I just stumbled across another Darcy Has Amnesia and Has Been Living as a Lower Class X and I need to say this:

DARCY WOULD BE IDENTIFED AS RICH BEFORE HE WOKE UP!

First, clothes. In Jane Eyre, despite her tramping through a bog, they knew her clothes are upper/middle class before she woke up. If Darcy is wearing anything he's gentry or merchant class on sight.

So lets say he's naked. People today kind of just look like people, but in the past, no. Lower class men in this era especially would wear their profession on their skin. Fishermen and farm workers would be tanned like crazy, carpenters would have lost bits of finger, blacksmiths burn marks and developed muscles. Do you know that winemaking can stain your hands purple for weeks? Aside from profession, Darcy would look soft to lower class people, but at the same time well fed. The lower classes were struggling with food insecurity during this era or for all time...

And then he wakes up, now I am not sure if they trained provincial accents out of kids in this era, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD DARCY TALK? Jane Austen doesn't have many servants talk, but sound like Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy they do not! He has perfect grammar and a huge vocabulary! He will be known as a clergyman, lawyer, merchant, gentry or even an aristocrat the second he speaks.

So what then? These are poor people, they aren't dumb. They would advertise that they have found a rich injured person and hope for a reward. Darcy would be fairly well known by face and they have artists and newspapers and printing presses. He also would be known to be missing, he has a family, he writes his sister on a regular basis.

I give it a month tops before he's safely back home.

And that's not even getting into the fact that erasing a person's entire memory is basically neurologically impossible...

Surprise visit from old friends

Aurore - Valina should be home any second now. Is that her elevator? Shit do you think she will be too mad we are smoking in here?

Aymeric - She may be more mad her best friend and her brother broke into her apartment for a "surprise"

Aurore - Nonsense she will be thrilled to see me unlike you. I don't want any arguing this time ok? At least try to pretend you don't hate her. She's my best friend, I haven’t seen her in years and I want this trip to be somewhat pleasant so please be nice to her. Please? For me?

Aymeric - Fine

Valina - Aurore?? Aymeric?! What the-?

Valina - What are you doing here?!? How did you-?

Valina - Umm Hi!

Aurore - Umm hi? Give me a proper greeting you have been in the states too long

Aurore - Aymeric arn't you going to say hello to our oldest friend?

Valina - It's fine. He hates me anyway

Aymeric - *nods and smiles*

Aurore - Fuck sake, a proper greeting!

Valina - Fine...

Aymeric - Bonjour Valina...

Aurore - See? Is it so hard to be civil to one another?

Valina - I'll be civil if he will

Aurore - Good we are all friends here! Now give us a tour of your apartment. You really need better security on this place it was far too easy to break in…

... Promise

A very strong, reoccuring theme... something something makes me wonder....

Hmm...

Is it sad that I had to call my therapist to talk me through my breakup? Like not the aftermath. No she talked me through gaining the courage to actually do it. It feels kinda pathetic

It absolutely is not!! And I swear to you that I’m not just saying that to be all nice and fluffy, anon. I am genuinely looking at my phone right now in such like…sadness? I don’t even know the word, just know that my brow is furrowed and my mouth is doing a little frown and if you were right in front of me I would be saying, “That absolutely isn’t pathetic at all.”

But I’m right here. And I’m still saying that absolutely isn’t pathetic at all. Hell, a few years ago, I had to consult my therapist just to get the courage to block a bunch of toxic old friends from high school as soon as I graduated because I was genuinely so nervous to make such a final decision even if it was for my own good. When I first applied for college last year, I spent an appointment or two or three working over my academic anxieties and building up the courage to submit an application and set up a meeting with an academic counselor and sign up for classes and everything.

I promise you, that isn’t pathetic. Especially when we have to make hard decisions in our lives that we might be anxious or afraid of. I don’t think any less of you and I’m sure your therapist doesn’t either. Anyone who does think less of you for it can respectfully go suck on a toe (and not in a sexy way). We do what we need to in order to get through our shit, and I am so proud of you. Sometimes it takes a lot to bring things like that to professionals, so I am so proud of you for being brave enough to do so.

You are not pathetic, anon. You are brave and you are strong. I love you and I’m wishing you all of the best. Please, be gentler with yourself. You truly deserve it. 💞✨

when

when the book chapter you cited on the subject of non-linearity in nineties media for your review of a hinchcliffe era novel mentions "gothic undercurrents"

[daisymeade]

Bioware in 2000 said, "You can recruit Sarevok" and then in 2009, "You can recruit Loghain" and I think that's very sexy of them.

Same for Scooby-Doo zombie island that movie gave me zombie nightmares for days after I watched it and I still have never rewatched it even though I'm now an adult who watches must scarier stuff semi-regularly

You and me are the exact same. I love all the scooby doo movies but that movie scared the beejesus out of 8 year old me. I cried over it and my parents had to turn it off so I never watched the last 10 minutes and by god I never intend to.

[knickknacksandallthat]

want you to know that I think about your kevin/jean/jeremy every time i hear hozier's "no plan" !

Aww, anon, I love this!! So SWEET!! No joke, I adore song recos b/c I am no connoisseur of music. So every time someone's like "you should listen to this song" I'm like OKAY!!!

And god, of course, HOZIER:

Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world? Why would you offer a name to the same old tired pain?

I love the heavy beats of this song, and yet still how it seems so laid back and relaxed.

My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again

I love the implication of how they can relax finally. Like they can spend this time together, however they like, for however long they like.

But your secret is safe with me 'cause if secrets were like seeds Keep my body from the fire, hire a gardener for my grave Your secret is safe with me and if secrets were like seeds When I'm lying under marble, marvel at flowers you'll have made

The idea that I'll keep your secrets, no matter how deep. How the three of them are intertwined now from here until the grave. The symbolism of something beginning in something ending. Gorgeous.

How big the hourglass, how deep the sand I shouldn't hope to know, but here I stand

God, and this!! How all of this time and the ability to live is something they never thought they could have, and yet now they have all the time in the world. They have all the time in the world to sit and squish their toes in the sand and just be.

It's. just. *clenches fist*

Very good choice, anon.

Erra Bagu - The Bookish Bagwyrm of the Glitched Library

A character concept I made for a video. Thought the idea of a dungeon that generated funny and became a library was a cool idea. Might play with her colors a bit, though.

PSA.

So...just a heads up about this next fic: If you don't like sappy, romantic, Seal's "Kiss From A Rose" playing softly in the background type lovemaking then this isn't the fic for you. But honestly, if you've read my past fics, that should be expected from me. I mean, take "Feu Dans Ses Yeux" for example. <- Shameless plug. The fic revolves around what happens the night of 3/17, after Sami and Kevin reunite. Yes, I realize that happened two months ago, but I felt the need to write it, okay? Get off my back. Anyway, remember that one post I made? You know the one. That's going in there somewhere. Basically, Sami is touch starved and craves physical contact so when it finally does occur, he starts to sob with joy. Anyway, I don't want to go into too much detail and this is already long af. If you read this far, thanks!

WOW, okay the pr0n bots are getting more uppity holy shit. Dunno HOW that one found my url, but reported it AND the blog post it @'d me on. There was a fucking STRING of blogs mentuoning other blogs with the same exact line of text, and the blog it was on PLUS the blog that mentioned me had the same exact first/pinned post so...yea. WTF?

Despite the tragedy in his existence, Orion accepts his fate as a fading memory with open arms; it's a sad aspect of his purpose, but he wholeheartedly takes it. Nothing brings him more joy than to bring others joy,

If others being happy simply means they won't remember him / he fades from their memories, then so be it; he will hang onto all the memories, he will thrive, and he will not linger in the past. Only the future,
