As you should tbh

Yeah well said lol

Even the "qui aime son prochain est plus près de dieu sur la terre" part fits with the novel so well

Why I like the French translation of “Do you hear the People Sing (Reprise)” better than the original English one:

For the will of the people whose voice you cannot smother and whose song gets reborn and whose song is already reborn; We want the light of day to rip away the mask of the night so that it lights up our land and changes our lives.

The glorious day will come when in his march towards his ideals Man will go to progress, from wrong to right, from false to true A dream can die but you cannot kill the future…

Join us in the crusade of those who believe in the human race; For every barricade that falls a hundred will rise tomorrow. For the will of the people a drum sings in the horizon, It comes to announce the big day, and it’s tomorrow!

Who wants that wishy-washy “Garden of the Lord” bullshit. Progress is here, and we’re going to fight for it.

so today I drove past a traffic sign that said 'hey teens buckling up is totes yeet yo'

i wish i was joking but after we screamed a bit my brother attempted to get a picture as proof, failed, and ended up with this masterpiece that pretty much sums up the whole experience

[astarinthejawsoftheclouds]

I love this song so much

Also un rêve peut mourir mais on n'enterre jamais l'avenir is a Jehan line

This song makes me want to get up and fight

The English one is ig softer? I find the french version to keep the revolutionary aspect of it better

Who needs energy drinks when we have this

Six of crows has one of the most fascinating and complex depictions of religion in any fantasy series, ever, especially one that is not speciticaly about religion. Instead it presents multiple religious traditions and even different concepts of what religion is and has characters with boldly different relations to it: characters who don’t mention it at all (wylan), characters who seem broadly “secular“ (to use a messy term) but still recognise cultural aspects like reliquaries and saints (Nina), characters who have a changing relationship to traditions and customs and for whom reanalysis/reconnection is key to growth and evolution (Jesper’s incredibly important scene where he thinks of himself as Zowa/Blessed), characters for whom religion is a central justification of a violent and oppressive world view but whom also have to grapple and change their understanding of it even if they don’t reject it completely (Matthias), characters who reject it completely, including for the hypocrisy of organised religion in their own society after personal experience (Kaz), and characters for whom religion is a KEY aspect of personal connection to an oppressed minority culture and an important act of selfhood and liberation (Inej).

Mobility aids and sensory aids aren’t a “worst case scenario”

Stop acting like it’s a tragedy when someone starts using a cane or wheelchair, and stop acting like it’s someone admitting defeat if they need ear defenders or stim toys.

Aids are a good thing. They allow us to live better than we could before, and that’s something to celebrate, not demean and be doom and gloom about.

Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someone’s life? A coworker can be like “I’ve missed seeing you” and I’m just like “???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?”
