happy pride month les mis fandom

[shitpostingfromthebarricade]

I first encounter this poem in 2011, but it wrote itself on my heart, and when I found it again ... it was so perfectly Jean Prouvaire.

(on that note, I highly recommend researching the Misty Poets and the political movement at that time, because their work in general is stunning)

Testament (Declaration) by Bei Dao

translation by Bonnie S. McDougall

Perhaps the final hour is come

I have left no testament

Only a pen, for my mother

I am no hero

In an age without heroes

I just want to be a man

The still horizon

Divides the ranks of the living and the dead

I can only choose the sky

I will not kneel on the ground

Allowing the executioners to look tall

The better to obstruct the wind of freedom

From star-like bullet holes shall flow

A blood-red dawn

les mis (2012) is simultaneously the worst movie ever made but also the best

[gaygollum]

to be so real. ‘oh god was there something that i missed? did i squander my divinity? was happiness within me the whole time?’ i’d never heard anything more serious when i was 15 and i never will again. in fact it continues to blow my mind to this day.

all im hoping for when the octet film comes out is that people get to recognize how much love the original cast members gave to this musical. the original eight (and all the additions in the west coast) have such amazing and intentional performances— they gave these characters literal Meaning. and not only that, they are the sweetest human beings alive :( when i made my first octet pieces, adam and justin bought it off my redbubble.

adam and justin have already expressed sadness over the news of the new cast. they recognize the new cast is brilliant, but it is upsetting to hear that they don't feel recognized for their efforts, with justin expressing no communication from the filmmakers that none of the original cast would be the film cast. their posts have also been liked by other original cast members like kuhoo, margo, and isabel (also mia!).

as much as the new cast is impressive, it does frustrate me that many smaller actors were dismissed when many of malloy's work is BUILT on propping up smaller actors. at the very least, please go show some love to the original cast :( it breaks my heart to see them get dismissed by many after the new cast was announced.

(if you are seeing this and do not know what octet by dave malloy is it is an a capella chamber choir commentary on our relationship with technology and the internet and its GOOD !!!! very inchresting please watch )

synopsis : a meeting of the internet addicts support group 'Friend of Saul ' held in a church basement . All the characters represent a caricature of an issue for example gambling , pornography , gaming , etc . Every character / song also represents a card from the major arcana tarot deck !

[sonyushka-bonjour]

Defrosting this blog and hoping my Malloysical mutuals are all still here to yell about Octet film??!! OCTET FILM!!?!?!?!???!??!

[bookofmac]

All Dave Malloy knows is fairytale motif, mental illness, video game, crunchy chords, drink booze, sad lesbians, write canon and send me into a State

[asthe-crow-flies]

it's just that if octet really must be a movie it should be a surrealist art film and i don't think lin manuel miranda knows how to do that

[grapery]

i tried to add more but my graphic design skills are limited
