But “overreacting” is relative right?
Pb: Rayle Earts
Life is just relearning you’re a lesbian every day. A he/them lesbian in my case.
Okay @ the anon who asked of my les mis tag. You inspired me to better myself so now i have made additional tags besides #les mis and #les mis letters:
#les memes (for memes)
#enj (for enjolras)
#gran (for grantaire)
#amis (for les amis)
#enjoltaire (for enjoltaire who would have thought)
I cant promise i will tag all my old posts but i’ll try to clean this place up a bit
While mlm contents are getting loads of promotion and in turn public attention and even bigger platforms, wlw contents are getting screwed (with $0 promotion) and axed left and right. While mlm audiences can sit around choosing what they want to watch, wlw audiences literally are moving mountains to try keeping even one ounce of their contents alive.
Of course everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community face discrimination and are in the minority when it comes to on screen representations. But it’s frustrating to see how contents featuring queer non-men are disproportionately getting screwed over and over again in recent times.
“Joly will go to Dupuytren’s clinical lecture, and feel the pulse of the medical school.”
Puns are serious in politics.
More seriously, this chapter is nice in how it shows Enjolras’ love for his friends. He knows them really well, as demonstrated by their assignments. Courfeyrac, for instance, gets to utilize his social skills and general friendliness with the students who have the day off, whereas Joly gets to talk to fellow medical students and Bossuet gets to handle the law students. Picpus seems to have been a working class neighborhood with many craftsmen, suiting Combeferre’s curious nature. La Glacière was where ice was collected in winter to store for summer, so we can assume this was also a working class area suited to Feuilly, just as the Romantic Prouvaire is suited to a masonic lodge.
I tried to find information on the Cougourde, but the text for this chapter came up instead.
While it’s nice to see Enjolras’ knowledge of his friends from an emotional perspective, it also illustrates that he’s a good leader, utilizing each of their strengths to further their cause. He even remembers (and accurately describes) Marius, who doesn’t even show up anymore!
Grantaire may scold Enjolras as an “ingrate” here, but he did call republican ideas “twaddle,” so Enjolras is justified in being skeptical of him. The allusions in what Grantaire says are mainly to writings from the time of the French Revolution or that were very influential in it (like Rousseau’s Social Contract). The Hébertists were a radical group during the Revolution. He errs in saying the “constitution of the year Two” (there were constitutions for years I and III, but not II), but I believe he paraphrases the Declaration of the Rights of Man? So Grantaire does know what he’s talking about; he just isn’t making much of a point. As we’ve seen with his other speeches, he’s clearly well-educated from the breadth of what he alludes to, but he’s not really motivated politically.
The Robespierre waistcoat is such a dramatic touch.
And not to say too much about Enjolras loving his friends, but this!!:
“He composed, in his own mind, with Combeferre’s philosophical and penetrating eloquence, Feuilly’s cosmopolitan enthusiasm, Courfeyrac’s dash, Bahorel’s smile, Jean Prouvaire’s melancholy, Joly’s science, Bossuet’s sarcasms, a sort of electric spark which took fire nearly everywhere at once.”
He cares so much!

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
Note the date, people:
29 years before AVEN was started online,
and 47 years before the present.
And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.
So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.
if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.
this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.
incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

Les Mis Musical: they were schoolboys, never held a gun...no one ever told them a summer day could kill...they were so naiive to believe their revolution could succeed. This is why they call em revolutions, they keep spinning and nothing changes...rebelling against state power is impossible...
The Revolution of 1830 AKA The July Revolution AKA "The Second French Revolution", a successful rebellion that occurred in Paris literally only two years before the June Rebellion (but because of moderate politicians ended with a new more progressive King being installed to replace the ultra-conservative King, instead of the total elimination of monarchy), a rebellion which Victor Hugo writes an entire digression about in the novel when discussing how it influences 1832, and which Les Amis would've taken some part in:
