Some recently finished ceramics, and they are up for sale in my shop! This is the first time I'm selling ceramics online, and I'm very excited about it!

Listening to the eleventh Poirot book now and ah, it’s delightful. Hastings being such a poor lambkin and Poirot being so sweet with his luxuriant moustaches.

idk how to put this really but there's this way we're told from the outset that combeferre is enjolras' right hand man essentially, and that he balances him out and. well I mean I guess you can't phrase it better than "combeferre complimented and rectified enjolras". but at any rate from what we're told they seem to work together closely and have a lot of impact on each other and understand each other a great deal. this is all said -- but like you don't really actually see much of this I feel until the barricade, at which point we get this whole series of little moments between them where I feel like it becomes so immediately clear on an extremely human level just how well they know each other and are used to being around each other & it's always so striking to me how without really changing anything this transforms their dynamic from theoretical to a very practical and intimate one. and it's agonizing because it's like we're just getting a glimpse of this only right when they're about to die -- it's been there the whole time for them but we as the readers are only just seeing it & feeling it. idk idk it really makes this whole section feel so impactful to me
