every once and a while i see empires (particularly s1) fics where Fwhip’s full name is “Fail Whip” (aka what his username actually stands for). i entirely understand why people do this HOWEVER. the implication that fwhip and gem’s parents named their children “gemini” and “FAIL”?????? funniest thing ever especially because no one ever questions it.

Been trying to not bother anyone, but I am wondering if anyone could send donations. I can't pay rent today (even if I pay the half I will on credit) and more fees are adding on, and outside of some help I've barely been eating for a long time here. I'm just struggling to afford rising costs of living with constant new crises happening, and I haven't been able to get someone to take over my lease, so I can't just couchsurf. Not at all asking anyone to over extend or send me more if they've had, but if anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
(I have seen as many case managers and financial aid advisors as I can and am using every resource I can too! There's just not much where I am now.)

Imagine getting adopted after your parents were brutally murdered through circumstances that were seemingly your fault, being told that it was so you could serve as both an experiment (for your foster father to prove humans could follow Vulcan teachings) and a tool (for your foster brother’s development), seemingly failing both of them, then later being told by your foster mother who you thought you had a healthy relationship with that the reason you were given as much love and affection as you were when you were a child was because it had to be denied to the child she really wanted to give it to, her real child. Oh and that she thought you were the reason your family was falling apart. Michael is a better person than me because I would’ve said fuck everyone and taken a nap.

12, Enjolras and Grantaire
12. What's a headcanon you have for these characters?
So we all know Enjolras was heavily based off Saint-Just, under the impression that he was an unrelenting archangel of the revolution. Hugo was heavily influenced by historians of his era (Michelet and Lamartine), and this impression of Saint-Just would reappear again in his later work, Quatrevingt-treize.
I would argue that Saint-Just was rather different from the stoic image that Hugo describes in his works, even when under the consideration that most of the characters in Les Mis are highly symbolized. Saint-Just is very difficult to understand, not only because of how short his political career was, but also due to the fact that, after his execution, he was greatly demonized in Thermidorian propaganda. Current documents do give us a few glimpses of his inner thoughts, but it is far from enough for us to truly understand his personality even by a little.
What we do know, however, if he most likely lived, laughed, loved before the tumults of 1789. There was a rumor of him being in an ambiguous relationship with a girl from his hometown, he wrote plays that bore none of the clipped, serious tone so characteristic in his future speeches. L'Organt, an epic poem he wrote during his stay at the reformatory for stealing his mother's silverware, consisted of both political and sexual topics. He was capable of singing Italian airs during his lifetime. After his execution, among his confiscated properties, there was a flute.
While Hugo emphasizes Enjolras's virginity, I'd like to think that he actually understands--or at least has a vague idea of--the shittalking and the vulgar jokes from Les Amis. Sure, he'd probably not be very up to date with all the slang, but he should have a basic idea of it. I feel like this is also important for his revolutionary activities, especially in communicating with people of different origins.
So when Grantaire presents him with his suggestive jokes, Enjolras is probably not impressed. What a hopeless idiot, he thinks as he ignores him, again.
-
I haven't made up my mind on whether Grantaire knows that Enjolras knows. He worships Enjolras, and idolatry is so easy to blind us all... :)
