I Let You Down, Sinéad

I should have been a fan back then. But I wasn't. I regret it now.

The loss of Sinéad O’Connor hit me harder than I would have expected. I hadn’t been much of a fan in her glory days and while I respected her, I hadn’t paid her much mind in the intervening years. I suppose I’d imagined she’d always be here and I looked forward to seeing what an old lady version of Sinéad might get up to and then suddenly she was gone. In the outpouring of press in the wake of…

How to Cope with Mis-understanding & Family Estrangement.

In this post, I offer suggestions coping when you are misunderstood and judged unfairly. And for those who are estranged from family, it will help you as well.

When we use the world wide web, be it email or social media, we put ourselves tat risk of unfair judgement. Judgment can cause misunderstanding, and misunderstanding may cause a break in relationships. Accepting that misunderstandings happens all the time, helps me cope with the inescapable judgment toward me. Within relationships, misunderstanding can occur very quickly and catch us…

it is funny how valjean is like “i can’t let cosette know i was a thief :(” when she has just gotten engaged to a man who was involved in a violent anti-government uprising

reminder canon grantaire is bourgeoisie. He lives in furnished quarters near the musain, has a specific waist coat for revolutionary occasions, and enough money to drink two (three?) bottles of wine in one afternoon.

I love it when Modern AU Valvert fics forgo Javert being a cop and instead find new and inventive ways of making him incredibly pedantic and a total stickler to rules. Like, yeah, make that man *checks notes* the most straight-laced camp counselor or the most killjoy roller coaster technician ever. It's like enrichment to him.

important to gimli characterization. to me. is that while he's generous & steadfast & caring where it matters he is also just a little bit vain. not in a delusional way or a way that causes problems but like. he is aware that he's good looking & good at what he does and is pleased with himself for it. he's aware of his own good qualities & proud of them in a way that makes his friends roll their eyes a little. but he's charming & realistic about it and also Right so you can't be too annoyed. guy who takes way too long styling his hair & beard because he knows he has very nice hair. guy who will brag a little about his axework because he knows he's just that good. do you see what I'm getting at

Nothing pisses me off more than non-French people who apparently slept in history class and think that Les Misérables takes place during the French Revolution

In a desperate attempt to cope with the trauma of the last chapter, my mind is stuck on that moment when Vander/Warwick, with his menacing beast-like gaze, says DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER, and Jinx feels, for the first time in YEARS, her dad—the big, huge, and strong one, the one who fiercely protects her—just like when she wasn’t Jinx but Powder, when she was just a little girl hiding behind his legs because she knew that as long as he was there, nothing would happen to her. And then Vi shows up, accompanied by Isha, and Vi touches Isha's helmet with extreme tenderness because Isha is the child her sister has adopted, and that makes her her niece, and now they’re a family again, all together, and they’re happy and have a bit of peace for the first time since everything went to hell years ago. And I refuse to process everything that happens after because that image is too precious and comforting, and because they could have had it all, but the narrative is a mess, and Jesus!Viktor never thought his bitter ex would come back to take revenge and set his own terms in the divorce—I want to cry.

has anyone else made the connection between stars being sailors' guide and whenever javert talks about stars it's symbolic of the law for him. because it's what guides him and to him it is consistent and concrete. am i late to this realization or .

like in the brick before he kills himself when he looks into the seine he doesn't see the stars. he realized the law isn't actually as dependable as he thought, the thing he relied on his whole life was pulled out from under him
