watching ilia go viral among people who aren’t actively following figure skating is wild. it’s like your neighbor barging into your house while it’s on fire and saying they love what you’ve done with the place.

if there is ever a studcomm separation arc (in my dark+twisted mind) then they should write the most melodramatic long ass letters to one another. it should be marx and engels all over again but 100x more psychosexual. they are on the lookout for the postal service like a bloodhound, all day, every day. one stray and definitely platonic comment about mistaking a stranger's hair colour/style for the one of the pair becomes 'here is a lock of my hair enclosed in this letter, i miss you too comrade'. it's going to explode and they both know it and they don't want to stop it, just being in the same room together after so long (maybe two weeks) apart is volcanic...

For the FURTHER record, you could also make a gorgeous Beamont/Villeneuve fusion Girl Genius Beauty and the Beast AU.
There is a castle with invisible servants (Castle Heterodyne). There is a monster on a hill (the ancient Heterodynes). There are two princes between which the lady thinks she must choose, even though she can keep both (Gil and Tarvek). One is good with words; the other isn't, and that one isn't fully human either.
It gets tangled up of course by AGATHA being the Beast, but don't you think that's beautiful?

we don't have much characterisation for olly (he only talks to you if rugan is dead, which, no) so i've been hovering over a bunch of devnotes recently, and found these two lines:
i think of him as a country boy with that longbow, a peasant family who pays their taxes in wool or grain, not coins.
probably a younger son with nothing to inherit; just enough education to have the faintest outline of what it might be outside his village and a town he sees on market days; can read, slowly, if he has the chance, but farm work is never done, and candles are expensive
dreams of finding enchanted treasure, or rescuing a knight and being taken up as his squire, or anything that will get him out of these bare hills. can't pretend he's a lost prince because he looks just like his brothers and sisters.
he makes a very bad zhent

Books / Yarn / Plants
:D
Psst @is-apotato @miadancer24 @bzagender @link-or-sherlock hi :)
“You’re a nerd, you know that?”
“I don’t don’t know how reading and expanding my vocabulary makes me nerdy,” Astrin looked up from his book. “Didn’t you day you can’t read? I think my “nerdy behavior” might help you out a bit.”
“Less than you think it would, Twink” Jaz said.
“More than you think, Edgelord,” Astrin continued reading his book. Silence befell the garden until Jaz growled a response.
“Just because I can’t read, doesn’t mean I’m not capable.” Jaz groaned.
Astrin look up from his book for the second time in ten minutes. His eyebrows were furrowed. “Never said you weren’t.”
Cyrus mumbled as he tended to the plants in his garden with his nature magic. “Can you two please stop flirting with each other?”
I second that, Mossie signed.
Svet whistled an uneven tune.
Belle hovered over Cyrus’s hair, awkwardly swaying in her fairy form.
“What part of “You should read more.” sounds like flirting?!” Astrin basically yelled as he shut his book.
“If anything, sewing is nerdier than books!” Jaz pointed at Svet who was watching Cyrus handle his plants while mindlessly binding yarn together.
“I’m not sewing, smarty.”
“All I said, was to stop flirting. Why is everyone getting loud?” Cyrus muttered.
Agreed, Mossie signed.
“Finally, someone who gets me!” Cyrus cheered.
Astrin sighed at the group of misfits.
Yep, he thought, I’m stuck with them.

did mike decide to base "what a mike who's attracted to girls and in love with el would say" off of dustin being like "obviously max is awesome, i don't have to say one word to her to know this, mike, look at her!" when max and dustin never dated because dustin's the only person mike's ever complained to about love at first sight (specifically towards a girl) not making sense to him and who then tried to explain what being attracted to girls is like as if it's going to make any sense to his bestie. oh honey

Such a sad journal.
Haviland spent the last 20 pages sick and in pretty severe decline, and expressed anxiety that it might be consumption. He was discharged from the ship at Lahaina, spending at least two months there in the Hospital. In his last entry on May 23rd 1858, he said that he was feeling much better, was free of his cough, and was eager to finally go home but didn’t think he would get the chance to until next fall.
Looking through the US consular records out of Lahaina there’s no record of him on lists of deceased Americans, at least not up to 1860. But again, he doesn’t exist anywhere I can find on paper beyond the closure of this journal. Who knows if he made it back or if something befell him on the return journey or what. I’d like to think he was able to see his family again, though.
