Mechs Dolls Raffle

Over the last few weeks, I ended up making another set of Mechanisms dolls. They're each about four inches tall or less, squishy, and made with love. I'm raffling them off, since I don't need another Mechs crew on my desk, and I thought it'd be fun.

The form will be open until the end of the day on June 3. It's free to enter, and I am accepting international addresses. I'll throw some pictures of the dolls under the cut. If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Have fun, and good luck!

The key to the whole thing was trust. Armand trusting Louis and Lestat to speak for him. Trusting Daniel (and only him: Daniel had been very firm on this in their texts) to touch him when he couldn’t move a single muscle of his body. Trusting these men whom he loved—and this new friend he was only just coming to know—to act for him. Speak his words with their tongues, carry out his deeds with their hands.

This is it! The final chapter! Time for the Marius Killing Fic to finally live up to its name. 🔪🔪🔪 Hope you enjoy the end.

Another thing I love about the Les Mis musical (which I'm curious if they have in the French) is the hanging rhymes.

At certain points in the musical, the rhyme scheme and music make you feel like there should be a word that will rhyme with another, particular line. Instead of resolving it, though, it just...hangs. It never gets the satisfying resolution you want. And they use this so well, especially in Valjean's Soliloquy (which makes sense, as he is a character that does feel perpetually "unresolved"--always on the run, unable to rest).

First, there's a line early in the song:

My life he claims for God above--

Can such things be?

Now, technically, this line does have a rhyme, in the stanza before, but the music makes you forget about it:

Yet why did I allow that man

To touch my soul and teach me love?

He treated me like any other;

He gave me his trust! He called me brother!

By reverting to a couplet here, instead of keeping an alternating rhyme scheme, it makes the stanza feel complete. By the time you start the next phrase ("My life he claims for God above"), which is furthermore on a rising part of the melody, you kind of assume that it will get another resolution in its own stanza. But it doesn't! Instead we hear:

For I had come to hate the world;

This world that always hated me!

Our ears are primed to hear the word love again, or at the very least the word above reminds us of it--but instead we get two instances of the word hate! Valjean had hoped for love, but instead, hatred was all he was met with; the same thing shows up in the literal construction of the song!

There's another instance of a hanging rhyme at the end of his Soliloquy, which is probably the perfect example of how to use these well. His penultimate stanza is:

I am reaching, but I fall

And the night is closing in,

As I stare into the void

To the whirlpool of my sin;

This establishes an ABCB rhyme scheme: lines 2 and 4 rhyme. We expect the last stanza to follow this:

I'll escape now from that world,

From the world of Jean Valjean!

Jean Valjean is nothing now--

Another story must begin!

Yet here, line 2 does not rhyme with line 4! The word "Valjean" doesn't get a rhyme--it's left hanging, because "Jean Valjean is nothing now"! That name no longer defines the course of Valjean's story!

But what does define it? What does the final line rhyme with?

"My sin."

Even with his new life, Valjean won't be able to leave that behind.

What excellent wordsmithing!
