Just woke up and I'm thinking about this AU I've been tossing in my brain for over a year now thanks to a Maid Cafe AU prompt over @priapus-at-the-gate. This isn't really a proper maid cafe fic though, like Armand's working there but he uses it as a way to meet clients for fetish work.
I had the idea to structure it as a one-shot with five different sections, one section per client. So there's Marius on Mondays, Santino on Tuesdays, Lestat on Wednesdays, Louis on Thursdays, and Daniel on Fridays. And I wanted each guy to correspond to a couple specific kinks!
Marius: I don't know if Marius and Armand ever actually leave the cafe but Marius comes in every Monday and all he wants is a private room where he can perch Armand on his knee in that skimpy maid outfit and order the entire sweets menu and two jugs of milk and feed him like a child until his stomach is protruding and sloshing. Not sure whether or not they fuck (uncomfortably - for Armand) afterwards. Armand views this as feederism but to Marius it's caretaking, perhaps even age play--the verdict is still out.
Santino: I'm going to have to consult with the Santino girlies (gnc) on this one but I'm thinking something to with flagellation and sensory deprivation. Maybe even breath play. But I can't decide if I want Santino doing to Armand or Armand doing it to Santino.
Lestat: Lestat's the young, bratty, famous rockstar who walked into the cafe one day and without even knowing whether or not Armand was inclined to do fetish work, offered Armand an obscene amount of money to step on him and degrade him, amongst other stuff. There will also be crying and mommy kink. Maybe Lestat will cry for his mommy, idk yet.
Louis: Louis is a bit of an echo of Santino's deprivation kink but he's nowhere near as extreme. Louis prefers to edge himself and he'll never remove his clothes or let himself cum or even be touched, but he's one of two of the clients Armand would trust in his home, and Louis pays a pretty price to spend the day as a silent, passive observer in Armand's apartment. Watching him clean, see a movie, cook, shower, masturbate, and sleep. Never interacting with him or saying a word aside from a warm 'Hello' and 'Thank you, see you next week.'
Daniel: I wanna open with Daniel as being the guy who pays Armand to spend the day with him and pretend to be his boyfriend aka The Boyfriend Experience™️! They go on dates, they cuddle, they play video games, Armand meets Daniel's mom, they fuck, etc. BUT THEN at the end it's revealed that Daniel really is Armand's boyfriend. Sometimes he even fucks him in front of Louis.
#so that's what i've got so far!#feel free to let me know your thoughts like if there's anything else you would assign to these guys/what else they would do!#bts lore i worked out the marius bit with jess and kacy over a obscene amount of food at cracker barrel it just seemed fitting#i'm nervous bc i've never written marius or santino before and louis also stresses me out Imao there's a lot#armand/marius#armand/santino#armand/lestat#armand/daniel#hekate.txt

Anon was so very right, but Daniel is not the only human pet being fed a seafood heavy diet, as you mentioned earlier. How do we know Marius wasn't also crazy about his little Amadeo with his sweet and fishy aroma from the rich diet he was feeding him 🥹🥵 how would he smell when he jumped into his masters arms after a day running around and playing in the sun, feasting on fruit and seafood 🫐🐟👃shrimp sweats run in the family
uncivil lmao
this is killing me because @monstersinthecosmos has made so many good comparisons to how a vampire and their mortal pet is sorta like a human with their pet cat. and so my brain immediately jumps to feeding amadeo a rich diet the same way you try to feed your cats lots of tuna to keep them fit and shiny.
so you're NOT WRONG but as someone who can't even walk into a red lobster because i hate the smell that much, the fact that this is what i've wrought on my own blog today has me rolling lmao
but like at it's core, absolutely, the feederism runs in the family!!! you just know that when he recruited all of those new chefs marius had amadeo sampling the new foods until he was a little unwell feeling 🥹 too full, needing his belly rubbed and a digestion nap!! the copley incident did not happen in a vaccuum, that's gotta be a repeat of another era!!! feeding their pets but also tormenting them and then enjoying the struggle of the mortal body to process it all 10/10 vampire behavior.

Wowie zowie, I'm actually using this!
I used to only come on here for Freaktale stuff, but since the aus dead and I've had traumatic experiences with the undertale community I've decided to put the old blog on archive and use this one for my original project!
"The Shark Dynasty"
It is called!
Here's some cover art...
Here's what I got so far
What is the shark dynasty you ask?
The Shark Dynasty is an original project of mine featuring my ocs. This series will focus on my OC Sky's 8 kids visiting him in the rural parts of Ontario for the summer. Something isn’t right with Sky’s property, and throughout the series it’s learned that sky’s land is corrupted by a mysterious dark magic, this magic creates a rips between dimensions as well as earth's timeline, featuring creatures from the past, present and future, while also being a host to supernatural beings.
It is revealed slowly that the kid's father is behind all of these actions.
That's basically what I got so far! I also have two short comics featuring 4 of the characters!
First one featuring Gillian and Ira (I'll introduce them below)
Gillian has a bunch of pet bugs, one of her Feeder roaches got loose into Ira's room
Good stuff yes.
And the second one features twins Alyssa and Katey!
Alyssa listens to music, helps keep her calm, sometimes though she can get a bit intense while listening to her music, especially if brain power plays! Much to Katey's dismay.
I should probably introduce the kids
I I shared this one already, but I updated the Heights of the youngest three!
In case you missed, from left to right
Wolfgang
Wolfgang is the oldest son of sky as well as the oldest of sky's kids. He's shy and mostly keeps to himself due to trust issues and being stuck in his life, unsure of what to do. He's very passionate about prehistoric life and loves talking about it when he feels open to someone he trusts. Wolfgang is troubled by his past of bullying and having parents who never truly understood him or his needs. Wolfgang is asexual.
Ira
Irais the oldest daughter of sky, she is the 2nd oldest of sky's kids. She's laid back and easy to vibe with, she enjoys spending time with family and friends. She's very passionate about different types of Comic, Manga and animation. She feels regret because she never paid much attention to her family as a kid and what they had to deal with growing up, despite being part of the same house.
Amar
Amar is the second oldest son of sky, he is the 3rd oldest child. Amar is described as an enthusiastic, energetic individual. However he feels depressed and keeps it hidden well, he feels he has no purpose in the world due to bullying. His interest is gaming, He loves any type of game.
Alyssa and Katey
Alyssa and Katey are the middle daughters of sky, they are conjoined twins. Alyssa is Energetic and kind hearted, she's distracted easily. Katey is calm and observant, she usually observes people closely. The twins trust each other deeply as they've experienced everything together, Katey is usually the voice of reason, but sometimes Alyssa might disagree, they often have short clashes with each other, but these never result in arguments unless under stress. They both go through depression due to their condition and how people have treated them because of it.
Marius
Marius is the second youngest son of sky, he is transgender male who never agreed with the gender he was born with. Marius is energetic and quirky while also being quit if he feels uncomfortable.
Marius struggles to make friends, he has a hard time distinguishing good and bad people. However, if Marius feels close with someone he is the complete opposite, friendly, funny and smart.
Marius Enjoys Crystals and is very spiritual, he's a sucker for astrology.
Gillian
She second youngest child of sky Akula.
She is a transgender female who is uncomfortable with her body and doesn't believe it ever fit her.
Gillian is very passionate about learning new things and would rather solve her problems in a civil way. Because of this, she isn't the best fighter of Sky's kids, but this doesn't mean she isn't capable of it.
Gillian is very desensitized towards her current situation. She often sees the best in people and had a harder time picking up on red flags.
Despite Gillian being knowledgeable in things like science, she is very spiritual and believes that a lot of unexplainable events should remain unexplained. She also enjoys the micro world!
Finn
Finn Is the Youngest Son and Youngest Child Of Sky.
He's described as a typical boy, loves games and enjoys the funny stuff in life.
Finn is very cocky and often gets into situations that can be described as chaotic. Often charging into battle head first rather than observing first.
Despite this he's got a good heart deep down,
Now for their cousins.
These 4 are more like side characters, they have backstory, just haven't really thought of it yet 🤔
From left to right we got
Rory
They're pretty chill, they enjoy the casual stuff in life, but they also experience crazy adrenaline rushes and is often seen doing some more intense things.
They never truly agreed with the gender they were born, they identified as non binary.
Everest
Everest is often described as shy and reserved, however, when she's with her sister Ivany she's the life of the party, she feels closest to her sister and trust her the most
Ivany
Ivany is described as sweet caring and a bit on the timid side, she's pretty close with her sister as they share a bound after Everest opened up to Ivany about bullying she had experienced.
Alexander
Alexander is an average kid, he enjoys playing games and sports, he's got a decent group of friends he hangs out with.
Oh also one more thing about Ivany and Everest
prepare for some weird shit
Ivany and Everest can merge together like Alyssa and Katey while also being able to separate, what? You thought these kids were humans? Nah nah nah, they are something else, though it'll take some time to explain.
Now why is this weird? Well I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not, but sky conjoined Alyssa and Katey while they were developing, he did the same with Ivany and Everest, though it wasn't successful as they can separate anytime unlike Sky's Twins
The reason Sky did this is because he himself had absorbed his twin when he was created, and he wants to see how others would live out what he could have experienced...
Yeah sky's messed up, at least the twins are okay with the idea, well they are now, when they found out you can imagine how devastated they were when they found out first.
Speaking of Sky
Here's him next to his wife Adhira, and his beast form with and without wings! (Used a reference for them)
Adhira is Energetic, caring and sweet, though she can get defensive if provoked, she is very protective of each of her kids especially!
And now other side characters.
We got
Terry the troodontid, what species? Anyone's guess.
He's an ally of sky's kids as well as sky Himself, he's also an old OC of mine! Used to be a Jurassic park troodon
Edwin aka Legion is a mysterious figure that is sent by sky to keep an eye out on sky's kids.
Ivy Is A Plant Princess, she's laid back and would rather be a normal civilian.
And Richard... he's just Richard, that's all.
And here's death, aka the grim reaper (I used a reference for this one as well, you'll notice I use references for a lot of dinosaur drawings, I wanna practice with em better) one of the kids gets all sad and starts thinking about a permanent solution to a temporary problem, so he appears and sacres the kid into rethinking that.
That's all I got for now, I'll try to keep this updated.

Les Amis and Pets
Jehan has a very old and very fluffy black cat named Dante.
Grantaire has a fat tabby cat named Michelangelo.
Joly and Bossuet have a kitten that Joly found outside their apartment. Joly briefly worried about diseases, but he couldn't leave it out in the cold.
Bahorel witnessed some idiots throwing rocks at a cat , beat the idiots up, and took it home, even though he's more of a dog person. The cat is a very dog like cat, though, behavior wise. Its usually friendly, unless it thinks someone is hurting Bahorel. His name is Fred.
Combeferre has fish, which he studies the behavior of with fascination, and draws pictures of them.
Enjolras and Feuilly are too busy and think they don't have time for pets. Enjolras does give money to animal rescues, though. (At least in modern aus. I don't know that too many animal rescue organizations even existed in the 1830s).
Courfeyrac wants a cat or a dog, but his apartment doesn't allow them.
Marius isn't really an animal person, but he does think horses are pretty. From a distance. And he keeps bird feeders for the songbirds.

You reblogged your post about sending in Marius headcanons, so some headcanons.
He's rather confused at first when he sees how Courfeyrac interacts with the amis. Courf platonically bestows physical affection upon his friends in abundance. He's always wrapping his arm around someone, or hugging them, or gently ruffling their hair. Marius is very much not used to this (I'm not sure his grandfather and aunt are the hugging type, and he hasn't really known too many other people.) He doesn't dislike physical affection, he's just not used to it. Courf respects his boundaries. The first time Marius reaches out to wrap his arm around Courfeyrac, Courfeyrac is very happy.
(I don't know if more than one is allowed, but)
He starts a garden after the end of the book (in honor of his father and Mabeuf) and it becomes one of his and Cosette's favorite places. He puts up bird feeders there.
YES omg so for the first headcanon I love the idea of him not being used to physical affection but growing more and more ok with it with the Amis and all 🥺🥺🥺 so sweet. I really think that Marius is the kind of guy who really keeps to himself (both emotionally and physically), especially around the people he loves out of fear of driving them away so just the thought of him slowly open up to others is very sweet :))))
and for the second headcanon ABSOLUTEL, especially since Cosette canonically loves gardens and bugs and all of that, I think on their days off they’d be there all the time!

Chapter 8
He prayed easily and with a light heart, giving his thanks for his newfound strength and good spirits. His state of relaxation afterwards took him by surprise. His mind was experiencing a calm, peaceful version of shell-shock. His near-constant state of anxiety had long been normalised, and it was a rare day when he was free of it or other intrusive thoughts.
Jean's mind was mercifully blank. He sat in his garden, feeling nothing in the best of ways - cleansed of troubles. He just sat and listened to the birds, who had ventured out when the rain stopped, celebrating the damp soil it left behind and the worms it had summoned.
He remembered Cosette sitting on his knee, keeping very quiet to watch the little birds as he whispered their names to her. How he lifted her up to refill the feeders, and how her eyes sparkled with utter delight when they encouraged a robin to feed from her hand. He remembered when she would bring bugs to him that she didn't recognise, and how he would put the caterpillars in jars so she could witness what they became - moths and butterflies of all sizes and colours.
She knew that everything had its place and purpose, that everything, no matter how small, was important in some way. She expressed interest in spiders and less desirable insects just the same as the butterflies, and Jean had loved her for that.
[Thanks to @madmerchant for providing such incredible cover art and realising my concept for it far better than I could ever have imagined!!!!]

⋆ ◦ ° ☾ eliza scanlen + cisfemale + she/her — have you seen daciana vasile? they sure have been hanging out at caito mansion a lot recently. they are a twenty-four year old known as the ballerina, and they currently work for the savages as a book keeper, which they’ve been doing for six months. a straight-ish aquarius, they are intelligent + charming , as well as reckless + callous. new pointe shoes, champagne sunrises, the loneliness one can only find in large cities.
BACKGROUND: (tw drug use, murder, eating disorder)
Daci is the middle child, stuck between the failed eldest, Marcelline and her younger sister Cornelia, her father’s favorite. She bargained her way out of Valdez early, when the local ballet teacher mysteriously disappeared and the studio had to close. There was an audition in Denver for the most impressive school in the country, a direct feeder to New York’s biggest ballet companies. She begged her parents to let her attend, and when offered a place she begged them to let her go. Marius Vasile was not a particularly warm or indulgent father, but perhaps he recognized her talent, and the restlessness in the child. He gave her ten years, and she promised to join the Savages then, not truly understanding what she was signing up for. Far too clever for her own good, and utterly bored by her hometown, Daciana got out as soon as she could.
She is good, a beautifully talented dancer who can express so much emotion in the smallest movement. She thrived in New York, distancing herself from the things her family did that she had been too young to understand. She was offered a position in the company at a young age, but part of her bargain was to keep up with her education. Her father stayed in contact, sending her money and vague updates from home, attending as many of her performances as he could.
She found out about her mother’s death from a missed call and a text message from her father. He is nothing if not direct. She came back for the funeral, her first visit home since she’d left. Things were, different. Her father and sister were stone faced and silent at the funeral, where as Daci’s emotional nature could not be contained. She hadn’t seen her mother since she’d left Valdez six years earlier, and regretted not coming home before. On this trip she also learned about the fate of Marci, the look on her father’s face when she asked enough to shut her up quickly.
Back in NY, Daciana excelled within the company and at school. She was accepted to study Economics at NYU, her father allowing her to delay to finish her education. She was popular at school, her natural mind for numbers and perfectionism did her well. Besides, she was beautiful and wealthy, with the natural elegance and charm that came from a professional classical dancer. Her life was perfect, and she loved every minute of it. Acceptance to a masters program in economics at Columbia bought her two more years, her father understanding the value of her mind and advanced degrees. But the clock was always ticking....
She could not delay forever, and her destiny came after graduation. She supposed she was lucky that her father let her finish out the season as to not break her contract with the company. But he came to her final performance, the title role in Giselle, ignoring the quiet tears streaming down her face as they rode to the airport in silence. She did not have long to adjust to her old life, in the childhood bedroom still fit for a ten year old, before he expected her to join.
It was a business rival of her father’s, easy enough to approach in the dimly lit bar. She was beautiful, and had that charming, musical laugh that enchanted him even as she turned him down. The poison was slow acting, and he wouldn’t drop dead until she was out of the city. The national news papers ran the story the next morning, and she grabbed one on her way to the airport. It should be enough, and she was sure her father hadn’t sent her alone, unseen trusted watchers always around her.
Currently she’s struggling to adjust to small town life again, using that masters degree to assist her father in running his company and book keeping for the Savages. She’s a perfectionist, and catches things others might have missed. She hopes that after nearly six months, he will trust her more so that he is able to focus on more important things. She has her eye on the old dance studio, and recently bought the building (or had her father buy it for her), and is considering reopening it.
Other things:
-Daci still has the remnants of the eating disorders so prevalent in ballet, she doesn’t like to talk about it and will deny it
-she’s incredibly reckless, work hard play hard is her motto. She is not quiet with her affection, and has broken more hearts than she knows, fear of getting bored keeps her from staying in any one bed too long.
-has dabbled in drugs before, her favorite being coke but she know her father hates it. She is slightly abusing her adderall prescription but it hasn’t caused her any problems yet.
-she’s very new to the whole life, having spent more time away from Valdez than in it, and she doesn’t entirely understand it. She’s lived too long in her father’s protection and away from the politics and rules. She’s gonna learn and its probably gonna hurt
-Daci is a princess, in every aspect of the word. She doesn’t like to get her hands dirty, fulfilling her initiation requirement with a rare type of poison. She’s a huge brat if she doesn’t get her way.
-She’d got a head for numbers, and a very good memory for things she reads. She’s not so good at languages, and struggles slightly to keep up with her family speaks in Romanian.
-She secretly resents her family and the life they chose for her, she wishes she had more time, she wishes she’d gone farther away, but she knows there is no where she could have ran that he would not have found her. And she knows he would not let another child get away.
WANTED PLOTS
- ex-lover / former watchdog: daddy made sure daci wasn't alone in NY, this person was assigned to make sure she was ok, and whoops they slept together. he's now back in Valdez and so is she so lots of ~drama~ and *Amma Crellin voice* “Don't tell daddy”
- mentors: daci barely knew her mother, spent the past 14 years living on her own and basically doing whatever the fuck she wanted so this girl needs some DIRECTION
- bad influence: she's already one, this person would ideally push her deeper and more violent. she is a soft child but also not that soft
- tormentor: look we are all just here to hurt our children, don't lie. this person is ideally a cobra who's gonna HURT lil babe daci
- best bitches: PALS DACI NEEDS LOTS OF PALS, especially those down to generally be delinquents, ride or die, literally ANYTHING
HI y'all I am gracie here with the youngest retiree in the town, literally just come fuck us up plz
#outlaw.intro#this is a work in progress#I promise to write better I just wanted her out there#this has been updated with connections!#wanted!#and a new face!

A Sketch of Two Factory Towns
Have a Friendlier Skies fic!
squad: @pilferingapples, @samyazaz, @kingedmundsroyalmurder, @crossgartered
One: Hougomont
“The Orchard is terrible!” they all say afterwards, though no one could be bothered to say it before everything went wrong.
The Orchard was the multi-billion-dollar conglomerate that got a stranglehold on the production at Hougomont, and eventually took over the entire planet with factory towns and strip mines and lumbermills. They did basically everything bad that could be done to an environment, and in their cozy homes on Paris or Montreuil and Vernon, everyone shook their heads about how unfortunate it was for that planet, but really they were all glad that at least it was happening somewhere else.
The Orchard expanded its footprint quadrant by quadrant, and then had to pull back as each continent in turn became totally unusable, until finally half the workers had been laid off, and the rest packed into cramped apartments in the single sprawling city of Nivelles.
Unions, of course, were illegal on the planet, and specifically forbidden by the contracts signed by all employees of the Orchard, but the leaders of these subversive groups got around that by saying their members couldn’t read the contracts to know what was allowed and not, since education was never provided for by the company which relocated millions of families. This was not as great a lie as might have been hoped; illiteracy continued to be a problem across the planet. Not everyone flaunted the rules so blatantly; many workers refused to join the union and plenty even sold them out and tipped off the foremen when a group would be meeting. Some, like M. Thenardier, tried to play both sides off of each other, though he had limited success.
No one knows exactly the sequence of events that led to the Disaster, as it is called, but it is certain that it occurred during a strike, and between the toxic smog and the radiation and the violence that had been building already, only one of the major players survived, a factory boss who was able to afford replacement limbs and organs.
Many workers and villagers were evacuated, but many more were left behind, dead and dying. And people on the remaining worlds shuddered and at least did lip service to improving quality and environmental standards.
Prisoners were once as likely to be shipped to Hougomont as to Toulon, the penal colony, and even after the Disaster, they remained, but within a year it became clear that this was unprofitable for two reasons. First, there were simply no resources left to exploit, and second, prisoners were dying at a rate that became unsustainable even with the understanding that criminals were entirely expendable.
This was about the time that the Gorbeau stopped making runs to Hougomont. Even a ship with a no-questions-asked policy in regards to its passengers could do very little good in a place so desolate that no one could inhabit it without the proper breathing apparatuses.
Gillenormand belongs to that political group formed of armchair economists and philosophers, convinced that the experiment at Hougomont was a victory for capitalism, and simultaneously looks down on anyone who worked there, because clearly they are layabouts and bottom-feeders. Marius is raised to hate the very idea of his father, and when he learns more about the actual goals of the union he was a part of, his change in attitude is dramatic and violent, and he finds that he cannot share a home with his grandfather.
Two: Montreuil
Several years before the Disaster at Hougomont, the Gorbeau landed on the next planet in the chain to make deliveries to the more isolated towns of M-sur-M. As was customary, the ship stayed docked for two weeks and when it departed it was spiriting away a young woman going to Paris to seek her fortune.
She called herself Fantine and as she had adequate funds to pay her passage the crew was disinclined to ask whether that was her real name, or to press her for a surname. There were any number of reasons a person might want to conceal what they had been called in early life, as they well knew, and this discretion and right to privacy contributed to the longevity of the ship’s name and reputation. In fact, Fantine was a shortening of enfantine, and though she was nearly twenty she was very childlike. What began as a survival technique and a way to ensure sympathy and charity for this girl living on the streets had persisted even after it was no longer a benefit to her. But now she was looking forward to making an honest living in a new life where no one knew her.
Several years after the last flames that consumed what remained of The Orchard were only a memory, the Gorbeau left a town in the suburbs of Paris carrying a shipment of bolivar hats and a wistful woman, not quite young, headed to M-sur-M. They never kept detailed records of who used their services, and in any case the crew turnover was rapid enough that in five years only the concierge-bot and one of the engineers were the same. Nevertheless, this was the same Fantine who had been so eager to go where she was inconnu, returning because she was known.
She carried the gold hair and pearly teeth on and in her head, and a change of clothes nearly as ragged as what she wore, and not much else. What she took with her was nothing to the weight of the bundle she had left behind at Montfermeil. Knowing that a single mother could rarely move as far or as fast as one connected to a husband, she had entrusted the child to a loving home in the hopes of preparing a better future for them both. She couldn’t bring herself to invent a dead husband to replace the man who had left her, but she could deny by omission the child she had left. A necessary fiction, and one for which we must not judge her too harshly.
Just as no one on the ship recognized Fantine when she boarded, she hardly recognized her hometown when she returned to solid gravity. The region was thriving now, and when she left it had merely survived. It seemed that a stranger had come to town not too long ago with just enough seed money to invest in a factory on its last legs. On inspecting the accounting records for the past decade, his first question was, “Why are we still doing piecework?” He always maintained that wages should not be payment for the product they put out, nearly as much as compensation for the labor put in.
Depending on who was asked, this new philosophy was either noble or foolish, and in truth there had been an uneasy period of transition when it seemed that all these plans would fall apart. The factory only rode the winds of change through the extra funds that M. Madeleine brought to the equation, and the discovery that his predecessor had been skimming from the top. As his own needs were much more simple, and as the extent of his sacrifice could hurt no one but himself, he decided that his personal comfort was not as important as the dignity of thousands of people.
In the months between the initial announcement of this change and its implementation, fears and rumors flew. Those who had always been the highest producers were terrified of losing that edge and sinking back into the poverty of their fellows. Meanwhile the workers who struggled to keep up with the demands of the factory and should have been most relieved could not but fear that retribution would come for them in some new and horrible form. It always had before.
Madeleine did all he could to soothe these fears and explain his plans for the future. He kept the place from tumbling headlong into anarchy, but only just. Everyone just had to wait and see what would happen.
When the first few payments were made under the new system and the sky failed to collapse on anyone’s head, what happened is that the entire town seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and tensions between worker and employer eased, though they did not dissipate.
As time went on, everyone found that they could relax more, inch by cautious inch. At their jobs they did not have to constantly look over their shoulders for fear of being caught for some as-yet unknown infraction. Competition between employees, while still serious, was not the same matter of life and death it once had been. At the end of the day they’d all go home with the same pay for the same hours.
And when they arrived at home it was to find that after paying rent there was more money left over in case of emergency. No one was living like a prince, but suddenly just living was no longer such an impossible task. In fact, as the nearby shops and cafes discovered, when a person needed some item they could often simply buy it, without needing to scrimp and save for months or settling for a cheaper model that would only break straight away.
As a barren planet brought to life by the bacteria hitchhiking in on a meteor, so the entire region where Montreuil was nestled seemed to be enriched by stardust, and the name of that star was Madeleine.
It was at this factory that Fantine started a life.

Tonight we said farewell to mr Marius! We got him from our local wildlife rescue and he was being treated for a skin problem - his entire body was flaky! He was a very young one too, and we’ve had him overwinter. His skin is so much better, he is 933g and definitely ready to venture out. This is him having a look at the blocked 2nd entrance to the feeder 😂 he was off clicking away, exploring the garden before venturing into next doors garden. Also off tonight is miss catherine of Aragon, only 2 night stay. Her ears look so much better after a couple of days of cream (daktorin) and afternoon a clean poo sample (crazy!) was repeated and still clean she’s back out. 866g. Thinking in the next few nights mr Charlie will be going, and if we can figure out how then miss Kyra will be released too! Have to work it out with her finder (who has a hog house, feeder and a camera to keep an eye on her) Kyra only has 1 eye, but she manages well 👌 #hedgehog #isolation #hedgehogfoster https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0QQh1BFLC/?igshid=1mv6nom0d1acs

Les Mis Tumblr Blogs
Enjolras is obviously an SJW blog. (I disagree with the common perception that he’d have a feeder/fat fetishizing blog I think that Grantaire would have to be pretty chubby, but uh, the chubby!Grantaire fandom is weird AF about it)
Grantaire is an anti-SJW and foodie blog
Feuilly is an art blog who goes inactive for long periods of time because of his busy work schedule
Montparnasse steals Feuilly’s art and takes credit for it. He is actually more popular than Feuilly because he’s more consistent in activity
Jehan Prouvaire is weeb trash
Joly self-diagnoses himself with a minimum of ten mental illnesses and calls everyone else ableist
Cosette is a positivity blog for plus-size WOC like herself, lots of fashion, beauty, liberal feminism
Éponine is a man-hating feminist blog who is also obsessed with Marius’s blog. She also has Bipolar Disorder, and vents about it a lot. And debates with Joly about it
Marius is basically one of those proudmixedraceconservative or whatever blogs. He is Autistic, but he doesn’t understand the problem with calling people “libt*rds”, and he thinks that Marco Rubio is perfect (I’m actually a big RuBAEo fan, but no one is perfect – let alone a politician!). Marius also reblogs a lot of langblrs/studyblrs, obviously

okay but how many pets do you have?? Idk if this is right but I've seen so many animals on your blog... snakes, cat(s?), peafowl???? mice????
The short answer is A LOT.
The long answer is a lot! I live on an old farm house with a bit over 8 acres, and we’re building large bird pens for the outdoor birds as we go. I have ten peafowl outside (three boys and seven girls). There is also Joslin, my turkey, and around 20 laying hens and another 20 mixed-reason chickens (a marans breeding trio, a hackles breeding quartet, and some babies from last year’s hatching season, and a couple that are just neat pets).
Indoors, I have Beep the peahen, two cats (Lenore and Aislynn), five snakes (two boas, two pythons, and a corn snake), and a few breeding tanks of fancy mice.
Overall, nothing here takes much work on a daily basis- the birds all have large feeders and waterers, so I normally walk through their pens and watch them for a little bit after work to make sure no one is hurt or missing or sick, and then fill their food and water containers every few days. Indoors, Sark feeds the cats and scoops their litter, and the mice have large water bottles and food containers so they also only need to be fed/watered every few days. So, they just get checked on for the same as the chickens. I poke my nose in on the snakes daily as well, to health check/change their waters and make sure they haven’t messed in their enclosures, and they get fed anywhere from every week (for the baby corn) to every 30-60 days (for my big boa lady).
Beep is the one who is the most intensive work. She’s got her own feeder with normal bird chow, but she also eats fresh foods with us every day, and gets fresh foods in a bowl or pinned around her room for enrichment while I am at work. When I get home, after I do my normal chores, she gets 2-3 hours of time hanging out with me. Some nights we watch tv (she does watch, often), some nights I write while she sleeps on my legs. Some nights she ignores me in favor of wandering around pulling things of shelves and bothering the cats and watching the mice run around.
ASIDE from my normal menagerie, I do often receive animals from folks who need to rehome them for various reasons (they are moving, or they were not prepared to take care of an animal, or whatever), and often have rescues passing through while a more permanent home is found for them. Even the occasional wildlife rescue makes it through my hands, as people know they can come to me with animals and that they will be handled appropriately to their needs. Sometimes this includes fixing and releasing, sometimes this includes bringing them to vets or rescue centers that can take them.
More often, it’s pets. Over the last 10 years or so, I’ve unofficially fostered a lot of animals, birds, and snakes, and rabbits, and rodents, and even a dog once. Usually it’s a case like Marius, who was a stray cat at a hunter’s house, eating his gut piles one winter, and I was told he planned to shoot the cat, so I came to pick him up as a barn cat, and a week later a friend met him and fell in love and he is not an utterly spoiled house cat. Marius would have been welcome to stay here forever- in fact, any pet animal I take in would always have a forever home here if they needed one (which is also why what I take in is limited to what I am able to permanently keep and properly care for appropriately and permanently), but a lot of times someone meets them here, and if they want to take them in instead, I let them. This finds the animals a forever home, and frees up a space here to take the next emergency in. And there always is one on the horizon, it seems, which is unfortunate.
Fortunately, I’m often able to help!
