#see Jane build

I love that Elizabeth and Darcy are so ready to effectively tell each other they're full of shit. This happens a bunch of times, but I was re-reading their conversation at the Netherfield Ball and they're both kind of refreshingly Done.

[Darcy:] “Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?” [Elizabeth:] “Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet, for the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as possible.” [Darcy:] “Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying mine?” “Both,” replied Elizabeth archly; “for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb.” “This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,” said he.

It's also pretty funny, because I suspect Darcy is thinking of this sort of thing in a later conversation at Rosings:

“You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me. But I will not be alarmed, though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.” “I shall not say that you are mistaken,” he replied, “because you could not really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know, that you find great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which, in fact, are not your own.”

#i love elizabeth cloaking what is obviously a specific personal insult in ostensible solidarity that is in fact the opposite of solidarity #but also that darcy completely sees through it and just says so (then and implicitly later on) #and later in the netherfield ball conversation #darcy actively warns her that she shouldn't form her opinion on him bc at the moment it won't reflect well on either of them #which he is completely correct about—yet he doesn't connect this w/ his assumptions about her encouraging him at all #then or later! #also i appreciate that no matter how many times they challenge each other through social mechanisms #it just never breaks through their mutual arrogance lmao #but it builds until they reach the point where they just drop the bullshit altogether and say exactly what they think and believe #and doing /that/ with each other is what catapults the other one onto their respective character arcs #(w/ the hunsford scene and darcy's letter) #anghraine babbles #long post #austen blogging #fitzwilliam darcy #elizabeth bennet #otp of otps #pride and prejudice #jane austen

Not an ask or a request - just wanted to send some love your way. I’m on my third reread of TRT and I’m so excited for new stuff but I’m also loving everything you’ve written so far. Thank you for giving us a window into characters and a world that lives off the page. Hope you are having a wonderful spring.

Love from NYC!!

Thank you so, so much anon! 😭 I'm so happy you're enjoying it. I love widening the world, delving into all the chaos and adventures going on in this universe just outside of the canon narrative POV. There's just so much to explore, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I'm just as eager to get back into it, and I feel like I'm getting there, but the patience is still VERY much appreciated. Things were rough for a bit, but spring is definitely feeling like an improvement. <3

Much love back from my cold little city!

#one thing i really wanted to do is show how like #all the stuff that happens on the Grand Scale TM with the Avengers #and even to a certain extent the things Matt does that affects the city at large #kinda snowball into all these things on street level #on top of those decisions tipping dominoes elsewhere #like White Coat's connection to Stryker #it's something i always liked about DD (and the other defenders) being a balance to the Big Guys #i like seeing all this stuff at street level where to a certain extent they're all down in the muck #DD did a lovely job of building that world and fleshing that out #and so it felt natural to do the same thing and take that *further* in TRT #we flesh the Kitchen out even more #here are the people who trust DD and the little churches dealing with rising tensions over enhanced people #here are the scrappy little runaways that don't trust SHIELD after DC and the little criminal fishes who just want to avoid Fisk #here's a SHIELD agent too low on the totem pole to be one of Coulson's and here's Jane whose best defense is literally running away #I LOVE being able to run all this alongside canon #ANYWAY #thank you so much for dropping this in my box #it made me so so happy! #the red thread

TikTok girlies will be like: this is the HOTTEST man I've EVER seen and then it's AI Ruhn/Rhys art of a man with a Hapsburg jaw, a tail growing from his shoulder, and another artists signature in the corner they didn't know how to edit out

#not to kink shame I guess #but THATS the hottest man you've ever seen? #he just crawled out of nuclear waste #he's the Shrek villain with dark hair #he would absolutely through Mary Jane off a building to bait Peter Parker #hes one unspeakable tragedy from dying his hair green and calling himself the joker #anti ai art #I've never see one good one and I never will

on the one hand i keep getting thoughts for a cute lil romance book. on the other hand i never READ romance books so like who the fuck am i to contribute to the genre?

#writeblr #potential wips #ok but fr though does anyone have any recommendations if i wanna read more romance #even if i don't end up working on this idea i still think that reading diverse genres is important to building myself as a writer #the only romance i've really read and enjoyed was you and me on vacation / the people we meet on vacation by emily henry #i have jane eyre on my bookshelves because i have been wanting to revisit it #i studied it for gcses and didn't enjoy it #but i was also an edgy little teenage brat so i want to see how my opinions have changed since then #romance books #romance genre #romance wips #romance book recommendations

“You are speaking treason,” Laurence said, without feeling, oddly calm; the words only a recitation of fact, distant.

“Very well,” Temeraire said, “if I am an animal, and may be poisoned off like an inconvenient rat, I cannot be expected to care; and I do not. You cannot tell me I should obey; you cannot tell me I should stand idle—”

“It is treason!” Laurence said.

Temeraire stopped, and looked at him only. Laurence said, low and exhausted, “It is treason. Not disobedience, not insubordination; it cannot—there is no other name which it can bear. This Government is not of my party; my King is ill and mad; but still I am his subject. You have sworn no oath, but I have.” He paused. “I have given my word.”

...

“Then I must go alone,” Temeraire said wretchedly, so softly that for once there was real difficulty in making out the words. “I will go alone.”

Hi this scene breaks me every time

#temeraire #massive props to the slow build up of the realization that the admiralty doesn't see dragons as more than another vessel. a beast of burden #the snippets of debate among scientists whether dragons are wholly intelligent #the dismissive attitude that dragons are expected to go back to work mere days after recovering from sickness #that said sickness might be used in genocide. a clearing of europe's dragons only ever seen as a means to an end #when jane says “i'm sure they'll find a nicer name for it in the history books” silent and resigned to carry the orders through #this scene defines the state of dragon affairs for decades to come. incredible #also yes hi people who see my tags i like rambling here

Iron man married a mutant. But have we ever thought of a Spider-Man varient dating a mutant? Like, let's tie those 2 together cause i wanna see it.

Like here me out real quick. A mutant trained after THE storm because she's trying to learn her powers as a high school teen. Add some angst. Add some story to it. Let it marinate. And since the x men are in the same universe as the avengers and Spider-Man, she's bound to meet some people but rarely folks their own age. And the story flows from there. Nothing force. Just random meetings here and there till an incident leads the varient to become friends and they bond and bada bing, you got yourself a story.

That's a million dollar idea right there.

#I'm tired of seeing like 60 mary janes and 40 Gwen's with different named Spider-Man varients #like lets add some spice #make it really worth the while #and like lets not create a character just for romance. give a backstory or something. build that shit and make it a slow burn #Spider-Man #x men #x men comics #spider-man comics #spider man miles morales

i have many many thoughts about rose & tentoo and how their relationship would evolve in this verse. about how you can't just take the love you have for one person and put it on someone else. not even a clone, a regeneration, a metacrisis. about how that doesn't mean you can't love them, or that you can't fall in love with them the same way, but that love has to be for them.

#it is relevant it just isn't relevant. right now. #but i do think about them a lot. #i think about them still living their lives after even leaves. think about rose and donna bonding. think about rose working for torchwood #and seeing a new side to jack and new sides to herself as well because she has to be there for the whole CoE thing. #think about tentoo transitioning because she is trans have i mentioned she's trans yet. she is. even doesn't know that yet because they #weren't there but they will someday. #i think about them all being at donna's wedding. and about a rose noble who grows up knowing the woman she took her name from. #they're a fambly.......... #i think about rose actually not keeping the whole doctor/aliens/mind wipe for your own protection/etc thing from tentoo for very long #about how working through both that being kept from her but also how it was killing rose to do that. how rose had to tell her. #is a fundamental part of what they build everything on now. they grow together. #i think about donna missing someone who isn't there and how sometimes with tentoo she feels a little better but it isn't exactly right #and how as time goes on. that feeling goes away more and more. her grief over losing the doctor *increases* as tentoo grows into a differen #person. she is still. fundamentally. the doctor. but she is also johanna tyler. and donna loves her. and still misses the doctor. #and i think. a lot. about that empty space that even leaves behind. about how they aren't there for donna's wedding. #about how they aren't there when rose noble is growing up. about how they disappear one day and no one ever tells rose or donna #or johanna or *any of them* what happened. i think about how they put up missing posters. i think about how rose holds her breath #for a whole year because hell the doctor got it wrong once with her. maybe they're just late. maybe they'll be back in time for christmas. #but even doesn't come back. they keep a picture of even on the mantel. and they do set an extra plate at christmas. just in case. #a lot of times it stays empty but they sometimes have other impromptu guests. martha and mickey and jack. jack comes by a lot. #couldn't keep him away if they tried really. sarah jane comes sometimes too. (sky babysitting rose noble. ough.) #something about. the doctor does have a family out there. if he'd only come home to them. #so does even. they're both going to have to go back sometime. face the music. sit down for dinner. #there's still time. there's still time. #dw oc

listen beta bro being built as small and delicately as dirk is IMPORTANT TO ME and ill get go of this headcanon when i am cold and dead in the ground

#my t #its the way that the guardians are set up to look #tall mysterious indominable parental figures for better or worse #cause ur looking at them through their 13y/o kids eyes #so like #small kid to 13y/o dave building his bro up as this #big scary figure who cant be fucked w/ cause hes THAT strong + fast #verses #finally meeting alpha dirk and dave is like. a head taller than him and broader in the shoulder #dirk only gains a singular extra inch before he stops growing #thus demystifying daves memory of his bro a little #he wouldve been bigger than his bro. he IS bigger than his bro #(he gets his height from rox whos also tall and gangly) #small trans man dirk >>>>>>>>>>>>> #i see jane as the shortest alpha kid but dirks def the smallest overall #EVERYONE can pick that boy up n swing him around

diagnose me how you see fit but I just want to have a blueprint/floorplan laid out for the archives if not the most of the institute before I start actually drawing tma stuff with backgrounds

#literally going back through the series and documenting how things would feasibly be laid out with the audio and descriptions we're given #like the storage room is probably towards the end of a hallway because sasha had sprinted to tackle tim #but tim ended up going where the shelf collapsed and sasha ran upstairs etc etc #figuring out logistics that dont really matter except to me because i said so #also keeping track of character appearance continuity via not giving tim and jon all their scars while og sasha is still kickin #and just character descriptions in general cuz the wiki defo doesnt note them all #agnes as a child is described as having mousy brown pigtails but then as an adult/avatar shes got Auburn hair #shit be changing and i will be referencing that #also having a consistent layout for the building will make my brain happy in case i wanna recycle any backgrounds or whatever #something something brainrot #tma/ #also im gonna have two elias designs #one's a genuine rat bastard and one's for fun stuff #i can do that because i said so #*also i thought about it in the shower tim probably would have been tackled in the archives proper #because they could see jane messing around with boxes of statements and there was later mention of a shelf being toppled i believe

Kinda sad that the blowback against netflix persuasion has emboldened asshat youtube comments for the Interview with a Vampire trailer....

#racists mad that they made louis black can go fuck themselves #anne rice isn't jane austen ffs.... #and actually doing the world building to change the race of the character is a bit different than just waving a wand #and plunking a bunch of POC in the regency with no context #if you are glad anne rice is dead so she doesn't see it then that's one thing we have in common

i am giving all the spiders on my balcony names

#i WAS just calling them delores #but they're hardworking girls. they deserve names #i gor pissed that one was building a web on my hammock and tried to brush her off with the broom and immediately felt. SO bad #she was huddled up in the folds of the hammock and i immediately felt guilty 😭 #she was just trying to survive!! i destroyed her home for my own convenience!! #i took a chair to the other side of the balcony and let her be. i can survive without the hammock. for a while. #i actually evicted ALL the ladies from the living area. so now they're just on my railing. which seems fair. #IM SORRY PETUNIA I DIDN'T MEAN IT #i'm also drunk if u can't tell lol #and i'm only naming the ones bigger than a quarter #so. petunia. jiggy. harriet. and elegance #if i see more i will name them. because i love them. #oh i just saw two more! i will name them mewsa. and jane. #i also can't tell them apart so it's purely by location lol

Lavos is indeed fun but it’s gonna be a While until he doesn’t take up my entire brain when I’m playing him. Also reversing tap/hold doesn’t really work after all bc hold to cast all abilities is just really unintuitive and kills my reaction time

More surprisingly (to me) Octavia Prime also fun as hell. I didn’t get it until I got all my abilities unlocked and sib told me what order to pop them in for best results, and then there i was, invisible amidst chaos and laughing my evil gremlin laugh bc holy shit this is it. I get it now. She’s great

#mandachord ended up with diary of jane by breaking benjamin and ofc its unrecognisable but its nonetheless a p good tune so im happy #god starting with my lil rank 0 lavos no potato nothing bc i wanted to see if i enjoy him at all first #it was a lil wild after ive gotten so used to watching sib play him with a proper build #what do you MEAN my range is tiny #(its no longer tiny but dont ask me how it is now i dont remember what i put on him in the end) #kata's chatter #space ninja fashion show #at some point i was in hydron with gauss/gyre/mirage and couldnt see a single fuckin thing it was great #i think i was using lavos in that one so i wasnt helping the situation either

Grabs you by the shoulders HUMMINGBIRD SALAMANDER BY JEFF VANDERMEER AND Y/N BY ESTHER YI ARE REALLY JUST THE SAME TYPE OF STORY IN DIFFERENT FONTS. THE RECKLESS AND RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF AN IDEAL, OF AN IDEA, OF A FRAGMENT OR A FIGMENT OF A PERSON WHO YOU SO EARNESTLY BELIEVE YOU KNOW. EVEN AS IT DESTROYS YOU. EVEN AS IT TEARS YOUR LIFE APART. AN ALMOST RELIGIOUS ZEAL FOR AN IDOL. THE SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF THAT IDOL LEAVING MANY BROKEN OR OTHERWISE CHANGED IRREVERSIBLY. AN IMAGINATION OF AN IDYLLIC REALITY. UNRELIABILITY OF THOUGHT, OF MEMORY. A WOMAN REALIZING SHE NEVER LOVED THOSE WHO WERE CLOSE TO HER AS SOON AS SHE STARTS TO LOVE A CONCEPT. LOVING THE IDEA OF LOVING AN IDEA. DO YOU UNDERSTAND

#.txt #hummingbird salamander #guess i should come up with a tag for the esther yi book that doesn’t get mistaken for fanfiction writing #uhhhhhhh #maybe wse (why slash enn) #wse #anyways. drop suggestions for similar books if you have any #there’s something so mesmerizing about seeing a woman (or other protagonist) destroy themselves in pursuit of an idea that might not exist #wse to me is like a trainwreck in slow motion #it’s not horror (far from horror) but you feel dread building in you the whole time #you’re gripped in fear over Something happening #and then it never happens #our unnamed protagonist finds her idol and realizes he doesn’t compare to who she thought he was #it’s like watching a 20-car pileup play out in painstakingly slow motion and then suddenly resolve itself to a scratch #anticlimactic but weirdly cathartic nonetheless #‘jane’ acts similarly except she experiences real and active danger from people just like her #and she never meets silvina #only finds her body #i suppose moon might as well have been a body to the unnamed narrator #in fact he might have been more useful to her dead than alive #when he disappeared he might as well have died #just. god #those books did something to me #i need more books that will do something to me

This is a developing news story and may be updated as more information is obtained. If you value such information, please support this Substack.

On Dec. 1, a woman immolated herself with a Palestinian flag outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.

Now, according to the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, the woman — referred to in their report as “Jane Doe” — is alive and “in stable condition” at Grady Memorial Hospital, where she has been since the immolation.

After repeated requests for her name, the department stated to this reporter in an email that it “does not disclose the identities of victims”. Repeated inquiries to Grady, which is a public hospital, went unanswered. The hospital houses the Walter L. Ingram Burn Center.

“Jane Doe” is 27.

When asked if they had made any comment to tell the public that she was still alive this entire time, the official at Atlanta Fire Rescue Department said they “shared the last updated with local media via email on 12/21/23. The release stated: ‘The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition. The security guard, who attempted to assist the burn victim, has been released from the hospital.’” Several internet searches on that quote produce no results. This would also indicate that "Jane Doe" went from critical to stable condition without public notice. 

Aaron Bushnell immolated himself at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, explaining “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and shouting “Free Palestine!” repeatedly as he burned alive. So, his case — unlike many other self-immolations including Gregory Levey, Raymond Moules, Timothy T. Brown, Malachi Ritscher and others — has received some attention. Thus, “Jane Doe” being ignored fits with the usual pattern. Bushnell is the exception — probably because he livestreamed it. See “Ignoring Immolators Lulls the Society to Sleep.”

As Bushnell was burning himself alive, an officer pointed a gun at him, barking orders as if he constituted a threat. A security guard, Michael Harris, sustained injuries working to rescue “Jane Doe” — but there were similarities, where she was actually viewed as a potential threat.

At one point, the police report for “Jane Doe” refers to it as being a case of “arson”.

Much of the media coverage and general discussion of her self-immolation in December focused on if she had done damage. The Atlanta Police Chief said: “We believe this building remains safe, and we do not see any threat here.” The Israeli government released a statement: “It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way.”

Police records indicate that they obtained a search warrant and entered an apartment they believed to be associated with “Jane Doe” — initially using a drone:

The drone was able to relay information as to the layout and the belongings inside. After it was deemed "safe" entry was made with bomb technicians. While clearing the apartment no improvised explosive devices were located.

The police report also noted:

During the search a Quran was found in the bedroom along with a [sic] Arabic dictionary and a Hebrew dictionary. The bedroom bookshelf contained books related to fiction and fantasy. A "Drug use for grown ups" book was on the bookshelf as well. Two journals were seized from the bedroom. A thumbdrive was seized from the bedroom as well. A laptop computer was seized from the kitchen counter. A copy of the search warrant was left in the living room of the apartment. The front door [of] the apartment was secured before law enforcement left the premises.

When pressed for more information in compliance with an Open Records Request under Georgia law, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department claimed: “There is an ongoing and active investigation for the incident in question, which is why the only releasable information has been shared via the incident report. Investigative documentation is not available for release until the investigation is closed.”
