ID: 4 screenshots of Porthos in BBC Musketeers, various scenes. 1. A screenshot of an instagram feed, main post is Porthos and Athos, cloaks around them, an outdoors scene. 2. Porthos and Charon in the street in court of miracles, facing each other, grinning. 3. Porthos on a horse, belts all done up over his armour, lots of weapons, horse decorated for war. 4. Porthos driving the cart with Bonnaire, someone poking their head out the curtains behind with a modern cap on. End ID.]

I reckon Porthos was the quiet hero? of the quartet of Musketeers. Or he was underrated anyway. The others all get talked about for various reasons; but Porthos often gets overlooked. But he was a workhorse; a reliable generalist and a great strategist. You could always depend on him. It was often him that would see a plan before anybody else. Or danger. S3 of MUSKETEERS was a mishmash, but it was nice to see the Porthos character get his just desserts. Especially as Dumas' Porthos did well in the army and so did the real life Porthos that he was based on.

#porthos #In the show he is. He's the keeper of the braincel.#Something something changing his background makes him a different class in a way than the others #Class isn't right maybe? Idk. d'Artagnan has his farm athos has... A Lot. Aramis we learn some contradictory stuff but his father seems to #Own a business? Makes alcohol? I forget.#But they have family or stuff or resources. They remove all of that for Porthos and he becomes someone who gets on with a job #While the others sometimes seem like they're playing at it.#I think this is a vibe more than an actual thing.#Later Aramis says about his mother's background. I never looked carefully but he seems to have had two different passts maybe his mum died #And then he went to his dad? But his dad wasn't a noble or particularly posh. I guess he just took Aramis in #Idk. And d'Artagnan's farm sort of vanishes and he hasn't got a family as far as we know.#And Athos gives his stuff away. I did not approve of that. Not of his giving it away but that it never came up and had 0 seeming effect.#He got money from that even if he didn't.... A wya.#It is a mess. Tbf I haven't watched in a while I may be misremembering #But I do get the vibe that Porthos is a little bit more doing a job than the others sometimes #Anyway. He is my fave #So I am porbably not paying attention to other people's fave #Pragmatic! That's what him and Constance are #The others are a bit more dreamy romantical #Tho I'd argue Aramis is actually practical. He just sometimes epitomises that 'my gf was away for a week and she's my impulse control so I #Cut the sleeves off my shirt ' lol I love that meme.#Tho even when he is impulsive I can't quite excise book Aramis and ascribe him....#I forgot the word. Anyway tag rambling over. Bye.
