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!).

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

Thoughts on why Athos was the only Musketeer to kiss Aramis even in a brotherly way. It's Athos. Sure it only happened because Tom ad-libbed that reaction, but given how no one else ever does that to my knowledge, it raises the question of why? What made that specific moment more emotional stirring than the others that would cause Athos to react that way?

I will admit, it's been a while since I've watched the actual show- so I did have to go back and revisit that episode to remind myself of it.

But after doing so? I really think most of it has to do with the fact that Athos knew- about Aramis sleeping with Anne. He was the only one to know for so long (I can't remember if the others know during this episode, I only rewatched pieces). For Athos, the threat to Aramis' life was so much more real.

To me, with Athos' character- his personality and his mindset- it was probably a fear he'd been harboring for so long. And one he'd been carrying by himself, unwilling to share and put Aramis in more danger. Being a musketeer is risky, that's nothing new, but Aramis being essentially tried for sleeping with the queen? That wasn't something he could fix by killing a few men and being done with it.

It was a threat that was present in their everyday lives, and then his exact fear happens.

And still, despite every odd stacked against them, Athos got Aramis back.

As promised, a bunch of sketches I did in free time. Obsessed is an understatement.
