#My poor hands

[halfspunthreads-blog]

Me, six months ago: I bet I could learn lacemaking. I'm a pretty good knitter. There are lots of fun patterns online and it'll help use up the bits and bobs from my stash as I declutter.

Me, now: You FOOL. You ABSOLUTE BUFFOON. *buying more skeins and beads to feed the new addiction*

Is Your Heroine a TRUE Heroine?

In the first chapter of Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen lays out all the criteria of being a HEROINE, almost all of which poor Catherine Morland does not meet. I have adapted these criteria into a simple yes or no test, which you can apply to your favourite heroine. Here is the test and the results for some Jane Austen, Brontë, and Gaskell heroines/female characters

Abusive parent/guardian - 1 point for each abusive parent or guardian, Dead parents - 1 point for each dead parent, and then 1 point for each of the following: Great Personal Beauty, Poor family, Heroic care of animals/nature, Taste for gardens, Extraordinarily intelligent, Plays music/sings, Draws/does art, Focused on schooling, Calm and quiet, Reads poetry

There are 12 criteria, though the possible score can be higher (for example, if you have lost a mother, father, and stepmother, that would count as 3 dead parents)

Jane Eyre, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Heroine Score: 11

Helen Graham, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë  Heroine Score: 10

Jane Fairfax, Emma by Jane Austen, Heroine Score: 9

Agnes Grey, Agnes Grey by Anne Brontëm, Heroine Score: 9

Anne Elliot, Persuasion by Jane Austen,  Heroine Score: 8

Mary Crawford, Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, Heroine Score: 8

Molly Gibson, Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell and Fanny Price of Mansfield Park by Jane Austen Heroine Score: 7

Heroine Score: 6, Emma Woodhouse of Emma, Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility, Elinor Tilney of Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, and Cynthia Kirkpatrick, Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell

And then with Heroine Scores of 5 or less, we have Elinor Dashwood (5) of Sense and Sensibility, Catherine Morland (2) of Northanger Abbey and Jane & Elizabeth Bennet (2) of Pride and Prejudice

Example Data:

Disclaimer: you must use your own judgement for some answers. For example, does Anne Elliot count as poor since her father is heavily in debt? Also, some data is not readily available, we don’t know if Elizabeth Bennet reads poetry or not (my guess is no).These are my best estimates given the available data in each novel. Also, Jane Eyre is generally calm and quiet, she just has explosions sometimes, so I gave her that point.

Please add ratings of your own heroines if you want! I haven’t read Wuthering Heights so I can’t do the heroine scores.

19 classes 😱 so many! All the best trying to fit in breaks between marking so you don’t end up with rsi or something >_<

Yes, for other subjects the teachers see their classes few hours per week so they have around 3-4 different classes max...but since I see mines only one a week, well, I have basically almost the full school xDD 

I try to correct two classes every 2 days but it’s super repetitive and long so my wrist hurts at the end (TToTT)

And when I’ll be done, it will be the turn of the semester reports OTL OTL

I FINALLY FINISHED IT Y’ALL!!!!! Lemme introduce you to my character Forrest Oliver Wolff. Yes he is trans and bi, like me. ✨ Anyway, he is my moon knight oc, avatar of Osiris. I just.. I just love him okay. He is soft and cuddly and I just wanna give him hugs. Also I’m so proud of this because it took AGES. This is my first fully rendered piece like this with a background and everything!! I’m so proudddd <33 Also there are a few little details in the piece, like how Forrest is listening to Phoebe Bridgers (the specific song is Kyoto, because I accidentally clicked on it while making this and thought “hey I haven’t heard this in ages”). Also the fact that he has a cedar scented stick deodorant hehe.

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken
