Been thinking a lot about how I love Seven x Thirteen yet they're basically a two-for-one combo of two tropes I hate ("incompetent man x competent woman" and "competent woman x even more competent man who upstages her")

And I think part of it is that it is both of those at the same time so it PEMDASes, but I think it's also that it's like

Thirteen: this man's very existence is challenging my worldview. He was a brutal killer but still he has friends who love him and he chooses simple joy. I must kill him or I'll fail my master and I have no one other than my master. But this guy keeps trying to help and protect me and keeps forgiving me. Not having the resolve to kill him is breaking apart my sense of self. I've only ever killed to survive but he makes me want to fight to protect. Could I be valued beyond my usefulness?

Seven: whoa pretty lady :D sick sword moves. Wanna go to the beach?

Now that we know that Mina loves history and local myths and legends and spooky stories, I remembered something from Jonathan's very first entry (May 3):

I shall enter here some of my notes, as they may refresh my memory when I talk over my travels with Mina...

He follows this by talking about what he's learned so far about the four main nationalities and geography of Transylvania, that he read that "every known superstition" is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians, and notes: (Mem., I must ask the Count all about them.)

Mina meanwhile writes in her first letter that her own journal will be

a sort of journal which I can write in whenever I feel inclined. I do not suppose there will be much of interest to other people; but it is not intended for them. I may show it to Jonathan some day if there is in it anything worth sharing, but it is really an exercise book. I shall try to do what I see lady journalists do: interviewing and writing descriptions and trying to remember conversations.

So they both start their respective journals for different reasons. Mina starts her journaling because she wants 1. to hone new skills 2. to practice her shorthand 3. to do so to become a good secretary for Jonathan. She claims it's To Be Of Service to her future husband and she's totally not enthusiastic to also indulge in it as a hobby. So the goal behind it is practicality and work and duty. Jonathan's journal though has nothing to do with work or with learning new skills. He began writing it because he wanted to use it to share his travel and everything he learned during it with Mina when he'd return home. Mina notes she might show it to Jonathan someday if there'll be anything noteworthy, but it's not her priority.

But both of them begin journaling with their minds focused on their partner: Mina wants her cultivated skills from this "exercise book" to become helpful to Jonathan, and Jonathan wants to share the experiences, recipes, facts, and supernatural tales he's gathered with Mina, who (as she's told Lucy) dreams of traveling someday.

Thinking about Snape and Sephy as I often am and

When she told him to stay away, he had to tell Voldemort. He had a good source of information, a potential new recruit, and now that was gone because of Snape, because of course he took the blame for it. He had to endure hours of torture as punishment, all the while struggling to keep his mind shielded. When it was over, he wanted nothing more than to retreat to a place of safety, but he didn’t have that anymore, because his safe place was her and he wouldn’t violate her demand to stay away.

So he took the punishment, took the torture, and went back to his cold, empty house, still twitching from the effects of the cruciatus curse.

But at least she was safe from him.

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!
