i really really really love the idea of eridians hearing absolutely everything in a human body and being able to predict an episode of something, similarly to how medical alert service dogs can

I was so taken by the image of 20-30 pebbles activating in unison that I had to draw it immediately

I went this evening to see les mis in the west end and it was the debut day for Ben Nicholas as enjolras and OH MY GOD THE ENJOLTAIRE CONTENT HE GAVE US ALONGSIDE WILLIAM PENNINGTON

Just to mark the highlights:

After grantaire’s solo in drink with me, enjolras went to him and THEY WENT FULL BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN STYLE LIKE THIS

THEIR FOREHEADS WERE TOUCHING AND THEY WERE HOLDING EACH OTHER SO CLOSE I WAS SCREAMING. Then grantaire left and enjolras stood there lingering for a few seconds.

THEN

In the final battle they both ran into each other’s arms.

Like this.

AND THEY STOOD THERE. IT WAS SO DESPERATE, OML, I WAS CRYING SO BAD ALREADY AND THIS KILLED ME

In conclusion, if you have the chance, GO SEE THEM, Ben was AMAZING as enjolras, I hope he gets to do it more often because he was THAT awesome

And pls recommend me some enjoltaire fics because I now find myself in a desperate NEED.

One tragic aspect of the Odyssey that I've never really seen handled by any adaptation is the link between Odysseus' marriage and the Trojan War itself.

When Helen was of age to be married, all the Lords of Greece came to seek her hand. This was an issue for her stepfather the King of Sparta who could only pick one husband and then would have to deal with the far greater number of angry rejected suitors.

One suitor was Odysseus, then a younger man. He quickly ascertained that he had no chance of marrying Helen. Ithaca was too poor for him to even bring any proper gifts, let alone a dowry. But he did catch the eye of the King's niece, one Penelope.

Now Penelope was still a bit out of Odysseus' league, but not so much as Helen was. So he makes a deal with the King of Sparta. Support my bid to marry Penelope, and I'll give you a solution to this suitors problem. The King agrees, so Odysseus suggests all the suitors swear an oath to defend Helen's marriage from anyone who might strike against it. They all, including Odysseus, so swear, and Helen is married to Menelaus. The King proves as good as his word, and Penelope is wed to Odysseus.

Of course this means that Odysseus has now bound himself to fight for Helen and Menelaus. After an attempt to feign madness he is forced to fulfill his duty.

So his own plan, to marry Penelope and stop a hoard of ravenous suitors, ends with him forced to defend his own marriage from a hoard of ravenous suitors.

I think there's a great chance the existence of mirrors/reflective surfaces silently fucks Rocky up.

Like, Grace is in the bathroom, shaving, the curtain pulled to the side and suddenly he stops and says "stop touching my stuff". Rocky, frozen, somewhere behind him, can't fathom how Grace sensed that. He was so quiet. The razor is so loud. Grace's still facing away from him. What the fuck.

Grace repairing some panel or other and asks for a tool. Without even turning around, he says "no, not that one, the one to its left". Rocky's like are you shitting me. I know for a fact your hearing is ass. You can only see in one direction and I'm not in it!! What?!

Rlainarin wedding 🌸

Searching for ceremonial robes of different nationalities was quite hard but still fun, anyway I kept that simple enough (I spared myself)

And I have to say that whole dancing idea was inspired by @/Paintweaver’s artworks 🙏

Victor Hugo: Ah, yes, Enjolras and Grantaire. A fascinating pair. You see, Enjolras represents absolute devotion to a cause, almost like a divine figure. He is compared to Apollo, the Greek god of light and beauty.

Literature Guy: Okay, so he’s like… the hot revolutionary guy.

Victor Hugo: Precisely. And Grantaire is his opposite. A man who believes in nothing, who mocks everything, who has no faith in the revolution—

Literature Guy: Except Enjolras?

Victor Hugo: Exactly! You’re following! Grantaire’s only true belief is his admiration for Enjolras. Their relationship mirrors the intense male bonds found in ancient Greek literature.

Literature Guy: So… they’re friends.

Victor Hugo: Yes, but not simply friends. It’s a complicated, deeply emotional connection built on admiration, devotion, and tragedy.

Literature Guy: Right, right. So they’re straight.

Victor Hugo: …What?

Literature Guy: Because you said “male friendship.” Like, very close friendship. Classic straight guy stuff.

Victor Hugo: I said it was inspired by Greek traditions of intense male relationships.

Literature Guy: Yeah. Straight Greek guys.

Victor Hugo: Did you just—

Literature Guy: They’re just two bros who appreciate each other.

Victor Hugo: Grantaire literally spends the entire story following Enjolras around like a lovesick poet.

Literature Guy: A very supportive friend.

Victor Hugo: He insults him constantly because he’s fascinated by him.

Literature Guy: Friendly teasing.

Victor Hugo: He calls him beautiful.

Literature Guy: Bros compliment each other.

Victor Hugo: He dies beside him. THEY HOLD HANDS.

Literature Guy: True friendship.

Victor Hugo: He wakes up from unconsciousness, sees Enjolras is about to be killed, and chooses to stand with him and die with him.

Literature Guy: Wow. That’s some serious friendship.

Victor Hugo: DID YOU NOT HEAR A SINGLE DAMN WORD I SAID?

Literature Guy: I heard every word.

Victor Hugo: Then explain how you reached “straight.”

Literature Guy: Because they never officially say “I love you.”

Victor Hugo: Sir, I wrote a 1,500-page novel. I am not going to have every character stop the plot to announce their feelings like a stage play.

Literature Guy: So you’re saying they’re not straight?

Victor Hugo: I am saying that if two men are compared to Greek ideals, one worships the other, they die together, and one’s final act is choosing the other person over life itself, perhaps “they’re just bros” is not the only interpretation.

Literature Guy: So… maybe best friends?

Victor Hugo: I am going to pretend I did not hear that.

Literature Guy: Roommates?

Victor Hugo: Get out.

Literature Guy: Revolutionary roommates?

Victor Hugo: OUT.

musicals as timeloops always fuck me up. sweeney will hold lucy, blood on her from his own razor every time. every time the people of france do not rise up, the barricade falls, and marius wakes up to all of his friends dead. again and again the earth is devoured by audrey 2 and the plants. orpheus turns around again and again and again and again and again

[asteralpanda]

it annoys me so so so much when people credit victor hugo with musical lines :(

you think that man could have written "to love another person is to see the face of god"? he'd write "to open your heart to another human being in this world who lives at a similar time to yourself, to love them as mother, brother, father, sister, cousin, friend, husband, wife, is to see the Lord Himself's visage: it is to peer into the soul of God, and such a feeling do all experience, or at least all those with non-unimpenetrable hearts" or something twice as long with fifteen interludes about french politics

Anyway I’m just showing off, sue me for it
