Particolored-arts - It's A Work In Progress

athos + milady during the venice heist - the three musketeers (2011) dir. paul w.s. anderson.

We’re Hugo nominated authors y'all. We did it.

If I Didn't Have You ((from Monster's Inc, of course this is perfect for them))

They had the same kind of snarky humor, and could finish each other's sentences, and if Musichetta was feeling too sick to do piecework Joly could finish repairing whatever needed darning, or if Joly was feeling too panicky to concentrate on studying Musichetta could talk him down from his panic and quiz him on course material.

They had their squabbles and their differences, but both of them knew that they worked best as a unit, belonged together. Joly was not the same as Joly-and-Musichetta, and neither was Musichetta.

Fëanor and Fingolfin, yeah.

The Death of Grantaire and Enjolras Et, se tournant vers Enjolras avec douceur, il lui dit: – Permets-tu? Enjolras lui serra la main en souriant. Ce sourire n’était pas achevé que la détonation éclata. Enjolras, traversé de huit coups de feu, resta adossé au mur comme si les balles l’y eussent cloué. Seulement il pencha la tête. Grantaire, foudroyé, s’abattit à ses pieds. Enjolras by me and  Grantaire by @vanille-francaise

“you mocked me once, never do it again!” she cried, furious. “i died that day! and you can die too, for all i care!” she shoved him, and he tumbled down the steep slope.

“as you wish!” he called after her.

“westley?” she said -- and stared at the masked man, hurtling downwards. his voice had been familiar, yes, but it was only with the familiar words that she recognized him.

how could her westley have said such horrible things to her?

“why did you say those things?” she shouted down to him, after he had landed.

“what?”

“why did you say all those awful, cruel things to me?”

he stared up at her, a little black figure, and buttercup felt sad for the first time since humperdinck had proposed to her. the blankness of loss was one thing. the cruelty of a loved one was different, and somehow sharper.

“why did you agree to marry humperdinck?” he called. “i told you i would come back!”

“you were dead!”

“death cannot stop true love! it can only delay it for a while.”

“oh! that is easy for you to say!” she cried. “what if you thought i was dead? what would you have done?”

“not gone off and married some princess, that’s for certain!”

“i already told you, i don’t love humperdinck -- and anyway, he would have had me killed if i hadn’t agreed to marry him! would you have rather i died?”

“buttercup --”

“would you have rather i died?”

he paused, and shook his head.

“you knew the sicilian and his gang had kidnapped me. you could have found out why i married humperdinck, couldn’t you?”

“i heard rumors.”

“rumors of what?”

“well, how cruel he is, how his friend count tyrone has a torture chamber ...”

“how could you have thought that i loved him, then?”

“well, i --”

“how,” she continued, even more angry and even more sad, “could you have thought i would love a scheming tyrant like him? do you really think so badly of me?”

“buttercup, i --”

“at least humperdinck has the decency of telling me how horrible he is! but you -- you tell me that you love me, and at the first doubt you turn on me, you call me faithless, you threaten to strike me!”

“humperdinck threatened to chop your head off!” he yelled, indignant. “how can hitting you be even close to as bad?”

“be quiet!” buttercup exploded, and, surprised by such a vehement command, westley obeyed. “i am sick of you telling me what’s good and what’s bad, what’s right and what’s wrong! you have all these pretty words that you use, but none of them means anything! death can’t stop true love -- well, it mustn’t have been very true, if preventing my own death made you stop loving me. or did you ever actually love me at all?”

and for once, westley had no witty, ready-made answer.

Rilwen I wrote more of the thing and I decided to dump it here because it’s too big to dump on Skype

and probably knowing me it’ll end up being a series of minifics that I dump here based on the same reincarnation au

oH WELL ??

under a cut, because it’s gotten damn long (cries)

#why did they do that to jean valjean

because they’re afraid that strong gentle men who struggle internally with being good while succeeding externally (for the most part) aren’t ~cool to watch~

good fathers are “boring” and men who don’t need to be invested in a sexual relationship with women in order to help them are “unusual”

that’s the only explanation i can think of

i feel like i would be kinder to bbc’s musketeers if bbc hadn’t just dropped that horror of a les mis adaptation but they Did That and now i’ve gone feral and cannot return

cain saying “am i my brother’s keeper” right after he killed him is so funny. it’s GOD. he SAW THAT

this isn’t necessarily new information (and is kind of inspired by various dash conversations I’ve seen), but there’s a difference between characters holding the Idiot Ball as a plot hole/authors awkwardly trying to maneuver their characters or plot towards a conclusion without making it make sense in-universe, and characters holding the Idiot Ball in ways that are actually congruent with their established character flaws or shortcomings, and actually make their character arcs more interesting as a result
