Take a look at the wild, bold, colorful, and naughty designs that have swelled men's chests throughout necktie history. Follow the development of this manly fashion, from fabrics to tie care, and enjoy an astounding kaleidoscope of colors and motifs. Hundreds of neck and bow ties from the late twentieth century are displayed in 340 color pictures. The designs range from the incredible "Bold Look" ties of the late 1940s and early 1950s to the thinly conservative ties of the late 1950s. The early 1960s produced mundane ties, but Pop, Op, and Psychedelic Art ushered in another era in the late 1960s and early 1970s called the "Peacock Look," characterized by extremely wide ties and extravagantly wild prints. Finally, take a tour of the stylistic progression ties made through the 1980s and 1990s.

If season 1 of Bridgerton happens in 1813 and season 2 confirms the existence of Napoléon ("[she] believes that Napoléon fights for the Spanish"), then I had BETTER be hearing all about Wellington and Napoléon's defeat at Waterloo when I finally see season 3.

Someone with artistic talent draw Astarion as Miles Edgeworth, please!

Larian really missed an opportunity by having Wyll sign an objectively shit contract in act 3 when he’s got Astarion, the magistrate, right there. I wanna see him, glitter gel quill in hand, go over those terms and conditions and absolutely rake Mizora over the coals. wyll’s got a set release date and health insurance by the end of it

Book 1 of Les Mis ("A Just Man") was all about Bishop Myriel, who I'm assuming is the novel's main character, so I'm excited to see how his journey continues in future books. Here are some predictions of future Les Mis Book titles, from the @lesmisletters discord server:

Les Mis Book 2: Myriel Goes to the Big City

Myriel 2: Electric Boogaloo

Bishop Myriel: The Winter Soldier (the soldier is the Conventionist G--.)

Bishop Myriel: The French Empire Strikes Back ("somehow, Napoleon returned." The story of the 100 days.)

The Bishop of the Digne: Return of the King (the king has returned for real this time we swear no more revolutions.)

Bishop Myriel and the Chamber of Secrets

Bishop Myriel and the Chambre Introuvable

Bishop Myriel and the Prisoner of Toulon

Myriel: Folie a Deux (somehow a musical book starring lady Gaga as the love interest, the bandit Cravatte)

Glass Onion: A Bishop Myriel Mystery

Bishop Myriel: Attack of the Clones

Myriel 2: the Wrath of Khan

Bishop Bienvenu: Fury Road

Man of Silver

Myriel vs Count of Monte Cristo

Just Man League

(this entire post)

Madame Magloire: Origins

Bishop Myriel: Across the BishopVerse

Catching up on Les Mis letters for this year so I thought I’d share all my thoughts on the canine imagery from volume 1 book 1 in the same post.

The first instance of canine imagery in book 1 shows up in chapter 1.1.7 when Myriel wishes to cross the mountains to visit a small community of shepherds. The mayor warns him not to leave without an escort because of the threat of bandits but Myriel refuses the escort and tells the mayor he has no reason to fear them.

“But the brigands, Monseigneur?” “Hold,” said the Bishop, “I must think of that. You are right. I may meet them. They, too, need to be told of the good God.” “But, Monseigneur, there is a band of them! A flock of wolves!” “Monsieur le maire, it may be that it is of this very flock of wolves that Jesus has constituted me the shepherd. Who knows the ways of Providence?”

Wolves in Les Mis often represent two things - their position as powerful apex predators is often used to represent that a person has dangerous, malicious or violent intentions, but they’re also contrasted with dogs, a domestic canine with close proximity to human society, to show the ways certain people are prohibited from being part of society, usually because they’re in extreme poverty or are a criminal. Wolves are canines who are not allowed to participate in human society, and dogs are canines who are. Lots of people who are both violent and criminals get assigned wolf imagery, including Thenardier and Montparnasse.

In this case Cravatte and his bandits are wolves because they’re a dangerous group of highway robbers, but Myriel is also the shepherd for a flock of wolves because he’s the kind of bishop who goes out of his way to try and offer help to people who have otherwise been abandoned or cast out by the rest of society, including people like Valjean and Cravatte who had a reputation for being dangerous.

I love the way the imagery of Myriel being the shepherd for a flock of wolves ties in to the Christian symbolism of Jesus as a shepherd too it creates such a perfect mental image for me that represents this part of Myriel’s character so well 👌

Wolf imagery also shows up in the next chapter, 1.1.8, during Myriel’s conversation with the senator.

I am not enthusiastic over your Jesus, who preaches renunciation and sacrifice to the last extremity. ’Tis the counsel of an avaricious man to beggars. Renunciation; why? Sacrifice; to what end? I do not see one wolf immolating himself for the happiness of another wolf.

The reader is supposed to dislike the senator so him specifically comparing his personal philosophy to the behaviour of wolves might just be another way for Hugo to emphasise that he’s The Wrong One in this conversation. It could also be Hugo trying to make a point that a good society requires people to act with compassion and make sacrifices for each other or we may as well just be wolves instead of men? (violent and dangerous metaphorical wolves at least, not real wolves lol) I feel like parts of this chapter are definitely going over my head because it contains so much of Hugo’s Opinion on contemporary discussions so there might be something I’m missing here too.

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Cravatte, LM 1.1.7 (Les Miserables - Takahiro Arai)

He would take neither his sister nor Madame Magloire. He traversed the mountain on mule-back, encountered no one, and arrived safe and sound at the residence of his “good friends,” the shepherds. He remained there for a fortnight, preaching, administering the sacrament, teaching, exhorting. When the time of his departure approached, he resolved to chant a Te Deum pontifically. He mentioned it to the curé. But what was to be done? There were no episcopal ornaments. They could only place at his disposal a wretched village sacristy, with a few ancient chasubles of threadbare damask adorned with imitation lace. “Bah!” said the Bishop. “Let us announce our Te Deum from the pulpit, nevertheless, Monsieur le Curé. Things will arrange themselves.” They instituted a search in the churches of the neighborhood. All the magnificence of these humble parishes combined would not have sufficed to clothe the chorister of a cathedral properly. While they were thus embarrassed, a large chest was brought and deposited in the presbytery for the Bishop, by two unknown horsemen, who departed on the instant. The chest was opened; it contained a cope of cloth of gold, a mitre ornamented with diamonds, an archbishop’s cross, a magnificent crosier,—all the pontifical vestments which had been stolen a month previously from the treasury of Notre Dame d’Embrun. In the chest was a paper, on which these words were written, “From Cravatte to Monseigneur Bienvenu.” “Did not I say that things would come right of themselves?” said the Bishop. Then he added, with a smile, “To him who contents himself with the surplice of a curate, God sends the cope of an archbishop.” “Monseigneur,” murmured the curé, throwing back his head with a smile. “God—or the Devil.” The Bishop looked steadily at the curé, and repeated with authority, “God!” When he returned to Chastelar, the people came out to stare at him as at a curiosity, all along the road. At the priest’s house in Chastelar he rejoined Mademoiselle Baptistine and Madame Magloire, who were waiting for him, and he said to his sister: “Well! was I in the right? The poor priest went to his poor mountaineers with empty hands, and he returns from them with his hands full. I set out bearing only my faith in God; I have brought back the treasure of a cathedral.”

Hit 1862 novel Les Misérables has many wonderful book and chapter titles, but which one is the Best?? The people (i.e. tumblrinas) shall determine once and for all.

We’ll start with choosing the best translation for each title (or at least, all the ones that have differences between translations beyond slight spelling/punctuation variances etc— skipped ones are under the cut), and then we shall continue on to matching up titles! …there are a lot, it will be a long haul. But We Shall Persevere. To start, I’ll try to queue up one book’s-worth of titles over about 1-2 days. If a chapter appears to be skipped, check under the cut— it’s likely there is no disagreement or insignificant disagreement between translations.

English language translations because they’re the only ones I’m familiar with, sorry! I’ll put what translation is from what translator(s) under the cut, but will leave it out of the polls.

If I make an error in a poll, please let me know!
