somniloquence

Don't feel at all pressured to use this, but your post reminded me that I had a couple Sharpe pics I've been meaning to icon. So I just made one, and if you want it, it's yours. And if you don't, that's totally cool too. I won't be at all put out. :)



Totally agreed with what you said about Sharpe's combo of rugged, kick-ass manliness and his soft, tenderness. That's part of what I loved so much about Sharpe and Teresa in the first movie. He respects her so much, and he treats her like something precious. He's this warrior-rough guy, but when he's with her, he's so gentle and careful. I thought that their relationship in Rifles was beautiful because it has the warrior couple thing, which almost always gets to me. Love a woman who can kick-ass side by side with the guy. But it also has a huge element of tenderness. I have up through Sharpe's Honor on tape, but I haven't watched anything past the first one yet because I heard what happens with Teresa and I'm scared to see it. Hee. Eventually I'll do it because Sharpe is a great character on his own, and his relationships with the men are a big draw. But I'm still gonna be gutted, I just know it. *G*
