#these four characters. man.

i do think it's kind of crazy how both cristabel and mercymorn function as sacrificial lambs that absolve their respective quinque of his sins... augustine can only ever blame cristabel for something that she and alfred did together so he can forgive the part alfred played in it. and john punishes mercy for a sin that she and augustine committed together — she "really pissed him off" — but john is able to extend an olive branch to augustine in spite of the part he knows he played. they're both finding scapegoats in the women who founded the house that produces cavs named after sacrificial animals. like, what the hell

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

Some really stupid season 3-4ish mag sketches plus obligatory crumpling Jon up into a ball (And also s1 Jon is there writing his gay little statements whatever).

I say s3-4 cuz Helen ya know here's another Helen under the cut my beloved they could never make me hate you. You are the not a who but the moment the icon the legend:

Julian Blackthorn’s constant awareness of his siblings is both so heartwarming and so heartbreaking to read

[team-118]

that's the thing. he's the one you forget to count on. he's perfect but it's a front. he's happy but it's a lie. he cut the damn line and he's still alive down here. he's 9, he's 19, 21, 27, with the weight of the world on his seemingly bulletproof shoulders. he's braver than anyone should have to be. he takes responsibility to a fault. he's cursed but the universe doesn't scream. he's a wonderful partner as long as he doesn't look it in the eye. he's falling backwards into a pool of his own blood and he's dancing in his underwear in his living room. he's gonna be better. for christopher? no, for himself. he's golden and glowing at sunset on the court, he's singing karaoke and djing with drag queens, he's falling to fucking pieces and then he's putting himself back together. who the hell is that? eddie diaz, new recruit. we don't bet against him.

I love how in actual battle, four is always the one who’s aware of the others and works with them as a team

Like look at him in battles-

Look at his smug face like “just you wait lizzy my dad’s right there and he’s gonna chop your head off”

He had no direct communication with time, but he knew where he was and how he fought enough to totally rely on him being there.

Oh my buddy just shot a skeleton near me’s head off? Cool thanks bro, I’ll finish the job

It’s just so obvious how much better he is at being aware of where his team is and how to work with them and rely on them, which is of course due to his ENTIRE ADVENTURE being about teamwork

This one’s my favourite because he was aware of twilight being there and still used his help with the boko he was also just… really weirded out by getting help from his friend in dog form

I love him.

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

sometimes i sit here and think 'yeah i'm a pretty normal person'. and then i remember that i am fully preparing myself to write a 20-ish page academic paper on how enjolras and grantaire directly relate to achilles and patroclus and that love and passion conquers fear and cynicism

New York's not-completely-lineless Line-up!

“Blinky should have sang a bunch in the show” a visual essay. Including a series of scenes I would have loved to see.

top down left to right

Blinky singing Jim and Claire lullabies on the way to New Jersey

Blinky and AAARRRGGHH! dancing together

Blinky singing while working on something

Blinky singing to AAARRRGGHH!

Blinky singing putting some books back while the kids watch and Toby records it

I think it would suit him and was inspired to create this. Also based a bit on the one person who headcanoned Pannoxi are the only troll species with a vocal range that allows them to sing and I think that’s neat and has had me thinking about it even more.
