We ARE going to bring up Captain Amelia. You have good taste! GOOD TASTE I SAY! *aka I just rewatched Treasure Planet and got hit with, "Oh yeahhhhh... that explains a lot!"*
honestly, the Meg/Jasmine/Amelia trifecta tells you 90% about me as a person. (the rest is covered by Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus and, uhhh, I'll stop baring my soul to the world now)
and speaking of Amelia, this is tangential, but like -- there's one Twst comic I have been kicking at for a while where I needed an RSA sports/flight teacher and, uh, well
someday I will wrangle this stupid comic into coherency and she'll get to make an appearance (in the background of a single panel, half-obscured by a tall hat) (but I will know she's there and that's the important thing)

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.
this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.
incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

SVSSS is a novel with a fandom.
[ID: A Scum Villain edit of the "missing the point" meme. A bullet arcs from velinxi art of child Shen Jiu kneeling while furiously glaring. The bullet says, "People are not entirely one thing or the other and holding them to these extremes ignores the complexities that come with their humanity." It arcs over the head of a person across from it, who ignores the bullet and exclaims: "Wow!! Shen Jiu's only crime was being mean and was wrongly hated!" End ID]

thinking about character colour theory again. like yeah "red is [ianto's] colour" and jack is most definitely blue and that's classic red/blue ship stuff right there but i disagree. yeah ianto looks great in red and wears it a lot but he also wears a lot of blue and purple and looks the best in purple imo so i'd solidly put him in purple character territory (and if that means that when i cosplay him people keep asking me if i'm purple guy or cecil palmer. so be it). but that means the red/blue coloured characters dynamic doesn't work, except! yes it does, john hart is right there in his red coat. so we have jack as blue, ianto as purple, and john as red. and guess fucking what.
bi flag colour picked from them lol
(does this mean john is fem and ianto is nonbinary? yes.)
also. i like to think of ianto as a very good balancer between john and jack. he's the only normal one (no he isn't but he's pretending to be which is something they desperately need lol) and i think he gets them both. he gets the wanting to save everyone (jack) and the not wanting to be left behind (john) and the loving someone so much even though you know it can't work and that person being jack specifically (john again) and the hey maybe you shouldn't murder people for fun john (jack). so that means he's right between them on the colour wheel. he's important to me okay
anyway. you get me. if you don't get me that's valid too
