So, It Took A Long Time, But I Didn’t Turn It Away.

Cause that’s when Damen’s the bigger man.

Damen is one foot taller than Laurent and that is important information

BOOK - LOCKWOOD & CO

So I was re-reading The Screaming Staircase again and I came across the part in chapter 9 where only Lucy comes back after setting the Hope’s house on fire and Lockwood is taken off to the hospital and George was scared crapless.

After reading The Empty Grave however which reveals why Lockwood is so reckless, I couldn’t help thinking that maybe the reason he’s always dressed to the flipping tens (big coat, dress shirt, probable waistcoat, doesn’t wear jeans (think BBC’s Sherlock if you want visuals)), is because what he wears is the one thing he’d be able to control about what his ghost would come back like.

Captive Prince livejournal commentary facts...

(from the chapter 9 commentary of book 1)

1. Vere was called Rabat in the original online series.

2. [On Damen...]

“I honestly had no idea when I started this story that Damen/Damian/Daman/Damon/Daemon is the #1 most overused name in online original slash fiction...You couldn't write a cross-over because it would be like, 'Hi, I'm Damen.' 'Oh hey, me too!'"

“I chose it naively, because onomatopoeically it gives an impression of no-frills strength (with its two strong syllables). And the ancient Greek name it derives from  'Damianos' originally means 'to tame' which amuses me no end.“

3. Jokaste was called Margaret in the original online series

"The name Margaret sounds so English and out of place in retrospect, but it is a Greek name. It means pearl. The Persian version is Morvarid, which I fell in love with, but didn't use because it has too much of an Evil Villainess feel to it.”

4. [On Nicaise...] 

“My beta calls him Salad, after Salad Nicoise. The other name in the running when I was naming him was 'Michelet', but I thought Nicaise just had that edge of bitchy flavour that suited his personality”

TV SHOW - SUPERNATURAL (S10? EP21)

When you’re so far gone and you forget whether a character died on this show

You think Loyse took the regent’s last survivor (the boy from the trial) under her wing? After everything settled down?

Like, "I couldn’t do right by Aimeric, but I’ll do right by you.”

To any writer who this has been done to.

It was not your fault.

I'll say it again, if you feel it was your fault because you can't write faster or upload faster, that is not true.

You took ALL the time you needed; you needed those thinking days, those procrastination days, those break days because you were tired and needed a rest from your fic for a little bit.

Because you put soul into your work. And that is something Chat GPT will never be able to recreate because it isn't built to do that.

You are.

This is the worst timeline. (x)

Addressing all Captive Prince fans...

This is the Pallas Cat.

Do with this information what you will.

BOOK - LOCKWOOD & CO

I was re-reading some of my favourite parts of TSS today and guess what I found that’s never mentioned again but hints at what we discover later in the series...

I wouldn’t put it past Shroud that, just for a few seconds, Lockwood thought Lucy was Jessica
