It's Duroc's birthday! Here's a translation of a letter of his that I've always liked, as quoted in Jean de la Tour's 1913 biography (and, I believe, somewhere in Laure Junot's memoirs, but I can't remember which volume). He's writing from Warsaw in late December 1806 or early January 1807, to Jean-Andoche Junot, who had been left behind in France due to his post as governor of Paris and was deeply unhappy about it, to the point that Laure called that period his "widowhood".

His Majesty the Emperor arrived at Posen on November 27, in perfect health. We stayed there twenty-seven days. It's a sorry city, despite its fine resistance to the Hero of the North [Charles XII]. As for us, apparently either we're more formidable or the inhabitants have changed their character, for instead of defending themselves, they flocked to the Emperor, their magistrates at the head, and received him with an enthusiasm difficult to understand, at least until you recollect that they're not Prussians.  His Majesty published a proclamation on December 2nd, to remind the soldiers that it was the anniversary of the coronation, and above all of Austerlitz. I've never seen the troops so moved. If the Emperor wanted to lead them to China, I guarantee that he could. It's a delirium, and when the proclamation of the same day announced that the Russians had arrived on the banks of the Vistula, a cry arose from all sides: We'll fight them again! We're here [in Warsaw], in winter quarters, and we're well. For a while I've known that Polish women are the most pleasant in Europe; but it was necessary to go to Poland to understand the charm that surrounds them. Warsaw is very agreeable. The society is charming. The Polish men love us even more, I think, than the Polish women. The country wants to take a leader from us: a king. Murat pleases them very much, with his plumes and his sparkling uniforms, but above all with his courage, because you know it's of genuine worth. We receive deputations every day. I've never seen the Emperor in a better mood. He had, however, a fit of temper over the incident of Marshal Lannes and Bennigsen [the battle of Pułtusk]. The Emperor scolded him sharply: Lannes responded that everything was won when the enemy left the battlefield, but it's true that we lost a lot of people. Lannes also complained of a division of Davout's which should have helped him and which didn't back him up well. I don't know, in truth, what happened. Lannes is our friend and he never lies. That's all I can say about it. No doubt you've heard about poor Rapp's wound? He's an unlucky man. He only has to enter the fighting and he's hit. Vandamme conducted himself very well during the campaign. This doesn't surprise me, because he's brave, but he showed real talent during this military tour of Silesia. The Emperor is very content with him. I promised, my dear Junot, to tell you what has been happening to me and you see that I've kept my word. In truth, I can't write to you as often as I'd like; my work, as you know, is very busy and still increasing: but it never prevents me from keeping the fondest and most constant friendship for you. Goodbye, my dear Junot, tell me in return of your carnival and your entertainments. I've heard that you're amusing yourselves greatly. Tell me all about it.  My regards to Madame Junot.

I have just hit the 70% mark in Asunder and it's starting to get really stressful, not because of anything happening on the page but because I can't shake the feeling that Kerstin Hall is winding up to clobber me with an emotional sledgehammer just beyond my field of vision

i am delighted to report that Shin-chan Movie 15, in which a bomb gets attached to the family dog’s ass and can only be detonated by singing, is maybe the most emotional Shin-chan movie out of the 14 or so i’ve seen. from small children dancing in Broadway style kick lines to Shin’s parents thinking he died in a brutal, fiery explosion and the moment played with utter heart wrenching sincerity, i officially decree this a Good Movie

I don't get why people hate the timeline so much, its not like you can't pretty much completely ignore it when you play the games. The only time it even approaches mattering to the story is when there is an explicit sequel like botw and totk or zelda and zelda 2

Hey sorry your ask got lost in the sauce of my broken tumblr, but: yeah!

I mean, I get why in some sense. It's been a heated point of debate and I think some people understandably resent the space it has taken not only in fandom discourse, but in how people began to understand the game and its narrative aesthetic choices. There is such a thing as over-rationalizing everything to hard logic, and sometimes it's just not the fandom for that --especially when you begin to forget it's all just fan theory and start to forget what the games are supposed to be like and evoke beyond just strict facts displayed in a linear way.

What I think bugs me with TotK in particular is that it both evokes and relies on continuity and the idea of a timeline, of archeology, of history itself, while being so loose and vacant with it that it both is doing Timeline Shit while also completely failing to understand why some parts of the fandom were invested in Timeline Shit to begin with.

But that's just my two cents of course!

This is a projection of limited personal experience but there’s a type of poly person who realistically shouldn’t be in more than one relationship due to time, emotional availability, mental health, etc and just decides to try for like five relationships in a doomed quantity-over-quality approach and i think a large concentration of these ppl in one area is partly why Portland and an increasingly large surrounding exclusion zone is That Way

there should be a tag game where you take your top 3 favorite characters and make a venn diagram of their shared traits.

I'm just going off of your posts, but is Sonine your favourite version of Sontails?

Hmmm

If I had to pick a favorite version, I guess I would say them. Their dynamic was the first Sontails related ship I admitted to myself I liked, and the first I found myself obsessed over (and dedicating so many waking hours to)

To be honest, although Sonine counts as a ship under the umbrella of Sontails, it's special enough to me and special enough a case personally that I kind of give it a degree of separation from Sontails. It's why you may see me say that my Sonic the Hedgehog (franchise) otp is Sonine and Sontails

For pretty much 99% of the Sontails dynamics and depictions across the sonic media, I lump them under the umbrella of "Sontails" as one of my otps. This one is a specific depiction of the two in the games and adjacent to that. Even though interpretations of their setting, personalities, etc vary, there are many threads between the pairing you can gather between the games, archie sonic, idw sonic, the ova, the sonic movies, etc. And while I can easily lump my ships between Sonic and the Prime Tails variants under that umbrella in my mind, my obsession with Sontails as an otp largely extends to this best friend relationship between them as it persists across the Sonic media.

Sonine on the other hand, while the two did consider each other best friends, has a different start to their relationship, a bit of a different dynamic, and a different appeal to me.

While with Sontails I'm sticking my grabby hands into sonic comics and tv shows and games and movies for many crumbs of this unbreakable bond, with Sonine I am looking into their specific relationship and dynamic (and the ways in which they compare, contrast, and relate to Sontails)

So to conclude, my answer is both yes and no. Yes, if I had to say so, Sonine is technically my favorite version of Sontails. But under the Sontails shipping umbrella (of ships I actually tag as sontails in my posts/reblogs), it's much harder to pick a favorite, since there are many good moments across the media

Thanks for the ask!!😊���

life is cruel.

it's tragic, horrific, and unfair. it gives us the worst of things, causes us to feel and experience things that are so unspeakably painful that sometimes I can't even. I can't even.

and it seems even more cruel in those moments of pain and grief and loss when you see something beautiful, like fall colors, or the color of the sky at sunset, or how the holidays typically are meant to bring joy to people but all you can think about now is that every year when this time of year comes, you'll just think about how tragic it is.

and cruel.

and horrific.

and unfair.

and beautiful.
