25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud of

In the spirit of "Damn I really miss him," have a bit from Ambrose's book. It took forever to pick something because I just like so much of it.

Hi, Sydney. I’ve read a little bit of de Sade, mostly out of curiosity, so I figured I could try to provide some context? I’ve not read Aline and Valcour specifically, but I did do a little reading on it.

I’m always pretty strongly in favour of reading books people have tried to ban and have burned or otherwise censored personally, so Marquis de Sade was uh. On that list for sure. He was imprisoned for rather quite a lot of pretty horrific sex crimes (as well as the blasphemy and pornography), though? So. Yeah. I’m glad I read it to draw my own conclusions, but it does still leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. (I think he actually wrote Aline and Valcour while imprisoned about them?)

Basically, Aline and Valcour is a lot of things apparently, but a lot of that is sort of social commentary. It focuses on a cannibalistic, religious dystopia in opposition to a philosophical utopia (de Sade was pretty loudly atheistic. Which is… I don’t know. I think it’s an interesting insight, considering it was the 17/1800s.) The main characters are ‘virtuous people’ whose lives are disrupted by ‘turbulence, turpitude, evil schemes and incestuous designs’ being worked upon them. I’m assuming some form of corruption or downfall. Also a bit of abduction, apparently, that’s fun.

It’s supposedly quite a bit less… Graphic than some of his other work, but de Sade will still be de Sade. Father of Sadism, etc. Apparently it has some pretty interesting social commentary on the time and the characters are pretty in depth and nuanced. It doesn’t sound like a bad read, but I’m still unable to help but side-eye some of the themes. You know. In the context of de Sade being the person he was… All of the torture, assault and real life abduction.

Hopefully that’s helpful??? Doesn't seem wholly like your thing, but. Info. Yeah.

~@crimson--phantom

Oh!!! Oh my goodness. That's... Oh, that's a lot. Thank you for letting me know, Clara! ^^'

Yeah, um... I don't think it sounds like my thing. Of course, ah, reading literature from people with differing views is wise and can give you a lot of insight into the world/other people's minds but I don't think de Sade sounds like someone I'm comfortable doing that with, considering everything... you told me.

In general, the concept of taking virtuous people and corrupting them doesn't sound like anything I want to be reading ^^'

Thank you again for looking out for me! <3

I know I’m like…musing into the void here at the moment, but I’ve got all these thoughts and I need to put a few of them somewhere so-

Milady is def my new favorite of Eva’s characters, and MMMM even tho she doesn’t look like Meca this time around, (save for her Isabelle De Valcour Court disguise lol) the Vibes are impeccable. Esp for smth like ER Meca where it’s the situation of a woman who’s been deeply hurt by all the men and monsters around her, yet still resorting to doing their bidding while nipping at opportunities for revenge when they arise. ”My life has been their life. My death will be my death.”

Like…man…

New Squit :) look at him I love him he orng he was designed by my beloved friend TeaBiscuits! He's a sorcerer named Valcour but he thinks it makes him sound evil so he just goes by Val, he was made to fit into my other friend @dreameaterdiesel (Teabuscuit's partner and also on Toyhouse) cyberpunky setting so he's a modern boy. He's incredibly smart when it comes to being an engineer but so very stupid in every other aspect, LOVES Greco-Roman wrestling and just building things. Exclusively wears muscle shirts that have "Suns Out Guns Out" on them.

We are no guiltier in following the primitive impulses that govern us than is the Nile for her floods or the sea for her waves.

I forgot how funny my books are sometimes.

The current WIP isn't funny enough.
