To the sewers!

I feel like Victor Hugo would love this transition to the sewers setting

Jean Valjean catches Marius falling from having been shot. He points at an escape route and tells the audience he'll go via the sewerage. (Les Misérables peking opera, 2006)

The fact that I cannot understand Chinese at all, and this was one of the few terminologies I could read (since Japanese uses the same characters) made me accidentally laugh out loud.

It was a jumpscare of comprehension.

I will say, this is obviously my first experiencing watching a Peking Opera, so I'm just not used to the style of writing yet. I really love it though!! I can't believe this artistic, fun, acrobatic way of theatre was hidden away from me 😭😭

hello enjoltaire nation, today I give you another offering

Three Javerts on one stage: Michael Ball, Philip Quast and Bradley Jaden at the opening night of "Les Miserables - The Arena Spectecular" in Sydney.

“ships should at least make sense.” no. ships can make sense, sure. but they’re just fictional characters we play with for fun. they’re fantasies, not a fucking thesis paper. so no, they don’t always have to make sense. they just have to make you happy (or horny).

let people enjoy (fictional) things however they want to enjoy.

the real reason Marius left

the big three questions of media analysis: what the author wanted to say, what they actually said, and what they didn’t know they were saying

Communion

Are you seeing my vision here with Priest Enjolras? I'm planning out my fic with Priest Enj and Witch Grantaire and imagining this scene where Enj gives him communion wine. Grantaire is just along for the ride, he enjoys teasing Enj and doesn't believe in any of it but sure he'll let Enj feed him some wine. (We'll see what happens, I'm still formulating the fic.) Notice that Enj looks concerned and is blushing, that's because he's extremely attracted to him and doesn't know how to handle that.

Also nervous to post but just want to make clear I'm not promoting religion, I'm not religious, and the fic will not be overly religious feeling. In fact it will be Grantaire convincing him to break his vows so they can be together, so I guess it's the opposite.

It takes place in the past but sorta fairytale like (imagine like maybe Beauty and the Beast village feeling sorta thing?)
