Inktober 2019 #12 “Dragon” (& “The Cardinal’s Blades” by Pierre Pevel) 

(Based on a portrait of Richelieu by Philippe de Champaigne and an illustration by Rolland Barthélémy)  

Can I suggest ?

When you have a type and it’s tall, dark, emotionally compromised men with only one eye. >u>

It’s so annoying how some straight/cis people will believe in wild complot theories, but when you question the gender binary in front of them, suddenly YOU are the crazy one that got endoctrinated by the Internet...

Et voici un fanart, cette fois de la série de romans de Pierre Pevel Les Lames du Cardinal (aux éditions Bragelonne ou SF Folio). Je viens de terminer le tome 1. J’ai mis un peu de temps à rentrer dans l’histoire, car il y a beaucoup de personnages à introduire, mais une fois qu’on plonge dans l’intrigue, impossible de le lâcher ! J’ai hâte de lire la suite ! Alors de quoi ça parle ?! Eh bien, les lames du cardinal sont un groupe d’espions du cardinal de Richelieu qui vont reprendre du service. Au premier abord, on se dit que c’est un roman de capes et d’épées mais pas que !! Car Pierre Pevel mêle aussi à ces intrigues une dimension fantastique, car les humains vivent étroitement avec des dragons !! J’ai beaucoup aimé ce mélange de capes et d’épées et de fantasy (un peu comme dans la Rose écarlate, quelque part…). Pour ce fanart, j’ai décidé de dessiner un des personnages qui m’intrigue beaucoup : Saint Lucq ! Je suis dans ma période “beau ténébreux mystérieux,”, haha !! Avec un petit dragon noir ! Voilà, je lirai la suite des aventures des lames avec beaucoup d’impatience en tout cas !!

What is a Rapier?

A Rapier is a one-handed, thrust-centric sword common to the Renaissance. The word first begins to be used in France in the late 15th century, referring to swords as an “Epée Rapiere,” and it continues to see common use into the mid 17th century, and even into the 18th century in countries such as Spain.

Common sub-types of Rapier include the swept hilt,

cup hilt,

pappenheimer,

and ring hilt (also called a seven ring, or some variation thereupon,)

and the rapier is likely the weapon which has the most manuals written on its use. Contrary to popular belief, Rapiers are not particularly light swords, sometimes weighing as much as longswords, up to 5 lbs/2.25 kg.

You don’t owe an explanation of your orientation or gender identity to anyone. You do not have to prove yourself. You do not owe them that emotional labor.

So, I guess that I, too, will partake in this great tradition called "Doing a presentation for class about how Nick Carraway was gay for Jay Gatsby".

Je serais vraiment ravie que tu l'écrives, un jour, quand tu auras le temps !

Mais, en effet, prends ton temps, ça me laisse le temps de finir de lire les autres tomes. ^^

Pourquoi faut-il encore que j'aille me fourrer dans un fandom anglophone, hein ? J'sais plus comment on écrit en anglais, j'ai oublié, et pis j'aime mieux écrire en français d'abord. Je vais finir par initier un fandom “Les lames du cardinal” ou n'importe quoi où il y aura des francophones, na !

Je suis totalement d'accord si tu initie un fandom Les lames du cardinal ! Je n'ai lu que le premier tome pour l'instant, mais je le trouve génial ! C'est décevant qu'il y ait si peu de contenu en ligne à propos de ce livre...

i was waiting in line at a small con, looking at all the cosplays to pass the time and then i saw an aziraphale?? but by the time i recognized the character (blond curly wig, round glasses, fire sword, tiny fluffy wings, and the G.O book) it was too late to call them :/ but while i was looking around for stuff at the con i was also keeping an eye for them and i honest to god didn't see them again until AFTER i decided to leave, which was postponed a bit the time i took a pic and talked w them :D

My cosplay of Aziraphale is nearly finished.

My Aziraphale cosplay in progress !

Did you notice that apocalypse has a tendency to happen on the 25th of August ? According to Gravity Falls wiki, the 25th of August is the last day of Weirdmageddon, while, according to a post made by lunasong, Good Omens apocalypse happens on the 25th of August...

Indeed so! I had made note of the Good Omens date myself some time ago, and I remember smirking the first time that I realized it was a Gravity Falls thing, too. Something about those Dog Days of August…

Crowley :

I wanna be the very best. Like no one ever was ! Armageddon is our real test. Saving the world is our cause ! Oooh ! We will travel across England, Searching far and wide. The Antichrist to understand The power that’s inside !

Good Omens ! It’s you and me, I know it’s our destiny ! Good Omens ! Ooh you’re my best friend, (not related to Queen) In a world we must defend ! Good Omens ! A heart so true ! Our friendship will pull us through !

Gotta save the world ! Gotta save the world !

Aziraphale :

Every challenge along the way, With courage we will face ! We will battle everyday, To claim our rightful place ! Come with me, The time is right ! There’s no better team ! Hand in hand, We’ll win the fight…

Crowley:

You’re enough a bastard to be worth liking !

Both:

Good Omens ! It’s you and me, I know it’s my destiny ! Good Omens ! Ooh you’re my best friend, (not related to Queen again…) In a world we must defend ! Good Omens ! A heart so true ! Our friendship will pull us through ! Gotta save the world ! Gotta save the world !

GOOD OMENS !

In French, Vanellope and Tracer are voiced by the same person.

Was watching some clips of Wreck-It Ralph and couldn’t help notice the similarities of Vanellope’s glitching and Tracer’s warping.  So here’s the quickest of sketches.
