Sharpe + Text Posts (Part 19)

Dear Emily,

I keep thinking about your lovely artwork* depicting Boromir’s journey as seen through his multiple hairstyles in the saga and I was wondering whether You could consider doing the same for Sharpe? Our dear Richard came a long way since his iconic mullet! Anyway, have a great day!

*all of your artworks are lovely, ofc

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond; I'm under deadline and haven't been able to do much on my own time, but as a warmup today I did manage this:

ROUND 4, MATCH 3 OUT OF 4

Cause of Death & Propaganda Under the Cut:

Cordelia Chase

Cause of Death: Became comatose due to childbirth, eventually died

Propaganda:

A fiercely witty, complex and independent character - she was Always her own woman, only briefly having romantic relationships and it never defined her character for 6 seasons on both Buffy & Angel. Unfortunately the show producer was an abusive misogynist who targeted Cordelia's character specifically for humiliation when her actress Charisma Carpenter became pregnant. He is a colossal dick, and a terrible writer. Cordelia and Charisma deserved better.

I love her so much

Teresa Moreno

Cause of Death: Murdered by her husband's enemy

Propaganda:

After a very rough life, Richard Sharpe had finally found happiness and love with a strong, intelligent woman who was very much his equal. Most of the 2 1/2 years they knew each other they were kept apart due to the Napoleonic wars they were both fighting in, but had been married for 8 months and had a baby daughter when Teresa was murdered by Hakeswill, one of the most loathsome villains ever. As a fighting soldier, Sharpe was unable to look after their daughter and left her in the care of Teresa's family. As far as anyone knows, he never saw her again.

Hi, me again. I have been watching Sharpe, and there is a very small but such adorable detail in Sharpe's Enemy which I see no one talk about. Teresa is making a little Sharpe/soldier (I think because of the uniform) plushie for little Antonia, it is only shown in a few moments but it just warms my heart so, so much.

I just love Teresa Moreno so much, its very sad she couldn't see little Antonia grow up.

Next in the series of Avian Napoleonic Friends is of course Richard and Teresa. Kestrels are my favorite raptor, and oh my goodness this tiny fierce predator is perfect for La Aguja. Your Honor I Love Them

Sharpe's Rifles (1993)

them falling asleep in the coach is #1 top cute moment of the entire series. also the fact sharpe is asleep on her shoulder instead of the traditional "woman sleeps on male love interest's shoulder" trope is *chefkiss*

Morning

A something based on a 1930s Spanish Civil War AU for Teresa and Sharpe I will probably never write -when they're back in North England.

@flufftober Not sure if this is Day 1 'New Beginnings or Day 12 'Clinging' -started as 12, ended as 1.

Manchester late-1930s

She slips out from under their covers, rising to her feet and taking half a step from the bed,

But an arm snakes out, his large hand closing softly round her wrist. " 'resa.." her husband mumbles, "Come back"

She turns with the movment, staring down into the half darkness at the lump under the bed-clothes, "Richar' no, you must not be a slug in the bed" Is that how they say it? - "It is morning."

He chuckles deep in his chest, "Slugabed, ye mean -" He tugs lightly on her arm, giving her a crooked smile, "Come back to bed, t' little lass is still sleepin' -we've a while yet."

The accent, once strange to her ears, now familiar, close and yet different to the accent around them in her new home. Hers is now the strange one, which raises eyebrows and causes pinched expressions. He sits up a little, the layers of covers slipping back to show the scar on his chest, where the Nacionale bullet had landed, dug deep, and he'd nearly died. She moves closer, letting him draw her back in.

"I do not want there to be chatter. I am strange enough here."

His eyes harden to ice "Ye my wife Teresa anyone, and Antonia's mother- Anyone has words against you, you remember that." He smiles again "You drove off those Blackshirts smartly enough didn't ye mi Aguja?"

Your accent is atrocious still "Yes." She lets him pull hius arms around her, pulling her back into the bed, "Richard, we must get up."

"Soon." He presses a kiss to the back of her shoulder, rolling them together. "Soon."

JOIN THE TERESA AND SHARPE RABBIT HOLE!!!! (i lovingly extend my hand bc YESSSSS more teresa and sharpe fans 👀)

Haha thanks! I love your Tumblr btw, it made me very happy when I stumbled upon it! I'm definitely going to be rewatching Sharpe over the next couple months. It's been too long and it's too good a show not to check in on from time to time. Along with Mulder and Scully, Sharpe and Teresa were like THE formative couple of my teenage years (I realise this ages me terribly but in my defence they were ~mostly~ reruns even then).

What struck me when I rewatched the first episode yesterday was how well balanced they are as a couple and I'm looking forward to seeing how the dynamic grows and changes as they get to know each other. For most of episode 1 he's bumbling about fighting his own men while she watches with a wry (and horny let's be real) smile. Then when she's going to do her badass partisan thing he tries to forbid her in a manly patriarchal sort of way and she's literally like "who does he think he is? Who does he think I am?" and goes and does it anyway and he accepts that. Then there's the two actors' seamless switching from tough badassery to vulnerable and tender when they're alone together. It's so awesome to see a very macho character like that - I mean, he literally spends that first episode fighting basically everyone - get halfway into the requisite steamy sex scene when his partner is like "no actually" and he just...stops?...without question and without demanding any explanation, and he's so gentle with her generally, except for when she doesn't want him to be. Man, I really wish she was in more episodes. I honestly don't know if I'll keep watching for the ones with his stupid second wife.

Sharpe- Crack 2!

Here's just. Some old garbage that I had intended as replies to some of the asks in my inbox. It's all I have. *drops them into the poor box*

The 35th birthday ass-kicking incident, when Eowyn rides over the top of Boromir's guard for the first time and Faramir suddenly knows what it means to feel true love

Sharpe and Teresa in a nutshell

Candy for the people salivating about Boromir wearing his hair up.

I drew a little bit today for the first time since surgery! I still can't angle my arm to work on my Cintiq, but at least I can use my sketchbook for short periods. Progress, progress, progress.

ROUND 3B, MATCH 2 OUT OF 4

Causes of Death & Propaganda Under the Cut:

Joss Carter

Cause of Death: Murdered in an alleyway

Propaganda:

Very cool and smart, and showed no romantic interest in Reese (until the fated episode), which I really appreciated

Teresa Moreno

Cause of Death: Murdered by her husband's enemy

Propaganda:

After a very rough life, Richard Sharpe had finally found happiness and love with a strong, intelligent woman who was very much his equal. Most of the 2 1/2 years they knew each other they were kept apart due to the Napoleonic wars they were both fighting in, but had been married for 8 months and had a baby daughter when Teresa was murdered by Hakeswill, one of the most loathsome villains ever.
