Seeing that the whole les mis fandom love Daniel Diges' Enjolras (los mis madrid) I feel the moral obligation to inform you of the fact that he went to eurovision

A while ago I found these German editions of Les Mis at a little free library! The translation was done by Paul Wiegler and Wolfgang Günther and it comes in three volumes. Here pictured with my English Brick for scale.

Not sure if I would have taken them otherwise (jk, I probably would've), but they come with these cool illustrated endpapers. I'd love to tell you who they're by, but it just says they were created based on contemporary illustrations.

Volume 1:

Volume 2:

Volume 3:

Also I'm not sure whether they show actual scenes from the book or they're just there for the aesthetic, but if anyone knows what's depicted here, I'd love to know!

These editions were published by the GDR publishing house Verlag Volk und Welt, which, according to Wikipedia, was the country's most important publisher of international literature. This also means they would have been subject to censorship prior to publication, so I wonder if/what they might have taken issue with in these. They're clearly still plenty long, soo... I'd read them and check but I'm still not done with the English translation so that has priority rn 😅

Anyway, if you have some scenes you would like me to take a look at or have any questions, I'd be happy to answer :)

It’s Francis Crozier’s penguin, everyone!

No need to be sad, she does have other songs!

She recently started a solo project under the name Krea (krea_music_ on IG) and released an EP called 'The Callows' last year.

Here's the Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/4XYtEpC1u3a3cqXsZQnI9x?si=HDL65EggTR2M7NNHjUd09Q

But also, she's part of the band Wyvern Lingo with Caoi de Barra and Saoirse Duane, all three of them really skilled musicians. They have two great albums that I highly recommend, one self-titled, one called 'Awake You Lie', and she sings plenty on those. Fun fact: On Hozier's first tour Karen and Caoimhe used to do backing vocals, so there's also videos of Karen singing 'In a Week' with him live, and you can spot them in some of the old BBC Live Lounge videos of Hozier and his first appearance on Other Voices among others.

Speaking of Hozier, there's also another track they feature on together called 'In Your Own Sweet Time' by Zaska, which is a favourite of mine. See here: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/79Bgpf10NtBBKN2aAxA6OJ?si=3b7ddbad8e824ffe

So there's plenty, with more to come in the future, I'm sure! :)

Was listening to in a week by hozier and went to see what other songs Karen cowley had sung (her voice is seriously so ethereal) only to find she has no songs or albums of her own!!??

I’m so seriously so shocked and sad lmao

how well can you recognize the characters of amc's the terror uquiz

disclaimer: i have face blindness and i had no idea who anyone was the first SEVERAL times i watched the show. there is no judgment here <3

[hyphen-8-it]

this has probably been said, but the way that in that Ep 1 dinner scene Fitzjames has pushed away from the table to be almost parallel to Sir John whereas Crozier is sitting neatly to the side of it like the rest of the officers...

The visual distinction of James as the de facto Second when what he's bringing to the table is literally dramatic recountings of his prior adventures, unlike Francis' actual Arctic experience.. ugh, this damn show. it hurts me.

Cosette is better than me because if my weirdo recluse father suddenly showed up with a massive, festering burn scar acting completely unconcerned and telling me to call a vet for him instead of a human doctor, I would have simply started killing.

honourable mention on this day of days to Caius Martius Coriolanus for also getting stabbed by conspirators

I've already had the thought a couple episodes ago but I'm considering more and more seriously to upend my existing plans and write my Bachelor's thesis about Burrow's End... I'm doing an English Lit degree tho so I'd probably have to frame it in the context of it being an adaptation/reimagining/whatever of Watership Down to justify that, but I don't think that's outside of the realm of possibility.

Especially with the recent episodes the skill of Aabria and her players at crafting this story has just become so apparent and I already have a Google Doc with notes on Last Bast, so I'm kinda already doing the work.. What's holding me back tho is the fear that I'll taint my deep enjoyment of this series with the very real stress and pressure of academic writing. I really don't want to look at this very cool piece of art like it's work, but it has been absolutely blasting my brain to pieces lately. Much to think about.

“You’ve stood here for generations. Was that on four legs or two?”

“The humans are already here.”

Okay, small observation here between Ep 7 & 8. Back in Episode 2, I noticed Brennan's hair changed to look kinda wet but it didn't really seem significant then. Now, however, there's multiple PC's with that look, which caught my attention.

Here's Brennan's hair changing from Episode 1 to Episode 2 + how it looks in Episode 7:

And here are Siobhan, Erika, and Jasper in Episode 7:

What are we thinking about that, folks?

My first thought was that it had something to do with their closeness to the Blue? As in Jaysohn almost fell into the reactor in Episode 6, Ava took an actual dip, and Tula has apparently been undead for a while. As for Jasper tho... foreshadowing maybe? There's also the fact that in the pin set Ava, Tula, and Jasper all glow in the dark... But I'm not really sure. Any other theories?

The kids don't need 'Education', their mom will do just fine!

[hyphen-8-it]

okay this is not a prediction just a wish a hope a dream but... I really want Tula to kill Bennet. I feel like Brennan keeps trying to emphasize that Tula clocking him as dtf isn't about her being interested but her trying to figure out how to use him. And everyone keeps glossing over it and I understand why but I'm actually so interested in that aspect of Tula? She's calculating, she's smart, she's the kind of person to focus on the goal above everything else. And for her, the goal is her children. And if she can use Bennet to secure safety for them, she will. I just also think that if she clocks him as a threat to her kids, no matter how much kindness she has shown him, no matter how much he trusts her, she will not hesitate to kill him. Just like she didn't hesitate to go for the heart of the bear.

[hyphen-8-it]

Investing now on the theory that Tula was either there for whatever killed Geoffery or him still being alive when she got there.

I think we've seen hazmat suit minis in some of the promo materials so I assume humans will actually make their way into this campaign, but I do love the idea that the humans coming back is a Boogeyman that the first stoats prop up to keep order

my mood since episode 4 honestly
