I missed the crochet pattern last year, semi considering making one (and possibly crocheting flames on the goat) this year.

For the folks who crochet you can find the free pattern here!

I’ve never read the stranger and I’m so curious about the Marie thing because I honestly don’t hear much about the two’s relationship outside of Meursault liking boobs.

RIGHT i was kind of curious because what i knew from friends going into the book was really kind of. the boobs? while it feels like limbus fans have always been REALLY excited about her in the way we were about other "love interest" characters (queequeg who was obviously going to be one of the most important characters in c5, being so defining of ishmael and of the homosexual subtext in moby-dick, and catherine whom we knew since release was at the crux of heathcliff's story as she is in wh) to the point i see her added to so many ship charts as an otp for meursault, so i was wondering if she really had such a cool and interesting dynamic that everyone was looking forward to it so much despite there having been no hint at her even existing. granted i'm excited at the thought of penelope since odypen is an incredibly important part to the odyssey (despite being. very aware there's no way we're getting a canon lesbian marriage 😭) even if nothing has hinted at her either...

so now i finished it and YEAH basically. to spoil an 80 year old novel- yeah the extent to their relationship is that they go to the movies, they go swimming together and they have sex. there is some stray moments where meursault shows a slight interest in her as a person (like wanting to know where she's going when she says she's busy, but then not thinking about asking her, i thought that bit was kind of endearing) and by the end when he's in prison he associates the thought of her to that of freedom, but beside that... 🤷‍♂️? there is no actual "dynamic" the way i expected from seeing people talking about limbus meursault's potential relationship with her.

THE metaphorical level of their relationship is INTERESTING- while i haven't done readings about it yet, i do think basically every character in the book is readable as representing a type of institution and the absurdity and corruption of it, so marie represents a very bleak (but realistic!) look on the institution of marriage and of romantic love at all. meursault has moments where he thinks/learns about a couple other relationships, that of his neighbour salamano with his late wife, and of his mom with her "boyfriend" at the hospice. in both cases the concept that is observed is that humans like to have a companion, especially as they grow older and weaker. salamano didn't care much for his wife, but when she died he felt lonely, so he got a dog instead. similarly, meursault never knew his father, but put his mom in the hospice when he realized they didn't have anything to tell each other- she resented him, but there she made friends and became close with a man. it's a thing all about convenience, in a sense. the relationship with marie too is framed in this context: meursault enjoys spending time with her and enjoys the sex, but anything else isn't relevant to him. his life is defined by the physical experience, the rest is... well, not serious!

as for marie herself, i think she's... and you'll forgive me for being dismissive of a female character-- vapid? i feel like that's the most accurate word sdtgyhufjdkg. it's not her fault, we see her through meursault's eyes, which means her interiority is kind of limited, but i think that is the idea. she is nice, she likes swimming, she smiles a lot, she is vaguely bothered by meursault's behavior and the fact he doesn't really love her or consider her special, but not enough to leave him. i think that too is supposed to be commentary on how love and marriage is something sought after out of a need and convenience more than anything sentimental, because it is considered the way one (especially a woman!) must lead a normal life.

so at the end: i'm genuinely not sure where this idea of marie as one of the "love interest" characters is coming from... but! i'm incredibly curious to see how canto 10 adapts the concepts she's tied to. considering the city doesn't really have like... well i guess the entire patriarchal structure of Marriage And Kids -and in fact we know canonically for some people (like fixers) it's widely considered a bad idea- i am really thinking they might not make her a character at all, unless there's some stuff specific to n corp. that meursault is going to explore. even if they adapted her, her role, like in the book, should be to reflect on meursault's indifference to life, his struggle to connect with the world, because that world IS weird and disconnected, much like he is. a good marie should reflect that as well i think.

on a sillier note. well. very obvious what my ultimate dealbreaker was:

[submarinerwrites]

idk man i dont really wanna pay upwards of ten dollars for a pattern people say is poorly written and wasn’t test-knit in my size lmao

[finelythreadedsky]

I wouldn't mind even translating the activity books for kids, honestly djckskkckskd.

Flora's guide to their obscure german literature muses

Mo Folchart

the best dad™

he's a "Silvertongue", meaning that when he reads it really captivates the audience & he can even read characters out of their story

the catch of that ability is that for the sake of balance for every character he reads out, some other living soul disappears into the book

ofc he understands that particular part in the most traumatic way: one night he reads to his wife Resa & their little daughter Meggie from a book called "In.kheart" & accidentally some of the story's villains plus the firedancer D.ustfinger appear, while Resa gets trapped in the book

Mo raises Meggie on his own, trying to find a way to get Resa back

he's a bookbinder & later in the In.kworld takes the persona of the Robin-Hood-like bandit called Bluejay (yes, the man has RANGE)

loves old books more than his own life (relatable tbh)

plot ideas: very flexible in both fantasy & modern settings (since he lives in both even in canon), if you write a literature character he could also always read your character out of their world, if you're up for that kind of shenanigans (& a hell lot of trauma for both)

Will Reckless

canocially gets the nickname "the puppy" & I think that says a lot

angel baby with a hell lot of hidden anger

when Will was still a child their father disappeared through the mirror in his office & their older brother Jacob soon follows him (mainly to escape his own grief)

those events slowly but surely break his mother's heart, even though at least Jacob returns occasionally & eventually Will is left to take care of her, as her health declines

after her death, Will and his girlfriend live in the big N.YC appartment, until the events of the first book, that take them both in the world behind the mirror too

pretty much as soon as they sets foot in there, Will gets injured by goyl & due to a curse this wound starts to turn them into a goyl too

to literally everybody's surprise the stone his skin turns into is jade, the most sacred stone. there's a whole prophecy that the jade goyl is supposed to protect the king of the goyl, so Will is then hunted by literally everyone

also it's important that the stone skin is very much a metaphor for all the hidden emotions, especially the anger, finally breaking free (at least it is to me)

by book 3 Jacob managed to break the curse & Will is human again, but can still call the stone when he wants to, usually when they're angry or threatened

plot ideas: Will can appear both in fantasy settings & the modern world (either before the canon storyline or in between), I also have a detailed b.g3 au

Fox

the one who holds the brain cells in the group

born in the Mirrorworld, in the equivalent of France

as a child she saved a vixen from her violent older brothers & in gratitude the vixen left her a fox fur, that made her a shapeshifter & able to take on the shape of a vixen herself

they run away from home sooon afterwards & from then on they prefer the fur to their human form & don't use their birth name anymore

eventually she meets Jacob, Will's older brother & the two of them become an inseparable pair & travel around as renowned treasure hunters

lbr Jacob would already be dead without them & they both know it uwu

plot ideas: I could definitely throw her into other fantasy worlds easily & canonically she also travels through the mirror to our world once (& hates it), so that is always a possiblity too

Gideon de Villiers

my favourite "arrogant puke" <3

a time travel gene runs in the male line of Gideon's family for generations & he becomes the 11th out of 12 in the circle

one of his ancestors, the Count of St Germain, has founded a lodge that still controls the gene carriers & their time jumps

at 16 the time jumps start for Gideon, not long after his father's death & his mother & younger brother end up moving to France

the lodge is in London & since only they can prevent uncontrolled time jumps, Gideon has to stay behind, moving in with his uncle who's (conveniently) the grandmaster of the lodge

so he's basically trained from a young age (he started preparing even before 16) to be the lodge's weapon & it's instilled in him that he's the one who has to "sort out the mess again" (the time jumps are controlled by a machine called the chronograph & the first one was stolen by Gideon's predecessors who disappeared into the past with it, it's a long story i could go into more detail about if you ask)

he's not only trained in different fighting techniques (both with weapons & without), but also plays the violin & the piano (violin is his favourite tho)

Gideon started studying medicine & gained some independence when he moved into his own flat in Chelsea, but rarely has time for either (he says himself that he can most likely forget about passing the current semester)

his storyline is very much about breaking free & finally living his own life

plot ideas: due to time travelling, I could throw Gideon into any time period (canonically it's limited to points past the 1500s, when the first in the line lived, but for the sake of rp I can ignore that)

[hamletisintown]

mmmmh murderbot diaries does have a french edition... as usual i am torn b/w reading it in the og language and just reading it in french...

i kinda want to read it in english but also i think it's going to be WAY easier to just order the french edition at my local bookshop rather than like. Try to order it from the states or whatever. or find an ebook that doesn't require an app to be read.

SB: It says, Vettel has no more friends in the paddock. Is that true? KR: It is basically difficult to have friends inside Formula One, but we two are. We aren’t seeing each other as often as before because Seb moved a little further away, but I still would call him my friend in Formula One. I know him best of all. SB: He (Seb) is still being criticized for ignoring team-orders in Malaysia. How would you have acted, if the team told you to stay behind your slower teammate? KR: Always you journalists with your would-if-questions! Team-order is a part of Formula One. Sometimes you stick to it, sometimes it doesn’t make sense. Team-order can be that your engineer tells you to do this or that, but you wanted to do it the other way round. Then I won’t listen to my engineer and do what I want. SB: Just like Vettel. Afterwards he told honestly what he’s thinking about his teammate (Webber). How did you like that? KR: Seb has his opinion and he told it. He is honest and open. That’s a good thing, I like that. SB: How did Seb change because of his three titles?   KR: He didn’t change. Sure thing: He’s getting older and gets to know more about the sport. But apart from that, his personality didn’t change at all. He’s still a normal, funny and nice guy.

Giovanna Concept Art

Giovanna's concept art! Translation notes and image ids below the cut.

Translation Notes:

"Mineral Maniac" could also have been "Mineral Mania".

"Pre-game, fatigued" was a little ambiguous because the kanji at the end wasn't really a word, but the character had a potential meaning of "to become fatigued", so I just went with that.

"100% bedhead" was literally "all bedhead" or "complete bedhead."

All the sound effects were swapped out for more English-sounding ones. The "YAAAWN" was "Fwahh", the "SHING" was "PAAA", and the "Mnn" was "Naa".

"For the sake of research, the chosen dyes were applied..." was a little hard to parse and I feel like I might have missed some of the meaning. Literally it seemed something more like "for the good of research, the right/right-hand dyes were used on..."

"Boots from school for ease of mining" was also kind of weird, might have been saying something more like "cheap school mining boots [to be used for mining]"

The "Gal Who Studies the Playing Field" heading was literally something like "Game-Board Studying Guy [gender neutral]".

The "Gal Who Studies the Playing Field" heading and the same heading but with "Alternate" attached seem to kind of be swapped, but that was how it was on the original page, so I left it.

Image Id:

[id: Two pages of concept art from the Triangle Strategy artbook centered around Giovanna. The first page has a colored and uncolored version of her canon portrait, as well as a designer's note that reads, "The contrast between Giovanna's soft, fluffy design and the sharpness of the rock is really an appealing point of contrast, isn't it? (Rina Yoshiura)".

The second page has several drawings of Giovanna, most of which highlight her sleepiness or her messy outfit. She's labeled "Mineral Maniac", and her necklace has a note that reads, "The stone around her neck is the first one she ever found." She holds a shining gem with a "SHING…" sound effect. One sleepy drawing is labeled "Pre-game, fatigued". By her hair on another drawing is a note that says, "True color is blonde, messy parts are dyed sections." A note pointing to her lab coat reads, "For the sake of research, the chosen dyes are applied to the clothes and hair". She is noted to have large gloves and large boots as well as a pair of magnifying glasses with lenses that can be lifted and lowered. Another note explains that she "wears a lab coat over her underclothes". Next to a sleepy and disgruntled drawing there is some dialogue that reads, "Mnn… What a hassle… I'll just put off whatever I don't want to do". Another drawing of her yawning has the caption "Always sleeping" and "100% bedhead".

The second half of the page is labeled "Gal Who Studies the Playing Field (Geologist?)" and "Gal Who Studies the Playing Field (Geologist) Alternate". There is a drawing of a much more severe version of Giovanna with dark hair and a scholar's outfit. Some details are pointed out, including some suspenders on the back of the outfit and a small ice axe and case of mining accessories that she wears on her hip. There is also a caption that reads, "Uses the first gemstone she found on her own as a brooch." Another note points to her boots and reads, "Boots from school for ease of mining". An illustrator's note at the bottom of the page reads, "Using the uptight-looking young woman on the lower half as a springboard, she eventually became an eccentric character who's completely absorbed in researching stones and wears a lab coat over her underthings. The colorful paints on her clothes are pigments extracted from the stones. (Urushihara Tatsuaki) /end id]

kim dokja bets one million gold on his blorbo yoo joonghyuk. then feels bad that his blorbo is working so hard, and donates a measly 100 coins, which yoo joonghyuk immediately rejects. i nearly had an aneurysm.

like, look at this shit!!!!!!!!!

reading journey to the west rn I'm at chapter 11 and this book is all over the place and I'm comparing what I read to what osp says in the summary and I think she's using the Anthony yu translation? But I'm reading the Jenner translation and I HAVE to know

Is there a big difference between the two? Like major differences?
