[fayevalcntine]

Anyway I've been kind of following the press releases for The Count of Monte Cristo (2024) (French) movie and some potential spoilers that I kind of want to air out:

The film seems to be marketed as "much darker" in terms of focusing on the revenge aspect, which I don't mind, but some other stuff give me pause as to how they're gonna handle The Count as a character because the way the actors talk about him, he almost sounds weirdly irredeemable, or rather just completely incapable of still loving and caring about people? Which is the exact opposite of how he behaves in the book..... he wants to be cold and completely detached but fails each time because he a) forms close connections with people like Haydée and Maximilien, even comes to deeply respect Albert despite trying to talk himself into not caring about the boy and b) is meant to question his own revenge plot because it inadvertently causes the death of an innocent child

Apparently Haydée is 'torn between her loyalty for the Count and the love of her life' with said love of her life being.....guess who? Albert de Morcerf. There's no mention of a court scene so far where she accuses Fernand of being a traitorous officer and murdering her father, instead Edmond apparently gets her to seduce Albert but then Haydée falls in love with him for real? I once wrote a post complaining about this type of idea I've seen others mention as a "potential fix" for the plot but taking aside my issue with Albert/Haydée as a pairing in any sense, in this context it's almost doubly bizarre and I feel like the writers took so many different elements from the book, namely Albert's blind trust and admiration towards the Count and the forbidden love story between Maximilien and Valentine, and decided to go for a much more digestible change for the story, I guess? The actress who plays Haydée also mentions that she wants to "break free from the Count's psychological grip", which..... you can say a lot of stuff about Edmond/Haydée as an overall dynamic, particularly in him inserting her in his plan for revenge, but the big thing noted in the book is that Haydée makes the decision herself to testify against Fernand, and even thinks that the Count will disapprove of her for this. He also does genuinely care for her and wanted her to inherit everything he owns should he die.... the whole point of him taking her in is that he wanted her to have the life she was entitled to before Fernand's actions stripped it away from her.

The film also seems to have merged several different characters related to Villefort into one, namely Benedetto/Andrea and Bertuccio, since Andrea (in the film) is also under the Count's wing and seems to accompany him as a possible servant in some scenes. This isn't a bad idea in theory, though I'm pretty sure that he ends up dying when he goes after Villefort at the court house, so I presume he's also supposed to represent Edouard's death? My main question is when this scene even happens in the film because apparently, there's a final sword fight (likely the one between Fernand and Edmond), so the death that makes Edmond question his entire plot isn't even at the end of his plan?

This brings me to my next point which is why are Fernand and Edmond even doing a sword duel in the first place.... apparently the film has Fernand come from a rich family already, and he's known and been friends with Edmond prior to his imprisonment, so w/e, classic trope of CoMC adaptations at this point. But the duel and Haydée's 'seduction' plot just makes me think that for all the apparent attempts at centering her as a character more, these writers took out a significant scene related to her character that means a lot FOR her, namely the court scene, and instead centered Edmond's feelings of betrayal towards Fernand. I know that this is likely to also focus a lot on Edmond's lost life with Mercedes, but Fernand isn't even such a significant focus of Edmond's ire in the book as much as the other two men are.

The movie doesn't seem to end with Mercedes and Edmond getting back together, which I at least appreciate if this Edmond is "much darker" than even in the book, but if he isn't with her or isn't dead by the end, what exactly is the point of him going off alone? I presume this is the ending if Haydée/Albert are supposed to represent Maximilien/Valentine and the Count "gives them support" for being together, but Edmond was pretty much contemplating suicide until Haydée stopped him in the book. The point is that his focus on avenging the past was his only assumed reason for living, but there's a chance for him to simply live on with those who genuinely care about him as he is now. Without him trying to make amends through Maximilien and Valentine and Haydée indicating she will only live if he lives, I can't really see the film making a good argument for why Edmond wouldn't contemplate suicide instead of living on.

Apparently Villefort has a Bonapartist sister (I presume this character is meant to replace his father in the film) whom I also think Edmond saves from a shipwreck that has been shown in the trailers. I've zero clue how this movie is going to fit a new character in this while doing all of this to the other more significant characters, but that seems to be a general trend with this scriptwriter duo.

Only minor positive thing so far is that Eugenie IS included for once, and they didn't omit her being a lesbian.

10 People I'd Like to Know Better

Thanks for the tags @gaiaseyes451 and @beerok23!💜!💜

last song: Gloria by the Lumineers

favourite colour: Red, like a deep luscious red that you know would taste good if you licked it. Don't act innocent, you know exactly what I mean by that. Red is a color that you just know tastes good.

last book: I am currently trying to read the Witcher series (per @lickthecowhappy's suggestion) so I am at the start of the Last Wish

last movie: Moana 2 (I have young kidsssss)

last TV show: My oldest is almost 10 which means she stays up late. Which also means I have so little time to watch adult things. So we've been watching the Office with her. I think I want to watch the Good Place with her next tho (I've never watched it!)

sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet followed very, very closely by spicy. Habanero maple syrup is one of my favorite things on the planet.

last thing i searched online: How to explain a 10 year career hiatus in a cover letter (looking to return to work since having kids. It's been an interesting experience so far).

current obsession: Have not moved on from Good Omens, but recently realized that my obsession may be more in my own little connected universe of fics that I wrote rather than the actual canon at this point😳. I'm sure once we get that first glimpse of red and white hair that will change very quickly.

looking forward to: Going back to work and having a more established adult life again, honestly. I've been so lucky to be home with my kids while they are young, but I am ready. And figuring out how my newfound passion for writing is going to fit into that new life of mine. Another big year of change over here for me, and I am eagerly looking forward to how the growing pains are going to make way for something beautiful beyond.

ten people i’d like to know better:

@addledmongoose, @di-42, @afrenchwriter, @haemey, @eybefioro, @alwaystuesday, @katspause, @alphacentaurinebula, @shadesofecclescakes, @ochre-sunflower and whoever wants to do it (but also feel free to ignore!)

Miniseries Jacopo is giving too much dog energy. He’s totally the Count’s dog. Does something, wags his tail, and runs over to Count for approval. No matter when or where, the moment the Count calls, he appears. And he’s always giving the Count these worried looks, like he genuinely cares about his mental and physical health...

Miniseries Jacopo: *sees 2024 movie Count has two wolfdogs* Miniseries Jacopo: *to his Count*: “You don’t need dogs. Because your dog is here."

my numbers, my numbers....I don't have anything to compare them to but I AM curious. I have posted reviews for books I haven't finished because I needed to complain so my goodreads numbers are slightly inflated

comc is NOT being counted (haha) in my 2024 books because I wasn't able to finish it before I lost the audiobook even though I listened to most of it this year. but oh well. I'll finish it next year

I'm about to finish nettle and bone so I just marked it off as complete, but my next book is 15 hours long and it's very doubtful I'll finish it before the 1st.

therefore my final number for COMPLETED books in 2024 is....39! whee! it's not an even number but it's way more than I got to last year and I'm very happy with it 🥰

Flynn Gabriel Nowak

Flynn was surprised to find out that he could use magic. His family even more so and years later they find out his younger sister was a witch too. His parents disagreed and put Flynn into muggle high school to further his football career and his chances to get into university if football doesn't work out. However, an incident at High School left him expelled due to his magical abilities thus forcing his parent to put Flynn into Hogwarts. Learning doesn't come easy (might be due to undiagnosed ADHD) to Flynn but playing quidditch and football does. Actually quidditch became a great replacement for football at Hogwarts. Most of the time though Flynn has no idea what has doing and kinda just follows his guts, especially after Hogwarts. Flynn tried and failed to make it into to football so he tried pursuing a career in quidditch but he didn't feel the same passion that he once had. Feeling defeated and unsure what he wants to do in life by taking fleeting jobs while mindlessly travelling until one job as working as a chef assistant discovering his love for cooking.

Skin: fair but tans very easily.

Style: it usually consists of tank tops, flannel shirts, ripped jeans, shorts, a mix comfortable and casual.

WIZARDRY

Wand: Rowan and Phoenix feather.

(Rowan wood has always been much-favoured for wands, because it is reputed to be more protective than any other, and in my experience renders all manner of defensive charms especially strong and difficult to break. It is commonly stated that no dark witch or wizard ever owned a rowan wand, and I cannot recall a single instance where one of my own rowan wands has gone on to do evil in the world. Rowan is most happily placed with the clear-headed and the pure-hearted, but this reputation for virtue ought not to fool anyone – these wands are the equal of any, often the better, and frequently out-perform others in duels.)

Patronus: the seal.

Patronus memory: the day he received his epiphany of becoming a chef.

Boggart: people telling him what to do, particularly his parents and older sister.

Ages ?-?: Opens up a restaurant on Diagon Alley with Jonathan King.

RELATIONSHIPS

Family:

Jan Nowak (father) - An American-Polish muggle nuclear engineer who was moved to Britain for the sake of his wife. He provides the best he can and wants to make sure that all his three children receive the best education and study at university to be successful adults. He also spread his passion for sports to his three children too.

Elizabeth Nowak (mother) - A British muggle pharmacist who meet Jan on a holiday resort. Out of her and Jan, she pushes higher education more on their children and expects them to pursue 'realistic' careers. She was deeply upset when she found out that two of her children were magically gifted and ruined her plans for their future.

Isla Nowak (older sister) - She was not gifted with magic and took education seriously. She inherited her parents passion for science and went to university to get a bachelor and a masters in biomedical sciences. However, Isla does have some jealously over her younger siblings magical gifts.

Friends:

Harper Nowak (younger sister) - A muggleborn like Flynn, Harper may have been gifted magic but again like Flynn has not been given book smarts. Harper is sorted into Hufflepuff and is super tight with Flynn while she struggles to relate to Isla. Harper is a very free spirited girl who can easily follow the wrong people unfortunately.

Michael Nowak (older half-brother) - His brother is the son from his dad's first marriage. They don't have much contact except for the occasional visit at their grandparents house.

Rory McTavish @the-al-chemist - Rory was the first one to help Flynn to navigate Hogwarts and introduce him to the wonders of the quidditch world.

Jonathan King @whatwouldvalerydo - One of his few mature friends who actually makes sure that Flynn doesn't get mislead or taken advantage of. It can be tiring naturally but Flynn always knows that he can count on Jonathan for anything.

Phil Baker @samshogwarts - Another fellow Gryffindor who he loves to play video games with but doesn't understand half of the references sometimes.

Dylan Amari @lifeofkaze - Flynn likes Dylan and doesn't understand why he hates Rory while Rory says they're friends. Anyhow, Flynn thinks that Dylan is a nice guy and finds him nicer when he isn't with Rory.

Reva Amari @lifeofkaze - Reva always makes sure to inform Flynn about the wizarding world. Why shouldn't he trust her? After all she grew up in the wizarding world and she knows a lot about magic. Plus they're teammates and teammates would never lie, right?

Nova Mae @kc-and-co - He is impressed at the many talents she posses and thinks she super smart because she is a Ravenclaw.

Dana Parkin @lifeofkaze - Dana decided to adopt Flynn, the tall bean that he is and looks after him to make sure that Flynn is coping well at Hogwarts.

Love interests:

Zola Albatross - Flynn developed a crush on Zola during his fourth year and finally asked her out in his fifth year. When Flynn felt that they could get serious, Zola broke up with him but remain friendly. But then they sort of got back together in Flynn's last year before he graduated but it was shirt lived. But they keep bumping into each after Hogwarts so maybe they are meant to be.

Rivals:

So far has none because he is a sweet boy.

Ancestry: Flynn doesn't know that his paternal grandmother was a squib and that her parents (his great-grandparents) were an American witch and an Irish wizard named Oscar Rosewood who currently resides in Azkaban. His great-grandfather, Oscar was also adopted by Glenn Rosewood.
