I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken

Okay I know i keep linking characters to (muse) songs but hear me out- Unintended is amongst my absolute favorite songs. Ever. I hold it so dearly. You can only guess my surprise when I realized it actually works with Gansey, and believe me when I say it works well.

You could be the one who listens To my deepest inquisitions You could be the one I'll always love (with Blue, sleepless hours on the phone)

First there was the one who challenged All my dreams and all my balance (with Ronan, speaks for itself)

I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken Pieces of the life I had before (with Adam, Adam POV regarding not living at Monmouth) (works with Noah as well)

You could be my unintended Choice to live my life extended (and of course with Noah. Gansey's life extension, the life before Gansey's, the life Noah had before, busy trying to keep existing, etc.)

Plus I like the unintended choice word contradiction. I think it works well. If you don't know the song (Unintended by Muse, Showbiz album, 1998, absolute banger), I highly suggest you give it a try.

Thank you for following my Muse ramble.

Belphie blinks at you in greeting as you slide under the covers with him, only humming gently when you hold onto him for dear life. Dark indigo eyes noticing with interest that you haven't even started getting ready for RAD yet---not that he was one to talk---the Avatar of Sloth merely gives you a lazy smirk and wraps his tail around you under the covers as you whisper a strangled out, 'hide me'.

He nods slowly, his throat feeling much too heavy, and he himself feeling much too lazy to use his words. A pale hand pulls the covers over your head, just in time too, as Lucifer bursts into the room, ruby red eyes shining like a wolf on the hunt.

"Have you seen MC?" The eldest asks, paying no mind to the usual sound of morning chaos coming from the rest of the house.

Belphie lets out a strangled, lazy, "Nope." all the while his tail tightens around you.

Lucifer shakes his head. Looking at the you shaped lump under the covers. Merely pinching the bridge of his hooked nose and sighing, "MC. If you wanted a break from RAD, you could've just asked instead of opting to hide."

You pop out from under the covers, eyes wide like a deer in headlights, Belphegor's arms wrap around you from under the covers, his eyes sleepily tracing the features of your face as you speak.

"Right.....yeah. Sorry Luci?" You tilt your head, the Avatar of Pride's eyes soften a fraction.

"Be sure to catch up on your schoolwork, we only have room for one academic failure in this house and I'm afraid that spot has permanently been reserved for Mammon." Lucifer says sternly, though you can see the faintest upward quirk of his lips.

"Aye aye Captain." You nod, sleepily saluting the eldest.

"Belphegor."

Belphie turns to look at his eldest brother.

"Just because MC has a day off school, it doesn't mean you have one. Your uniform's hanging up by your desk." The ebony-haired demon walks out of the room.

"...Diavolo fucking dammit."

Thinking about this today and how Mary Crawford's money-loving, second-son-hating ideas were formed:

Because Admiral Crawford shares a last name, he must be Henry and Mary's paternal uncle, and therefore a second or third son to the previous owner of the Everingham estate (the term "cousin" is pretty loosely used in Austen's works (Mr. Collins is a second cousin at least), but I think "uncle" only is used in the modern sense, so he's their father's brother). That means Admiral Crawford was a dreaded Second Son, who sought his own fortune in the navy.

We can assume from Mary's phrase "A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of." and from the fact that Mary's aunt advised against marrying a man in the navy for an already rich man (I have not so much to say for my friend Flora, who jilted a very nice young man in the Blues for the sake of that horrid Lord Stornaway) that when Aunt Crawford and Admiral Crawford married, he was still relatively poor for the gentry. The marriage must have broken down early, when they were still struggling to establish an income. Working in the navy means long voyages, long periods apart, and high availability of the opportunity to cheat. It also means a wife who could be on shore, alone, for a very long time. Not every wife is as lucky as Sophia Croft, who almost always went with her husband.

From this, I feel like Aunt Crawford married a penniless naval officer for love. During or because of the struggle for a better income, their marriage broke down. Therefore, Aunt Crawford has advised her protege to marry rich, not a second son, and not for love. Put your trust in money instead.

Not a good lesson from Aunt Crawford, but perhaps a reasonable one considering how it turned out for her. It's likely Admiral Crawford openly had a mistress while his wife was alive and then instantly moved her in when his wife died, an insult while living and dead.

Last digital drawings I was able to do before one of my drawing tablet's cords died (and took one of the tablet's display ports with it). Hopefully I can get the money to buy another cord soon. In the meantime I'll try to get back in the swing of traditional sketches.
