Dear anon, it is extremely kind of you to display this sort of interest in my status as a creature who continues to exist as an entity separate from her terrible pointless blog! On the other hand, I can’t say that I have the same strength of belief in myself, because all my waking hours are consumed by work and can I truly be said to exist if I have no consciousness of my own existence? What is the ontological status of a life that does not experience itself? Actually no, this is an irrelevant argument because all I want to be when I grow up is a hyena decked out in gold who has zero capacity for introspection. I think the real problem has nothing to do with philosophical questions, it’s just that MY LIFE IS SUPER BORING AND I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DRAW COMICS :( Jesus Christ, you are telling yourself, all I do is put in a brief request for content and I have to sit through some obnoxious patter about how she could be bounded in a nutshell and count herself the king of infinite space, were it not that she has bad dreams.More truly awful askbox answers under the cut, most of them from MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS AGO (I’m so sorry!!!!!) because I feel very rude making askbox posts so I put them off until this happens, and then I’m just a different kind of rude, so… I’m still working on being an adequate human being. AREN’T THEY GREAT?! THEY’RE SO GREAT AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Prometheus is so ornery and taciturn and thoughtful and HERMES IS A LITTLE SHIT ~but also surprisingly vulnerable~ kfl;dhg WHAT A FARCE, PAIRING RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS ARE ALWAYS SO HILARIOUS. In my mental sequel Hermes runs an anonymous blog about Arcadia’s coffeeshop scene and is just generally contemptuous of every single establishment and every single roast offered within municipal bounds. Prometheus is like, Well should we move then? To someplace with better coffee? And Hermes is like ARE YOU FOR REAL? WHO WOULD I MAKE FUN OF THEN??? ;____; Thank you, I will do my best! Honestly I think the blog might be so all over the place that even if I did update more frequently, there would be very little guarantee that the updates would be content that you would enjoy seeing… but you have made your petition, you must live with the consequences now. Let your regrets warm you in the hellish wasteland you will have wrouuuuught She’s just SO PUT-UPON and I love that about her :’) I think whenever Troy comes up I try to force Polydamas into the conversation in whatever strained way I can because I love Polydamas so much, but in my head they share that kind of exhausted long-suffering deadpan attitude that I’m so fond of! They know better than anybody around them and they’re super fed up with it, but also they’re fundamentally decent people so FUCK THIS, I’M OUT OF HERE isn’t an option for them and therefore they must endure another day surrounded by idiots who don’t give them the credit they deserve. (This is not a mythologically rigorous reading, but leave me to my vices!)Ooh what if they got together for regular vent sessions over tea, wow new headcanon accepted v v v Anon I probably would have done the same. It always seems to be the case that certain objectionable folks are very charming in person, especially one-on-one, which I suppose is 1. part of why they hold the power they hold, and 2. a luxury they have because they’re not fighting for anything. Also if I’m perfectly honest I haven’t kept up with Harold Bloom’s opinions, if he’s changed his mind since his I MUST DEFEND THE DISCIPLINE AGAINST THEORY AND POLITICS days then I wouldn’t know about it! In the end I just hope that anyone he still has structural authority over is having an okay time of it all. Ahhhh I’m so sorry anon, I didn’t read RoTK in an English translation so I’m afraid I don’t have firsthand recommendations! I have heard some good things about the Moss Roberts translation, though– maybe leafing through that to see if it’s your cup of tea might work!I find that food does the best job of soothing over diaspora guilt, but also I recognize that not everyone has that kind of wildly emotional relationship with food, so try having food next to the RoTK books and consuming both of them at once for maximum effect(???) Godspeed you anon, my thoughts are with you. MY GOD THIS IS SO PRECIOUS thank you so much for the work you put into it!!! omg the background music is amazing and you guys have such fabulous delivery and the pacing is ACES ALL AROUND, would watch this anime ceaselessly *___* Thank you again, I am VERKLEMPT AT YOUR TALENTI WANNA LINK IT SOME MORE TIMES IN A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN MY LOVESOGOOD Hahahaha anon I think it’s so great that you had this experience with LM and you were like hmm you know who I’m going to tell about this… that weirdo on the Internet that makes too many comics about Courfeyrac being a wreck of a human being. But that was absolutely the right choice to have made, because THE WEIRDO IS OVERJOYED TO HAVE HEARD THIS STORY! Tell me where your relationship with LM has gone since this message, have you accidentally fallen into the fandom and read a million fics? Have you moved to London? Have you MOVED TO PARIS? Are you standing outside of the dessert shop at 16 rue de la verrerie right now thinking about gay roommate shenanigans and unnerving the pastry chefs inside with your facial expressions???Actually I think it’s just as well that the musical isn’t entirely helpful in keeping the names straight, because some amount of confusion obfuscates the fact that Bahorel is missing altogether– and what’s any decent party without Bahorel! Nothing, that’s what. Too decent, that’s what. You say this as an expression of support and I thank you for it, but know that I will consider this a blood oath if I get a tenure-track job and end up publishing a monograph.
