THE LADY OF THE CAMELLIAS by Alexandre Dumas fils
Imagine, I have the bad habit of wanting to embarrass people the first time I meet them. It's very silly. My doctor says it is because I am high-strung and always sick - believe my doctor!

BONUS:
Take one look at Clèmence Poèsy in Birdsong (which I haven't seen outside gifs and icons) and tell me that she isn't the perfect PB for a r!63 Armand Duval. Upon a second reread, I realized that Armand is actually blond in canon (I always imagined him with jet black hair and curls, thanks for nothing, Stéphane Bullion) and ever since, I've been thinking that these icons I found a while ago would just be perfect for a female!Armand, hereby named Amandine. The only blonde Armand I could think of in ballet canon off the top of my head was Karl Paquette and finding gifs of him in that role is soooo hard. But I found this up here (from this video) and you look at these two gifs and tell me, Poèsy is not the perfect r!63 cast for him. I dare you. I will fight you over this. Okay, so the clothes is of a more recent date (think 50 years later), but most of my icons are headshots primarily, so it's not toooo obvious. I will still fight you.

PLAYLIST OF UNDERRATED FEMALE CLASSICAL COMPOSERS
I like classical music. I like women. I like the two combined. Thought I'd share, in case others on my list did, too. Myself, I was only really familiar with Mendelssohn and Schumann, so it was nice listening to some other examples of great female composers of bygone times.

I managed work today. And it was actually pretty good. I felt energized and good about myself afterwards, rather than drained and empty as has been the case the past few weeks. We made some plans for the next two months and I think it'll be okay. I actually think it might work. I really don't dare to hope too much, but the entire space just oozes understanding, you know? My mentor gets me and the conditions they make, I can exist within without too much trouble.
It could be good. It could be.
Then we went to look at K.'s secret project that I can't talk about, but it'll be amazing and I'm so happy for her. ♥ And so happy I had the energy to come with her today, although I'd also been to work. I really wanted to prioritize this, for her sake.
Practically speaking, I really think it helped that I slept more last night than I usually do and I'll aim for at least five consecutive hours tonight as well. I have tomorrow off completely, so it's just me time with plenty of room for RP and fandom, writing, formatting the Elio/Lucifer project, all those things that actually make me happy.
And it's my birthday on Sunday.

So I'm tinkering with an "Amandine" account and thinking maybe I can dip my toes a little bit back into RP again, if I don't go overboard with it. Otherwise, I think I'll try writing a r!63 Lady of the Camellias fanfic. I'm in that mode anyway, still working on my Julie Duprat one.
I posted the first two chapters of the Elio/Lucifer fanfic yesterday and got kudos by some weird miracle, so there's that. Someone out there besides K. and me were into this crack ship. Would you look at that.
