《Morrel, glacé d'effroi, tenait d'une main son front, de l'autre comprimait son coeur, dont il craignait qu'on entendît les battements.

《Morte, morte !》 Répétait-il dans sa pensée avec la voix de son coeur. Et lui-même se sentait mourir.》

LXXIII - La Promesse, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, Alexandre Dumas

Quoique d'une pâleur presque livide, cet homme [Simbad le Marin] avait une figure remarquablement belle; ses yeux étaient vifs et perçants; son nez droit, et presque de niveau avec le front, indiquait le type grec dans toute sa pureté, et ses dents, blanches comme des perles, ressortaient admirablement sous la moustache noire qui les encadrait. (p. 346)

WE HAVE ACHIEVED MOUSTACHE I REPEAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED MOUSTACHE

#now is it a fake moustache? that remains to be seen #(the context for this is that i've always wondered how dantès manages to pass as so many different people and my theory is that he just #has a fake moustache collection)#actually i should keep a running record of the physical descriptions of his different personas #the most salient part of this one is his pallor. the narration even goes on about it more after the part i excerpted #so fake moustaches and face powder. that's my revised theory #the count of monte cristo #my posts #'le type grec dans toute sa pureté' hmm not loving that description but can't say i'm surprised as this book is. quite racist.#the beginning of the book is fine but that's mostly because edmond is in prison by himself lol #now he's out in the world and we're meeting other characters and he's doing all sorts of shit in the middle east and north africa #i mean we don't see him do it but he talks about it #can't wait (sarcastic) for the part where golden boy maximilien morrel talks about his valiant service as a violent imperialist #spellcheck is telling me that moustache is spelled wrong but i don't see it and i won't respond to it #uh pretty sure it's an accepted variant. so zip it bigmouth

The Calendar of Monte Cristo: Chapter 1

When we were reading The Count of Monte Cristo last year, it occasionally bugged me that I couldn't find a timeline of the events - whenever I went searching for one, all I could find were timelines of the writing and publication of the novel. So this time around I'm going to make notes and maybe make my own.

c.1785-1791: Napoleon Bonaparte garrisoned at Valence. Policar Morrel serves in the same regiment. [H]

c. 1790: Danglars born. [R]

c. 1796: Edmond born. [R]

some time before 24 February 1815: Maximilien Morrel born. [R]

c. December 1814: Pharaon departs Marseille for a voyage to Naples, Trieste and Smyrna. [R]

Final voyage of Captain Leclère. Pharaon stops at Elba and Edmond entrusted with message. [R]

24 February 1815: Pharaon arrives Marseille. Edmond speaks to M. Morrel, visits father and Mercédès. [E]

E: date explicitly stated in text H: historical event R: located relative to another event

Opera House AU: Count of Monte Cristo

Lullaby, after finding out that Time's music skills allow for more than soothing their Opera Baby, decides to hunt for a musical in which she can cast their stunt coordinator so that he has to show off his talents.

She finally finds it, after the opera house has grown some and the youngsters are old enough to be of more help:

The Count of Monte Cristo

Time is dubious, sure, but once she convinces him (with some bribery and the promise that he'll be working with Malon some on this thing) he eventually agrees.

Hell to Your Doorstep has never sounded so amazing, and Time belts it out with all the rage and fury to make Dei himself impressed. Sure, Lullaby didn't get him on stage with his guitar, but he's singing like he used to, and if the Indi-Go's volunteered to feature (free of charge!) so they could back that song? Well, that will certainly draw the crowds in!

Dusk as Mercedes has some side effects (her tears are more real than the most of the others know) but she's too perfect in the role.

As for the rest of the cast, well! Twilight made a fine Fernand, although the military uniform Styla had on hand had to be altered considerably to fit him. It was a bit awkward pretending to be Dusk's husband, but with Legend as Albert they were able to have a good laugh about it (can they stop being cast as a family? this is getting weird, Lullaby, seriously.)

Hyrule made his first on stage appearance as Franz D'epiney, close to Legend's side through most of his appearances, just in case.

Fable as Valentine and Wild as Maximilien was a heart-winning couple (and adorable as all get out)

Warriors got to try his hand at the villain role for once, as Gérard de Villefort, joined by Sky's Caderousse and Twilight's Fernand Mondego. Playing a corrupted lawyer was an interesting experience, but the boys had fun with A Story Told and their various scenes challenging Time's character really were fantastic and full of fire.

Even Dei stepped in to join them, as he so very rarely does. Monsieur Morrel as a result was far...bigger than most audiences were expecting, but his and Time's scenes were surprisingly wholesome.

Wind had a lot of fun being "poisoned" in the ending act, and he very nearly ended up giggling when Warriors' character had to walk in to find his beloved child killed by his wife (Sun). He did an excellent job though, even if he's technically a bit older than the kid in question was supposed to be.

Four even made an appearance as Benedetto, and his charm and rizz sold the character perfectly.

-

There were some difficult scenes of course. The Scarlet Room was one of the worst, and was the main reason why Lullaby didn't ask Dusk to double as Mrs. Caderousse. Asking her to play the woman who had a child out of wedlock and then lost him to her lover was a bit...on the nose (Twilight went out of his way to keep her from getting the role). (Arty played the bitter noblewoman instead and killed it.)

The only scene worse was Haydee's declaration of love for her master, and while Time and Dawn soldiered on, it was.... a lot of work. In contrast, Lullaby stepping up as Vampa was thrilling for all of them. Legend definitely recognized her playing up her Sheik persona, and Time and she had fantastic chemistry in their brief scenes together. None of the audience even guessed she was actually a woman and she loved every second of it.

-

Styla had the time of her life with the costumes and Legend and Wind were equally elated to get to create all the various sets. Wind in particular basically designed the whole ship set himself, with only a bit of advice and guidance from the vet. The whole of the backstage department had the time of their life and the show turned out fabulous.

Fable comments when they're done that she wishes her father could have seen it. He loved this story so much, and the songs Dusk sang... he used to rave about those ones all the time. He would have adored hearing them done such justice...

Is the Count Of Monte Cristo A Dilf

I would argue yes he's a father figure to Albert de Morcerf (well until the events of the ending),Haydee (also until the events of the ending I like to forget it...ended like that and. Shes still a daughter to him in my heart), Valentine de Villefort , and Maximilien Morrel.

The last two would never have been able to get married without the count's help.

So we have established that he is a father figure and the question if he's a dilf comes down to if you want to fuck him.

you'd be stupid not to want to fuck him. And i'm not talking about FGO, tho fgo count fits into this. I am talking about every version of him, and most specifically the novel version.

#count of monte cristo #this came up during a fgo dilf ranking and a mutaul of mine didnt know if the count had children #fgo

"Live! Because the day will come when you will be happy and bless life; [...] Well, Maximilien, does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always something unknown beyond it? So, if I beg you, if I order you to live, Morrel, it is in the certainty that one day you will thank me for saving your life."

Alexandre Dumas (Monte Cristo), The Count of Monte Cristo (tr. Robin Buss, p. 1126)

I've started reading A Fire Born of Exile (Aliette de Bodard's sci-fi Count of Monte Cristo retelling), and it's interesting figuring out who each character is. I'm about a fifth of the way into it, and so far we have (apologies for omitting accents)

Suong Quynh/Da Lan: the Count/Edmond Dantes

Hoa: Maximilien Morrell

Minh: Valentine Villefort

Heart's Sorrow: Albert de Morcerf

Guts of Sea: Haydee? I'm not entirely sure, maybe amalgamated with other members of the Count's household

Prefect Tinh Duc: Prosecutor Villefort

Van: Edouard Villefort

General Tuyet: Fernand de Morcerf, but also Mercedes, which is a fascinating decision. Women's wrongs etc etc

Thanh Nhang: the bits of Fernand that aren't Tuyet? It's hard to tell so far

Thien Hanh: Monsieur Morrell

What's interesting to me here is that A Fire Born of Exile has made some adaptational choices (starting the action after the timeskip, omitting Danglars and all his related plots) that are pretty common, but most adaptations that make those choices center the plot on Albert, while this one has picked Valentine and Maximilien, which is fascinating. When reading The Count of Monte Cristo I honestly found their plotline quite boring, mainly because it dragged on for a long time insisting that Valentine was too perfect and saintly to do anything like "move out of a house where everyone hated her and she was being poisoned to death", so I'm curious to see what an adaptation that gives her more agency will do.

#a fire born of exile #alliette de bodard #xuya universe #the count of monte cristo #I'm annoyed about omitting eugenie but I get why #you need to cut something and that whole plotline and be removed wholesale without messing other things up

So this translation leaves out a lot of things that are in the Robin Buss one unless they are put into the next chapter. They aren’t particularly important, mostly conversations between the men, but Maximilien Morrel does join the breakfast as well which we did not see.

#there’s also some discussion about Monte Cristo #I assume some of this will be in the next chapter unless this one just leaves out Maximilien from this section #tumblr book club #count of monte cristo #the count of monte cristo #the cristo account

Hi, hope you don't mind me dropping in!

Life is a Storm (Captain Swan) for the WIP Game.

Of course not! Glad to have you, and thanks for the ask!

This is one WIP I've said I'd work on finishing for a Very Long Time and have made 0 progress on it, but I'm a few chapters beyond what's posted rn, so it's not a total falsehood. It's is a story fusion between Once Upon a Time and The Count of Monte Cristo --- though it is a blend between CoMC the book and CoMC the 2002 film --- with a Captain Swan focus!

I'm not actually sure how much OUAT you know about, sorry, but here's the basics:

Our young Dantes is cast by Killian Jones, who, in turn, becomes his version of the Count as Captain Hook.

Mercedes is portrayed by Milah (the person around whom Hook's based his entire OUAT-canon revenge plot), and, rather than settling down with the Fernand character, is killed.

Emma serves in Haydee's rough role, though with some modifications made to suit her OUAT character more than the og CoMC story allowed

Fernand is played by Rumplestiltskin (Milah's ex-husband), while Danglars is Zelena (the Wicked Witch) and Cora (Zelena/Regina's mother, the Queen of Hearts) serves as Villefort. Also, Albert --- instead of being just a relatively innocent figure, like most versions of the story, is played by the far more malicious Neal/Baelfire (Rumple's kid with Milah)

Monsieur Morrel is Regina (technically the Evil Queen in OUAT, but this fusion treats her more like her semi-redeemed, later-season self... also, Zelena's sister), and Maximilien is played by Henry

And the Chateau D'If is none other than Neverland, with Peter Pan, of course, as its warden.

Thanks again for the ask!

Look at me. I have no tears in my eyes, or fever in my veins, or dread beatings in my heart; yet I am watching you suffer, you, Maximilien, whom I love as I should my own son. Well, Maximilien, does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always something unknown beyond it? So, if I beg you, if I order you to live, Morrel, it is in the certainty that one day you will thank me for saving your life.

it's been years and I still think about how everyone around Eugénie knew she was gay and in love with Louise.

Valentine was like "yeah Eugénie doesn't want to get married to anyone it's so strange" and Max "euheuheuh totally strange yeah lmao".

And her mother is like "oh... she's a lover of the arts... ahahah... why is my child like this..."

and the Count didn't even try to seduce her like I expected, he just straight up went Lesbian Rights and gave Louise a man's passport. "what do you need it for?" "I want to elope" "sick here it is, gay rights"

the only ones who pretended to be oblivious are Albert and Andrea, because they're the kind of straight men who think you're gay until you meet them but they can magically turn your straight.

#jk i love albert and andrea too much i would never call them straight <3 #the count of monte cristo #eugenie danglars #louise d'armilly #albert de morcerf #andrea cavalcanti #maximilien morrel #valentine de villefort #count of monte cristo #shitpost
