WAR & PEACE (2016) 1.04 | dir. Tom Harper

has tolstoy considered i actually don't want to stay away from the kuragins? that they already intrigue me the most? you start off with everyone (including his own father) saying anatole is the worst and the female members of the family (like helene) should be avoided and you expect me not to want to spend time with them?

[eleancrvances]

again with the contagiousness of fathers. when pierre attacks helène we’re told “his father’s nature showed itself” in him, and now andrei "smiled like his father, coldly, maliciously, and unpleasantly". and before him there was marya, horrified to find herself punishing little nikolai as her father did with her. it’s a streak constantly threatening to emerge and wreck the children’s attempts at developing an alternative view and way of life, a weight pulling them down.

Sonya: “how was it i noticed nothing?”

Helene, yesterday: *riffing incredibly loud about an affair literally in the next room over*

[pyladessdrunk]

He thinks he's Napoleon!

I am the #1 Pierre is the mulch dog believer this is government propaganda in the form of a shit post

Basically Hélène and Anna Pavlovna shit talking Pierre after he threw a chair at Hélène..

[twiginthemud]

I feel like too many people blame Natasha for being so naive during "Charming",

but, like, you're telling me that if Hélène was in YOUR room, saying shit like "Oh, my Enchantress", that you wouldn't be a LITTLE persuaded into going to the ball that SHE is hosting????

ALSO HER CHORUS??????? HELLO???????? IT IS A SHAME TO BURY PEARLS IN THE COUNTRY, BUT SHE COULD BURY ME UNDERGROUND.

Great Comet Grishaverse crossover

this idea has been spinning about in my brain for AGES and im working on a fic for it rn so here's a rough draft of some of what's going to be going on so buckle up:

nikolai and anatole are childhood bffs (dolokhov's there too dw)

marya b and genya bestieism

david and sonya bestieism

marya b as an assistant to the apparat, due to her like also technically being a princess, she'll often be in the church on grand palace grounds

sonya starts off as natasha's cousin & closest friend on the royal court, though marya d gaslights and hides the fact sonya's a heartrender to protect her bc she gets sus vibes from the darkling (as she should) and wants sonya as far away from that as she can get

hélené secretly working for the darkling though she eventually breaks away from him in favour of the sun summoner

anatole and natasha meetcute at the sun summoner presentation fancy party thing instead of the opera

due to nikolai galavanting off to go do some important plot stuff, instead of isaak getting nikolai'd, anatole is forced to after the failed elopement and natasha is left thinking he went to caryeva with vasily

marya d and baghra bestieism
