Julien: absolutely not

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

Like. Hold on.

So, this man, who has had 1.5 semi-healthy relationships since the age of 12 and was ready to throw away his life two (2) days ago stands in front of probably his only real friend and whimpers that he is glad that he is important to her. "I like this, Murray..." Has he considered that if he had been executed Murray would have missed him? Like, is this a thought that has even occurred to him? "I like this, Murray..." Does it perhaps occur to him after this exchange, then? That he actually holds meaning in the life of others beyond his ability to be an attack dog? "I like this, Murray..." Does he maybe realize, despite his abandonment and self-esteem issues vaster than the sea in his eyes, that there is a chance for a genuine connection for him? Does he feel how starved he is for it?

And also Murray.

I don't remember her opening up to anyone in this campaign up until this point? She has a vulgar remark and a bullshit joke for everything, and it keeps her sane throughout everything that life throws at her. She projects confidence and nonchalance. But then this conversation happens, and suddenly she spills that she thinks that she is a "shit person" and just how much it meant to her that Thjazi apparently didn't think that! So apparently our boy started a conversation with a woman that doesn't quite see the hero that she is by praising her (and not for the first time, mind you), and not by pointing out her intelligence - which is important, because she knows that. She knows she is intelligent. No, Azune praises her heart, and her instincts, and just something unnameable at the core of her being. And she still says that she is a shit person because it hasn't gotten to her yet.

I am very emotional about this, alright?

It was not “I like this, Murray”. That implies he likes this specific instance. Which is true! But not the full meaning of what he was saying.

It was “I like this Murray”. Azune likes *this* Murray he’s been seeing while working on this. As someone who often has to speak quick to figure out an angle, Murray’s got different faces.

But this Murray? This is a woman who’s still brash and rough tumbled who also trusts her gut & heart and feels so strongly that she jumps into darkness for kids. Yet she still thinks she’s not a good person.

Except It’s not an act here. Not this plan. Not this sad, scary moment. Murray isn’t playing strings or speaking a tough game in that moment; she’s terrified for her school and students and what they’re doing. But she’s still moving forward and that gives him the courage to mention how he sometimes thinks she looks at him.

Because Azune likes this Murray.

This Murray? She’s the genuine article.

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
