So much has happened, I lost my teaching job to political technicalities, my dad injured his back so I've been helping him, I've gotten carpal tunnel which has kept me from being able to write, to draw, to play my video games, and even some days I feel like I can even function normally because holding my coffee cup hurts. I go back to my doctor this coming week, to see if surgery is needed or if physical therapy will help, my dad has two more rounds of help with his back then he will hopefully be back to work and there will be less stress in the house.

I hate I disappeared again, but it was as if everything happened at once in a colossal domino effect and I was afraid to ask what was next. I've been able to type some today and get things rolling on a few applications and check to see where else I can teach outside of my state. I am hoping since it's summer I can try to write again, it seems typing does help the stiffness in my fingers, but I have to take breaks or my wrists begin to seize up. I'm on for a bit, then I'm going to go figure out how to sort my bedroom, I've been overhauling it and sorting through clothes to make room so I don't feel so closed in, because it looks like I'm stuck living with my parents for awhile, again.

I cannot remember what I had written with others, I'm happy to start over if anyone wants to, just tag me in something, or let me know and I can see what I can write, I do have a few starters floating around still that weren't answered if you want to use those for something.

// Self Promo, I kind of neglected Jaskier for a bit because of class. But I���m wanting to get him back up and running because I really really loved playing him. I dunno if anyone would want to write with him again, there’s a few starters over there and some ask prompts if you want to just wing something.

“Shut Up, Bard,”

New Jaskier/Dandelion independent roleplay. Currently only Netflix canon up to end of season 2. Willing to branch into the games canon. Will RP with oc’s and any verses. 18+ only please. Writer is also 18+.

My Odd OOC Musings

We've been stuck in ice and snow for a week, I've not been to work and the internet has been off. I went from overworked, wanting to pull my hair out or just sleep when not teaching, to just sitting here and yelling at the internet to work.

It's finally back to some sort of normal where I can get pages to load. I've been watching the Marie Antoinette series from the Ovation who did Versailles, Louis XVI makes me want to shake him and go "SLEEP WITH YOUR WIFE!" I wonder if Louis XIV's ghost is just screaming from somewhere at him as well, and Philippe cackling. Many don't realize despite being Austrian, Marie Antoinette was Philippe's great granddaughter, through he and Lislotte's daughter. It gave me this idea of what if the previous royals were all secretly immortal? And Philippe and Louis XIV could find ways to guide the two unfortunate royals. I honestly don't think they would have had patience with them with how France was at the time. This is my history brain going to work honestly.

I'll be on Philippe for a bit tonight, if anyone wants to write or send a ask game or you have an idea. I'm off tomorrow as well, again. I'm getting tired of these four walls, but thankfully now my internet likes me again.

Me as a Person: Philippe de Orleans was fashion forward, intelligent, knew peoples royal pedigrees back to the age of William the Conqueror, and wore loud floral perfume.

Me as a History teacher to teenagers: So this is Louis XIV's younger brother, he was gay, wore dresses, told his brother he'd stop being gay when Louis stopped sleeping with all the women at court then sashay'd away.

My Students: YAAASS HE WAS GIRL BOSS!

....who let me teach teenagers who now want to make a giant poster of Monsieur with"gatekeep, girl boss" or something or another?

So about four days before the school year started, I got my "big history teacher job" with my own classroom and my own students and my own everything. That is where I've been, teaching and coming home and just sort of collapsing into the sweet sweet arms of sleep. I had no intention of disappearing like I did, that job just jumped at me and I've hit the ground running every since.

Today is a chill day so I was able to hop on and finally tell you guys where I've been. I've had several students say I'm their favorite teacher, they have accidentally gotten babbled to about Philippe.

MY MOTHER GOT ME A CAMEO OF ALEXANDER VLAHOS CONGRATULATING ME ON MY JOB. So hearing VlaVla say my name, and be genuinely excited for me, and then speak french as Philippe, well lets just say my life was made.

I'm planning on being back on here. I get an hour for lunch and I can do whatever I wish, I'm usually in my classroom eating and on the computer anyway. I've also figured out my sleep schedule and not so tired that I just sleep. I'm an overachiever and get all my paperwork and grades done at school, so I don't bring it home in the afternoons and my weekends aren't spent freaking out over work.

But yes, I'll be about today, seeing what all I've missed and replying to the few that aren't too far back. If you want to continue our plot please let me know! I'm always willing to continue any of them, I just never know if my writing partner is still interested.

EXCUSE YOU NETFLIX BUT GIVE ME BACK SEASON 1 AND 2 OF VERSAILLES

[leducdeorleans]

I had unexpected family trouble, then this week has been insane with two funerals and two graduations to attend. I’m back though and going to work on replies and other things. I hated having to dive out but goodness, I got hit with a brick wall of one tragedy after another. 

I also had a notification that said Philippe’s blog is now 3 years old. Wow. I didn’t think it had been that long!

[leducdeorleans]

I am home tonight, hiding in my room from my dad, who is honestly, becoming not one of my favorite people. I’ll be on Philippe and Jaskier if anyone wishes to plot or reply to either of their starters that’s floating about on here. I may dig up an ask game for them while I’m finding something to watch or listen to to block out the world. 

[leducdeorleans]

I am officially a history teacher! It caused me to go MIA on here for awhile while I did my internship, because honestly all I had time for was lesson plans and my certification test, studying for said test, and making sure I had everything turned in when it needed to be. 

But, I am finally done and I am currently substitute teaching until I find a job in the Fall. It gives me more time to myself and with my laptop with me, I plan to revive Monsieur, I miss him and I miss writing when I have so many ideas floating about my head again. 

I apologise profusely to you guys for my absence, that internship was time consuming but worth it in the end to see that diploma and my teaching certification in the mail! 

[leducdeorleans]

So I graduate December 3rd and I’m finally able to breathe with everything turned in except a final. I apologize profusely for being inactive, I’d want to get on Philippe so badly but then get distracted making lesson plans and other things for my internship, I’ll have more time to myself now and will throwing Philippe out more, if you wish to plot or continue one let me know pretty please because my brain is dumb

[leducdeorleans]

I’ve been sick, I think I ate something bad and it kind of knocked me on my ass for a few days. I’m going to try to be on tonight at least and get stuff done. 

[leducdeorleans]

Rewatching Versailles with mom and I forgot Louis just yeeted himself off a cliff in the third season and left Bontemps yelling on the cliff.

This is why Bontemps has trust issues Louis, look at him, you fucked up a perfectly good human being Louis, look at him he has anxiety now. The one man who keeps France from being set on fire and you gave him anxiety because of your god complex. Also FUCK the Maintenon IN PARTICULAR. Damn bitch.

OOC Post:

Watching Lion King while sipping ginger ale and just….AU where Philippe is like Scar. Sassy, evil gay uncle intimidating the Dauphine. Hey go play in enemy territory. Oh but don’t…but do.

In other news, found out my dad was sick, and I might have got whatever this is from him. I’m hoping I feel well enough to get on later laptop wise. My want to write has been there but I’ve felt like shit and couldn’t get anything out of me.

[leducdeorleans]

Restarted Versailles from the beginning. I forgot Louis at the beginning being scared and asking for Philippe, and Philippe being like “you’re the king you do what you want” while Louis is crying and scared. They argued and were at odds but I dunno, I loved that little bit of “I’m confused and scared I want my little brother” moment.

I guess they grew up only having each other, I mean as children the Fronde raining down on kids regardless of both being Royal where one was ripped from the other at a moments notice was awful. Especially with Louis ferried away, I think Philippe was hidden in a chest once to get out of Paris. You rely on each other when times were uncertain. I didn’t know the show put that in, even if it was that subtle and Louis flipped back to his usual bratty self after.

OOC: if I see the manscaped ad one more time I’m gonna come unhinged. I’ve said seen it too much, blocked the ad everything. Please go away for the love of all things holy

[leducdeorleans]

And my papers are DONE, assignments turned IN. Go back to school they said, it’ll be fun they said. I also had some stuff go down this past week that kind of messed with me mentally, between burn out and classes, it was the cherry on top of stress Kay out time. But I’m good now. I’ve thrown starters out for Monsieur, and a few asks, I’m gonna go into my drafts and reply to things that got sat aside when my finals picked up. I am so sorry I’ve been so spotty with activity. These last few semesters of university are just busy and I’ll think it’s good then get hit with another wave of due dates. I’m taking the summer off though, thank goodness.
