for those enjoying the Trevilieu Renaissance ... it ain't much (but it's honest work) as I said in another post, a lot of the things I had planned for Trevilieu got stuck in the planning phase because I gravitated to other interests before I could write them but in case anyone's interrested, here's my AO3 with a story or two and some of the drawings Dans-le-vif EDIT: aaaaaand the images appear to be gone <_< not sure when/if I'll have the energy to reupload and relink urm, well, just the stories then

totally agree with @tatzelwyrm's tag there wasn't nearly enough red as for the black robes I wish they would have gone with the traditional ones, not the ones they ended up with ... ah well ...

[ilovemesomevincentprice]

Vincent Price as Cardinal Richelieu -

The Three Musketeers (1948)

[morethanonepage]

helpful stuff for when you want to fuck that old man

[dans-le-vif]

new form of 'hurt/comfort' just dropped question is who's knees and old bones would hurt more, Richelieu's because he's older or Tréville's because of some old wound?

[confusedkittensposts]

There is a ship with Captain Treville and Cardinal Richelieu!!!!

[freyalor]

OH NO WHERE?

WHO DARED?

I CANNOT FATHOM

WOULD NOT IMAGINE

[dans-le-vif]

what a beautiful reminder of those times <3 I wanted to add some of my own for the reblog and then had to realise that I didn't even draw that many Trevilieu arts, might have written more than drawn ... (not that much either, most got stuck in planning) and the ones I did draw are very, very odd ones from the AUgust I had done years ago XD

[dans-le-vif]

not that I'm complaining about more Trevilieu, but where does that recent renaissance come from? Or did one of us just stumple upon a few gifs or a clip and slid right back down the rabbit whole and we all just throw ourselves after them like lemmings because we never could let go of Trevilieu?!

[suzenka]

It seems its all @beanabouttown making new gifset because they learned how to do it and wanted to do it. And as we all know, gifset fuel us.

Though realistically, they cannot sustain us forever, the rest of us gotta do little posts here and there as well. Maybe a fic?

[dans-le-vif]

that's interesting and may their efforts be praised :D I'm in the middle of writing a brick in another fandom ... sort of and I write at a glacial speed as it is so I can't distract myself with Trevilieu sadly also too artblocked for much drawing ... if something even half-postable comes up I'll gladly share

[beanabouttown]

now i know in-universe there are many good reasons why d'artagnan comes into the cardinal's office with red guards hanging off him, while treville is apparently just allowed to march into the room and yell at the cardinal at will

but it is just So funny to imagine either that the red guards took one look at treville, and were like yeah im not touching that. or that this is such a common occurrence that the red guards just don't give a shit anymore. oh treville's here to yell at the cardinal? must be a day ending in a y

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

Also choices in terms of setting with Armand sitting in as close to “civies” as he gets with Treville but is in his full Black Cloak with Red Cardinal Means Business robes with D’Art - great costuming choices to show the norm from the not normal

[beanabouttown]

Also! That Richelieu stays sitting down until treville says “I’m not playing” and then Richelieu is like oh, oh okay you actually wanna fight? Lets do this

[dans-le-vif]

I mean it's also that Treville is the Captain of the Musketeers and he and Richelieu do get to work together though at times vocally disagreeing. Who knows the Red Guards might be outside the door with their ears pressed against to to hear what those two are up to now XD D'Artagnan at this moment isn't even a mMusketeer yet, just someone complaining about his property.

[becumsh]

im so happy for trevilieu renaissance

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

team trevilieu's strong dedication to "Season 2? Never heard of her" is really beautiful and bountiful

[suzenka]

"Season 3? We only like one outfit and that's it."

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

I don't even acknowledge Season 3s existence full stop lol

terrible business smh

[dans-le-vif]

I remember when I first watched it and saw on imdb that Capaldi was only in it for one season. So after the last episode of S1 I thought that must be a mistake, clearly things get interesting now because the Queen is entering the scheming business and it's all revolving around who can convince Louis more. Then I started watching S2 and it starts with Richelieu's funeral ... the heck. I mean I know it's because Capaldi went on to play Doctor Who, we all know, but DAMN, things could have gone places. And of course the show fell apart without him, so ...

[becumsh]

Bitter exes trevilieu who have to be a fake couple for The Good Of France™

Louis: "You bicker like a married couple already!" Richelieu: "I doubt that it's wise, Your Majesty." Treville: "He is right." Louis: "I'm glad you are in agreement. Good luck!" Then trevilieu gets plunged into a espionagen shenanigans, where they have to:

Spend a week in a carriage, travelling

Oh No There's Only One Bed

Slip into pretending to be in a relationship, but they actually were in a relationship some years ago, and it's too easy and familiar

Richelieu serving cunt in red robes

Treville serving cunt in that blue outfit from s3

Petty fights about who's hogging the blanket ("You snore" "You slobber on my arm" "That was ONE time")

Going around and telling the moles the story of how they fell in love, each time more and more extravagant and outrageous (they're all lies)

Everyone around them is deeply uncomfortable because the vibe around them bickering is that they either will stab each other in the throat with a fork, or have a passionate, athletic love-hate sex

[dans-le-vif]

the show clearly focused on the wrong things with all the sword fighting and Musketeers when they had gold on their hands with those two ... XD

[beanabouttown]

[dans-le-vif]

I could have watched so much more of Musketeers but it's just those two bickering XD

[dans-le-vif]

can we get a BBC Musketeers spin-off that's focusing on Richelieu please ... we ignore Season 2 and 3, that's just ... someone realises they had a strange dream or something and then we continue from the end of Season 1

[cardinal-richelieu-loverofbooks]

One of the best Richelieu ever

[procopiamiscanthus]

One of the best Richelieu ever

[freyalor]

Forever unmatched.

[dans-le-vif]

*nod* well, it's historical Richelieu vs. Musketeers Richelieu in most cases but even that Vernichelieu holds up

[dans-le-vif]
