It's the first day of activities that the boys have to do for...reasons. The activities are perfectly innocuous, like cookie decorating. What could possibly go wrong?

At the end of the chapter is some delicious art by @parkouringrabbit. You won't want to miss it!

So apparently people see Nicola at a bar with J and don’t take photos “to respect their privacy” then go running to DM with the bar name so the irony writes itself there

But lo and behold the bar they named was having a queer ball that night 😂

I don't think you guys understand how tickled I was over this queer prom event.

It just still makes me giggle that someone clearly didn't do their research.

I'm not saying everything I peruse on the internet is innocent, but I was surprised Facebook served me an OF ad.

So I decided to see what exactly I did to trigger this happenstance.

Let it be known, if there are any fellow power supply perverts out there, OF has your number and is out to tempt you.

Sorry just remembered a bit I listened to earlier. This is the Donougher translation, audiobook format. I listened to this part with headphones while working today.

When Javert is telling, in great detail, Madeleine of the arrest of the "real Jean Valjean", he quotes the prisoner who first makes the accusation.

He's quoting Brevet, another prisoner. Something like, "No sooner than that man Champmathieu arrives in Arras, Brevet exclaims, 'Hey I know that man. He's a f*ggot.'"

My mouth fell open. I really have no context for why that'd be the first thing this guy says upon recognizing "Valjean". I'm not even sure what he means by that.

Of course he goes on to say "That's Jean Valjean. We did time together." But that was not where he started.

Is it something about Valjean's demeaner when he was in jail? They say so many other things about him that seem to contradict that though. He's a wretch, he's cunning, he's scary, he's as strong as 4 men, violent criminal, a villain. I had expected, "Hey I know that guy! That's that bastard Jean Valjean." Something like that.

And of course this is Javert telling a story he heard from another guy. He wasnt there himself. And also this is one of those run-on pieces of dialogue and so Javert just continues telling the story for several more minutes. Madeleine/Valjean can't acknowledge what he said obviously.

I truly don't know the context for using the term here. It's a modern translation so I'm assuming the modern use of the word. And it's used derogatorily here (i think?). But I just don't know...it really surprised me.

Hey, it's a distraction, right?
