I <3 doing deep dives into the references behind the character names and the real world locations and time periods each area is inspired by

"langley fans try soooo hard to make it sound as if 7b was good yes she wrote vfv but sometimes you have to accept that authors can make a hit-or-miss book and dont deny it every time 7b is critised you all bring up vfv as if that proves anything"

Music for the King

The morning sunlight, softly filtering through the tall, ornamented windows of Versailles, spilled across the polished marble floors like liquid gold. The sun slowly rose over the manicured palace gardens, where neatly trimmed hedges and fountains created the illusion of an orderly paradise. For Daeron, once a singer of the starry nights of Doriath, this place was something entirely different: grandeur, but of another kind—lacking the magic of nature and closely tied to human ambition. He walked down this corridor like along a strange alley of memories that did not belong to him, his ears catching the distant rustling of silk and velvet, the faint whispers of courtiers murmuring in the shadows of the arches.

Daeron was dressed in the latest court fashion: his luxurious coat of dark blue velvet, embroidered with silver and adorned with lace, seemed to glow in the morning light, and the gilded buttons, set with small diamonds, gleamed on his chest. The lace delicately embraced his wrists and collar, emphasizing the elegance and slenderness of his figure. The soles of his shoes quietly clicked on the marble floor, the sound echoing through the perfectly symmetrical halls lined with massive mirrors that reflected all the brilliance of the court.

His keen sense of smell caught the sweet scent of lilies and roses, mixed with the musky notes of amber and spices that emanated from the women in towering wigs and tightly laced corsets. In this strange world of mortal fragrances and colors, Daeron felt alien, as if the very air here was different—heavier, more saturated than in the forests of his homeland. Every step, every glance from the courtiers, who stole furtive looks at him, felt foreign to him, yet at the same time, intrigued him.

Versailles, with its multitude of mirrors, seemed to him a paradox. These mortals, so ephemeral, so fleeting, surrounded themselves with reflections and symbols of eternity. Gilded statues, marble columns, and halls bathed in light—all of this screamed of vanity, of a desire for immortality through material splendor. But what could compare to the songs sung under the light of the Silmarils? Nothing here breathed the kind of timelessness that Daeron knew.

Pausing for a moment before an enormous mirror set in a golden frame adorned with vine motifs, he gazed at his reflection. His face, young and fair as all elves, appeared still and serene against the backdrop of this bustling world. The powder that they had made him apply could not hide the faint glow of his skin, a mark of one born in older, more distant ages. His eyes, deep and dark like the night sky over Beleriand, looked back at him with a hint of irony and melancholy. How far he was from those whom they called rich and powerful here, though it seemed that all this brilliance was meant only for them.

Behind him, footsteps echoed, and soon a footman appeared in the doorway, clad in an elegant livery of red velvet embroidered with gold. His movement was precise, rehearsed, as if every step contained centuries of tradition, of servitude and obedience.

“His Majesty awaits you, Monsieur Daeron,” he announced, bowing respectfully.

The elf gave a barely perceptible nod, allowing himself a quiet smile. Louis XIV, the Sun King, wished to hear his music.

and if i said that alex vlahos' philippe i, duke of orléans, has similarities with david oakes' juan borgia? hedonistic second sons and younger brothers who are overshadowed by their more famous older brothers whom they wanted to be loved and respected by....a flavorsome pattern

Marie Antoinette was not a victim who was a naive young girl who didn’t know anything. She was extremely more conservative than her husband. She was literally pushing 40, she was known to be racist(even if she adopted a black child), homophobic, and just so classist. She would even pretend to be a starving poor person with her friends. Yes she didn’t have much political power, but she was still queen, she still contributed to the problem. Btw, Sofia Coppola herself said that the movie “Marie Antoinette” was completely inaccurate.

Swordswoman Showdown Round 1 Part 2

Alexandra Jennings (The Medoran Chronicles) vs Lady Oscar Fracois de Jarjayes (Rose of Versailles)

(Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Propaganda below cut

Alexandra Jennings

Is the true owner of a magic blue sword that she can summon or dismiss at will, and shrink or grow at will. It also bursts into flames upon contact with her in later books. Goes through so much swordfighting training so she can keep pace with the meyarins in a fight (elf like people-long lives, faster, stronger, better senses than humans). Needs her sword skills to fight the genocidal maniac trying to wipe out or enslave humanity; She's so cool! Her friends are so cool! She trains in a sentient library on occasion!

Lady Oscar

She is the commander of the royal guard of the Versailles Palace, also the bodyguard of the Queen Marie Antoniette, she has a thin sword and excels with it to the point that one of the first plot points is how she can defeat any man while also embracing being a woman; I love her and she gets all the ladies at court flustered, very gnc character she is described both as handsome and beautiful and she is so cool and techaes another girl to fight with swords and she cucks the monarchy when discivering the inequality outside the palace :v idk i just think she is iconic

I'll argue that Lady Oscar is *the* pioneer for sword women in shoujo anime, she walked so Utena could run, and inspired a bunch of other anime outside the demographic, like Beserk. TLDR Lady Oscar is one of the best female leads with a sword; She's hot. I feel like the 70's-80's era of anime is often neglected. Swords. I'll be surprised if no one else nominates Rose of Versailles.

If you think Utena is swordy, this woman INSPIRED her creation. She’s badass and better than everyone at the sword; Everyone is in love with her. And I mean EVERYONE. Also, Rococo aesthetic and gorgeous artwork, AND she’s a big BIG deal in early shoujo and still is.

a soldier for france + swordfights often; "Despite being raised as if she were a boy and dressing in males' clothes, Oscar is open about being female. Even as she embraces her femininity, she uses her male position to gain freedoms that she could never have as a lady of the court."
