i hate to go "they don't make 'em like this anymore" but truly how is it charles laughton and cedric hardwicke don't exchange a single word (apart from the sentence i included) as quasimodo and frollo during the 1939 hunchback but still deliver maybe the most compelling and strong take on the relationship between their characters. like, what kind of sorcery

like this is it. these are their interactions. when i tell you i could hear entire dialogues between them

SORRY, HAD TO COMPLAIN SOMEWHERE & PUT MY THOUGHTS DOWN OOPS.. XD

Edit; Also, as a comment stated, I know that sometimes these things are depicted in fanfiction and art because the creator is kind of basing it off of what THEY like and they are kind of depicting what they want and because they are the ones who lust for Frollo, not Esmeralda... but it just gets weird to see over and over sometimes because I don't always know who legitimately thinks it's a REAL thing and who understands it's just something they LIKE.

........FFS. Please do not come find me with that "𝘌𝘴𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘵𝘰 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦".. horse shit. You will literally be blocked asf. (Also, in canon.. he's a fucking pedophile and is mooning over a girl who is supposed to be 16... and then he attempts to sexually assault her. Thank you.

Just saw Paul live. I travelled to Paris with a concussion and a black eye, and then my new 900$ phone got stolen and I don't know a word of French and I had to email my bank to cancel my credit card so the thief wouldn't be able to pay with my phone. I have like 30 quid in my wallet, I didn't even have the ticket to the concert because it was digital, I didn't know how to get to the arena or to my Air BnB (where my laptop was – without wifi). I had nothing but a dream, one might say. And it fucking worked guys I saw that motherfucker live and to be completely fucking honest with you it was worth all the trouble and the money but don't tell anyone I said that

Went to a famous bookstore in Paris and guess what I bought ‼️

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT BY DOSTOYEVSKY😨😨😨😨😨😨😨 yeah so you’re giving that to me when you get back 😐‼️

Armand's simpering little "and I never have" has taken on new dimensions for me. Technicality king and also I think very in keeping with his whole malign fairy creature deal. You can tell him not to hurt the bae, but you should really specify what "hurt" entails. Is chopping someone's hands off really hurting them? If they have annoyed you very much I mean.

-questions Armand might pose to Lestat that inspire him to leave the country

OH OH OH finally, here is my submission for the @pixelcafe-network Secret Santa Event.

Merry Christmas my lil elf @ambiguouslady42! Hope you enjoy your gift and your Christmas night as Mrs. Forger~

[ID: a tweet that reads “We’ve done an analysis to show that countries that reduced Covid more effectively won more Gold medals than expected at the Paris Olympics and vice versa” above a link to a study titled “Possible impacts of national response to COVI…" end ID]

study linked in tweet:

Obviously correlation is not necessarily causation, but I, for one, am not particularly surprised by these findings. COVID ravages the body in ways that can be hard to detect and athletes (and anyone else who begins serious physical exertion within 6 months of a COVID infection) are at much higher risk of developing Long COVID than people who get radical rest following an infection.

COVID is preventable, though! N95s have been found to be nearly perfect at blocking COVID and Mask Blocs can help you find free or cheap masks and tests in your area. Many even ship within their state if you’re worried about not living in a big city. COVID is not inevitable and more people masking means less COVID in the air!

here’s a link to an article about the N95 study:

and here’s the study itself:

🪐//I need the people to know Abt greywall paris

// o7 I will do my best

Paris tossed his backpack onto the rickety old bed, barely held together by the patches sewn into it, before throwing himself onto the bed as well. He sighed loudly, running his hand through his hair, trying to calm his nerves down.

"What am I doing..." He whispered, getting back up into a sitting position. He glanced over at the backpack, hesitating for a moment before unzipping it- having to switch hands, cursing at his clunky prosthetic all the while. Stupid thing...

Finally, Paris pulled what he was looking for out. A white comedy mask, uniform save for a few imperfections in the mold. He ran his thumb over it a few times, lips curling into a frown. What was he doing? This was wrong- this was all wrong.

What happened to settling down? Living a peaceful life- or- as peaceful as life could get in this world... It only took- what, a few years before he went and threw all that through the window?

Kura had gotten him wrapped up into this- but he couldn't even blame that dimwit this time. He had agreed to this on his own- it wasn't anyone else's fault but his. Still though...

Paris took a deep breath- gripping the mask tightly. This was for the greater good, wasn't it? At least that's what he told himself in order to feel better about all of this. People were suffering, something was wrong with this so-called paradise- the one beacon of "safety" in this wasteland... And who else was here to fight this battle?

...He put the mask down, finally, instead reaching for a now slightly crumpled up piece of notebook paper. A schedule had been written down, but the handwriting was... shaky. It made the numbers even harder to read, and after a few attempts, he just put the paper aside in defeat. The next meeting was on a Wednesday, he'd figure out the time later...

This was the right thing to do. He just had to keep telling himself that until he eventually believed it. That's how these things worked, right..?

...

He'd sleep on it for now. He was too exhausted to handle this.
