l'introduction

hi i'm pan. my wife's favorite book in the entire world is les miserables. i'm embarking on a journey to read the brick for her. there will be liveblogging: #every day i'm learning

my first introduction to les mis was a midi version of on my own that i became deeply obsessed with as a youth in the wilds of the internet. i did absolutely no further research into the musical.

i have, as of starting this blog, seen the 2000 french miniseries and the 2012 musical film. wish me luck!

I know nobody asked for a photoshoot of my kitten wearing the heart of the ocean but in my defense nobody told me I couldn’t either

There’s a lot of talk about writers who can churn out hundreds of thousands of words for one single story and how powerful they supposedly are, but nobody ever talks about the readers who read said stories and then go, “I binged this in two days.” What do you mean, you read this in two days?! This is five hundred thousand words! It took me years to write and you just sit down and go, “I’m gonna read that in a weekend”? What else do y’all read for fun over a single weekend, the entire Lord of the Rings???

Writers who can write hundreds of thousands of words are powerful, maybe. But even we pale in fear before speed-readers.

you cannot gender me in a way that matters

[edhelharn]

alternatively I do think it’s funny to be like

Villain: fool! the prophecy says that no man may kill me!

Trans Man Hero: *ineffectual stabbing*

Trans Man Hero: okay so like. the prophetic acknowledgement of my gender is good but also. very inconvenient right now.

Yeah yeah Rum Tum Tugger is all suave and cool and shit but he also ran around the stage playing bagpipes during Munkustrap’s performance for Old Deuteronomy and then thought he did a good job (which he did, obviously)

granted i havent read lotr since i was 13 but the way legolas joins the fellowship always cracks me up, like hes literally a prince but they sent him as a messenger to basically tell the council like "whoopsiedoodles we fucked up and gollum is gone, that's what you get for entrusting him to the party elves of mirkwood you know how we get" and he feels SO bad he joins this super deadly quest like imagine you're thranduil and you're like "hey son can you go to elrond's house and tell him we fucked up royally" and your son is like sure pops can do but then you don't hear from him for like two months so you call elrond like hey e-dog what's good have you seen my son. and elrond is like. well i dont know how to tell you this but he went on a homoerotic voyage to the most dangerous place on earth. id be so mad
