WHEN YOU ADD A DRY BEVERAGE POWDER (SAY, ORANGE GATORADE) TO CARBONATED WATER (SAY, IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE SOMETHING RESEMBLING ORANGE SODA) THE CARBONATION REACTS WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL MOTE OF POWDER ALL AT ONCE AND YOUR DRINK EXPLODES, SCARING THE HELL OUT OF YOU AND MAKING A MESS IN YOUR KITCHEN. FOR AN OPTIMAL CARBONATED GATORADE EXPERIENCE, I RECOMMEND POURING THE CARBONATED WATER OVER THE POWDER, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

To all CHICAGO HOMELESS AND PPL WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO HEAT: CALL 311 IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF TRANSPORT OR ASSISTANCE. WARMING CENTERS ARE ALL HANDS ON DECK. LIBRARIES, POLICE STATIONS, AND PARK DISTRICT FIELD HOUSES WILL BE OPEN FOR ANYONE IN NEED OF SHELTER.

IF YOU REFUSE TO GO TO A SHELTER, THE CITY IS SUPPLYING BUSES FOR YOU TO SLEEP IN THAT ARE WARMED. PLEASE FIND ONE! PLEASE A TENT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS WEATHER. 

I UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF NOT WANTING TO GO TO THE WARMING CENTERS. PLEASE FIND SHELTER. IT IS TOO COLD TO MAKE IT OUTSIDE.

If you are in chicago and see a homeless person, please try to ask them if they are going to any of these options. They may not know this or are hesitant. A kind stranger speaking to them might make them want to go to shelter.

These lights illuminated the man clad in black; his profile, of a young and charming complexion, was outlined against the dark background with the purity of a medallion; he leaned his elbow on the corner of a panel of the door, and rested his brow on his left hand, an unconsciously graceful attitude, which set off the height of the brow by the smallness of the hand.

From the front, my edition of Les Misérables (”De Elendige”) looks pretty cool. I’m all for that Tricolour, yes yes yes. Heck, even the side is neat - look at lil’ Cosette. 

BUT WHEN YOU TURN IT AROUND LOOK WHO IS STARING AT YOU LIKE SOME CREEP WHO IS JUST THINKING “i’m not even sorry:)))”

you never can run from

okay so this post is wrong but what the heck it’s a Tumblr post, right, it’s mostly a joke, only it’s so perfectly echoing an idea I’ve seen elsewhere too, from actual paid critics and academic critiques, that Hugo “wasn’t writing for emotional teenagers”, that he’d be horrified by fandom, that he was too High and Erudite for the likes of  screaming theater kids and emotional teenagers

y’all. Y’all. 

Victor Hugo knew what fandom was.  And he absolutely LOVED it.

Oh good grief, there he goes again. Not to mention there’s this little tidbit. Is he just doing this for the press? Ether way he needs to get over himself.

… there’s going to be more sex than Victor Hugo put in. “But it’s mainly about redemption,” [writer Andrew] Davies added.

Earlier this year, Davies admitted to adding sex scenes to keep viewers interested, before explaining that he uses sex very much as a literary device in his adaptations of modern classics.

“People say that I could sex up the Tube map,” he said. “[Sex] is very useful, because people know it won’t be boring. Sex is a wonderfully disruptive force. It can make everything go in a totally different direction.”

Keep in mind Davis’ use of what he called sex in Pride and Prejudice was fantastic, but it was downright terrible in his adaptation of A Room with a View.

🔥 for enjolras, also i love hearing about working class history dont apologise! 

(ahahaha thank youuuu :D)

Okay, so sticking with the idea of “unpopular” as just “not something I see a lot of” rather than an argument

there is really nowhere NEAR enough discussion of how hilaritragic Enjolras’ entire existence is?? I don’t mean like, in terms of Suffering–none of the Amis lead the pack on that one in the Brick– but in terms of narrative structure, like

BATS ARE MAYBE THE CUTEST THINGS IN EXISTENCE A+ for good taste!

They are fuzzy floofballs who FLY! :D

AND THEY EAT MOSQUITOES AND POLLINATE FLOWERS AND ARE ADORABLE LITTLE FUZZY THINGS WITH WINGS THAT FLITTER THROUGH THE SKY WITH SUCH GRACE!

THIS IS THE KIND OF ENTHUSIASM I LIKE TO SEE! And they have squinchy little faces and make happy sounds!

honestly I feel like the people who hated Romanticism were its best advocates 

like 

Actual Romantics:  We’re gonna make a new modern art and hang out with friends and we’re sick of people being jerks about relationships?!? Like why do people do that. 

Critics: YOU WILL TEAR DOWN THE MONARCHY AND DESTROY THE SOCIAL ORDER AND FORCE US TO EXPLORE NEW DIMENSIONS AND MAKE HORRIBLE NEW INVENTIONS THAT LEAD US ALL TO A TERRIFYING WORLD OF EASE AND AESTHETICS AND PROBABLY KISSING

Actual Romantics:  …Okay that too, we want that too now, that sounds awesome? let’s do that.
