i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.

Epilogue
Happy Barricade Day! After all, June 6th is the day they made their sacrifice, so I’m not late, right?
The inspiration for this drawing came from the Toledo Cathedral—the sense of the heavens opening up, which also corresponds to the final song of Les Misérables, "Epilogue."
In the painting, I wanted to depict the scene Jean Valjean vaguely sees as he passes away. Fantine takes his hand, leading him toward heaven, while the Bishop stands beside him, illuminating the path behind. And in the background are those who fell during the battle.
The upward composition gives the feeling that their voices fade into the "valley of the light," reflecting their destiny of "climbing to the light." I wanted the darker surroundings to contrast with the light of heaven, showing that they now dwell in that place beyond—echoing the lyric, "We will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord."
Jehan loves playing the flute, so perhaps the "distant drums" are sounds he conjures.
Behind Valjean, there is a mural of women—intended to represent the "lovely ladies," along with little Gavroche and his sister Éponine above. These figures embody the suffering people of the earth, much like the lyrics of "Wretched of the Earth."
On the heavenly side of the mural are two elderly men: the Parliament G and Mabeuf. Finally, the little angels surrounding the Bishop are Gavroche’s younger brothers.
my teeny tiny thing for @barricadeday !! cosplaying my little character on habitica as enjolras :) got the red waistcoat recently and it was too perfect for me not to do it
To the barricades!
u cld write a whole thesis abt this xkcd & how the only workers personified here r the upper class college degreed tech & management workers & not the third world workers facing unsafe grueling conditions working in mining or even manufacturing..... the wood source described as a "legal fight"
he's also greatly overestimating how much design work actually goes into most products like that
not leaving that in the tags
Since it's @barricadeday and Prouvaire's death day, I decided to draw my (alive) modern au Prouvaire. To me she would be a trans lesbian who named herself Jehanne after Jehanne d'Arc, so I drew her as Albert Lynch's famous Jeanne d'Arc painting. I had no time to colour so please imagine I have made Jehanne's flag red. The text should say "Vive l'avenir", but her head is blocking it.
les mis blogging/social media au
ok so i had some ideas about this au which im very passionate about. im gonna draw art for this, believe me.
cosette and bahorel who are both fashion bloggers
they’re mutuals and meet up and take aesthetic pics together
eponine has a dark but also pastel aesthetic blog?? (with a side of fandom)
teams up with cosette to make cute moodboards and aesthetic posts
jehan who also runs a dark blog, except its a strange mix of gore, plants, clothes and pretty people. its a mess, just like their fashion sense.
viner courfeyrac who specializes in pranking his roommate marius
marius who finds cosettes blog and selfies and f a l l s i n l o v e (he thinks shes dating bahorel at first,, he cries alot)
(cosette is also courfeyracs no. 1 fan so)
joly and combeferre who have a shared sideblog for medical and self care information
jolys blog is yellow!! and bright!! and just so cute. i love joly. alot
sorry i just had to express my love for joly. how can u not love joly like seriously. anyway
combeferre the space nerd™ also loves astrology alot. horoscope nerd.
feuilly running a lifehacks blog. its canon.
collabs alot with bossuet who runs an advice blog. he gets alot of asks about how to be as bright as him, because hes generally quite cheerful despite his unluckiness
grantaire who runs an art blog and frequently gets commissioned from the above because they all love him alot.
enjolras who runs a social justice blog which everyone follows. they dont know when they started following him but,,, they do??
enjolras makes a post in efforts to start a skype group and maybe do some protesting?? who knows, hes trying okay.
they all join, and when enjolras asks everyone to introduce themselves??
most of them already know each other?? somehow?
anyway they get on like a housefire,
group chats. so many group chats.
and so the les amis were born.
also!! imagine gavroche “hacking” (see: stealing their phones) everyones accounts, and posting selfies. no one has the heart to delete them because?? wtf hes so cute.
if u have anymore ideas, pls share.

it’s crazy how much you can read if you read
When u like a movie so much that everyone's quippy little letterboxd reviews start pissing you off
i think it's worth remembering this xkcd from 2013 that's still equally true

The convergence
my former roommates in a crumbling marriage were told by their couple’s therapist that they needed to get a shared hobby, any shared hobby, literally any hobby, so they decided it should be watching mr beast. vivid memories of coming home to seeing them sitting five feet apart on the sofa, watching mr beast with completely blank expressions and occasionally making slightly strained comments
I gasped out loud at this????
I were the therapist I'd be like no....... maybe not like that........
Under the right circumstances a couples therapist could make more money with a divorce than he could with a saved marriage...
Heated rivalry shouldve been about 2 ugly old guys that play mahjong then maybe id consider watching it
i don't remember them playing mahjong but they do other old man things like going to the wet market together and drinking soup and taking walks. anyway go watch suk suk / twilight's kiss
"ok but where's the old chinese lesbians" go watch all shall be well. it's by the same director and the old chinese lesbians are also at the market

“It is pleasing, joyful to realize that the war is no longer there, but it is somehow unusual.”
"Приятно, радостно сознавать, что войны уже нет, но как-то непривычно."
