Eugénie, Louise and Vampa / The Count of Monte Cristo, Ep 6

[eleancrvances]

not a reviewer saying they "added a lesbian" to the count of monte cristo... my girl eugénie has been there since 1844

[guillermogoth3000]

Absolutely adore the way the Count doesn't comment anything on Euénie's love interest. This man excuses eternal desire of revenge and urge to hurt people in unimaginable ways but draws the line at homophobia

[ralphlanyon]

they included the eugenie/louise storyline in the 2024 count of monte cristo miniseries! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[pen-inks]

Happy pride to everyone but specifically Eugine and Louise from the Count of Monte Cristo and Basil Hallward from Dorian Gray

Dorian did NOT deserve you

[besotted-with-austen]

The Count of Montecristo: I will ruin everyone involved in my downfall, even their children! They will share their parents’ sins, they are as bad as them!

Albert de Morcef: I am somewhat vain and spoiled but I am still a good guy that really cares about honour and justice! Also, my mom is great and I love spending my time with her!

Valentine de Villefort: I am too nice and pure for any of the intrigue that is happening around me, I am trying my hardest to navigate my life without hurting others or myself in the process!

Eugenie Danglars: I’m literally too gay and in love with my girlfriend to care about anything else.

The Count of Montecristo: AS BAD AS THEM!

[monocuri]

Be like Eugenie Danglars and Louise D'Armilly who didn't need the 'one-bed trope' forced on them to go sleep in the same bed while eloping together

[whatthymeizzit]

Eugenie Danglars and Louise got a hotel room with two beds and only used one of them. Like rip to ur only one bed trope but I'm different

[a-mossy-amethyst]

Shout out to Alexandre Dumas for inventing lesbianism in France

Eugénie Danglars and Louise d'Armilly

from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

[kajaono]

Hold on!

I just realize that… Eugenie was nearly married to her half-brother?! Yikes!

NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WERE LESBIANS IN THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

[tattersailspacedragon]

There's a sapphic couple in the Count of Montecristo and nobody talks about it? Or at least I knew nothing of it???

[vickyvicarious]

"Ah, you do well to ask,” said Eugenie, laughing; “I forgot that I was Hercules, and you only the pale Omphale!”

First the Sappho reference, then Eugenie comparing herself to Hercules, and Louise to Omphale in the same sentence... the Omphale whose most famous myth is from when she "is the mistress of the hero Heracles during a year of required servitude, a scenario that, according to some, offered writers and artists opportunities to explore sexual roles and erotic themes."

Then, with a promptitude which indicated that this was not the first time she had amused herself by adopting the garb of the opposite sex, Eugenie drew on the boots and pantaloons, tied her cravat, buttoned her waistcoat up to the throat, and put on a coat which admirably fitted her beautiful figure.

Eugenie dresses like a man sometimes...!

Then she grasped the front hair, which she also cut off, without expressing the least regret; on the contrary, her eyes sparkled with greater pleasure than usual under her ebony eyebrows. “Oh, the magnificent hair!” said Louise, with regret.

“And am I not a hundred times better thus?” cried Eugenie, smoothing the scattered curls of her hair, which had now quite a masculine appearance; “and do you not think me handsomer so?”

Gives herself a dramatic Mulan haircut then looks delighted and calls herself handsome!

“What are you looking at?”

“I am looking at you; indeed you are adorable like that! One would say you were carrying me off.”

“And they would be right, pardieu!”

This exchange...

I love Eugenie more every time, but this chapter especially is a goldmine.

[mzannthropy]

My wish was not to confine myself to domestic cares, or the caprices of any man, but to be an artist, and consequently free in heart, in person, and in thought.

I know Eugenie Danglars is a lesbian, but can I just say I relate to this so much?
