Since readingwithavengeance got hacked, probably by the person who runs the one porn blog that the person now in charge is reblogging everything from, does anyone know how to help? Also if they have a twitter or something? 

[snarktheater]

I was curious about Kiera Cass and Whitley so I searched the blog and there's an actual message from Cass herself???

There was? As I said, I had forgotten about it until anon reminded me. It does ring a bell, but I don’t feel like browsing her archive until I can find it. Do you maybe have a link for me?

readingwithavengeance fucking trashing Insurgent on my dash is so satisfying to read. I do like dystopias but I finally realized this series was not well-written on the last book when there's transition between two first person POVs chapter by chapter and it's so fucking IDENTICAL - when one of them is supposed to have mental illness the other does not! - that I often wound up reading like two pages before I finally realized this was not who I thought it was. fucking fuck this is why I dislike first person POVs and readingwithavengeance is poking holes in characterization, plotting, worldbuilding, and it's so cathartic to see that things I was vaguely not satisfied with REALLY ARE FUCKING AWFUL

Fuck man, these 50 Shades of Grey chapter-by-chapter reviews are giving me life right now!

Spiders. Fuck spiders. Creepy little things... We had an infestation of them over the summer, and it was horrible.

4 & 8 (moments from les mis)

i must be honest, you are the last person i expected to send one of these! love your blog, though. like, a lot.

8 (top five les mis moments:) it's hard to pick out specific moments without pulling whole songs, and the entire musical is one of my favourite moments. (i haven't read the book yet. have you seen that thing? we call it the brick for a reason.)

- grantaire's cut verse from drink with me is great because it really gives a sense of his character and carries on a running theme of despair vs hope. when i saw it live in toronto, he and gavroche were together a lot in various scenes and after eponine died i'm pretty sure gavroche went to grantaire for comfort and that was sweet as hell, and after drink with me (where his verse was not cut) and grantaire got totally rejected by enjolras while their buds keep singing and he was heartbroken he went over to gavroche and just fell to his knees and gavroche hugged him and it was super adorable and awful.

(grantaire is one of my favourite characters)

- one day more is an amazing mix of so many song elements (i don't know musical terms very well) from so many previous songs, and it all comes together so well and with so much optimism and hope that you can almost forget that like, everybody is about to die.

- some people say in my life/a heart full of love is the weakest song in the musical, and that has to be taken considering it's a fucking amazing musical. i'm not one for love stories or love at first sight but marius and cosette are so sweet and hopeful you can almost forget everybody except them dies that it manages to be endearing instead of sickening, and eponine is there and fulfilling the mandatory third side of the love triangle and somehow it works without being obnoxious. maybe because in the scope of things, the romance/love triangle isn't given a huge focus? somehow that love triangle/romance happens and i actually enjoy it. for me, that's impressive.

- javert's final song is amazing in the worst way. when i saw the movie in theater i hated him and i was almost egging him on but as i got into the story more i got more of a sense of his character and it started to get really sad. javert's sucicde and valjean's first soliloquy (the bit after the bishop) sound so similar that i get one stuck in my head and it turns into the other and it's such a tragic reflection.

-the very ending with the reprise of do you hear the people sing gets me teary eyed every time, because it can easily be seen as such a miserable story, but there's that running theme of hope (and faith, which is impressive because religious themes are usually outputting for me) and everyone is dead and they lived awful lives and the people left behind won't see anything better and cosette's father just died on her wedding day, but in the end there's still hope for the future and the song just rises up and it's beautiful, y'know?

4 (last time i cried:) i'm not gonna lie, i was rewatching les mis on new years and i got all sniffly at all the regular points. (i dreamed a dream, empty chairs at empty tables and the reprise of do you hear the people sing are the notable ones. something other things get to me too, but those are the big three.)

13 & 14

(oh my. hello! <3)

Life goals:

Write a beautiful thing before I die, and have it be recognized as a beautiful thing worldwide

Try to achive max eudaimonia given my lot in life, which while not the most ideal nor the most happy, has still been all right.

I'd like to visit Salar de Uyuni before very long.

Live in the Czech Republic/Germany for some length of time.

Piercings I want? I already have my ears pierced and have a lip piercing lower down on the left (my left, that is); I've been thinking of an scaffold in my right ear for about a year now and haven't gone through with it. Wouldn't mind another ear piercing either.
