1966 Musketeers squee
-This is quite brilliant. It seems to be faithful to the book, so it has tons of the same lols I love about the book in the first place. WIN.
-Jeremy Brett is so fucking beautiful I could *cry*. Really. I know this is nothing new, but *sigh*. He was about as beautiful as a man could get.
-LOLOLOL BRAYSHAW IN A BLOND WIG. But no eyepatch! Which is a bonus. All the wigs in this are shit, but I can forgive those for little things like that--things that prove they've read the sodding novel. Rochefort never had an eyepatch in the books! And they gave him a crazy scar, which IS in the books! And FUCKIT, this has SO MUCH WIN AND PRETTY that I can't not picspam:
Hapless! Beautiful!
"Lol, country boi. I shall pose camply and observe."
D'Artagnan: "COME AND HAVE A GO IF YOU THINK YOU'RE 'ARD ENOUGH." Rochefort: "Pose. Camp."
AND D'ARTAGNAN IS *SQUEAKING* AND ROCHEFORT IS LEERING AND SMARMY AT HIM AND I THINK THIS JUST BECAME INCREDIBLY SLASHY.
"SQUEAK! SIRE! YOU ARE A SMUG GIT! SQUEAK! HAVE AT YOU!"
"Nnnnyeeesss." (GROUSE IS HYPERVENTILATING AT THIS POINT)
I HAVE TEARS OF JOY IN MY EYES. NO, RLY. ROCHEFORT IS SLASHY EVEN WITH D'ARTAGNAN'S CRAP YELLOW HORSE.
D'Artagnan: D:
Rochefort: "I laugh seldom, sir, but I laugh when it pleases me."
D'Artagnan: "Turn and fight, or I shall strike you from behind!"
Rochefort: "Strike me?" IS THAT WHAT THEY CALL IT THESE DAYS?
Oh god, I just hurt my throat laughing. I... I.. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Observe:
D'Artagnan SHRIEKS, waves his sword about and actually SHRIEKS "FIGHT!"
And Rochefort FALLS ON HIS ARSE FROM SHEER WTF. I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP.
(And he also gets up with half-hot, half-lolarious limbo dancer movements.) And and and he also does CRAZY amounts of CLOAK-SWISHING. And and and tying of laces on his outfit and he's like the campest Rochefort ever and I HAVE LOVE.
And the fights are rather well choreographed (by Peter Diamond, of course). Aaand for moar Holmes win, this is directed by Peter Hammond.
Milady's Mary Peach, Astrid off Enemy of the World. This is full of ppls from Troughton serials.
Ah, the art of suffering beautifully.
Still hapless.
EMO MANPAIN. Of beauty.
He's turned on by the sight of dozens of manly Musketeers engaged in fencing practice.
PRETTY.
PRETTY and enamoured:
...of Brian Blessed. OW. BRAIN SCRUB.
Here, have moar pretty:
I believe "fey" is the correct word to describe this.
And he spots eviltiemcock again!
But that leads to the lovely bit where he pisses off Athos, Porthos and Aramis and gets himself challenged into duels with all of them. Blessed!Porthos shouts at him, of course. And manhandles him in a disturbing way.
GUH. When he picks up Aramis's dodgy love-token hanky. Sadly, the Aramis isn't v. hot:(. Why do they keep doing that? He's supposed to be like the prettiest of them all.
"At least I'll be killed by a Musketeer!" Oh, d'Artagnan, how I love you.
AND THAT WAS JUST THE FIRST EPISODE. God knows how I'm going to get through the other nine, but OMG, THE LOVE.
ETA: Argh, HTML fixede nao. I hate the Semagic preview not showing when your HTML is b0rked...
