One of the finest matches in all of russia. Kutuzovs right hand arm man his silly rabbit. You ever succeed in a system that deeply repulses you and achieve a position of high regard that you consider pointless and unearned but you’re too complacent and disillusioned to do anything about it so you go on keeping up the social performance expected of you all the while yearning for a life with meaning.

Btw i love this tag by @thalassous i'm trying to adapt the kuragin-dolokhov trio into classic mean girl archetypes now. On one hand fedya is the most Actually Evil of them so he could take the queen bee spot. In this case Helene would be the deceptively quiet second in command and anatole would fit naturally into the brainless bimbo slot. However Helene's socialite status also makes her a natural fit for the queen bee spot while fedya has those themes of envy and social climberism that i love to explore so he could be the resentful second in command. On the third hand anatole is the most nepobaby, doesn't have to put in any work, never experienced a consequence, effortlessly popular bitch ever and i do tend to write both fedya and helene as bitterly aware of his privilege over them in that way - so he could be his own special kind of queen bee with the other two as his "underlings". Much to ponder.

Actually the real question is who's veronica and jd

My students’ adventures in trying to spell “tragedy” for their Romeo and Juliet quiz.

[spirngakawening]

Another year, another group of my delightful ninth graders trying to spell the word "tragedy" for their Romeo and Juliet assignment.

Last year's collection

#this is art. to me

would love it if the last god/goddess percy has to do a quest for is hestia. and all she only asks of him a simple, easy-to-do, done in two minutes task. and then that's it. no tricks or double meanings. and he just sobs into her shoulder at the end of it. and she just holds him and tells him that he's all done. he can go live his life now.

My neural pathways be like

[Image Description: flowchart + venn-diagram. Blue circle labelled 'musical jasons', includes large image of Jason from Falsettos holding a baseball bat; red circle labelled 'dead jasons', includes large image of official art of Jason Grace from Heroes of Olympus & a small image of Jason Todd from Batman Wayne Family Adventures. The overlap of 'dead' and 'musical' contains a medium-size image of Jason with Peter in Bare: A Pop Opera. Two-way arrows extend from each circle to 'jason' in black text. A one-way arrow extends from 'jason' to 'JASOOOOON' in large blue text, tilted, which overlaps the image of Jason Falsettos. Also outside of the circles, at the bottom of the page, a small image of Tsukishima Kei from Haikyuu is labelled 'not jason', with an arrow labelled 'looks like' pointing to Jason Grace. End ID]

i really like how, even as characterized peter is by being the Fool to jason's Coward, peter is not necessarily fearless. he has stress dreams abt homophobia, where his mom knows and is heartbroken and blames his gayness for the divorce, where he's attending his own funeral, where his classmates have known all along and are shunning him for it... but peter responds to this fear by wanting to tell his mom, where jason responds to these same fears (his future being impacted, his father beating the shit out of him, losing his social status) with assimilation, or trying to run away. peter meets his fears where they're at, and jason tries to make it so he's not a target for his fears. idk

Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period
