#bc this was getting too crowded?

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

#he also goes on for another six pages after this but by then he has remembered the existence of the full stop #the endnotes say that hugo 'se devait de faire [ce portrait] aussi favorable que possible à la personnalité de l'homme #qui avait favorisé sa carrière' (had to make this portrait as favorable as possible to the character of the man who had favored his career) #in fairness to hugo it's not like louis-philippe was alive to read this. so he wasn't just sucking up to get something out of it #he says at the end of the chapter that this description is 'entirely disinterested'. which like on the one hand i get #bc like i said louis-philippe was not in power and reading this. but otoh victor 'ancien pair de france' hugo u r not exactly unbiased. lol #les mis #lm 4.1.3 #i just looked up the english translation and gasp! hapgood turned it into four separate sentences!!!! #so i think y'all who are reading it via les mis letters (which uses hapgood i think?) are gonna miss out on the full experience :/ #my posts #linked to #syntax #idk if i got this across but the worst part is that the subject of the sentence - the beginning of the independent clause - #doesn't occur until the very end. so for the first 95% of the sentence you're just waiting for the bass to drop!!! #like reading it out loud you have to raise your pitch at the end of every dependent clause because you haven't gotten to the subject yet #AND THERE ARE SO MANY CLAUSES!! 49 SEMICOLONS PEOPLE!!! FORTY-NINE!!!! #victor hugo would be TERRIBLE as a hype man. he would take so long that the crowd would tear him to pieces with their fingernails #before louis-philippe could come out on stage. and then they'd be so mad at louis-philippe for inspiring him that they'd tear LP apart too #actually i think i'm using hype man wrong. i'm thinking of the guy that gets the crowd hyped up for the main guy before the main guy #makes an appearance. a hype man is the guy who makes interjections during a song. victor hugo would be bad at both of these #like just imagine the announcer at the beginning of a basketball game. and now...your starting lineup...at power forward... #and then he just says the 760-word louis-philippe sentence. #dead. murdered at the hands of the fans. microphone shoved down his trachea.

so im listening to the potd audio commentary and jodie's talking about covid restrictions and filming flux and how the restrictions were more intense at the start of filming (was that end of 2020/start of 2021?) and she says "by the time we finished, we could hug" and damn they took that opportunity didnt they

#itS OnLY BeEn A dAy FoR tHe DOcToR wHY dOeS ShE hUg YaZ LikE ThAt #well maybe sometimes you havent been able to hug your friends for six months because of a pandemic have you thought about that dfhkgjhkjgh #i make myself guilty of this too tho i forget about covid all the time #or not forget im the only one in my town still wearing a fucking mask but like #i find it hard to factor in here #bc i dont know when they filmed + theres no covid in dwniverse #or you know. this part of it #but like you dont SEE anyone wearing masks and idk #in like quarantaine times you'd get these visceral reactions to crowd shots on tv right? #but personally ive lost that #i dont go into public places without a mask but everybody else does so like the visual of crowds has become nrmal again #dont think theres crowds in doctor who but like #it doesnt Register so viscerally if people are stnading close to each other #at least to me

two unauthorized bugs in the lust layer!!!! get them now!!!!!!

#ultrakill #v1 #v2 #genuinely just think their dynamic would be so funny #v2 is incredibly nosy and reads all the diaries front to back #while v1's in the background crawling into every vent and blowing itself up to get soul orbs #their fighting styles are quite different in some ways too #while they both focus on mobility and staying always moving #v1 is much less concerned about self-inflicted damage and taking hits #like i love that the feedbacker and knuckleblaster suit their needs so well #v1 can risk parries and projectile boosting bc of the massive blood to recoup damages #while v2 has the knuckleblaster for crowd control and knock back to give it the space it needs #doodle tag #anyways think about the corpse of king minos fight #there's two little ants running around his floor!!!!

I should say smth about the new bsd chapter but ngl i just feel kinda dissapointed by it?? It felt really short and we’ve been stuck on the same characters for a whiiile. It just felt like nothing happened. We got Fukuchi but anime-watchers + that one cover of Fukuchi wearing the mask could fill that in without being told.

There are so many more people Asagiri has to fill us in on; the government’s response to all this, Tecchou losing everyone he loved, Atsushi’s feelings on this, the rest of the entire Agency. What does Kunikida think on Fukuzawa being unable to kill Fukuchi? How’s he feeling now that he’s responsible for the Agency members again?? Bro wasnt named their sucessor for nothing! What’s Yosano been doing, what are her opinions on the use of another immortal regiment for the sake of power? Kenji, Junichirou, Naomi?

I just need a goddamn break from Fyodor

#nikolai i get bc i KNOW asagiri has him stored for later #also the ‘is teruko dead crowd’ are hilarious. yeah she’s redheaded and sometimes a child but do you think asagiri has the guts? #also like. where’s ranpo? he was running for that flash too #bsd #bsd 115 #also. whered the fucking gate come from??? #bsd spoilers #spoilers #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #fukuzawa yukichi #fyodor dostoevsky #aya koda #armed detective agency #kunikida doppo #yosano akiko #miyazawa kenji #tanizaki junichirou #naomi tanizaki #ranpo edogawa #tecchou suehiro

It's mostly horror stories which are the ones who actually get Told so I'm definitely confirmation biased, but just like ... Minors sneaking into the Adult channel. Adults being inappropriate in not-adult channels. Some Big Drama going down while you're asleep and everyone blames you because it's YOUR server and you weren't around to stop it. General drama at all in what's supposed to be a fun space but also you can't really say "good vibes only" when it's something Serious. Being responsible for minors in general. Just thinking about it is making me not wanna share anything ever lmao

#It's different on Tumblr BC I tag major triggers and I'm responsible for No One. Only this one page on the whole website and it's My Page. #not an art #Also again: terrible at online crowd talking. Conversation moves way too fast and I don't understand half of the Kids Today humour #AGAIN IVE JUST HEARD TJE STORIES I'm biased as hell #The nice polite servers don't get talked about yknow #Also I have s full time day job! And commissions and art for fun and DnD I do NOT have time for discord lmao

anyway. not to do a 180 here, but it's gotta be so complicated for mitch marner, who loves to just be around people and in the center of his guys... to have his controversial dad come on these trips. like i'm sure everyone is An Adult and cordial about it, but there's no way it's a tension-free environment given paul's whole...... personality, lol. makes me sad to think about how the dads trip is not something mitch gets to look forward to as much as some of the others whose dads are so much chiller and just happy to be there and see the leafs and behind the scenes.

#like. mitch loves his dad but what a fucking stressful situation #to have to Do ur Job. #to know the man u purposely dont discuss ur job with is in the crowd and #to also probably feel a sense of guilt bc he is the one that pushed u to get this far but. also. like. #this doesnt get to be some relaxing wholesome experience for u..... eveyrone else gets to jsut. Enjoy #but theres a tightrope to walk when ur parent is Like That #and probably not the most enjoyable person to be around for the otehr dads either like. god #idk maybe everythings fine and dandy and ive had too much time to think abt the clip from eysterday but ! #knowing mitch doesnt wanna listen to his dads criticism abt his hockey. #having seen ppl say that toronto hockey circles are small and everyone knows what Pauls like..... its just #SIGH ! sigh #happy he did so well tonight tho. im so proud of him #anyway. love letter to mitch marner. i am always thinking of u #the delicate balance.... the way hes such a big advocate for mental health... ah yes

Step 1) meet a guy who likes you

Step 2) be driven insane by him

Step 3) kill him to become him

Step 4) forever share an intertwining psyche with the guy who likes you, therefore liking yourself

first art post of the new year!!! granted, i don't share my art here that much anyway, but– shhh.

hehehehhhooo,, here's something i've been working on for 'bout a month,, albeit not consecutively– took a few,, very very long breaks in between working on this,, but i managed to finish it in the end! am i satisfied with it? .......ehhhh? not completely, but if this took any longer, it might not have seen the light of day, so like. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

anyway,, made a little poster for my favorite fic, tommyinnit's services for villains, vigilantes, and various other vagabonds, by @scorpionoesit!!! it's really really good,,, and i've always wanted to make more art for it,, so i decided– poster! at least,, that's what it's mean to resemble,,, dkdmkdmdkd.

i will freely admit,, i'm... not the biggest fan of the fan-made logo i tried to design for it,, feels a bit boring, and could definitely have used a bit more pizazz, something to make feel more like the fic itself(what does that mean? you figure that out),,,, but– again, steam was running low,, dkdnksjs. graphic design is my passion. i do also have other complaints, but i'm afraid i already punched my one-use self-critique card,, oh well,,, dkdnkxjdkd.

regardless,, even with the flaws only i can really see,, this still turned out pretty okay!! hope you enjoy it, mx. scorpio and mx. alibi!!! and i hope everyone else has a wonderful new year!!!!

#my art #dream smp #tommyinnit fanart #tommyinnit #i don't wanna try tagging the rest of them so i'm just not gonna <3 #anyway wrow i wonder who the skull guy and mysterious shadowy figure are....... could be anyone. #i was gonna try and fit in some sort of hero so i could check all the dots of everyone tommy's help #specifically either dr**m (derogatory) or phil #(was mostly leaning towards phil) #but 1) couldn't figure out a way to make it look good with the current set up #my first thought was to try moving the current characters around a bit; but then it would feel too crowded #my second thought was to have them appear from the smoke; somehow? a smoky figure? #but that only really looked good in sketch form and i didn't have the patience to figure that out properly #and 2) no clue what their designs look like. don't even know what their powers are; yet! #was also wanting to fit fundy in but it didn't work for the first reason #fun rapid fire character design facts: niki has a littol sharp tooth 'cause of the joker stuff! #i originally gave tubbo green eyes;; but i decided blue-green looked cooler #tech– [cough] i mean;; *orion's* cloak has a faint lil orion pattern on can barely see it but it's there i assure you !!! #(i tried my best for his design but i am. not the greatest at outfits;; especially hero/villain ones) #tommy has long hair bc it's *MY* art and *I* say he gets long hair. this definitely isn't canon to vagabonds i just like to do this #<- also why michael and tommy have freckles #tommy has a bit of green in his design(through the patch) due to a theory of mine :D #might have over-rendered the hair a bit but. fuck you i like it #anyway i think that's all i have to say about it? if you've actually read all these tags;;; have a cookie -> 🍪 #pretend it's a peanut butter cookie #actually. no pretend it's both. you get two cookies. as a treat. #anyway have a good rest-of-your-day !!!!!!

Does anybody want to tell the people still complaining that 13's era didn't have enough political commentary that the anti-imperialism themes, the condemnation of the treatment of refugees and immigrants, the emphasis on violence for violence's sake being bad but violence in the name of protection and self defence is acceptable and heroic (you can and Should fight back against violent colonizers), and and absolute refusal to give any ground to abusers (something the other eras were sketchy at Best over), we could talk about the environmental protection themes that appear about as subtly as a brick more than once (ideally environmental protection shouldn't be a political issue, but idk if you've watched the news lately, it is) were like. Really thematically obvious? And that if you talk about the Less obvious, it gets deeper.

We could talk about medical exploitation and the parallels of the timeless child to henrietta lacks (look her up). We could talk about the northern working class emphasis in the whole era and that its avoidance of the south is a statement in itself, from Sheffield steel to nobody having an upper class accent (sans that one time lord who ran division who had the Snootiest of snooty high class accents. Almost like they were making a Point). We could talk about how all our characters and reoccurring are working class, a bus driver, a trainee mechanic, a hotel manager etc etc, we could talk about the portrayal of actual honest modern poverty, and that it's explicitly shown that Dan Wants to work and is threatened off of the premises instead as the indictment of capitalism it is. We could talk about the very clear condemnation of tech companies taking advantage of their customers (calling fake google Vor was unacceptable tho, no defence available).

I could go on, but I'd like to drink my tea before it gets cold.

Sorry 13 didn't say the words eat the rich, but idk if you noticed, there was an actual whole episode where in the future the 1% who ruin the earth beyond repair literally get hunted and eaten by the mutated remains of the 99% whom they left to die 👍

#dw shit #bc pithy phrases are actually the end word in political commentary #i know 12 got some great Lines but damn not a great deal more depth #dont get me started on the zygon plot #rtd's anti capitalism commentary ceased to be commentary when rose got a rich daddy and ten stole somebody else's lottery winnings #by cheating #(capitalism IS to cheat. if you cheat the system and get money you have Won at capitalism. you cannot critique a system #that works by cheating by cheating it. that's just winnning at it.) #anyway #it's actually quite obvious. most of it. there is subtlty but I've #also spent years reading ppl angry it's so in your face #and it cannot both be in your face and non existent #but hey this is from the crowd that think 13 is too good And too bad to be the doctor #and u know what? I've still not forgiven rtd and moffat for being weirdly up the ass of royalty #at least 13 at best tolerated james #(and tbh moffat just decided to be pro or anti royalty whenever it got the best laugh lbr. somehow this is worse)

okay but my fav little thing is how whenever Lee Know has a singing moment where it's largely just him up on the stage, you can tell he still gets really nervous about it but Seungmin's always off to the side smiling and amping him up, telling fans to sing along- like you can tell he's trying to boost his confidence and its so :((

#Seungmin would get it bc he also used to be more obviously nervous and had to work a lot to improve his vocals so i think #thats why hes encouraging- like its familiar? idk but its very sweet #like i went through and watched a lot of maniac tour vids #and i giffed those two momes where he was saying how beautiful LK's falsetto is to the crowd & the one telling fans to sing along to limbo #and the one where hes doing the LK love fanchant along with the fans #there was one from the melbourne show i think ? and lee knows voice cracked a lil but seungmin kinda helped sing along and cover the moment #its just very sweet #i think probably bc everyone thinks of lee know as the brash confident one of skz #but he does still get nervous and you can see how seriously he takes it when hes up there centre stage #and he & seungmin still do their lil divorce crisis moments but whenever its LK singing singing part seungmins there bein a lil cheerleader #i just think its nice since seungmin's more confident in his vocals and is very self assured on stage to see him trying to bring that #in lee know when hes doing a Proper Vocal moment too is sweet #i just like their friendship im sorry for the long ass tags it is just sweet to meeeeeeeeeee
