Please admire all 4700000 yards of hand sewn trim and six dozen hand done buttonholes thank you✨ I had a lovely first time at NYCC, and shout-out to that one guy who recognized me as Sharpe and the other guy who recognized Napoleonic rifleman! And thanks to Thor and @queensabriel for these photos 💖

(I'm wearing it again to the Texas Renaissance Festival on Black Friday, look for me there 😌)

It's 0313, I'm in bed listening to Sharpe's Battle and see a bright flash in the window, and I know it has to be lightning because I do not live in a conflict zone. Yet the thunder crackles and rolls, and I my position is under attack and where is my weapon? My sword bayonet? Where's the officer of the watch - we must beat to quarters!

There is a real delight in spending your days with half your mind occupied by special characters from books, movies, TV shows, special points in history, or your own creating, sometimes many all at once. It gives life a dimension, a haunted feeling, like part of you is here baking bread, and part of you is wrapped up in this broken character.

I first experienced this as a child when my Mom took a year to read Lord of the Rings to us. When she finished it felt like I'd lost some of my dearest friends. I've experienced this over and over with characters I've created.

Most recently I've found it in Stargate-Atlantis, Leverage, and my soon to be published book.

I live a haunted life and I love it.

This is what you Sharpe's Rifles people are reading, right??

This was my light reading last night, and I enjoyed it very much, despite being written for children people of all ages. Foundling George Milton escapes the workhouse where he is cruelly mistreated and becomes a bugler for the 95th Rifle Regiment in 1809, after he is rescued and adopted by a Regimental Sargent Major. Awwww!

As a piece of historical fiction, it's put together with great care, with a lovely emphasis on the day to day life of a Napoleonic era soldier. The forward by Bernard Cornwall states that Richard Sharpe would approve of George Milton and even seems to hint that Sharpe could make a cameo appearance in a future volume.

But alas, volume 1 was published in 2020, and there are no signs of any sequels? I can't find any information about this series being continued.

Sean Bean as Lieutenant Richard Sharpe in Sharpe's Rifles (1993).

This was the first of several British television movies based on the Richard Sharpe series of novels by Bernard Cornwell. The novels followed the adventures of a tough, scrappy British soldier, promoted from the ranks to an officer by Sir Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington), during the Napoleonic Wars in Europe.

The telefilms were extremely popular and made Bean a star. Many now-famous British actors and actresses guest-starred in the films, including Brian Cox, Elizabeth Hurley, Pete Postlethwaite, Daniel Craig, Paul Bettany, and Padma Lakshmi.

Paul McGann, better known as the 8th incarnation of Doctor Who, was originally cast as Sharpe. McGann physically resembles Sharpe as the character is described in the novels. However, he broke his leg very early after the production began. He was replaced by Bean, and it's doubtful you'd find anyone else that the British public, as well as Bernard Cornwell, would accept in the role today.

BTW - Sean Bean does NOT die in any of the films. Must be some sort of record for him.

"I think he sees glory in his friend — in this man that he loves and cares for. Really he's a nursemaid and minds him, and a friend. And uh..yknow, I think Sharpe is lucky to have this man Harper who is totally commited to him."

— Daragh O'Malley, Sharpe's Mission BTS

anyways watch Sharpe bc there's so much bisexual tension and pining bromance and also sean and daragh are phenomenal (im not just saying this bc its my namesake) (or just bc i love sean bean) (its sincerely a fun show i promise) (funny and dramatic and sometimes cheesy by todays standards and sometimes sad, a bit oldschool but the characters are amazing and well played by their actors.) Dude, just trust me.

You won! I finally order the Sharpe series for the upcoming vacations xD (also got one for my colleague. If he survived Napoleon he can survive Sharpe right? 👀 Right???)

*joyful cheering* welcome to the regiment!!

(if he survived Napoleon I think he can Definitely survive Sharpe. Unless he actually knows how to fire a musket (looking at a particular scene), but then he'll just laugh)

The plot of Sharpe's Escape:

'You put Slingsby in charge of the light company? Lawford does not appreciate Sharpe? Oh! Oh, I am taking my sergeant and going awol. I can no longer thrive in this army.'
