“Why are you complaining? I’m doing what’s best for you.” Mr. Spider/Martin maybe? oo8w8oo

"Please don't," Martin begs.

Every delightful bite of the spider creature puts a new spider under his skin. "It's for your own good. The Lonely will no longer touch you."

This is terrifying, just as Peter was. But unlike the Lonely, this comes with some elation as well. Martin has a goal, something to do. Now he has spiders in his blood. Friends. Pets. Children. Lovers - he didn't want to think this, but they feel so good.

Jon will hate this, he thinks. Well, Martin had lost every hope of seeing him again, and this is not worse.

perlumi-delirium replied to your post “kingedmundsroyalmurder replied to your photo: ...”

That's definitely a valid reason why Toilers of the Sea only has like three characters, two of them being A Boat and An Octopus. (also it allowed Hugo to make A Man Fight An Octopus, which is An Aesthetic.)

He gets to fight the octopus inside a SEXY DEATH CAVE that looks like a SKULL and SMELLS LIKE A NAKED WOMAN for SOME REASON!  *extremely* aesthetic! Also, ewwww. XD

Hi Foo pls tell your dogs I love them. I went through your doggos tag and honestly??? Best idea I had tonight. Now I have the biggest smile on my face and it won't go away. So if you ever hesitate to post a pic of your dogs, please know that yes, I definitely want to see it. (and i'm sure i'm not the only one) Gimme all the dogs pics. I love them.

AAAAAAAAA I’m so sorry I forgot to answer this!! ;A; I was going to reply with a flood of puppy pics but they were stored on a different computer so I saved this as a draft and then forgot everything forever. Time to fix this travesty! Let’s start off with this goofy happy Eve series (also featuring a blurry Foodad in the background!):

I’ll make a couple more posts and tag you in them so this one won’t turn insufferably long :D The puppy pics I promised are on the way!

(I managed to find wifi to send you this asdghkl dont mind me) i FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHY TNP GIVES ME SARAH KANE VIBES or at least i found a ~connection~ : in ch.20 you say the poem hollow men reminds kryptos of Bill. T S Eliot is one of Kane's biggest inspiration. Dude im shook. Sorry its got mostly nothing to dowith you bc im the one who connects the dots between tnp and kane but if you know ts eliot it might explain stuff (happy birthday to tnp btw, youre awesome, see you in a week, perl out)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)...( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)...( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉)!! It’s all finally coming together.TNP has a few more TS Elliot references coming up because his work is otherworldly and dreamy and just fits. TNP also very Time-centered and he’s got some great words on Time.

Hi!! I just wanted to thank you for making the Magnus titles series!! It's a great project, and your drawings never fail to amaze me! They're simple, yet there are so many things that can be said about them, and you convey every episode's theme perfectly :) I'm really glad a friend told me of your blog :D Keep up the good work!!

Aww, thanks! Gosh, this is a lovely response, and I’m so incredibly flattered by it!

I’m glad you find they fit the episodical themes, and I’ll certainly continue doing these until they’re done.

Hey, for the femslash february meme, could you give your opinion about the femslashy possibilities in Kasane? :D I'm talking Kasane/Nina, Kasane/Nogiku, Nogiku/Iku, Kasane/Iku and whatever else you can think of, if you want!!

1) Kasane/Nogiku: The emotional relationship that shapes the manga... well, not only but still the center to me. And when Kasane thought she could have a friend! It was so heartbreaking, when we know the truth, and later she knew, and... haaaa! It becomes more twisted and more subject to dark shipping.

2) Kasane/Iku: And here Kasane had a friend but never noticed it. I adore their relationship too, maybe too healthy to be shipped?

3) Kasane/Nina: I mean, Nina mockingly jokes about it. It’s creepy but it works.

5) Nogiku/Nina: This spoiler scene. You know. It was horribly sad but still, there was a connection

5) Nogiku/Iku: Not my thing, but good for people who love it!

Hello! I was wondering if you might be able to give me your thoughts on Montparnasse? Its been 15+ years since i've read the brick, so I'm a bit spotty. I know fanon likes to turn him into a 'morally ambiguous but good underneath' type character, and I've read theories on him and Eponine's relationship in canon, but what do you think? Do you think he's canonically morally ambiguous (as opposed to straight-up Murderer), or even just is possibly redeemable?

Hi!:D

I’m going to put this under a cut for discussion of abuse, violence, and all those other cheery things that Les Mis has so much of! 

(and standard Disclaimers that this is just My Take on Montparnasse in the original text, and not meant to be some sort of marching order for How To Fandom about him)

While I think probably everyone in Les Mis (except maybe Thenardier) has to be considered potentially  redeemable as part of the novel’s whole central message, we’re given no indicator that Montparnasse is pointed in that direction–exactly the opposite. He has some good qualities–he’s genuinely loyal to the men (the men  part of this should probably be emphasized) who he considers comrades, and he’s clever enough , with skills he could  put to some use besides theft and murder. 

But he is  a murderer, with a long line of corpses already behind him.  His ‘romance’ with Eponine is established via his association with her horrifyingly abusive father, and is marked by Montparnasse himself threatening her with violence and bragging about how willingly he’d kill her, when even other members of the Patron Minette don’t want to.   

As they went, Montparnasse muttered:–“Never mind! if they had wanted, I’d have cut her throat.”Babet responded “I wouldn’t. I don’t hit a lady." 4.8.4

Gavroche sasses him with apparent confidence–but Gavroche banters with cannons and armies trying to kill him. We see in the attempted robbery of Valjean that Gavroche is certain that Montparnasse would never spare a life on his account, and would kill him if he interfered with the murders he doesn’t want to see: 

Montparnasse on the hunt at such an hour, in such a place, betokened something threatening. Gavroche felt his gamin’s heart moved with compassion for the old man.

What was he to do? Interfere? One weakness coming to the aid of another! It would be merely a laughing matter for Montparnasse. Gavroche did not shut his eyes to the fact that the old man, in the first place, and the child in the second, would make but two mouthfuls for that redoubtable ruffian eighteen years of age. (4.4.2)

While Gavroche was deliberating, the attack took place, abruptly and hideously. The attack of the tiger on the wild ass, the attack of the spider on the fly. Montparnasse suddenly tossed away his rose, bounded upon the old man, seized him by the collar, grasped and clung to him, and Gavroche with difficulty restrained a scream. A moment later one of these men was underneath the other, groaning, struggling, with a knee of marble upon his breast. Only, it was not just what Gavroche had expected. The one who lay on the earth was Montparnasse; the one who was on top was the old man. All this took place a few paces distant from Gavroche.

Gavroche almost screams  at the work Montparnasse does, and has to force himself to keep silent to keep safe.  Gavroche deals with Montparnasse casually, because that’s part of his world, murder and abuse are just in his environment-but he hates it, and he doesn’t feel safe with Montparnasse.  Again: Montparnasse is loyal to men  he considers comrades; women and children, less so. And this isn’t a book that thinks particularly well of men who aren’t kind to women and children.

I think Montparnasse is a bit of a tragic character in that he represents a failing of society; he’s so young--it’s likely that most of his crimes were committed before he would be legally considered an adult by most modern standards-- and already his life is blighted by genuinely horrible crimes that have caused real human loss, and his course is pretty much set for the gallows. He’s done this in pursuit of a specific social ideal–to have the kind of lifestyle that marks an idle rich gentleman– and in that sense he is perhaps a comment on the warped roles that society glamorizes and holds up for emulation. There’s perhaps a sense of him being the inevitable end result of a society that’s glorifying exploitation and cruelty, of him being someone mutated by the fallout of the same energy that helps people like Tholomyes grow powerful.

But however Montparnasse got where he is, and whatever he reflects about society, in his present state he’s murderously awful and, importantly, content to be so.  It’s as close to his dream job as he can get. Valjean’s attempt to Myrielize with him fails entirely. As prudencepaccard discusses, Hugo describes Montparnasse as almost supernaturally horrifying--like a vampire, like a zombie, a spiritless monster that exists only to prey on the living even while he technically is  one of the living. Whatever good may still be in Montparnasse, whatever salvation is possible for him, it needs not just  rescue but a resurrection.  

So I guess that’s my thoughts on Montparnasse!

...oh also in case you’re wondering if you’ve forgotten something from the book: no, he and the Amis never interact or show any signs of knowing each other aside from Courfeyrac giving Marius a general warning about Patron Minette. 

Some links and longer (sometimes much longer) discussions about Montparnasse and his context!

The Devil’s Dandy: some commentary on Montparnasse-as-Dandy by @prudencepaccard​ , who has definitely done the research on the topic, and a conversation with @edwarddespard​:

Montparnasse as a dark mirror for Marius, and how Hugo uses them both to discuss his concepts of Idleness-as-fatal-flaw

a conversation with @needsmoreresearch​  about the role the PM plays as actual assassins and agents of government oppression; more about the rest of the Patron Minette, but still relevant for context

*appears out of nowhere in a long red dress, a glass of fancy wine in hand* oh no... my review for chapter three... I dropped it... *looks dramatically at the fucking brick of a review then runs out of the stage crying (all of it while wearing high heels)* (anyway so hello yes it's me Perl, doing it again)

*cheers from the front seat* ENCORE ENCORE!!

The review in question.

Bill: Oh Stanford why didn't you run back then :3c ?Ford: Bill you had a gun pointed at me what did you want me to doBill: :3c

I’ve read it multiple times. I can’t get over how things have changed between Bill and Ford, with both of them sort of dropping their masks. Your analysis really puts things into perspective at how far they’ve come.

It also makes Ford look incredibly shady. Like, on the superficial level, Ford’s ‘gentle’ treatment of Bill and his whole ‘I’m going to fix Bill using my methods’ looks more and more like he’s doing it with undertones of vengeance.

He’s been at Bill’s mercy quite a few times and now Bill is at his and he seems intent on enjoying it.

But that’s...superficial level. He does mean well, but I do think there’s a part of him enjoying the power trip.
