The Count has a pretty handwriting

3) The play is called “Robert The Devil” lmao

4) The Count got these tickets thanks to “fortunate circumstances” meaning he probably blackmailed or killed someone

Oh no, I shouldn't have mentioned Gankutsuou… Now all I want is to watch it again. And then read Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (again), but it's such a big book, and I have so many others to read first.

But...
