jubaah responded to this:

it’s funny bc the stories in those books are so horrible, but… Idk, I genuinely like it hahaha I’m super curious about your notes, though :) Are you gonna write about it?

I replied:

Yeah, it’s a really entertaining read despite all the terrible things! A little rich for my blood now and then, but I like revenge tragedies as a rule, so plenty of it is my sort of thing. I think I’d enjoy it more if I wasn’t rushed and worried about forgetting things tbh.

It’s on my reading list as background for 16th century British lit (which also has some 16th-cent Continental things like Machiavelli and Erasmus), so I’m not sure if it’ll come up or not in writing. It might with Shakespeare et al since it was such an inspiration.

A relevant sample of notes, lol:



[Screenshot of Zotero notes reading:

Pelops

Everyone blames Niobe except her brother, Pelops, who weeps for her. Pelops reveals the ivory in his shoulder; he was cut to pieces by his father (for reasons?) and the gods put him back together but couldn't find that bit, so they used ivory instead.

Procne and Philomela

All the cities send rulers with condolences to Niobe's people, except Athens, which has problems of its own. It's besieged by barbarians, until the siege is lifted by Tereus of Thrace. The grateful king gives his daughter Procne to him in marriage, but the usual marriage deities don't attend—just the Furies. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.]

oh no, whatever will I do

I reblogged this graphic for Fíriel (f!Faramir), which I originally posted on 25 October 2015:

I made this five years ago and I still have a) a ton of feelings about this verse and b) yet to write most of it.

Of course Lucy Skywalker’s here haha

I replied:

Inevitably! adfkfjdjka and when I first heard about Lucas making Luke a girl, I was like “that would have been so cool, but there’s not really point to fic about her…”

Nine years later:

I’m trying out Campfire Pro (for a “it was half off and recommended by my favorite YouTuber so I bought it” value of trying), and with a little finagling, set up my template for the character section. It doesn’t seem to save the specific categories I put in my lists (I’ll have to type in General, Alignment, MBTI, Enneagram into the “Personality Traits” section every time, for instance), but it does save the organization and size of the boxes.

ETA: Actually, there’s a work-around; you can duplicate an individual character, so if you just set everything up on one “character,” you can right-click and duplicate it to keep all the information and set-up you have, and just fill in the details for a new character.

Looks cool so far!

Handwriting meme: Favorite quote from Kuvira

I replied:

I genuinely laughed out loud :)

Belated again, but here it is!

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents:

1. Something your favorite character would like
2. Something that makes you laugh
3. A fandom place you would like to visit
4. A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet
5. Something you find comforting
6. Something from a favorite TV series or movie from your childhood
7. A piece of clothing you love
8. A book or song with a color in the title
9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand

Ooh, challenging! Let's see:

1) Something that your favorite character would like:

My favorite character is Fitzwilliam Darcy! I've got stacks of books all around me for grad school reasons, which he'd definitely like. And a bunch are eighteenth-century texts, which would suit his relatively modern tastes(IMO). To go with a specific choice ... given his dry sense of humor and falling in love with Elizabeth, I think I'll pick this:



2) Something that makes you laugh

Nothing, really. I do get a smile at this dragon my mother got me, though:

I did another quest and got quite a bit more ambient dialogue from the party members! This is one of my favorite aspects of the game tbh, though it tragically wasn't Shadowheart and Lae'zel this time. But Gale decided his scholarly curiosity about approximately everything should encompass the githyanki.
