If they ever do make a remake of Blake’s 7, I urge you all to watch the original, especially for the incomparably evil and sexy Servalan - fashion icon, drama queen, evil empress - as perfidious as a snake, ruthless, murderous, and supremely ambitious.

“Where there’s life, there’s threat.”

Is anyone else a bit excited about a possible Blake’s 7 reboot from The Last of Us director

Jacqueline Pearce serving looks in Blake’s 7: The Inside Story

I love Servalan’s costumes as a design concept bc aside from anything else they really feel like a deliberate extension of her strategy to manipulate and intimidate people. Yes she is rich and important enough to maintain this level of high glam at all times no matter how impractical or extra. Yes she’s going to show up to commit atrocities or tick off simple formalities and look equally incredible doing both. She can’t fail to turn heads wherever she goes by radiating sheer confidence and success and that’s how she wants it. And she can dazzle pretty much everyone with her looks but it’s a plus if someone useful is attracted to her - after all why wouldn’t they be? It only gives her more power over them. It’s almost like Servalan is her drag persona and the performance is her image as a political figure. Truly living up to her name bc she’s never not serving.

God Avon and Servalan really take the classic “mortal enemies with obvious sexual tension” to another level. They kinda hate each other but have undeniable chemistry and similarities in their approach. He envies her status and influence, her protection from consequences….her freedom. Her casual ruthlessness that despite his best efforts his heart will not allow. She can never betray him bc he would never be so naive as to think she’d actually keep her word. So much simpler than his real friends. He has a clear penchant for dangerous women and she is exploiting it for all it’s worth. Nothing is more tantalising to her than someone who understands her schemes and could be an asset to her but refuses. Who is almost tempted whenever they meet but keeps rejecting her for a rebel hero instead. They are toying with each other’s lives and they want to win but they’re also enjoying the game too much to end it too fast. They’re unhinged and obsessive enough individually but put together they are feral. They scare me and I want to study whatever is going on with them under a microscope.

Rip servalan you would’ve loved fashion designer iris van herpen

I was just listening to Beth McCarthy’s “Hot and Stupid” and had this image of it being a crack!vid of Tarrant/Servalan in Sand from Tarrant’s point of view.

You’re hot and I’m stupid
I know what’s good for me
And you’re not but I’ll do it
‘Cause it’s so pretty
I didn’t wear this underwear for no one to see it
So take me home, take it off 'cause baby you’re hot
And I’m stupid (I’m stupid)

You’re wearing your red flags on your sleeve
But if I rip off your shirt, I won’t even see
You’re beautiful carnage
You could do a lot of damage
But if you’re hеavy handed with me
I think that I can handle thе heat

3.1 Aftermath

The way he looks at her at the end 🫦

I recently indulged my fetish for women with short hair by posting a collection of lassies with shorn locks from sci-fi and fantasy. All the usual suspects were there, Natalie, Sigourney, Florence et al. But when the dust had settled, Jacqueline Pearce had garnered three times as many likes as any of the other ‘usual suspects’.

Maybe you all aren’t savages after all…

Servalan posted a tasty angsty drabble for Merry Month of Cohen!!!
