tea or hot chocolate? cozy books or halloween movies? plaid or corduroy? foggy mornings or twinkly nights? orange or black? pumpkin or apple pie? wool or velvet? picking fruit or carving pumpkins? libraries or coffee shops? cinnamon or peanut butter? spooky or cozy halloween? candles or fairy lights?
Y’know? I relate to Persephone as fuck because I would eat a pomegranate too if half a year I can escape my family and go to the Underworld with a three-headed dog and an edgy, dark life-partner whom I love. Also, I like flowers.
My long-suffering drama teacher: Please, for the love of God, just pick a standard teenager monologue, you don’t have to love it, just learn it, get a good grade and move on
Me, pretending not to listen, having completely ignored the “Teenagers” section, quickly scrolling through the “Women’s” section, headed straight for the “Men’s”: Hmmm, and what if i chose a monologue literally written for a 40-year-old man, how does that sound to you 🙂
Me, thinking about Jean Valjean and how he worked so hard to improve himself and found people who loved him and how he has genuinely helped me to better understand my own identity and morality and value and understand the way I experience love: wHat is This??Who authorised these emotions?? Why did I allow that man to touch my soul and teach me love??
We all know I Highkey Project Onto Javert All The Time and am hopelessly in love with Valjean but I feel like I don’t talk about how much I project onto and relate to Anxiety Man Jean Valjean too. Because like, it’s A Lot.
@anikofromearth I have a feeling there might be more references to him dissociating but the only one coming to mind right now is when he’s in Toulon and the world around him doesn’t feel real
Everything which had happened to him seemed to him absurd; everything that surrounded him seemed to him impossible. He said to himself, “It is a dream.” He gazed at the galley-sergeant standing a few paces from him; the galley-sergeant seemed a phantom to him. All of a sudden the phantom dealt him a blow with his cudgel.
Also it’s not like, explicit canon dissociation but if you squint then his identity issues could also resemble depersonalisation. (Maybe. Just let me have this okay. I’m the one projecting here)
As for other Generally Relatable Things:
Asexual? Very Confused About Love
P A N I C
Has deep emotional connections with maybe like… 2 people?
Everything going well? How about another moral crisis!
Just wants to be left alone with his books and his garden
Uses detached kindness as a coping mechanism
Too much empathy. Please dial down the empathy a bit. I Want To Fix All The Problems But I Can’t
I’m oversharing now aren’t I?
Self loathing
Yeah definitely oversharing I’m going to regret saying all of this
I just want to be buff why can’t I just relate to Valjean without all of This
Used to be Edgy And Angry, now Soft and Strong
A few other things but I don’t want to say them
Asjdndkfnf I already want to delete this psychoanalyse me while you can folks
@javerttt please refer to point 4 for your regularly scheduled crisis!
