1. I got Christmas cards from

goss, and

sholio! Thank you so much; they are so lovely. I do so enjoy receiving cards. :)

2. Emma turned 15 today. I can't believe it. Where did all the time go?

3. Since the actor who voices Cyborg on Teen Titans Go became a regular character on The Walking Dead, I've had an intense longing for King Ezekiel to bust into "The Night Begins to Shine." LOL

3. From a World Lit essay: When Beowulf was younger, he was described as very selfless. A lot of his selfless acts would be for his own benefit.

The Professor by Charlotte Brontë

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting and quick read. Although published after her death, The Professor is actually Bronte's first book, and in it I see antecedents of both Villette and Jane Eyre.

The narrator of the book is a young man whose mother married beneath her station and was then snubbed by the family; William's family treats him coldly as a result; his brother is very cruel to him (shades of Jane Eyre). He goes off to seek his fortune in Brussels and works as a teacher at a boarding school; he is extremely contemptuous of Catholicism (shades of Villette).

William is very frank about how easily he could fall into the temptation offered by the mistress of a girls' school; she's interested in him but is marrying the master of the boarding school where William teaches. When they marry, she will be living in the same establishment as William, and he foresees himself eventually succumbing to her flirtations, so he leaves.

The woman William eventually marries is adamant about continuing to work after marriage; it is presented as vital to her well-being and sense of fulfillment, and William is supportive and understanding of that need. In their relationship, there's a little too much of the he's her master and she willingly submits to him that gets on my nerves from time to time in Jane Eyre, but on the whole, I think they are well suited for each other and mutually beneficial.

Overall, good read.

If you're not watching this show, I highly recommend it. It's weird and convoluted, and the characters are so endearing. I think sweet is an odd word to apply to a show that is frequently deeply strange and violent, but it is sweet. I love it.

1. For Yuletide this year, I wrote how far away the stars seem (and how far is our first kiss), a Lucifer/Amenadiel fic in the Lucifer fandom. I originally intended it to fulfill my assignment and then realized halfway in that unasked for sibling incest in an exchange fest is not a cool move. LOL I disliked in the show the way that Lucifer reacted to the reveal that Amenadiel is losing his powers, specifically that his glorious wings are ruined. I wanted Lucifer to be more horrified, more sympathetic, and offer some comfort. So that's the story I wrote for Treat #1.

For my recipient, I wrote His Brother's Keeper, which is Lucifer and Amenadiel gen that looks at them in childhood and then again once Lucifer is on earth. In this story, I wanted to explore those sibling dynamics without sexytimes and also include Uriel.

Treat #2 is The Yellow Wallpaper (the spinning jennie remix). I had a really fun time with the prompt, which asked for a story in which the supernatural elements of the original are really happening instead of being merely psychological manifestations of the narrator's mental state. So I wrote a ghost story from Jennie's perspective.
