My favorite thing about Victor Hugo is that the Notre Dame Cathedral was a huge eyesore on the verge of collapsing and was planned to be demolished but Victor Hugo was like “hey :( I like that building” and wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame to save it. and it worked

In the book he described the cathedral in the state it was in but also in comparison to what it looked like in the 15th century before it got all fucked up in the French Revolution. His book got translated into a fuck ton of languages and was distributed all around Europe. Tourists who were fans of him would go to see it while in Paris and were appalled to see just how bad of shape it was in and it started to become stain on paris’ reputation.

So finally the king funded the Hella expensive restoration which I imagine was one really fucking gnarly project, the structure it’s self being the tip of the ice burg because of how many religious artifacts and statutes and junk that had been ruined.

So thanks Vicky that’s one hell of a beautiful tower.

a note to langblrs in high school

So I’m in high school right now and I know people who want to be engineers who haven’t even taking physics yet and no one questions it, but when I say I want to be an interpreter and everyone is like “????¿¿” when they find out I’m not fluent in my target languages yet, and I just wanted to write this as a reminder for other high schoolers (and myself) in langblr that you don’t have to be fluent or even very good at your target languages in high school. If you’re letting that stop you, don’t. most of the people I know wanting to go into chemistry aren’t beating themselves up over not taking ap chem. the people I know wanting to become doctors don’t spend their nights self studying anatomy and mcad review books. the people I know wanting to become engineers didn’t get a 5 on the AP physics test. No one expects students going into these careers to be able to do it before going to college, and language-based careers should be viewed the same way. If you’re a high school langblr and you’re only intermediate or beginner in your target languages, don’t beat yourself up, you have plenty of time and higher education to improve!
