"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

okay i want to talk about canto vi again. this line is one of my favorite- the reference to the same scene in the book is not only precise but it also catches an implication there always is in the book, that hindley calls his sister catherine in front of heathcliff to signal that is what he wants HIM to do. despite nelly's later claims that the two just didn't talk for Who Knows What Reason, they both remember why: it's hindley breaking the bond between the two by stressing the barrier of race and class, something he'll keep doing for the rest of his life.

in the book this scene is also reprised in the second half. i think everybody knows the canto blends together the two generations, and it's interesting how hindley's behavior often reflects book!heathcliff's in many instances, like in this one, where he does his best to make hareton feel ashamed of himself, by stressing on his role as a servant and lack of education and refinement compared to catherine, to the point of not speaking or even looking at her.

it's much of the same. like book!heathcliff, hindley is noted to be extremely proud of this little plan of his falling together.

BUT beside this the interaction that i think is very interesting in this same chapter is the one that follows, linton and catherine discussing hareton--

it's a terrible scene on all sides for hareton, but of the two catherine appears (as usual) as just being kind of a snobby sheltered girl, while linton has some real fun out of insulting someone who is "beneath" him, and he feels comfortable doing so because he's already seen his father do the same. going back to the first quote, it's interesting how hindley uses the laziness as an insult, as beside being racially charged, it's also referencing this scene and what book!linton says to hareton. it reinforces the fact that book!linton and book!heathcliff's dynamic is being reprised through linton and hindley:

it's probably linton's most noticeable character trait, straight from his namesake, that he is incredibly cruel but doesn't have the physical strength to act on it, instead having to rely on other people to do it in his stead.

it sources many other points of his character- much like in the book!linton, catherine, hareton dynamic, linton effectively offers nothing to catherine as a partner, with the only thing he could use to "win her over" being his degrading of another based on his presumed superiority, and in the end even his pursuit of catherine appears much less like "devotion" and more like his need to own yet another thing for his collection, one more trophy to show that he is worthy of his name and wealth.

this characterization is consistent, and he prizes the idea of this devotion that makes him superior to others, acting as if his love not being requited makes him a better man than heathcliff, and holding this devotion up as a shield to refuse taking the blame, trying hard to give the impression he was the one with no agency, even when he was completely aware catherine's mental health had completely deteriorated and she was a danger to herself and others

in the end hindley and linton are incredibly similar people- hindley uses violence to carry out the belief in his own superiority, and linton must use words, but they're both as cruel and self-centered as the characters they're based on

Perhaps a little bit inspired by my travels lately, I've been thinking about a flight attendant with a horrible, itchy, messy cold.

Personally I'm thinking about this in the so-called "golden age of flight" (late 1950s-1970s) because of the high standard of makeup and dress that flight attendants were subject to at that time, but many airlines still currently use that model so this also works perfectly well in the modern day!

Anyway, a flight attendant waking up the morning of a big flight (at least 6 hours long) with a completely blocked up nose and a sandpaper throat. They groan internally- whatever plague the man in first class on their last flight had has clearly infected them. Still, they get up and start to get ready- they won't get paid if they aren't on the flight, after all.

The pressure in their head shifts while they're in the shower, and a tickle grows in their nose. They sneeze frequently, and by the time they get out of the shower their nose is a dusty pink color. They're annoyed by this, but put makeup over it (trying to ignore how the brush irritates their nose and induces several more powerful sneezes). By the time they're dressed and ready to leave the house, they've managed to convince themselves that they'll be able to get through this flight just fine.

A few hours later, as the flight takes off and the change in pressure begins to give them a sinus headache and clogs their ears (symptoms they usually never have to deal with due to all their experience on airplanes), they begin to realize that this isn't going to be as easy as they thought. Still, they have a job to do, and they're going to do it to the best of their ability.

Flash forward to halfway through the flight, and they're not sure how much longer they can keep going. They've touched up their makeup multiple times, yet they can feel their nose becoming visibly chapped as it continues to run incessantly. Their sinus headache has reached almost unbearable levels, due in large part to the sheer number of sneezes they've been stifling and holding back. Finally, one of their coworkers tells them to go take a break, an order which they gratefully accept. They spend the next 10 minutes locked in one of the bathrooms, sneezing themselves silly (and pretending no one can hear them, even though they absolutely can). They then resolve to reapply their makeup, fix their hair and uniform (which are now decidedly askew) and muscle through the remainder of this flight.

Spoiler alert: that doesn't end well for them.

happy 2024! yearly ramble under the cut

this year I don't have many goals art-wise. I want to keep experimenting, do some more art for my friends, draw my OCs a bit more often, and maybe get a couple animations out of my head. I'll also open commissions when I'm feeling up to it. when my partner completes his degree, we'll continue work on our group project too :) Dream's End Come True has been out for almost two years now, and the love for it has not stopped, which is kind of incredible in terms of internet ephemerality. as of now it has over 100 pieces of fanart, and has been translated into five languages. thanks for reading!

2023 was a charcuterie board of about half the possible things I could have imagined happening in my early 20's, both positive and negative in equal and chaotic degree; but most importantly I met people I could not possibly imagine living without (love you all). I am not doing well, but by God I'm trying my best, and I hope the new year treats us all kindly.

here's my top-listened song this year, and a chart of a few things I liked this year as well, because it didn't fit with the formatting of the images above:

*through gritted teeth* sometimes. The way people go about their lives will clash with mine. And it will be harmless. And you have to be ok with that sometimes. You’ll learn to live with it. And if u can’t do that rn imagine grabbing them in a chokehold until it passes
