I'm infatuated with coriolanus BECAUSE he's a horrible person, not in spite of it. Its been so long since I read about an unapologetically horrible person and its refreshing to see in the fictional landscape. Its also fun in the realm of fiction to be coveted by someone willing to do anything or say anything or be anyone in order to get what he wants. It scratches an itch in my brain that im deeply embaressed to have and can't defend so I dont talk about it except as a joke.

Big fan of characters who “kill” their younger selves. Characters who resent the past version of themselves for letting them get hurt, who look at that kid and feel revolted by the foreignness of it. Characters who feel they have to cut the child out of them like a tumor because it’s hurting them too much and if I don’t kill you you’ll kill me. Nearly nothing remaining of that past self but for the little connections and mannerisms they can’t kick, and when it shines through, it’s a terrible, tragic thing, because the child is still in there. It’s in there and it’s grotesque in its suffocation. But it’s there.

a lot of iterations of marius pontmercy really don’t resonate with me. so many vacuous flanderizations of my pookie. book marius is actually so rad and there are so many things about him that i love sooo much that don’t come across at all in most interpretations of him that i see, esp with fanon.

like marius is deeply untethered. he has a screw loose. he has anxiety. he has daddy issues AND granddaddy issues. his daddy issues are actually why he gets so attached to bonapartism, and after listening to courfeyrac and the amis talk about politics and getting KO’d in the first round by combeferre when he tries to debate them he has an entire dark night of the soul surrounding his beliefs. he also has no friends other than bestie courfeyrac (adorable) and bestie mabeuf (old ass man, also adorable).

he’s also hella emo. he goes on hot girl walks in the middle of the night. he wears all black and sulks. his grandpa calls him a blood-drinker. when he finds out cosette is leaving he goes to the barricades hoping he’ll die. he even writes weird awesome prose about her in his lil diary likeeee im telling you marius pontmercy walked so pete wentz could run.

no but yeah he’s definitely just that milquetoast straight friend no one likes… just some loser… a total normie… okay…

One day I was listening to creepypasta and thought to myself "hey, this lil cryptid called "Creature" would be hella afraid of spooky stories himself"

2. I don't know what's the lore of it (yet), I just needed all the characters in one place to make the joke work lmao 3. Yes, I did the voiceover!! But if I was to create some lore, I'd say this: 1. Elisabeth's life didn't provide much action or/and opportunity so she leaned into mysticism and all sorts of scary stories. It contrasts much with her angelic appearance and mild demeanor, but hey, as Russian adage goes "devils dwell in still waters". 2. Given a chance to grow up, William turns into a little menace to society, a troublemaker, and (if lovable) pain in the ass. He's inquisitive, reckless, but unlike his elder brother not prone to melancholy. Which means 10000% energy, 100000% disaster lol

Victor Hugo writing Les Miserables is

"[insert name here], who isn't even a character we are following in this story but rather a character who a more important character will interact with in passing, sat next to a tree. Now, reader, I understand that you might be curious about the entire history of this specific tree and how one of its apples was once bitten into by a man who spoke to Napoleon three times in his life before being shot to death by an obscure historical figure I will namedrop exactly once. It is my obligation and honor as narrator to tell you exactly that history, and all of this will culminate in me making a throwaway remark about modern townspeople that feels like the world's cruelest punchline."

And every single time I'm like hell fucking yes tell me the history of this tree!!!!!!! L

I take my frustration out on Marius by-proxy when I settle down after a long day and the first thing I do is open google docs and write about that boy getting absolutely railed and defiled

My top 3 Henry Clerval headcanons: 1. He is a hardcore history nerd. ESPECIALLY medieval history. Would be LARPing through forests sword in both hands given the chance 2. He was (and still is, a bit) STRONGLY into knights, historicaly and romantically. As a tool to escape the dull reality of his life, he imagined himself a page to a mighty wondering swordsman.

3. He may be sweet and caring, but also quite menacing if wishes so.
