Ah, yes. Team Green. Featuring a repressed lesbian still reeling from the fallout of her complicated situationship. An evil grandfather who eventually will become jobless. A guard who doubles as a stepfather and a hit man. An alcoholic. A doomed prophetess. An overpowered anime villain and his geriatric nuclear warhead. And a fourth child who may or may not exist.

Just thinking about Carmen with a gf who has an attitude and he just takes it bc he’s so head over heels for her.
She stops by The Bear for family but brings some work with her that she really needs to get done, and Carmen pops into the office—just to check on her! “Baby, d’you want some water?” or “Lemme make you somethin’.” or “You alright?”
And all she does is say “Carm, I’m busy. Go away.” or “Leave me alone.” with a tone that has him pouting even though he’s used to it by now. Carmen sighs and walks out of the office like an idiot, grabs her a glass of water anyway (he can’t help it ok???), and drops it off beside her with a kiss on her cheek and a hand on her shoulder that she more or less ignores.
And Richie’s watching all this go down, cackling when she snips at Carmen: “Cousin, she’s got you on a leash.”
And Carmen just tells him to “Fuck off.” because that’s his girl and he’s just happy to see her <3

See the thing is, you read HtN and like yeah, obviously lobotomizing yourself so a dead girl’s soul doesn’t get cannibalized is completely fucking wild and you probably have to love someone at least a little to do that, but Harrow has spent the whole book having tension with Ianthe and fervently claiming to be in love with the Body— and then you get to Act V and Harrow is literally weeping wailing feral about Gideon, constructing Prince!Gideon AUs (which, she doesn’t know about Gideon’s paternity!! She is simply drawing upon a (romantic!!!) genre trope!!!) and role reversal AUs and fucking coffee shop AUs about Gideon, and she’s refusing to go back to her own body, and Abigail and Magnus and Dulcie so obviously and completely believe that Harrow is in love with Gideon because they directly compare them to Abigail and Magnus, and she says she’s saving the last dance. Agh!!! Aggghhhhh!!!!!!

Been thinking about Fantine and her portrayals. As a character, she has so much depth and emotion. She is an undoubtably good character, but she’s not good in the way Valjean is. Fantine isn’t a reserved saint. She lashes out when she’s been wronged and she does things out of desperation that make people look down on her. But she’s good and the audience wants to see her happy. While Valjean refuses to express the anger he feels towards the society that wronged him, Fantine proves it is possible to express this anger and not lose a bit of audience sympathy. I have yet to find one person who doesn’t cheer her on when she retaliates against Bamatabois. Of course, there are in universe consequences for her anger, however unfair they may be. But my point is that the audience isn’t encouraged to condemn her as well.
On a different note, I also find her placement near the beginning of the story very interesting. In many ways, she is the initial call to action, one that emerges before the barricade but gives it an emotional leg to stand on when it does appear. The resistance coming from Fantine gives only more reason to ensure that it continues.

Until it stops hurting. Until I stop crying. Until I stop thinking about it nonstop.
Pick your favorite (none of these will ever happen btw 🥲)

Jesus Christ almighty I had a patient last night who spoke a language that we could not get a translator for all night. But apparently the language is similar enough to another language that is really easy to get a translator for, so not only was I fuckin calling interpreter services every hour in the hopes that SOMEONE would magically become available, every other resource I could find was like “we have resources for you for a language your patient doesn’t speak. Is that helpful?”
IT WAS NOT HELPFUL. It’s like if you needed an English translator and people kept being like “hmmmm. Well we’ve got guy who speaks German?” Except it does get to the point of desperation and failed attempts at miming and communication boards that you are like “yeah fuck it, let’s give Hans a shot. He cannot be doing any worse than I am right now.”
