Hello, I finished my les mis cross stitch project and it only took me 90 days! (I actually finished it like 10 days ago but then didn't post it anywhere because reasons)

Yes, it is being weighted down by 4 burned-down candles and a copy of the dvd, and I still need to sort out the warping in one corner before I can frame it, also the quality of this photo is dog. But I'm so damn proud of this one.

Anatomical history | 2: Georges Couthon

It is still heavily debated on which exact illnes or injury caused Georges Couthon's paralysis. However there are two main theories that are accepted in historical fields, both of which are Myelitis and MS (or as more know: Multiple Sclerosis). Another theory that was heavily used even in 1700s was tuberculosis paralysis (Pott's paraplegia, but that theory doesn't have enough historical or medical evidence to back it up.)

Couthon's Myelitis caused an inflammation in his spinal cord. Such inflammation is what is thought to have caused his issues with pain and paralysis. It is not entirely known whether his inflamation was in his Thoric spine or in his lumbar spine as it is not correctly recorded in any resources whether his lower back was paralyzed with his legs. But it is believed to be mostly in his lumbar back, most likely in the spinal cord near the L1 vertebrae.

His paralysis also caused pain in his thighs and legs (AKA he still had sensation in the affected areas but couldnt use them. Which is a huge symptom of Myelitis)

In the end the condition forced him to use a cane, then two crutches, and then by 1793 he was completely wherlchair-bound.

His MS didn't cause cause the "usual" symptoms of visual impairments or mood problems, so that theory is almost completely supported only on the grounds of his muscle atrophy and spinal weakness before his paralysis.

Additionally:

Georges Couthon has always had some issues with either his legs or joints as it is recorded that even in childhood he had pains in those places.

I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person

BUT

a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."

Happy Pride to Biggs Darklighter

So one of my friends is staying at my flat and it's actually driving me up the wall. I can't work out if they're fucking awful to live with or if I've got far too used to living alone or some combination of the two. Like they're actively making my life so difficult and it's so frustrating because I don't want to be an arsehole but I also feel like I'm going insane. And I'm not going to ask them to leave because I know they don't have anywhere else to go. But like it also sometimes feels like they're massively taking advantage of my generosity

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

Actual quote was like, "He should have been dancing at the Chaumière, as young people have a moral obligation to do."

One more late contribution to Barricade Week. I think M. Gillenormand is one of my favorite characters from the book. He is not a very good guardian, but everything he does is so funny. I had to pause at the end of this chapter to draw this.
