#and i really loved chev and delphines relationship

[knightofmordred]

i really don't understand the fandom hatred of delphine. i remember constantly seeing people say she was manipulative to chev and only used him to benefit herself, but she literally ?? didn't.

the only times she asked him for help were not for herself but for other people (and she only asked once or twice).

she didn't love chevalier the way he loved her, which is fine! but reverted to his old self and used that against her when she asked him for help.

i agree she shouldn't have called him a coward and made him feel guilty for not wanting to commit forgery due to the hefty price he would pay if caught, but that entire scene was chev saying no because he's pissed off she doesn't share the same feelings as he does. and at the same time, again, she didn't ask for help for herself but for other nobles!

delphine was a brave woman who stood her ground when it came to her religious beliefs and her rights. it's one of the reasons chev admired her so much, and it was he who offered to help multiple times out of his own accord.

delphine also helped chev to mature and change simply by existing. chevalier literally became a better person because of her and risked his life for herself and for other people which he never would have done in the past.

i think the criticism is hypocritical because the same people who call delphine manipulative, when she isn't, are the same who don't say a word when it comes to phillipe's toxic traits and are fine with shipping him with chev? so it really just seems like they don't like delphine simply because she isn't phillipe.

Versailles season 3 thoughts

I just finished my Versailles rewatch and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the last season

- I HATE Madame de Maintenon so much you have no idea

- Three of her worst crimes: getting Liselotte’s baby taken away, firing Chev as master of ceremonies, and starting the whole ‘get rid of the Protestants’ thing

- It was very cathartic when her nude portraits got exposed

- We really took Madame de Montespan for granted

- You know it’s bad when you hate another mistress more than the one who participated in an attempted baby sacrifice

- I don’t like the ‘man in the iron mask’ plot line very much, I just don’t find it that interesting

- The whole thing was just Phillipe getting gaslit until the end

- RIP Maria-Theresa, you were a girlboss

- (the way she died is my WORST NIGHTMARE, I have a bug phobia, especially them crawling into my ears/nose/mouth)

- CHEVALIER’S HAIR THIS SEASON IS SO AMAZING

- They also give Liselotte way better hairstyles this season, she looks so pretty with her hair in a braid

- I don’t like the Paris people at all, sorry they are boring

- I know a lot of people like Guillaume but I don’t care about him

- I don’t like Delphine (I call her ‘that woman’) because I feel like she is taking advantage of Chev

- Like he is risking his life to help her and her friends and she is like “I wouldn’t marry you if you were the last person on earth”

- It was better towards the end I guess but I’m not a fan of their relationship

- I do love bi Chev though <3

- When they burned down Delphine’s father’s house I was like nooooo that house is so pretty

- I do respect her for keeping her faith but she needs to think about self preservation more

- If it was me I would just lie about being Catholic and continue to be Protestant in secret (I’m Lutheran irl)

- I hate the Vatican but I hate Louis even more

- I actually really like Colbert (RIP)

- The Portuguese infanta was kinda slay and Louis was super rude to her

- Louis thinking he is a god makes me so angry

- Can I just point out how during the thaumaturgy Louis didn’t even touch the people??? He just hovered his hands over them like he didn’t want to get dirty poor people germs

- Why did they have to do that to Fabien :( let him go be with Sophie or something

- This season is just Louis being stupid

- Last three episodes: screaming crying throwing up

- Love Monchelotte at the end though

- Overall: imo it is the worst season but still worth watching
