i am apparently really late on the uptake
O hai kids.
Pierian SpringsErnest Hemingway // otro_loco_masThis means 'another crazy person' in Spanish and is a phrase used to refer to the narrator of "A Clean Well-Lighted Place." The bartender of the café calls him this. It is a great story and you should all read it. (It is also short.) Also, my Hemingway tends to think he is a little crazy, so I thought it was quite apropos.
Dorothy Parker // parkerthelushLOLOLOL LIZ IS REALLY UNCREATIVE AND DOT IS A DRUNK.
Charles Perrault // des_moralitesHis fairy tales always had morals at the end. Morality tales. In French, morals =
des moralités.
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch // Leo Sachet // leoinfursSacher-Masoch's most famous work was
Venus in Furs. It was also said to be a rather semi-autobiographical. He was kind of a fucked-up dude, Sacher-Masoch was.
E. B. White // Andie White // trumpeting_swanOne of E. B. White's most well-known children's books was
The Trumpet of the Swan. I would have tried something with
Charlotte's Web but I was lazy. Or it wasn't working. I can't remember. It's very late.
Laura Ingalls Wilder // Laura Ingalls // iam_halfpintThe real Laura Ingalls' nickname was Half-Pint. Her Pa always called her 'a pint of sweet cider half-drunk up,' and Half-Pint for short. So. Laura is Half-Pint. Probably one of the cleverer usernames I've done. Or not.
Stage LeftCordelia // Cori Lawrence // fortunes_frownFrom the lines in
King Lear: "We are not the first / Who, with best meaning, have incurr'd the worst. / For thee, oppressed king, am I cast down; / Myself could else out-frown false
fortune's frown." This is basically right before Cordelia dies. :/
Peter Pan // till_m0rningFrom the line "second [star] to the right, and straight on
till morning." I hate using numbers in usernames, but I couldn't get it to work any other way.
A Royal PainCatherine Howard // Kat Howard // withoutathornHenry VIII once called Catherine "a rose without a thorn."
He later had her executed.
Hugh le Despenser // Spencer Hughes // lying_inwaitI'm not quite sure
how I came up with this one. It might have just been a phrase I picked up from his Wikipedia page and thought it was fitting. Anyway. I think it is fitting. Also, I love Spencer.
Marie Antoinette // Anna Hapsburg // diamantdauphineDiamant is French for 'diamond,' and Marie Antoinette got into some trouble with a scandal intended to discredit her and the French monarchy. It involved some really hideous diamond necklace. Also, before Marie Antoinette was Queen, she was the Dauphine, which is the French royal princess, heiress to the throne, etc.
Mary Tudor // Meredith Tudor // nevercryyyHenry VIII used to brag in company about his daughter, Mary: "This girl never cries." She's a tough cookie.
Robin Hood // Robbie Sherwood // robbingtherichRob the rich to feed the poor. If you've ever seen the Disney movie (which you should because it's clearly the best. OOOOO-DE-LALLYYYYYY!), they say this, like, nine thousand times. It's basically Robin Hood's credo.
I'm too lazy to do the ones for the characters I've dropped. I may add them at some point.
