Over the next two days I intend to write:
If you read Kill the Moon and happen to have things about which you are curious or characters of whom you would like to see more, feel free to put in your requests. I’ve a bit in mind for Joly, Bossuet, and ‘Chetta but that’s all the more specific it gets.
Things have been really busy and exhausting and hnngh allergies and I just haven’t been able to focus on fic or pretty much anything for a little while. So I don’t know how many people will actually see this or bother with it but here is a reminder that I am pretty much always open for Les Mis prompts (my ‘verses or general AU ideas or whatever) and I’ll always answer any questions people have about my fics. If you’ve got any right now, feel free to toss them at me and hopefully help my brain get back into a writing groove. Can’t promise responses will be very quick but I can at least promise responses.
Back from VA with a headache and a strong desire to just say fuck it and move back down there already. I mean, I can’t - I am in no position to do so just yet - but goddamn if I don’t want to. So it’s off to bed so I can get any sleep at all before work tomorrow and then bleh. Getting on with my life until the next time I head south again.
Looks like I’ve officially been changed from my sister’s Man of Honor to her fiancé’s Best Man. Good times!
I want to write but I can’t think. Bleh. Going down to my parents’ for a couple days after work tomorrow. Maybe the break and scenery change will help.
‘enjolras was presumably straight’
don’t u try it
he is only presumably straight because les mis was written in the 19th century and if hugo had written a gay character he probably would have ended up like oscar wilde or some shit.
so basically hugo would have had to make it as subtle but glaringly obvious as possible
and i’m sorry but are all the likenings to gay ancient greeks not good enough to you?
is his not knowing a thing such as woman not good enough for you?
come on what more proof do you expect from a book written in a time period where homosexuality was really really really extremely frowned upon.
Let me count the ways in which this is wrong:
Here is your “yes, please, click that read more” of the morning with a side of “gee, I love how everyone is always arguing two points of sexuality and mostly only use ace as a fall-back when they feel like their personal ship defenses are weakening.” Which is not a statement of attack on the read more by any means. It’s just my way of say that its too early in the goddamned morning for me to properly express my appreciation for some proper historical argument and also someone who understands that literary references can in fact just be literary references without actually being meant to aid or assist your sexual labeling.
This has been your grumpy ace dude for the morning.

Aww, thank you, anon. This made a rather blah day a little bit brighter. :]
