the author's barely disguised longing to not be a real person

Y'all don't realize how much I need for someone to write a FF/make a fanart of Enjoltaire as Orphydice but with Enjolras turning around cuz deep down he never truly trusted Grantaire.

IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT ANGST MATERIAL!!

A Group Which Almost Became Historic

It's been over a decade since I first read Les Mis, and first drew this, (which still floats around in reblogs, the original post now being deleted with my old blog) and I thought I ought to finish this for Barricade Day. At the time, that illustration was the most ambitious I had ever drawn.

In the last ten years, Les Mis has perhaps felt more pertinent than ever. In Australia, where I live, bigoted, far-right political parties that were previously considered fringe are leading polls on the back of racist, anti-immigration rhetoric. I donate regularly to a charity that supports refugees that is local to me, the Asylum Seeker Resource Center, and am going to do so again today. I encourage you to do the same, either to the ASRC, or to an equivalent charity in your area.

"So long as there shall exist, by virtue of law and custom, decrees of damnation pronounced by society, artificially creating hells amid the civilization of earth... books of the nature of Les Misérables cannot fail to be of use." — Victor Hugo

facts-i-just-made-up

any facts on linguistics to offer to us?

Linguistics is the study of linguists, and why they chose to pursue careers in languages, translation, and/or linguini. Linguistics dates back to the Tower of Babel, when new languages sprang into being so that one day, Neal Stephenson could use them as a plot point in a sci-fi novel.

The modern world by contrast has well over six languages, including Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and West Frisian Dutch. People who can speak only one of these are called monoglots, people who speak a few are called polyglots, and people who know every language are called omniglots, or colloquially, “show-off jerks.”

Most people are of course, monoglots, and thus their seeds contain only a single embryonic leaf. Monoglots are also more prone to catching mononucleosis, which is a very catchy song by Schoolyard Heroes.

In conclusion, linguistics is by far the sexiest sounding blanket term for less sexy words like “syntax” and “phonology.”

#syntax is objectively the sexiest thing ever but ok ig 🙄#gonna go back to studying my plate of linguini now #language
