THE CYNIC

.

“Wake up!”

he insists.

“And smell the fresh bouquet

that Life's very own Lilly of the Valley

gives to you, freely!

The scent of the sense of

adventure that trails

across hills and dale

and rushes up to meet you!”

I can smell that smell.

I have a nose.

But I won't say hello,

won't shake its hand.

Look, I can’t help

that my eyes dance a side-glance

and my fingers

tap-tap an unsure rhythm

on my thigh.

And when I over-my-shoulder,

looking for the coffin,

his face falls down

as deep as that stupid valley.

The Optimist

It’s not the imperfection of humans that is so troubling, for the optimist accepts the premise that humans are inherently flawed. Rather it is the extent of those flaws, their expression, their dimension and depth, their width and manifestation, the unrelenting drumbeat — enough that the optimist is overwhelmed — but not alone. Bedside him, the cynic plunges, and hits the floor, dazed and weak,…

Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

oh my god so here's the thing. he has other people besides enjolras in his life!!!! i hate it when people discount his friendships with the other les amis bc like...come on he was legit friends with them too.

also, hot take, but artist!grantaire is a bit overrated. pls give me more where he does something other than art. i'm partial to fencing.

               If there’s no light at the end, it’s not a tunnel-

                                                                                              it’s a hole.

Public Defender, Law Enforcement, 25+

All the good intentions you might have initially clung to are long gone now.  Between seeing the corruption from both within and without, your faith in humanity has sunk too low. Half the guilty parties that you end up defending are arguably not any worse than the people who are trying for convictions against them. What was once a calling has now become nothing more than an exhausting grind.

Apply for this character.

Motherly Disappointment

Mom: Lynx, I know you���re reading Les Miserables. Who’s your favorite character?

Me: I really like Grantaire, he’s so interesting and clever. Really, the musical doesn’t do him justic-

Mom: *With palpable disappointment* Is that the drunk one?

Me *internally*: GRANTAIRE IS A WONDERFUL CHARACTER! THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO HIM THAN HIS ALCOHOLISM, HE IS SO INTERESTING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY EXPLORE HIS CHARACTER AND FIND OUT WHY HE DRINKS SO MUCH AND WHY HE IS SO CYNICAL AND ALMOST NIHILISTIC

Me: Yeah, the drunk one...
