not to stir the pot but i honestly don't think marrying solely for economic reasons is a great idea. like not to endorse the troubadours but they kind of ate with the concept of romantic love

#supporting this is actually disgusting #thomas' tristan is a DNF for me #of course you would replace iseult with another iseult just so they can get married #as though courtly love is not the only reason anyone reads this #honestly wtf #guess im a lancevere again #at least there's no weird second guinevere subplot

although enjolras did die at an age where you could say “he should’ve been at the club”, i firmly believe he should not have been at the club. for many reasons but one being that he would’ve been saying things like “perchance” and “thrice” at the club.

Sometimes the best fic you’ve ever written isn’t on ao3. It’s in 50 frenetic discord messages sent over a fifteen minute span where you and your friend yes and each other into a perfect story that will never actually be written.

A good fictional character needs to go through all of these sequentially in their narrative arc

Curses & Exclamations in Les Trois Mousquetaires

In the interest of accurate fanfiction writing, I wanted to get a feeling for appropriate language, so I sat down with Alexandre Dumas’ writing and did a bit of analysis.

A word about the “dieus” and “bleus” — “Dieu” is French for “God” and frequently used in a wide variety of curses and exclamations. To avoid blasphemy, the rhyming “bleu” (blue) is often substituted, with the term still carrying the same meaning (pardieu = parbleu), but not causing any religious offense. English translations are approximate.

All of these are only used once or twice, but might be good to add colour and variety. While every character frequently uses “Mon Dieu!”, they have distinct preferences regarding the other terms.

Before criticising Athos and d’Artagnan, keep in mind how much they speak in comparison to the other three presented here.

Finally, a list of exclamations and interjections that might come in handy from time to time.

A disclaimer to close with: Although I have a pretty solid knowledge of swear words in both languages, I’m not a native speaker of either, so any mistakes shall be blamed on my failure to study back in school.

Apparently, there was no way I could not reblog this :)

the thing about trying to write enjolras as a human person is that you have to delicately surgically remove the deification from his body and it WILL kill him. of course, he dies anyw

I finished the last constellation tonight. All 40 of them are now done! Went through and double checked and every stitch is in place for them and all the beads are in place. Which just leaves the milky way part to do.

Started stitching the Milky Way in. Slowly making progress on it as I am hiding the travelling thread so the back will look nice.

Looks pretty cool and keeps the readability of the other stitches. Very happy with it. Just a thousand or so to do. As they are in a grid roughly every centimetre apart.

Update on the constellation quilt. I have gotten the last Milky Way stitch done now. Which means the quilting part of this project is done. My next step will be to baste the edges down, remove the pattern, trim the quilt square, and lastly attach the binding.

Progress on the constellation quilt has come along quite a lot now. Finished the binding on the quilt over the weekend. I prefer to machine stitch the binding to the front then hand stitch the back side. It gives such a nice finish to the quilt. Took the time to measure it also and it ended up being 72" by 72" (183cm by 183cm).

With that done I could finally start removing the pattern. Which is taking both less time and more time that I thought it would. As it rips really easily so that goes fast, but the tiny corners and removing it under the beads is slow. You can now see the difference in the glow effect with it against the dark front of the quilt instead of the pattern.

Behold the stars of the constellations of the northern sky! I love how this quilt has turned out. It was a lot of fun to work on and the effect is so cool in person. Overall I would estimate it took about 90-100 hours to complete. Give or take 10 hours if you want to count the time I spent custom dying the fabric.

I made sure to get a nice photo of it in daylight. For once I also remembered to get a quilt label on it. The back really shows the difference in readability of the quilting on the ice dyed fabric compared to the solid front. Thank you everyone that has followed this. I am glad you all found joy in it.

Those that are interested, here is the pattern I used by Haptic Lab. I made the large northern hemisphere version, and plan to make the matching southern hemisphere one next year. I also got your back for the less crafty people. Haptic Lab sells finished quilts in this pattern, both as a large quilt and a small one.

Want to write a fic where Grantaire instead wakes up just after the firing squad leaves to find Enjolras nearly dead and takes him back to his dirty apartment and nurses him in his own bed for days until he dies of sepsis. but before he does he tells Grantaire he wishes he'd left him to die like a martyr, or better yet that Grantaire had stepped up and died with him. and Grantaire says he would've if he'd gotten there sooner. and Enjolras doesn't believe him
