Le Café Musain

[siriusly-amazing]

I read the first page of the hunchback of Notre Dame (the Notre Dame of Paris 1482) and Victor Hugo really liked to write books about graffitiesque words he saw on buildings that are no longer there for reasons unbeknownst to him.

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

It's the 39th anniversary of Les Misérables on stage, which means Les Amis de l'ABC have been dying for their cause for 14244.75 days.

the CAFE MUSAIN BOOKNOOK is officially finished !!!!

This one that I began ages ago and completely forgot about (pt1 ↓)

But here is the final steps of the process

I added the front faces made of cardboard and lollipop sticks, painted with watercolour paint. And I added little splashes of dirt to the bottom of the wood with black paint and a sponge. On the underside of the upper floor panel I got glued fairy lights to provide lighting

Added some posters on the walls and aged them with paint and water

For the top floor I made a floor panel out of painted lollipop sticks, then I added a chair and table I made out of wood and cardboard (very messily) hot glued together and painted. Then I found some print out book covers online and cut them out and stuck them around the edges of little pieces of cardboard. The sheets of paper are tissues. I think the globe is an old dollhouse toy that I found and painted. Then I added a lamp in the corner using one of the fairy lights and a cardboard cover.

Front face!!! I painted some cardboard after LOTS of measuring and eyeballing. Then I made the shutters out of lollipop sticks and cocktail sticks hot glued together which caused me SO much grief and took fucking forever. But they're pretty cute

Then I added a Musain sign I made earlier with (you guessed it!) lollipop sticks and paint

Here's the final look along with the fairy lights added to the ceiling panel:

Hope you enjoyed x

happy ten year anniversary to george blagden. you know what you did

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

my poor sister just got a huge rant on Les Mis from me because I needed her to take pictures of Grantaire's "vanity" speech from my copy, and like, I knew the exact reference for it except for the page number so I was able to talk her through finding it, but then she got an earful on my thoughts about it and I think she may be sick of me and I'm not even at home lol

Let's say you could still engage in this function if you wanted to (ie. If you want to sleep you can), but you have no need to anymore, and you would not do it automatically or reflexively.

Je suis en train de lire "Forget me not" et je n'arrive pas à croire qu'il n'y ait pas encore eu de traduction française ! C'est un plaisir à lire, j'adore toutes les refs françaises, ça change des fics modern AU où tout se passe aux US... J'en suis qu'au début, mais merci infiniment pour cette fic, c'est un régal !

QKLTGJDLKHJKLFJDLKDF

Casually SCREAMIN

Aaaaahhh!!! Merci beaucoup ça me fait trop plaisir!! En vrai avec le recul j'aurai dû mettre les bouchées doubles et frenched it up encore plus! Ca me tenait à coeur d'ancrer une modern AU en France parce que c'est rare de pouvoir écrire une fic qui se passe dans son propre pays, c'était l'occasion!

J'aurais jamais la force de tout traduire malheureusement :') Déjà corriger tous les typos ça serait déjà pas mal! Mais il ne faut jamais dire jamais!

J'espère que le reste te plaira!!!!!!

Part 2 of Café Musain booknook!!

I decorated the inside with bottles I made from hot glue and painted (the thin one in the middle of the trio I actually just found somewhere). I added a picture of floreal because the patrons definitely just thought she was hot and put it up (classic. I would too) and then I added a wee menu and a table I made out of lollipop sticks and stained with watercolours

Then I started work on some bits of the surrounding street before I add the front face of the Musain and the sign. So I cheated and used some printed bricks this time but then I used a little sponge to dirtify it as well as the ground below

Next up I painted a wall and made it gross looking to go above the brick part. Then I made shutters out of lollipop sticks and painted them. I thought it was quite cute to paint the inside black and leave them a bit open. And then I made a flag out of scraps of fabric and hot glued it to the wall

Then I made another cute window and painted the wall behind it black to fill the space. I was gonna do another door but I realised it would be too big.

I found these cute wheels out of an old Lego set and painted them to go on the ground under the window

I'm currently making the exterior of the Musain so I'll keep you updated!
