Unhinged linguistic moment re: my thesis -> in The Beast's Heart (Leife Shallcross), there's a character that helps out the Belle character's family when Isabeau is at the Beast's castle. That character is called *drum roll* Madame Minou. Now why is this funny ? Because "minou" is slang for "pussy".

*5 minutes of cackling and wheezing later*

*inhales* *wipes tears* Aaaah. How do I tastefully write in my thesis that a character is called Mrs Pussy ??? Losing it.

Title: The Beast's Heart

Author: Leife Shallcross

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2019

Genres: fiction, fantasy, retelling, romance

Blurb: He is neither monster nor man, yet he is both. He is the Beast. The day he was cursed to this wretched existence was the day he was saved...although it did not feel so at the time. His redemption sprung from contemptible roots; he is not proud of what he did the day her father happened upon his crumbling, isolated chateau. But if loneliness breeds desperation, then he was desperate indeed, and he did what he felt he must. His shameful behaviour was unjustly rewarded with his Isabeau. She opened his eyes, his mind, and his heart. She taught him how to be human again...and now he might lose her forever.

cats of all types and sizes are god’s perfect killing machines and i can only hope and dream to achieve the raw athletic potential and destructive force that felids are capable of. all while looking like :3

#saw a vid of a puma meowing #comments were filled with ‘i would try to pet this and die’ #as well as ‘if not fren then why fren noise :(‘ #and i have to agree. it is a fucking travesty that these beasts are not domestic. breaks my heart that i cannot ethically pat a puma #what i wouldnt give to either have as a friend or BE an amur leopard #or a clouded leopard #ugh. #felidae #jordan talks

erm okay so... the way this argument ends...

because obviously the doctor is about to blame donna for spilling the coffee, but he catches himself, backs off and apologizes. and it's not him catching himself in a "this is a pointless argument because i'm right and you aren't getting that so i give up" sorta way- because in that beat after, he isn't irritated, he doesn't start trying to figure out a way to reiterate his point. it's him catching himself in a "that was the wrong thing to say and i regret that" sorta way.

it's him catching himself becoming another one of the voices in donna's head calling her a screw up.

#and then immediately after this we get The Scene #where he kisses her hand and pulls it to his hearts #foaming at the mouth #doctor who #dw spoilers #fourteenth doctor #14th doctor #donna noble #david tennant #tenth doctor #the star beast #wild blue yonder #doctor donna #doctor who 60th anniversary #orion dw posts

sukuna’s concubines serve him. they are there for his pleasure. they don’t get to ask, demand or request anything in return. he uses them for a good fuck, and they comply with obedience. but…things are different with you - his favorite, most precious little pet -

you’re the only one he gets on his knees for, who he worships from between your legs, with his tongue buried against your heat as he eats you out just to hear your pretty cries. you’re the one who earns orgasm after orgasm under the cruel ministrations of his fingers, just because he enjoys watching how far he can push you. you’re the one who sleeps by his side after he fucks you, who remains in the safe comfort of his embrace and who gets littered with sweet kisses just because you’ve earned his adoration

no one else gets this treatment, this reciprocation, other than his most favored~

#thinking about sukuna x you in the way you want me #he’s so cruel but when you’re his favorite? #something hits different with that beast whose heart is soft for solely you #and you alone #Sukuna x reader #writing inspo.💭

hi heres art so you pay attention to me now go read the tags

#ive been rewatching episode 7 like its the only thing on youtube and made note of many things #first off. the solver can only have one host. nori mentions skyn wants to kill off all the other solver hosts (with the dds) and disregards #the idea of both uzi and doll being its current host when they get chased #plus the main solver possessions only occur when skyn is out of the picture (the fightt in ep 7 is only after n decapitates “tessa”) #solver uzi is possible too but i dont count her cause she doesn't have the yellow #personal theory is that its more an instinctual response to overheating or something and not full on possession #second off nori calls the solver cyn. how does she know that name #cyn was on earth and only showed up to copper 9 recently and i presume nori's been here her whole life #it probably wasn't the other dds cause none of them made it down and they're all more savage beasts #since cyn specifies n's team retained their personalities and that makes me think the other teams didnt #also also we should've immediately questioned tessa arriving in the same type of pod as the mds when they were revealed to not be sent by j #im running out of characters also the people who dont like when i use tags like this can bite me #murder drones #murder drones nori #artori? that sounds cool #ill probably just stick with nori though #i have so many solver heart refs now #art #episode 7 #murder drones episode 7 #murder drones episode 7 spoilers #using the same black for shadows as my lineart doesn't work when i have to draw thin things over it #murder drones spoilers

I just finished A Curse So Dark And Lonely, by Brigid Kemmerer, and wow, it might be even better than The Beast's Heart. That's a fantastic twist on Beauty and the Beast's story, and, this time, I'm using fantastic in its literary sense of "a story that starts in the real world and then gets invaded by the magical". Harper is truly awesome and badass, and I would have loved to see Grey's POV through the story, he's so good and loyal. Rhen is interesting insomuch as he's different from what the character of the Prince usually is in these contemporary rewritings. He's much more pro-active in his life and passive in his curse, if that makes sense, while most other Princes linger in their resignation and frustration.

That was such a fascinating read, I can't wait to start writing my thesis on modern rewritings of B&tB and compare it with The Beast's Heart, A Tale of Love and Revenge, Uprooted or Once Upon A Time, Belle. If you guys know more rewritings in contemporary literature of the tale, please do drop recs, the more samples I have for my thesis, the better!

Oppressed with sleepiness, she went to bed and was snuggling down in the perfumed sheets when her eyes fell on the little table by the bedside. Someone had set a cup of hot chocolate there; half asleep, she reached out her hand for it and drank it. Her eyes closed and she fell into a delicious slumber where she dreamed of her lover, a prince as handsome as the God of Love in picture-books, and when he spoke it was with a voice that went straight to her heart.

Arthur Quiller-Couch, "Beauty and the Beast" from The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales from the Old French (1910)

#enchanted hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate #i'm assuming #this is the time of the year i put peppermint and pink heart-shaped marshmallows in mine and i should think that's pretty close #beauty and the beast #literature
