That old time religion -- Followers of Wakboth (the Devil, the Doom of the World) seek a return to the Great Darkness when Chaos reigned across Glorantha (Guillaume Sorel, Runequest supplement Les Dieux de Glorantha, Oriflam for Avalon Hill & Chaosium, 1987)
something about that les mis that annoys me ENDLESSLY is that marius just. goes back to being rich after the barricade fails? he even sings a whole ass song about his friends dying for nothing. like bro! the least you could do is respect what they wouldve wanted . and maybe its supposed to be romantic? i fail to see how but i am autistic, aro, and my girlfriend is patria so my perception may be warped idk
and ive not gotten to this point in the book yet so i assume theres some more context there. but like---just knowing the musical, it just seems pretty shitty of him yknow
one thing I genuinely think more people should get into is opera. like I know its kinda slow and hard to understand (english speaking people I am sorry) but its so good. it's dramatic of course but it's funny too when it needs to be!! (the entire first act of la boheme) you've got people suffering, crying, killing out of jealousy and sacrificing themselves for their loved ones and then you've got people cheering to the the wonders of drinking, partying and having sex (la traviata 'libiamo', la cavalleria rusticana 'viva il vino spumeggiante'). and on top of that there are many things happening on stage between the music, the words and the acting that me personally it stimulates me enough to stay focused.
anyone else losing sleep over the fact that Cyrano spoke abt willingly sacrificing the chance of ever being happy someday, as long as he knew it would ensure the happiness of someone he loves, to both Roxane & Christian separately — & then had it ripped from him anyway before he was able to make that sacrifice, without ensuring a thing? yeah me neither
Had a mildly traumatic workplace incident today - a rookie at work was way too eager to demonstrate the dummy link he created for our latest campaign. Aaaand without asking, that bitch snatched my laptop and connected it to a projector and *BOOM* flashed it to a room full of 40-something men and my own lady boss. To everyone's morbid surprise, they were confronted with a collage of the beautiful Aemond Targaryen (with close-up reference shots for sketches)! Although they were all a bit too highbrowed to know about this gorgeous HOTD character, they just shrugged it off as an immature twenty-something being overly obsessed with Slavic models that look like divine creatures.
