I think what draws me in and completely captivates me with Once Upon a Broken Heart is the sheer, unapologetic fantasy of it all and the equally unapologetic appeal to the hopeless romantic in so many of us.

I actually find it refreshing that Evangeline is a little naive, but that that naïveté comes from that wish for and willingness to find a happily-ever-after. She IS very much that fairytale heroine who gets tossed into one scenario after another, but there’s always a very genuine (in my opinion) sense of love and hope flooding through her.

She won’t appeal to everyone, but she’s also not the ditzy, helpless protagonist I think some would make her out to be. She’s a believer in love. She’s getting a rather tumultuous crash course in what love is through her misguided deal with Jacks.

It’s not the fairytale romance with a prince or a first love.

It’s not something that ends once she has it.

Happiness is something she constantly has to work for. It takes gambles and risks. It’s messy and not always easy to understand. It’s a double-edged sword. It can both uplift and betray you; warm your heart and break it.

She’s learning. She’s growing. She’s figuring out what she wants; what it means and feels like to fall in love and fight for it.

I love too that Jacks genuinely is a trickster. He’s downright diabolical at times and Evangeline is never naive enough to think she can change that. She holds herself accountable for feeling too much for him or expecting him to act like her friend, husband, or lover. He’s not an easy person to love. He’s very obviously not fully human and can be hard to understand.

Yet she’s genuinely seeing that other, more human side of him when he doesn’t retreat from it. That side that’s capable of love and has fallen in love with her (which the readers can see much more clearly). She’s not misguided in her conflicted feelings. She just keeps moving forward with the directions her life takes her. She still believes in love. She still wants to believe in happily ever afters.

She’s learning that none of those things are easy and that they can constantly evolve.

I think a lot of women regardless of age can probably relate to just how much she’s learning about herself through this all.

I know I can.

Evangeline is a softer kind of heroine. She has a gentler strength and resolve. She doesn’t always make good or smart decisions, but she also doesn’t claim to.

She’s not a complicated protagonist. This isn’t going to win any awards for the most complex, intellectually stimulating, insightful narrative of all time or any esteemed awards in terms of craft.

But honestly? I love Evangeline, and I love these books. She’s kind of the embodiment of optimism and hopeful love, and she refuses to break. She’s kind and caring.

She’s that part of so many of us I think we tend to push aside or bury as we get older and more jaded on love.

A certain quote comes to mind about being old enough to read fairytales again. I think sometimes, that can also mean being gentle and nonjudgmental towards our own hopeless, inner romantics and that wish for something better that somehow keeps us going.

is “please im just a twenty-something year old teenage girl” a valid excuse to my quantum physics professor for my late homework

#please im so tired #i understand in class but WHAT is going on #quantum mechanics #quantum physics #physics #physics student #physics studyblr #ex gifted kid #all my self worth is relying on my grades #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #i need validation #i thrive on validation #chaotic academia #academic validation

It's crazy how thinking was a career back in the good ol' Roman and Greek days

#i wouldve thrived #overthinking would be valid and REQUIRED EVEN- #chaotic academia #humor #memes

It is truly so funny to work myself out of depression in a 2.5 year upwards crawl, reach a point where I actually like and value myself and think I may, in fact, be a treasure-

only for the academic job market to turn to me, lovingly take my face in its hands, and say "...then perish."

#tbd #this is just a silly little rant and nothing is actually wrong #but its so wild to cultivate belief in yourself and then be repeatedly told your chances at success are infindecimally small #even when you beat the odds the first time around #i've got my therapist and other people in my life being like 'don't be so pessimistic! we're supposed to be over that self-hate!" #and then for the academics to go: 'well... don't get ahead of yourself!' #its fine. i'll live and thrive and be happy whatever happens. #just actually a very funny series of social interactions to have now I'm no longer ill... #and makes me understand a little how I got so fucking ill in the first place. #academia tag

I DO miss uni because so little eye contact was required, like I was social with my friends and gave large presentations to freshmen at my volunteer gig, but now??? One on one???? Having a full-time job???? HELL on EARTH, I never realized how much I avoided eye contact and had little mental games I play with myself to Be Normal until I had to do them EVERY DAY FOREVER

#i am no longer asking if there's smthn wrong with me mentally #ig my family??? just doesnt trigger the same anxiety??? or theyre so used to me looking off over shoulders while talking #ive got a lot of dramatic expressions #but i. the workplace??? speaking w my boss formally??? #every single meeting is like. kill me. i promise im competent and good at my job but forcing eye contact??? #it will distract me and i will lose the plot of what im trying to say #anyway. ANYWAY. just going full brain worms lately #bc there is SMTHN wrong up there. idk what. but it sure is SMTHN #and removed from the only environment i thrived in (academia) and where mt odd behaviour was less obvious #i am like. well. WELL. #im still functional all is fine this is fine #but the little things and sounds and textures and social workplace etiquette #i could not tell i what colour my boss's eyes are. oops

Mina: I don’t trust men, I need to be able to kick them in the head

Kaminari: Jesus Christ on a stick, my dude

I love you, all nighters.

I love you, little red cup I bought at the dollar store when I moved into my very first apartment. I love you, still functioning Kindle Fire my mom gave me 10 years ago when I ran far away from home. I love you, late night literature.

I love you, colorful workspace I was able to create when I had a job that I loved. I love you, Macbook they let me keep that allows me to attend school online. I love you, thrifted cassette tape drawers. I love you, license plate from the car I used to live in. I love you, Monday midnights.

I love you, tech company that laid me off, used my ideas, and took my copy. Perhaps, I love you the very most. I love you, privilege of being able to switch gears and finally pursue higher education full time, for the first time, at 31. I love you, new beginnings. I love you, new horizons. I love you, new ideas. I love you, intellectual stimulation. I love you, reading all night. I love you, learning for me. I love you, all nighters.

How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

Practically all of the children in his hometown recieved some formal education with the assumption that most of them would go into the trades, so it was mainly numeracy, arithmetic and practical skills rather than anything too academic. It provided a great foundation for when he became a machinist and started developing his own upgrades, but a lot of it was self-taught as well, from books or shadowing the Ironworks guys/Steph.

I don't think he especially places one form of education over the other, as long as in the end it gets you to the place you need to be. He would have loved to have gone to a university, though, because he appreciates the value in having a bunch of like-minded people around rather than going at it on your own.

#ask meme #he would thrive in academia #oh man I bet he gets asked to be a guest speaker at some point #talking isn't his forte but he'd love it
