MT on tumblr

I'm MT, i've been into TYK and Qiye for a while (still translating it, checkout @lordseventhby7), but i'm currently going crazy about Philippe d'Orléans and eveverything about him so bear with me

[mtkay13]

I'M BACK

But with something different 👉👈I've been losing my mind about Monsieur, Philippe d'Orléans (brother of king Louis XIV) recently and don't know what to do with all that energy, felt like I need to share it somewhere, but don't feel like starting a new space all over like I did with my previous hyperfixation. (IDK why, I like fandoms neatly separate and organized, but I need to make some changes in my life, anyway--)

I'm STILL not done with Qiye, I promise the TL is making (slow) progress, but in the meantime I'm gonna go all crazy about french history from the XVII century and likely post in french and english a lot more and yeah, that's it, haha. In the meantime, here above is my new obsession, Philippe d'Orléans in the center, known to be a debauched sodomite and yet he's so much more than that (I've been DEVOURING BIOGRAPHIES AND EVERYTHING I COULD FIND AUGH), surrounded by three of his most prominent favourites, which... I'll yap about as well in no time. So yes hi hello MT is going through some recycling and now means Monsieur Time I guess 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Also I've been having some fun with new techniques and I'll probably yap about that as well. And the books I'm reading UNDENIABLY.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

New Monchevy fic wooh! A little jump back in time to get a glimpse of Philippe d'Orléans' POV after the previous fic which was exclusively from the Chevalier's.

I also learned that you can have a nice AO3 embed link! crayzee!

Hiii again MT, is there like a discord group where we can share more information on Phillippe (or the Phillippes™) or is the tumblr community just it? ^^

Hello again!!

So for now it's only the tumblr community! We haven't really brushed on the idea of a discord one yet (saintzenni was the brilliant mind behind the community and I am but a sheep)

BUHT i've been slowly considering the option of making a folder/repository (maybe on gdrive or smth) that would contain all the ressource possible as well as a chronological listing of facts, descriptions etc first on both Phils (but honestly if we make it a joined effort we can extend it to all the characters of interest, it's just such a gargantuan task that I have to keep it to something less unreasonable) and I GUESS a discord group could be very convenient as a companion piece to that. It for sure is easier to organize and browse through.......

well, if people are interested, lmk in the comments. we can also make a post about it in the community!

[mtkay13]

I have a couple (=more than a dozen) nsfw monchevy drawings and a comic laying around and tumblr rly wont allow for that so should I post them on ao3??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 honestly the comic may as well take place in my fic series so it seems reasonable enough

[mtkay13]

i will by the way i'm just very anal about what i post in what order so first i need to publish the two new fics i have finished and once the third one, which is nsfw, is out, THEN i can start posting drawing compilations so brain is happy

SOON!!!

Hello there!!!

Completely ignoring the little accident that happened a while ago I wished to tell you for a while how deeply I love your art 🥺🥺🥺 I had been by now hyperfixed into Loulou and dear Fifi, and it brightens my day everytime you post your fun facts and amazing art about them!!!

Now, while I do not wish to claim myself to be AS wonderful, unique and stunning as him, I often see myself relating to Philippe and well, it really sort of makes me feel happy knowing that he well, also had "weird" teeth like myself! It makes me feel happy?

So uh sorry if this doesn't make any sense really but yeah please know you totally rock!!!!

Have a wonderful day/night! And week too! <3

OMG HI!!! and don't worry about that incident hahaha it was rly cool

i'm so so touched you have no idea!!! thank you!!! I'm so glad!!!! admittedly while there's a ton of stuff I wanna make about Louis too I'm always so stupidly hyperfixated on Philippe's side of things that I never find the time, hopefully i'll come around--but anyway, I'm so so glad!!

and I'm sure you're plenty awesome yourself!!!! it's always great to be able to find a bit of ourselves, especially sides that are rarely praised or valorized, in people we admire!! I'm really happy it makes you feel this way 🙏🙏🙏I sure am very fond of his lil teeth hehehee

and don't worry at all and thank you so so much for reaching out and being around!! means everything!!!

have an awesome week as well!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶

A little focus on Philippe's teeth following discussions with @saintzenni and @wnt1 inspired by liselotte saying Philippe had ugly teeth and by his actor in the reboot of the musical "Le Roi Soleil" (Louis Delort) having cute bunny teeth.

My theory is that since his mouth was said to be small and that he does seem to have a narrow jaw on paintings, his teeth may have lacked space and either been juxtaposed in places or small/misaligned in others. Anyway good opportunity to focus on details lol

Hiii! I was the one who sent you that Chevalier ask and loved reading your opinion on it! I’m reading a book on him rn and it certainly erases the bad taste the show left in me after all these years. I agree they probably based it off Dumas portrayal because I always had the impression he was much more machiavellian than he was portrayed XD Also Phillippe D’Orleans was so butch in the show I’m dying to see him portrayed as the cute chatterbox who love ribbons in media one day 

I love your art btw! Its certainly rejuvenated my interest in that era for a quick second 😋

HELLO!! and I'm glad haha!! I was really happy to elaborate 🙌 and yes I was surprised by so many things when reading his biography because it's so different than everything else I had been reading so far!

I'm curious! What book are you currently reading :o ?

And yeah Philippe d'Orléans... well I briefly touched on my opinion on his Versailles portrayal and... yeeeaaaahh. Very butch, very broody/gloomy, violent etc... let's say it was a choice.

So far, the absolute best representation I've seen of him has been in the french musical Le Roi Soleil (especially the reboot, where he is played by Louis Delort) where he is surprisingly nuanced, very fun and very feminine as well!

And thank you so so much!!!! Hopefully it rejuvenates it for more than a quick second hehehehe 😁😁😁 🙏🙏🙏

[saintzenni]

is this where versailles got the chevalier being a coward from???? from dumas?????

[mtkay13]

Starting off pride month with some wholesome melancholic monchevy again because the end of chev's bio BROKE MY HEART with that paragraph which I'm gonna put here:

Unique example of someone being integrated to the royal family through a homosexual relationship, he was brought to the forefront overnight. He was there to stay, protected by his princely status, by his family's clan and by a solid network. One other thing explains his exceptional longevity: Monsieur loved him boundlessly until the very end.

(Le Chevalier de Lorraine by Joan Pieragnoli, p375-376)

and then I died

Et la photo du texte original parce que j'en pleure toujours.

my babiessss :]]]

[mtkay13]

Also I need to state that it all started because I randomly went to see a musical about these people (called Le Roi Soleil) and that was pretty much my gateway drug. I grew up knowing a couple of things about what I thought was a silly musical, was invited by friends to go see it, lost my mind, and the rest is now History lol. I drew them with their musical designs a couple of times before I switched to """"canon-compliant""" designs, but I still want to post what it started with since it looks neat imo. ALSO since for long I associated french history with the absurd manga "Innocent", I decided to imitate the art style for a couple of illustrations because I found it funny. I will join a timelapse video to the next illustration I post since I do find the process interesting and I like the results.

I'll try not to spam everything all at once but I will slowly be posting everything I've been making for the past three weeks over the next few days.

[mtkay13]

Reposting this one because @wnt1 is reviving my obsession for Le Roi Soleil's version of Phil augh
