Here are some meme ideas I have for my Villains React concept

[paperori0]

The villains in the Alex Rider series should be glad they were only shot to death because their deaths in the books sounds more painful T^T

TW - Violence/Graphic descriptions of horrible deaths

Hugo Grief (Greif in the TV series) - He was trying to escape on helicopter and Alex literally drove a motorcycle, jumped off the last second, and exploded Grief's helicopter. In the TV series he was killed by Yassen

Damian Cray - He landed on a trolley and got pushed off Air force one, than drove into the plane engine and shredding him into mincemeat. In the TV series, he was shot to death by Yassen

Julia Rothman - She was either crushed by the hot air ballon basket or the rectangular thing :/ in the TV series she was shot to death by Mrs Jones

Nile - He was set on fire and fell to his death. In the TV series, he was shot through the neck by Yassen

Stellenbosch - she got killed in the explosion with the fight against Alex in the TV series and got shot and thrown out the window in the books

Alex Rider: No I don't want to kill people because killing is bad and wrong. Also Alex Rider: *shoots a snowmobile at Hugo Grief's helicopter, killing him in a fiery inferno, then makes a pun about it*

[aliveaudiencegang]

they really just let a suspicious looking scarred man in all black saunter up to their vehicle, with a top priority prisoner, and place a device on it

Before writing Les Mis, Hugo’s beloved 19-year-old daughter Leopoldine tragically drowned. As a result Les Mis is full of drowning imagery— drowning as a a symbol of impossible grief and loss, drowning as a symbol of being left behind by a society that doesn’t care about protecting your life, drowning as a method of suicide.

The les mis letters chapter today is the first chapter where Hugo highlights the drowning imagery that becomes central to the rest of the novel. The horrible symbolic death Valjean suffers as a result of being entirely isolated and forgotten by a society that doesn’t value his life is also foreshadowing of Javert’s eventual death.

Throughout the novel, Eponine also frequently talks about her desire to drown herself in the Seine; Thenardier monologues about how “the river is the true grave” and when bodies fall in it “justice makes no inquiries;” later Valjean escapes prison by faking his death by drowning, and so on and so on. There’s this emphasis that drowning doesn’t just mean death, it means erasing yourself from existence. It means you’re forgotten.

One of the saddest references to the death of Leopoldine is the way Valjean and Javert learn about the other’s death (or “death.”)

Hugo learned about his daughter’s death not from a family member/friend, but by reading about it in a newspaper. He was on vacation away from his family at the time. He was reading the news in a cafe and happened to stumble on an article about Leopoldine’s horrible tragic drowning, which was how he first learned that she was dead.

When Javert learns about Valjean’s “death” in prison (when Valjean pretends to drown in order to escape), he learns about it by reading it in the newspaper. When Valjean learns about Javert’s death by drowning, he learns about it by reading it in the newspaper.

So…yeah :(. Les Mis is full of all these agonized metaphors around drowning (as a metaphor for death/grief/being entirely forgotten by the people around you) and part of that comes from Hugo’s own deep personal trauma around the death of death of his daughter.

Thoughts on Spring & A New Series 💌🌸💭

🌸 Spring is the season of life and rebirth. The world is being reawakened as Persephone returns to her mother. Students are finishing school for the term, flower shops and farmer's markets are opening, and overall, there's an excited buzz in the air.

🌸 Spring is also the season of love, despite commercial belief. Victor Hugo writes, "If people did not love one another, I really don't see what the use there would be in having any spring." He's right—spring is the season for budding relationships, making amends with people, and starting anew. 

💭 As a black, queer femme in America, spring has always felt like a precursor to my official return from hibernation. The time needed to perfect my summer wardrobe and to find the lotion-oil-perfume combination that will last me all day and leave me enticing and moisturized for hours. As a writer, spring is the season in which I am most inspired by the world around me. I begin to write love letters to the Earth and to the mundane, which leads me to a very special project I've been planning. 

 

Black Girl Notes presents "Love Letters: All the Things We Wish to Say." From April 29th through May 31st, I will be hosting a series that seeks to promote healthy, effective communication with the underlying goal of healing ourselves and building interpersonal community. The first installment of the "Love Letters" series is "Love Letters: To Our Dearly Departed."

 

While spring is the season of renaissance, it is not absolved from death. In my short twenty-four years, I have experienced death more during springtime than any other season. Using my experience as a basis, I think as we begin to transition from spring to summer, we should help heal the traumas of losing those who may have transitioned from life far too soon.

 

💌 "Love Letters" will begin with an opportunity to share an anonymous letter with your dearly departed loved ones. A link to a form to write anything you wish to say to someone you may have lost will be posted here on this blog, as well as on my Substack under the Black Girl Notes tab and on my Instagram (@terizahh, @shop.nellmaria, and @theeriscompany). If you choose to write a letter to a loved one, you will be given the option of receiving a response from me. I am not a licensed therapist, and I simply want to help ease pain and build community. 

 

When I was young and grieving the loss of my adoptive mother and eventually my biological mother, I found solace in online communities. My responses will simply be an expression of understanding and sharing that I will always be there for those who may need a shoulder to cry on.

 

💭 The form for submitting a letter to a loved one will remain open until May 3rd. On May 3rd, I will be sharing a post about Death and the Black Community, which will be available to read in full on Substack. Each week, a new "Love Letters" topic will be shared with the opportunity to leave a letter to those who you wish to be able to speak to.

 

Finally, at the end of the series, we will have a celebration of love in all its forms, from families to friends to relationships to finding ourselves. There will be Substack exclusive interviews with some amazing people throughout this series whose stories will hopefully inspire and encourage you.

 

I look forward to writing and reading your love letters 💌💭.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid

[imnotadogiswear]

I’ve only read up to Ark Angel at this point but here are some more ideas for a villains react to the books fic:

Begins with Russian Roulette so everyone knows what Yassen’s deal is

Smithers becomes a prime target for revenge/kidnapping

Cray begrudgingly respecting Alex for dropping Skoda on a police conference

Sharkovsky twists how he treated Yassen: “He ate fine food every day!”

Everyone compares their henchmen

Grief being his charming racist self

Rothman gets called out for her creepy behavior (like seriously, she called a 14-year-old her “boy toy”)

Sarov still caring about Alex

Yassen is mocked for his attachment to the Riders

Every character tears into each other’s mistakes

In the end they’re all transported to before the series began. What changes do they make?

Feel free to add on ideas!

The five of cups is like all fives, a depressing card with a silver linings. In this case it is a sense of loss or with the promise of something new that comes after acceptance of what you have lost and looking forward to what the future brings when tomorrom comes.

"He asked Hugo out on a date once. Hugo said no. He wasn't happy about it and has been torturing us all ever since." The skin under Wallace's right eye twitched. "What?" Nelson patted his shoulder. "I knew you'd see it my way." "Mei!" Wallace shouted. "Bring back the knife!" Mei burst through the doors again, now carrying a knife in each hand. "No knives!" Hugo barked. She turned around and stalked back into the kitchen.

the fact that hugo expresses his feelings for frank the moment he learns frank intends to throw the rest of his life away. the fact that frank will not allow himself the same luxury until he's left with hugo dying in his arms. the fact that hugo's last living act is to get frank to smile. the fact that his true final act -his own death- causes frank to collapse with inconsolable grief.
