UNTITLED by Machi Tawara
Taking my bruised heart,
I hurl it with all my might -
let tomorrow's skies be clear!

Disclaimer: I am not someone who cares that much about actors. As my girlfriend will attest, half the time, I can't actually tell one (white) Hollywood celeb apart from the other (white Hollywood celeb). That said, sometimes someone sticks even with me and Àstrid Bergés-Frisbey is one of those people. Why? Because she's the PB of my longest-running OC. Because I've seen her films? Well. I did see that one French historical drama she was in once? And I didn't like it? Not because of her, mind, but just the subject matter of it was a bit dated. Àstrid stays with me because she's incredibly beautiful and just perfect for Marguerite (originally a modern AU of Marguerite Gautier from The Lady of the Camellias by Dumas), later Madeleine, now Marie. Variations over the same theme, made more and more mine. Marguerite wouldn't recognise Marie and Marie doesn't think she's got much in common with Marguerite. Except Àstrid, they have Àstrid in common.
And just look at her! This picture is so fun and playful and a litte bit chaotic. Probably more in Marie's spirit than in Marguerite's, if I have to be honest, but the smile was what counted when I iconned it all those years ago.

À PEU PRÈS - POMME
Staying in France, Pomme was an artist I stumbled across some time ago and as with Stromae from yesterday, practically everything she touches becomes gold. I love her lyrical, soft style, along with the quirkiness and queerness. Always lovely to see the latter represented in popular music. This is one of my favourite songs by her and the video is a lot of fun, tbh. But her voice, guys. Her voice!

Today is going to be the laziest, most laid-back day ever, because the past week has literally worn me out with exactly nothing happening. The sun is shining, so I really ought to go for a walk, but honestly I think I'm just gonna prioritize staying at home and do exactly what I feel like, from moment to moment.
Like, this morning I went from answering Odette tags to reading an old writing project I made a couplee of years ago to getting in the mood for Marie, so it's all a bit unstable, honestly. The writing project is a gothic Christmas calendar I wrote for my gf in 2019, I think - before the pandemic and rereading it now, years later, I'm still proud of it. It's solid in its writing and very poetic, so I might end up reposting it to AO3 at some point.
Currently, I'm looking at my tea mug and considering whether I should make another cup for myself. That, ladies and gents, is pretty much the extent of what I can do with myself right now.

I've been picking out TFLN prompts for Marie, because I think that's the route I'm taking today, but honestly, with how my focus is all over the place, who the fuck knows. Who the fuck knows.
