At which point did you realise that the plot of IW is ass? I've seen people complain only about the ending or the halfway point where the teams separate, while I was already actively rolling my eyes like four-five chapters in

i think the moment i fully accepted that IW's story was. Definitely A Story was the moment ebina announced 'bleach japan'. like i think leading up to that point i was thinking to myself 'oh i hope i see X happen' or being like 'i wonder where this is going' and that sort but the proverbial bucket of ice was definitely that moment

my official rotb review:

okay

[helianskies]

After reading Bitter Teeth and knowing you speak Italian, are there scenarios and stories you'd still like to explore having Italy as your background? And what are you favorite Italian historical periods to play with?

holy moly, months later she's finally decided to give you some sort of answer to a very interesting ask! :'0

i'm sorry i'm on my knees i'm grovelling cake i'm so sorry

i'll be honest, i love italy, i love italian, i love italians, and i would love to use it as a setting more often if it suits a fic - in a heartbeat. having been to a fair few areas now (Puglia you're next on my list bby i promise) there are such beautiful places i would love to use as backdrops, even for short works. a little romantic trip to Verona, a wet weekend in Venice, a sea swim in the marina in Naples across the bay from Vesuvius...

i think it helps with writing when you've been somewhere and can weave in personal experiences or even memories. i'd like to do it more in general, though i find my mind is not programmed easily for fluffy encounters haha. but i have fond memories of italy and i'd love to use them more as inspiration.

(what i'm trying to say is i suffered climbing up Vesuvius after a morning spent walking Herculaneum and i want someone - toni, south italy, whoever! - to feel my pain!)

anywho. as for historical periods... i dunno. as a student i only ever studied Risorgimento onwards, and very politically-based. i think the Renascimento in Florence would be interesting. i really loved visiting Davide and Venere haha (my duomo experience on the other hand...). and i'd love to learn more of Venice as a kingdom. Roman Italy i guess is a must, though i've already dabbled. otherwise, i'm not too sure....

though, when in Rome... i could send toni to walk around the Colosseum and Roman Forum omgggg... let him walk around and have his thoughts... a lil' character study...

i am never getting over leaving the Colosseum and finding a public water dispenser with sparkling water.......

OH THE TEMPLES! there were temples in the Forum! there's the Tempio di Antonino (e Faustina, ahem) and the Tempio di Romolo just across the way! i remember my mind working overtime with that nugget. the romespa was stalking me tirelessly on that part of my trip. and i'm yet to be cured!

anyways i hope that has in some way answered your question(?). i've not put much thought into the italies as characters themselves - i don't feel the same kind of draw to them that i feel with toni - but it would be curious to. i'd love to do more research into Venice during the times of the Ottoman Empire, in its sort of golden era. i'm sure i've seen a documentary or two, and i may even have a book... hmmm...

so many little threads to follow and not enough hours in the day, sadly, to do so :')

thank you for sending in the ask, it gave me an excuse to look back on some much loved holiday pics haha (and sorry again for taking my sweet time responding!) :)

random weird observation, but how did JoAnn become, like, the darling of yarntok/crafty influencer tok. Like, Michaels who. It's all about getting your craft supplies at JoAnn. is it because everyone "wants" to be a sewist, and even if you don't sew, if you get your craft supplies from JoAnn, you sort of have that. added proximity..

EVERY POST-SEINE LES MIS FIC BE LIKE

This meme also works if you replace the "Javert" label with "Me" and make the caption "reading/watching Les Mis be like"

Jean Valjean sees a river and immediately begins wondering if there is a way he can help someone by throwing himself into a river because HIS JESUS-LIKE SELF-SACRIFICE IS ACTUALLY UNNECESSARY AND BULLSHIT THE MAN IS JUST SUICIDAL AND LIKE. CATHOLIC. But also I get how the story works better if Jean dies because that is the point of classism and that is what the book is about but also if you aren't religious it is a much much sadder story and fuck you Victor

This is in no way a diss to post-Seine fics - they are like, one of my favorite things, and if Jean didn't try to sacrifice himself unnecessarily, it would frankly be out-of-character. The best ones are when he learns to stop doing that as much.

JUST LET MY INSANE OLD MAN BE HAPPY HE HAS EARNED IT FUCK YOUR THEMATIC STRUCTURE MAKE THE OLD MEN KISS MAKE THEM BRUSH HANDS HOMOEROTICALLY MAKE THEM GO THROUGH SIMULTANEOUS COMPLEMENTARY JOURNEYS IN WHICH THEY BOTH LEARN ABOUT THEIR INHERENT LOVEABILITY AND SUCK EACH OTHER'S COCKS I WILL FIGHT GOD AND WEAR HIS TEETH ON A NECKLACE

Image description: a meme in three panels depicting a popular short viral video in which a little boy yells that he has a knife and then runs from his mother with a shit-eating grin while she screams "NO!!!!", except the people in the video are labeled and the captions have been changed.

In the first panel a little boy is running around an in-ground pool. He is labeled "Jean Valjean." The back of a woman's head is visible and is labeled "Javert." The woman says to the boy, "Let me see what you have!"

in the second panel, the little boy holds up a small object and says "SELF-SACRIFICE!"

in the third panel, the woman labeled Javert screams "NO!!!!" in bright red font. She is a blur as she moves to run after him. Blurry in the background, the little boy is running fast with a mischievous grin.
