it's crazy bc i feel like i cant remember any of the french lit i read for my degree studies like none of them stood out to me in any lasting way? at least not yet. but tht quote from the critic of biswas n hugo from les mains sales non récupérable live rent free in my brain n i did those at a level

[faggotryandtransjesterism]

anyways i can only assume that the 2.9 rating on letterboxd is because people wanted it to be a stupidsilly movie bc it's set in high school and has teenaged characters, but "O" 2001 is actually an incredibly thoughtful and provocative adaptation of Othello that understands the themes of the original well enough to build on and play with them. it's got truth, reputation, nature, jealousy, it's got it all. most importantly, it captures both the disgust and the sympathy you necessarily feel for Othello without compromising either. it knows you Have to have both or else you become complicit in Iago/Hugo's narrative. AND it does all that even through a noticable shift in framework!!! in modernizing the themes of racism and misogyny, it shifts the focus from personal violence perpetuated by and through racial stigma to systemic violence perpetuated through personal vendettas, and somehow it doesn't sacrifice anything along the way. it allows O to be complicit in the violence, and then it makes damn sure the curtain is drawn back on whose nature he's reflecting. and this isn't a scene for scene, line for line adaptation, which makes it all the more incredible, because the writer understood the story well enough to tell the same story again without using any of the same words. literally nothing will ever be as compelling as O's last scene, and this is maybe the best Othello adaptation ever made, source: trust me bro.

If you magically got given a signed book by any author, living or dead, what book would you choose?

Dang, that's a great question, anon! And one I'm torn on how to answer.

If we could do 'impossible,' I'd really like Jane Austen to sign Persuasion, but her being dead for six months before the book came out makes that... very unlikely haha. I'd lose my shit over a signed copy of the manuscript of Persuasion, though. That would honestly be better than a print book.

Failing that, I'd like a signed copy of Les Miserables. It's still a cornerstone of my ethical framework in a lot of ways, plus... even though I'm not sure there are signed copies, I feel like Victor Hugo would be the kind of person who would sign a lot of copies of his most famous book. I think it's not beyond the realm of possibility to walk into some second-hand book store and find his very distinctive scrawl on a title page.

I’m glad that Marius kept his promise and kissed Éponine’s brow. Hugo’s insistence on it not being “infidelity” is a bit strange, but it’s true that it doesn’t feel romantic; it’s just an act of kindness of love to someone who died tragically after a horrific life.

I love that Éponine also had a lot of agency (even if her possessiveness is terrifying). Her rationale is scary, but she’s the one who’s initiated most of the recent plot events in the story. The circumstances that led to her thinking death was the best option (ie her poverty) were outside of her control, but she at least orchestrated the circumstances of her death. Hugo isn’t flinching from the dark psychological aspect of living in poverty as deep as Éponine’s, but he’s respecting that she can make choices within that limited framework as well.

And while Marius’ desire to protect Gavroche because he’s a Thénardier (instead of because he’s a child) is frustrating, his plan is clever! He’d be able to let Cosette know what’s going on and rescue Gavroche at the same time. Of course, Gavroche has his own priorities, but Marius is trying his best.

Source: The Sydney Morning Herald, 27 June 1864

The readers of Victor Hugo's last romance, Les Miserables — and they are many, and the work, with all its faults, is a striking one — can hardly fail to have been impressed by the portrait of the lowly, self-denying Bishop of D— ; the 'bishop' to whom his affectionate flock could find, in one of his own baptismal names, so appropriate an epithet, that he is represented as having been familiarly known amongst them as Monseigneur Bien-venu — Monseigneur Welcome. To many, and to English readers especially, the character may appear forced and fanciful; and yet, allowing for the not unnatural exaggeration of a novelist, exaggeration which has unfortunately a tendency to throw upon an otherwise charming character on air of ridicule, the portrait of Monseigneur Myriel is no unfaithful sketch of the life and character of the prelate who for the first quarter of the present century (from 1806 to 1838) adorned the episcopal throne of Digne, in the south of France. Those who have had the courage to wade through the formidable array of volumes of an author of undoubted talent, but of extravagance of style and imagination unbounded — an author who mingles in one marvellous amalgam the true and the false, good and evil, the pathetic and the horrible — with a bad taste disconcerting to those most disposed to admire his real ability; will perhaps gladly learn something more of the true history of the saintly bishop whom Monsieur Victor Hugo has brought before us as fulfilling so touching, but at the same time so singular a part.

There is no concealment about the matter. The prelate introduced by our author to serve as the framework for his socialistic and pantheistic theories, and called by him Monseigneur Charles François Bienvenu Myriel, Bishop of D— , is none other than the late Charles François Melchior Bienvenu Miollis.Bishop of Digne. The most cursory comparison of the facts of the venerable prelate's life with the portrait drawn by the novelist is sufficient to establish this. Born at Aix, in Provence, in the year 1753, of pious parents, his father being a zealous and conscientious magistrate, he was ordained priest by the Bishop of Carpentras, in the year 1777, and sent forthwith to fulfill the functions of the priesthood at Brignolles. The strange story of his marriage, and of his worldly and dissipated life is due entirely to the vivid imagination of the novelist, and is a libel upon the character of this good man, who from childhood manifested the most earnest piety; piety which we may well believe to have been fostered by that pure home life to which his father had accustomed him, and of which that father had set the best example, by the praiseworthy practice of daily family prayer, and of other works of virtue and religion. At the epoch of the Revolution, Mons. Miollis, who was conscientiously unable to take the oath required of the clergy by the Revolutionary Government, appears to have emigrated to Rome, and, during his residence in that city, to have devoted himself to researches into the history and antiquities of the Christian metropolis. Eleven manuscript volumes remain to attest his industry, and contain the most interesting results of his enquiries. Upon his return to France, he became attached, in the capacity of vicaire (curate), to the parish of Saint Saviour, at Aix, where he had long been known for his devotion to works of charity, and his zeal for the instruction of the young in the principles of Christianity. It was with regret that, in 1894, he left this modest post, to return to his former cure and it was at Brignolles that, two years afterwards, the episcopate, literally, sought him out. Far from seeking this promotion, he never ceased to reproach himself with having allowed a burden, which he esteemed beyond his powers, to be laid upon him nor was he fully reassured on this point till after he had completely freed himself from the yoke. When the Emperor Napoleon came to a rupture with Pope Pius VII, Monseigneur de Miollis made on concealment of his sentiments. Summoned to the Council of 1811, with his colleagues, his bearing was firm and honourable. The following anecdote is wonderfully characteristic of the man. The Emperor, having had with him a long private interview with the object of gaining over the Bishop to his own views, the prelate replied, with deep respect but perfect firmness, "Sire, It is my, rule and practice to come to no decision in matters of moment without taking counsel of the Holy Spirit. Allow me time." The following day, the Emperor again accosting him, as follows: " Well, Monsieur, and what says the Holy Spirit ?" "Sire," replied the Bishop of Digne, "not a word of what your Majesty was pleased to say to me yesterday." When the Emperor, on his return from Elba, passed through the city of Digne, the Bishop, insensible alike to fear and favour, remained at home in his palace. The Emperor, respecting the noble independency of the Prelate, continued his course, the course which, though he knew it not, was so soon to terminate on the field of Waterloo.

In the early years of his episcopate, the diocese of Digne comprehended the department of the Upper and Lower Alps, a sufficiently extended district. Moreover, during the prolonged vacancy of the Archbishopric of Aix it fell to the lot of Monseigneur Miollis to discharge, in addition, the episcopal functions in the dioceses; so that he had not only to traverse the rude mountains, intersected by torrents, and bordered by precipices, and for the most part trackless, of the Alpine districts, which he was accustomed to do either in a light car, or mounted modestly, like our Saviour, upon an ass, or even on foot, staff in hand; but it became necessary for him to take long journeys, even to the borders of the Mediterranean Sea, for the purpose of preaching and confirming; the consecration of churches, and the visitation of schools, hospitals, and the poor — duties, which he performed with indefatigable zeal. At last, in 1838, overcome by age and the laborious nature of his duties, he resigned the see, and retiring to the house of a married sister, in Aix, devoted himself to the preparation for death, and for the account which he would soon have to render of his long administration. During the five years thus spent, he was the admiration of the whole place, as well on account of his profound humility as for the incomparable patience with which he endured the pains and infirmities of old age, supported by an union with God so close, so constant that nothing could henceforth disturb him. On the 27th June, 1843, the venerable Monseigneur de Miollis slept the sleep of the just, at the age of ninety years and nine months; leaving to his clergy and his flock, together with the reputation of his lofty and beautiful holiness, the legacy of the inextinguishable memory of his works of piety and charity His funeral was a veritable triumph. The city of Digne, in the cathedral of which, by his own desire he was interred, was adorned as for a festival, and in place of the mourning and sadness which are the usual accompaniments of such scenes, there was a certain subdued and holy joy, a sort of spontaneous and popular ovation as to a saint already glorified. [. . .] The readers of Les Miserables, or of this brief sketch, may satisfy any interest in the life of the subject of these notes which may have been excited in them by reference to the Life of Monseigneur Miollis, by L'Abbé Bondil; an 8vo. of something under 300 pages, published at Paris (Repos. Rue Bonaparte) a year or two ago, and costing something less than half-a-crown. To those who have derived their notions of the Bishop solely from Monsieur Hugo, the perusal of his life may be recommended almost as a matter of duty, inasmuch as they will thereby learn that all the good attributed by the novelist to his priestly hero falls short of reality; while certain false ideas to which the romance can hardly fail to have given rise will be found to have no place in the reality. To all, the memoir referred to may be suggested as an interesting and well written account of one whom the staunchest "Protestant " will allow to have been a "good and faithful servant" of his Lord.

One thing I like of Les Mis re: Javert is the recurring theme of Surface vs. Depth or like objetive reality vs subjective

Illuminism, the very thing Hugo defends in civilization, progress, republican utopia, the end of superstition and the embracing of science of reason and even in some sense actual light (as in, public illumination, mapping of the sewers, opening doors and windows, opening the doors of the convent) is a good in and of itself.

HOWEVER. However. There is a contradictory theme here of then accepting the hidden depths that we can't see. Javert can only see the outside of things or the appearance of them. He couldn't even feel Marius's heartbeat, and he couldn't conceive of 'grieving' or 'loss' as emotions he could only say 'there will be a funeral'. Because he thinks only in terms of the effects, or of facts (which is part of the discussion we were having of the meaning of fact vs right in french, 'ways of fact'). Javert conceived of himself as a limpid pool but he just now had to come to grips with the fact that he has a human soul inside and he is not, in fact, an empty object or category.

Illuminism is sometimes criticized for this hyper-objectification of reality through a very specific White European lens that doesn't accept itself as biased. "We are civilization and we are the owners of objective truth". This is when anthropology was created, when phrenology started to get super popular, eugenics as well. So another thing I think is super interesting about Javert and this chapter specifically is the open criticism of the illuminism framework. Reality is not, for Hugo, simply a matter of phenomena. You need to consider beyond that when talking about ethics. Pactical day-to-day justice is not real divine justice. Is lying evil? Well first, what even is objective good and evil? You can't simply impose them 1:1 on an imperfect world

and also I find that this is a precursor to phenomenology, but that would take a long time and way more research to talk about. Just saying that Hugo is sometimes contradictory and hella interesting and in a way is also forward thinking but conservative too. And that's why I can't just say Les Mis is this or that. It's not a simple novel and probably the reason it was so hard for people at the time to defend it in the public sphere and why its critics have a really hard time simply like. Having a super basic understanding of what the book says

Why You Might Want to Switch Off WordPress in 2025

WordPress has been a dominant blogging platform for years, but it’s no longer the best fit for every use case. Many users find its maintenance and performance issues burdensome. Here’s why you might consider switching:

The Importance of Choosing Platforms with Good Content Policies

The content policies of a platform shape the kind of community it fosters and, by extension, the broader digital landscape. When choosing a blog framework or newsletter platform, it’s essential to consider how they address hate speech, harassment, and harmful behavior.

Platforms with clear and well-enforced content policies create spaces where diverse voices can thrive, and users feel safe. By supporting these platforms, we help build an internet that promotes constructive dialogue and meaningful engagement.

As creators, the platforms we choose reflect our values. Prioritizing platforms with strong content policies isn’t censorship; it’s about ensuring safe, inclusive spaces where everyone can participate respectfully. Together, we can contribute to a better, more responsible internet.

To help you choose the best platform for your blog or newsletter, I’ve compiled a comprehensive spreadsheet comparing 20 different services.

This resource covers key details like pricing, ease of use, audience suitability, and—importantly—their policies on hate speech, including links to their content policies.

I created this spreadsheet by thoroughly researching each platform’s features and policies to provide you with the essential information needed to make an informed choice…

👉 Here’s a link to the spreadsheet 👈

I hope that it saves you time and helps you find a platform that aligns with your values and goals.

Substack: A Troubling Example

Substack is popular for newsletters but criticized for its approach to hate speech. The company has stated it won’t remove Nazi content or other white supremacist ideologies unless it incites direct violence. This permissive stance has made it a hub for harmful ideologies.

Ask Yourself:

• Do you want to support a platform that tolerates Nazi content?

• Are you comfortable associating your brand with Substack’s content policy?

Platforms With Stronger Content Policies

• Ghost: Enforces clear guidelines against hate speech and white supremacy.

• Medium: Takes a strong stance against hateful content, fostering a positive community.

• Buttondown: Ethical and straightforward, with a commitment to inclusive content.

It’s so funny! Hugo’s explanation of the revolt is quite similar to Jacques Derrida explaining deconstruction! “What deconstruction is not? everything of course! What is deconstruction? nothing of course!” (Letter to a Japanese friend) And Hugo: “Of what is revolt composed? Of nothing and of everything.”

In Hugo’s description, the trio heading to the barricade (Marius, Éponine, and Mabeuf) seem to perfectly fit “the elements of revolt”: “Irritated convictions, embittered enthusiasms, agitated indignations, instincts of war which have been repressed, youthful courage which has been exalted, generous blindness; curiosity, the taste for change, the thirst for the unexpected, the sentiment which causes one to take pleasure in reading the posters for the new play, and love, the prompter’s whistle, at the theatre; the vague hatreds, rancors, disappointments, every vanity which thinks that destiny has bankrupted it; discomfort, empty dreams, ambitions that are hedged about, whoever hopes for a downfall, some outcome, in short, at the very bottom, the rabble, that mud which catches fire,—such are the elements of revolt.” I think they more or less fall into these categories: “disappointments… discomfort, empty dreams.”

The parallels drawn between revolt and the forces of nature are just haunting! I really like them.

The assertion that a weak revolt only strengthens the power does seem quite true, if we look at examples of protests in Russia and Belarus. “a little revolt is desirable from the point of view of power. System: revolt strengthens those governments which it does not overthrow. It puts the army to the test… it draws out the muscles of the police; it demonstrates the force of the social framework. It is an exercise in gymnastics; it is almost hygiene. Power is in better health after a revolt, as a man is after a good rubbing down.” This is precisely what happened there.

Other points in this chapter are also quite interesting: the discussion about the price of revolt, its certain aesthetics, particularly its Parisian specific, and of course, the matter of bloodshed. It’s noteworthy that Hugo provides an example of the successful July revolt and how the bourgeoisie was complaining about the massacres, which allegedly dishonoured the victory.

And tomorrow, we’ll be lectured about the differences between various kind of popular movements. Ok. Let’s see what it holds.

Hi again 👉👈 I'm very grateful that I could share my thoughts about Richard- LOTR delusion...i mean crossover 😇 I have started January with the major cold, and I've had a lot of time to rewatch the whole saga again, as it is my beloved series.... And maybe I've got more thoughts about lotr universe! Rammstein 👉👈 for now, though, RZK Elrond supremacy has rotten my brain, and that's all I can think about, so thank you for letting me share that 🥺🥺🥺 much love to you, elf anon 💜💜💜💜

Hello elf anon, nice to hear from you again 🧝🏼‍♂️

Any kind of thoughts/theories/crossovers/questions are always very welcome! And even if it may seem delusional or borderline crazy, with the right attitude (and a bit of research), almost everything gets a proper framework and a base to work with 😇

I have to say, your Elrond-ask caused me to start my little Lord of the Rings obsession again, to the point where I plan on rewatching the other two movies and most likely the Hobbit ones over the next few weeks - Richard in a fantasy setting has been cooking in my brain a lot (I even have some elaborate scenarios in my mind and if I were fic writer, I would probably work on it 😅), so I need more material to feed this obsession 🫡

AND, something which is maybe totally out of place here, but as a teen I kind of couldn't stand Hugo Weaving, since he played Agent Smith in the Matrix movies (the first one is my favourite movie ever), so seeing him as a gentle and courageous Elrond again helps me redefine him a bit in my brain 😅

So yes, thank you again for sharing your thoughts 😊

While we're at it: Richard in the fashion and style of Thranduil. Something to think about (at least I do 👀).

Finals - Resurrect Bracket (Losers Bracket)

ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to [make it to the finals]

Propaganda below ⬇️

Claude Frollo Propaganda:

This man got horny and his response was “that woman must burn”

I love him so much. More seriously Book Frollo is much more ambivalent than Disney Movie Frollo which makes sense because we’re talking about Victor Hugo VS a children’s movie. He didn’t kill Quasimodo’s mom, he took him in (when himself was only nineteen and already in charge of his own baby brother since their parents had died not long before) when he was left on the church’s doorstep. I mean, he does quite a few reprehensible and slightly evil stuff afterwards but he had a good start, you know ? He taught Quasi to communicate by signs when he became deaf because of the bells. He was also very much into alchemy which was pretty cool. His behavior towards Esmeralda was still very much not okay but I’d like to point out that Phoebus is also a jerk in this one. And Quasi’s quite a bit amoral because no intelligent enough to understand some stuff

I actually haven’t gotten very far through the book yet but from the musical (not the disney one the other one it’s SO GOOD) I can confirm he sucks at being catholic. literally tells a child over and over that he’s ugly and unlovable until he fully believes it and won’t let the kid go outside. https://genius.com/Alan-menken-out-there-lyrics (lyrics to the song in which frollo convinces quasimodo he’s unlovable. ableist as hell and shitty in every way you can possibly imagine and it breaks my heart every time. feel free to listen to the actual track but it doesn’t get good until about 40 seconds in) frollo keeps saying it’s good and right to punish sinners himself, and it’s not right that the wicked go unpunished. there’s a really satisfying moment in the musical where quasimodo sees him for what he is and repeats his words back to him (7:45 - 8:54, frollo is the one with the insanely deep voice) and it gives me goosebumps every time to hear that “yes you do” link to that video: https://youtu.be/HL7WZcTIgus

I honestly wrote this submission because I suffered from severe insomnia for being reminded that I might have poor taste when it comes to enjoying media since I enjoy Disney version of Frollo even after I watched other versions of this character. (I am so sorry the host yes I am that annoying anon lying in the dark little corner of your ask box. I have no other thing to do in my life so hello again) His character is different from the original novel version, and to be honest as an adoption, that is NOT necessarily WRONG. He had more struggles with his pride and his self-imagine in the Catholic framework. “Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man, of my virtue I am justly proud” as the opening line of his villain song, clearly states his main struggle throughout the movie–pride and self-imagine (super-ego) vs lust and instinct (id). Once his self-imagine in the Catholic framework was on shaking ground, he bent his twisted sense of “righteous” to make him less painful. Tbh, the novel version used the example of Bruno d’Ast to justify his hornyness, so it’s just classical Frollo behaviour no matter which version it is. (SMASH THE TABLE) HAVE YOU READ~~THE NOVEL~~ I REPEAT: HIS CHARACTER IS NOT JUST “I HATE WITCHCRAFT AND I AM HORNY AND RACIST”. I REPEAT: HIS CHARACTER IS NOT JUST “I HATE WITCHCRAFT AND I AM HORNY AND RACIST”. I REPEAT: HIS CHARACTER IS NOT JUST “I HATE WITCHCRAFT AND I AM HORNY AND RACIST”. I am sorry for the noise pollution in your submission Google form. I should have taken my sedatives regularly. I am truly sorry. Also please don’t bully me in the debate, novel/musical enjoyers. LOOK, I AIN’T YOUR ENEMY. I LOVE NOVEL/MUSICAL FROLLO, I JUST LOVE DISNEY VERSION AS WELL, I AM AS TORMENTED AS YOUR FAVORITE CATHOLIC PRIEST. I am not a native tongue, so I tried my best to express my thoughts/feelings/justification why Disney version should be a qualified candidate as well. If you tried to debate with me, I would be drowned in my poor English. Sorry again.

Some Curious Relics of Victor Hugo

Apropos of Victor Hugo, there has been installed in the foyer of the Theatre des Nations, a curious collection of relics of the defunct poet, including not only the pen that he was accustomed to use, but also a tin lantern that he was wont to light his steps with at night during his sojourn to Guernsey. The great curiousity of the exhibition is a series of the poet's drawings. They are wild, fantastic, and original, full of imagination, and showing a sort of tempestuous ardor in the execution. Had not Victor Hugo been born a great writer he would have rivaled Gustave Dore on his own ground. But he was destined to write "Les Miserables," not to illustrate Dante. There are a number of portraits shown, representing the poet from his earliest days to the close of his career. They look for the most part strangely unfamiliar to those who have only known "the old man eloquent" in these latter years. The massive head, sublimely picturesque with its snowy framework of profuse locks and ample beard, is hardly to be recognized in the smooth-faced young man with the dome-like brow that wrote "Hernani" and "Marion Delorme." He did not let his beard grow until he was 65. The letters and autographs shown in glass cases are especially interesting. One of these is the dedication of "Les Miserables" to the child actress, little Daubray, who played Cosette in a dramatic version of the work.

Source: the Greencastle Times, 18 February 1886 The above image isn't from 1886 (obviously) but I thought it paired well with the story; you can read more about it here. The book is Les Enfants, with a dedication to Daubray, not Les Miserables. Anyways, just thought it was interesting and I love to find a mention of Cecile Daubray because I just think she was cool.
