@elodieunderglass created Saoirse the robin daemon and, much like Patrick Augustine Harper My Beloved, I'm making it everyone's problem.

Additional spoiler art below (just go read the fic! It's excellent and not terribly long)

Sharpe's Sword (1995)

a request for @thekenobee !

Just thinking of the mouth-acting quirks of these Peninsular dopes.

Ioan's "I'm so clever" pout

Sean's "I'm not paid enough for this shit" jaw thrust

Daragh's "This sounds like a joke but I'm actually threatening your life" smirk

Jamie's "He's my husband, your honor" BEAM.

There's nothing like a good old-fashioned British Army flogging at the halberds with all the ritual and ceremony of such and with all your mates watching you take it like a man!!! Fuck yeah!!! This is Sergeant Patrick Harper being unjustly but lustfully flogged in Sharpe's Company!!! 🔥💥💯🤤🇬🇧

*Patrick Harper working his way through a raging battle/ a burning building/ a panicked crowd/ etc. to get to a wounded Richard Sharpe out of yet another life or death situation *

Patrick Harper * mumbling* : You adopt an officer for life, not just for Christmas. You adopt an officer for life ….

Does Bernard Cornwell know that Harper is the funniest character he’s ever written

[incorrect-rifles]

Sharpe: Trust me, I know what I’m doing

Harper: With respect sir, not even GOD knows what you’re doing

Sharpe's Eagle (1993)

Hi! I just wanted to say I loooove your Sharpe art. I've never watched the movies, so I have quite different visions of characters since it's all based on my interpretations of them from the books, but it's so great seeing art of these characters! Teresa in particular, she's one of my fav characters alongside Patrick, Hogan and Nairn.

Thank you!! I agree, I had really different visions of them when I read the books before watching the show. Daragh O'Malley is great in the role, but I pictured Pat totally different. And of course the description of Sharpe in the early books is as a dark-haired Londoner, but now Cornwell has retrofitted the recent ones to account for a Yorkshire accent. There's a handful of the audiobooks read by Rupert Farley, and man, when he spits that Sheffield "bastard!" you'd think it was Sean.

The good* thing about most of the side characters like Hogan and Nairn and even Wellington is that if one actor doesn't fit your mental image, chances are high they'll be replaced the following season, because the actors kept getting severely ill from contaminated food and water. They were filming in Crimea right after the collapse of the Soviet Union and there was almost no reliable infrastructure, so everybody got sick, and if they didn't get sick, they got hurt from poorly-managed practical effects. So even though Brian Cox is perfect as Hogan, he's only there for two (I think?) episodes, to be followed by a revolving door of other spymasters. And then of course our favorite heroine gets fridged, but that's a canon event so we can only weep quietly for hours every night.

*not actually good, quite bad in fact
