Feliz cumpleaños to the man who gave us all the Aramises!

May there be many more to come!

Still loving the contrasts. And the jacket.

If Case You've Ever Wondered What Chewie Sounds Like To Han

So we all know Aramis as- well, Aramis, right? But all I've been thinking about is how technically his name is René.

Aramis is just an "alias." And that thought has been plaguing me. How did he get it- why doesn't he go by René anymore, if he ever did? I've never read the books, but for all my google searching I can't find an answer. And what does that, combined with my bbc show fixated brain result in...

Well, a lovely little headcanon of course! We know Aramis grew up with his mother in the brothel, at least for a little while. So I like to think that she named him Aramis. Maybe she never got it put on a birth certificate- because of the lack of a father or her profession or what have you.

But then Aramis' father comes to take him away, and from what I recall he was more well off. Definitely of higher class than a prostitute in the eyes of 17th century France. His children would have a birth certificate. And because I am an avid lover of Aramis' mother, and a hater of his father, the man definitely wouldn't see "Aramis" as a "fitting" name. So when he gets the legal side all sorted- our beloved Aramis is actually named René, under the law at least.

And Aramis would hate it- not only would suddenly being called something totally different be weird, but Aramis loves his mother. He loves the name she gave him.

Which is why we know him as Aramis. As soon as he was out from under his father's thumb, René was gone and Aramis was back. He signed up for the Musketeers under that name- legal papers be damned. It's Aramis' own way of showing his love for his mother, while also speaking out against his father.

He was never René. He was always Aramis.

I love this headcannon!

i just saw the tag “canon complicit” instead of “canon compliant” and im laughing its like “canon is a criminal act that i unfortunately support with this fic”

The Three Grades:

Canon Compliant: “This fic goes along with canon.” (Because I like it? Because I’m too tired to disagree by writing my own fic? Who knows? The author may or may not tell us.)

Canon Compatible: “Listen, I know it ISN’T canon, but think of it as Microsoft Office for Mac, it’s COMPATIBLE with canon, and that counts.”

Canon Complicit: “I have not died a hero, so I have become an accessory to the Villainy of Canon.”

Canon Compatible is a great term for when your fic is Probably Not What Tolkien Would Have Wanted but it doesn’t really contradict anything in canon either

#you can install this fic without canon crashing and that’s what matters

Canon Composite: “This is made up of the pieces of canon I accept, while discarding the stupid stuff.”
