ECCE CORINNA VENIT

Corinna Borealis: n. A lone star around which a solar system of sapphic drama revolves.

Here, a girl in the District studies inflected languages and invents new cupcakes.

Stuff I blog about: Languages, Geography, Cartography, mythology, Social Justice, books, Doctor Who old and new, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Disney movies, My Little Pony, Lord of the Rings, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Sherlock Holmes in all of his his different flavors, 20th century history, corgis, my writing and anything else I damn well feel like.

How I identify: teacher, INTP, Capricorn, Ravenclaw, waterbender, urban hobbit, sun sign of John Watson with a moon sign of Sherlock Holmes lurking underneath

All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured.

bompstablecat: Beautiful hand-drawn map of Avonlea from The Anne of Green Gables and L.M. Montgomery Lexicon. “ I based my original, hand-drawn map of Avonlea on both the actual location of various places in Cavendish, and reconstructions found in The Anne of Green Gables Treasury, and a fan site, Notes on the Geography and Chronology of Green Gables. L. M. Montgomery writes that Avonlea is “to a certain extent Cavendish,” (Selected Journals, v.1, Aug. 16, 1907) yet there are pieces of other places transplanted into the landscape, like The Lake of Shining Waters at Park Corner or the Birch Path from Outing Magazine.”

Is it bad that I want to do that DVD commentary meme for the one fic I’m writing if I ever finish it? I feel like it’s egotistical. Also, hubristic since I’m not finished yet. On the other hand I get really excited just talking about writing so these feelings are to be expected.

Words update! I wrote about a thousand today and hope to continue tomorrow. Today’s writing featured 1. Grantaire sharing my “this shit is whack” feelings about Euripides’ Alcestis, 2. Bahorel joking about the possibility of carrying Grantaire bridal style, and 3. Jehan being a badass in the way a Jehan is. I kind of looked at myself strangely for number 2 but it made sense in context and no way am I dropping it now.
