7-questions ask: Quasimodo

These answers are for the Disney version because I haven't read the original novel.

Three facts about them from my personal headcanons.

The Romani man who holds Quasimodo's mother protectively in the prologue isn't his father. He's his uncle, his mother's brother. His father was a white Frenchman, and his mother had some mixed race ancestry too, which explains why he's pale-skinned, red-haired and blue-eyed despite having a dark-skinned, dark-haired Romani mother.

For the first few years of his childhood, he was cared for by a nurse, who breastfed him as a baby and handled all the main business of childcare, while Frollo mainly served as his educator. Frollo dismissed her when Quasi was five or six years old because she "wasn't needed anymore," but her kindness and gentleness were a lifelong influence on Quasi. After he joins the outside world, he might find her again and thank her.

He's going to find that he misses Frollo sometimes, even though he knows he was a monster. He was still the only father figure Quasi ever knew.

A reason they suck:

The fact that at first he refuses to join Phoebus in setting out to warn Esmeralda about Frollo's pending attack on the Court of Miracles. I want to believe he mainly refuses out of fear, both of Frollo and of leaving the cathedral again, with slight subtext of "Phoebus will find her without me and he's the one she loves anyway." But the other possible reading is that for a few moments, he almost wants to let Esmeralda be caught by Frollo because he's bitter that she doesn't love him romantically.

A reason they are great:

His kindness, tenderness, and deep feeling, combined with incredible courage when he overcomes his insecurities.

A reason I relate to them:

I've also felt like a strange, awkward misfit at times.

(what I consider to be) the top tier otp/ot3 for that character:

I don't really ship him with anyone romantically. Not until he's had more time to heal from Frollo's emotional abuse. Yes, I do know about Madellaine in the sequel, but I haven't actually seen the sequel and I don't count it as canon. I ship him with happiness, and platonically with Esmeralda and Phoebus as a found family.

Five things that never happened to the character that I believe should have happened:

That the movie made it clearer that his three gargoyle friends are figments of his imagination. Then their presence would feel less like jarring, tacked-on "kid appeal."

That the Archdeacon had taken more of a role in helping to raise him and helped to counteract Frollo's abuse.

That he had managed to stay out of sight and not been crowned King of Fools at the festival, so he wouldn't have been abused by the crowd. (Of course there would be no plot then.)

That Esmeralda hadn't kissed his cheek after he helped her escape from the cathedral. She meant it as platonic affection, but it gave him false hope.

This applies to all versions of the character, not just Disney's – that pop culture would stop treating him as a "classic horror icon" just because he's deformed. He's not a horror character.

Five people that character never fell in love with and why.

Phoebus. Maybe it could have happened if he were gay or bi, but he's straight.

Clopin. See above.

Frollo. Even if he were attracted to men, and even if Frollo weren't evil and Quasimodo's abuser, it would feel like parental incest!

Laverne the gargoyle. Even though she's the only "woman" he's known through most of his life, (a) she's an old crone, and (b) she's not human.

Belle from Beauty and the Beast. While they would probably have liked each other if they had met, she lives at least 320 years after his time. (I suspect that "Belle's" cameo appearance during "Out There," is really an ancestress of hers.)

Yo!

You guyyyyysssss!!!! It’s Wednesday (which means tomorrow is the gateway to the weekend!)....And now that I have your attention, everyone go read this article, ‘7 Strange Questions to Help You Find Your Life Purpose’.

I found it today and I must say, it’s an A+ find - especially to anyone who currently struggles or has struggled in the past with what they want to do and who they want to be.

(I’m not oblivious to the irony in me making everyone feel warm and fuzzy with a ‘rah rah fandom love’ post then immediately requesting you go read an article on life goals and the existential lol. But hey— call me an enigma.)

7 Questions Tag Game

Thank you for the tag, @themagicalypurplemastodon!!

1. How do you come up with stories? Like where does the idea come from?

My bigger WIPs come from extensive discussion with my writing partner(s) –– for example, I remember the tempting idea for Morsmordre was dropped on my lap (and then it spun out from there into something very, very different and much wider in scope as we added more characters and fleshed out details). Others began with two little words: ‘what if...’

2. What do you have first, character or plot and how do you come to the second one?

Since I reuse characters a lot, probably characters... then a setting to best fit them, and a plot to angst them with. Not always, though. For fanfiction, it’s sort of both. I prefer writing plot-heavy stuff, but it’s usually character-centric too, or some kind of personal quest.

3. What do you do when you are stuck in your writing, to boost your inspiration?

Music, for one - I sometimes go and add a few tracks to my character playlists or take them out to busy myself with that. Pinterest has helped on occasion to solidify characterization/get myself in the mood... Sometimes I do some design, like banners and stuff, that will never see the light of day.

4. What is your favorite quote on writing?

“Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.” - Vonnegut

5. What are the themes of your wips?

Youth and Coming of Age, generally, with the exception of Post-Script.

6. How do you decide which story idea you are going to write?

I throw alphabet soup at @pens-swords-stuff and see what sticks.

7. How much do you work on your wip aside from writing? Like thinking, outlining, researching, etc

I’m a big old daydreamer, so quite a lot. I think about it on the train, I think about them when I’m in bed trying to get to sleep, I think about it in classes... To be honest, I’m easily distracted, and they’re my biggest distraction.

7 Questions

Thank you @fourohfourlifenotfound for tagging me!!

1. How do you come up with stories? Like where does the idea come from?

Ideas strike at the most random times. Sometimes I'm doing homework, sometimes I'm listening to music, sometimes I'm riding the bus.

2. What do you have first, character or plot, and how do you come up with the second one?

I usually come up with a plot first. I brainstorm ideas until something sticks and then I think of all the possible characters that could live the plot out until I find one that really resonates with me.

3. What do you do when you are stuck Imin your writing, to boost your inspiration?

I move on to a different WIP to work on for a while.

4. What is your favorite quote on writing?

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." -Maya Angelou

5. What are the themes of your WIPs?

Found family, recovery, death, fate, character growth

6. How do you decide on which story idea you are going to write?

Whichever ones tha I just can't seem to get out of my head. I have probably about 10 other WIP ideas I'm planning to work on once I finish my current three.

7. How much do you work on your WIP aside from writing? Like thinking, outlining, researching, etc.

I make moodboards for all of my characters and Pinterest boards for all of my WIPs. Aside from that I usually don't do a ton of researching unless it's necessary. And I usually take a day or so to outline and brainstorm ideas so I can write as soon as possible.
