i just dont really understand why theyd target les mis? and like. its interrupting the work of actors and crew and house staff who dont have anything to do with fossil fuel corps. people who just paid to see the show who dont have anything to do with it.

i understand les mis is a show about rebellion and humanity but to me it doesnt make any sense.

( i say this as someone whos probably very unaware and very slow to realize the deeper meaning of things so i apologize if it comes off snobby i am just confused !! /genuine )

I'm very sorry if this comes off as rude but like.... "I don't understand why people would use Les Mis as the symbolic centerpiece of an act of protest/rebellion against the government" is just a very strange thing to say, and I'm genuinely not quite sure how to begin to respond XD. Like....it's literally Les Mis. It is Do You Hear the People Sing. The original novel was written to be a political rallying cry, it was written to bind together activists, and it has been used that way thousands of times since its publication in 1862. It's Les Mis, I don't know what else to tell you XD. Also I know this next comparison isn't perfect, but:

“I don’t understand why Les Amis interrupted Lamarque’s funeral.  Obviously I agree with Les Amis’s goals, but was this really the right way to protest? Obviously the government is doing something bad— but was this symbolic event really the right place to talk about it? Why even choose to interrupt this event, and the lives of the workers leading it and everyday people attending it? It wasn’t responsible for what was happening! 

Okay, yeah, I get the funeral is ‘symbolically significant.’  I get that Lamarque has become, in popular culture, a symbol of rebellion and resistance against a government’s unfair policies.  I get Lamarque’s funeral is a pretty big public event that has a lot of symbolic significance ties to ideas of rebellion against the state.

I get that Lamarque’s words are often seen as a rebellious call to action, so illegally interrupting his funeral could be a statement about resisting tyranny. It could be a call to action playing off the popularity and symbolic role that Lamarque has in the public consciousness.

 But at the same time— shouldn’t Les Amis have just gone to the palace and attacked the king directly? Why disrupt this symbolic event instead? They’re not really going after the people responsible! 

After all, there were so many people there who just wanted a normal day. They weren’t responsible for what the government was doing and had nothing to do with it.  They wanted to see the procession, to hear Lafayette’s speech and grieve a political figure they cared for. They wanted to hear people praise ‘resistance’ in the abstract, without actually doing it.

 Weren’t Les Amis disrupting that?  

Aren’t Les Amis bad activists? Isn’t disrupting people’s everyday lives for the sake of 'activism' always inherently a bad thing? I’m not against activism, but isn’t doing that kind of disruptive activism rude? Isn’t disrupting the lives of ordinary people just doing their jobs or going out for a special event evil— no matter why you’re doing it, or what your goals are, or whether the government actually is doing something vile that we should start to stage great events rallying against?

Even if this Lamarque's funeral has special significance because of its symbolic pop cultural ties to rebellion against tyranny—shouldn’t they have just avoided rudely interrupting some regular people’s everyday lives? 

Protests shouldn’t disrupt things. they should be big parades that don’t make anyone uncomfortable, don’t interrupt anything, and don’t disrupt any aspects of ‘normal people’s daily life.’ No one should ever target symbolic events— like a funeral for a political figure or a musical about revolution—  to make a political statement. Protests should be little quiet festivals that cause absolutely no interruption in everyday life so that we can all just safely ignore them, until the climate catastrophe they’re warning us about arrives.”

It’s going to be so hard. so hard to create anything like mpw. there has truly been no show like it. nothing at all. like from episode one, it is pretty much entirely set in the comfort of their home. warm tones, dark lighting, dim and yellow like the ones you keep on at night when you don’t want it to be too bright. and there’s barely any other character except them. of course there’s man-san and mr. man-san but they’re in no way almost involved with their relationship. yoh and segasaki essentially have an established relationship. they’re already living together. have clear layout on who does the chores etc. the story is pretty much all inside their house. no one else is involved. cause yk segasaki comes home after work and there’s yoh. and they say ‘i’m home’, ‘you’re back’.

[andthen-light]

okay girls im going to be a little hashtag critical here but i have been ruminating LONG ENOUGH and i really really do not like that scene in the graphic novel murder on the rockport limited where lucretia recognized the umbrastaff. i understand what they were trying to do and i understand you have to change things for the medium but its kind of a disservice to both lucretia and taakos characters imo. lucretia works so hard to keep the boys from questioning things like why would she have a reaction like that. like they couldve alluded to her recognizing it but a scene like that is so in your face and it takes power away from the scene in crystal kingdom where red robe barry recognizes it. and wrt taakos character like. hes never Particularly trustful of lucretia like on a personal level but overall he trusts the bureau and lucretia until reunion tour. adding in a scene like that at that point in the story makes no sense like u cannot convince me taako would not start questioning what the directors really up to and why she had such a personal reaction.

Theory Regarding "Matt"

Major Spoilers for Canto 6 pt 2

So yeah!!!! How is everyone feeling???? Anyways I have a theory about our Heathcliff and "Matt", in a sense that it's actually "Matt" that is the true representation of Wuthering Height's Heathcliff. Considering how the book progresses, it would make total sense for "Matt" Heathcliff to fit that role—hell he even dies too! So where does that place our Heath? Well I think that our Heath is actually the one that diverges from Wuthering Height's plotline. Other people on here have mentioned that our Heathcliff is different from his book counterpart because he has the other sinners to stand upon as a foundation (compared to his Dead Rabbits self, which has nothing). Additionally, he also has been able to bear witness to the other sinners realizing themselves during the pursuit of their own golden boughs. So even though he's distorting (Carmen was pissed after Ahab skipped the cutscene), I think we'll see our Heathcliff be able to pull through after being beaten to his senses. He did request that the rest of the Limbus company crew do that in the case he lost his mind after all. All of the other sinners have been referenced pretty well to their corresponding source material so far, and while Heathcliff has also been treated in a similar manner, there was still always the looming fact of there being no positive outlook for him in base Wuthering Heights (especially since he was surrounded by terrible people, which in turn causes many to join the feedback loop of cruel behavior). I think PM intended to follow the same process with Heathcliff, however instead of sacrificing our Heath, instead they let "Matt" die to not only confirm this idea, but also push Limbus's plot forward as well.

"She was a ruthless woman who injured many, myself and my sainted mother included. She was quite capable of playing the King false, I promise you. My advice to you, Sister, is to forget you ever had a mother like that." Elizabeth caught the note of obsessive grievance in Mary's voice. She knew instinctively that it would be unwise to provoke her further by arguing with her. "Forgive me, Sister, but I had heard otherwise," she said simply. "Then you heard wrongly. She had me sent to wait upon you when you were a baby, and she told those that had charge of me to beat me for the little bastard I had become. How could you think such a one innocent?" "I am very sorry for your afflictions, Sister," Elizabeth whispered, aware more of the need to be diplomatic than of the desire to defend her mother. "They were not of my making, nor my desire." "How could you think her innocent?" "I heard things," she answered, then grew a touch defiant. "The whole world does not think my mother guilty."

everyone shits on mras and antifeminists for being clueless morons (good) but ill tell you what. they rlly succeeded at turning the societal perception of misogyny from 'a serious and pervasive form of oppression present in every human society on earth' to Dumb Bitches On The Internet Complaining About Nothing Again. ive seen so many leftists talk about misogyny and fully insinuate that it's such a pissbaby form of oppression that it's completely overridden by whatever other privilege a woman might have.... or at worst parrot the exact same mra talking points about how much worse men have it under their own fucking power structure. Girl we're never getting out of here are we

[shions-chin-scar]

What is your opinion on why Shion was voted one of the worst boyfriends and why?

Hi nonnie! Thanks for the ask, that's something I've actually been dying to talk about haha

Also, before I start, I'd like to mention that the rankings are about who's most and least desirable as a boyfriend, not who would objectively be better or worse (thanks @yokohamabeans for bringing it up!)

I briefly touched up on it in this post but basically, I think his personality is just... a really big turn off. Whether you think it's a front, a defense mechanism or his genuine self, no one can deny that Shion is incredibly arrogant and self-centered. He's also impulsive, quick to anger and violence, and not particularly smart. Basically, he's not premium partner material. And while he IS genuinely loyal and even attached to his people (hello Mr "my favorite place to be is with Tenjiku"), meaning he has the potential to care about those other than himself, he hides it because his desire to brag, show off and stroke his own ego is stronger (example: throwing Izana under the bus by telling Rindou that they both could take over the world if he didn't exist, even though his true dream is to serve Izana and he was clearly devastated by his death). In short, Shion's flaws are many, his qualities are few and buried so, so deep underneath all said flaws that he's the least desirable out of all the Tenjiku boys, except Izana and Sanzu who are both a special type of creepy

Also I think Wakui hates Shion and wanted to dunk on him any way he could, but even he realized that putting him below the likes of the other two would be too unfair. So he made him only slightly better (but still worse than Kisaki lmao)

Wait I'm confused why did Eddie say 'this one is for you Chrissy' when he literally did it to help robin, steve and nancy
