Il faut être toujours ivre. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du temps qui brise vos épaules, il faut s'enivrer sans trêve. De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous!.

- Charles Baudelaire

Their friendship is everything to meeeee

It's so interesting that Jack actually knows very little about Stephen's past (and at this point they've known each other for 16 books and 10-15 years depending on how you want to count 1813 in the O'Brianverse), but he's completely fine with this! He just trusts Stephen anyway!

(And it's interesting to get this kind of emotional context for Stephen's distaste for Dutourd and his democratic/utopian demagoguery. Stephen is generally much more progressive-minded than the other major characters, but he has participated in revolutions in his time and has gotten thoroughly disillusioned.)

wang yibo - WWD article mention / source

Chinese star Wang Yibo debuted a new bleach-blonde hairstyle with a white jacket for the show. He said he was a fan of the set, which was arranged like a house and decorated in large florals. “Looking outside the windows, it’s like a painting. Collectively they look like still films. I like the clash of colors.”

He planned to take in the architecture and make the most of his Paris experience with the country’s most famous beverage. He added: “French red wine is very tasty.”

my energy has been low lately so i've stuck to just liveblogging chapter releases, but i was thinking earlier about why lore olympus really nettles me and it's truly indicative of a wider issue.

it's disappointing that a major ancient religion that is still practiced by some people today has been reduced to a caricature of itself, and i say this knowing that there are thousands of reinterpretations of the greek myths, there will always be a new opinion or retelling of them. retelling the myth of hades and persephone isn't necessarily the issue, so much as the constant and dripping disdain to the cultural roots. we don't need to be greek to appreciate the story, but why remove everything greek from it? why westernize every aspect and remove ties to the cultural roots? why whitewash everything from a myth thousands of years old?

part of the reason these myths continue to resonate with us is because the themes are still relevant today. the loss of a child, the struggle against impossible forces, the (often patriarchal) powers against you, a mothers love. these stories hold power, they gave hope and inspiration, they created meaning and connection, and they were vital to the people who lived in that time, in that place. they will resonate with us for many years still, but stripping the roots and core of it out only makes it a hollow, shallow imitation. it's reality tv with neon colours, no love or heritage present; it's cold and shiny and plastic, and it insults what it claims to portray.
