I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Grantaire canonically being an art school dropout explains literally Everything about his character. No wonder he’s Like That— no wonder he’s a pretentious burnout who has tons of random media/art history knowledge but is ultimately lost, directionless, and lacking in ambition. XD

Modern-day Grantaire is the Art School Dropout with an amateurish Ms-Paint adjacent furry art style who’s constantly making posts like “Emergency Commissions! Help a Queer Neurodivergent Trans Man Pay Rent!” And only his friends Joly & Bossuet commission him, out of friendship, not because his art is very good or because he ever finishes anything. Then because Grantaire is Grantaire, he obviously crashes out and only gets halfway through Joly’s furry commission of Rouge the Bat before giving up. But his friends never ask Grantaire for a refund on their unfinished commissions, because they never expected him to finish anyway.

The barriere du Maine scene in a modern AU would be like. One day Enjolras “consents to try him” and commissions Grantaire for a sketch of his revolutionary eagle fursona, as an act of pity. Grantaire spends a few hours crashing out over how to draw it properly, promising enjolras he’ll honor his commission contract, swearing up and down he’ll finish the furry commission this time—before giving up to go play Minecraft

I am forever grateful to an archivist mentor I worked with in grad school for some resume advice she gave me and thought maybe others would also benefit from it.

Keep a Master Resume.

This is not the resume you send out. This is a detailed resume of every job (with dates and location, supervisor and location phone number are a bonus) and as many skills/duties/accomplishments you can possibly think of for each and every one of the jobs and education programs you can think of.

She showed me hers, it was about 25 pages long, and formatted exactly like a regular resume for ease. Every time she would learn a new program/skill, she'd add it. Change in title or duties, add it. Complete something big/special/complicated/new to her/professionally significant, she would add it. This way when she went up for a promotion or raise, she had a detailed record of highlights to pick from to show she deserved it. There was no "when was that? Did I submit that last round of reviews?"

Applying to a new job? Pick and choose items from your Master Resume to plug in to the resume or CV you will be sending based on the job posting. You don't need to rewrite it, just cut and paste relevant details.

11 year old me thought every one of her interests was cringe & had to be justified with self deprecation but looking back with a more developed brain I can say confidently that the 2 paragraph yaoi subplot in les mis IS fire.

Taking a break from my usual minhag of drawing a comic page for Purim just because I was so inspired by Alphonse Mucha lol!

I remember that when everything was happening with Noah Schnapp, so many people were saying that ‘he’s a white coloniser!’ ‘he’s clearly European!’ and ‘how are we supposed to think he’s indigenous to the Middle East when he looks like that?!’ They were screaming so much about he couldn’t possibly be from the swana region due to being pale, despite the fact that… wait for it…

Noah Schnapp is a Moroccan Jew.

The exact the same thing happened with Jerry Seinfeld too, despite him being a Syrian Jew.

But what this tells me is that so many American and European leftists fundamentally do not understand what North Africans and Southwest Asians look like. They do not understand that many Middle Eastern groups are pale, many Middle Eastern groups share features with Europeans— I mean, the Middle East literally borders Europe, did you not expect us to have similarities? This stretches back to the ancient world too. We know that in Yehuda there were gingers, as shown by King David*. Iirc, studies on Rameses the second’s remains show that he most likely had an olive tanned complexion and reddish-blondish hair, similar to a European Mediterranean look— which makes total sense seeing as Egypt is literally a Mediterranean country as well

It’s not just Jews. Persians, Kurds, Assyrians, Copts, Amazigh, Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula**, all of these ethnic groups are incredibly diverse in their features, even without any significant genetic influence from other areas. You cannot just project American and European black and white concepts of race onto the Middle East and act as if that is reality. The world is not split into pale people in the north, brown people in the middle, and black people in the south, and if you genuinely believe that then you really need to look at some pictures of the groups that you’re claiming to be the defender of. Please. I’m so tired of this bullshit lol

*I know that the historical evidence for David is shaky at best and we’re not sure if he was real or not (I personally believe it’s a King Arthur sort of situation where there was a real person here that got turned into legend), what I’m trying to say is that if the Ivrim could have a figure like this who was ginger, then the Ivrim clearly had gingers. Nobody come for me please

**not adding other Arabs because there tends to be genetic mixes with other groups, and my point is about how even without distinct genetic markers from each other, middle easterners groups can turn out with a super intense variation in appearance, especially skin tone
