abandoned grain elevator, highway 195 // dec. 2024

btw ill just put it into the record that that trevor brown guy totally skeeves me out but theres something to be said for art that disturbs the viewer on a personal level. like hey man i love your work but if i see you its on sight im really beating your ass

loving music theatre with all of your heart but not having a bit talent is such a disappointing combination

i relate to javert because as soon as i make one (1) mistake i too immediately request banishment and death

Les Miserables needs big budget television adaptation specifically so that the fifth season can wander off into a three-part documentary about the history of the Paris sewer system right in the middle of the the story’s climactic confrontation. This and this alone would justify its existence.

Yes, there is a bouncy castle and a ball pit!

My contribution to this meme

Because I’m standing firm with this I decided to update it to be a little more specific since some people aren’t getting the hint.

Sometimes I feel bad for Les Mis fans who are only on the twink side of the fandom and haven't even dabbled in the old man content. Like, what do you mean you don't love Jean Valjean with your whole heart? What do you mean you don't know what the cunty Javert pose is? What do you mean you haven't seen The Gay Adaptation?

Twinks are temporary. Old men are eternal.

Have you checked out 「ルールブルーの友らへ」 “To the Friends of L'Heure Bleue” yet?

As a fan of this Japanese web manga, which brings the ABC’s Friends from Les Misérables to life, I wanted to share that you can still read the first four chapters online for free! But hurry—once it’s released as a printed volume, these chapters will no longer be available on the web.

If you’re outside of Japan, now’s your chance to read before the print version becomes hard to get. There’s no confirmation yet whether it’ll be available for international shipping, so don’t miss out!

Ahh I saw this but didn’t know it would be taken down!! Do you know if there’s anyway people can buy it even if we don’t live in the same country as the author? Is there anyway to ask the author about the possibility of getting digital copies for international people? I would really love to have a copy until I can find someone to translate it…but the language barrier prevents me from reaching out to the author XD.

A lot of non-Japanese people in our discord server (including a couple of people who speak/read Japanese but don’t live in Japan) have even really excited about this

Writing a Manipulative Character

- A manipulative character is a master of influence, skilled at bending others to their will without them even realizing it. Show their ability to read people, understanding their desires, fears, and weaknesses, and then use this knowledge to subtly guide their actions and decisions.

- These characters often present a facade of charm and trustworthiness. Highlight their charismatic nature and how they can easily win people over, making others believe that they have their best interests at heart, while secretly pulling the strings.

- A manipulative character is adept at creating and controlling narratives. Demonstrate their talent for spinning stories, spreading misinformation, and planting seeds of doubt to achieve their objectives. They always have a backup plan and can think several steps ahead.

- They thrive on secrecy and deception. Illustrate how they carefully conceal their true intentions and motives, keeping their schemes hidden while appearing innocent or even benevolent. They might use half-truths and strategic omissions to maintain control.

- Show their capacity for patience and strategic thinking. A manipulative character knows that some plans take time to come to fruition. They are willing to wait, gradually nudging events and people in their desired direction until they achieve their goal.

- Highlight their emotional intelligence. These characters can read a room, detect subtle shifts in mood, and adjust their approach accordingly. They know exactly when to apply pressure, offer comfort, or feign vulnerability to manipulate others.

- They often exploit relationships and social dynamics. Depict how they use friendships, family ties, and professional connections to their advantage, playing people against each other or leveraging loyalty and trust to further their own ends.

- A manipulative character is skilled at deflecting blame and responsibility. Show how they can twist situations to make others seem at fault, creating scapegoats or diverting attention from their own actions. They are experts at maintaining a clean image while orchestrating chaos behind the scenes.

- They use flattery and validation as tools. Illustrate their ability to make others feel special, understood, and valued, all the while steering them towards choices that serve the manipulator's agenda.

- Lastly, demonstrate the manipulative character's adaptability. They can quickly change tactics if their initial approach fails, always finding new ways to influence and control those around them. They are chameleons, constantly adjusting their persona to fit the needs of the moment.

writing tips - fevers

guys so the injury post absolutely fucking exploded (500 notes in 24 hours is a lot for me) and the fever part really threw yall for a loop.

I didn't go into it but I can! just to clear up questions.

Fevers are funky asf

like, there are so many factors that indicate when a fever is like a big deal and when it's not. part of it has to do with the age of the patient, how long the fever lasts, any causes or prexisting conditions....

Like this:

If person is feverish due to an infection, their symptoms are gonna be slightly different than someone who is fighting the flu. this is because the antibodies are attacking different parts of the nervous system with different kinds of chemicals blah de blah blah blah.

The younger the patient, the more susceptible they are. if the character is a child, a fever of 102 F is way worse than a 30 year old man experiencing that. It'll take a larger toll on the baby's body.

Some people have naturally higher body temps. There is a standard deviation away from the target temp that is still ok. Some people simply exist at 99.2 F, even though for some that's febrile.

idk man it's weird people are weird don't @ me about it.

obviously it's bio science which means not everything has exactly a clear answer. there are so mnay variables at play that it's easier just to blanket statement the whole thing.

because this isn't a blog for medical advice.

please don't use this blog for medical advice.

100% of death.

thanks guys love the effort
