How does dm!TPB go down?

With all due respect, I'm not condensing and writing down six books worth of plot down during exam week, especially when it's not all finalized.

If you have something a bit more specific to ask, I'll be happy to answer

Until then, have old old Dark Mirror art ft. Flamesong and his apprentice, Bramblepaw:

#dark mirror au #warrior cats au #warrrior cats #dm!brambleclaw #myart #dm ask #I'm not trying to be rude #but writing takes way more out of me than art #I can doodle really quickly #but that writing would take an ungodly amount of time #my shit is not organized

For the character ask game: Cosette, 2 + 25 👀

Thanks for the ask, even though I'm answering it late! (For this ask meme) #2. Favorite canon thing about this character? My favorite canon thing about Cosette is the way she parallels Jean Valjean-- not just in their traumatic backstories, but also in the way they both often "perform" politeness and kindness. Cosette needs to perform happiness for Jean Valjean in order to convince him to take care of himself, and it's...deeply sad! She has to 'trick' him into not doing self-destructive things by framing it in cheerful lighthearted ways, papering over difficult problems with polite nothings, pretending not to be that frightened or upset, and it's...very sad. And it feels like something that he taught her. The moments when she attempts to stop all the cheerfulness and talk to her father directly always tend to end with Jean Valjean breaking down-- like the moment when she asks "are you angry with me because I am happy?" or her attempts to ask directly about her mother, which both end with Jean Valjean shedding tears and avoiding her questions. There's something very realistic about that failure to communicate. I don't know whether Hugo fully considered this a negative thing-- but I do think he understands the way that children often put on a great performance of happiness in order to help their parents. Cosette is in many ways just Victor Hugo projecting his trauma over the death of his own young daughter onto Jean Valjean and Cosette's relationship, and like. As much as Cosette's writing is often deeply imperfect/ sexist, and as much as I think she should've been given more interiority and agency in the end of the story--- I think you can tell that Hugo did sincerely love his daughter? Cosette doesn't feel like a one-note cloying ingenue to me, but a fictionalized version of a real daughter Victor Hugo sincerely loved. I also think that Child-Cosette in particular is written very well! Lots of authors struggle to write children, but Hugo really captures a lot of the way children think and speak-- young Cosette isn't a cloying innocent ingenue, she's a starving frightened angry child, and it makes her teenage self far more interesting as a contrast. As a random addition: Hugo doesn't go into this, but it's fascinating how Cosette is extremely good at lying. She and Jean Valjean kind of share that talent. Very few people manage to trick Jean Valjean-- Marius fails utterly at pretending he's not in love with Cosette, and falls into all of his traps-- but Cosette manages to hide a secret love affair from him for a very long time. It's interesting how the two of them are very good at lying and concealing things from each other, and I don't fully know what to make of it.

Also my hot take is that anyone who thinks Cosette is a bland one-note ingenue should read Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, and contrast her with Lucie Manette. XD I used to be obsessed with A Tale of Two Cities, but it's basically just "what if Les Mis was bad and all the criticisms about it were actually true?" That novel also features a young ingenue who takes care of her traumatized ex-prisoner father-- but unlike Cosette, Lucie has no interiority or depth, and doesn't feel like anything resembling a real human young girl. All of the interesting things about Cosette- like her naivete/coming of age story, or the way her excessive bubbliness is often an act she puts on for her father's happiness, or her silly funny dialogue, or her own hard past that parallels her father's-- just aren't there. Again, there are lots of places where I think Hugo's writing of Cosette fails; but there's also a lot of interesting details that are easy for people to explore and dig deeper into in fanworks.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

My first impression of this character was that she was Fine, but not very interesting? But the more I got invested in the novel and the fandom, the more I appreciated her as a character! Hugo's writing of her is deeply flawed, and she isn't given enough attention in the ending of the book specifically, but there's enough really compelling stuff there to be a great jumping off point for fanworks. I think I already answered how I see her now in the previous question, but I want to add that I also like that she's nicknamed Madame LaNoir, or the Lady in Black. Goth Cosette is canon! That's very fun to me.

#les mis #it takes me a while to gather thoughts #but yay thanks!! #see like #you cant write a fanfic about lucie manette from a tale of two cities #because theres just like Nothing #theres nothing to build off #shes not even a character #while Cosettes writing is flawed theres still Stuff There #I say this as someone who read A Tale of two cities an ungodly amount of times during my Dickens phase

realizing I could finish all the work they have me for today and tomorrow in two hours. Learning the key merits of a desk job. Just take a fuck ton of time on everything

#I could finish it fast. But then they'll cut me loose early and I get less pay. This is all I'm required to do #So I will take an ungodly amount of time on it. Hm. #I'm so used to working at restaurants

congratulations to the winners of the first tournament!

our main bracket winners are:

Sasuke and Naruto in first (predictably)

Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in second

in honorary third place, the winners of the loser's bracket free for all:

Tao Ren and Horohoro (rip Len'en guys and also Sonic)

uh idk how active this blog will be besides answering asks and reblogging polls with my blorbos in them (definitely no season 2 or other brackets from me for a few weeks)

all the tournaments I've been actively following have also either wrapped up or my blorbos lost so really it'll mostly be blorbos in law and whatever shows up in tags I follow

my main blog is @jumpscaregoose if you want to follow me on there (if you survived my bullshit here you'll be fine over there)

you might be getting another bonus bracket if I feel like it

#results #if you're curious what my Schemes were #june 4th was the first day of a hororen week fandom event #so by starting the finals and loser's bracket polls that day I was taking advantage of the Increased Traffic to the hororen tag #“Increased Traffic” I was banking on my one mutual reblogging it and she did a few days ago hi ana #tbh the schemes were probably unnecessary due to my rampant infodumping creating an ungodly amount of bias #whoops #for now I am going to bed because past me posted the polls at actual midnight my time and that's when they wrapped up also #yay large number of votes meaning I can do this in advance

This chapter should be up later tonight!

attending physicians are almost always part of a practice that contracts out with hospitals, so they aren't technically employees of the hospital, so they can't unionize and thy can't strike. but at the hospital that my dad used to work at (terrible work environment, horrible pay) 10 out of 12 attendings in the department quit in tandem. and they offered to do locum tenens work for twice their pay.

THAT IS STRIKING! THEY ARE FINDING A WAY TO STRIKE FOR BETTER TREATMENT! PHYSICIAN UNIONS AREN'T JUST A RESIDENT PHENOMENA!!!

#union stuff under cut #i get so excited every time i think about the sudden wave of labor activism in medicine <3 #it takes aun UNGODLY amount of time energy and negotiation to hire even one attending. like 6+ months #so they have the hospital over a BARREL

I love college cause you just go there and they tell you stuff. Four years in and I'm still not over this

#pickle pontificates #obviously it costs an ungodly amount of money and you also have to think of ideas and write papers and stuff #but a professor just emailed a class I'm in like ''hey another professor is telling her class some stuff y'all might wanna know today'' #''you guys can go if you wanna hear it'' #and y'know. that happens every so often #and it's always like heck yeah. someone's gonna tell me more stuff at no extra charge? yes please. sign me up #i also got to take a whole sams club cheese tray home in my backpack last time this happened #which doubled as a hilarious prank on my family #as well as a convenient tray of cheese

I'm trying to runescape a bit less and draw a bit more cuz ~32% of all my time, including sleeping and days I didn't play at all, has been at least partially fed to that game since I made that account. Even though I know that it's because I play at work and afk at home it's still a disgusting amount of time to put into one something, even though I do rather love it I'm kinda coming around to the idea that maybe I love runescape a bit too much 😅

#almost 7400 hours these days #it's rough though cuz like #i still have tons of goals that'll take anywhere from dozens to thousands of hours #but like #when you come home to no one to your messy ass tiny room u rent in the run down house it's in and all you really have to show #for the last 3 years of your life is a maxed iron with an ungodly amount of time on it #it's kinda depressing! #i doubt I'll stop playing straight up but i seriously need a step back

[mariathechosen1]

I love you drinking water I love you cold showers I love you sleep I love you fun dance exercises I love you taking time to make meals I love you skincare I love you morning stretches I love you talking to friends I love you endorphins

#maria talks about things #romanticizing your life is good sometimes actually #mental health #sorry for this sorta random rant #I especially love making little meals #like- taking time out of your day to prep a little snack even if it’s something ‘easy’ is so great #I just spend way too much time than necessary looking through all our spices when making scrambled eggs #it’s a lot of fun #(I also end up putting an ungodly amount of garlic powder in them) #This is honestly more manifestation than anything #like- have I had a shitty few months? yeah. Would they be shitter without my little day to day self care things? also yes

Made some coffee because I need the boost

Going to go shave off my beard next because I like the occasional clear cut before growing it back and also no one ever sees me so it won’t matter how baby faced I am for the next week.

Going to stupidly retry buspirone later tonight. If you’ve followed my ���lore” (and I’m sorry if you have), the last time I tried it over a few days, it only gave me extra anxiety and made me feel hot and incredibly uncomfortable. Maybe that was a fluke. Maybe it was interacting with the antidepressants I had just upped my dose of. Regardless, we’ll give it another shot and if it goes bad again, I’ll just take a couple benadryls, conk out, and not worry about them again.

Okay, I love you.

#my anxiety has just been nasty lately #I’m working on the logical mental part of that but a good chunk of my anxiety & depression is due to unchangable health problems #so for those worries I can’t reason away I’m relying on medication #and I think I’m ‘brave’ (or foolish) enough to give buspar another shot #i don’t want to take a benzo or anything tonight #I took 2 klonopins last night and that seemed pretty nice but I don’t want to make that a habit #especially since doctors don’t want to prescribe them unless really really necessary #so for tonight I’ve got my second cup of coffee and I’m working on distracting myself #gonna shave off this gross beard and if I could I’d cut off my long hair #my hair is too long! #I know that’s blasphemous to say but dang it’s getting to be a bit much #also my therapist said I need to apply for jobs before our next meeting #I don’t want to (fingers crossed) get a job interview just to roll in with this gross hair #NOT THAT HAIR IS GROSS!
