best friends to lovers is only good if theyre still best friends while theyre lovers

[musketeermaiden]

I love when platonic love and romantic love is so blurred that it doesn’t even matter anymore. All that matters is the devotion that’s there, the unwavering devotion

Magnificent Musketeer Tournament

Aramis Poll 2 - Round 2

In this poll, the 2 Aramis entrants with the most votes will move on to the next round

Aramis - Santiago Cabrera The Musketeers 2014-2016

THIS character played by THIS actor is pure, molten fire alchemy. Not just “the pretty one” of the Musketeers (although, dear God, he is certainly that!), IMO he has the most aspects and layers of the quartet. He’s: The Ladies’ Man (natch) The Religious One (who’s willing to damn his immortal soul to save the woman he loves) The Sharpshooter The De Facto Surgeon/Medic (who’s very proud of his needlework) The Insouciant, Quippy One The One Who’s Good With Kids (heartbreakingly, as it turns out) (continued under the cut)

Aramis - Miya Rurika All for One - D'Artagnan and the Sun King 2017

He is just here to be sexy and make that everyone's problem. (Including the audience. We were all fighting for our lives.

Aramis - Romain Duris Les Trois Mousquetaires: D'Artagnan 2023, Les Trois Mousquetaires: Milady 2023

1. HE IS SO GORGEOUS 2. he has The Aramis Facial Hair 3. he is an ally to bisexuals (porthos) 4. in the movie, he takes a carving of jesus on the cross off of a wall and sharpens the end of it into a stake, which he then uses to torture information out of a man. and i think that's beautiful.

The complete list of entrants can be found here.

Additional Propaganda under the cut

Santiago Cabrera:

(continued from above) The character certainly gets run through an emotional wringer over the course of the series, easily sliding between his many facets: cheeky flirt, haunted soldier, mischievous trickster, brave stalwart, murderous alpha male (especially if anyone threatens the Queen), yearning smitten kitten, guilt-racked penitent, longing secret father, kind friend to the downtrodden, justice seeker, etc. From very early in the series, we see that underneath that pretty, pretty facade and devil-may-care attitude lies a man with some deep hurt, sadness, guilt, and self-recrimination. And that only gets more pronounced throughout the series. And then, of course, there’s his glorious mane of unruly dark hair and deep brown eyes. That’s just freaking catnip for me. I love him. He is unforgettable and has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

He absolutely nails the dichotomy of the character, both soulful and badass. He’s just so dammed good. And so very, very pretty.

[musketeermaiden]

it was a CRIME that we didn't get a reverse-situation of Commodities actually. We deserved Porthos protecting and taking care of a hurt Aramis on-screen. We deserved the symbolism. The softness. The extra homoeroticism.

BBC, I'll never forgive you for not giving it to us (and with The Good Soldier being right there too like. You didn't even try!).

[musketeermaiden]

porthos’s long hair in season 3……. yeah no chance aramis was staying celibate

HOWARD CHARLES as Porthos in The Musketeers (S01E01)

[musketeermaiden]

every day i wake up, and i long for more Aramis/Marsac, pre-canon fics

(this would be fixed if i just opened my Musketeer word document and started typing)

[musketeermaiden]

i let him hit cause. uh. well i’m gonna be honest it’s cause i fucked up my parry timing

[musketeermaiden]

I think the way I look at Milady and Athos and go "they're my parents" says a lot about my mental state right now. like I need another dysfunctional family to join 🙄

Of course you need another!! Can you imagine their passive-aggressive co-parenting??? It would be very entertaining

BBC Musketeers cracked the code because it was like 'what if cowboy drama in 17th century France' and the answer was of course yes
