I've been wondering, do people outside of France know about the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen? (Declaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen, or DDHC in French)

'cause like, it's such a core part of my understanding of laws and moral as a whole, because I learnt it young, but it's also, something written in French two centuries and a half ago, and that would make sense if people outside of France weren't teached about it, y'know?

because like, if –and again it would be logical– people outside of France aren't raised to abide by those principes that would maybe explain some bonkers conversation I've had on the Internet...

so anyway, poll time!

(here's the most well known illustration of it in case some people are more visual about memory)

reblogs are appreciated, feel free to comment and precise a little which part of the world you are from, how you did learn about it (maybe this post?), what you think of those principles, or anything really, I'm curious

(btw here's a link to the Wikipedia article for people who don't know about it but are curious)

I feel like my thoughts and opinions on Lu Guang are a little different than a lot of the fanbase and I’m kind of bewildered? I just finished my rewatch of s2 to see if I missed something or misinterpreted something but my thoughts haven’t really changed and I’m just kind of. Confused.

If you reread the Dance portion of Fire and Blood after spending near any amount of time reading about how Empress Matilda was written about — not about Matilda herself, not the history, but specifically the historiography about how chroniclers and historians constructed narratives around Matilda — the story, Rhaenyra's story, becomes a lot less "ambiguous."

GRRM doesn't just know history, he knows historiography. He knew what he was doing. And it's a shame, and a little troubling, that so many people — including the writers of HotD — don't see it.

i have a strange fondness for the sort of henry fanart from years ago where they'd portray him as weird and sad and delicate and weak and sick and kind of obsessive. where they'd make him pitiful. it's definitely not a full characterization, in that it misses other key aspects of his person, but that characterization is still a part of him i think. it's cathartic to me. henry "i'm wretched and i hate myself and i will die for you" ledore

Lumon's absolute lack ob subtlety regarding, well, pretty much everything on the severed floors is right on that line between horror and comedy because it seems like they're not even trying to be convincing but they don't even need to when they control any and all information so utterly

my classes went SO well today I will cry

That’s just your oc (negative): you have taken this character and bastardized them so much that they are unrecognizable. The way you interpret this character is so awful that it genuinely makes me question if it’s actually your favorite character with how far removed you’ve made them from the source material. The only thing that has been kept the same is his name. But even then, it’s practically a cheap sticker with how easily it can come off.

This is your oc now (positive): you’ve taken this character and put ever ounce of your love into them so much that you have every right to own them. You’ve have absolutely beautiful takes and even the writers themselves look like fools in comparison. This character deserves to be held and written in your hands. You’ve captured every thing about them that in return it has captured everything about you in ways the original writers could never comprehend. They are yours.

Some fromsoft fans that get hung up on things not being said explicitedly are so annoying "it is not said it is theorized" mannn do you want maria to turn to the camera and say "hello i am ladymaria oftheastralclocktower i committed suicide" instead of taking in the rather obvious context clues

projected my gender feelings onto a character too much and now everytime i see somebody use she/her for Vil i feel like people are misgendering me, personally ✌️

idk if it means anything really, but i think it's interesting how after all their time together as a couple in a christianity-adjacent world, lucifer and lilith only had one (1) child, and it was only 200 years ago at that

the sutra that kuukou chants in terminus is made up btw!!!! it’s very indicative of kuukou’s buddhism lol, not quite right but at it’s core, teaches those core principles

So fucking real. I need to be her sword and conquer any who dare rise against her
