Felt Like Drawing Everyone Again

I don’t think I’ll write another poem about far-off azure skies or refugee clouds…. You stand at my side in noon’s bleaching light.

I simply fix my eyes on you, thinking it’s enough if I believe — not in either flowers or birds but in your fathomless love.

- Tachihara Michizō, “Noon Again” from Of Dawn, of Dusk

rip henry winter you would have hated ai (but not cause it’s killing the environment) with a passion

rip bunny corcoran you would have loved using ai on every single assignment ever

more than i wish

i could reach inside of myself

and remove the part of me

that is wrong and hurting

the part that has ruined

so many good days

i wish i could fix for you

every single thing in your life

that makes it less than

you wish it could be

Camilla, the infantilization and victimization from the fandom towards her character:

Firstly, Camilla is a victim, yes. She is the victim of her brother, and of the things that surround her, Bunny's sexism, Richard's creepy hiperfixiation, Francis' jelousy. She is a victim, but everyone in the book is a victim of something.

What makes her different is that she is a victim of her brother and the sexism towards her. However, the over infantilization and victimization does not suit me well. To not aknowdlege that she was as bad as Francis or Henry, is to look down at her.

She was fine with the fact that they killed someone, she was fine with Bunny's death, (moved, perhaps, giving that scene where she cried, however I've always suspected that was merely acting that Henry asked from her), the thing is: she was fine.

She's not an angel, and not the mastermind behind it, but she's an adult, she knew pretty well that what they were doing was wrong, and yet she didn't told Richard or anyone. The thing is: if she were to say something, everyone would have believed her because she's a girl and would be seen as a victim, but she was not interested on that. She had the opportunity to talk to the police and be seen as a clean victim, she did not because she did not care. She did not felt guilt.

People act as if Camilla is a little girl, a child that knows no bad or good. She knew. She's a complex character, and most people cannot see that the fact that she's a victim does not erase that she's not an angel or innocent.

When she was sent into a date, she did not even seem upset or anything. For her, it was just something she had to do to get their way. Just a simple task, she was not a tool. You can't be a tool, if you're aware and positive about the task. We must remember Richard was scandalized by the fact that Camilla was having fun. It's not that deep, she had fun on a date, playing around because it was just something she had to do, she did not feel bad or used about it, because most possibly, she was sent by Henry.

And we know that she could have declined anything, Henry did favoured her. She could have say no to the bacchanal, or to Bunny's death, she could have been not included, but the thing is: she's as evil and morally strange as Henry and Francis, this does not apply to Charles, since he's a different type, giving to his guilt.

Readers forget the most basic thing: They all are bad people. They are not good, they are victims, yes, but they are also sickly out-of-touch individuals.

Camilla is as bad as them, do not idolize her, do not look down on her.
