#Sometimes a great notion

Starving for contact and calling it poison when it is offered.

To know a thing you have to trust what you know, and all that you know, and as far as you know in whatever direction your knowing drags you.

Where whoever had hanged the arm from its pole had made certain that it was as much a gesture of grim and humorous defiance as the old house; where whoever had taken the trouble to swing the arm out into sight of the road had also taken trouble to tie down all the fingers but the middle finger, leaving that rigid and universal sentiment lifted with unmistakable scorn to all that came past.

part 2 of chapter one is almost done for this fic so lets celebrate with some headcanons!

• Eugene has introduced Leofric to the family once, and Leofric stuck around for a little while before going back to his duties as an Earl. He and Leofric still exchange letters to catch up from time to time

• Gavus fell in love first, but Eugene fell in love harder. I think this is practically canon, but I want to like establish this bc i like it

• Gavus is too paranoid to keep contact with the guy who spoke to him while he was imprisoned, but he hopes that guy is doing well.

• Eugene and Gavus enjoy dancing together, but Eugene enjoys flourishing and showing it off a little while Gavus just enjoys the act

• That being said, Eugene did try to teach Lucilla how to dance and it ended up with her accidentally learning how to dance badly on purpose instead. The session devolved from proper skill to “do you wanna know how to do a sprinkler?” “YES.”

• Gavus and Liberta watching, throwing out comments and Eugene doesn’t need commentary from the peanut gallery thank you

• Liberta attempted to bake Once. Only one time.

• He ended up somehow making molten cookies and he swears they’re edible but not too sure chief that sounds pretty inedible to me

• He’s not allowed to bake anymore (ironic considering he cooks, but cooking with supervision is not baking unsupervised)

• Lucilla ate the molten cookies, rather she ate one

• She could confirm they were inedible and she’s pretty sure she chipped a tooth somewhere in that cookie

• Gavus does the laundry but Eugene mends the clothes. because Eugene cannot be trusted to remember which soaps are for which fabrics and to not mix whites with colored fabric.

• There is a suspiciously pink shirt lying around because of that

• Lucilla back at it again with her disney princess dreams this time she got:

• A deer

• An ocelot

• Two mice found in the kitchen

• A snake

• Another snake

• This snake’s poisonous Lucilla

• She found a squirrel

• Chipmunks she wanted to name Alvedon, Simone and Theodore

• And a rat

• Gavus and Eugene “where IDD YOY GET THESE????”

• Lucilla “the forest :]”

• She does not get to keep them (justice for Lucilla)

• Lucilla and Liberta DEFINITELY get into petty sibling squabbles (“She stole my hairbrush!” “Yeah well you weren’t using it right then and we share the same cooties so!” “It’s the etiquette of not stealing people’s hairbrushes, Lucilla!”)

I watched Sometimes a Great Notion tonight and I'm fine, idk why you'd even ask! Little Ana got her smile back, everything's groovy and chill!

Man is certain of nothing but his ability to fail. It is the deepest faith we have, and the unbeliever — the blasphemer, the dissenter — will stimulate in us the most righteous of furies.

Man hating terfs are annoying tbh. At what point do you admit that your hatred of men is pushing you away from 50% of the population? That lifelong friends and allies you could have had were repulsed by your dislike and maybe even fear of men?
