The Musketeers 03x06

Sylvie Appreciation Day!!!

(Sorry I’m late @privateerstudies !)

Seriously though, part of the reason I fell out of the Milathos ship when it used to be my second favourite ship after Annamis was because of the racism among the shippers. I actually used to be pretty meh about Sylvathos as a ship before those toxic fans made me aggressively ship them out of spite

Absolutely iconic how every female character in the BBC’s The Musketeers is a raging bisexual. Good for them.

random BBC Musketeers things that I think about a lot:

the Three Inseparables know Constance before they know d'Artagnan. She and Athos know each other as of 1x01 (and by extension, it's more likely than not she knows the other two), she knows where to find them, they know where she lives, she cares about Athos enough to risk her life to save him. She's never just a girlfriend of one of them, she's their friend, has been their friend before she and d'Artagnan got together, before he even came to Paris

Porthos being clearly inspired by Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, from his parents being an enslaved Black woman called Marie-Cessette and a white nobleman to eventually becoming general of the French army

Aramis being raised in a brothel immediately explains a lot about him, from using sex as means to an end - seducing Marguerite to stay close to his son, finding a patroness for money (which Porthos also does, encouraged by Aramis, but ends up actually falling in love with Alice), because, despite being the "romantic hero type", he wasn't raised with the idea that sex has to happen only for love or attraction, he always saw it as something that could be means of survival, to being always gallant and courteous with women because he grew up among - was raised by! - the women who were looked down upon by the society and clearly had seen them mistreated by many men, and wouldn't want to be like those men

Aramis seems like the show's stand-in for Buckingham until he becomes the stand-in for Mazarin

between the Duchesse de Chevreuse and Sylvie Bodaire, it seems like Athos is bound to get together with a political activist who has had some sort of fling with Aramis. I imagine the child Sylvie's pregnant with by the end of s3 is a boy and they name him Raoul. (And because this is a happier universe, this Raoul doesn't get himself killed on purpose)

My favourite genre of ships: Intelligent WOC who are badass in their own ways with their idiot rich bois with daddy issues.

Sylvie Bodaire

They say protect the king. They don’t say what it will cost.

Do you ever wonder what it feels when the person you love is threatened by the very person you are sworn to protect?

‘Where does it end? When they come for the one you love’ 

Athos of the kink's King's Musketeers.
