the finale was pretty good but the final scene being an awkward solo dance party to non-diagetic music? not the best choice imo. also I always thought those wide dresses look dumb as hell

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)

the degree to which magic in bbc merlin is an allegory for queerness is insane. what do you mean people with magic hide in fear for their lives because it’s illegal. what do you mean merlin’s mother sent him away to the big city bc she was afraid of what would happen if their small town found out he had magic. what do you mean merlin is taken in by an unmarried old man who used to practice magic but can’t anymore. what do you mean morgana was morally on uther’s side until she realized who she was and that he was wrong for wanting people like her dead. what do you mean anti-magical propaganda spreads misinformation that all magic is evil and everyone who practices it is also evil and should be killed. what do you mean there’s a recurring underlying theme of magical being solidarity

Tumblr keeps popping up to sell me ad free dashboard. But what it doesn't understand is that me and the ads have a sort of symbiosis at this point.

Yes, having a crush on a fictional character is bad. But have you ever had a crush on a fictionalised version of a vaguely problematic historical figure??

It was weird, really…

…It came out of absolutely. nowhere. 

Peridot was sitting against Steven’s bed, watching Camp Pining Hearts with him as he ate those…popped corn things with a side of twisted candies…

…Until the teen suddenly got up like he saw some gem get brutally shattered, blushing profusely and slamming the pause button on the remote control…

Again: it came out of absolutely. nowhere! 

“Uhm…are you okay, Steven?" The smaller gem asked, glancing at the other worriedly. 

“What!?” The curly head teenager squeaked out, looking at the paused TV and then looking back at Peridot, “M-Mhm! Yup! I’m fine. Totes fine. Superb even.” The boy said nervously, fiddling with the remote controller as he refused to look at the gem next to him nor the small television now.

Peridot raised a confused brow, looking at the screen which was just Percy and Paulette’s talking paused. 

There wasn’t anything odd or weird happening…

…So…why did that he pause it in the first place? 

Besides, Steven watched this episode prior to Peridot watching it…so why was he so nervous all of a sudden?

“…Are you going to press play?” 

“Yeeeeeees...” The chocolate brown eyed teen said almost too quickly as he dragged out the singleword comically. 

“…So…thehen why don't you?" She giggled, trying to reach for the controller as the younger did literally everything in his power to not allow her to. “T-This episode sucks, Peri! Y-You don’t understand!“ Steven cried, putting the remote high in the air so the other couldn’t reach. 

“So???” The green gem huffed in amusement, “When has that ever stopped us from watching before???” She exclaimed as she swiftly snatched the object from the taller gem, trying to press play. 

The fluffy haired teenager let out a short squeak, trying to retrieve back the electronic. 

The two playfully fought, each of them trying to gain the upper hand as the remote got thrown and shoved like the last freshly baked biscuit. “Just give it back!!!” The teen said desperately.  

“Uhm…nohoh? I want to see what makes this episode so appalling for you to watch!” Peridot snickered in amusement. 

"It’s not appalling!”

“…You don’t even know what that word means, do you?”

“…W-WHATEVER!!” The younger gem huffed, starting to get more desperate to get the remote controller from the other but the other in question just simply pushed the teenager to the side, pressing play again as Steven let out a very well-timed gasp.

The episode started to play again and the fluffy haired teen got one of his pillow’s and put it up to his face, groaning loudly. 

The green cladded gem scratched her head in confusion about the weird action but didn’t question it…

…Too much, anyway…

Paulette was reaching for something on the cabin’s upper counter by using a stool— which— Peridot could relate to 101%.

And as Paulette was searching for…whatever she was searching for, Percy came into the cabin, of course, making his presence very much known. 

As the episode played out, Steven pressed the pillow more and more to his face, looking away from the TV as the audio bounced around the walls.  

Acceptance was the first step to healing, I suppose…

Percy snuck behind Paulette and tased her sides before wrapping her in a hug and tickling her stomach…how cute. 

The red head let out an inhuman screech, flailing her arms around at the new sensation as the blonde continued to tickle her mercilessly. 

An small all-knowing smirk spread over the shorter gem’s features, shooting a glance to the other as the floofy haired teenager’s face basically luminated all the shades of the color red. 

Now, the green-hued gem was the one to pause the TV, setting down the remote as she fully faced the sixteen year old, “Oho…” 

"Shut up…" Steven gritted through his teeth.

“Oh?”

“Shuhut up, Peri!!”

“Oh~?”

“Peheridot, Ihi swear—!” Steven shouted, squeaking loudly as he felt a small poke to his side, “N-NohoHO!! Peheri doohoo NAHAT!!” 

The older laughed lightly, starting to pinch around the younger’s sides, “What~? Don’t do whaaaat~?” 

“Y-Yohou knohow whahat!!” The brunette giggled fearfully, his laughter spiking as the other gem digged her thumbs into his hips, “GYAHAH— hic! PEHERI NAHAH N-NOHO!!”

“Ohhhhh Peeercy~!” Peridot said dramatically, “I don’t appreciate you trying to tickle me earlier…looks like I’m going to get my revenge~!” 

The teenager just shook his head back and forth, lying on the bed as he tried to free himself from the other’s wretched hands. “So this is what you were so flustered about…interesting…” The green cladded gem mused.

“N-NOHO IHIHI WASN’T!! NOHO IHI AHAM NAHAHAT!!!” Steven shouted, trying to pry the other’s hands away from him but he soon fell into loud, booming cackles as Peridot lightly traced around his gem. 

“Huh…Amethyst wasn’t kidding when she said this was your worst spot…”

“NO!! HIC HIC NOHOHOHA! IHIHI’M HIC GOHONNA GEHEHET HIC YOHOU BAHACK!!” 

“I’d like to see you try.” The shorter gem said simply as she blew a raspberry on the other’s gem, trying to hold back laughs as Steven let out the most loudest squeal known to man before full on belly laughing.

“because he never accepts that it's never been about righteousness--it's about repentance.” except javert killing himself IS repentance.

well, it’s like 12 different things, because bro had gone days without sleeping and very little food and water and he already had low self-worth and kept asking the amis to kill him and just assumed he was going to die AND THEN valjean upended his understanding of the world and morality. he was really going through it & there are a lot of overlapping reasons for why he jumps into the seine.

but javert is like Number One Most Responsible guy in the whole story. taking responsibility is his Thing (forever bitter the musical doesn’t include the punish me monsieur le maire scene). how else, in his derailment, could he atone for his conceived misdeeds other than by handing in his resignation to god? in the brick he had already left a note urging his superiors to treat convicts at toulon better, which is another step in his repentance (and another crime the musical commits by not including it). jumping into the seine was another step.

honestly a lot of ppl who like the book think the musical was dead wrong to exclude him from the big heaven group sing, because it COMPLETELY undermines the themes of forgiveness and compassion threaded throughout les mis. like the musical was simply wrong lol.

This is helpful context! I am still finishing the brick, although I have fully read the abridged version, and that detail about the letter wasn't included, so I didn't know that occurred! (And thank you for the message--this is a long response but I'd love to hear more of your thoughts!)

I agree that Javert is certainly deeply distraught and remorseful; like you mentioned, his worldview is literally falling apart, and his actions reflect his mental state. But his death isn't really repentance--in the sense that it's not what God would have wanted. To me it reads like a Judas situation: a desperate realization of a huge mistake, and doing the only thing you think can make it right, namely, ending it all. That's the just punishment for someone so wrong, isn't it?

But true repentance, meaning the repentance that the Lord desires, is about changing your ways, not "paying a price." Had Javert really understood the beauty of Valjean's mercy (an image of Christ's, just as the bishop's undeserved mercy was to Valjean himself), rather than killing himself, he would have lived to also become "an honest man"--in heart. One who could forgive and understand forgiveness, for himself as well as others. One who could recognize that he is not The Law, that he can fall, but that he can also be "brought to the light." One who could accept that men like Valjean, and men like himself, CAN change, and be changed.

It's tragic to me because so much of "Stars," and his character in the book as well as the musical, is about wanting to be righteous, to rise above his birth and the sinfulness he associates it with. It's about wanting to please the Lord by his actions. But in his end, he shows he never understood what God really wanted from him, and that's where my original phrase comes in: not righteousness, but repentance. To live, and face the man you were, knowing it's no longer the man you are. That it's never been about what you've done or can do, but about what's been done for you. That's the Gospel that he could never fully accept.

To use another example you mentioned, that misunderstanding drives why he asks the Mayor (Valjean) to punish him--in his worldview, mercy is unjust, or at the very least, unfair. Evil must be punished; "those who fall like Lucifer fell" receive "the sword." But "as it is written," God "desires mercy, not sacrifice" (Matthew 9:13). God would have wanted Javert to live, and Javert couldn't see that, and that's why it's devastating to me. In his misunderstanding of the heart of God, he misses what would have set him free from the chains of sin he's always been trying to escape.

That's why he's contrasted with Valjean, who (though he carries guilt about his past till the end of his life) is eventually able to face it and confess what he had done to those he loves. He knew there was mercy to be found, if only it was asked for. Javert was too blinded by pride and shame to realize it, and so, while broken, he never was able to truly repent.

For that, you must go on.
