Me: stops watching Doctor Who actively in 2015

Me: decides to rewatch best bits of series 4

Me: somehow gets lost and watches series 3 as well and is thinking about series 2... And TenRose fan fiction would be great to read

I wonder what kind of music Mona would like

#art #2012 mona lisa #tmnt 2012 #mona lisa #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #I like the idea of her enjoying Raph's edgy music. They can listen to metal together #But idk it feels bad just being like 'She likes all the stuff that Raph likes' and leaving it at that #She's gotta enjoy other things too #I just don't know what because I only listen to edgy music gfhjdfjh #Idk what else there is. There are no other genres to me #Idk if you can tell but I've been having Mona brainrot this afternoon

The thing is, Jean Valjean’s “nineteen year prison sentence for stealing a loaf of bread” from Les Mis isn’t actually unusual….not even today! I see people talking about it as if it’s strange or unimaginable when it happens every day.

In modern America — often as a result of pointlessly cruel (and racist) habitual offender and mandatory minimum laws— people are routinely sentenced to life in prison for minor crimes like shoplifting or possession of drugs.

The ACLU did a report in 2013 detailing the lives of various people who were sentenced to life in prison without parole for nonviolent property crimes like:

•attempting to cash a stolen check

•a junk-dealer’s possession of stolen junk

metal (10 valves and one elbow pipe)

•possession of stolen wrenches

•siphoning gasoline from a truck

•stealing tools from a tool shed and a welding machine from a yard

•shoplifting three belts from a department store

•shoplifting several digital cameras

•shoplifting two jerseys from an athletic store

• taking a television, circular saw, and a power converter from a vacant house

• breaking into a closed liquor store in the middle of the night

And of course, so so so many people sentenced to life without parole for the possession of a few grams of drugs.

And we could go on and on!

Gregory Taylor was a homeless man in Los Angeles who, in 1997, was sentenced to “25 years to life” for attempting to steal food from a food kitchen. He was released after 13 years. The lawyers helping to release him even cited Les Miserables in their appeal, comparing Taylor’s sentence to Jean Valjean’s.

And there’s another specific bit of social commentary Hugo was making about Valjean’s trial that’s still depressingly relevant. He writes that Valjean was sentenced for the theft of loaf of bread, but also that the court managed to make that sentence stick by bringing up some of his past misdemeanors. For example, Valjean owned a gun and was known to occasionally poach wildlife (presumably for his starving family to eat.) . So the court exaggerates how harmful the bread theft was—he had to smash a windowpane to get the bread, which is basically Violence— then insist the fact that he owns a gun and occasionally poaches is proof that he is habitually and innately violent. Then when Valjean obviously becomes distressed traumatized and furious as a result of his nakedly unjust sentence and begins making desperate (and very unsuccessful/impulsive/ poorly thought through) attempts to escape…. the government indifferently tacks more years onto his sentence, labels him a “dangerous” felon, and insists that its initial read of him as an innately violent person was correct.

And it’s sad how a lot of the real life stories linked earlier are similar to the commentary Hugo wrote in 1863? Someone will commit a nonviolent property crime, and then the court insists that a bunch of other miscellaneous things they’ve done in the past (whether it’s other minor thefts or being addicted to drugs or w/e) are Proof they’re inherently violent and incapable of being around other people.

A small very petty fandom side note: This is also why I dislike all those common jokes you see everywhere along the lines of “lol it’s so unrealistic for the police to want to arrest Valjean over a loaf of bread, there must have been some other reason the police were pursuing him. Because the state would never punish someone that harshly and irrationally for no reason. so maybe javert was just gay haha”. (Ex: this tiktok— please don’t harass the creator or poster though, I don’t think they were intending to mean anything like that and its just a silly common type of joke you see made about Les mis all the time so it’s not unique in any way.) because like.

As much as I don’t think Les Mis is a flawless book or that its political messaging is perfect….the only way that insanely long unjust sentences for minor crimes is “unrealistic” is if you’re operating on the assumption that prisons are here to Keep You Safe by always only punishing bad criminals who do serious crimes. And that’s just, not true at all. Like I get that these are just goofy silly shallow jokes, and I’m not angry or going to harass anyone who makes them. but it feels like there’s an assumption underlying all those goofy jokes that “this is just not how prison works!” “Prisons don’t routinely sentence people to absurd laughably unjust pointless sentences!” “Prisons give people fair sentences for logical reasons!” When like…no

Valjean being relentlessly hounded and tortured for a minor crime in a way that is utterly ridiculous and arbitrary in its cruelty is not actually a plot hole in Les mis. It’s a plot hole in …..society ajsjkdkdkf. And the only way to fix that is to fight for prison abolition or at least reform, and (in America) stand up against the vicious naked cruelty of habitual offender and mandatory minimum laws.

But yeah :(. I hate how Les Mis opens with a prologue saying the novel will be obsolete the moment the social issues it describes have been resolved— but two hundred years later, the book is still more relevant than ever because we’re dealing with so many of the exact same injustices.

#les mis #lm 1.2.6 #Jean Valjean #anyway sometimes lm 1.2.6 makes me sad and sometimes it makes me angry #today I feel both #: ‘((((((((((((((( #but yeah #also again I don’t hate people who make the goofy ‘lol valjeans prison sentence was so unrealistic javert must be gay’ jokes #i get that they’re jokes #and that they’re mostly made by people who like watched Les mis 2012 once #but also #but also but also #:’’’’( #I don’t know the tragedy of valjeans story and the continued relevance of that social commentary Gets to me #Les mis letters #Les mis daily

I need the 2012 fandom to talk about Donnie's contact in April's Shellphone (i forgot what they're called sue me)

#based on the fact that he's frowning in the picture #it was taken in secret and edited by April herself #WHICH IS JUST SO FUNNY #she really put him down as Donny Boy that's so cute :(( #and the little flowers with the bow on his head??? #i feel like they could've had such a cute friendship if it wasn't for Donnie's weird crush on her #i love 2012 April so much she's just a silly lil gal #fav girlfail frfr #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2k12 #2012 tmnt #2k12 tmnt #tmnt 2012 donnie #tmnt 2012 donatello #tmnt 2012 april #i seriously need to see what her contacts for the rest of the guys looks like

[miahasahardname]

these images have a very similar vibe to me and i don’t quite know why

#the biggest difference is mikey isn’t trying to bite raph. it just kinda looks like it #2012 mikey and raph are disastrous twins in a different way to rise leo and donnie #love em both but er. i have a bias. if it wasn’t obvious #feel free to ignore this isn’t a very important post #tmnt raph #tmnt mikey #tmnt leo #tmnt donnie #2012 raph #2012 mikey #rottmnt leo #rottmnt donnie #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #rottmnt #ignoreable post

Based on a convo that I had with a friend haha.

I've always seen anger as a very useful emotion, something keeps you safe. When in excess it can be negative, but otherwise it's just a feeling that tells you, "Hey, this is unfair." or "Hey, I don't like this."

My friend is kind of rediscovering allowing herself to be angry at things, and so she's just kinda taken to telling me when she's angry. I on the other hand, am very rarely angry. So I just kinda like the emotion, I find it refreshing to be angry.

Being angry can make you feel really empowered.

#this is an exact convo that we had actually #the other people with us were very confused #I feel like it fits well with Leo and feeling he had to regulate his emotions as the eldest and Mikey who we just rarely see angry #tmnt mikey #tmnt leonardo #tmnt donnie #tmnt raphael #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2012 #tmnt 2003 #just me rambling on about feelings hehe #NOT talking about the violent kind of angry here #sleepy art

[vicbutnotactually]

Decided to redesign these guys and practice some expressions :]

The changes are minor except I gave Old Man Leo a plastron crack to match Raph

enjoying 2012 les mis is like. yes i love parts of it. yes aspects of it are absolutely sinful and straight up bad. the acting is terrific. the singing is dogshit (please give jackman a glass of water) except when it verges on angelic (redmayne, barks, and seyfried). the casting is iconic (blagden served cunt for his .2 seconds of screentime and barks is legendary). who let tom hooper direct this (it was mackintosh (derogatory)). why did they cut parts of the songs only to ADD an entire new number. would i recommend watching it? absolutely. should it be your first exposure to les mis? absolutely NOT. was it mine? you know it babes! is it the most well known/popular/easiest version to find? again, yes, but i'm begging you on hands and knees to watch it live or find a bootleg or the 25th anniversary concert or ANYTHING else as an introduction or i promise that the version of the musical that burns itself into your memory will include ugly singing (i speak from experience)

#len speaks #les mis #les misérables #les miserables #les mis 2012 #les misérables 2012 #les miserables 2012 #this is incomprehensible but my feelings on the movie are varied and often contradictory #like the fact that i consider it painfully obvious oscar bait but i still think it should have won more awards <3 #tho thank GOD it didn't get nominated for best original song for suddenly bc. Bad. that song is Boring and Bad
