I love your AU and the miraculous side effects are fascinating. I’ve been wondering about the rabbit though.

It seems like there could be a few different things. Would the wielder just eat a lot of vegetables, would they start randomly time looping, or experience the events of their lives out of order?

If you’re not going to include the rabbit because of the time travel, though, I completely understand and I really hope that I’m not coming off as annoying.

Alix's side effects are rather different from the rest. She's experiencing life outside of time for the most part, which makes her not only prone to mundane things like combining together fashion and slang from various centuries, but also larger issues like being unable to form meaningful interpersonal relationships!

Her emotions are also affected too—Alix does not feel things, really, as her emotions are more of a natural extension of What Must Be Done. If things go haywire she's angry, if things are as they should be she's mildly content (but never really happy), but nothing beyond that. Especially not grief for the life she could've had if only she wasn't destined to turn out this way.

Her experience of life "out of order" is also a side effect that's more self-imposed than any of her peers', but even still it wasn't as if she truly had a say in the matter. She's just a cog in the machine now, not a person. Not a girl.

(actually I personally have some thoughts on how adrien and alix could parallel each other in terms of gender and how they've been forced into identities they didn't ask for. Le Dauphine and L’héritière. so on so forth)

Also Alix cannot date anybody without it being problematic because she's technically millions of years old even though she was born only 16 years ago.

Re: your tags on that post about ADHD: if it helps, this is like, my exact experience and I got diagnosed with ADHD recently. The "sat in front of an assignment I am capable of producing Something for but not doing it for hours, even though there is external pressure on me" happened to me, repeatedly, and in my last year of highschool it even had me crying on an almost weekly basis. That's what got me to fail the last semester of my licence last year, also. If it's bothering you and you're in a position to, I'd recommend getting an appointment with a specialist to check & so they can help (and if you have options, not an older guy, they're the most likely to tell you that if you weren't a hyperactive boy well you must be fine, which. Okay. Well I'm not.) I had to wait maybe like six months for an appointment at a public hospital, mais hey grâce à la sécu c'était gratuit and the lady was very helpful. In any case, I'm shaking your hand metaphorically. Me too 😔

yeah i might do that at some point but i've had pretty bad experiences with mental health care in general and specifically the people i mentioned possibly having adhd to. like. I tried four times i think? to four different professions, two of them i was seeing for entirely something else and two specifically because i suspected adhd, et je me suis fait expédier hyper vite donc au final je sais pas si je me suis fait skip par des docteurs qui avaient la flemme, ou si c'est obvious que j'ai pas de TDAH (aussi vu que aucun psy avant ni depuis n'a mentionné ça à part apparemment mon pédiatre quand j'avais 3 ans ?)

bref je suis juste tellement pas préparé.e à ramener et défendre mon dossier et tout, parce que de toute façon l'anxiété-dépression c'est avéré, historique de phobie scolaire c'est avéré, y'a peut-être potentiellement un autisme qui se balade aussi, donc ce serait pas un diag plié en voyant s'il y a symptôme ou pas quoi. Après je me doute bien que c'est une situation plutôt commune pcq ça va main dans la main les comorbidités, mais qmême.

désolé.e je vais ramble mais j'ai une immense hantise de me rattacher à l'idée d'avoir un TDAH juste parce que c'est un truc pour lequel il y a des médicaments. Parce que j'ai envie de find the vitamin et de trouver LE truc qui va régler tous mes défauts et toutes mes mauvaises habitudes, toute ma mauvaise hygiène de travail. J'ai trop peur de mal interpréter les symptômes du TDAH, j'ai trop peur de dramatiser ce que je vis, j'ai trop peur de mal comprendre et identifier mes problèmes, j'ai trop peur d'essayer de rejeter la faute sur un problème neurologique alors que c'est un truc sur lequel j'aurais pu bosser moi-même quoi.

Du coup le tag why i could have adhd le but c'est un peu de regrouper des indications queeeeee.... voilà quoi. Mais ouais. Je saurais pas défendre ça devant un.e pro. Et surtout bah, autant l'autisme y'a déjà une pro qui l'a suggéré (justement une dame qui m'a expédié.e comme un chien de son cabinet quand j'étais venu.e dire que je pensais que j'avais un TDAH, elle m'a dit d'aller voir du côté du centre régional de l'autisme ou jsp quoi si elle y était, plus ou moins), autant le TDAH non. Mais en même temps, si ce que je vis est un TDAH, primo on connaît les stats de diag des petites filles, et deuzio 80% de ma famille agit comme ça. DONC JSP. bref.

très peur de me faire reject comme un chien encore et de me demander si le doc est un gros con qui n'a rien examiné, ou si le doc a été méchant mais a correctement examiné et dédui mon cas. trop peur aussi de me faire diag et de devoir entamer un suivi et tout dans mes circonstances actuelles. et trop peur de me faire diag et d'avoir des médicaments qui ne marchent pas et de me rendre compte qu'en fait c'était même pas ça le problème. bref les classiques.

Si Buffy se passait en 1883...

Vous saviez qu’avant les années 1990, les séries TV, c’était mal vu? Ca paraît étrange à dire aujourd’hui, mais tout ce qui était “pour la télévision”, c’était un sous-produit du cinéma. Il a fallu une poignée de créateurs un peu fous et un peu visionnaires pour changer ça : Chris Carter pour les X-Files (1993), Michael Crichton pour Urgences (1994), et Josh Whedon pour Buffy contre les vampires…

Can tell us more about the school and how the characters got into the school

Lycée FDP* is a prestigious private school, with its student body being divided into bourgeois (rich tuition paying students who have no troubles in paying for the education) and prolos (students attending on scholarships or otherwise barely paying just enough to be there).

Most of the prolos are put in the same classes by the school, which further reinforces the class divide. Hell, even the uniforms are different based on whether or not you're a scholarship kid.

*This is the most common abbreviation for the school among students, because it's also an acronym for "son of a whore" and teenagers find that sort of thing funny.

More extension on the linguistics of the word terreur during the French Revolution, since it's a really large discussion in the circle. It is notable that in majority of 18th century the word terreur did not carry as much negative connotation as we associate it with today. I am not stating that 18th century thought terror is cool and good, but rather, the word terreur is more associated with the concepts of "sublime", closer to the feeling of being awestruck. which could still have transitioned nicely into 19th century romanticism: the association of something terrible but also beauty. So that is one layer of how Enjolras could be embodying the word "terrible".

Now during the Revolution the word terreur was used in multiple contexts, but the most prominent one that was probably on Hugo's mind while writing is Robespierre's famous speech about terreur and vertu (yeah this is a robespierre blog....). Now before the famous speech, Montesquieu and Robespierre himself have defined terreur as the principle of despotic governments. Well we all know Enjolras is obviously not associated with principle of despotism. Rather, the point of Robespierre's very famous speech is to associate terreur with the method of exceptional government, defining it as "prompt, severe, inflexible justice". This association between terreur and justice is very intimate and sometimes interchangeable in many French Revolutionaries' speeches.

In fact I see Hugo's use of the word "terrible" almost as a direct reference to the action that Enjolras performs later when he executes Le Cabuc – an exceptional case of exacting justice, however horrible it may be.

It must be mentioned though, while there is already a certain amount of historiography on the French Revolution by Hugo's time, it is still different from our current historiography (and certainly very very different from popular media). Hugo does not see terreur as simply justice (something entirely positive) as Robespierre defined.

By the time of Robespierre's death, other Revolutionaries have begun to use the word terreur in way that make it seem like an official regime, kickstarting the idea of a capitalized "Terreur" as an organized initiatives, a system. Because of this post-event construct, many major historians of that period heavily emphasized on the duality of the Revolution, usually giving a lot of credit to 1798-1792, and 1793 onwards as the Terror aka "shit goes down", separating it into the good years vs the violent years. Hence, the word terreur began to gain more negative connotations in the French political landscape.

Hugo is not so exempt from this thought pattern. He sees Robespierre very much as an embodiment of the Revolution's principles (aka the leader), and the Revolution falls into a clean plot of "the justice of the Revolution is sometimes cruel and overly severe".

(Also I don't know how many non-frev people are gonna read this but I don't view the Revolution as "started out good until they went too far and became bad" and I don't view Robespierre as a leader. )

So what is the conclusion? "Enjolras était un jeune homme charmant, capable d'etre terrible." I think there is a strong link between the word choice "terrible" and "terreur" from the French Revolution. And, given Hugo's time period, the word "terreur" has a close association with justice but also slightly more undesirable/violent connotation.

TLDR, Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of prompt, severe, inflexible justice.

One thing that annoys me about most translations of Les Mis is of that line that everyone loves, you know, “Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible”?

So the original French line is “Enjolras était un jeune homme charmant, capable d'etre terrible.”

Sounds like a pretty simple and sound translation, right? But the thing is, the word ‘terrible’ in English is used a bit differently than the same word in French. To the modern English reader, the word ‘terrible’ would bring to mind something negative and make you think “He was charming but capable of being a monster”. Meanwhile the word ‘terrible’ in French, while being very similar (since it’s the exact same word), would translate more as ‘fearsome’. So, “Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of being fearsome.” I don’t know, it just sounds better to me and brings out more of what Hugo meant.

I’m not saying that most translations are wrong, because they’re not. Both words do mean the same thing. But an English reader and a French reader might interpret the sentence slightly differently and it fascinates me.

l'archange de le terreur et apollon

[coovieilledentelle]

Quand on aime quelqu’un, on ne l’aime pas tout le temps, exactement de la même manière, à chaque instant. C’est impossible. C’est même un mensonge de prétendre l’être. Et pourtant, c’est exactement ce que la plupart d’entre nous exigeons. Nous avons si peu confiance dans le flux et le reflux de la vie, de l’amour, des relations. Nous nous laissons porter par la marée et résistons avec terreur à son reflux. Nous avons peur qu’il ne revienne jamais. Nous insistons sur la permanence, sur la durée, sur la continuité, alors que la seule continuité possible, dans la vie comme dans l’amour, réside dans la croissance, dans la fluidité – dans la liberté.
