are we gonna talk about how eponine, the daughter of two criminals, poor and filthy, lives on the streets, is the one that's most frequently played by a black woman?
“it's just easier to picture her as a black woman than cosette” of course it is and i think we all know why.
hey, i didn’t want to derail someone else’s post but its making me deeply anxious not to say anything so I’m gonna make my own
if you are in a privileged group but also a minor? especially a mentally ill minor, and TRIPLE if there is even the most remote chance saying something could result in danger for you?
those ‘use your privilege’ post telling you to stand up to your family members (which i notice becoming increasingly frequent at this time of year) are not directed at you.
(also, significantly more hostile aside - anybody who comes on this post to clown and say that they are feel free to fuck off in literally every goddamn direction)
I know with kids like Greta Thunberg making the news, and post listing other Gen Z kids making changes, it can be easy to feel like those posts are calling you, kids, out specifically.
and don’t get me wrong, I am so, so proud of those kids. and if you can stand up to your family members, I’m proud of you, too.
But, and i mean this in gentlest way possible - this is not your job.
It isn’t. Some of you are taking it on, and thats very noble of you, but it isn’t and should not be your job. anybody who says things like “these kids are gonna save the world” makes me want to tear my hair out because kids should not be saving the world, kids should be being kids. You should be worried about taking the ACT and figuring out what kind of people/if you want to kiss, not fucking fascism.
the most stressful decision you should have to make at a family gathering is what sweater to wear, not putting your literal child self in the middle of a bigoted, hostile confrontation, and anybody - especially any adult - who tells you otherwise is not only an asshole but it is fucking irresponsible, and does not have your best interest at heart.
If I were Katherine — a writer for the newspaper — I simply would not be able to handle being in love with someone who says “We was never...” and “you makes the front page, and then you is made...” etc. I just. straight up. could NOT do that. good for her for allowing love to overcome that because yikes

In my hiatus I’ve been doing a lot of the singing stuff, so here’s my cover of She used to be Mine from Waitress! It was definitely an emotional thing and it took eons from my lifespan but it’s here!!!
