i just dont really understand why theyd target les mis? and like. its interrupting the work of actors and crew and house staff who dont have anything to do with fossil fuel corps. people who just paid to see the show who dont have anything to do with it.

i understand les mis is a show about rebellion and humanity but to me it doesnt make any sense.

( i say this as someone whos probably very unaware and very slow to realize the deeper meaning of things so i apologize if it comes off snobby i am just confused !! /genuine )

I'm very sorry if this comes off as rude but like.... "I don't understand why people would use Les Mis as the symbolic centerpiece of an act of protest/rebellion against the government" is just a very strange thing to say, and I'm genuinely not quite sure how to begin to respond XD. Like....it's literally Les Mis. It is Do You Hear the People Sing. The original novel was written to be a political rallying cry, it was written to bind together activists, and it has been used that way thousands of times since its publication in 1862. It's Les Mis, I don't know what else to tell you XD. Also I know this next comparison isn't perfect, but:

“I don’t understand why Les Amis interrupted Lamarque’s funeral.  Obviously I agree with Les Amis’s goals, but was this really the right way to protest? Obviously the government is doing something bad— but was this symbolic event really the right place to talk about it? Why even choose to interrupt this event, and the lives of the workers leading it and everyday people attending it? It wasn’t responsible for what was happening! 

Okay, yeah, I get the funeral is ‘symbolically significant.’  I get that Lamarque has become, in popular culture, a symbol of rebellion and resistance against a government’s unfair policies.  I get Lamarque’s funeral is a pretty big public event that has a lot of symbolic significance ties to ideas of rebellion against the state.

I get that Lamarque’s words are often seen as a rebellious call to action, so illegally interrupting his funeral could be a statement about resisting tyranny. It could be a call to action playing off the popularity and symbolic role that Lamarque has in the public consciousness.

 But at the same time— shouldn’t Les Amis have just gone to the palace and attacked the king directly? Why disrupt this symbolic event instead? They’re not really going after the people responsible! 

After all, there were so many people there who just wanted a normal day. They weren’t responsible for what the government was doing and had nothing to do with it.  They wanted to see the procession, to hear Lafayette’s speech and grieve a political figure they cared for. They wanted to hear people praise ‘resistance’ in the abstract, without actually doing it.

 Weren’t Les Amis disrupting that?  

Aren’t Les Amis bad activists? Isn’t disrupting people’s everyday lives for the sake of 'activism' always inherently a bad thing? I’m not against activism, but isn’t doing that kind of disruptive activism rude? Isn’t disrupting the lives of ordinary people just doing their jobs or going out for a special event evil— no matter why you’re doing it, or what your goals are, or whether the government actually is doing something vile that we should start to stage great events rallying against?

Even if this Lamarque's funeral has special significance because of its symbolic pop cultural ties to rebellion against tyranny—shouldn’t they have just avoided rudely interrupting some regular people’s everyday lives? 

Protests shouldn’t disrupt things. they should be big parades that don’t make anyone uncomfortable, don’t interrupt anything, and don’t disrupt any aspects of ‘normal people’s daily life.’ No one should ever target symbolic events— like a funeral for a political figure or a musical about revolution—  to make a political statement. Protests should be little quiet festivals that cause absolutely no interruption in everyday life so that we can all just safely ignore them, until the climate catastrophe they’re warning us about arrives.”  

#les miserables #les mis #sklajdfsf sorry if this comes off as rude its also not my intention. im just a bit baffled XD #but slakdjfsdf #no hard feeligns though kinda #but protest is supposed to be disruptive and to prevent life from continuing as normal #and using Les Mis-- a story that is theoretically about rebellion against tyranny-- as the symbolic centerpiece of a disruptive protest #makes a lot of sense #and protests angrily decrying fossil fuel companies is important! #ive noticed its really easy to glorify the concept of protest/resistnace in the abstract #but its hard to deal with the fact a lot ground-level protest. is disruptive to every day people #because its suppsoed to be #and honestly the climate crisis will affect our daily lives far more than student activists interrupting a show #so people wll need to get refunds XD

also I'm deeply enjoying how drastically different the Imperials and Nords see the Dragonborn. like in Nord culture, the Dragonborn is the archetypical Nord hero and to what all Nords of all stations can and should aspire to, they're a religious and cultural symbol and myth and embodiment of the Old Ways when Skyrim could stand against dragons and come out victorious, when the Nords were the center of human civilization on Tamriel before Skyrim was just another province in the empire.

meanwhile the Imperials hear 'Dragonborn' and think: emperors and conquerors, the imperial bloodline, the very foundation of the state and the religious pantheon. people don't just aspire to be like Dragonborn bc the Dragonborn is basically walking proof of the divine right of kings. Dragonborn to the imperials embodies the dragon part, not the dragon slayer. and more than anything, the Dragonborn is the embodiment of the state itself and the empire's legitimacy.

all of this is to say: both General Tullius and Ulfric Stormcloak must've been over the moons excited for the appearance of the Dragonborn and taken it for granted that the LDB would join their side over the other and give them an unbeatable boost in morale and credibility. meanwhile Rikke, the only one who seems to really, genuinely get both cultures, is just "Ah shit, this is gonna suck."

#skyrim #dragonborn #guess who's at work not working lmao #general tullius #ulfric stormcloak #legate rikke #the last dragonborn #ldb #this is even better with Miraak is the LDB aus bc Miraak is the exact opposite of what Nords and Imperials want lol #anyway the dragonborn to the nords is the symbol of victory against tyranny meanwhile the imperials made them the. actual tyranny itself

#Currently reading #been a while since I did a reading update #'Gardens of the Moon' had fascinating worldbuilding but I found it difficult to read/follow #'Mass Effect: Annihilation' was great - loved seeing non-Council aliens taking the spotlight #poor Perturabo (Hammer of Olympia) someone give that primarch a hug #It was good to see more exploring of Navigator houses in 'Rites of Passage' but it felt too generic (especially for 40k) #'Legends & Lattes' was adorable and cosy and heartwarming 'nuff said #'An Unnatural Life' was interesting! I wish it was longer #'The Dawn of Everything' was a blast and an absolute must-read #'Spark of Revolution' was also great - love an abhuman revolution against workplace tyranny!

This man is Stanley Plotkin, the Godfather of vaccines. He is also a consultant to Moderna, one of the main manufacturers of the Covid vaccine. He is under oath admitting to the use of fetal tissue from aborted babies. He also says he'll gladly go to hell for what he's done.

Do you still trust vaccines? 🤔

I'm super curious on your thoughts. What do you think Saw would be like if the tragedy and struggle of the empire hadn't happened? A timeline where the empire never reigned. If he hadn't lost what he had at the hands of the empire? What do you think he would be like?

I've only been through a couple pieces of SW media that have him in it, but I'm super interested in his character.

Anon, this is a FASCINATING ask because honestly? I don’t think we can ever know what kind of a person Saw would be if the empire never came.

When we meet Saw, he’s practically a kid. He and his sister are already 100% into the fight against the Separatists, and he already has his pretty defining trait of doing whatever it takes to stamp out evil. This trait carries through to the rest of his life in his fight against the Empire. The fascinating thing about Saw is that (in my opinion ofc) he legitimately can’t function in a time of peace. The thesis of his characterization (the ends justifying the means) utterly consumes him to the point that it’s impossible to say what he would be like if the separatists and the empire had never come to be. Saw isn’t a person who can abide by peace. He might fight for a version of it, but he’ll never be able to win in a way that satisfies him.

I mentioned this in the tags of another post, but there’s this quote in rebels that makes Saw one of the most interesting characters in all of Star Wars

“I hope, Senator, after you've lost, and the Empire reigns over the galaxy unopposed, you will find some comfort in the knowledge that you fought according to the rules." (season 4, episode 3)

The Rebellion is characterized by an unwavering commitment to hope and kindness and mercy. The war is literally won by Luke’s refusal to give up on his father, no matter how far he’s fallen. This is framed as the morally correct view by the text and meta text of the film, because at the end of the day, Star Wars is about hope. But with Saw, kindness and mercy are luxuries that he can’t afford to indulge in. In his mind, why should he offer mercy to the Empire that took everything from him? Why must he be the bigger person? And in the end, because he cannot (or wont) abide by these traits, he’ll never stop fighting. There will always be another injustice to correct, there will always be anger on everything he does. That’s why I believe the writers decided for him to die in Rogue One, because there’s no place for someone like him in a time of peace. To close us out, I leave you with a snippet of my writing

#And it brings up the point that Saw might not be entirely incorrect #Why do we feel obligated to be the bigger person against tyranny? #Why do we wrap ourselves in respect and honor the rules of an entity that clearly has none for us? #Should we hold our heads high and not stoop to their level? Or should we do anything it takes to make the oppressors stop? #Anyways #thats just my two cents #star wars rebels #saw gerrera #rogue one #the clone wars

See it Does annoy me that the convo with gamers around obsidian is always in relation to new vegas. :) like they act like they care about obsidian but the only obsidian game they ever yell about is fallout new vegas and sure they yell about the outer worlds but only in its relation to fnv (that it's mid compare to fnv) and it is personally Annoying to me as an obsidian fan bc they're out here constantly putting obsidian on the pedestal above betheada but then they don't look at pentiment or pillars of eternity or tyranny or literally any other obsidian game. :)) like idc for new vegas 2 in fact I hope they don't ever do it and just do whatever they want. Like...that Is how pentiment happen and I'm sorry but I'm not trading that for a sequel to a 14 year old game that was basically complete anyway and also janky on release :)

#elaine talks #in other news amazon's fallout tv show has brought on the most annoying thing about fallout #that todd howard has a personal vendetta against obsidian #and ppl writing what is essentially fanfiction about the development of new vegas #all of these have been disproven by the ppl who worked on it btw lmao #and the sacred cow status that fnv has over other...obsidian games #ur all here yelling that bethesda personally bankrupted obsidian that they had to result to kickstarter to fund poe and tyranny #BUT did you EVEN PLAY poe and tyranny??????
