Do you like to read Moliére? If so, what are your favorite books?

Hey! I haven't replied to an anon in ages!

I think I've only read Misanthrope, Le Malade imaginaire, L'École des Femmes andTartuffe in book format.

My favourite Molière play is Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. In fact, it was the first play I saw in theatre when I was little.

Fun fact, me and Molière we share the same birthday ♒ 😌

So in the summer of 2021 I pushed @cy-lindric to read The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After. What resulted is what's in this video: together with @surikane we created an artistic collective called Les Dumariolles (a portmanteau of "Dumas" and "mariolles" which in southern French means idiots, incoherent people, jesters, people who joke and behave wildly to get attention at all costs) so we could talk about our love for the Musketeers and put out tons and tons of memes and artworks. In 2023 we put up a whole exhibition in Paris which was incredibly successful, Parisian cinemas invited us to talk about the new Musketeers movies in a series of podcasts, and national French newspapers talked about us, about this very old fandom and our brand new approach: inclusive and LGBT musketeers, as seen by queer artists and creators.

We're the Dumariolles, we're very unserious and very serious about all of it, and we're taking over!

Hehe 😌

@mordioux polyamorous Musketeers before it was cool. 😜

i think it's fun that porthos seems to be the youngest musketeer in the new movies and athos looks way older than the other two. what i've usually seen when the three of them don't look more or less the same age is that they go porthos -> athos -> aramis and these new ones look like athos -> aramis -> porthos which i hadn't seen before and could mean an interesting change in friendship dynamics between them

In the beginning of book they're all between 18-28- d' Artagnan being the youngest, of course- Athos in his late 20s, then Aramis around 22 and Porthos between 23-25. Athos was always the older ore but not as old as the Bourboulon film. It's like this Athos leapt through time and became the Twenty Years After or even Vicomte de Bragelonne Athos 🤔

I definitely liked Pio Marmaï's Porthos tho, and I kinda liked what they did with his character. And I think that irl he's about 5 years older than François Civil who plays d'Artagnan 😅

If I travel back in time and put a flower crown on Monsieur as pretty as he is, will he let me stay at his court?

Well, I bet he would ✨🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌸✨

I really like your profile! I would like to know more about the reign of Louis XIV and those around him (his brother is great!) What books have you read and do you recommend to me to have as much knowledge as you?

Separate question: is there a film or book dedicated to the Conde of Guiche? Was he really the prince's lover?

Hey Anon :)

Sorry for the late reply.

Basically, this blog is mostly inactive atm and reposting old (I mean reeeeally old stuff).

I'll try to find some time to post a most detailed list of the things you asked. The first thing that pops in mind right now is how the name of the French noble villain in John Wick 4 is ✨ Marquis de Gramont ✨ lol.

Chevalier was not the best person, but at a time when it was die or survive, it was one or the other. If he had not stood up to Philippe's first wife or anyone who was against him they would have sought by all means and done anything to throw him out of the residence and take away his favorite position, even if it was through false letters or other means (just like Henriette she had him exiled). i do not justify Chevalier but he did what everyone did to survive and not fall into disgrace (In those times and others)

It's true that court life was a constant status/alliance/sheme & intrigue battlefield but on the other hand, it's not that Chevalier was just a poor defenseless mignon. He came from a powerful family and his position at court was more or less secured. His status as Monsieur's protégé (sic) surely made him even more powerful among couriers but yeah, no one was really safe once a new favourite emerged or once a royal was displeased. And Chevalier sure did anything in his power to ehm.. openly displease Henrietta 😌

Rest In Power Raquel Welch :(

She had won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for her performance in The Three Musketeers.

Athos: “For having spoken without permission, you’ll have to eat this piece of paper, or we’re all screwed”.

The rest: “Aha”.

Brilliant Athos being a total psycho to his manservant.

Ten Years Later and Louise de la Valliere are basically 17th century Gossip Girl, where a bunch of noble brats (King of France included) try to bed (or kill) one another in every possible combination.

Me providing spot-on summaries of classical serialised novels.

[girldumas]

one thing I love about Athos is how he tries to be so secretive about his past and doesn't tell anyone about Milady but is still so adamant to show his hatred and mistrust for women that he names himself after a mountain where women aren't allowed to go and still expects people not to guess.

Little me after being introduced to Three Musketeers via Anime Sanjushi for the first time and then obsessing over the idea of dressing like a boy and casually entering the Holy Mountain-just like my elder uncles and random male family friends- after I read that 1930s Miss Europe, a French journalist in 1929 and an iconic 90s Greek journalist allegedly entered the Monasteries disguised as men 😳

Did I do this right?
