How every Gothic Heroine is a little neurodivergent in some way

This is how I imagine Byronic heroes have to take care of their girls

It's also exactly the same thing with Cinder, where you have the conflict between the mythology of femme fatale (she doesn't exist/male fantasy) and the Byronic heroine (a masculine archetype) with her role as Maiden in the story (where the Maiden power confers the capacity for magical violence, and is currently rooted in a corruptive cycle, which Cinder herself is perpetuating). There are all those knotted up ideas about the passivity of maidens and the inability for them to engage in anything in stories (which is like... not really true but you know what I mean), so then what does an active maiden look like? You have to find some way to redeem these ideas, in the sense that her redemption arc would follow, and marrying her arc to Jaune's gets the most gender fun. It's the anima and animus baby

#cinder fall is a byronic heroine #jaune is boygirlboy and cinder is girlboygirl if you will #I really like the idea that the gender stuff is implicitly tied up in the mythology/higher ideas of the story #as opposed to the other way around

Aela chuckles open-mouthed into the kiss, an expected but not unwelcome bonus payment, so to speak, for the heart and teeth she hunted for her. While the animal within hungers to assert all her strength in this entanglement, to push and pull and take, the woman is content to discover where Kly’s trail blazes. Her restraint is rewarded as Kly is suddenly everywhere ... chin, arms, neck, all pleasantly burning. She’s gone too soon. Aela is left panting and wanting, yellow eyes narrowed almost as if fixed on prey.

“My pleasure,” she says, her smirk mirroring Kly’s. The other woman has a spark in her eyes that resonates with Aela. She glances up, then returns her gaze to Kly. “Your eyes—the night sky is not the only keeper of stars.”

"Cold eyes, beautiful and otherworldly as the rest of you, but they have seen plenty of cruelty, from others and dealt by your own hands and voice. The cruelty of Sabrina Glevissig, but far less disguised, no pretending. No hiding your haughtiness and feelings of superiority over all others. More book, magically and politically smart than worldly and wise. Honest, intelligent, and arrogant. Ruthless. Not a foe I or any would want to make. As I've said, Winter Queen... though not one through and through. There’s more to you... otherwise wouldn’t have taken the risk that I did with you. Overall, dangerous, damaged goods. Seen the world chew up and spit out many folk likewise... turn them mean... reckon that applies as much to your world. You look as Deidre did when she came to me at Kaer Morhen... but, so far, my face remains somewhat intact. You are damaged royalty, as she was, but unlike her are disciplined and solitary... a bit like me in that way, for all our differences. Though, not alone at least, anymore. Just a matter of healing what damage done to you that I can."

🌋 ((for Cole and Bull))

Send 🌋 and my muse will blurt out the first thing that comes to mind when they see your muse

"Hiding Hiding for so long. Solid walls, safety but never for long enough... You don't seem like a vampire."

"...You stay away from me, I stay away from you and everything gets along..." Bull paused for a moment considering what he blunted out. "But I can figure out how to behave, that's on me not you."

Came for Zel and the blog aesthetic, stuck around because the mun is a precious bean and her muse is wonderful to interact with.

What drew you to my blog initially, and what, so far, has made you stay?

Thank you for the sweet words! 

When I came across your blog I hit that follow button so fast. Kly is great and I am already fully invested in the interactions between our characters. Looking forward to more of it, wherever it goes. You’re a great writer and I enjoy every reply.

Catherine Morland's parents are described as "plain, matter-of-fact people who seldom aimed at wit of any kind" and all we see on the page of her mother is definitely more plain sense than feeling sensibility. So it is very amusing to me that we also get this account of her taste in books, in a conversation between Isabella and Catherine:

“It is so odd to me, that you should never have read Udolpho before; but I suppose Mrs. Morland objects to novels.” “No, she does not. She very often reads Sir Charles Grandison herself; but new books do not fall in our way.” “Sir Charles Grandison! That is an amazing horrid book, is it not? I remember Miss Andrews could not get through the first volume.” “It is not like Udolpho at all; but yet I think it is very entertaining.”

The History of Sir Charles Grandison is an epistolary novel in six volumes from 1753 (so about 45 years old at the time of Northanger Abbey) by Samuel Richardson, and it features:

The beautiful, virtuous young orphan Harriet Byron, with a fortune of 15000 pounds, being pursued by a whole fleet of suitors.

The dastardly Sir Hargrave kidnapping Miss Byron from a masquerade ball and imprisoning her to force her into a marriage

The valiant Sir Charles Grandison coming to her rescue and fighting Sir Hargrave until he can bring her to safety

Miss Byron and Sir Charles falling in love but knowing that it cannot be, because! he is promised to another woman!

The other woman breaking off the engagement, the hero and heroine getting married, and then valiantly stepping up to help the Other Woman stand up to her family

Sir Hargrave dying of a dueling wound after mistreating yet another woman and leaving Miss Byron part of his estate to beg her forgiveness

It also includes a lot of moralising on religion, virtue, motherhood, and good society, which is probably why it a perfect pick for Mrs. Morland. It's all the thrill of abduction and rescue and devoted pining, but neatly dressed up in a morality tale about being good and proper. So you need not blush to say you enjoyed it and can even recommend it to your daughters.

It is also a book that is known for the constancy of its characters. Their morality, good or bad, is very fixed and plain to see. Which also fits with much of the Morlands' approach to people.

All I'm seeing is 16-year-old Catherine almost tripping over her feet to get to her mother with her current volume of Sir Charles Grandison clutched to her chest. Absolutely squealing with excitement over the Miss Byron being rescued from Hargrave's carriage by a virtuous nobleman who refused to even draw his sword because he abhors violence, while her mother placidly comments on how pleasant it is to see kindness and goodness so well reflected in literature.
