hi! I hope this isnt super random or anything LOL but i just wanted to say that i really like your touhou characters. i was wondering if akane has any lore, her design is soo cute it'd be awesome to hear like a backstory for her or something

omg hi!!!!!! thank you !!! thank you so much!! akane is my favorite of my touhou ocs so im always happy when someone loves her...shes my precious manatee...

originally i made her up based on a silly joke tweet i saw about sailors seeing manatees and thinking they were mermaids, and then it became Not a Joke

here is basiclaly her whole little profile of information i wrote:

Akane Kawase is a manatee mermaid who lives in the Misty Lake. She often attempts to trade goods found in the lake such as seaweed and interesting stones with passerby, be they human or youkai. She is bold and proud, and can easily find herself squeezing into a conversation with a stranger.

Despite this, Akane is quite lonely. She doesn’t have any friends due to being unable to connect with others outside of a surface-level understanding. She also is envious of others, especially those who she sees as being happier than her. She has no concept of hiding her emotions and it is very easy to see when she is displeased. She is self conscious of herself and as such shuts herself away from others, resulting in a lack of bonds.

Akane likes to dress herself with frilly clothing. She enjoys the way it looks when she swims underwater. In addition, she often dresses warmly as she gets cold easily. She sometimes fancies herself up with a bracelet or necklace handmade from precious stones she has found or traded. 

Akane, while her height is influenced by having a tail instead of legs, is taller than the average person. She has freckles on her face, arms, and tail. She doesn’t actively swim much, simply floating along calmly. She also has a high pitched voice. Akane is vegetarian. Like most residents of Gensokyo, she has the ability to fly, however she doesn’t do this due to her fear of heights. Also, with her self consciousness she feels she looks ridiculous when trying to regardless.

Akane does have one friend however, and that is Captain Minamitsu Murasa. They met due to Murasa attempting to drown a fisherman at the Misty Lake, which Akane intercepted and confronted her about. The two argued for a bit, but it was Akane who enjoyed Murasa’s boldness in talking back at her. Afterwards, Akane told Murasa to meet with her instead of trying to drown people.

The two began to talk more, with Murasa opening up about her days in Former Hell, and her current lifestyle at Myouren Temple. Akane was fascinated by Murasa’s life, though the feelings were mixed with jealousy. She longed for a lifestyle surrounded by those she trusted through literal Hell. As Murasa and Akane swapped stories, hung out, and even met Murasa’s friends, a feeling known as love began to blossom in Akane’s heart.

so yeaaah shes like the silly and also a little oc x canon to spice up your day ^_^ and also agai this ask makes me go WAAAAAAUGH like omg what.the waht

Remember 58 Joralemon St., Brooklyn, New York City, the townhouse with the fake façade that was turned into a creepy subway vent? Well, the home next door is for sale for $6M. I always wondered what it was like to live next to this creepy building.

BTW, Now you can "explore" the house at 58 Joralemon Street, one of Brooklyn's great mysteries, in a Myst-like desktop game. It was created by a neighbor.       https://58joralemon.vercel.app

If you’re standing facing 58 Joralemon, it’s the house to the left at 60 Joralemon St. So, let’s have a look.

Typical townhouse entrance. (I wonder if you hear the subway going by underneath.) Built in 1845 and on the market for the 1st time in 30 years, the 4-story townhouse features 4 marble working fireplaces, original pocket doors, original pine floors, antique chandeliers and wall sconces, and original ceiling medallions brushed with 14K gold.

The stately 19th-century townhouse has the necessary modern upgrades covered, and its historic interiors have been preserved.

On the parlor level are the home’s formal living and dining rooms.

The home’s layout has remained faithful to the way 19th-century townhouses were arranged.

Clean and ageless farmhouse kitchen with a built-in dining nook and a breakfast bar. Details like custom cabinetry, felt-lined utensil drawers, a SubZero wine fridge, and a second dishwasher make entertaining effortless.

A butler’s pantry with a dumbwaiter can ferry dishes between the two floors.

A cozy den/media room.

In keeping with its decorative period style, the home’s current owners had each of the four bedrooms hand-stenciled by artist Emma Tapley.

The primary suite occupies the entire 3rd floor, with a dressing room, his-and-hers closets, a study, and a marble-clad en-suite bath.

On the fourth floor are three more bedrooms and another full bath.

Just outside the kitchen is a landscaped patio spans the width of the townhouse plus that of its neighbor; apparently, a subway vent has no use for an urban oasis.

The unfinished cellar is ideal for storage and has a side-by-side washer-dryer and utility sink. I wonder where the train and all that is, in relation to the basement.

Brick Club, 1.4 entire (retro)

Cosette's story often has such a fairy-tale feel, and it starts with this  section (what should I be calling these chunks of text? the X.X sections as a whole, not the X.X.X ones? Volumes?) .

And yet I'm not at all sure why I get that feeling quite so strongly, in terms of narrative technique.  The initial namelessness of the cast, with Two Mothers echoing the way people in fairy tales are Mothers and Millers and Eldest Daughters?  But if Fantine is presented as if she was s stranger to us again, it's not different than what happens with JVJ, and his story never feels this way.  The  Three Sisters made by Cosette, Eponine , and Azelma maybe? That's a very fairy-tale motif indeed.   Something about the way the inn itself is described..?

Augh, I absolutely cannot put my finger on it.   Still,  something about this passage feels as ominous and certain and doomed  as if the inn was a gingerbread cottage and Fantine was vowing to keep silent for seven years while making shirts out of nettles.

Notes on Various Things under the cut:

-  love that the inn sign is really badly made. I've seen several attempts at it in various adaptations and they're always a disaster and it's excellent, I want a collection.

-  the cart is covered with "the same ugly yellow mud sometimes used to decorate cathedrals".  The cart that is A Metaphor for outdated social institutions.  I see you, Hugo. 

- I will FIGHT Hugo about peasant/working class women's clothing in this era, this outfit would be super charming!  But it's definitely more about utility and practical wear than Fantine's old outfits.   There are roughly a billion dissertations to be written about the way that things working class people do and use are , through history, treated as inherently ugly/undesirable, regardless of how much art and beauty might actually have gone into it; I feel like the classism kinda speaks for itself on that.  And then,since Hugo's already drawn a huge Romantic Aesthetic defining line between the Useful and the Beautiful  in this book, I think  I can fairly just quote Gautier's explanation of the issue -- "Nothing is really beautiful but that which cannot be made use of; everything that is useful is ugly, for it is the expression of some need, and the needs of man are vile and disgusting, like his poor, weak nature" -- and leave this for now.  I suspect it will come up again. 

- Fantine has been "marked by irony" --that is, scarred by her time with Tholomyes.  I do like the way  this new line on her face sounds almost like a dueling scar. Fantine's a fighter in her own way!

- ...Tholomyes is gonna make it to at least 1828, meaning he'll outlive everyone we love in this story except Cosette and Marius.    And he'll do it while being  "always a man of pleasure"--I feel like there's an implicit suggestion that Cosette has a lot of half-siblings in the world, all of them with a story as important as hers, if only people would take them seriously. 

- ...as a Somewhat Taller Than Average woman myself, I am rather delighted by Hugo's obvious terror of women who are Not Tiny.   ( And I realize I'm probably Reaching to think that Mme T might have been much happier and more well-adjusted if she weren't trying to cram her giant self into a tiny box of Ideal Femininity?  Maybe she'd have been much more ok if she'd  been able to go into showbiz and get famous as  a weightlifter or something. )

But I do think there's a real sort of sadness to her introductory chapters.  She had an ideal dream for her own life , and it wasn't even a particularly ambitious one--just a love story, really-- and it's fallen through as much as anyone else's hoped-for Ideal in the novel. She's still trying to hang onto it at this point, but we're already given a glimpse of the future  when she'll not only have given up on that ideal, but come to despise herself for it.  This is no way absolves her of her cruelty towards others, but I think she's a more complex villain (and she is  a villain) than she's sometimes treated as. 

- Fantine does try to lie about having been married, here! ...but she also comes right out and tells people she's making a financial Deal with exactly how much money she has, and how much she's able to give over, before it's all settled.  It's  painful how ill-prepared she is to deal with this kind of economic manipulation (and I think "prepared" is really relevant; she's had no one more naturally skilled or experienced to teach her how to handle these things, and business negotiations, which this is, are incredibly complicated) . 

Seeing how much money Mme T gets for Cosette's fine clothes makes me strongly suspect that Fantine was severely underpaid for pawning her own fancy things--unless, and I guess this is possible, her "putting all her finery" on Cosette  is meant to be literal, and Cosette's current clothes are directly made of Fantine's old fancy outfits. 

- Fantine tries to lie about having been married , and the neighbors *see* her crying as she leaves Cosette, and Cosette must have been well dressed and all for that first months or so...but still, everyone believes the Thenardiers when they start telling the town that Cosette is an abandoned, illegitimate child.  They believe it because Cosette looks the part, and Cosette looks the part because the Thenardiers force her into it.  In so many ways, Fantine is never in control of  the narrative about her child, and What People Say about them does indeed matter more than anything she does--no amount of effort, no show of love, can save her and Cosette when everyone else  has decided they're socially damned. 

...but on the less thematic and more practical side,how on earth are the Thenardiers learning about her marital status? Seriously, was this freely avaialable info?  This  issue is something that comes up several times in the novel and I really have no idea what access to people's family records was like? 

- we get our first negative association with a cat , hm 

- ...workers have "generous impulses", huh?  (also I am not at all sure if the corresponding Bourgeois Respectability is meant to be entirely a good thing, but I'm not sure it's NOT , like I would be with Some Writers? Agh) 

- The Thenardiers' animal souls are : 

French: écrevisses 

Hapgood: crab-like FMA: crabs Rose: crayfish  Donougher: lobsters

Google Translate agrees with Rose, but I wonder if this isn't one of those words that was colloquially used to mean a general category of creatures in its day --Things Like a Crayfish/lobster/crab-- and has come to mean something very specific now?

-  ..y'know, what really kills me about Cosette in this every time is how everyone , *everyone*  in this town really either believes she deserves her abuse, or thinks it's BETTER than she deserves.  This is not happening in secret, behind closed doors, in a private house; it's at the public inn and very blatant. Everyone knows she's out in the cold , first up every morning, starving and beaten, in a home where the other kids somehow have more than enough (because their parents steal it from Cosette, directly).  And not one person in this discount Omelas even thinks it's bad , much less intervenes. It's a point in the Thenardiers'  favor, socially.   This isn't just the gamins of Paris being brushed aside,this is a whole town actively citing horrible child abuse as the Moral and Good Option that elevates the people doing it.  

And in this, I suppose, Cosette shares a history with Valjean-- they're  both put through absolutely horrific abuse , which is not just societally ignored, or accepted with jaded apathy ,  but openly lauded as morally correct.   I hate Montfermeil so much-- but Montfermeil is not really different from Arras, or Digne, or any other place where people think that abuse of the "deserving" is a Good Thing.
