Happy Barricade Day! Here's to the only time I've had new art for it!

I don't know, guys. I'm feeling really good about the les amis's revolution this year. I think they might win this time

[zasnena-snovacka]

I love how the lines in Drink With Me are repeated. I feel like it's really rich with symbolism.

Firstly, it creates a sense of community and fellowship between the revolutionaries, as they're not just vaguely singing into the air but to each other in a sort of conversation, highlighting how they're together sharing this last moment of commpanionship.

However, with the second line being the exact repetition of the first, it comes to resemble an echo, accentuating the claustrophobic feeling of isolation, likening the surrounded barricades to a cavelike space. This echo, then, expresses a somber solitude, with no reinforcements coming, abandoned by everyone, hearing only their own voices as an answer.

Yet, through echo, their words can continue to sound even without them, leaving a mark on the world, and so, even after they're gone, their song of friendship still lives. Fittingly, this repetition of lines begins after the stanza with questions "Will the world remember you when you fall?" and "Could it be your death means nothing at all?" in it and, thus, subtly provides the answer.

Man, when you compare Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) to Les Misérables (1862) and realize just how deeply the June Rebellion and the February Revolution changed Victor Hugo and his relationship with power and poverty.

Like he really went from a 29yo writing “poor people have tiny little lives that come and go, but our beautiful physical manifestations of power live on despite them, how cool is that” to a 60yo writing “we should be willing to burn it all down just to save one child. There are bloodstains on our hands every day that another baby in our community starves, another man is enslaved by the law, another woman must sell herself for bread. Vive les abaissés - we must join them to build a better world for our children.”

no joke tho: I seriously hope this is another step of us moving past "oh team so-and-so is uniquely ~*~evil~*~" and on to "hockey, including women's hockey, has some culture issues that need fixing" because only one of those paths is gonna be a start to fixing those culture issues.

I honestly don't wanna see Detroit fans treated how Frost fans have been.

[furst-in-the-atmosphere]

I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT BRITTA CURL SALEMME IS NO LONGER OUR PROBLEM. THANK YOU DETROIT.

Most fans when they lose players to an expansion team: Screaming. Crying. Throwing up.

Frost fans in this very specific instance: *opening bottles of champagne* The evil has been transferred.

Unrelated to anything that person related

I hope everyone gets a queer person on their team. I hope every team has a person of color on their team. I hope everyone loves at least one player on their team.

Happy pride to my fellow queer and trans friends
