"Dost thou know? My name is Euphrasie."

"Euphrasie? Why, no, thy name is Cosette."

"Oh! Cosette is a very ugly name that was given to me when I was a little thing. But my real name is Euphrasie. Dost thou like that name--Euphrasie?"

"Yes. But Cosette is not ugly."

"Do you like it better than Euphrasie?"

"Why, yes."

yumeko..........................................................i gotta catch up on this manga

Anika is such a throwaway character in The Boys but i'm obsessed with her scenes. especially the one with Homelander. how do we not have a dozen fics of him harassing her in crime analytics, using her behind the scenes to be his eyes and ears. where's my fic where he finds out Deep fired her, slaps him upside the head and drags her back into the office himself. look how CUTE she is

she also gets a patent Homie point, which we love.

don't even get me started on when he pushes her chair in and moves her hand. did no one else rewind this scene several times.

this LOOK he gives her after?? guys the fanfic writes itself. please.

okay thats interesting! in the SF try-outs during the song "legally blonde" she sings about how she cant be legally blonde, while in the official version AND THE DEMO she sings about letting her be legally blonde. which means that at some point they changed the lyrics around, and then changed them back! laurence o'keefe.... nell benjamin.... what occurs in your twisted minds

Trying to figure out 'default' outfits for these old biddies guys! (+ human colors for funsies)

The christening that marks the beginning of Aurora's story commences a week after she is born, to the day.

A July Leo, the little Princess arrives into the world at the height of a flourishing summer heat, when the golden sun is at its most brilliant. Her mother was a deeply spiritual woman, a quality Aurora would inherit from her, and considered the strong daylight to be a good omen for her daughter's future health.

The path to carrying a child had been an arduous one for the Queen, the royalty concerned for her welfare after the suffering of many stillbirths. When she initially discovered she had been pregnant with Aurora, she was buoyantly joyful until the Court Physician told her she likely could not have the baby and live. Devastated, she beseeched the Three Good Fairies to search for another opinion. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather sought out all the wizards and wise men of the realm before they happened upon a young doctor who was convinced the Queen could have the baby if she stayed in bed nearly the entire time of her pregnancy. The King was so loving and attentive to his wife during this time.

Now, as the happy news of his daughter's safe arrival reached him, Stefan- too- seemed enveloped by the embrace of the dancing sunbeams on that July day. Like his daughter would later be, he was of an expressive, poetic nature. To his Queen, he suggested the name Aurora- after the dawn- for she filled their lives with sunshine and so that all days could be as golden and warm as this one. They planned for the christening to be a full seven days out, as was the custom at the time due to the mortality rate. A master calligraphist who successfully copied many legal documents by his own hand, the King set about penning and addressing all the invitations personally.

Now, on the very first day of August, the July heat gave way to a balmy breeze. As all gathered around the castle gates, the name of the infant Princess was finally announced. Taken by the song of her epithet, the Knights and Ladies, townspeople and peasants, all joint in song to the processional chorale, "Hail to the Princess Aurora."

i have a physiognomy that is so aching for a cigarette

,

thought id update to say; i survived opening night!!! and not only that, it went REALLY fucking well, and people seemed to REALLY REALLY like it omfg... god this is so crazy

actually ykw here’s some more old art from like 2018-19 of jessie mueller

slowly coming out to people at work and today i decided to come out to a woman i know does not like transgender people and she stopped me and said "no, i know what you are. i knew when you came in one day and you always had a very sweet, beautiful voice and it turned hard one day, suddenly. i know. and i have my own opinions. i know a lot of gays and lesbians and all kinds of people, trust me. and i respect you. but i have my own opinions under god. and you live your life." and literally earlier that day she had called me a "strong, very beautiful woman" which is part of why i did this. and i asked why, if she knew, that she did that anyways. and she said "well, it's how i see you, as you were born." and i just put up one finger and waggled it and said "we will not discuss this further". and like i knew this would happen. but oh well! i honestly thought she would be the kind of person who was sort of furious about it because it how she always seemed.

Violet Made of Thorns

YA fantasy romance about a royal prophet and the cursed prince she saved when they were children

fairytale worldbulding, a magical cursed wood,

malydia are sooo fun because they boldly ask the question “what if too lesbians who were sooo autistic in the exact opposite directions? but what if they’re not actually autistic they’re just Like That because they are a harbinger of death and a girl who spent the last several years of her life as a coyote? but what if still, actually really truly and for real, they were both autistic (in the exact opposite directions)?” and they answer is, of course, “well, that would be awesome”

She’s literally my best friend

Man, so I know nobody actually reads these ‘technically journal entries’ on here (or maybe you do and if so I’m sorry), but I’m just beginning my re-transition. At least socially. I came out when I was 13 and by 18 I was so traumatised that I hid and went back way further into the closet than I’d ever been, going above and beyond to perform my agab roles. Now much later on in my 20s and I’m doing it all over again. Gotta admit, I’m selfishly jealous of people my age and younger who already have their names at school (god, I can’t imagine being out at school!), are on hormones, are getting surgery consultations, etc. I’m extremely happy for them all and wish them nothing but happiness but damn. How to feel like an old relic lol

Queer people just age differently from cishet people, must we.
