found an interesting translation thing in today's les mis letters chapter. i've been listening to the donougher translation bc i haven't read that one through yet and i heard "bristling and farouche" and thought, huh, i know that word! and hapgood says "bristling and wild" so i suppose that makes sense? so i went to cross-reference and turns out in the french (at least my editions) the phrase is "hérissée et fauve". my french is extremely basic but a quick dictionary search gives me "wild animal" for "fauve", which, okay i guess, that's why hapgood has gone with "wild", but then why has donougher gone with "farouche"? it's a loanword from french too and it's used similarly in english as in french from what i can tell - but why pick another french word meaning "wild" when "wild" is right there!

Right, no one has ever accused me of being the brightest (heh) but to me 'is your light on?' is literally asking 'are you there?' Not just in a physical sense but in a metaphorical sense too, especially with the push and pull of Steve and Eddie's interactions in the latest chapters. They're never 'there' at the same time, or in the same place - they keep missing each other.
Things seemed to be looking up at the end of Steve's POV but ya never know with these two... Holding out hope that they'll figure it out soon enough 😭
god i somehow missed this, but. this is perfect and ily!!! you get me.

love a kingship narrative and doing things for honor but what's better than that even is the guy next to him who holds no particularly strong belief other than specific attachments to individual people they care about and believing in something by proxy, and likely dying for it. more than anything that's what it's about
